chapter 16/17

👹🖤 CURSED 🖤👹

HARRISON APARTMENT*

Hazel was making breakfast when she heard the creaking of the door. She rush out praying it was Harry.

She woke up to find the house empty,she don't know how long she slept but Harry wouldn't leave the house without informing her,she was worried.

" Harry!" She called on seeing it him.

Harrison gulp nervously.

" You are back,where did you go leaving me alone here" She made faces.

" I..i..went..to.."

" You never stutter before,anyway,am making breakfast,go freshen up,i will call you when am done." She wink and happily went back to the kitchen.

Harrison heave a sigh of relief.

She doesn't remember..or could she be pretending? He needs to check her neck if he'd truly bitten her,did she see it? What was her reaction?

He walk to his room,sat on the bed.

*I only saved you since your savour refused to come this time*

Viktor words rang in his head.

Savior,what savior?

He was still in his thought when he felt something in his arms,he was thinking about Hazel that he didn't feel it earlier.

" My bracelet!" He exclaimed.

He caress it with a smile.

" Good he gave it back" He mumbled.

•

"You..shouldn't bother,i can go myself" Tasha said as she walk beside Zarus to the park.

He stopped walking and face her.

"Why were you under the rain?" He ask.

" Why..are you asking this?" She said,kinda nervous.

" You were waiting for Gianna?" He blurted before he knew it.

He must have guess wrongly,

" How did you know?" She gave him a surprise gaze.

" I..did guessed it Right?" He said surprise too.

" Yeah,anyway i think she must have had something important to do that why she didn't show up quick,her phone was switch of,she couldn't contact me" Tasha said.

Lazarus chuckled.

Something important to do like riding his c**k.

What a stupid mate he have.

"What with that stare?" She muttered.

"I was just calculating the rate of your stupidity" He said,she gasp.

" How dare you!" She hit his shoulder..not hard though.

But that little touch did something to him,he couldn't tell but his heart raced rapidly.

" f**k!" He growl with eyes shut.

"Are you okay? I just hit you lightly,please don't faint" She said worriedly. He opened his eyes shutting her a murderous glare.

"The f**k do you mean by that!" He snap.

She just blink innocently.

He sigh,just that stare of her melted this damn anger. What the f*ck is wrong with him exactly.

"Lets go" He turn away and started walking,she follow behind.

He felt his kind nearby..there was another vampire in his house..it not Hunter.

They got to the parking lot filled with six cars,he stop to stare around.

" Lets go with this cute baby" Tasha giggle hovering around a white spot car.

It Viks brand,just like hers,how she love it.

"Come out!" Lazarus command,his gaze fix on the red benz at the end of the park.

Tasha hurriedly ran to stand behind him.

" Hey,what going on,who is coming out?" She whisper.

"You are too close" Lazarus said awkwardly.

Oh. She mumbled shifting back a little.

The intruder came out from the back of the car,her presence shocking the two.

Veda_Evanora!

They both called but glance at each other.

"What did you call her?" Tasha ask.

"Never mind" Lazarus shrug looking back at the lady.

"How come__"

" I will take Tasha home,she's my friend" Veda interrupt him,she walk to Tasha holding her wrist.

"My car is outside,lets go" She said and started taking her out.

Lazarus didn't reply,he just stare as they exit.

O'CONNELL'S MANSION*

"Where in heaven name were you? Do you know how worried we were? Why the hell do you love making me worried! I promise mother to look after you but you..you keep making feel like i broke my promise. You know what, kid,you are not leaving this house until your location and who you are seeing is clear. And most importantly,i will be your bodyguard from now on."

"Yo_you...kidding..me right now! The hell,i didn't get kidnapped or something!" Tasha exclaimed,shock and surprise with Sonia sudden behavior.

"I think your sister is right,Tasha,you can't leave the house on your own will..."

"Dad!" Tasha shouted.

"Zara,take your lady to her room" Sonia gave the order.

"You..i hate you acting like my mum!" Tasha snap.

" I don't mind taking her responsibility from now on" Sonia wink before storming out.

Tasha look at her dad who only nodded at her.

