Apart from Sarai the witch, someone else had the gut feeling that the vampires were gonna find them.

That was Kylian.

Even though he tried to stop himself from thinking such a thing, he still knew they were gonna find him. He just hoped that it would be a little longer.

And he hoped that it wouldn't be bloody. For his friends. Heald, Benzo, the witch and any other person that wants to stand by him.

He didn't want it to be bloody for them. As it had always been for the ones who stood for him in the past.

But he knew the moment he told his past and no one of them left, that they would never go even if he tried to push them away.

Nothing else could have chased them away other than his dark past.

"We have to hold them off," Benzo said.

"I and Benzo would do that but we need to get Kylian outta here, because the two of us cannot defeat Adrian, he's a strong naturally born vampire." Heald suggested.

"I will get Kylian out of here." Sarai nodded. "Mei Li will help you guys."

The light from the large circle that made up the portal did a little illumination after all.After the female figure. A male figure fell out too.

Barely holding to life.Sarai looked around. A building should be here.Her eyes flashed up, a slum was at the extreme end, on the elevated side of the street.

His red eyes scanned every corner from under his scarlet cloak and hoodie.He got into the living room and stopped. It was dark but he could see clearly. The red rug under his boots threatened to swallow his feets but he's not shaken in any way."I know you're in there. It would be better if you come out to me." Adrian said, with a growl."What do you want again?"Adrian turned to the door leading to other rooms in the house.

    .. Market Street..Neon lights that enunciated boards and signs glowed around. The space boomed and thrummed with life. Market Street always does.People going around, shopping for whatever they need. And on other hand, the other people, the supernaturals, lurking around, having their own time too, their existence unknown to the human.Despite that it's night time, the bright lights and neons glowing have so much light that it seemed as though it's day. But despite the illumination, the humans couldn't identify the supernatural beings that loomed among them.Sarai turned into a corner. Trudging through dark alleyways, shadows of stalls and structures, Sarai advanced further into the market.Trailing behind her was Kylian, on a magic chair.Sneaking her way through, she stopped by the edge of a building.The magic chair stopped behind her.She peeped out from the corner.

A growl from Akotal followed.The vampire trembled. "I- he's comi-"The vampire was interrupted when his head flew into the air. His headless body dropped on the ground, watched by the wide, trembling eyes of the other vampires in the hall."Lord Akotal," Aro called, calmly. "I think you should calm down, the healer is already here."In a flash, Akotal appeared before Aro. "You shouldn't be saying this Aro. Look at my face." He pointed at his face, Aro gazed at it. It's burnt and his features are mashed into one another. "A second delay and this is permanent."The burns on his face were caused by a flame of a foe. A foe he was hell bent on des

Sarai's mother, Katrina called as she searched around the house for her daughter.She peeped over the large refrigerator by the wall, but to her disappointment, Sarai isn't there as she always does. But the drawing papers on the ground gave Katrina the leads about where Sarai might be.Katrina sighed and walked around the refrigerator to the corner which is littered by the drawing sheets that she easily knew was her daughter's.She bent before it and picked the papers. On the papers were half drawn images. Like a tree that had one eye, but the tree isn't whole yet. Katrina exhaled sharply and grabbed the other papers. All she met was the same. A tree that had eyes, but the drawing isn't completed, just like the first ones.Katrina sprung to her feet and she strode to the stairs, ascending it in a race and then rushed to the extreme end of the upper corridor. She stopped by the door and hesitated for a second. However, she sighed and grabbed t

Her head bent into the book as she wrote down jargons.It got to a point when she stopped.

Her eyes scanned every single thing in sight.Just as she went, she heard a rustle and she scurried to hid behind a large bending walnut.She was wondering what it was, when some figures came into view. They were all clad in black cloaks and their heads were hidden under dark hoods.There was on

Hellsong raised his hands in the air as he said, "don't give me that look, John. I'm here, alone.""What do you want?" John growled."Isn't it obvious?" Hellsong grinned, mischievously."You're not getting her." John replied."I bet your men wouldn't say that. Can't you see the girl is already joined with the skull spirit. She's seen things and is imagining things now. She's losing her mind and it's only a matter of time before she does something out of the question." Hellsong lifted his face thoughtfully as he reasoned, "come to think of it, if a person who had lost her mind like her is finally mated by a skull vampire. The result can be really interesting.""Regardless, I can't let you take her." John said with resolve."And as I said earlier, your fellow werewolves can't say the same thing."

    Swoosh! Swoosh!!At the Western part of the castle, there was a flash of light in the middle of utter darkness.After a few seconds, the light subsided. Then, two figures were revealed.Kylian and Hector.Hector grinned sheepishly as he gazed at his hands, slowly lowering his gaze to look at his other bod parts, awe visible in his eyes.Kylian glanced at him and whispered. "What is it?""I haven't experienced that before in my entire life." Hector responded, still in awe."Emmm!" Kylian took off his eyes and looked around them.They were in the middle of a twenty meters wide and over a hundred meters long hall, which was dimly lit. The wall, made of black stone, had veins of pure gold running through it, making it look like streaks of gold in pure black sea of walls.The floor looked like a wood but not entirely like a wood, it looked like a metal.The place was so silent that if a needle dropped, it sound would be heard all over the hall.Even though there's a source of illumination

    This night is never going to be great.

