Josiah knocked on the big, luxurious door. "May I come in Father?". He asked for permission."Come in Son". Fletcher said from inside.Josiah opened the door gently and entered. He took small steps, bowing his head down in respect.Fletcher held a handkerchief in his hand and was cleaning Ethan's ring with it. He looked up at Josiah and smiled."Come here". He said.Josiah moved slowly towards Fletcher and stood at a distance of three steps from him. "I transferred all of my powers to this ring.. these powers are all Ethan's now.. I will get more stronger when Ethan will wear this ring and use these powers". Fletcher placed the ring in a small box and handed it over to Josiah. "This ring won't slip out once he wears it"."There was something I wanted to talk about". Josiah said, putting the box in his breast pocket. "Convincing me to go to the jury?". Fletcher smirked."This is what Jaxon has been doing for 75 years". He continued. "Now he sent you! Afraid of the ridiculous arresting
The Next Day, in the early morning, Ethan was smoking a cigarette alone in the lawn. Jaxon spotted him from the window and ran outside."Hey pal". He greeted and wrapped his arm around Ethan's shoulder."Hey". Ethan replied coldly.Jaxon noticed the rudeness, he pulled himself back and looked at Ethan with worry. "Ethan? What is it?". He asked."I _". Ethan looked around and threw the cigarette away. "Jaxon! I'm so confused, I'm not at ease". He said and unbuttoned his shirt to let the air in. "Tell me, what happened?". Jaxon stroked his back. "Is it about Father?". Ethan shook his head. "I don't want to go back to the Vampire world". "hmm.. I see". Jaxon nodded and thought for a while. "Listen to me buddy, as soon as we get rid of that stupid case, we'll come back to Romania.. I promise". "It will take centuries!". Ethan exclaimed. "ahh! I wish I was never a Vampire.. I would've died till now, resting in my grave". "Stop it Ethan!". Jaxon put his palm on Ethan's mouth. "I PROMIS
It was half past eleven when Jaxon commanded Rosie to make them drink the elixir. Rosie warmed some milk and and poured it into the glasses, mixing up a teaspoon of the potion in each of them. "Great". Jaxon appreciated as he stood closer to Rosie in the kitchen, watching her perform the task. The Vampires had already said goodbye to the Group and pretended to be leaving, but they were hiding in the lawn, waiting till night when Rosie would give them the potion . "You're a good girl". He whispered in her ear.Rosie turned back. She wasn't happy at the comment. Instead, she had tears in her eyes. "I hope to see you people again one day"."Sure! As soon as we get rid of the jury, we'll come back". Jaxon replied."Not in America, over here"."Oh! Umm, let's think about it. You will always stay connected with us because of that necklace. We'll tell you to come to Romania when we come back, what do you think? Or maybe, YOUR DESTINY IS ROMANIA!". Jaxon smiled."What does that mean?" ."Not
''Pack up your bags Rosie. I'll not allow you to waste the time tomorrow morning. We have to leave for Romania''. William warned his sister as he sat on the bed with a book in his hand. He might be of 33. Blue-eyed, handsome, hard-faced and tall. ''I've already done it''. A pretty looking girl entered the room. She would of 22 years of age. Quite innocent looking, blue-eyed and golden haired. She was Rosie. William's younger sister. William lived in a small house along with his sister and daughter. Their parent died years ago. William's wife died too! She had gone to Miami to visit her elder brother when she met an accident and died at the spot. Rosie was very closely attached to her sister-in-law. She took Ava's and William's daughter's charge. ''Aren't you TOO much excited to go to Romania?''. Rosie put emphasis on 'too'. ''I mean we have visited Italy, France and even a country like Switzerland! You weren't so much eager before ever!''. She continued hanging a towel in the bathr
Asher stopped the car in front of a big, old house. "We're here". He sighed pushing the break.Michael peeked his head out. "This place is very far from the airport. It seems_ it's at the end of the city"."Damn right". Asher nodded."It's the west end of the city"."What? West end? Are you kidding me?". Michael was frightened."What do you mean?". Asher asked."Hoia-Baciu's close enough from here". Michael replied."So what?". Asher shrugged."Aren't you scared living here? This house is the last house of the street". Michael said."Living near a forest isn't scary Michael". Asher chuckled."There's a lot of difference between living near a forest and living near Hoia-Baciu". Michael said."Here we go again". William sighed and stepped out of the car as he felt that Michael is going to start a debate."There's no ghost living in Hoia-Baciu. It's all supernatural activities that make people afraid. Don't you worry.I've been living here for years. Nothing bad has ever happene
A whole week passed now. Not only Cluj-Napoca, the group discovered a couple of neighboring cities as well. Romania IS very beautiful. Not one can deny it!It was 8:00 in the morning when everyone woke up and waited for the breakfast. Asher and Ryan were at their own house. They had provided the group with everything which can make them feel at home.Rosie prepared the breakfast herself. The kitchen window was open, Asher too was preparing breakfast in his kitchen at his place.Alexa was playing outside near the road with her doll. "Alexa! Don't go near the road". Rosie shouted as she fried the eggs on the fry pan.Asher suddenly looked up at her and smiled. "A Monarch without a crown, I'm going to give you that crown Rosie". He conversed with himself."Hurry up everyone! Breakfast's ready". Rosie summoned everyone in the dining room.She set four dishes on the table..Michael entered."I'M ACTUALLY STARVING." He said before sitting at the table. William also came in."Goo
They were instructed to go to the commissioner's office by the police officer at the reception. Asher, William and Rosie went in. Due to his lack of English proficiency, Asher spoke to him in Romanian.(The following conversation is translated from Romanian to English for convenience. This conversation was only understood by Asher and the commissioner).As Asher was a famous cardiologist, everyone in the city knew him. The commissioner did too. He was delighted to see him."Hello Dr. Stewards! How can I assist you? ". Commissioner greeted Asher in a friendly manner.Without saying something irrelevant, Asher pointed at William. "He lost his daughter"."Where?". The commissioner asked while leaning forward."Somewhere close to Hoia-Baciu." Asher answered."Are you serious Doctor?" The commissioner was taken aback. "Let him know Hoia-Baciu is eerie. We can't take that risk"."But the girl disappeared NEAR Hoia-Baciu not IN". Asher spoke gravely."There is NO REASON for the girl'
Michael was sipping his coffee while standing on the balcony. The door was pounded by William and Rosie. "Come on in". Michael permitted and went into the room, placing the coffee cup on the table resting beside the bed. "Hey". Rosie grinned. "H-hi". Michael was perplexed to see them both. "Is everything okay?". He queried. "Y-yeah". William had a peek at Rosie. "Why do you think that way?". He spoke looking back at Michael "It's fairly late at night, that's why". Michael continued. "You may take a seat. "We knew you'll be up". Together with her brother, Rosie sat on the couch. "I couldn't fall asleep". Michael uttered. "Nobody is able to fall asleep. Even Ryan and Asher ". William lowered his head and cried. "I am solely to blame for this. I should have picked a different city ". He added. 'No, no, no' Michael gave a headshake. "Please don't put the blame on yourself. Everything that occurs,does so for the best. That is my opinion". "Yes, but you forewarned me before we arri