"You are all annoying! She yelled and ran through the stairs" Zara reluctantly followed.

•

"So what the plan?" Zara ask on the phone,she was at the balcony with the cleaning materials.

Obviously she was there to clean.

"Get them to live under same roof,am working on it" The male voice said from the phone.

" Is it necessary they come together,what if he is not even the one and then we are just helping a vampire king tame his mate who will never fall in love in a million years to come. We know this things Vik..."

"There is no crime in trying,Hilda. I don't believe he was mated to her without relevant reasons. Lets just try,if nothing changed in two months,then i will let you do your will" He said.

" That what i want to hear" She smirk. She hang up.

She heard a fading step,she turn to the door,her eyes glow red.

Someone must have been spying on her.

Who else..she already suspect it to be Bella..that annoying human time is almost up.

MELODIES HIGHSCHOOL*

Hazel stare at the chemistry teacher with angry gaze.

What was she even teaching,she should just leave and let her sleep.

"I guess,you are bored already" Red who sat behind her said.

" Can't wait to be done with this freaking school" She scoff.

" But you will still go to college,and i heard that more stressful than here" Red said.

"Well...i don't have plans on going. My brother is just a cashier in a CAFÉ,where will he get the money to send me to school. I will find a job immediately my final exam" She said.

"You don't know,anything can happen..don't just predict your future." Red said,he really wish to go to the same college with her. Arizona has always be his choice but it expensive,Hazel brother won't be able to pay the tuition fees.

"So says those who have future" Hazel glance at him.

" of course there is no how a slut like you will have a future" Stephanie whose seat was beside her comment.

"Why can't pigs mind their business" Hazel shrug.

" Say that again!" Stephanie slam her hands on the table. All eyes gaze at them.

" What going on?" Mrs Franca, their teacher ask.

" Pig,what? Don't know who you are anymore?" Hazel smirk. Stephanie walk to her,grabbing her hair.

" Let her go" Red shouted pulling Stephanie away from Hazel.

"Let me,i want to put her in her place!" Stephanie shouted.

Hazel stare at her and a little smirk curve up in her lip.

"You touch my hair" She mutter.

" Yeah i did,what can you do about it!' Stephanie yelled under Red hold.

"Good. Well done" Hazel clap her palms together,she carry her bag hanging it on her shoulders and started leaving the class.

" Hazel..."

"I dare you to call my name again!!" She shouted glaring at Mrs Franca,the lady shifted back in fright..she must be mistaken..she didn't just see the kid eyes flash red.

Hazel stormed out of the class.

ARIZONA COLLEGE*

"Maddie!"

She froze on her spot.

"Can't be,can't be." She pants.

" That your name right?" D'Arcy ask,he was behind her.

"Why do you always show up at the restroom!" She shouted facing him.

"Maybe it because you are always here,checking on the mate mark.?" He said plainly.

She frown.

" There is mate stuff there! I watch a vampire movie last night,sucking on me doesn't mean am your mate" She said.

" Right,i sucked on you but i might have mistakenly mark you,that night was a full moon...it triggered it" He explain.

" You are crazy,go to hell you beast!" She curse,she turn to leave but surprisedly he was in front of her..

She shouldn't be surprised,he is a vampire..they have insane speed.

" It going to be the blood moon in two months time,do you know what happen during that time?" He step close leaving just an inch away.

" I..you..i..i..don't" She stutter,fear creeping into her system.

"It the day when vampires claim their mate,be ready,you will go to my kingdom with me" He said in a serious tone. But she laugh to it,seeing it as a mere joke.

"Gosh,Maddie you are dreaming. A vampire came out of no where and then says you are his mate and now he want to take you to his kingdom to claim you" She laugh hard.

D'Arcy frown,what so funny in there.

Not like he plan on claiming her,he was gonna kill her under the red moon,if Lazarus could kill six mate who was he not to kill one...he is royal too.

"I have no time to waste with you,don't ever show your face to me!" She said in a warning tone before walking away.

" And i hate disrespect" He mumble.

"Fate is cruel,isn't it."

He turn to the speaker,his eyes narrowed.

