THURSDAYWe all just looked at each other, exchanging gazes periodically. It lasted for a few silent minutes."Wait—what in hell is going on?!" The tyrant yelled angrily."You were about to drop the bomb on 'em sir," one of his minions said, that one I had been previously locked in with in a staring match, which I apparently won because he had lost concentration and looked away at the voice of his boss."Oh, yeah..." he said, faking sudden remembrance. Dallas was ironic, it was made him seemed less like a threat and more like a pathetic person that was just trying too hard to make an impression or prove a point."Should I tell him Jereum? Or you'd rather shut me up?""Yeah, sure tell 'em... It's not like you all don't know it," Jereum said, shrugging and looking nonchalant.I saw the shock and bewilderment in the tyrant’s eyes. But I could also see, right behind the mask of I-don't-give-a-damn that was pasted tightly on Je

JEREUMS'S P.O.V.The clouds up above were clearing from the moon. Its light shun upon my brothers scared face. I took what he said into consideration, it was indeed true that none of my colleagues had ever fallen. We were the best of the best and had slayed over a hundred if these creatures over the past two years of our tenure in service for the church.I had never seen Syberus this scared before, and there was a point to his argument. We heard gun fire and then another. I turned sharply and looked at the building. I need to help them, who knows how many may be in there."We need to help them—I need to help them," I said, "stay here, and if I don't come back in ten minutes, alert the reinforcements from the church."I didn't even give him a chance to argue, I took one last look at his face and then I ran off towards the building. I had to look brave, bold, and strong, it was the only way he'd have hope and the courage he needed. If a leader showed

FRIDAYWe got back home, my training session with Jereum yesterday ended up turning into a full on clan fight. Leya had stayed behind to get more seeds and plants for her little garden while the rest of us departed. I was still flooded with the feel and emotional I had felt while I was in Jereum's memories.His story was one filled with great contradiction and bends all over. Sure he had killed the Supreme that killed his parents but in that being impurified, and even begging to be killed rather than to live as a vampire. The hate I felt for my kind when I was in his life was enough to burn me up from the inside.He had actually hated vampires with so much of himself, he would have rather died by the sword than live as one. As for his relationship with Tia, it was now becoming clear to me that she was not a direct cousin to him, rather more like a descended one. She was the only family he could be with without posing a threat to her life, and that was probably t

SATURDAYWhen I got back home it was already the break of a new day. I stayed in the parlour and as far away from Dawn as possible. I felt a rising hatred myself that was overcoming me. It was my fault she got hurt the first and instead of me to protect her I let her down. How was I sure I could still keep her safe, even now. And Leya, I had almost blurted out Dawn's name at the time that Lupine was counting me down. I had betrayed her whether she knew it or not. But there was nothing I could do, it was either Leya or Dawn and I chose Dawn. So what is the black wolf wasn't there? Then what could have happened.Over the next few days I stayed at home Dawn got better quickly.Jhan had agreed to keep Dawn a secret from the higher court, Jereum did whatever Jhan did so I guess got lucky at that. Tia on the other hand was just all round sympathetic. She was in support of my relationship with Dawn but at the same time she felt bad. I could see the pitiful

SAME DAYI spent the rest of the day with Dawn. She ate happily and cheerily. Talking about things that happened to her in her high school and recounting events to me that I could not even understand. Evening fell and Leya came in with a small bowl containing a weird liquid. She carefully dabbed the liquid on Dawn's face with a cloth and I wondered what the medicine could be made of that made it such a wound healer. I had asked Leya what it was at the time that she was still tending to Jereum's wounds, but she only smiled at me sheepishly and since then I had been too creeped out to ask her again.Dawn winced as Leya brought the cloth to the slit at the corner of her lips. She tightened her locked fingers with mine and I looked at her reassuringly.Leya finished."Thank you Leya," Dawn said. I had told Dawn her name earlier when Leya had brought in her dinner.Jhan was doing a good job to keep her parents fooled. He said he'll knock on their door i
