Lord of Origins Chp 40 - Young Androne
“My goodness! You are looking like a mess!” A.O. Sylvestro, the principal of Maryland High School said when Damien entered her office.Sky winced at the principal’s high-pitched voice and he looked back at Damien as if just seeing him as he thought of how Damien must look to a woman who was used to only seeing her students at their very best. After all, students of Maryland High school were known to have at least about one uniform for each day of school and some of them couldn’t be caught dead in a rumpled school uniform not to talk of a stained one like that of Damien at the moment.Sky hated the fact that Michael had a rule set in place for all of them that forbade them from what he called unnecessary advantage because he would have loved nothing more at the moment than to wring Mr Dax's neck.The man had vented his anger on them after the powerful trio left. After yelling at Sky to get going, the man refused to leave until he saw Sky left so Sky had no choice but to tell him that h
Lord of Origins Chp 41 - Misty-Eyed Principal
The ensuing events of the day did nothing to dim the excitement inside Damien at finally being in “high” school. The high school had been nothing like what he had imagined and he was happy that he could finally make it. Damien was more grateful to Leah at that moment than he had been originally when she felt promised him that he would be able to attend.When Cade thought he was ridiculing Damien, all Damien could think about was how much more people he was going to see and get to mingle with. He had checked on his phone in the past few days to know what to expect. He knew that he would at least get to be part of a community bigger than the few workers he had come across at the Macmillans.Even though the Macmillans have a lot of workers on their cotton plantation and many working in the gardens, Damien only sees most of them as they come and leave and they snubbed him most of the time. Even the workers staying in the staff house seemed to have collectively decided to ostracize him.
Lord of Origins Chp 42 - Inevitable Meet!
“Damien, ma” Damien quickly corrected himself when he heard the woman’s statement and Sky gave him a wide-eyed look with a hushed “Dude, what are you doing?”“I am sorry, ma,” he said to the woman, who was giving him an askance look “That was a mistake. I am Damien ma, Damien Kostos” he repeated.Principal Sylvestro finally looked away from him as she looked down at a file she picked atop some others n the left side of the table.“Oh year, Damien Kostos, I have you here. Your recommendation from the King came as a surprise because I have not heard of any Kostos here in Santa Eyre. Wh…”“He is from Afghanistan, ma. He and his family live there. Ah, I…yes” Sky completed when principal Sylvestro turned a displeased look on him.“I am sure I wasn’t talking to you, Androne. Was I?” she asked in a snappy tone.“No, ma I….”“What are you doing here by the way? Shouldn’t you be in class right now?”“We are in the same class ma,” Sky replied as if that was a perfect explanation.“And?” Princip
Lord of Origins Chp 43 - Formidable Enemy
Damien conveniently looked away from Ashton's glare as he made his way to the seat that Sky pointed at. Zach suddenly threw his leg out to trip Damien and even though his fast reflex saved him from falling over, his stagger earned him a few snickers from the student as Zach raised an eyebrow at him as if daring him to talk when Mr Silas asked the student to quiet before looking over at Damien who was still standing as he asked "What is delaying you? Take your seat" "I am sorry, sir," Damien said as he took the seat, ignoring Zach's silent taunt. "Just ignore them" Sky mouthed him before turning to face the teacher. Damien felt eyes on him as he tried not to look around in fascination or curiosity as he could sense different emotions from the stares he fell on him. Some are that of derision and disbelief. Some that of interest and malicious anticipation. Some indifferent. Then one... he could feel a different vibration and energy from somewhere to his right and he wondered what it me
Lord of Origins Chp 44 - All-Hands?
Damien showed the note to Sky immediately after Mr Silas left the class and the latter only whistled with a grin."Well, look at you being famous already," The younger vampire said with a light thump on Damien's shoulder "At least it took me a while to get popular with them. I was the ostracized kid before their highnesses felt I was worthy enough to talk to"He looked behind Damien suddenly as he said in a serious tone "Don't think much of this and I think you are about to have more of that" he stated.Damien could already feel someone's intent approach behind him and he turned around just in time to face her. The redhead girl."What is a weirdo like you doing here?" she said with her voice raised. "Are you still stalking me?" There she goes again with that word. Damien thought and he was about to set her straight on that account when Zach stood up from his chair so fast that it almost toppled over."You dare to stalk her? What made you think you are for to even look at her?" he sho
Lord of Origins Chp 45 - Bike's Gone
“Let’s go” Sky whispered to Damien immediately after the school bell rang after the last class.Damien, who found his eyes kept going over to the brunette girl was startled as he looked back at Sky. The serious look on Sky’s face alerted him to the fact that something was not right, then he remembered the students that went out of the class and that thing some of their classmates said about “All-Hands”“You still haven’t told me what those boys meant by…”“No time. Let’s go” Sky said as he glared at some of the students that were about to come over to Damien’s side as they pointed their fingers at him and laughed. Damien quickly put his book in his bag and smiled to himself as he remembered how difficult it had been for him to write down their strange letters. He was determined to get it right though and he wished that he would have some time to himself when he get back to the Macmillan’s for him to start practising. “Probably in the evening,” he thought to himself as he turned to Sk
Lord of Origins Chp 46 - Below Radar
“Oh shit!” Sky said when he realised that it had started already. He had thought he would at least be able to get back to the Abode to inform Michael about what happened and asked about what could be done.Though Sky felt that these people deserve whatever was coming to them for their arrogance and nasty behaviours but he knew that Michael would frown upon any violence started by him, especially in a place like a school.And now this? He deliberately tamped down the anger that was threatening to erupt in him as he vaguely heard Damien ask him something. He had no idea what he said though as he turned aside to look at him.Damien shook his head at him as he must have detected the turmoil going through Sky’s system. Sky nodded briefly as he tried to bring himself under control. He knew what Damien had seen. The New Order clan vampires had been trained to live below the radar for years and they had learnt to curb their hunger and urges in order not to attract attention to themselves. Th
Lord of Origins Chp 47 - Just Say Okay
“Why would you do that? Of course not! Why should we run away from those punk heads? I am not a coward and I…” Sky trailed off when he saw the look on Michael’s face and he knew that it had to do with the way he was addressing Damien. He had become so used to the leader in the past weeks that he did indeed forget that it was a privilege for them to even have him with them at all in this world and how it was unacceptable for any of them to speak to the latter the way he was. The anger he was trying so hard to keep on a leash had just got the better of him when he heard what Damien said. He realised his mistake when he saw the stormy look on Michael’s face and he cleared his throat before saying “What I meant was that, leader, you shouldn’t…” “Damien” Damien corrected him immediately even though his back was to the other occupants in the room as he looked out the window. The sky looked briefly at Michael’s face before nodding slightly as he proceeded “Damien, I mean you shouldn’t be

