ETERNAL SHADOWS ~~ CASTLE
They broke the kiss to catch their breath and he used his thumb to caress her wet lips.
She stared at him and when his gaze went to her, her heart skipped.
She suddenly remembered the girls she saw and tears welled up in her eyes.
"What's wrong?!" He asked and she started crying.
"I'm sorry for not listening to you. I'm sorry for yelling at you back there!" She said and his thumb left her lips.
He frowned before pulling her in for a hug.
Her head rested on his chest and her hands went to his back.
"I'm sorry!"
"Don't!" He said and she bit her lips sniffing.
"Can I kill them?" He asked and she sniffed again.
"No!"
"Too bad I will!" He said and she broke the hug staring at him with a small smile.
"You're copying me!" She muttered and he scoffed.
"I will kill them Ava. They hurt you and I clearly warned them!" He said his eyes darkening.
"Don't worry about it anymore. I'm not going back to the cities again!" She said with a pout.
He smiled slowly.
"You just had to learn it the hard way!" He said and she punched his arm.
"Stop" She said and wiped her tears.
"We're going back there tomorrow!!" He said.
"Hubby!"
"What? Won't you tell Merlin you're quitting?" He asked.
"Ohh! Okay we'll go together!" She said with a grin and he nodded.
"Why did you kiss me again in the room?" He asked and she chuckled.
"You kissed me first and you didn't even let me reciprocate before breaking it. That's not how they kiss yunno. I have more things to teach you!" She said and winked before going to the restroom.
He smiled and then frowned remembering the faces of the girls.
Ava came out wearing a black T-shirt and bum short.
"Go shower, I have a surprise!" She said and he sped into the restroom.
She smiled carrying the blanket.
After some minutes, he came out wearing his usual night wear.
"Let's go!" She said and he walked over to her.
"But first...!" She said and went to his back jumping on him.
He groaned.
"Get off!!"
"No! I want a piggy back ride!!" She said and he scoffed before arranging her on his body.
He was about to walk when she used her leg to hit the side of his waist.
"Heyy!!!!" He snapped.
"Giddy up!!" She said with a grin and he just stood.
"Hubby!!!" She called bringing her face close to his ear.
"Let's go!" She whispered her hot breath tickling his ears.
"I'm not a horse so apologize for saying giddy up!" He said and she laughed.
"Sorry your hubbiness!" She said and he chuckled.
"Whatever!" He said and started walking.
He left the room heading downstairs.
He dropped her on the couch and he sat down as well.
"What's the surprise?" He asked and she took the remote before turning the TV on. 'His Heartbeat' by Vera just started.
"This!" She said and paused the show.
She stood rushing to the kitchen. She carried a bottle of blood and brought out two glass cups before turning it into them.
She took the glass cups and came back handing Lucian a glass. He took it and she sat on the couch as their attention went to the TV.
"This is stupid!" He said and she looked at him.
"What do you mean?"
"How can someone be allergic to women?!" He asked and scoffed.
She hit him with her elbow and he sent a frown her way.
"It's not his fault!! Blame his stupid father and his secretary!" She said.
"Humans are also wicked to their kind!" He said and she remembered something.
She sighed sadly gulping down the glass of blood.
"I told you we should kill them, you don't want to agree!" He said drinking from his glass.
"They were my friends, it ain't easy yunno!" She said and he sighed.
He pulled her closer to him by the waist and she looked at him.
"Rest your head!" He said and she blinked before smiling.
She wrapped her arms around him and rested her head on his shoulder staring at the TV.
"I just said rest your head!" He muttered with an eye roll.
"You and I know I do the opposite of what you tell me!" She said and he chuckled.
He looked down at her and let out a small smile before dropping the glass. He wrapped his arms around her as well before focusing on the movie.
UNKNOWN MANSION ~~ CALIFORNIA
Everyone ran into the house and the last person locked the door.
The leader who was at the stairs smirked.
