The Vampire realm
" I had the same dream again", Mark said,
" again? How was it this time?", Jack asked,
" Romeo was being pursued by wolves and again, the wolves killed him unfortunately",
" am getting tired of this, it has been twelve years already but yet no trace of him, his bow is broken and you kept dreaming that he was killed but the reapers said they didn't get him that night", Kalern said feeling frustrated,
Jack exhales, " Romeo is very powerful so I'm sure he can't die just like that",
" let's just be honest with each other that we just don't want to admit the bitter truth that he's dead, his bow is broken and there's no trace of his so he's dead, Romeo is dead",
Jack's eyes immediately turned red and dragged Mark closer with his collar, he gritted his fangs looking so angry, "My best friend is alive, his bow might be broken, you might be having your nonsense dreams but he's alive so get that into your skull", he released him after saying that.
"If he's alive then where could he be?", Kalern asked and after some seconds the three of them looked at one another and said in unison,
" the human world?",
" Could it be he ran to the human world?",
" he could do that, he inherited some portion from his mother",
" but we know how much Romeo hated humans so much, he can't possibly go there", Jack said,
" what if he was in a situation where he had no choice",
" I also think we should give it a trial, who knows",
" then let's inform Quin",
" I don't think so, Quin has deserted us since then and he's been acting suspicious",
" but still",
Kalern didn't like the idea of informing Quin after their opinion of searching for Romeo in the human world. He looked at Jack said Mark and thought of a way to convince them to leave him behind, he never liked him but Romeo brought him into their midst.
" you guys know the human world is a very huge one so I think we should leave early",
" what of Quin?", Jack asked,
" we'll leave a message and part of Romeo's portion for him with the letter",
" you do that then while I and Mark create the portal today I don't think I can do it alone",
" Sure",
Jack and Mark sped to the backyard and began to create the portal. Kalern didn't leave a message nor did he leave any portion for Quin but he kept wondering what would happen if they found out about what he did,
"Well, I'll tell them it was because Quin will not be able to control his blood lust and we cannot risk humans knowing there are vampires in their midst. Yes, that's the perfect excuse", he said to himself and went to join others. They finally created the barrel and jumped into it.
The breeze in the room was unusual, the sound of his heavy pants and groan filled the room.
He drank the contents in the bottle....he was screaming in pain...he fell as his parents approached....you must not love any human...you must not fall in love.....he was fading....his eyes suddenly turned red.
His eyes opened suddenly but his breath was still irregular as he just woke up from his nightmare. He stood up from the bed as he became thirsty and went to his closet. He deepened his hand behind the cloth brought out a bottle of blood and drank it. He exhaled and sat back on his bed, staring at nothing in particular.
" Eddie! Eddie are you awake?", he heard his mum call but didn't respond. She felt the urge to go in but he's going to flare up, he is suddenly sensitive anytime it comes to another party entering his room, especially without his permission and he's always strict about it. Her son had become distant a lot and she couldn't blame him, she knew she was at first, she knew she hardly gave him attention and that's probably why he felt so distant but she hoped he'd Cheer up and finally make friends now that he's getting admitted into another school.
" Eddie!", she called again,
"yes", he replied coldly, " I'm about to get ready for school", he lied,
" okay then but be fast so you won't get late", she said and left reluctantly.
He sighed and stood up then headed over to the bathroom.
A dark-haired girl with blue sparkling eyes, tall and slim stood as she watched some men playing a game. The four of them seemed not to notice her...one of them tossed some dice....she seemed to enjoy watching the game as she found herself grinning... suddenly fear gripped her as their eyes turned red.
..they looked at her murderously....she kept on running with all her might, panting and sweating but then she suddenly fell into a cliff and screamed...
Amaya yanked up from her nightmare, panting and sweating, her hair was in a mess and her nightwear was soaked in her sweat. She exhaled and tried to breathe normally,
"It's just a nightmare", she said and crawled towards the drawer and brought out a small purse. She opened it and brought out some dice, she kept looking at it trying to understand the reason why she had been having nightmares since she took the dice.
(flashback)
" hey, kid wake up! wake up!", she shook the kid continuously. She was just roaming in the bush when she heard someone screaming and walked fearfully towards the direction only to see a boy lying on the floor with beetles beside him. She became scared and looked around to see if there was someone around who had probably attacked him but no one else was there. She looked closely at the boy and the dice caught her eyes, it looked very beautiful and shiny. She made to pick it up but the boy grabbed her hand startling her, he opened his eyes and stared back at her,
"Please, help me", the boy pleaded, groaning in pain. She heard the footsteps of some people running in their direction and became more scared, she quickly released herself from his grip and grabbed the dice before running away.
(end of flashback)
Amaya sighed as she recollected, her eyes drifted to the table clock, and her eyes widened,
"WHAT!!?, ho no I woke up late again", she scratched her head roughly,
" Amaya!!!", she heard her mom shouting her name and immediately dashed into the bathroom.
A few minutes later, She ran down the stairs with her backpack and hurriedly went to the dining table.
" you are always late, and very irresponsible, and then for goodness sake will you learn to be useful huh?",
She ignored her mother's nagging and shoved two slices of bread into her mouth at a time, gulped down the tea, and ran out shouting,
" I love you all", she hopped onto her bicycle and rode off.
"This foolish girl", her mum said with gritted teeth,
" you shouldn't get worked up over her, she wouldn't change no matter how much you nagged", Bryan, her twin's brother said. They are twins but have only a few things in common and are not identical at all.
Bryan stood up and took his backpack," am leaving, I'm running late already",
" okay and make sure you guys return home early today, your dad will be home tonight",
" so soon?",
" I wonder also but I'm happy, you should be",
" of course", he smiled, "Okay bye", he pecked her and left. Stella walked back to the dining table and tidied it up before going to the bedroom to meet her sleeping baby who was sleeping peacefully in the cot. She smiled and couldn't stop appreciating the perfect family she had. Her first conceive was twins and that was Bryan and Amaya, the cute boy in the cot was her second child and she also had a loving and caring husband. A call drew her out of her thoughts, she checked the caller and smiled on seeing the name of her best friend displayed on the screen.
"Hello", she picked it up.
