"Newspaper! Newspaper everyone." A voice resonated around the busy place in a newly founded city, around ten years from what he could remember. It was long enough for humans, but it was a fleeting moment for creatures like him. He’s been staying in the city for almost five years. It hasn’t been long since he had stayed in one place for this long. He was often stayed for two to three years, but Elijah must admit that he enjoyed the peace the city had to offer.He was a witness when the city was just starting. That time, he was still trying to find a place to settle for a moment. The peacefulness of the place drew Elijah in... until pureblood families began bugging him. He had several visits, but all of what they offered or threatened to do was rejected or ignored.Elijah approached the teenager quietly and purchased a newspaper to see how humans were dealing with vampires in the area."Thank you, good gentleman. Have a nice day!" The newspaper boy smiled gleefully and went on to offer

He was woken up by the thick scent of human blood. Falling asleep was merely an act of pleasure and wasn’t really needed by his body. However, it was a very human thing to do. And so he gave his body a rest. He closes his eyes and surrenders to the darkness. It was never like sleeping, which humans do, at least from what his body barely remembers from when he was still a human, but he does it anyway.Elijah’s senses started sharpening. He hasn’t fed for days, and the blood just wafting dangerously in the air is making his mouth water. He hissed, and even though he didn’t want to, his whole body did the opposite. Elijah's hands trembled, not from fear but from the thrill that his body naturally feels whenever it wants to hunt for blood.He went out and saw dead bodies right outside his house. There was no screaming or people asking for help. There were just vampires running around the place and killing everyone in plain sight."Lady Ethel ordered us to kill each one of the humans here

He was an aspiring writer, a man who was slowly making a name for himself when everyone chose not to believe in him. His work doesn’t seem to fit the norm. When everyone was seeking love through poems and novels, he was writing about fantastical worlds of the unknown. Most people around him that had read his work believes that it fits as tales told to children.Van doesn’t really mind, but he begged to disagree that it was only for children. A world different from theirs doesn’t mean that it was for children. As so he still believes that there is much more to the world.. A whole new world that humans don’t know about, creatures that may or may not look like normal humans but surely interact with humans.After all, such tales should have come from somewhere? Right?"Greetings." Van beamed as the person opened the door. He took out two of the books he was selling, one of his work and the other one he had been commissioned to sell."I was hoping I could interest you with the books I’m s

"He bit me, and I really thought that it was my end. But then I awoke with no wounds on my neck, and he even took the time to clean up, Oh, and I believe he stole a book from me. The one I used to hit his head while he tried to bite me. And that's the reason why I’m staying here." Clarisse couldn’t answer or properly react. The pureblood’s actions kept on surprising her.He is so unpredictable!Alice’s sarcastic expression turned into a defeated look."I was really thinking of running away, just like what you planned. Maybe it would give me more time to stay alive and to find a way to stop this unending cycle of rebirth and death." She paused and smiled, "But I know his pattern. Once he found me, he could already know where I am, no matter where I go. He easily caught up to me in the past, and it he is now a flight away from me. If I ran, I’d have to run forever. I can’t, I just can’t do that again." She was starting to remember more lives that she had had in the past, but it was all

"Fine. I will gather some men to search the forest. But still think it was a wolf that tried attacking you. You’re lucky you managed to survive."Van’s eyes widened. He remembered that man saying that he was lucky because it wasn’t his time yet.True to the hunter’s word, he gathered men, and they quickly searched in the whole forest while Van stayed in one of the hunter’s houses."Here, eat some soup to warm your body up. You’re pale as a ghost." It was the wife of the hunter who found him. She put down a tray containing a bowl of soup and a slice of bread and two eggs. He gladly accepted the food as he could already hear his stomach rumbling since earlier.Van gave her a warm smile, "Thank you so much." he said before devouring his food.The woman’s eyes widened, "Slow down, it’s hot."Van felt the heat in his mouth but still smiled and swallowed the food, "It’s very delicious. Thank you for the food." He forced to speak and maintain his smile. He was really grateful for the hospita
