It was a bright morning, with the sun just rising over the horizon. The palace courtyard was bustling with activity as gardeners tended to their plants and maids went about their duties. Guards stood in various positions around the palace, their stoic expressions resembling gargoyles frozen in place. A convoy of five cars drove in, stopping in front of the castle building in a line. The arrival of the cars hinted at the presence of someone of high status or power, possibly someone related to the royal family. Several men dressed in blue overalls emerged from the cars. While they appeared to be guards, their attire differed from that of the royal guards who wore black. Two of the guards approached the fourth car and opened the door. A girl with blonde hair stepped out, glaring at the guards. "What took you so long to open the door, you fools?!" she exclaimed, casting a disdainful gaze at each of them. "Sorry, Princess," one of the guards apologized, and they all bowed their heads, a

"Kill them all!" bellowed the commander, his eyes seething with fury.His soldiers nodded in compliance, ready to pull their triggers. However, just before they could execute the order, they were startled by screams and cries for help behind them. Turning around, they witnessed a horde of vampires taking advantage of their distraction, rushing towards them.Terror gripped the soldiers as they fired their weapons indiscriminately at the approaching vampires. Some struggled desperately to escape the confines of the cage while the vampires sunk their fangs into their necks, draining their lifeblood. Others fought for their survival, their lives hanging in the balance.The commander's horror was palpable as he caught fleeting glimpses of shadows darting in his peripheral vision while he engaged the vampires in front of him. Upon emptying his pistol, he discarded it to the side, realizing he had no other weapon at his disposal. Aghast, he surveyed his surroundings and was met with the shock

“Miss?” The police chief’s voice rang in her head, disrupting her thoughts. Avery shook her head, dismissing any thoughts of revealing her kidnap. She couldn’t believe she was already having thoughts of revealing the identity of someone who did nothing against her. Although she was upset that she was taken against her wishes, Avery knew better than to tread recklessly. She had no idea what the stranger was capable of and seeing that the mercenaries seemed to be working for him, who could say he probably did not have an army of trained vampires, working for him as well. One thing she was certain of, was the fact that he was a dangerous man and that the government was going to have a hard time finding him. Although, she could tell them who he was and give out a description of him, how certain was she that both she and her father would be safe and protected? “Huh?” She said at first, with a confused look on her face. “Uh, sorry, I wanted to thank you again. Thank you.” She said with a

It was bright and the birds were chirping happily. Avery woke up feeling tired as she had slept late last night. Her eyes snapped back shut as soon as it had opened. It suddenly felt too bright and her eyes had begun to hurt. Shielding them to avoid the bright sunlight, Avery threw the blanket from her and walked toward the window, closing the blinds. She slowly opened her teary eyes and walking back to bed, she suddenly stopped. “What—” her eyes widened as she stared at the clock at the top of the wall. It was already 8 o’clock and she was yet to prepare for work. She quickly grabbed a towel and dashed for the bathroom. It took her thirty minutes to prepare and she was fully dressed. She was soon running down the stairs, ignoring its creaking floorboards. She was going to get it fixed very soon, as she had remembered breaking one of the floorboards while running. She could see her father eating a box of cereal for breakfast. “Where are you going?” he asked and she rushed to give h

The members of the vampire councils, sat around a table as they stared at the mounted television screen, displaying the news. They watched keenly as the corpses and destroyed military structures came into view. Some of them had a look of displeasure on their faces as they heard what the reporter said while some like Lord Ericson, just stared nonchalantly, but deep down, they were equally furious. Soon, the news ended and the hall went quiet, with all the council members, staring at Lord Ericson, who seemed to be deep in thought. “This,” one of them, a female began. “This is bullshit! What does the human race think of us? We are not dogs!” She yelled as she banged her fist on the table so hard that it shook and even the castle seemed to vibrate from her sheer power. The only reason the table didn’t collapse was because it wasn’t made out of wood but a special type of rock. “Calm down lady Mira.” A male spoke as he glanced at her and then at the spot she had banged with her fist. He