Chp 227 - Epilogue
Months Later...Damien stood in the palace of Santa Eyre. He was looking down through a concealed portico at the people down in the palace waiting room.The creme de la creme of Santa Eyre was down there. All of them were waiting for him to see them on one issue or the other. It had been the routine for Damien for the past months now. There had been a lot to deal with, after their encounter with Ulric. The King's burial had been an international affair. King Saldus had been a very influential and well-beloved king. Presidents of countries, well-known CEOs all over the world, and dignitaries from different continents were in Santa Eyre, for days, to celebrate the dead king.They all believed that the king had died peacefully in his sleep. Only Damien and his inner circle knew that there was more to the king's death. There had been a dark essence to his chakras. Damien still couldn't come to terms with how much Ulric took from them. The call Allan received after the battle with Ulric,

Chp 226 - A Decision To Make
Total darkness filled the whole house as the power supply went off all of a sudden. The only silhouette that could be seen was the dark mass gathering again in the middle of the room. It was so massive and tall that it seemed like a giant was forming out of it. The witches rallied together and a spark of fire ignited above them to conquer the dark. Light could be seen from afar but the immediate environment of Damien’s house was as dark as the void itself. “I will purge you abominations from this earth!” came the terrifying voice of Ulric as the darkness swirled around the lights and they all went out again. One of the witches screeched, and by the time the magic light was lit again, she could be seen grabbing her throat, as blood poured out of her mouth and sunken eyes. “We need to take this motherfucker out!” Liam shouted and the rest were right with him. Damien took the lead as they charged the dark mass again. Damien released the orb and every protective substance he had in t

Chp 225 - Will Not Fail
Everyone in the room looked at each other as the mocking voice of the man they all knew, had heard of, and heard of resounded throughout the house. The distortion to his voice was horrid and the frightening element in it was only causing more fear in those around. Only the leaders were still stoic. The soldiers were half paralysed with fright as King Saldus went on and on to describe explicit ways that they would all be obliterated that night. Exactly at 11:58 pm, the voice stopped talking and Isabella’s phone exploded right there in the middle of the room. It was charred beyond recognition. A blast of wind rocked the shingles of the house. Suddenly, the witches all exclaimed “Stench of the underworld” A knock sounded at the door at exactly 12:00 am. They all looked at each other and beneath the bravado, was a hint of apprehension. They all knew that they might not come out of this alive. Still, the witches flung the door open by magic and someone tumbled inside. Even as everyone

Chp 224 - King Kovarick...Dead?
Sky did not wake up immediately. Morgan tried to wake him up but she eventually looked up at Damien and others. “I think he used up his vitality. Ulric did something else with Sky that he had never done with any other host before. He used him up. He might…he might never wake up” she said with a sigh of defeat. “No, no. that is not possible. Do something leader. You have to do something!” Michael said in desperation. Damien knew that but then he thought of the fact that Ulric might want to use Sky’s condition as a distraction for them while he strike from elsewhere. Damien was the head of the group and their link make them strong together, just as he make them vulnerable together as well. If Damien was caught in the realm while trying to heal Sky, any damage done to him at that moment will affect the whole group as well. He was sure that Ulric had a plan to do something to them while they were trying to heal Sky. Though it was difficult for him to do; he had to ask “How long can he

