Damien would have laughed out loud at Sky’s expression when he peaked out from beneath his paint-drenched eyelids before he quickly shut his eyes again. Especially when the latter wanted to rush over to Damien and he was also conscious of splattering his white sneakers with the pool of red paint that looked more like congealed blood on the floor.

Yes, it would have been hilarious if he was not drenched in the same paint that threatened to choke him as he felt it dried up beneath his nose, over his closed eyelids, the weight weighing down his ruined uniform. Spitting mad was an understatement of what he was feeling at the moment.

Helios' statement sparked his fury more and he could feel the invisible Ring of Origins heated up on his finger and a desire to unleash all it could do on these idiots, his sense heightened and he could hear the bastards that drenched him as they hooted down the hallways as they left the building.

Those idiots. “He would get them good” the threat rang true and

    “What happened to you?” Damien’s head jerked towards the direction where the querying voice came from and he sighed inwardly when he saw that it was the tawny-eyed girl.What is she doing here now? Her timely appearance reminded him of the girl called Morgan and he wished she would just leave him be because he was in no mood to be civil to anyone!He was about to pass her by when she snapped at him “I am talking to you!” she yelled in a tone he had never heard her use with him before. The “I am the head girl and you have to listen to me” tone.Well, that was it!“I heard you. I do not want to answer you” he replied as civilly as he could and he gave no damn that her eyes widened a bit.She looked around as if expecting someone then looked back at him “Who did this to you?”What did she want with him? She was one of the reasons for his trouble after all. He thought in anger before he shrugged nonchalantly. He wanted to pass her by again but then she held his hand.Damien was surprised

    Sky lend Damien a spare cloth since the school uniform was beyond repair now. Sky advised him to get under the shower for a hosing down, which did not help much. If nothing else, it made the uniform look like something that had been dragged through a graffiti war and back.Michael was not around at The Abode when Damien followed Sky home and he didn't wait long after getting spare clothing to change into. Sky talked about getting him a new uniform and Damien agreed that getting spare ones would help especially now that it would be hard to put on the one that had been dealt many blows already. The clothes were given to Solara and she promised to do her best to get them cleaned up. Throwing all caution to the wind, Damien activated his teleporting mechanism and in no time, he was at the edge of the Macmillan’s property. He made himself visible and he walked briskly to the house. He did not attempt to greet those on the porch at all since he knew they wouldn’t answer him anyway.“Did yo

    “Just follow me and stop acting like an idiot” Sonia snapped at Damien after Smith had zoomed off in his car.Damien wiped off the blood on his mouth. The slight pain infuriated him as he followed the girl. Do they have to put him amid their issues? He wondered in amazement then he looked up in surprise when the girl shut the door firmly in his face.What now? Was he supposed to follow her or wait for her out here? He wondered as he looked around and then back at the shut door. He decided to open the door before he got scolded but his hand barely grazed the door before it was jerked open again.He hurriedly moved back as the girl glared at him then she threw her limited edition bag hard at his chest before she strutted past him on the way to her car.Da

    Damien could check the meaning of a tour guide on his phone when the girl was not paying him much attention. Just as Sky had taught him to check on Google, he typed: What is a toor guard?After many wrong trials, he finally got a person employed to show tourists around places of interest.What? He wondered in apprehension. No wonder Andrea had told Sonia that he did not know anywhere. He wished Sonia had listened because how was he supposed to take her anywhere when he only knew a few places himself? He thought in panic. It did not take long before he realised that Sonia did not need him to take her anywhere after all.She did need him but only as a pack mule. Damien regretted ever twisting the girl’s ha

    Damien was queasy and he knew it had nothing to do with the chain-smoking that Rox and his friends had been doing since they got to the inner room of the house.The room was dimly listed compared to the main floor where music was still blasting and shouts of laughter could be heard from time to time as booze passed freely in the party. Young men and women were sniffing nose candy like it was a regular powder and even though Damien had no idea of what they have all huddled around on a low stool with different silver funnels, exotic looking needles since some of them prefer injecting theirs instead of taking it orally, he knew though that it couldn’t be anything healthy because of the way some of them lay sprawled like they are half dead and most became hyperactive.He was amazed by the way Sonia had been throwing shots of alcohol back since they entered the house and her friend was no different. The friend’s giggle had increased in tempo as she got squished amid three guys that seemed

    Damien’s head felt heavy as the world around him seemed to be on a spin, well at least the room around him. Laughter rose and he was instantly reminded of the derisive laughter that he had been enduring since he got to Santa Eyre. he remembered what happened at school that day and the semi-dark room seemed to be flooded with light and suddenly he could see the faces of the boys that bathed him with paint as they shouted heads up!Oh, he would kill them! He thought as anger rose in him. Yet a part of him seemed intent on dragging him back to reality. No, that was before. This is now, he was not covered with paint now, was he? He tried to pull at his clothes to confirm if he still had the sticky paints all over him but then he realised that he couldn’t even feel his hands.Nor did he seem to have any clothes on. Did he pull his clothes? Everything? In

    Barechested and only cloaked in the little pants that Sky had called boxers, Damien walked groggily towards the entrance of the brightly-lit Police station. He was held by the arm by the female police officer and he wondered if she was doing it because she knew that he was not steady on his feet or because she did not want him to run away. Either way, he was grateful for her because after puking his guts out, the sensation in his stomach seemed to have worsened and he regretted ever collecting anything from that man…Rox.“Where was he?” Damien thought suddenly when he realised that he did not see him as well. Just as he did not see Sonia. He was tempted to look around to see if they came with the other vehicles that the police officers rode in but he was uncertain if his head would survive it or if it would simply spin off his neck. So, he simply concentrated on taking one step after the

    “And you said the person told you that he works for us? That must be a mistake, officer.” Damien closed his eyes in resignation as he heard the voice on the other side of the phone. “He must be one of those wannabes that will do to any length to attach themselves to my family. Make sure you deal with the person very well” The phone disconnected and the female officer looked back at Damien. “I thought you said that is your working place? How come nobody knows you there?” Damien opened his eyes back and he wondered what he was supposed to say. He had slept at the police station in a dingy cell since he did not have a number to call. He watched as the families of the other people he was arrested with came one after the other to bail out their children, wards and relatives. Nobody came for him and he wondered again why Sonia and Rox were not arrested. Sonia must have told them at the Macmillan’s that he was arrested, right?The female officer asked him when she came in that morning abou

    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,

    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

    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

    “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

    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
