The streaks of wind hit her as she speed towards the location where the signal was sent. Her heart was pounding fast and loud. It was emotions she hasn't felt in a while, back when she still let herself to care about others. "Alice, where are you?" It was Carl’s voice from the ear piece. It was automatically connected to all members after someone sends the distress signal. She could hear engines from the background. The others are probably on their way too. Hopefully, they could still see Arianne alive. "I’m on my way." She avoided the question and sped up. If vampires get to her, then they must hurry. Alice bit her lower lip in anguish. She shouldn’t have gone this far if she knew that something like this would happen. Out of all days, why it has to be today that someone in her team needed help. She arrived at the location and everyone was already crowded at one side. Karina looked at her with worry in her eyes. She handed Alice Arianne’s phone, which remained on the page of the

The woman nodded, "Yes. Long story short, you did something dumb, and we did something dumber, and now we're here to save you. Just stay awake, okay? " She lifted her colleague up, and they struggled to continue walking towards the outside of the room, but a vampire blocked their way."Do you think we would just let you get away?!" Alice shot her again, but the vampire easily dodged the attack.She let Arianne sit on the bed and took out her dagger. She was already out of bullets, but she wouldn’t go down without a fight."Run..." Arianne mumbled while trying hard to keep herself awake. It made her more dizzy, but it was the least of her concerns right now.Alice clicked her tongue as a response, "And what, leave you here? Not going to happen."The vampire laughed at her blind acts of bravery. Alice wasn’t fazed by the vampire’s taunt. She took out another knife placed on her strap and aimed perfectly at the chest of the vampire, only that the man caught the knife."Do you really thin

She didn’t answer and went straight to the elevator, which, fortunately, had no one inside because she wasn’t in the mood for more people asking her. Clarisse’s secretary welcomed her with a surprised face."I know she isn’t here yet. Don’t worry, I could wait. " She answered with a straight face and sat on one side while Black Lotus’ secretary was still wondering how she was able to casually walk around like nothing happened.It didn’t take long before the secretary received a call and was told that Black Lotus was already on her way to her office. The door opened after a few minutes, revealing the stressed head of the organization. Alice smiled widely, obviously to tease her further."Welcome back. How was the trip? " She continued her act. If there was one entertainment she had, that was to annoy Clarisse ever since she learned that her mentor lied to her.Black Lotus glared at her, "I was merely gone for a day and a half and you have already marched into a hell hole? What happened

Clarisse didn’t stop gathering information about the vampire Elijah ever since she discovered his existence about a year ago. Elijah was the oldest vampire she had ever encountered, and the mere thought of Alice wanting to go against that vampire on her own terrifies her.She would never let anyone under her care go against a pureblood. That was her promise to herself, and she had no intention of breaking it any time soon."But how would I be able to save her from that monster?" Clarisse asked herself in agony. She has never been attached to anyone like she was attached to Alice. Aside from being one of her first proteges, Alice also had the same fire she had when she was still younger. And just like her, she was condemned by the world for being different.Clarisse never sees herself as a good person despite what she does is considered giving the world of humans a favor even if not everyone deserved it.But ever since she met Alice, her view of herself has changed. For once, she did

Alice stopped her motorcycle after reaching an alley, knowing that she was being followed.She removed her helmet and pointed a gun on the man that has been following her since earlier. The man also got out of his motorcycle and raised his hands in efforts of making sure that Alice wouldn’t shoot him."I’m not an enemy." He declared after removing his helmet. The man was twice as tall as her body frame, but it didn’t faze Alice. She knew that he was a human, and if she could knock down a vampire, she could certainly do the same with a human.Although she was relieved that her hunch was wrong and it wasn’t a vampire that was following her.Alice didn’t let her guard down, "You’re not exactly a friend either. Identify yourself, or I might shoot." She knows the rules of the organization. They weren’t allowed to kill a human, but if he tried anything funny then she wouldn’t hesitate for even a second. Her life was already threatened by a pureblood vampire out of spite of those roots a hun
