Episode 3~4

LIBERTY CLINIC*

Gianna and Veda rush into the ward and met Tasha awake,she was sitting like a dull,her hands hugging each other. Her head was bandage due to the fall.

"I didn't believe when Zara told me,girl..what in the world happened?" Gianna ask still stunned. She walk to seat beside Tasha on the bed. While Veda stood resting her back on the wall close to the door,her gaze were fixed on Tasha like she could see through her.

"Say something!" Gianna said impatiently. Tasha hug her tightly.

" Am scared, am really scared" She cried.

The fact that he came back after six years was scaring the hell outer her.

She waited for him back in highschool,vigilant. But he never did,how happy she was that he was gone. But he suddenly reappears. She could remember his words,those words she has long forgotten about four years ago are now replaying in her head,screaming like he said them just yesterday.

YOU ARE MINE,MINE TO RUIN AND DESTROY,DEAR SEVENTH MATE.

She burst into another round of tears.

He is no human..she has clearly saw him six years ago..those long nails,sharp long teeth..what are they? Claws and fangs,red eyes,he is a vampire..she believed they exist on meeting him. But what does he want from her,she doesn't know.

"Oh good lord. You are scaring me,Tasha." Gianna said worried.

" He..he came back..i saw..him,it him,the beast" She stammer still hugging Gianna like a child who crave mothers protection.

" He? Who is he? Who came?" Gianna was confused but Veda understood immediately.

Back in highschool,they were borders. Veda and Tasha were both in same room,when Tasha was always screaming BEAST in her sleep,Veda decided to ask her what the problem was,normally Gianna wouldn't believe if she was the one told but Veda believed..it felt like she knew they existed.

Tasha shut her eyes,his image has refused to leave her mind,that alone scares her. What if her nightmares start again,of course it has already started. She's not sure she can sleep alone as it stands now.

"Why don't you get her lunch,it noon,Zara said she didn't have breakfast" Veda said,her aim was to get Gianna out if the room.

" I will do just that. Let go off me" Gianna said calmly,Tasha break the hug,her red and swollen eyes met with that of Veda's whose gaze gave her assurance that she will be fine.

" Stop crying already,you look horrible right now" Gianna muttered,she sigh and walk out to get the meal.

Veda slowly walk to her,

"I did saw him,he is my tutor. Dad is out of the country,i need to contact him..."

" To talk him into relocating again?" Veda question.

" What else can i do. He is here in London" Tasha stated,she palm her face .

" He is not here in London,Veda said,Tasha look at her "He is everywhere,everywhere you are,he is there. Tasha,even of you run to the end of the world he'd find you. I advice you just ask him what he want" Veda said.

"Are you insane?" Tasha yelled.

"You don't know him,do you even believe me when i said he was beast?" He is a vampire...

" I know. But he obviously want something from you" Veda said,calmly.

Tasha scoffed.

How brave Veda is is to just blurt the word without fear. Well she didn't expect her to feel it,she didn't see his eyes,claws and fangs,Veda wasn't there when he said those tormenting words to her.

"I won't be going home tonight,can i stay in your place?" Tasha said pleadingly.

" It your place as well,no need for permission" Veda reply.

Tasha nod,she relax on the bed staring at the ceiling.

What does he want from her? Could Veda be right,but what if he wants her life... His to ruin and destroy,isn't that enough to tell her he wants her dead.

Oh good lord,how did she ended up in such a life where movies vampires tends to exist.

VAMPIC FALL, LAZARUS PALACE*

Lazarus was at the balcony,dressed in a fine royal robe,he held a glass of red wine which he relentlessly sipped from.

From the balcony he could see the whole of vampic fall,it a sky scrapping building,it the tallest and largest in the whole kingdom.

Hunter walk in,he bow his head.

"Highness,you have class..."

Lazarus hard glare shut him up.

" Are you stupid?!" He thunder.

" Am sorry,i was rude" Hunter went on one knees. Lazarus scoff returning his gaze back at the city.

"How is D'Arcy doing lately?" He ask.

" The prince has been in his room lately,i heard he cried all night on his mother tomb" Hunter answered. Lazarus grip tighten on the glass he held.

"You may leave" He said,calmly but commanding.

"Yes" Hunter said and exited the room.

"It won't take long,i am almost at the point of bringing them back,by then you will understand everything better." He mutter. He stare at the sky,his eyes red.

" b***h! I will kill you soon. He spat ,a loud laughter echoed" That's goddess Sitara.

"I dare you to laugh again" He growl,how he wish to kill this damn goddess.

"Why waste your breath on me,go and claim your mate" Her voice sounded like the rushing of many waters.