The weird dream of seeing her was real,it really her..his rejected mate.

" Eva" He called.

Veda walk to him with folded arms.

"Hey,mate,it been decades" She said with a smile.

He gulp. Why was he suddenly feeling. strange around her?,she was his mate,kind,innocent and loyal,she was the one who tremble in front of him,when he rejected her,he didn't feel any remorse,even when she jumped into the tribulation pot,it didn't shake him.

Wondering why he rejected her?

Well,the woman he Was in love with was Canossa,Lazarus younger sister. Canossa and Eva were best friends and to say Evanora was his mother favorite.

"You_you alive?" His voice shook as he said that.

She smile.

"Yeah but not for long,come with me" Veda said,she turn and started leaving. He quietly followed.

•

"Can you give me a break,arh..am tired!" Tasha complain with a tired face.

Sonia just stare blankly at her with arms crossed.

"I really hate this side of you. Please can you go back to being the jewel thief who despises me" She said feigning amicably expression.

"No one said i don't despise you,am just trying to fulfill my promise,don't make things hard for me,please." Sonia said with a pout.

" I hate you!" Tasha snapped,she started walking away in fast pace,Sonia did same till they got to the lecturer block,surprisedly Gianna was there,standing in front of Zarus office.

Tasha shouldn't be surprise,Her friend must really be in love with her stalker.

"Hey,G" She called her attention,Gianna look at her direction and smile.

" b***h pie" She ran to hug her.

Sonia stare with a frown.

Why can Gianna hug her sister but she can't,wait..who says she can't.

" I missed you,sorry i couldn't visit last yesterday,i was..you know..."

" Riding on a c**k" Tasha hit her head,she laugh.

" Glad you know" She said with a pout chuckle.

" Prostitute" Sonia mumble to her own hearing.

"So,why are you here..standing outside?" Tasha inquired.

"Nothing" Gianna face flush.

The hot s*x with Zarus played in her head like a cinema movie,she just can't wait to have his c**k buried inside her,he is her mate after all,that make the whole of him hers.

" You..blushing?" Tasha pinch her cheek.

" Stop it" Gianna slap her hands off playfully.

"You look pretty when you blush" Tasha complement.

"Really?" Gianna blush harder.

" Naw..you are looking yolky now" Tasha tease.

" Unfair!" Gianna hit Tasha's arm.

"I was just kidding baby,you are the most prettiest lady in New York..."

Sonia loud cough interrupted Tasha's speech,the girls glare at her.

"What? You are having class now,cmon" She said side glaring at Gianna.

" If she's having class,so am i. I think you should leave to your department" Gianna said rapping her hands around Tasha's.

"You have no right to say that,am her sister whereas you are just an outsider!" Sonia yelled.

" Watch your speech Sonia!" Tasha yelled with an unfriendly gaze.

Why would Sonia call Gianna an outsider,that absorb. Gianna is the closest person to her after her dad.

"An outsider you say?" Gianna chuckled. "What makes you think you are any different? Oh there is a different, after all you are nothing but an adopted slave"

It was like anger gave Sonia a hard punch on the cheek.

She match to Gianna pulling her from Tasha's hold before landing a punch on her her face,her nose bleed that instant. She tried fighting back but Sonia was way stronger,(Even me nor know say Sonia strong like this)

"Let me go,arhhh!" Gianna scream as Sonia bath her face with slaps this time. The pains were unimaginable. Gianna must be seeing heaven by now.

And there was Tasha,who stood dumfounded on her spot.

She couldn't even think of what to do,this was the first time Gianna is getting beaten by someone,like the almighty Gianna Weston,how the hell did Sonia became this strong..definitely she'd beat her (Tasha) too.

*Wow,i can't believe this!

*It Gianna Weston!

*Thought she was strong!

*This is shocking,Gianna Weston getting beaten?!..holy 4uck!

*Sonia is a man in disguise,like where did she get this strength from?

*Iron lady go for it!..

*Lady T should do something to stop the fight.

*The hell,Tasha isn't doing anything to save her best friend.

*Indeed,siblings comes first.

The students three various comments while videoing the moment.

