"You guys should stop," I said. "You will have to go through me before taking him away and you know what that means? Yes." I nodded. "Both of you don't stand a chance with me," I said as I used my claw to catch Daniel's palm a little and sucked on it. It had been two years since I last fed on blood and the first person I fed on was my lover. "Inez no!" Beauty yelled. "Not him." She said. Olivia looked at her. "Why not?" She asked beauty. "According to the prophecy, taking his blood would unleash the power that was sealed in her." Beauty educated. "Does that mean she won't forgive anyone that comes her way?" She asked and Beauty nodded. "I want to fight her," Olivia said as she approached me. I gasped as I felt his blood go through me. I couldn't turn him. I didn't bite him so he couldn't turn. I stood straight and smirked. I could feel the power I possessed coming into me. I gasped again. Everything felt like heaven. I could control minds and make you do what I want. Control you
"The witches are powerful. I can sense it. I would need you to defend the boy." He said. "They won't give him up so easily. I once heard__they thought the boy was a calamity but he saved them in the shadow world. How could they not be grateful for him?" He looked at the witches but he understood they were just here to complete their missions and that is, to take Daniel away from me. I didn't want that. I wanted him alive. I wanted him to still remember me. To remember Inez Sivan. The girl he saved when she needed him the most. After a while of the fight, the witches were too powerful to back down either. It was as if they wouldn't leave if they didn't complete their mission. Riley had protected Daniel too and had taken him away from the witches. My powers were starting to go out of control again. I was about to break the chain. I was about to go and fight. The blood within me wanted to fight. I was struggling with the chain. Couldn't break them but was still trying to. I used my te
I stood up and took Daniel's hand. "We have to go back to school," I said. "But it is Saturday." He said. "I have to go and look for something there but I will take you home after I am done," I said and he stood up. I shook my head at Theo begging him not to say anything else. The moment we got outside of the building, the building was still there until after we left. I was grateful it didn't vanish right in Daniel's eyes. I went back to school to look for more information about Olivia and the dean. I snuck into the dean's office and asked Daniel to look out for me. I had the perfect explanation to tell him when I drop him at his home. I entered the room and it smelled familiar. The same smell when we went into that church building. Of course, I saw him there and he also saw me. I walked inside with my gloves on. I picked up the portrait that was seated at his table and looked at it. It was his family. Beauty and Linda were both there. They smiled so happily. How could they smile
"Whoa. That is insane. Are you telling me that people die for people? Is that even true?" He asked and I nodded. He doesn't remember he was the one who died for me but I will always be grateful for what he did for me. "What happened to the girl afterward? What did she do?" He asked.I sighed. "She became the queen of the shadow world. The human boy saved everyone." I said.He seemed confused. "But how is that possible? How did she become the queen? Were there no other people next to the throne after king Cain?" "Well, King Cain had two daughters. Twins. Identical twins, and the young girl was one of them.""Ohh. I get it now. That is why he wanted the chosen one so badly but what happened to her sister?" He asked. Curious, I was ready to tell him about the sun. "She died. Sun hated the moon so bad and their father poisoned her mind against her twin sister. After she found out about who her father was, she tried to fight with him but he killed her and Moon lost her sister." The tears
She stood from the flood and dusted her jeans. "This place is far." She replied as she sat on the bed. "Is everything all right there Inez?" I heard what Daniel say and I shouted back to him and told him everything was fine. I went to the door and closed the door behind it. "Where is it? You caused all this Riley. I told you not to feed me earlier. I know I can't resist blood once I sip it." I bagged and she opened the bag she carried and placed her hands inside. She removed three pants of blood and handed them to me to drink. I couldn't think about anything else. I just wanted to feed. I placed it in my mouth and one go, I finished a pant. I went in for the second one and drank it. I sighed as I sat on the bed with her. "Thank you," I said and she nodded. "So what is this mission you wanted to go for? I didn't tell Theo and Ethan you had a mission because they wouldn't approve and it would be boring if we don't go. So tell me what is it?" She asked and I told her about breaking in
"Hope it is not making you want to feed?" Riley asked me. "I can control myself, Riley. I am the Queen of Bloodsuckers and still the chosen one." "You love to brag don't you?" She asked and I laughed. We walked for a while and entered another route. "Do you still have eyes on him?" Riley asked and I nodded as we walked side by side. The man suspected someone was following him and immediately, we took cover before he saw us.Riley pointed. "Look Inez, he is heading towards that cave." She said. She stayed under the cover as we watched the man standing in front of the cave. He looked at both sides to see if anyone was coming and when no one appeared, he entered the cave. Riley and I moved forward. We reached the cave and stood in front of it. Riley's story was correct. What she said about them feeding a monster might be correct too. She placed her hand on the stone. "We can't open it. I bet he used some type of spell for this." Riley said and I agreed with her."It's no use, Riley.