"You will die soon,it a promise" Lazarus stated.

" So says a king without throne and staff" She laugh again. Lazarus anger increased,he disappeared and appear at the Realm of light,the goddess's home.

The servants all wearing whites bow as he walk in with rage. He got to her castle where he met her sitting majestically on her throne.

"Arrogant brat,you came so quick" She smile,her face was covered with sparks of light,she wore a white royal gown,golden crown and a golden staff on her hand.

"I swear i will kill you if you don't break this damn curse. Do you have any ideal Canossa and Andrea soul are fading? What your problem old witch!" He blunted rudely.

" I already told you,she's the only way to unlock the curse" Goddess Sitara said,ignoring his rude antics.

"What if i just kill her" He smirk.

"Then you will have to say good bye to Canossa and Andrea,as well as your throne and staff" She reply with a throaty laughter.

He balled his fist wishing of various ways to kill her,but he cant kill a goddess,she created the whole of vampic fall,moon goddess,he'd die before trying. But why she wasn't killing him for is behavior was confusing and strange but he doesn't care.

"It just a simple curse,what so hard in making a human fall in love with you?..."

" No human nor vampire have the right to fall in love with me. Am a king,not in their league!" He snarled.

" Pride? That's has always been your number one character. I made you king,what if i dethrone you?" She said,though she doesn't mean it.

Zarus chuckle," You just can't,old witch"

" Fine,just a tip to your misery. You can kill her after she fall in love with you,that's way you be able to claim all but you won't have an heir,what a king without an heir" The goddess said.

" I repeat,no human has the right to fall in love with me. Don't you get it?" He shouted this time.

" Hmm,suite yourself" She said,an heavy light shine on his face,he shut his eyes and reopened it,as expected, he was back in the balcony.

"Bullshit!" He scoff.

But does he even have a choice.

Well,he will just go with her words.

After his damn mate falls in love with him,he will punish her so much before death.

She'd pay for the time he wasn't able to claim his royal properties.

LONDON*

Hazel was returning from her morning walk and was heading home. It was Sunday morning,Harry had gone to one of his part time job. Home was always boring on Sundays since there was no school.

She sat on a bench staring at passers by while enjoying the cool breeze.

A guy sat beside her.

" Hey,pretty" He call her attention.

She frown. Calling her pretty is too girly for her liking,she snub him.

"Am talking to you" He tap her shoulder,she stood up landing a slap on his cheek.

" Are you mad? Can't you identify a guy when you see one? Disgusting homophobic bastard!" She curse and walk away leaving the guy confused and angry.

"b***h,you are lucky" He said.

5PM, WESTON MANSION*

Gianna and Tasha were both in Gianna's musical room,Tasha has been restless since yesterday so Gianna was playing the guitar hoping it could cool Tasha's mind.

Maybe it worked a little,cause she was smiling enjoying the soft play.

Veda walk in afterwards.

"I called your dad" She said,the two girls stare at her.

" Is the jerk imprisoned already?" Gianna ask. She only know about a tutor and he was the reason Tasha's fainted though she doesn't know how.

Tasha rub her palms together,it impossible for him to be imprisoned,even if she was told,she wouldn't believe it.

" Uncle didn't send any tutor over,he said he haven't find a suitable one for you"

"What?" Gianna exclaimed.

"Then..who was the guy?" She mumble. Tasha heave a sigh.

At least he is not her tutor,that's a good news.

"I will go home mow,i need to prepare for school tomorrow" She said.

"But what if he shows up again?" Gianna said worriedly.

Tasha gulp.

What if he does? But she can't just stay here,who knows if he might show up here,that be trouble. She didn't want to get her friends into any danger.

She fake a smile, don't worry,i will be fone. She said.

Gianna stood up,she walked to her and pull hr into her arms.

" You must be careful,these guys are all looking for rich p***y to shove their poison d**k into" She said but Tasha knew that wasn't the case. If that beast wanted her body he would have done it years ago,or was he waiting for her to mature first? Nah,she didn't believe that.

She nodded.

" I will drive you home.?" Veda said,

" Please do,i need to go see Eric" Gianna said.

"You two are still together?" Tasha said giving her a suspicious gaze.

" Don't tell me you believe i'd fall for him,Cmon girl,am not that fragile" Gianna said as she got up.

"Yeah,if you ever fall in love it be a testimony" Tasha tease.

" Right" Gianna grin and left the room.

Tasha face Veda who just stare blankly.

"Geez,babe, you should smile often" She said getting up.

"Am sure if Anna knows you situation,she wouldn't be smiling" Veda mutter.

Tasha only sigh as they both left the music room.

