“What...who are you?” she asked in fear “I'm a vampire” he replied simply and she burst into laughter “vampire? Really?” she paused and studied him carefully “I believe in angels and demons, I believe in God and Satan but vampires?” she chuckled again before saying “vampires aren't real” He watched her for a long time, shrugged and said “okay” then he vanished Hadassah was a young graduate who still lived with her parents. She works as a detective, she is excellent at her job and loved by all her colleagues. She isn't afraid of getting her job done but recently, people are mysteriously disappearing and many people believe it has something to do with the old cemetery as they claimed they've been seeing a figure of a man standing at the window and dead bodies of people hanging on the rusty gates with mysterious marks on their necks. When Hadassah is appointed to find out the mystery behind the sudden disappearance, she has to decide if she would let her recent dreams, loss or a mysterious pale-looking, handsome stranger get in the way of her job. Aamon has an unexplainable love for the darkness, he frequents an abandoned old house in the cemetery. The house cast a spooky glow on the street it was and it was rumored to be haunted. It was known to host all kinds of wild creatures including a vampire... Every night, Aamon awakens from his coffin of a bed to stare out his window and no he's not just starting into space, he's watching her
View More“I tried to warn you Hadassah, you shouldn't have kept on with the case. Now you've walked right into our trap.” Isabella said in a calm voice.The vampire guy was staring at her with an evil grin.“Trap? Bella? Can you please tell me what's going on?” she asked, while calmly reaching for the gun tucked behind her.Isabella cackled. It was a strange sound as Hadassah had never heard her cackle before. She sounded older and very unlike herself and Hadassah knew she was dealing with something deeper than she thought.The vampire guy was swiftly in front of her. He looked into her eyes, his own eyes glowing red and whispered, “sleep” in a trance-like voice and she found herself succumbing to his voice as her brain began to shut down and her eyes grew so drowsy, she could not keep them open even if she struggled to.***************She woke up in so much pain in her abdomen that she could not straighten herself for a while. The pain was so excruciating, it travelled to her lower back just
“Tea?” he offered but she glared at him, her eyes telling him that she wasn't here for any form of pleasantries.“Alright then, we'll skip the tea” Aamon added as he took a seat.She sat across him, leaned forward and then said “now, talk”“Is that a command?” he asked playfully, trying to lighten the mood of the atmosphere but Hadassah didn't smile.“I'm not here to joke, Aamon. I want answers”He sighed in resignation and then started talking.“Yes, it was me who bit him. He's not John and the reason he didn't die was because he wasn't the first person I bit after becoming a vampire. See, the thing is, as a vampire, human blood is a necessity for us. There's just no way around it. We can try to substitute it with animal blood for a while, but after some time, our bodies begin to demand human blood. It's like our vitamins”He paused to see how she was takin
Hadassah’s POVI waited for the pain to come, letting my life flash before me. So this was it for me? I didn't realize I'll be dying this young. There are so many things I haven't done and would probably never get to do again. I didn't even get to tell my mum goodbye, she'll probably be worried and after finding out what happened to me tonight, I doubt she'll be able to function well. I guess this is what I get for blindly trusting a vampire.Tears streamed down my face as I readied myself for the pain about to come.I waited…I waited…And waited…But nothing seemed to be happening.What the hell is happening? Is biting really that painless, because I don’t feel anything? I should be on my way to maybe heaven or hell by now but for some reason, I’m still here, I can still feel my physical body, only without the weight of his hands again.I opened my eyes slowly to see him looking at s
She knew she saw the right thing. How would she not know what a woman's back looked like? She was a woman herself so it's very unlikely that she won't know what a female's back looks like. She also saw that the woman had waist-length brunette hair.“Whoever you are, I'm going to get you” she whispered to herself.************Hadassah sat in her dimly lit office in the night, most of her co-workers had gone home, including Isabella. The glow of the desk lamp casted long shadows on the stacks of case files piled high around her. The room was heavy with the scent of stale coffee and the weight of unanswered questions. She had been working tirelessly on the mysterious case of the missing people week after week, losing sleep, only to be met with dead ends at every turn.The victims, all seemingly unconnected, had vanished without a trace. Days passed by, and soon their lifeless bodies were discovered in front of the abandoned building, some were even found the next day. Their bodies disc