"You knew what you were doing when you said we could go bring her!!!!" Clara, the one assigned by the leader said.
"You were too eager to kill her, I guess she taught y'all some lessons!!" Damien, the leader, son of Thomas's friend who despised vampires. The one who tried chopping off Ava's neck at the woods.
"You should have been patient!" Chloe said her broken arm hurting badly.
"Oh shut up!" Clara glared at her.
"Now we go back to our main mission, finding where she resides! Apparently, you girls ain't gonna do the trick so I think I'll step in this time.!" Damien said and Chloe scoffed.
"I doubt she'd come back to the human world!"
"She will! She's Amy's friend and we might as well use her as bait!" He said.
"What if it doesn't work?!" Clara asked.
"We'd go with my second plan!" He said and explained it to them.
They let out a small smile.
"You guys should go treat yourself!! And don't bither leaving this mansion except you want to visit the cemetery!" He said and they nodded before leaving.
"Ava!" He muttered and smirked deeply.
REDWOOD FOREST ~~ CALIFORNIA
"I found where she lives!" Desmond said rushing into Lucas's room.
"Finally!!!" He said standing up from the couch.
Desmond told him the location and Lucas let out a small laughter.
"Send some werewolves there!!! I'll join y'all soon!" He said and Desmond nodded before leaving.
Lucas smirked deeply.
THE NEXT MORNING ~~ ETERNAL SHADOWS ~~ CASTLE
Lucian was sitting at the dining room when a knock sounded on the door.
It was the guard who knocked. He already knew Rina was outside with the guard.
"Let her in!" He muttered and Rina came in.
He stood facing her.
"What are you doing here?!" He asked.
"Some werewolves attacked the clan today but I and the vampires killed them!" She said and Lucian frowned.
"How did they find this place?!"
"It's Ava who told them!" She said.
"She was with me all through!!" He said and she scoffed.
Ava yawned rolling on the bed. She opened her eyes and looked around before sitting up.
"Why am I in the room?!" She thought out loud.
'He took you here! Obviously!!' Her subconscious said and she rolled her eyes.
"Whatever!!" She muttered and then she heard Rina's voice from downstairs.
She opened the door stylishly and listened to what she was saying.
"Why did you still marry her when you know who she is?!" Rina asked.
"None of your business!"
"You know I love you Lucian but you still went ahead to get married to her!! That's not fair!!" She said angrily.
"I don't love you Rina! I don't do love!" He said.
"Then why the heck did you marry her?!!!"
"I owe you no explanation!" He said with a frown and she blew out air from her mouth.
"Okay fine. But you haven't mated with her right?!!" She asked and he just stared at her.
Ava smirked and rushed to Lucian's closet. She brought out his T-shirt. She took off her clothes and wore his shirt which stopped at her mid thigh. She scattered her hair with her hands before leaving the room.
"If I did, what happened?" He asked and she frowned.
"She'll be the one to kill you why can't you just listen!!!" She yelled and Ava frowned before walking to Lucian.
"I can't kill my hubby!" She said with a smile and Rina stared at her with a confused look.
Ava walked to Lucian and put an arm on his shoulder.
"What's she doing here?" She asked him.
"She came to disrupt my peace!" He muttered and Ava looked at Rina.
"Why the hell does she look like that?!!' She asked Lucian and he let out a small smirk.
"No!" She muttered stepping back.
"Don't tell me you guys....."
"Yeah we did! What you gonna do about it?!" Ava cut in and Rina's eyes turned red.
"No!!!" She yelled and sped to her.
Ava's eyes glowed and she kicked her backwards. She flew out of the house due to the force of the kick.
"Guards!!! Take her out of here!!" Shs told them and they looked at Lucian whom nodded.
They carried Rina up before throwing her out of the castle and then they locked the gate.
She stood and ran to the gate..
"Lucian!!! Let me in!!!! Luciannn!!!!!!!!" She screamed and the guards turned to her.
"Leave Rina!" Yuki said.
"No!"
