Our Secrets Are Catching Up With Us
Charlie later came by Oliver’s place. She sat next to Roland while pouring a drink into his cup. Meanwhile, Oliver stood akimbo, wondering how he fumbled his duty to the city.“What are you gonna do now, Oly? I mean, your life is pretty messed up. “I’m shocked you haven’t gotten a call from the Vatican yet,” Charlie said.“I’m going to have a word with Ludacris,” Oliver said sternly.“You are not going to have a word with anybody, Oliver,” Roland demanded.“Relax, I’m not going to kill anybody,” Oliver assured.“Then I’m coming with you,” Roland declared.“I wanna come too.” We’ve been best friends, Oly, and you’ve always been there for me. “I want to be there for you,” Charlie stated.“No. Ludacris hurt Damian because he knew he couldn’t harm the priest. I don’t want him to hurt you. “Please stay back,” Oliver begged.“Okay,” Charlie said in accordance with his plea.“Let’s go,” Oliver said, referring to Roland. He then took his car keys and left.“Don’t get killed!” Charlie yelled.“What do you mean by that question?” Father Michael asked. He pretended as though he didn’t know what she was talking about.“Tell me the truth, father!” Mrs. Welhourst yelled in anger and was almost in tears. There was a moment of silence before the priest decided to speak.“There are creatures dwelling in our city, under our noses.” “He died at the hands of one of them,” Michael’s father confessed. His confession shocked Mes Welhourst. She couldn’t believe what she had just heard.“So pastor Zack was right.” “You are affiliated with those creatures,” she said in disappointment.“Pastor Zack? What do you… what do you mean?” Father Michael asked in confusion.“Didn’t you watch the news?” He said that you preach against darkness when, in fact, you are darkness. I’m sure if I walked up to you and asked whether mystical creatures existed, you would have looked me in the eye and spelled out a big, fat no. Father—I mean Michael—you have not only lost your parishioners but you have lost your church. “No one’s going to want to listen to the word of God from a man who works with the devil,” Mrs. Welhourst said with full scorn, and then she began leaving the church.“Mrs Welhourst! Mrs Welhourst!” Father Michael called out, but she ignored him.Oliver drove over to the vampire’s lair along with Roland. They made quite the entrance. All the vampires in the room stared at them. Oliver then used his telekinesis to destroy the source of the music that played in the background.“Why the fuck is Ludacris?” Oliver asked sternly.“You’ve got a lotta nerve bringing a human to a place filled with hungry vampires.” One of the vampires stated“If anyone lays as much as a finger on him… Oliver said but was cut short by Ludacris’s entrance. He came in holding a female human. It was clear that he had just finished drinking some of her blood because his lip area was filled with blood.“Go home and forget you ever came here,” Ludacris said, compelling the human, and then she left.“Why the nerves, Oly?” Ludacris said with contempt.“Congratu-fucking-lations. You just made me a public target. “Now give me what you stole from me.” Oliver spoke sternly.“For the last time, we didn’t steal anything,” Ludacris stressed.“It’s okay, Oliver, let’s go,” Roland advised. There was a moment of silence. All the vampires in the room began peering at Oliver and Ronald.“Watch your back, Ludacris.” “Watch it,” Oliver threatened, then he left with Roland.It was already time for evening mass, and it was no surprise to Father Michael that no one showed up to celebrate the mass. No sooner did the police barge into the church.“Are you my father, Michael?” One of the officers asked.“Yes, officer, how can I help you?” He asked.“Hands behind your back, you’re under arrest, father,” he replied sternly, and the priest did as he was ordered.Claudia came back to the vampire lord’s lair bearing news.“Omar, did you hear?” She asked with a smirk.“What happened?” Omar asked.“Our dear Oliver is a wanted man. “He might not be now, but when the Vatican finds out about the stolen ring, he’s gone,” Claudia said with satisfaction.“The plan is not to lose Oliver.” You see, I need him alive for my future plans. He doesn’t know the power he possesses, and now is not the right time for him to know. “Even if he becomes aware of who he is, he will not be able to harness the power he possesses without the help of two like-minded individuals,” Omar explained.“I have no intentions of using the ring of the damned.” “I’m just saving it for the right moment,” he continued.“So… you’re not making me immortal?” Claudia asked. Omar became silent, and that was when she realized that she had been used.“You fucking bastard! “You used me!” Claudia yelled.“I saved you from death, and I’ll do it a thousand times if I have to.” “You don’t need to become immortal; with me, you already have immortality,” Omar said, trying to convince her, but she wasn’t buying it.