Hadassah’s POVIt was a chilly, gloomy rainy day, we all stood with our umbrellas under the rain to bury the man who was once known as my father.I watched as the coffin was laid gently into the ground, my mother's sobbing intensified as the coffin lowered.I gave her shoulder a gentle squeeze as it continued to shake violently. I couldn't cry, I don't know why the tears are refusing to fall. I guess I've held it in for so long, they've formed a lump in my chest.This just got personal! I thought.Whoever was behind the killings just crossed the line. They think they've won, but the war was just starting.I looked around, taking in each of the faces present. They were a few close relatives, some friends, neighbors and colleagues from work, nothing odd but I'm sure we were being watched.I'll catch the killer, that's for sure. No matter how long it takes, I'll catch the person.***************I felt him, even before he made himself visible, the gust of wind gave his arrival away. He m
Her blush deepened as they kept staring at each other. He looked serious for a while before a playful grin spread across his lips.“Relax, I was joking, I told her you were working on a case and that you’ll get back to her once you’re available”“Did you tell her what case I was working on?”“Yeah I told her you were working on the abandoned building. Any problem?”“No, no problem. I have to call her back now, she’ll be worried sick”She picked up her phone and called her mother.__________“Who were you with last night?” Isabella asked eyeing her suspiciously. Hadassah froze momentarily then tried to mask her surprise with confusion.“Wh—what do you mean? I'm confused”“Your mum called me yesterday, well midnight to be precise. She wanted to know if we were working on the case together. I told her no but that I'll ask Reynolds and Gerald…”“And?”“I called them but they said they weren’t with you but someone answered your phone and told your mum that you guys were together so who w
“So what happened after that?” she asked “I realized what I had done but it was too late. He was dead and I couldn't undo it. I wept and when I didn't know what else to do, I ran away”“You ran away?”“Yeah, I didn't want what happened to John to happen to anyone else close to me especially not my family but they were getting worried, the news was filled with my missing posters, I just had to go back home. I was missing for four days. I went into the woods, I learnt to keep my appetite for human blood under control so I wouldn't hurt anybody again. And it worked until my family died, then I went wild. I killed those responsible for their death and their families too. My appetite became insatiable after that. I've spent more than a hundred years learning to curb that and that's why you can sit here in front of me without any fear”“Who told you I'm not afraid?” she asked “If you are, you're doing a good job of hiding it. Your heart is beating normally”She smiled before replying “did
“You came?” Aamon said with a relieved expression as he extended his arms out for a hug. She hesitated but then retaliated. Hugging him felt like she was in a safe haven. His body was firm, his grip on her was steady and he smelled of death mixed with blood and a little bit of earth.She disengaged from the hug and took one step back to scan him from head to toe. He was in all black as usual, his hair looked greasy than the last time she saw him, the strand of hair still fell over his face and he looked even paler, he stood like royalty. His entire movement was slow and graceful but the aura that emanated from him was mesmerizing, it was like danger mixed with seduction.“Was there ever a doubt?” She asked “A little, yeah” he answered honestly “Well, there shouldn’t be” He smiled for the first time and she had to admit, he looked even more mesmerizing when he smiled. His pure white fangs were more visible that way and watching it made her neck itch for some reason.“So…” she star
“I told you!” Hadassah whispered to Isabella and she looked up at her with a suspicious look “Told me what?”“That something supernatural is going on. I finally got to the bottom of it, not the whole thing really, I think I might have stumbled upon another mystery but I managed to solve a personal mystery. The person who's been watching me all this while is not in my head, he's real and you'll never guess what he is”Bella sighed in exasperation “a vampire?”“A handsome vampire. God, Bella, you need to see him, he was breathtaking, those fangs, his eyes, it was like looking into hell fire. So intensely wicked yet so beautiful….”“Are you okay? Did you bump your head or something?”Hadassah rolled her eyes “Do I sound like I'm hallucinating?”“YES! You do sound like you're hallucinating, you've lost your damn mind. Are you aware that you're obsessed with a fictional character…”“He's not fictional…!”“Vampires aren't real!”“He's real! I saw him, he was in my bedroom and he spoke to