    The others waited, all silent and in their thoughts, as they watched Sarai whisper words, inaudibly.She stepped forward, ahead of them as the blue magic circle on her hands vanished and the exact type appeared beneath her feets.An invisible wave of energy poured outward, with Sarai as the core.Her voice got even louder and the wind blew around very hard, flapping her dress.After about thirty minutes, she finally stopped, heaving heavily."Hey, how is it?" Hector asked.The others had their eyes on her too as she struggled to steady her breathing."I think she's done it guys." Benzo's voice reached them and they all turned to see the waters.It's no longer just a water body, it's now a lake. And standing erect in the middle of it, towering in its black form, was an old castle that looked like a thousand years old house.The sinister aura that emanated from the building alone sent chills down the spine of the group as they gazed at it."Beautiful, isn't it?" Kylian smiled, wryly and

He pulled up the sleeve of his black attire, revealing his pale white hand and bit his wrist, letting out pale red blood.He moved his hand to the stone and let the blood dripping from the wrist fall on the Bone knife. Bones-the-old's eyes glowed bright white and his whole body trembled as he activated his supernatural ability of foreseeing the future. This time, it's the future of the coven.While the process went on, the others were quiet.Anxiety or worry can't be used to qualify what Caius and the others are feeling right now. What they are feeling right now, but can't say it out loud, was terror.Why won't they feel like that?A Primordial vampire who is after them, but currently too weak to do it,

    Love in pieces

    Flashback.A thousand years ago.The twenty meters tall, five meters wide wooden double doors broke apart. A manly figure dashed into the large hall with hurried steps. The heavy breathing of the figure, definitely not that of exhaustion, spoke volumes of how vexed he is.In the middle of the large hall was a large and long wooden table with wooden chairs around it.Spread beneath the spot was a woven carpet that had the embroidery of a bat that had three eyes, the symbol of the Tribunals.Four figures occupied the chairs and were having a tete-a-tete on the table. They all looked young and youthful and a deathly aura that had a pressure that could kill a normal human, emanated from them.They are the Primordial Vampire family known as the Tribunals. They are the elders of the Tribunals. They are the true Primordials of the clan.The figure that entered the large hall earlier stopped by the table. He looked like a young man. But he isn't just a man. He's one of the true Tribunals. He

    The MarcabaKylian didn't feel a thing when he heard what Heald said about the person who wanted to use Christa as a sacrifice. He just went numb. His dead heart stopped beating and he felt like he's drowning in water and the pressure is sucking out his life, slow, slow.A Primordial vampire wanted to make use of Christa as a sacrifice. A Primordial vampire?!Those words alone sent shivers down his spine. Every obsession that the soulmate something brought on him all died down as he recounted the words.A Primordial vampire!"Why?" He whispered, the word barely heard."I can explain it all to you, if you would hear me out," Sarai said. Kylian slowly shifted his gaze to hers. The blank expression on his face began to morph and soon became that of perplexity. "Tell me, Sarai.""You were turned by a Skull vampire, do you know that?" Sarai lifted a brow."Yes." Kylian nodded. His eyes fluttered and bitterness shown in it as he added. "Even though I don't know his name."It is such a pit

    Feeling self pity.

    Urgency washed through Kylian and his veins pumped hard. He yelled in alarm. "We need to find Christa!" Heald nodded and held Kylian's shoulder as he said, "we know."Kylian's face crumpled. "You know?""Yes." Sarai nodded."She's been taken by Hellsong and you are all here saying you know?!" Kylian snapped. "Do you realize this girl is my soulmate?""It's not that we don't care about your soulmate, Kylian." Heald shook his shoulder slightly, "this is more than you think.""You must have known before that she's going to be used for a sacrifice by a person?" Sarai asked.Kylian nodded."It's not just a person." Sarai added. "It's a vampire.""He's a very powerful vampire." Benzo muttered.Kylian shifted his gaze between them, his eyes utterly filled with confusion.Heald sighed with a deathly expression as he completed. "It's a Vampire Lord.

    The curse

    Silence ruled the space. The silence was so much that it would alarm even a god. The space was void. Just plain white and it stretched as far as the eye could see. It was endless, like a whole world. Kylian was standing in the middle of the place, his eyes, normal silvery flashed around in confusion. 'Where am I?' he thought inwardly as he swiveled, constantly, in 360° turns. "You are here, Eleodore!" A voice echoed around the place. It sounded like the union of speakers located at the four corners of the white realm. That's if it has corners and ends. Kylian looked around. 'My real name?' he thought and the confusion on his face overflowed as he desperately searched for the caller. "It's me." The voice came again. Kylian searched around his head for where he had heard the voice before. No one knows his real name. Apart from Heald, Sarai, Mei Li and Benzo, no one else knows his real name. They knew his name only because he told the story of his past to them. No one from his p

"What are we doing here, Ava?"The second figure, identified to be Ava, seemed not to be bothered by question as she gazed around.She dodged a man in a black mantua as she replied calmly. "Your curiosity will be gone in a moment, Caius."The first figure, Caius sighed and turned his eyes from Ava as they went on, under the scorching sun."Here we are." Ava pulled down her hood as she stopped by a shop in front of which several talisman and lucky cards are displayed. She gestured to Caius as she muttered. "Come in."Caius' eyes glinted with hesitation at first. But at the slight reassuring smile of Ava's, he s