"Ava is stronger than before Rina. I suggest you leave now else you'd leave with a broken body part!" Zuko said.
"It's not possible!" Rina said with a smirk.
"Did you forget she's thé fàted lunã??!!" Gorya asked walking to the gate.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Lucian is the only one that can kill her! Fighting her is futile so go home!" She said and Rina chuckled.
"I'll make sure he kills her himself!" She said with a smirk.
"Even if he wants to, he can't do it!" Gorya said and let out a smirk before leaving.
Rina bit her lips and looked back at the guards who gave her a mocking smile.
She rolled her eyes and sped away.
~~
Lucian spoke with the guards to tell everyone in the city to get ready to leave tonight and they sped off going to deliver the news.
He sped back into the castle and went to the terrace having a frown on his face.
Ava went to shower and now she's out wearing a black cropped hoodie and a black short skirt. She was in front of the mirror drying her hair.
"You really made her jealous!" Lucian said from the terrace and she let out a chuckle.
"I'm glad I did!" She said and used a comb to brush her hair.
Lucian showered already so he's waiting for her to finish.
She packed part of her hair and let some fall behind. She brought out two strands of hair in front and she smiled before facing him.
"Let's go and please be on your best behavior!" She said and he turned the side of his face to her.
"That's if I don't see anyone of them!" He said and she sighed.
He stood straight and walked to her.
"Let's go!" He said and she nodded. They both left the room heading downstairs. They settled down at the dining table and Gorya served breakfast which they ate. After some minutes, they were out of the castle.
He held her hand and sped them out of Garberville. They arrived at the city and Ava sighed.
"I'm gonna miss it!" She muttered.
"I won't! Let's move!" He said and she scoffed as they walked into it.
MERLIN'S RESTAURANT ~~ CALIFORNIA
Ava pushed opened the door and Merlin greeted her with a smile.
"Can we talk please ma'am?" She asked and Merlin nodded.
"Let's go to my office!" Merlin said and they both walked in.
"So what is the matter?!" She asked and Ava bit her lips.
"I want to quit!" Ava said and Merlin's eyes widened for a second.
"Why?!"
"We're moving out of the city!" Lucian said and she looked at him before smiling.
"For your honeymoon yeah?" She asked and Ava bit her lips.
"Well...."
"Yes!" Lucian cut in and Ava smiled.
"Okay when you return, make sure you visit me alright, even though you won't come back to work!" Merlin said and Ava smiled a little.
"I'm sorry for leaving!"
"There's no problem. I enjoyed your stay here!" Merlin said and Ava smiled coming to hug her.
Merlin stood and welcomed the hug with a smile.
"I'll miss you!"
"Me too!" Ava said and broke the hug.
"Bye now!" She waved and Ava smiled sadly.
She looked at Lucian and blinked back her tears before walking out of the restaurant.
Her gaze darkened when she saw Chloe coming in. Her broken hand was bandaged already. Chloe stopped walking immediately.
Ava walked to her standing in front of her.
"Yunno I should regret helping you arrest the man who almost had his way with you but, I don't. What I regret doing is being your friend. Stay the hell away from me Chloe cos..."
"I won't stop her from killing you next time!" He completed Ava's word and Ava smirked at her.
"Adiosss!" Ava said and walked past her.
Lucian stopped in front of her and she gulped.
"Thank your stars my wife told me not to kill you else you won't be staring back at me right now!" He said and walked past her.
She released the breath she was holding and saw Jason.
Jason sent her a deadly glare before pushing past her going after Ava.
They got outside and Jason called Ava making her turn back.
"You ain't coming back?" He asked sadly.
"Yes!"
"I'll miss you!" He said and Ava kept quiet.
"Can I get a hug please before you finally go?!" He asked and Lucian looked at Ava. She looked at him and bit her lips.
"Don't make it last 2 minutes!" Lucian said and she nodded.
She walked to him and he pulled her into a hug his hands going to her waist.
Ava hugged him back.
