Gillies' Compound "You've been awfully quiet ever." The man said to Raven who was drinking a sorrow which he didn't know existed away. The woman said nothing as she looked away from him. "Staying silent only makes me curious. You know that." Gillies probed further but Raven ignored him just like before. The man sighed and fell back on his chair. It has been like this for the past few weeks. Raven would go out for a few hours, then return only to drown herself in liquor. "Zelena Martinez is back, Caddel is back, Yoel is back. You know who else will be back?" Raven suddenly asked, drawing his attention to her. "Excuse me? They are back and I had no idea?" He asked in horror, the rate of his heartbeat tripling. Raven cast a conceding look at him. "You stay in New Jersey but you know practically nothing. Sometimes I wonder what you're good at other than taking care of your vampires."Her words were degrading but Gillies didn't care. He was way too horrified to find out three figure

What!I walked to the balcony quickly to see numerous dead bodies. I held my forehead in agony realizing all the people Gillies had sired had all died. I looked down at the person who had brought the bodies to see Raven staring up at me with a cold look in her eyes. "What have you done, Marcellus?" I mumbled, biting down on my lips. "Niece, I hope you can see what your mate has done. Gillies sired a lot of people. And now that he is dead, a lot of people died with him. Does that appeal to you?" She asked with a sneer and I frowned. However, I refrained from retorting when I felt someone's hand on my shoulder. "We will attend to this and meet an equal punishment to Marcellus." He said, staring down at Raven. "Mates become one. In that case, I request that Ashley should be punished as well." Raven replied instead and I narrowed my eyes coldly. "They are yet to mate. Frankly speaking, that shouldn't have anything to do with her." Cassie scoffed.Raven looked up at me and shrugged.

Willow stared at a transparent glass container which had a colourless liquid in it. Maverick walked out with a bag but stopped upon seeing her. "What is that?" "A little gift for Ashley Elsher." Willow replied, casting a smug look at him. "I know you're terribly upset at Ashley, but this is no time for jokes. This part of the world isn't safe. So we need to leave as fast as possible before things escalate." He said, trying to reach for the container but kept missing. "Relax, Maverick." Willow scoffed after moving to a place she knew he couldn't get to that easily. She kept staring at the bottle with a sinister smile, "My numerous plans fell through, I lost my life and reputation, I tried to be someone else hoping it'd make the man I thought was my father happy but it didn't. But do I look sad or bitter?"Maverick stared at her to see her darkened eyes. There was no doubt the girl wasn't feeling extremely murderous towards Ashley. Frankly speaking, it's in the nature of vampires to

"Put your hands up because I have both wolfsbane and vervain." They heard the man say again and bit down hard on their lips. Nevertheless, they did as he said. "Good, now turn around. One last look at your faces and I will kill you both." The man continued with a short laughter. Before they turned, he quickly added, "And don't do anything funny, this isn't the first time I'm doing something like this. Do you understand?" None of them answered and the man was so pissed off that he called out again, "Do you understand?" Ashley felt there was something wrong when he asked the second time, so she asked apprehensively, "Are we supposed to answer that?""Yes! And you better do before I hope your fu.cking brains off!" The man yelled out aggressively, totally catching the duo off-guard. If they didn't know better, they'd have thought the man hated them. What were they even saying. He had been sent to kill them. Only someone who hates them can accept to do what he's doing. "I understan

~Ashley~We got to a location where the compass Dagon gave us stopped spinning. I walked around the place a couple of times but it kept bringing me back to that exact location. "It seems we've arrived." Marcellus mumbled beside her. He reached into the bug briefcase he had been carrying around and dug out a shovel. "Move back a little, I'm about to start digging." Marcellus said and Ashley obliged. He dug for a while before he saw a coffin. Wiping the first off the lid, he glanced at her and asked, "Do you want me to open it or would you prefer to do it yourself?" "Whichever." Ashley replied and the man nodded slightly. He straightened up and walked to her."You can open it then. I don't want someone strangling me for disrupting her rest." He joked but she didn't find it funny. Nevertheless, she walked into the dug grave and pulled off the lead. What she saw was a lifeless body which looked a lot like her. "Move away from the casket!" A familiar voice snorted behind her and she
