ETERNAL SHADOWS ~~ CASTLE
Lucian sped them into the house and he let go of her waist giving her a deadly glare.
"What did I do?" She asked blinking her eyes innocently.
"You let him hold your hand!" He said and she smiled.
"He wanted to take me home!" She said and he scoffed.
"I'm the one dropping and picking you up from work, got that!?!" He asked and she bowed playfully.
"Yes your hubbiness!" She said and he rolled his eyes.
She laughed before turning to go upstairs.
"Welcome master!" Gorya said to Lucian and he just nodded before looking at Ava.
His mind traveled to that man he saw staring at her and he frowned deeply before speeding upstairs.
Ava was in the restroom when he got to the room and he sighed before going to the terrace.
The night breeze blowing on his skin as he remembered something.
~~
"You should have listened to your mother!" A deep voice rented and the lady turned to him.
"I regret loving you Lucian!"
~~
He ran his fingers through his hair and closed his eyes before punching the railings.
"Hubby!" Ava called and he inhaled before facing her.
"What happened?!" She asked and he walked past her before entering the restroom.
He stared at his hand and surprisingly, it had blood on them.
He immediately turned on the tap and started washing it off but it didn't clean.
He stopped and looked back at the door. He opened it slowly and met Ava laying in her own pool of blood, dead.
He staggered and screamed.
"Noo!!!!!!" He yelled and blinked.
He was still in the bathroom. He looked at his hands and no single blood was on it.
He heard banging on the door...
"Hubby!!! Are you okay?!!" Ava asked.
He immediately opened the door and when he saw her standing there.
He smiled and pulled her in for a hug. Her eyes widened for a second before she reciprocated.
"You shouldn't have agreed to marry me!" He muttered sadly.
"You shouldn't have saved me and brought me to your castle then!" She said and he sighed before breaking the hug.
"Ava! I'm not the good vampire you seem to like! I have a very bad past and you wouldn't want to know about it!" He said and she smiled..
"It wouldn't matter cos I...." She stopped talking cos she fell into a trance.
~~
"Help!!! Someone!!!" A lady with blood covered on her body screamed in pain.
She was tied up.
The door opened and a vampire walked in with a head. She turned to look at him and her eyes widened.
That's the head of the lady's father.
"Daddy!!!!" She screamed struggling with the chains tears escaping her eyes..
He threw the head to another side of the room and sped to her with a smirk.
"You would have died when I killed you Lunã!" A voice said and the lady who was tied down looked up.
"Even if you kill me now, I will still keep reincarnating and I will come for you!" She said and the person smiled.
"I'll kill your next reincarnation just like how I killed your previous ones!" He said and stabbed the silver knife into her chest going straight to her heart.
She fell to the ground as her eyes shone a bright shade of golden. Her body went limp and her spirit left her body. Her eye color changed back to black.
~~
"Ava!!!" Lucian said shaking her and she blinked feeling an ache on her chest.
"Are you okay?!" He asked and she nodded slightly.
"I just had a weird...dream or vision! One of them!" She said and he stared at her.
"Let's go to sleep!" He said and she shook her head.
"Let's take some fresh air. I need it!" She said and he nodded.
"Same!" He said and sped to shower.
She sat on the bed with a thought running through her mind.
"Who is that lady?!" She asked and then she touched her chest that ached.
She looked at it and her eyes widened, a little blood was there.
"The hell!!" She said and stood before going to the mirror. She stared at it and she didn't see anything.
"I'm going crazy!!" She said and Lucian came back wearing an up and down night wear.
"Let's go!" He said and she nodded.
They went to the castle rooftop and laid on it staring at the stars.
Lucian looked at his palms and sighed sadly.
THE NEXT MORNING ~~ MERLIN'S RESTAURANT
Ava was cleaning the restaurant but then she stood looking lost.
Jason tapped her from behind and she looked at him.
"What's wrong?!" He asked..
"Honestly, I don't know! I'm just down and I have no idea why!" She said and sighed.
"Maybe some burgers will cheer you up!" He said handing a burger and she just stared at it.
She sighed again and shook her head.
"I'm not hungry!" She said and continued cleaning the table.
Customers began coming in and they went back into the kitchen.
"Smile Ava!" Jason said and she forced a smile before leaving the kitchen.
The man was here again with a small smirk playing on his lips. He called for her and she rolled her eyes before going to her.
"What do....."