Gianna was already gasping for breath on the floor,her face looks so disgusting to look at right now,even Sonia was shock to see her hand work.

Fear grip her..she didn't mean it this way.

She look at Tasha's direction and all she was was shocking tears coming from her eyes.

" Gianna!" Tasha finally found her voice,before she could get to Gianna,a red hair girl blocked her path.

Two male students carried Gianna and started rushing her to the hospital.

" Don't bother,you don't deserve to touch her after what your sister did" The girl said and with that she left,maybe following the route the guys took.

Sonia gulp...scared.

LIGHT REALM*

"You know what happened,i don't need to explain,what ever trick you are playing on me you better stop it" Lazarus voice was stern,rude and unapologetic.

Goddess Satira gaze at him though her face was covered in the chamber of many lights.

"Can't you at least show some respect,am still the goddess" Her voice was like the sound of rushing waters. Normal being would have collapsed at her tone,even her huge present was terrifying.

"Answer,i need answers?!" Lazarus snapped.

She sigh,no matter what he won't change,still the same..no matter the years.

" What do you want from me this time?" She ask,calmly.

" Fine. Since you want to pretend,i will make it clear. He said,but how was he to say what he was feeling,he couldn't find any possible way to say it. Nevertheless,he will find a way to say it. "It about that mate you gave me,i..you know..i can't explain it,but my heart..her touch,present,feelings,everything about her does makes my heart beat in an unhealthy way,it surely not healthy at all. Do you even get what am saying?" He squinted.

Her next reaction surprised him,she laugh_moon goddess laughed.

Her laughter shook the marble floor,he stagger..

Did he even say something funny,definitely not. So what with the laughter..unlike her though.

" Oh my gawd,Zarus,if i heard you correctly,the meaning of what you just said is something described as 'impossible' to our kind. Many wishes it happened,especially her,not even me will believe something like that can happen. Let's talk business king Zarus" She said laughing little.

If glare could kill then the goddess will be rolling on the grave by now despite her powers,the anger surging through Zarus was damn dangerous.

"I wish you die,do you know that?" He said with a cold look.

"Yeah,i know that,just that it Impossible" She said.

"I know too" He nod,he turn to walk away.

There was no need talking to her,it pointless,he doesn't even understand the barbaric words she just blurted out. Maybe he was mistaken,there was no such feeling..he didn't feel any of such.

"It blood moon soon,you know what that means."

Her words made him halt,that fear..sane fear of three hundred years ago hugged him like never before,he clench his fist.

"What are your plans?" Her words dice into his trouble mind.

In just two months he will lose them and that be forever.

There is only one way,get hold of the divine staff,clean Rowan from the evil spell,bring them both to the reincarnation river,that the only way to save them. But again,Rowan would know,the truth..he might spill it and when that happens..who knows..his sister happiness with be tarnish for ever. No,he shouldn't think of all that,all that matters right now is bringing them back to vampic fall.

He turn to face the goddess.

"That human mate is taking too long to fall in for in love with me,i can't wait..i need to get hold of the divine staff. You wouldn't be so heartless to watch them die like that,right?" His words came with pleads.

" There is nothing wrong in them dying,you aren't even sure if your blood might work..."

"Then tell me what to do! You are the moon goddess right,what should i do,please.:" He pleaded.

"Fine. There is only one solution,i didn't want to tell you since i thought taming your mate will be easy for you..." (Liar,she knows it never easy)

Lazarus smile,there is a solution apart from his pathetic mate. Damn this goddess.

"You will have to look for___only there can you find it."

"That a simple task,i pray you live long,witch" He wink,he happily left.

" Sorry Ann,you failed...it my win. So he goes" The moon goddess said.

HILL TOP*

" Why are we here?" D'Arcy ask staring down at the hill.

"Do you know why Maddie is mated you?" Veda(Vampire name:Evanora) ask ignoring his question.

" I don't care to know,she's dying anyway" He shrug.

"Yeah,she's sure dying" Veda said, D'Arcy snap his gaze towards her.

"The hell do you mean by that!" He growl.

"What? I Just repeated what you said" She scoff.

D'Arcy look away.