"That makes sense, Inez. They might be planning that so you need to show up." He said. "What? I thought you didn't want me to risk anything." I said and he nodded."Nothing can happen to you when you are in the council region. No one can harm you." "And how would you know that? You are not there. Besides, they want Daniel dead and they know I won't let that happen. Look, Theo, I think it is best I don't show up uninvited. That is very rude." I said and he nodded. He agreed with me but he still wanted me to go to the party. I would love to see the elder's face. Linda would also be there. I'd bet she and the elder have become so close over the years. "I will go." I changed my mind immediately. "But while I am gone, please look after Chase. I mean, Daniel. Please look after him for me. It might also be a trap to get him too." "I will. You can go over to Riley, she would pick a dress for you." Theo said as he threw his car key to me. So much for wanting to sleep. But what would I tell
The council region might have invited non-day lighters. I took a deep breath before entering through the front door. I have never been to a party being held by powerful people before. I didn't get to do the coronation because I was sad about Chase and my sister's death. I could see how many they were inside the large hall. People drinking drops of blood and rubbing their bodies against one another, while some were drinking wine. I sighted Lydia as she was talking to the Council head. I haven't seen him in a year now. He hasn't changed a bit. He still had that scary face. I bet Lydia didn't know what her husband was up to. She looked so clueless and painted me as the bad one? Bullshit! Her husband was the bad one. Her husband would be the reason the world would end with the things he was up to. "Did the council invite Inez Sivan?" I heard Beauty whisper to her mother. Her mother met my gaze. She was shocked to see me. I smirked as I took my time to get to them. "Greetings to you Cou
Ava was taken aback when she learned of my pregnancy and has remained by my side ever since. I haven't been able to return to the shadow world since Astrid was brought to this world and Chase's family had returned to NYC. That's what his mother said, at least. I was unable to inform my parents or Denise about Astrid's absence. Except for the council and my friends, no one knows my daughter has gone missing. "Are you going to get a cake today?" Chase inquired, his arms still wrapped around my shoulder. With tears in my eyes, I glanced up at him. "Today is a good day to make a wish. I have a feeling things will be different this time." He grinned, attempting to make me smile as well, but I'll be honest, it was difficult to return to being joyful or smiling. "No cake today," I murmured, my voice sluggish. "Why? I am fully supportive of all you do."I nodded. "I know." I rose up after releasing myself from him. I showed him the hair tie by opening my hands to him. "Her fragrance is fa
"You left NYC." "Ah. It brought us memories we didn't want to remember," she said. "About that. There is something you need to know. You should have your seat for this." She obeyed and sat down. "What is it dear?" she asked. "Come inside," I said. As Chase entered the house. His mother was shocked to see who it was. She didn't expect someone that looked like her son to suddenly show up. She gasped as she stood up. "What type of prank is this?" she asked. "It is not a prank. It is your son." "How is that possible? I watched him being buried. We all watched him be buried." she said. "Are you sure you looked at what was inside the coffin before he got buried?" I asked. She stopped talking as she glanced at Chase. Too scared to walk toward him and touch him. I could feel how she felt. How did her dead son suddenly come to life? She felt scared. As if it was a dream. As if, if she touched him, he would vanish. "What happened?" she asked. "I want to know everything." I glanced at
Alex paused in his attack, giving me a moment to back up, but he never took his cold eyes off me. "We can talk about this." I said. There was a questionable tone in her voice. "You won't leave the throne. Would you? Chosen one?""I can't believe you!" I yelled at him. "Why do you want this throne so much? Do you want to live forever just like my father tried to do? it never works out." What do you know? You won't understand what it feels like to own the world. To have the world now to your feet. To control the world to do what you want." He groaned. Held my head hard against the tree.I could see blood dripping from my head."Well, i know how hard it is to have the world as you responsibility." I hoped I could stall him with talking, just like in the movies. I also hoped my words would hide how utterly and completely terrified I was. "Do you understand? Don't do this. It is not worth it. All these humans won't be grateful to you. No matter what you do for them.""I shall have the th
