"Sir, there's a problem." The governor's guard said after he was permitted to speak. He was already sweating. How was he going to tell the governor this?Today has to be the most unfortunate day in his entire life. Of all the days in the world, it was when he was on duty that something like this came up. "What's it?" The governor asked, whirling his chair to face who was speaking. The guard didn't say anything yet. He was still trying to find his voice. "What's it?" The question clanged another bell in the guard's head."It's your daughter, sir," he stuttered, keeping his eyes on the floor.He has witnessed the governor plug out someone's eyes days ago. He was not ready to face the same fate."Speak," the governor clenched his hand into a fist and slammed them on his table."She was … she's… she has been shot by the hunters… And the doctor… has been unable to get the bullet out of her," the guard stammered, but he still kept his eyes on the floor."What do you mean by that? Is this a

"Samuel," the governor's voice echoed through the whole room. "I want you to tell me how this happened to my daughter when you were there.""Sir," Samuel began, "I had no intentions of taking her there, she followed me and there was nothing I could do about it. Forgive me, sir," he bowed his head.He, unlike the others, knew that Anita was not going to make it. It was just a matter of time before she died. He was sure, the governor knew this too.So to buy himself a chance for survival he needed to provide the governor with something very important that would make the governor change his mind. Because the moment Anita died, he was next."I had gone there to kill the hunters first before I come to you. I have gotten news about a witch who would be the end of our kind," Samuel rolled his eyes. He was not happy that he had no other option than to spill his secret key to making history.The statement he had just made has changed the whole thing.Now, whether he was the one who stopped t

"You'll be the one to train her. The girl hates me a lot." Ellie answered as she blinked her eyes, hoping that the queen would not prolong the issue and just accept to train Lorraine alone."Why does she hate you?" The queen queried despite knowing exactly what the reasons were."You don't need to ask, you know the reasons. She thinks I've wronged her for all the secrets I've kept from her." Ellie stated, heaving a low sigh. She still hasn't seen anything wrong with what she had done."Think?" A chuckle escaped the queen's lips.But Ellie didn't find it funny.Ellie felt if she had not done exactly as she had, she was sure Lorraine would have been long-dead by now. Williams would have found her and he would either kill her or take her as a prisoner.None of the two options sounded better than what she had done."You should talk to her. She's a teenager and they expect explanations for things. You owe her an explanation for everything, Ellie. It was and it still is her life that's on t

Samuel shot him a glare that said he was not going to take that as an answer. "I don't think you understand what I'm asking from you, Guano. I want you… to tell me where I can find the hunter." He reiterated his demand, his eyes beginning to redden.The changing of Samuel's eye colour did close to no effect on the mayor who now felt he was not completely weak against vampires.It was rare for anyone to call the mayor by his name. He never even knew that Samuel was his name until now.The level of trust the mayor had in these guns David gave him was immeasurably high. For something he hasn't tested himself, he realised he was letting his confidence lead him astray.However there was a war coming and he has chosen his side, it was with David. Anita was alibi that there was a chance for David to take out Samuel and that was the only thing the mayor wanted.The mayor would have instantly brought out his gun and put a bullet into Samuel but if he did that, where was he going to get the twe

David unfurled another bottle of beer and began to drink it. He was already drunk to a stupor. He could barely sit up straight.The images of what happened that night crashed into his head. He felt guilty about everything that happened. It should have been him and not James.It was him Samuel wanted to stab with the iron, but James got in the way. Deep down, he knew it would be very hard for James to survive. The iron had gone deep into his organs."Why?" He slammed his hands on the counter. And everyone in the bar turned their eyes to him. The barman turned and saw the shreds of bottles scattered all over his counter. "I think you've had enough. You should be going." The barman should have asked David to leave since, but he was making a lot of profit off the drinks, so it would be a great loss to him."You'll not tell me what to do," David yelled, almost falling off the chair. Then he stretched his hand and demanded another bottle."Young man, you need to leave." The barman said calm
