A soft chant covered Teya’s ears as she woke, not sure how she fell asleep or when. All she remembered was being in the car with Dean and Sia feeling hurt by her betrayal. The car ride must’ve been extensive and the mere ride alone including the anxiety must’ve knocked her out. Her body felt warm though under the chanting and it was surprisingly soothing. There was something on her stomach, warm liquid and maybe something crunchy as she struggled to open her eyes.
“The baby will be healthy and ready for us, Enchantress. She has returned.” An older woman said in what seemed like a whisper in Teya’s ear. She struggled to open her eyes, but seemed paralyzed under the chanting.
“Tell me Dean since you found her how did this come to happen? A vampire and a witch mating is unheard of amongst us. How is it this child has come to be?” Now a more majestic like being spoke and Teya could feel the power flow from
Chapter 15The wind picked up under Teya’s feet and soft whispers of Syfa were guiding her way down the maze trail to freedom, back to her lover. It was saddening that Sia was set on pleasing these people that exiled her mother. Something Teya wouldn’t be able to understand or relate too. These witches weren’t her family. No one there knew anything about her.Once she finally admitted to herself though, she was one of them, it became easier to accept in her heart and it seemed the medallion opened up more to her, showing her incredible things that she could do. The medallion led the way as she ran from the past to the present touching the shrubs to guide her way. The exit was on the other end of the field. Freedom so close she could taste it. Before she could reach her hand out Dean blocked the way with Sia beside him.He tsked while shaking his head. “See Miss Daniels how special you are. How did you find out about the emergency exit d
Chapter 1“Lana, run!” The man screamed back to the woman holding the baby, who had stopped to catch her breath by a tree. He went back to check on her.“Kenneth, you must carry Ken. I can’t go on any longer,” she said, holding her chest with one hand, trying to get her lungs to catch up. Kenneth growled. “No! I won’t leave you. I love you, Lana. Our baby will make it. I will protect you both. I promised, didn’t I? You have to continue.”He kissed Lana on her forehead and placed his forehead against hers lovingly. He looked down at the baby; the new revolution of the vampire species. Vampires were not welcomed in these times, not even a half-breed like the child. Most people considered them a threat, and with the rebellion raging, Kenneth had to go on the run to protect the love of his life and their baby.“We must get the baby to Rosa and Allen. They will carry him south as planned, and we wil
Chapter 2Teya woke in a fright. Was everything she witnessed just a bad dream? She couldn’t stop the pounding in her head or the fast rhythm of her heart. She looked around noticing she was not at the frat house or in her apartment. She then saw the blonde from last night sitting next to the window as if soaking up the afternoon sun. Teya wanted to scream, but she knew screaming would be pointless. She tried to remain calm.“Are you keeping me here for the others to come get me?” she asked, her voice cracking. Only his eyes looked at her as he responded; his head continued to face the window.“I would’ve killed you last night if that were the case. You fainted,” he replied. Teya held her head.“What are you?” she asked. Ken smirked.“I can tell you are afraid. You saw them last night, didn’t you? Monsters, that’s what they are. Vampires,” he replied. Teya looked confus
Chapter 3As the night dragged on, with Ken dreading going back to the hell-house, he decided to take a long swim in a nearby river. A much-needed swim, considering his hard-on hadn’t faded since Teya’s scent had filled his nose. It was a great reminder for him, but would be terrible when around Allen. He soaked for a while, looking up at the night sky full of bright stars. Could it be possible for him to have a normal life? He pondered these thoughts more and more now, wanting the taste of freedom so badly. He had to think of something.After about an hour of planning, he dried off from his cold swim and headed to confront Allen. The house was as dark as always, filling Ken’s heart with dread. Allen sat in his old-style living room, drinking as if he were celebrating. Ken’s jaw twitched with anger.“Welcome back, Ken Baby,” Salina slurred, joining in Allen’s dark celebration, and throwing herself at Ken. It seemed she
Chapter 4Three months laterTeya sat on her bed, tapping away at her laptop and thinking of the man she’d spent the past three months with. He sat across from her, watching her work in silence. He’d kept all of his promises. He went back to her after he’d left the hell-house. And most importantly, the affection had never stopped. He tried to find new ways to show he cared for her each day.It was a bit unreal for Teya. He was way too perfect. It was winter now, so Ken bought a car to drive her to and from work, as well as other places around town. How he could afford it, she didn’t know. She’d asked him several times about it, but he would only kiss her and promise to explain someday.As for Ken’s daily tasks, he continued to seek the vampire hunters, gathering as much information as he could. At night, right before dawn, he would report his findings to Allen and come back to Teya. He would kiss her like she wa
Chapter 5Seventeen Years EarlierKen ran through the dark streets. Even at his young age, he already had the eyes of a man who’d seen too much. He was hoping to find someone who could help him get away from this madman. All he wanted was ice cream, but that was a mistake he knew he couldn’t afford to make again. His face was already bloody from one too many hits. He ran into the store and immediately headed for the freezer aisle. He was opening a jug of water when the store clerk caught him and began yelling. Thankfully, an older couple saw the poor kid being screamed at by the store clerk.“Hey, I’ll pay for whatever he takes. Just leave the kid alone,” the older man yelled back at the store clerk. The older woman walked closer to Ken.“Oh my gosh! Harold, he’s hurt! We have to take him to a hospital!” she screamed. Ken turned around, his eyes widening
Chapter 6“Thank God you’re alright,” Markees said, wrapping his arms around her as soon as she opened the door. Startled, she just patted his back, comforting him.“Why I wouldn’t I be?” she asked, confused.“I heard you were in the hospital,” Markees said, releasing her to inspect her neck for bite marks. “Was it that boyfriend with the blonde hair? He’s dangerous Teya. You can tell me if he—”“He didn’t,” she blurted out angrily, jerking away from him. “He wouldn’t do anything to hurt me.” Markees sighed, relieved.“How’d you know I was in the hospital?” she asked. Markees ran a shaky hand through his hair.“We’ve been watching you, of course. Ross and I,” he told her. Teya firmly tightened her lips. “It popped up in the database that someone had attacked you. I thought it was
Chapter 7Ken allowed the hot, steaming water to caress his body and soothe his soul, as he thought about the events of the past, and those to come. He knew he couldn’t trust Allen. He slammed the wall, but tried to refrain from breaking it. Teya was in even more danger now, but luckily, no full-blooded vampires could take him. Except Allen, he thought, growling. He had to be stopped somehow. Ken just knew that something wasn’t right, that something was off.Teya woke up searching for Ken. She looked around the bedroom, only to find him standing by the balcony door, watching the sunrise.“Hey, you,” she said, clearing her throat. She noticed Ken sway as he began to walk towards her. He was only able to accomplish three steps before his knees collapsed, sending him falling to the floor. Teya rushed out of the bed to help him.“Ken! What’s wrong?” she cried, panicked. He closed his eyes with frustra