The powers Beauty and Cleo used on them had no effect. They were strong enough. They brought the barrier and the Kanimas surrounded me. They opened their mouth to rows of sharp teeth. My power raged. Holding it down was like trying to stop a tornado with my hands. Different shadows rose around my fire. The dark power merged with mine. I lifted my hands after I was finally able to control the powers. I lifted my hand. My power felt lighter. I shoved my palms forward. My power burn through the charging creatures. I closed my palm. The red wave pulled back before it burned through the tree. A few Kanima melted into the ground, avoiding my attacks. I felt them behind me. Turning, I swing my palm in their direction. The black power came to me again. I shove my hands forward. Black and red flames reached toward the monsters. They were all on the floor. Burned. I didn't need the mountain ash to fight them all. My new powers were enough. I exhaled. "What the fuck happened?" Cleo walked
"Have you seen Theo this evening?" Ethan asked but Riley knew where Theo was but she mustn't say a word about it or Ethan will take the whole community what Inez and she had done. She was avoiding problems. "What do you mean?" she asked. "Theo? I thought he said we will attack the day of the full moon? This is just the 30th." he said. Riley nodded. "I remember now. Theo put me in charge of things here.""Why would he do that? Why not put me? Why you?" he asked. Frowning. "Why? Because I am a girl?" "I didn't say that." "Well, the way you spoke was clear enough. Theo is out of town. He said he had important things to do and he will be back tomorrow." "But this is important," Ethan said. Riley rolled her eyes. "That is why he put me in charge Ethan. He said I should lead the battle and I must do it today.""But?" "No buts. Just get ready for battle. Please distribute the weapons." Riley patted his shoulder and walked away. Ethan picked up his phone to call Theo but it was reac
I parted my lips and could feel the potion go into his mouth. To him, he would feel something sweet and would want more. He kissed me with so much passion but I wanted it to stop. When I felt the potion finally finished in me and already inside him, I stepped back from him. I exhaled. He opened his eyes. Thinking he did something wrong. I shook my head and walked back to my bed. Any moment from now, he would fall asleep for two days latest. I looked at him. "Come and seat down." I offered and he came to me and sat next to me. I continued watching my Netflix as I glanced at him every few seconds to see if the drugs was taking effect. Not until 30 minutes before he started to react. His eyes were closing deliberately. "Are you all right?" I asked. Pretending. He placed his hand on his head. "Is it hot in here?" he asked. Was he suppose to feel that way? I don't think so. Beauty didn't tell me there was side effects. "I need water." he said. I couldn't give him water. What if the p
I sighed as we sat down. "Chase!" I called. "Please do not ask me this again. It is difficult for me to see you want to get involved with this fight." "I am only trying to protect you," he said."I do not need protection!" I yelled at him. "I just want you to not get involved. Please listen to me." my tone became cooler. "You need my blood, Inez. I noticed how powerful you become whenever you feed on me. Please let me do this. Even if I can't fight those things, I can at least be your toy on the battlefield." he begged but I didn't want him in it. it was too dangerous for him to be there. We were dealing with the warlock here. My father's brother. He would get killed again. They will come after someone I love too but he was not getting it. He felt I was trying to keep him off because he wasn't powerful enough. Now I wondered why both the two brothers want to take my life from me. Things weren't making sense. Just like Corner said... It sucks to be special sometimes. "Can we talk ab
"She will. We have to rescue her." "You mean to kidnap her? Her father won't stand still and not do anything." I said. "I feel pity for her. I mean her only destination is him and school. She isn't even allowed to come to the dorm for now." I waved when she walks out with Cleo by her side. She had that frown on her face. "I know baby." I hugged her. "I guess I will have to leave now. I just hate this life. I mean. I don't want to miss the gist and die of boredom in that house and my father always has someone watch around the house in case I want to run away. I just can't wait to leave that house and get some fresh air to myself." she groaned when she heard her father call. "I'm coming!" she yelled as she walked in his direction. I could feel how angry she was. "Poor girl." I shook my head. Ava and hereafter seemed to be arguing before she entered the car and I watched him drive off. "Let's go girls." Cleo handed me her car key. She said she was feeling sick because of the exam.
I was flattered. "So it is settled, you take Olivia to the hunters to take care of her until after the war then I will find ways to return her memories." "But what about her exams?" Beauty asked. "We will use magic for that. Leave that to us Inez and take Olivia after your exam tomorrow." I couldn't argue anymore. She won. I couldn't let Olivia stay with me even though she looked like an innocent little child. She could be dangerous and I don't know anything about her too. Taking her to the hunters was a good decision and I still have something to tell Riley. I would ask her why she didn't show up when I called the night Cleo and I made the potion. Cleo stood up. "I will get going now.""What? Where would she stay for the night?" I asked as I pointed toward Olivia who was still licking the sweet Beauty gave her. The sweet kept on popping up and doesn't want to finish. "You said she could stay in the laundry room earlier," Cleo said. "That was before she looked cute. I can't do