Chp 223 - One Of Us
“You changed her?” Michael confronted Damien the moment he got back to the house. He had to teleport Laura back with him since she was still very much out of it. He had just placed her in his room, where Morgan and Isabella were keeping an eye on her when Michael confronted him just as he came out of his suite.Here we go. He thought. Anger welled in him for the reminder of his guilt. He respected Micahel for being a stickler for rules but at the moment, he did not care to be reminded that he had failed to protect his woman. He did not need the clan leader to rub more salt unto his wound. Not at all.“If you have a thing to say, just say it,” Damien said as he bypassed Michael on his way to the main floor.“If I…” Michael paused in disbelief then he lengthened his stride to meet up with that Damien. “If I have a thing to say? We never change humans. You know how precarious they could be and you went to turn one of them?”“She is one of us now,” Damien said as he turned back to face hi

Chp 222 - Smith Is Butler Shawn's Son?
Sybill Macmillan couldn’t believe what was happening! When Andrea called her to inform her, she thought that her bratty sister was just acting up. Truth be said, Andrea didn’t appear as bratty as she used to be. Sybill felt it must have to do with the fact that she didn’t have to see her daily anymore. It had all started long before Sybll left for school. Andrea had capitalised on her invitation to the palace by the king, an invitation orchestrated by that nobody. Damien. Sybill still couldn’t think of him without distaste in her mouth but she didn’t dare say any of her thoughts aloud.Who could have thought that a mere gawking, gardener? A good-for-nothing would turn out to be a prince. A referred prince for that matter that the whole of Santa Eyre and its environs had become submissive to. Sybill snorted as she remembered the rumour she had once heard that the king intended to pass the throne to Damien. Sybill doubted if the king would be so dumb to do such a thing. Why would a man

Chp 221 - The Awakening
Laura’s awakening was messy, to say the least. She woke up hours later feeling disoriented, groggy and out of it. It took her a while to recognise Damien. Then she blurted out “I love you” thoughtlessly. In the next moment, she was shouting bout feeling so thirsty, then she started pulling at her hair and agitating about hating her skin. Her clothes felt too tight. Her head hurt and she felt like she would die if she did not eat something.Damien knew what was happening. Despite how much he wanted to ignore it, the inevitable couldn’t be denied. Laura had become a vampire and if he did not do something about it, she would die within the first hour of her awakening. He tried to talk to her during that moment to see if she would rather choose to die than become a fully-formed vampire, yet it was like singing a lullaby to a deaf kid. She could hear him. She seemed to have some iota of consciousness but she was not comprehending what he was saying.“Okay, okay. Can I eat now?” was the ans

Chp 220 - Laura's Death
It finally dawned on Damien why Sky/Ulric wanted him to see him draining the life out of Laura. It was just so he could make a difficult decision or live eternally with the guilt of causing the death of the girl that he only belatedly realized he loved. Tears trailed down Morgan’s face as she stood up. “It is no use. I…I can’t do it. There is nothing to draw from. I can’t heal her.” She spread her bloodied hands to the sides as anguish soaked her voice. “My hands are filled with her blood, and I can’t bring her back. I was supposed to be better than this”“Now, now. You shouldn’t beat yourself up, A Ghra. This is not your fault” he looked straight at Damien over Morgan’s head “This mess was not for you to sort”“What the hell did you just call me? How can you be so cold and glib right now?” Morgan lashed out at him. “An innocent girl is dying for God’s sake. She did nothing wrong! She is dying and there is nothing I can do. That… bastard drained her lifeblood. He wanted us to watch h

Chp 219 - Ebbing Life Fire
Laura called him in the wee hours of the following morning. He almost couldn’t believe his eyes as the true caller on his phone identified the number. The call brought back the memory of the kiss they had shared and the messy feelings that seemed to take hold of him whenever he heard her name or that of anyone related to her. “Laura?” he called her name like a question. “You are…”“Awwn, isn’t this sweet?” everything stilled inside Damien as he heard Sky’s voice. Fuck it! He yelled in his mind, knowing immediately that damage had been done. If not, why would…Laura!“What have you done to her, Ulric?” Damien asked instantly.“Ulric? Who is that? There is only your buddy, Sky, here. Remember me?” Sky’s horrid tone said over the phone.Damien quelled all forms of imagination that wanted to come to his head about what could have happened to her as he said calmly “She has nothing to do with this. I thought you were said to be a wise man. Surely, you must know that she is a human and she i