After a minute, she wanted to pull out of the hug but he didn't let her.
"Jason!" She said trying to pull out of it.
"Please just a minute more!" He said and she frowned before holding him by the shoulders, she pushed him back forcefully.
"Goodbye!" She said and turned going to Lucian.
"You're gonna have a bath when we get home!" He said as they started walking away.
"Hubby!" She said while laughing.
Amy's car pulled over beside her and she turned. Amy came down and Ava stopped walking looking at her.
"You're really leaving?!" She asked tears welling up in her eyes.
"I'm sorry!" Ava muttered and she sniffed.
"I'm sorry for what my friends did the other day! It won't happen anymore!" She said and Ava sighed.
"I'm not upset. But I am glad I made a pretty cool friend which is you by the way!" Ava said and Amy smiled as the tears left her eye lids.
"Promise you'd come back!" She said and Ava bit her lips.
"I can't promise you but I'll try to visit you soon!" Ava said and she started crying.
Ava bit her lips before walking closer to her. She pulled her in for a tight hug.
"I will visit you soon I promise!" Ava said and Amy hugged her back.
Amy sniffed wondering why she's feeling so hurt because of someone she just met. When she said she knew her, she said it it cos that's what her gut told her.
They broke the hug and she sniffed.
"Thank you!" Ava said with a smile and Amy smiled in reply.
"Goodbye!" Amy said and Ava waved at her before walking away with Lucian.
"I feel like crying!" Ava muttered and he looked at her.
"Why?!"
"Cos I'd miss Miss Merlin and Amy! These are the only two I care about here!" She muttered.
"You'd see them again!"
"I hope so!" Ava said.
"Your people attacked today!" He said and she stopped walking.
"What?!!"
"They found where we reside in!" He said.
Ava's eyes widened and slowly she frowned.
"They didn't hurt anyone!" He said.
Her eyes glowed and Lucian sighed.
"Calm down!"
"Don't tell me that!!!!" She growled angrily.
Ava turned and was about to speed off but then she looked back at Lucian.
"Don't follow me!" She said coldly and he smirked.
"Don't kill anyone Ava! Control yourself!" He said and she sped out of there.
Lucian sighed and then he sighted Clara entering a cab. He smirked before walking speeding to the front of the cab.
"Fvvk!!!!" The driver said as his car hit Lucian who didn't move a muscle.
The front of the cab was badly damaged.
"Don't hurt me please!!!" The man said coming out.
Lucian stood in front of him and stared into his eyes.
"You will forget what just happened and this lady here will pay for the damages which were caused by you hitting a tree!" He said and his eyes glow red before going back to normal.
"Give him money for repairs!" Lucian said coldly staring at Clara who was trembling in the car.
"Now! I don't have time!!" The driver yelled and she handed him some cash before getting down the car.
The man entered the car and drove off leaving Lucian and Clara all alone.
He let out a dangerous smirk.
REDWOOD FOREST ~~ CALIFORNIA
Ava sped into the forest and broke through the gate speeding to her parents mansion.
She broke the door and met them in the living room with some ministers.
Lucas looked at her and then he sent the ministers away.
Ava's eyes were still golden as she stared at her father whom stood up.
"That's rude of you barging into my house!" He said and she sped to him giving him a punch to the face.
He flew backwards landing in the kitchen.
"Ava!!! What are you doing?!!!" Luciana yelled.
"I warned you and Father!!! I warned y'all not to near my husband's clan but you did!!!!!!" She yelled.
Lucas stood up and his eyes glowed golden. He walked to her standing in front of her and he let out a small smirk.
"There's nothing you can do now dear! We've found where those creatures are and we're coming to eliminate them!" He said and she stepped back.
"I'm going to kill you!!!!!!!!!!" She yelled in different voices and her dad stepped back a bit.
A punch was directed to his face and he flew back breaking through the kitchen wall landing on the ground outside.
Ava's claws came out same as her fangs and wolf ears.
Her mum stared at her feeling scare already
