“I have powers too”Damien wondered why it had been too difficult for him to tell her what he was. For all his newfound confidence and boldness, he still couldn’t boldly tell her that he was a vampire. He doubted if she even had any idea of what the word meant.She was silent for a while after he said what he said and he expected that she would lash out at him so but she merely stood up wearily and told him that she was going to bed.Damien was so surprised that he said “What about…” He grew silent though as he thought of the fact that she was giving him an easy way to back out and here he was about to throw away her offer again.“What about what?” she looked back at him and asked when he didn’t say anything again.“Oh, never mind,” he said quickly. “Go ahead and have a good sleep. I am sure that you would be better by tomorrow” She gave him an undecipherable look before heading towards the door. Damien quickly ran forward to open the door for her. Without a word, she went out and Da
Damien was dumbfounded as he watched her dash away after her outburst. A trait that was very unlike the girl that always seemed so cool, calm, and collected. He had forgotten the Airpod in his hands as he looked towards the direction that she dashed away through. He had no idea what he had done but then it seemed like it was serious. He had seen a sheen of tears in those tawny eyes of hers after all.He was still pondering what he did when Sky came back. “Oh, those kids wouldn’t leave me be unless I do what they want. So annoying but cute in a way as well” he said with a grin as he jostled Damien with his arms. “Do you know that two of them were not-so-subtly hitting on me? Ah, yes. So cute” he said with a feigned shudder before he bursted into laughter again.Damien merely nodded and smiled wanly.Sky gave him a mischievous look “I knew I was right when I said you are missing the princess so much that you couldn’t even function properly. Look, you have not even used the Airpod yet” h
“A…romantic relationship, my dear” Sky said then looked around before he lowered his tone. “Or at least a sexual one”Damien knew what sex meant and he gave Sky a sharp look. “What?” Sky asked with a grin. “Wait, don’t tell me that you are fooled into believing that things like that are not happening among these kids” The expression on Damien’s face made him laugh out loud “Oh, I see that I still have a lot of work to do with you,” he said then lowered his tone “These kids are fucking like rabbits from time to time. Some of them even get it on here at the school. How else do you think they spend their time aside from bragging about their parent's wealth and bullying others?” Damien couldn’t believe his ears. Even here in the school? He couldn’t even begin to imagine how, when, and where?“Ah, I see. You really were fooled into believing they are as pristine as they look, don’t you? Well, I can’t blame you though. You don’t hang out with any of the guys and don’t tell me that you did
Isabella looked up at the door as it swung open and her heart thumped when she saw the doctor enter. Though she had been so antsy about getting the test result as fast as possible, her insides clenched as the man came around the table to sit in his chair. Before she went to bed the night before, she had no idea that she would be taking the step that she took that morning. Amidst her tossing and turning though, she had finally decided before morning. So she got up as early as possible. Got dressed, and then went to her father’s chamber to get the samples that she needed. She ignored the memories that wanted to creep into her mind as she got into her father’s chambers. The memory of great times she had had in that room. Memories of the times she had spent with her dad even after her mum died and she had believed with everything in her that she belonged to him. At the moment, she couldn’t even think of anything like that. So, she just ensure that she took enough samples. From his comb
It was an uncomfortable feeling, one that she was not sure that she had ever felt before. She wondered if she was finally going crazy because she was sure that nobody could know her there, not to talk of having enough interest in her to watch her. She checked her phone to see if the doctor had called and she had probably missed it in the melee of the market crowd. No calls yet. When she saw the missed calls from her dad that she had not returned, she felt a twinge of guilt. His call came in just as she got to the airport that morning. It was their routine, her dad always call her morning and night whenever he travelled out of the city on one of his executive functions. She called him atimes too. Either way, they talked each morning to check on each other, always before Isabella left for school. He had called about the same time that she would be ready for school but that morning as she saw the call, she couldn’t pick it up. She just couldn’t. Her chest felt tight and hot with unreli
She ignored him for the rest of the day. Damien wondered how he was supposed to ask the girl if she liked him if she was not even going to acknowledge his presence. He was sure that Sky was just been delusional but then he had to know. Yet she wouldn’t even look straight at him. When the principal gave a directive for everyone to drop their full names and other details with her, she merely looked stoically over Damien’s shoulder as he gave her his details. Sky was watching them and Damien was expecting a jest of a sort when he got back to his seat. But he could see that Sky was still seething from the anger of what he heard earlier. Damien, who had had a long time to deal with the fact that his body had been abused in the most despicable manner, still feel weird about hearing it all like that again. It was as if he was reliving what had happened to him. And the pain. The fact that he could still somehow feel the pain even though his butthole had long healed, was more than embarrassin
“I want to know everything about Sonia” Damien asked immediately as he cornered Sybill on her way to her car. He waited patiently for the two girls to part ways before he stepped in line with Sybill. He could see that Laura hesitated a bit when she saw him as if she couldn’t decide if she should come back and help her dear friend or keep on going. She kept going. Good. “What the hell are you talking about?” Sybill asked as she stopped abruptly in her stride to face him. “Do you need me to come over?” Damien heard Laura ask and he turned back to see that she had turned back. He had no issue with loyal people but he was annoyed at the moment with little Miss Nosy. “What?” Sybill asked then looked towards Laura. “Oh, him? I can handle him. See you tomorrow” she waved Laura off before she turned back to Damien “You must be out of your goddamn mind if you think I am going to tell you anything about that…leave me alone!” she snapped before turning away from him. “Yes, I will do that,”
Damien wondered why Isabella was insistent about not coming to such a place because all he could see was nothing but a respectable neighbourhood. As he opened his eyes, he saw a boy playing in front of one of the terraced homes in the neighbourhood. He could hear a dog barking from a neighbouring house and a teenager was cycling in a carefree manner down the road as he got engrossed in his sport. He paid the bill’s car with no heed. Damien was beginning to think that Sybill had tricked him as the upscale neighbourhood looked nothing like what he had envisioned when Sybill was telling her brother that she was not supposed to be there. She stopped the car finally in front of one of the identical homes in that lane and smirked at him.Immediately, two men dressed in black came out of the house and they stood on the porch with their eyes on the car.“You want to see Smith, don’t you? There you go” Sybill said as she nodded towards the men on the porch. Damien recognises their dress as th