“At least be bold enough not to lie to me, Omar!” You don’t want to grant me the power of immortality because then you wouldn’t have control over me. If I can’t die, then I can do whatever I want, and you don’t want that. Do you?” Claudia asked, and Omar didn’t answer.“Answer me!” Claudia yelled in his face.“I am Omar Reginald! I do not answer to anyone! You answer to me!” Omar retorted.“Fuck you!” Claudia cursed and walked out on him. Furious Omar used the ring of the damned powers and rose Claudia in the air, then dropped her hard several times until she was dead.As Oliver drove his car home, he had a conversation with Roland.“The first time I talked with Ludacris, he called me di’ablo, meaning the devil in Spanish. “Then the pastor said I didn’t know what I was, and it was best to keep it that way,” Oliver said.“Don’t think about all those right now, Oly, please,” Roland begged.Then the priest… said he was no longer going to be an ally to the vampires, the witches, the wizards, and me. “Throughout today, I got the impression that I was something else—that I was different,” Oliver said, worried.“You were born to keep the balance between evil and good,” Roland stated.“Fuck that! Fuck that! As far as I know, I was born of a wizard and a human, and I don’t even know spells. I just think about what I want to do and just do it. “I must be something else if you guys think I’m the most powerful creature in this city,” Oliver said, bothered.“I have nothing to say to you.” You’re just overthinking things because today was a very stressful day for you. “You’re lucky the Vatican hasn’t called you after the breaking news,” Roland said. Some seconds later, the Vatican began calling Oliver. He was quite scared to pick up, but he soon mustered the courage to do so.“Jean, I can explain.” I wasn’t the one who killed those five innocent humans. “The vampires did it to get back at me,” Oliver explained.“I’ll get to that later, but for now, the ring of the damned was just used,” she replied.I DON’T KISS AND TELLJean, one of the top guns of Vatican had just ordered Oliver to turn his car around and head to the HQ. As he and Roland walked in they conversed.“Whatever you do, don’t say the truth and concerning the framed murder, admit to killing them” Ronald advised.“The fuck? Why would I do that? Ludacris framed me just to get back at me” Oliver retorted.“And why did he want to get back at you?” Roland asked.“Because I killed one of his guys” Oliver replied confused about where Ronald was driving at.“And why did you kill him?” Roland asked.“As a warning. He stole the ring of the da… you’re right” Oliver said as he finally realised where Roland was driving at.“I’m always right” Roland boasted.“So what do I tell them?” Oliver asked.“Too late, just figure it out while you’re in there” Ronald said as Jean approached them.“Roland” Jean greeted.“Jean” he replied.“Jean” Oliver greeted.“Oliver” Jean replied.“Come with me. If you would excuse us Roland” Jean said and
COURTESY OF OLIVER STONESOliver and Charlie laid covered in the sheets. She rested her head upon his chest while he ran his fingertips down her hair. "I love you. I've always had. That's why I didn't want you to get involved in all of this" Oliver confessed."And I've always loved you too. That's why I make sure you're okay every time even if the odds aren't against you. But we've been friends for like ten years now. I didn't want to ruin our friendship" Charlie said."Yeah" Oliver said. There was a moment of silence before a sudden knock on the door broke it."Is that Roland?" Charlie asked."I don't know, just put on your clothes" Oliver ordered and she did as she was told immediately. Oliver then went to the door to see who was knocking."Who is it?" Oliver asked."Open up" the person answered sternly. Oliver immediately recognized the voice. He then opened the door."Father" Oliver greeted."Thanks to you, I lost my church but I'm still a good person. Just because I work for th
: FAR FROM HOME"I've not been down here since that incident happened. I don't even know if I can bring myself to perform black magic again" Lizz said as she stirred an elixir in a mortar."Can you stop talking about it, Lizz… please?" Charlie begged calmly."Sorry baby" Lizz said."Not to pry in your business Charlie but what happened?" Roland asked."I don't wanna talk about it Roland. Sorry" Charlie replied."Sure. Sorry I asked" Roland said."So…when doing an uncloaking spell, don't you like need something related to that object?" Roland asked."Sure, I didn't even ask. What are we looking for?" Lizz asked."A ring" Charlie answered. She looked at Roland to be sure whether to tell Lizz the type of ring she was looking for. Roland then gave her the green light."Baby, don't tell me you brought me all the way down just to look for some engagement ring" Lizz said in annoyance."It's not just a ring Lizzy. It's the ring of the damned" Charlie said calmly. Lizz was beyond shocked."I'm
