All Chapters of A Vampire's Mark : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

My school's exam week finally arrived, and as much I wanted to stay with Lucian and figure out this destiny thing. I had to show up for an exam, I just did not want these things to jeopardise the future I wanted to chase. “Hi Marie, have you submitted your assessment to principal Ral?” “No Aria, she said we are going to do that after her paper today.” “Oh, okay that's fine.” My friends joined in, as we all revised and prepared for the paper. Principal Ral had a reputation of being ‘strict’ or I like to say ‘wicked’. Her exams were hard and that not being enough for her, she marks our papers like she has beef with the students. The bell rang notifying every student to head for their exams in the designated venue. Our exams began, the atmosphere very intense, people sucking their teeth, biting their pens and trusting what made you think I was not part of them. “You have to score nothing less than eighty five or you fail this course.” Our heads raised on hearing the voice and behold

“Until you wipe away the whole Hunters only then shall you know peace, but till then we hunt you down.” “Oh shit!” Lucian spits as he stands immediately grinning his teeth. “How come they always find us?” I ask Lucian in murmur. A burning gaze on Hunters that he could not hear my question. “What do you want this time? Don't you have jobs?” Lucian questions. The lead hunter steps forward, a mischievous grin on her face. “You forget that hunting your kind is our?” she smirks. “Hunters attac—” “Wait! Wait, I will go with you. Just leave Aria alone please.” The Hunters pause considering his offer. “Fine. Tie him up, he comes with us." Before they come up to him, I turn his body to face me. “What are you doing Lucian? Have you lost it?” my voice in whispers. He stares at the floor, his expressions unreadable. “This is the only way Aria. You should be safe.” “Are you stupid? You well that these people are blood hungry and giving in yourself won't stop them from finding me.” “But

“Aunt, where are we headed to?” my heart pounding, not of fear that she might be taking me to danger, but of fear that I have no clue where we are. “Calm down Aria, I'm sure she has her reason for not talking now.” Lucian comforted from the front seat. Coincidentally or not, while aunt Lilian drove, our eyes met through the front mirror of the car and the way she gazed at me, I dared not ask questions till we arrived. “You lack patience Aria, and with you being a witch, you have to have a lot of patience.” Words finally escaping her mouth. “I'm sorry if I disturbed, I was just so curious.” “Curiosity kills.” she said, leading the way to whatever she wanted us to see. We stopped at an abandoned church and who thinks of building a church near the woods? Aunt Lilian walked down, going further into the woods and then she stopped. “What aunt? You can't remember the way to the place?” “This is the place Aria, you don't feel it?” I turn to look at Lucian then back to aunt. “Are you o

Hunter's POV “I invite you all to this meeting and hope that we make something out of it.” “Please tell us Sebastian, how do we stop this girl and her protector from our plan.” a member asked. I rose to my feet on my chair and looked at Nithara like I needed permission to speak, then I moved on. “You talk as if we know it all. If we did, why go through the hassle of hosting a meeting? We need all hands on deck.” “It's certain and we know that Aria is quite a very powerful being, and if I must say it seems difficult to stop her.” “How dare you let faith sink in your hearts? huh?” Nithara scolded in objection to the Hunter's words. Her eyes burning with anger and maybe a bit of fear. “I'm sorry Leader Nithara.” “We have tried in so many ways to bring Aria down or rather make her stop whatever she is doing but things seem not to be going our way.” I look over to Nithara again, waiting for her to say something or at least someone from the room to say something. I

The trees and flowers danced to the rhythm of the breeze as I stood outside the house admiring the beauty of the night, thinking of how I was going to open the book the prophet gave me. The door creaked open and as I turned, I saw Lucian. He looked somehow more handsome at night, maybe it was the vampire in him. His singlet clung to his body, tracing the lines of his abs, the strength in his arms, the hard plane of his chest. It felt deliberate, like he knew exactly the effect he was having. When our eyes met, heat crept up my neck, and I looked away, dropping my gaze to the floor. I turned slightly, tugging my pajama coat into place, trying to steady myself. “What are you doing out here alone by this time?” He looked at me. “Having a hard time?” “Who in my position would think of sleep?” “Well I would, I can't trade my sleep for a problem.” “Maybe you've never had a problem like mine.” “That's not true. What you are facing right now, was what I also went through.” His hands s
