“The first thing that you will be learning from me today is how to control your affinity for blood. As a vampire, blood is the same as life for you, you will always desire it and you will always feel as if you cannot live without it. The truth of the matter is that you can, but for an inexperienced vampire like you, it’s impossible as it takes years to control one’s hunger.”Joana sat down in the study, listening to everything that Derick was saying. Tonight, was the first night of her training with him, she didn’t know how long it would take before she would be able to master her vampire powers but she hoped it would be soon enough, as it hadn’t been three days yet and she already missed the sunlight. She turned her focus back on Derick who went to the table to bring the bowl of blood they had gone to hunt for last night. “I will place this bowl directly in front of you, and I will cuff you in handcuffs containing bits of silver; not enough to harm you but to weaken you

“Yes Joana, you guessed it right. They were lovers. Derick fell in love with her right from the first day he joined the coven. They went into a relationship not long after. They were still together when Hillary and I joined the coven. Their bond was inseparable, and no one would have ever thought that they would break up; until John came into the picture. At first, she would lie to Derick that she wanted to go somewhere far, but she would go and see John instead. The outings became too frequent and Derick kept on wondering where she would always be going as they hardly spent time with each other anymore. One day, he decided to spy on her thoughts even though they promised they wouldn’t do that to each other, but he couldn’t help his curiosity anymore. He became heartbroken upon seeing that she had been cheating on him with John. He confronted her about it, and she confirmed it. They broke up immediately after and she continued her relationship with John, eventually moving in wit

“Oh, hey Joana come in, you wanted to see me?” Dana said, placing the book on the bed upon seeing Joana at the entrance. Joana entered the room and walked towards where Dana sat. “Yes, I did,” she said. “I went to your room but you weren’t there. Derick told me where to find you.”“Sorry, sometimes I just get carried away and come here. This is the only part of the castle that reminds me of Marylin. It’s like I can still feel her presence here, you know.“We used to hang out here a lot. I would visit her here and she would always read me stuff from her diary.” Dana then picked up the book she was reading and gave it to Joana. “It’s a magic diary, it was given to her by a pixie,” she said. “It’s pages never wither and only the owner can read it. Try and see if you can.”Joana held the book to her eye and turned one of the pages open. There was nothing written there, just blank pages staring at her. Then suddenly, before her eyes, the words bega

“Marylin’s room? But why?”“Well like what happened with the diary, we thought that if you stayed in her room and slept in her bed, maybe being in the same places she has been might help you remember something useful from your past life. Marylin spent a lot of time there writing. Maybe you might even have a flashback or something if you stayed in the same environment that she did. We don’t know if it will work, but we think it’s worth giving it a shot.”“Then let’s do it!” Joana said. “When would you like to move there?” Derick asked her. “Since you said we aren’t having any lessons today, how about right now?”“Ok then, get your things ready, Dana and I will have it cleaned for you then you can move your things there yourself. You’ll only need to move your clothes.” “No problem, thank you both very much!”“We’re glad we could help.”*** Dear Diary, As I write on this final page, I want to thank you for being a safe space fo

“What? Who said that? Please come forward, introduce yourself and tell us how you intend on removing the Odinbre,” the queen said, thinking it was a teeny-weeny pointed eared pixie that had spoken. Suddenly from behind the trees that stood behind the meeting point, three large vampires, Dana and her friends came out to meet the pixies. No one had noticed them standing there since, as everyone was in a panic situation over what was about to befall Pixieland. The crowd of pixies turned to see them as they came out from behind the trees. “Welcome,” the queen said. “I am glad that you are here. Please come forward, the enchanted forest has not had visitors in years. What group of mystical creatures do you belong, if I may ask?”“We are vampires,” Derick responded to her as they walked forward.“Oh, I see, then you will have no problem removing the tree, as I know very well that vampires are blessed with great strength and immortality. Thank you for offering to he
