"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
"What?" She asked. She had that surprised, shocking look on her face. "You mean, you spent the weekend with your crush? How lucky are you?" She asked. Well, I wished I was lucky. He was my crush but I couldn't do anything with him. I have been keeping my sexual urge to myself. I heaved a sigh. "What's wrong? You should be happy Inez. Not all girls get to be as lucky as you are." She said. Teasing me. If only she knew how Ally reacted when she saw me in his house. "What about Ally? Is he still in love with her or does he like you now?" She asked. She kept on throwing questions at me. "I don't know Ava. His behavior was the same as before. He didn't give me any special treatment, just the normal one." I said. I didn't want her to know he even remembered my best food since high school. I didn't want to remind her that he was Chase Parker. The lover I thought I lost in the past. "Stay away from Beauty," I said immediately. "Don't give me that look. You would be shocked to know what she
