What was he to say?Damien wondered what answer she was expecting. Would she even believe him if he told her the truth? What is the truth anyway?Hi, I am a vampire from another world and you are the only human who had seen me when I am in my invisible state? Damien doubted that she had fine that funny at all. She might promptly start the car and take him back to the station. For a different reason this time around.“Why are you gaping at me like that? I asked you a question. Would you prefer I tortured the answer out of you?” she asked sternly.Damien couldn’t help but think that she was different and that she might not torture him. But then he was not willing to find out. so he cleared his throat. And lied.“I have not been appearing to you,” he said quietly even as Helios sneered at him and muttered “Coward”“You dare lie to me?” she said so softly that he might not have heard her if his hearing was not super sensitive.“I…”“At the palace. You were there. Weren’t you?” she said h

Everything irritated her. Isabella was tempted to smash something. Lash out at somebody. The kitchen staff making clacking sounds with their utensils. The butler opening the door for one of the many officials that always have something to tell her father. The crinkling sound of her father’s morning newspaper as he turned it before shaking it out vigorously to smoothen it. “Just read the damn thing!” she almost snapped at him. Yet she knew that she couldn’t. What reason would she give for her behaviour anyway? Her mood was black that morning and her dad must have noticed as well because aside from asking her how her night went, he had barely said anything to her. Or it could be because he had said plenty the evening before when she got back. Isabella had gone for a fast ride to cool her head before heading to the palace. As a result, she was almost thirty minutes later than the two hours deadline he gave her. She met him on the front porch, with his eyes pinned on the massive gate as

“What the fuck is this?!” Ace’s booming voice resounded throughout the police station. Damien could hear rushing feet as officers came closer to where Ace stood, staring googly-eyed at Damien through the bars.“Is everything alright?” a female officer said as she came out from the inner office, giving Damien a fleeting look before she looked at Ace. “You fucking tell me! Tell me how he looked like that when yesterday night he was looking like shit!” Ace ranted as he flung his arms wildly almost knocking the female officer aside with his hand.The woman gave him a confused look before she looked over at Damien. Since she was not on duty the evening before when they brought Damien in and she had no idea what he looked like. She gave Damien a blank look before looking back at Ace. The look on the latter's face was not welcoming so she nodded behind him to one of the officers, who had seen Damien the night before. “Is everything…”“I swear if one more person asks me that dumb question a

She took him home. And by home, Damien realised she was taking him to the palace. “My patience is stretched thin and I am taking no chances this time around! She had said when she dismissed her driver and got into the car to drive herself while her entourage followed them behind. It was an impressive scene to behold indeed. Damien could see cars park aside as they passed. The car was different as well as she drove a rose-gold Rolls-Royce Boat Tail that blended well with her hair.The $28,000, 000 car was as much the centre of attraction as the gorgeous enviable lady driving it. Some of them barely noticed the dishevelled, unknown man beside her as their eyes were fixated on the darling of society, whom most of them have only seen once or twice before.Those that have never seen Isabella whispered and tapped themselves as they struggled to catch the barest glimpse of the most privileged and most affluent young lady in the whole of Santa Eyre and its environs.“Oh, my God! Is that the

Damien knew that there was no point in dragging this out anymore. He decide to just tell her whatever he knew without putting the New Clan vampires in trouble. What did she want from him, after all? He wondered, yet he knew that he was now in her debt. Originers pay their debts in full. Even though Damien was now picking up the habit of lying just as these people, gratefulness was an inherent part of the Originers that he couldn't do away with. She saved him twice, so he was ready to give her the truth. Whatever that was. It seemed like she could see his resolve to come clean because she merely nodded her head after giving him a long look.Then she said "Come and have your seat"Isabella led him to the loveseat closest to the door and Damien sank in the eye comfortable with a beautiful, patterned, cover."Would you like to have anything?" she asked him but he shook his head. He wouldn't care to ask for anything even though he had not eaten since the day before. He just wanted to get