COURTESY OF OLIVER STONESHours later, they got to the new home. It was one abandoned duplex with no neighbours. Everything they needed- food, water, was available. They just had to do some cleaning. As soon as they were done, Charlie took Malcolm to their room and sang him to sleep. After that, she went to meet Oliver and co in the living room."He's asleep" Charlie said stressed out."Great, so who is he?" Oliver asked impatiently."He's just a kid, calm down Oly" father Micheal said."Oliver was right and wrong at the same time. A vampire took the ring but not just any vampire. It's the vampire lord" Roland said."Omar. He used Malcolm's mother to cloak the ring. She practiced black magic" Charlie explained."Vampires can compel but Omar can compel and possess" Roland explained."When we told her we wanted to find the ring she lied and Roland could tell" Charlie said."It was almost as if she didn't want us to find it. So I threatened her" Roland explained."He pointed a gun at her
I'VE GOT MY EYES ON YOUThe police department was very busy after one of their men had just found the mutilated body. He came in and reported to officer Mikey. He was of higher ranking in that department. They then drove to the area of the crime scene and they began investigating. They already began blocking the place so one one would disturb the crime scene."How on earth has nobody seen this guy?" Officer Mikey."I think you need to interrogate another man of God" one officer Mikey mentioned."The priest had nothing. Who else do you have in mind?" officer Mikey asked."Pastor Zachariah. He seemed to have known and perhaps seen Oliver stones to well" the officer replied."The pastor of abundant angels" Officer Mikey said to himself.***********The next morning, Charlie woke up to prepare breakfast for everyone. Roland awakened and joined her in preparing breakfast."You couldn't sleep? Why are you awake this early?" Charlie asked."How can one even have the courage to have a shut e
CLOAKING SPELLOfficer Mikey got to St. Xavier's and couldn't find father Micheal. He then decided to go straight to Oliver's.********Jean was already at Oliver's when she heard a car pull up. She peeped through the window and noticed that it was a cop's car. She quickly tried to leave Oliver's before he noticed her. Mikey got into Oliver's house and started calling out his name. He then heard some noises Jean made when she tripled over a box of shoes. Mikey immediately traced where the sound came from. He then brought out his gun and cocked it."Oliver Stones, come out or I'll shoot. I just wanna talk" Officer Mikey said calmly but Hean didn't budge."The pastor told me most of it… most of everything. The priest lied to me to protect you. I went to the church and he wasn't there. Oliver Stones, come out now and I promise you no harm would be done to you and the priest" officer Mikey assured calmly."This isn't something you can handle officer. Just go back to your department and fo
BY ORDER OF THE VATICANOliver later found the courage to reply Jean."I killed one of their guys" Oliver replied."Why?" Jean asked sternly but Oliver refused to answer."Why did you kill a vampire?!" Jean asked angrily."I made a mess and I'm gonna fix it. I don't need the Vatican's help. I don't want anyone getting hurt because of me. There might be a war and you all tell me that I am the most powerful creature in the world. No matter what I do, I'll still remain the only person that can save us all from what's coming" Oliver said and then he hung up."Motherfucker!" Jean exclaimed."What did he say?" Batista asked."Oliver Stones and Roland Oswald are wanted men…by order of the fucking Vatican" Jean said sternly.*********Night was fast approaching and Malcolm was still yet to awake. Charlie and the priest sat beside him."He's gonna wake up soon. Don't worry" father Micheal said calmly."His mother never wanted him practising magic. I don't want him to end up the way she did. She
DUAL LEGACYFOUR YEARS AGORoland got out of his car and slammed the door shut. "Oly, come on we're here" Roland said with a smile. Oliver then came out of the car."What is this place?" Oliver asked concerned."The Vatican HQ. Like I told you, they put me in charge of you for some months so that when you're ready, you'll face the task ahead of you" Roland said."I'm 22 Roland. No fucking law enforcement agency can tell me what I'm supposed to face" Oliver said sternly."I wonder if your mindset will change in a room with a human, a vampire, two witches, an angel and a demon as your superiors" Roland said and then he began his entrance into the Vatican."Hey, wait up" Oliver said as he picked up his pace.Soon, he got to the room where he was to meet the leaders of the Vatican. Ginger used a spell to jam the doors shut."Okay…" Oliver said to himself."Roland…you may speak" Jean declared."Morning everyone. I present to you Oliver Stones our dual legacy" Roland said with a smilePRESE