"I'm going to have you sweetie! Mark my words!" He said.
"Honestly speaking, I'm so not in the mood for your bullshit, I can be dangerous when angry. You wouldn't want that!" She said and he stood up leaving with a small smirk.
She rolled her eyes and went to answer some other customers.
It was noon and customers just left.
Ava and the rest were sitting on the chairs talking when Merlin came to Ava.
"Hello dear! We have a delivery at Donna's street, apartment 45! Could you help me deliver it?" She asked her and Ava nodded taking the delivery box from her.
Food was already packed inside.
"Yes ma'am!" Ava said and stood.
"Here's transport! Hurry please, the customer doesn't like to wait!" She said and Ava nodded collecting the money before dashing out of the place.
She hailed a cab and entered it. It took her to the house and she kept the change for going back to the restaurant.
She rang the doorbell but instead of replying, the door opened with no one there.
"Hello?!" She called and stepped into the house.
The door closed immediately and she turned to see the man putting on only shorts.
"Eww!" She said squeezing her face and he frowned.
"You don't like what you see huh?!" He asked.
"My husband has more abs and biceps than you. Yours is very disgusting!"
"Watch your mouth young lady! Go lay on the bed in the room!" He said and she just stared at him.
"I said go!" He said and locked the door.
She rolled her eyes before opening the box. She threw the food at his face.
"Argh!" He yelped in pain as some of the food entered his eyes. She ran into the house in search for the backdoor.
She opened it and was about to pass when he pulled her backwards by her hair.
She winced before grabbing his hand, she flipped him over and he landed on the ground groaning in pain.
She brought out a knife and aimed it at him.
"I have a knife and I'm not afraid to use it!" She said glaring daggers at him..
'End him!!!!!' Her subconscious yelled and she shook her head....
'I can't do that. He'll know am not human if I do so! Plus ion wanna kill anyone!' She replied.
'Then I'm calling Lucian!' Her subconscious mind said and she sighed..
The man stood up and carried a stick before using it to hit her but she dodged.
'Hubbyyyy!!!!!!' Her subconscious yelled.
A punch met with her jaw and she fell to the ground. He pulled her up by the shirt and she headbutted him making him let go of her.
She stood and smiled.
"Hubby, be fast!" She muttered staring at the man who's rubbing his forehead.
She didn't hit him that hard so he isn't bleeding.
She remembered what he did to Chloe and she frowned before rushing to him.
She kicked his jaw and he flew backwards.
GARBERVILLE ~~
Lucian was walking through the small town looking at everything around.
He walked to a garden and he stared at the grasses that already started growing.
This is where the werewolf ended his brother. That's a day he would never forget.
"Hubby!!!!!!"
He frowned when he heard Ava's voice.
"How's that even possible!" He muttered and turned before speeding out of Garberville and into the city.
He ran the remaining distance and went into the restaurant.
"Where's my wife?" He asked and Merlin stood.
"She went to deliver lunch to a customer. She'd be back soon!" Merlin replied and Lucian frowned hard.
"Where's the place?!"
"Donna's street, apartment 45!" She said and he left the place immediately.
He walked fast using his eyes to search for the street. He found it and began searching for apartment 45 which he found.
He rang the doorbell but got no response. He tried opening it but it was locked.
Ava looked at the door and smiled widely.
A rolling pin hit her head immediately and she fell to the ground bleeding.
"Don't you dare heal!" She warned the wound as if it could hear her.
He smirked and began walking to her.
Just then, the door flew open and Lucian sped into the apartment grabbing the man by the neck hard.
He began coughing blood as his feet left the ground.
"W..what a..are y..you?!" He stuttered.
"You'll find out!" Lucian said with a small smirk hanging on his lips.
His eyes turned red instantly and the man's eyes widened.
Ava's wound healed and she stood as well with her eyes glowing golden.
"You both aren't normal?!!!" He said shockingly and Lucian's grip tightened.
"Did he touch you wife?" Lucian asked and Ava smiled.
"He pulled my hair hard hubby!" She said with a cute pout and Lucian smirked hard.
"With which hand?"
"His right!" She replied and he threw him towards the dining room.
He fell on the table and Lucian held his right hand staring at it.
Within an instant, he was holding a knife.
"No please!" He said struggling to break free.
"You wouldn't have touched her!" Lucian said and slit off his five fingers.
"Arghhhhhhh!!!!!" His painful scream rented the whole apartment.