RODRIGUEZ VILLA*

Maddie came out from the bathroom with a wine towel rapped around her waist. She sat on her bed,pick up her phone and started stalking Tasha's IG. She haven't posted for three days,the last post was a picture of her bed,covered with red rose flowers and a small expensive cake,The caption was 'DADDY WILL SOON BE HOME'

" My dad is home already,i can just say 'daddy's home' That sound perfect" She smile. She immediately started ordering for the rose designer.

HARRISON APARTMENT*

The siblings were watching a night movie at around 10pm. There was a popcorn and juice on the center table. Hazel wore same outfit with Harry, blue baggy jean and a white T-shirt. Her short hair was packed in boy style.

" I don't like this movie" She complain.

"But i do.?" Harry said sipping from the orange juice.

" What so special about this,so boring with film tricks" She roll her eyes.

"Vampire movies are cool to watch,who knows if they might exist somewhere" He said.

She chuckle.

"Your love for this boring movie is on another level. Vampires can never exist" She said.

" I think so too" He mutter.

She stare at his wrist, "Why aren't you wearing your pretty bracelet. It from mum,taking it off isn't cool bro." She said. He gaps on noticing he wasn't wearing it.

"My bad,it been two days" He stood up and ran to his room to get it.

Hazel smile,she took the remote controller switching it to a different station,a cartoon station.

Harry stood at the passage to the room,staring at her with a smile on his face.

" Silly cutie" He chuckle. He stare at her for over an hour till he noticed she was sleeping. He walk to the couch where she lay,she carried her in a bridal style and went into her room. Laying her on the bed,she covered her with the duvet and slept beside her. After five minutes,someone appeared in the shadow.

"Good night,little sis" He muttered and disappeared into the shadow like he came.

NEXT MORNING,O'CONNELL'S MANSION*

It wasn't easy for Tasha to sleep,she dud everything possible to make sure she didn't remember him. Playing games,watching movies,making pizza till it was almost dawn,she slept for a while.

Zara walk into the room and met Tasha coming out from her dressing room,she looks pale like she was sick,her bandage as been removed but the little cut was still there.

"Good morning Miss T" She greeted,feigning concern.

" Morning,am off to school" Tasha said picking up her small black bag with a bunny on it.

" But what about breakfast?" Zara quickly ask.

"I will eat with Gianna after morning lecture" She said before leaving the room.

Zara sigh. "I hate it when she start behaving like her" She mumble.

~ ~ ~

Sonia was about entering her car when she sighted Tasha coming out from the mansion. She pretended to be lacing her shoe while waiting for Tasha.

Tasha saw Sonia but she pretend not to,she heard Sonia rushed her to the hospital looking worried. Why would she? That pretender.

"Is she supposed to say thank you,tssk"

She opened her range over car to get in when Sonia called.

"Hey"

Tasha glanced at her.

"I was just curious about last time. Why did you fell off the stairs?" She inquired.

"Felt like" Tasha reply curtly and got into her car. She drove out.

" She felt like? is that supposed to be a joke" Sonia frown. She look at one of the militant and gesture him to come closer.

" Miss..."

" Have you found that bastard yet?" She ask.

" Not yet but..."

" Incompetent fools,that what you all are!" Sonia snapped.

" Am sorry,we will make sure to get him" He said in assurance.

"You better do before dad returns tomorrow. And,keep an eye on my sister,if i see a scratch on her,you will be buried alongside your families" She threatened and drove out.

Viktor Lux is a young billionaire at twenty eight,he is popularly known for his incredibly cars all over the state and even across. The Vik estate is where he lives.

A black Hennessey venom speed into the estate and found it way into one of the best compound.

It stopped at the parking lot,Hunter came down from the drivers seat. He was dressing in a black suite,black shade and dark polished shoe. One might mistake him for the boss due to his expensive features.

He walk to the backseat and open the door,Lazarus stepped out dress in a blue suit,his hands stock into his pocket as he stare at the mansion in front of him.

" Boss...."

" Boss?" Lazarus batted his lashes.

"We..are in the human..."

" To hell with that! You better behave if you don't want to turn into ash" Lazarus glared.

"Please forgive me,majesty" Hunter quickly apologized.

" What was he expecting,that the king would start leaving like a human?" Silly thought.

Hunter lead the way inside and there they met Viktor with his manager.

"You kept us waiting for a long time" Manager Kim said.

" And?" Lazarus raise his brow.

" We..expected an apology. Besides it would have been okay for me but you ask to see my boss too,you should have show some respect by coming at the usual time" Manager Kim said,mildly.

