Chapter five- TYS' POV

Fates meet

I woke up from the most interesting dream I've ever dreamt. I met myself on a bed in my hotel room. The room was in disarray and my body was caked with dried blood. I tried recalling what had happened but the more I tried, the more my head ached. I sighed and rested my head back on the pillow.

I thought about the dream I had dreamt. In my dream, I was dead, lying in a field of green grass. Then I saw the most beautiful angel descend from heaven and she came to me. She held my head in her soft palms and planted a kiss on my lips. Then I saw a bright shinning light coming from afar. The light came nearer and I saw that it was fire. The fire engulfed both me and the beautiful angel. We both died and she became me and I became her.

The dream was symbolic of something but I couldn't place my finger on it. I don't feel like the man I was before the dream. That man was infused with a power I do not understand. The man I am right now is weak and sleepy.

I heard noise at the door and I tried standing up slowly, anticipating pain, but to my greatest surprise I stood up quickly and with renewed agility.

The door opened and two people came in. A man and a woman. The man was at the front and the woman was behind him. The man was grinning at me. He was tall, not as tall as me but an inch shorter than I am. He was very muscular and had blonde wavy hair. He was very pale, preternaturally pale for a human being. He walked towards me and slapped my back

"how are you my man?" he asked

"who are you?" I asked in suspicion, wondering why he looked familiar.

"we are your saviours" said the woman standing behind the man, moving from behind him and walking towards me. I stared at her in shock. She bore a unnatural resemblance to the angel in my dream. She was the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life. She was tall and had very beautiful hourglass shape. Her hair was blonde, packed in a messy bun, some strands of blonde hair have escaped and framed her angelic face. She had the emerald green eyes, fringed with long thick eye lashes. Her lips were full and pink. The angles of her face were beautifully cut and chiseled and she had very pale skin, almost luminous. She wore a black sweatshirt on a denim shorts and wore black boots, her legs were long and beautifully shaped. I felt so drawn to her in a weird way. In a way that supercedes sexual attraction. She stood before me and proffered her hands for a handshake. When we made contact, I felt shock pass through me, like a fire was consuming me. She withdrew her hands in haste. I looked at her and saw that she also felt the same shock I felt. The attraction was so great that my heart ached and beat twice as fast. I was sure they could hear it in Africa. I don't like this. It was obvious that this woman had a kind of power over me that I do not understand. She aroused in me a feeling so great it could make me lose control of my actions and thoughts. I hate not being in control of my life, It made me feel redundant like the way I used to feel with my family.

The man, who has been silent for long, cleared his throat loudly, making me aware of my surroundings and stopping my train of thoughts. I looked round the room and found out that the woman had moved very far from me, watching me from a distance like the way a lion watches a rat.

"how are you feeling now?" the man asked again.

"I'm fine...who are you? and what happened to me?" I asked in confusion.

"I am Lucian and that-" he said, pointing at the woman "-is Hera, my twin sister"

I nodded at this piece of information. No wonder he looked familiar. They looked very much alike. They both had blonde hair and pale skin and their face features were almost alike.

"we came to the hotel and met the reception area in shambles and a woman dead" Lucian explained to me.

I was shocked at this news " the receptionist is dead?" I asked in disbelief

"yes, she was lying dead in a pool of her own blood when we came in. Then some guys bundled you into a car and drove you to an abandoned building outside the city. We followed, and then dealt with them. Afterwards, we brought you back here. You were almost dead, so my sister healed you" Lucian finished.

"those guys were werewolves, what did they want with you?" asked Hera, glaring at me from afar with dreadful suspicion. I wonder why she seem to mistrust me so much.

"I don't know, I am not a werewolf, if that is what you are thinking. I came back from work yesterday and found everywhere in disarray, the last thing I remember was being hit on the head" I told her. She glared daggers at me, letting me know that she doesn't believe me.

"who is Amarog?" Lucian asked this time.

"my father...that is all I'm willing to say" I answered determinedly.

Hera hissed, showing fangs. What the fuck! She is a fucking vampire!. They are both vampires. And why the fuck does she hold so much animosity towards me?

"Easy, Herr, we have to respect his wishes" her twin said trying to calm her down.

"okay, it seems those guys have been following you for a long time, for whatever reasons. what is your name? you owe us at least that for saving your life."

"My name is Tys"

"nice to meet you, Tys "Lucian said. What a very nice guy. I shook his hands firmly and said" the pleasure is mine...and thank you for saving my life. I'm forever indebted to you and your sister." I said, bowing slightly to his sister. She didn't bother to acknowledge my gratitude, she just continued glaring at me.

Lucian nodded.

"you guys are vampires?" I asked

"yes, we are" Lucian answered.

"I see" I said looking at them with curiosity. When my eyes rested on Hera, my heart beat faster. Shit! why does she have such effect on me? it's weird.

"well, I think I have to look for some other place to stay" I told them awkwardly, and proceeded to pack my things.

"um, I think it will be safer for you to stick with us for a while, the leader of those werewolves we killed will definitely come for you, he escaped when we were fighting the others" Lucian told me.

"what the hell, Lucian? we can't be playing babysitter to a grown man. We didn't come here for that." Hera declared hotly.

"That's true, we didn't come here for that, but we can't just leave him alone, besides, I want to be around when that bastard comes back. He killed an innocent woman for god's sake, I want to kill him for that" Lucian replied

"well, that's true...I want to kill him too, and I guess we need him to do that" Hera conceded, throwing a condescending look at me.

"I do not need anybody to babysit me, I'm perfectly fine on my own" I said, not wanting to be the reason for their discord.

"it's fine, my brother is right, we have to stick together until that bastard comes back" Hera barked at me.

I nodded at her, trying to avoid her intense stare. I looked at my watch and suddenly remembered that I'm very late for work.

"shit, I'm late for work."

"where do you work?" asked Lucian.

"I work at a garage" I replied.

"okay, where is the place? we can come meet you there at the close of work, so we can proceed about what to do for accommodation" Lucian said, eyeing his sister, probably trying to get her approval.

I told them the address, got ready for work, bade them goodbye and left with the remainder of my belongings that has not been destroyed.

When I got outside the hotel, I took a deep breath, Having being with the vampires for so long a time had made me very uneasy. I do not trust them. Especially the lady.

She has some kind of weird power over me that I do not understand. Just looking at her was enough to stir some kind of feelings in me. But damn! I can't stop thinking about her. For some reasons, she hates me.

That's a first. Women are usually smitten with me, her hostility is something I do not understand.

Lucian is okay, I guess.

It is obvious that word has gotten around that the Alpha's misfit son has been banished and is now free game, that is why those bastards came after me.

I can bet the werewolf the vampires wanted to desperately kill was Brutus. He probably had discovered where I was staying and struck. It was a pity about the receptionist. She was not a good person but she didn't deserve to die.

She was the collateral damage in Brutus' games. Well, I won't give him the chance to kill anybody because of me again. He won't find me a fair game by the time I'm done with him. I will make sure he pays for killing that woman.

I have mixed feelings about teaming up with the vampires but I know I do not have any choice. They saved my life once, and I'm grateful. I do not wish to throw their help in the gutter.

I wonder what their story is. They look like they are also running from something. Like I am.
