Clarisse felt deafened by what she heard, "You did what? Are you out of your mind?" She asked, but Alice simply shrugged. "Do you really want me to answer that question? My answer will be phenomenal." Alice threw the question back with sarcasm. She has nothing but her dark humor, might as well use it to annoy someone. Black Lotus stared at Alice for a moment, wondering if this was Alice's coping mechanism and considering sending her to a therapist, but she doesn't think any professionals could help her. Alice didn't budge, and she was the first one to avert her gaze. She heaved a sigh. She was too old for this... or maybe it was Alice that was prompting her fast aging. Many have already said that she looks older than her actual age. "Nevermind that. What happened when we couldn't contact you?" She asked instead, hoping that she'd get a decent answer. Clarisse will still drag Alice to the doctor later, but she has to know what happened last night first. She knew that Alice wouldn'

The pureblood casually walked away after turning another human and leaving them in a place where they could hide from the sun. It was the only effort he would exert for them. Whether they survive or not isn’t his responsibility. If the human couldn’t even survive turning and being on their own for a week or so, then they weren’t worth his time. He needed someone who was resilient and could be used to fight. Vampires naturally have instincts to fight because they are drawn to blood. A few trainng after he sees that they are worth investing some time in, and they are already good as useful. There was barely anyone who survived, thanks to the hunters, but he has all the time in the world, as there is no shortage of humans to turn into vampires. He refuses to help anyone either. If they can't survive humans, then they're not useful for him at all. "That vampire would have been a good addition to my army…" He clicked his tongue in disappointment, thinking that he shouldn't have waited for

No one complained when Hannah had killed him after she couldn’t take his father’s actions and attitude any longer. She rose to leadership after she married her lover, and they both assumed the position. Everyone simply followed suit. At most, everyone was relieved that the man was finally dead and that he was replaced by more logical people. "I should have gone that time instead of you." She was talking about when Ethel was sent to find Elijah and present herself as an offering. It should have been Hannah at first, but Ethel knew her sister’s relationship with their cousin. She had no choice but to follow their father’s order, but Ethel stepped up and volunteered herself to be the offering to the unknown pureblood. Both Hannah and Ian were the candidates for leadership, but Hannah’s father was made nothing but greedy. Her father knew about their relationship and knew what would happen to him if he let go of his position. He held on to his position despite people’s opposition. It was

Allen was hoping that an adult would notice Heather and ask her where her parents were. They would definitely realize what was happening and bring her back home. That will be the easy way out for him, but there wasn’t any adults around and the children were starting to leave as well. She started walking around again, obviously already lost to where she was supposed to go. The child ended up going to the night market that some of the stalls happened to open early. There seems to be an event in the area. He heard the child’s stomach grumble while walking around and seeing all the food stalls. The smell of human food doesn't affect him, but it must be so tempting for a small child who barely ate anything before she decided to ran away from home. Heather went to the side and rummaged her bag. She counted the coins she had in her purse and whimpered like a lost puppy. “Is this why mama told me to learn how to save up? I shouldn't have bought that keychain.” She was close to tears once ag

They say that death changes people. Alice is surrounded by death, and she is quite used to it. What she never expected was that there would be more pain than she already felt. It was suffocating, and everything felt so different. Her world was already on the verge of collapsing, and this was the last straw for her. Alice really thought that she would feel empty, but she had bursts of emotions that she also thought were long buried in her heart. She got out, just running away from that place because she couldn’t take it anymore, like the coward she was. Clarisse caught her fist, which should have landed on the wall. Her hand was already bruised from pulling the same stunt last time. She might break her bones if she does it again. Alice was trying to take her hand away from Clarisse, but she barely had energy to stand. "Hurting yourself isn’t the answer, Alice." Clarisse followed Alice after she left the funeral parlor. The woman was staggering as she went out after crying for two ho