Apology. No one,not even is father has a said that to him but a common human did.

" We are sorry" Hunter apologized. Lazarus eyes reddened.

*Who gave the order for you to speak?" He growl.

Hunter bow his head with a gulp.

" Kim" Viktor called after two minutes silent.

"Yes sir" Kim answered.

"Leave us,i want to talk to them alone" He said.

" But...yes" Manager Kim obeyed and walk out. Lazarus sat down heaving a sigh.

"Can we have the house documents now" Hunter said,Viktor chuckle.

"Sure, am sorry for wasting the king's time" He said with a smirk.

" How..did you know?" Hunter ask, surprise.

" Shut up and get me all i will be needing by noon" Lazarus glared.

"Yes,majesty"

ARIZONA COLLEGE*

The silent of the business department caught Gianna and Tasha's attention. They were returning from lunch. They knew the class has started already but who cares. Marketing wasn't their thing even though they need it as future CEO. Veda was studying medicine.

"Do you think Mr Rufus is back?" Gianna ask. Mr Rufus take them marketing but he was transferred,they didn't expect a quick replacement. Mr Rufus is a strict lecturer,only his class tends to be quiet like this.

" I don't think so,perhaps we've gotten another strict teacher" Tasha guessed.

"Not so soon" Gianna groan. They got to the entering of the class where they saw the students eyes staring at the suited man standing big in front of them.

Shock and fear clouded their faces.

" A new lecturer? Damn!" Gianna grumbled.

Tasha heart was racing rapidly,why was the man having same features like him? Like he heard her question,he turn his gaze towards them,and their eyes met.

"HOLY SH*T!!" Tasha scream holding her chest,she staggered backward, Gianna stood dumbfounded at the new teacher.

Her heart beat so gracefully and all she could think of was that her dream man was right in front of her.

"My future" She muttered,a smile plaster on her face.

"And who are those vagabonds?" Came his chilled,hard voice.

"Lets go in" Gianna said and pull shock Tasha in,Tasha eyes never left his,he smirked at her,that smirk that sends chills than her spine.

"We are sorry sir" Gianna bow respectfully.

That was a shock to the students.

Gianna Weston just apologized..to a lecturer?

"Who said you could enter?" He ask,making them halt. Tasha gulp emptily. She stood behind Gianna,her eyes now hitting the floor.

" Sir,we..are from this class..."

" You are late" He cut Gianna short. She bow her head,smiling.

" Am sorry sir" She bite her lower lip.

"Go on" He instructed.

"Thank you sir" She found herself blushing and turn to leave with Tasha...

"Mate" He called. Tasha heart slammed.

He was obviously referring to her.

He always call her that.

"Sir..?" Gianna turn back to him.

" You go seat,as for your friend,she will stand beside me for now" He said,his gaze now stare blankly at her.

"But sir..."

"Get out,now!" He glared at Gianna,she took her lips in,bowing her head and walk out feeling embarrassed.

How can he be that rude. Doesn't he know he is her future.

"I..i..i..." Tasha just couldn't find her voice,her bands squeeze the edge of her dress.

"Besides me,now!" That was an order she knew she dare not defy.

She walk to the other side making sure that was a big gab between them.

Maddie pinch herself hard. Why can Tasha stand beside this demigod and not her?

Lazarus stare at Tasha with that expression which says MOVE CLOSER.

Tasha understood that look,but hell she wasn't going to do it. He is a beast..if only the students knows.

"Mate" He called in a warning tone,now she wish to pass out.

YOU ARE MINE,MINE TO RUIN AND DESTROY,DEAR SEVENTH MATE.

His words from six years ago echoed repeatedly on her head.

Still pounding on how to walk closer,the bell rang,it was as if heaven was on her side.

"The..the..the..class is..over" She stammered.

" I see" He muttered,he carried his laptop face the students.

" Assignment for our next class,research on what i was supposed to teach you and summit to me"

" But sir,we don't know what you were supposed to teach us" One of the students said,a female.

"Meet her,she will tell you" He said referring to Tasha.

" Me?" Tasha froze.

How was she to know.

" Meet me in my office" He said and with that, he left the class.

In his office,she and him? No..she dare not! Those fangs and claws were still invisible in her mind.

"Tasha!" Gianna scream and ran to her.

" Gianna,i need to call my dad" Tasha quickly say.

" Me too! I just found the man have been waiting for,my future" She gush out.

" Where..did you find him?" Tasha ask,surprised at Gianna's news,it was obvious the girl wasn't joking.

" The new marketing Lecturer. Am in love!" She scream not minding the students gaze on her.

"What?!! Him?"

Tasha's jaw dropped.
