Chapter 14 - Orb

Mira opened her eyes gently expecting to be at the hospital but instead, Mira discovered that she wasn't in the hospital.

She was somewhere unknown, the place was dark, cold, and void.

"Hello? Is somewhere in here?!!" She yelled standing up from the ground, though as she spoke, she heard echoes of herself.

A moment after, a projection of a video was revealed to her.

It was the video of when she was in that awkward place she entered, the dream she had, probably.

The video was showing the clip of her making a wish.

How was this possible?

"But-" Before she could speak further, a woman in a white long gown came in, she passed the projector shining like a bright light in the dark place.

Mira twitched her eyes trying to see the woman, she was pale, had blonde hair, her eyes were hazel, a bridged nose, and plump red lips.

The woman recognized who she was, it was, her mother.

"Mother," she called softly recognizing her mother, even if her mother died when she was just seven, she still remembered how her mother had looked like.

Not able to believe it, swollen tears fell from her eyes with a small smile crept on her face.

She ran to hug her mum cheerfully.

"Is this you, Mother?" She said in a silken voice as she embraced the woman placing her head on her chest, her mum pattered her back caressing her hair.

"Yes, I'm the one. I'm the one."

Her mum said sniffing her nose, after a few moments of a heart-to-heart embrace, the mum gently pushed her to look at her.

Mira raised her head to see her mother, and she saw a frown on her face.

"Mum, what's the frown about? What happened, mum?"

"That boy."

Mira furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.

"Mum," she forced a smile. "Who are you talking about?"

"You know, Mira. The wish you made came to pass right?"

"Mum, that was a dream."

Her mum shook her head.

"My darling daughter, you wished for the people you love in your life but then, it wouldn't come easily, if you want to live a normal life then you have to do one thing."

"What is it, mum?"

"You have to kill Justin, he's the danger in your life, Mira. If you don't kill that boy then he'll be the one to kill you, that's the price you have to pay for your wish." She paused holding Mira's hands that trembling.

"Kill Justin Maxwell and his species."

"Sp-species?"

Her mum placed her hands on her shoulder.

"Mira, he would be the one to kill you, Mira, so listen carefully, find the opportunity to get close to him so you could execute him, because of him, there would be a lot of trouble and you'll soon discover who you truly are, not this kind of Mira. The one who wouldn't be scared anymore, you'll find the truth about your past and who is your enemy and who isn't."

After she spoke in a terrified voice that hurried in speaking as she darted through Mira.

"Mira, listen, once you discover the truth about who you are, then kill Justin, remember to kill him and his entire species," she trembled, Mira looked confused seeing her reaction, and then, her mum was stabbed from the back as the knife she was stabbed with came out of her body.

Mira's eyes widened seeing her mother flinch spitting out a gallon of blood from her mouth.

She slowly fell to her knees, revealing the person that stared at her.

Those red eyes, the same person with red eyes.

"Ahhhhhh!!" Mira screamed jerking from her slumber.

Once she woke up, she was immediately attended to by Justin, who sat on the stool beside her bed.

**********

A woman was held in shackles on her hands and legs, looking old, held hostage for years.

She stared at the window revealing the winter environment as the snow fell on the trees that were in front of the window.

It was peaceful, silent, with gentle breathing, she had grey hair scattered as it was loose and about to fall out. Her face was already getting beyond old expecting her death anytime soon.

Her eyes were dull, and her appearance was seen as someone who hadn't bathed in years, as much as she woke up and slept, she was expecting her death but it didn't seem to come soon.

Dressed in a blue long gown, her legs could feel the temperature of the cold floor.

She heaved a deep breath then the door of the room opened as an elderly man entered.

His blue eyes scrutinized the room for the old woman, standing six feet and three inches tall, dressed in a black jacket and black trousers with boots, his hair was nicely styled by his stylist, and he looked handsome though he was old.

Without even saying a word, the old woman stared at the window as she chuckled.

"You have also seen it, history will repeat itself once again and this time," she spoke with her cracky voice as she turned to him pointing her finger that revealed her long nail at the man.

"Revenge, you vampires will all die! Your lineage will come to an end every single one of your organisms will have to die. Right from the head, your grandson, Justin. He will have to die." Saying it, she giggled exultantly.

Justin's grandfather stayed there speechless hearing what the old hag said.

This old witch hunter was the oldest of her species, they were creatures who were against the existence of vampires.

During the general battle between the vampires and the hunters, the vampires won the battle eventually they captured the leader of the hunters which is this old hag.

She was imprisoned in the hut for about two hundred years imprisoned away from the world. Along with capturing the old hag, the leader was given an orb which could predict the danger that was coming ahead for the vampires.

His grandfather received the orb since he was the leader at that time, and now, the orb was with him.

Because the orb hadn't glowed in years, he didn't bother to give his daughter when she was the leader.

But for the first time in hundred years, he walked to his study room to be welcomed with the sight of a blue glowing orb that was placed on his table.

He had to come here immediately to see if the old hag had escaped but as he could see, she was still there.

Now the question is, who is the vampire hunter? Who is going to come after the vampire lineage once again?
