After The Night 25 - Something Normal (Part 4)
"Nothing," He replied."Mr. Gilbert. Please, if you wish to chat with your girlfriend, you're allowed to leave the class," The professor taunted them, watching over the cat-eyed glasses covering her round nose.Nate blushed and lowered his gaze to the desk."Alright, then." She darted her gaze to the class in general and asked, "Tell me, class which mythical creature fascinates you the most?"A student yelled, "Krakens and witches!"“Vampires!” someone from the crowd answered, causing Professor Dove to smirk.Although Eira's first impression about her new professor was bad, by the end of her lecture she had become everyone’s favourite. She had the most amusing tales to share about how she had come across many vampires. The class had laughed, probably assuming there were just made-up stories but the confidence in which she had spoken stirred something suspicious inside of Eira.For a moment, she wondered if Dove knew about the vampires living in Orilon. But then she had read out from
After The Night 26 - Question of Loyalty (Part 1)
The drive back to the Carters mansion was a quiet one. Eira sat in the passenger seat silently contemplating as the tires ran smoothly over the grey road. Occasionally, Nate stole glances at her—she pretended to enjoy the scenic beauty of the sun going down. It was all an act at first but soon she unintentionally managed to enjoy it. The view was tranquil and gorgeous over the open fields on either side of the road. But it was over soon and she found herself looking at tall green trees. Darkness overwhelmed in a twinkling and brought along with it the cold winds. The car slowly lost speed before coming to a complete halt in front of a huge open gate. Through its metal bars, the great mansion stood divided into a hundred long slits. From the inside, the mansion appeared creepy, so vast like a maze, you could get lost in it, but from the outside, there was just one way to describe it—beautiful. Eira found herself lost in its grandeur—long, round stone pillars stood greeting visitors an
After The Night 26 - Question of Loyalty (Part 2)
Nate stirred in his seat at her words. "Are they heading here to attack us? Right now?" He raised his voice for the first time. That was how he was, he barely talked. He preferred listening quietly until the need to ask a question struck him.Trish shook her head and smiled sadly."That brings us to the good news. Until yesterday, I believed the thing was mythical but today he just showed up carrying a long bone and said that's the thing they had been looking for. But apparently, the artefact we found is incomplete. It's missing a part. The new alpha is positive he'll find it in a few days but even then, the plan isn't to attack until the next blood moon."Eira asked tentatively, "The Blood Moon? That's next month, right?"Trish nodded but a sour look covered her face. "On my twentieth birthday. Yes. Jake had promised me a wonderful date," She squealed and her eyes were lost somewhere else for a second. "B

"You're the one who doesn't know the full story. I asked Damien to get rid of Cameron, the former alpha."Something in the air shifted. The winds that were once gentle now blew harshly. Eira could feel the air nibbling at her open arms and she hugged herself while her mind absorbed the meaning of Trish's words. When the shock passed, she opened her trembling lips to speak but Nate beat her to it."What? Damien killed him because you said so?"Trish raised her arms in defence, "Well, I didn't ask him to kill the alpha. I'm not half as mad as Damien." She pressed her lips together and her eyes lowered to her feet when she continued, "Cameron—The alpha...He wanted to sacrifice the pack in a ritual to become immortal. I realised it now but he possessed the Videns viribus—perhaps the other part of it as well. It was going to play a part in the ritual. He ha
After The Night 27 - A Hall of Mirrors
The beast lurched forward with a growl. Its hairy arms pushed aside tree branches that blocked its vision. Sharp talons extending from its hands swayed across the air in an attempt to grab hold of the running target, but it missed by an inch. The shadow of his hunched figure easily towered over her. Under its heavy clawed feet, the twigs lying on the forest floor twisted and cracked. Even with slow steps, it managed to keep up with the girl's fast legs—just close enough but not about right.The full moon peeked from above but refused to provide any help to either the prey or her predator.Eira ran quicker when she heard another growl kiss her back. This dream was different—she knew it only a dream, but she knew she had to run. While in the former ones the beast had been farther away from her, this time it managed to get so close that its hairy fur brushed against her bare skin and claws buried themselves in her back, drawing three large slant-cuts. Blood oozed from
After The Night 28 - Questions and Lies
As soon as the waitress arrived with a steaming cup of black coffee and placed it on their table, Eira picked it up and took a sip.“Ouch!” She yelped when her tongue burnt. In the process of placing the cup back on the wooden table, she spilt some of the hot liquid on it earning a

Shortly after completing the blood-linking spell, Eira and Bella bid farewell to each other and parted ways. The former walked back to Ivywood High which was at the distance of five-minutes from the cafeteria and entered the underground parking lot.She strolled in the dark, empty area, headin

“No, Dana! You’re not listening to me,” Eira tried to reason with the young girl but her voice came out rough due to the rising frustration within her. “I asked you to tell me about Nate. Not Damien. Nate.”