What was that stupid reaction.

"Anyway,the blood moon is approaching,something terrible is going to happen on that day,something that will shake the whole of vampic fall,All vampires greatest fear" She said,as expected,he stare confused.

But he soon snap out of his confusion.

" My mother died on a blood moon,Rowan killed Canossa on a blood moon and also went mad that same blood moon,and look at me,i be killing my mate on a blood moon. Cmon,it no news something bad always happen on a blood moon,it a special day" He said,mentioning his mother made his heart aches. Anger and sadness flush through him.

His mother was killed by a rogue vampire too. It was the most saddest day of their lives,she was too kind to die..in such tragic way.

" You are right,now..the greatest bad thing is about to happen. It be the end of all vampires" She said with a nod.

"What are you talking about?" He ask finding her words strange.

T"he beast god is going to reincarnate during the blood moon" That should trigger fear in any one but D'Arcy laugh it off. Anyone would laugh though. Beast god,you mean the creator of evil spells,master of all rogues,the beast vampire with two large horns with no damn heart,that same man whose mission was to wipe every damn soul out of vampic fall for a reason no one knows,or perhaps some does know. But that god died 30 thousand years ago, vampire history has it that he was killed by goddess Morgana,yeah..that's her,Satira most loved and cherish servant whom she made a goddess.

How would a normal person believe that god is reincarnating in this life..naw..it better be impossible.

" Am not joking" Veda said with a frown.

" Yeah,i know. You are human now,i expect this";He chuckle.

"Am not human" She glared.

"Whatever,i don't have time for this,needs to see your old friend" He said.

"You should try seeing your old man and sister,they are worried about you" He said and started leaving.

" Am not joking! He is going to come back! Swears,we will all die..even the goddess won't be able to stop this chaos! D'Arcy,we..." She stop talking when he was already out of sight.

" We can still do something to stop it" She mumble under her breath,a tear fell from her eyes.

•

Stephanie came out from a grocery store,holding three nylons in hands. She was smiling as she walk to her car nearby.

She got in and ignited the engine but it didn't move instead it tyre made a screeching sound.

"What going on" She blink,she got down from the car,and her eyes landed on the deflated tyre.

" No,no no..this is not f*cling happening" She said shaking her head side ways.

" Arhhhhh!" She scream in anger.

"Who the hell would have done this,she was sure it didn't deflate it self" She fuckin drove this car here sound and healthy.

"Looks like someone is having a hard time here,need help?" That sassy voice hit her ears.

" Arh!" She gnash her teeth turning to face smiling Hazel.

"Hey pig" She wink.

"You did this? This is your hand work right! Screw you,you will go to prison for this!" She yelled.

" Is that supposed to be a threat?" Hazel blink innocently.

"You...you will rot in jail!" Stephanie yelled,she brought out her phone to make a call but Hazel snatch it from her.

"No calls,pig."

" Give me back my phone!" Stephanie shouted going insane.

"I won't" Hazel face twitched.

She wave the phone on the air smiling when another hand grab it from her.

She turn to see who the f**k interrupted.

" Bro!" She gasp on seeing Harrison.

"Good your brother came" Stephanie smirk.

"Here you go" Harry stretch the phone to her,she snap it from him roughly.

"My tyres." She glared.

"You can take a cab home first,i will have it fix." He said politely.

" You can't!" Hazel frown.

"Shut up" He glared at her,she scoff.

Stephanie smile.

"Alright,i will pick it up tomorrow,see ya pretty boy" She wink,taking her shopping bags from the car,she walk away to get a cab.

"It expensive,don't fix it" Hazel said .

"You could have thought of that before taking actions,we will starve for days now" He said obviously angry at her.

"She wronged me first" She defend.

" That not an excuse to do this!" He yelled.

She pull my hair,what punishment do you think she deserves if not this,she deserves even more. Hazel fired back.

Harrison shook his head.

" Well thanks to your revenge,we will go hungry,Happy now,got a pretty nice revenge huh." He said before dialing the mechanic number.

Hazel roll her eyes,not like she's done with her revenge.

Standing at a distance was Lazarus,he stare at them with a little smile in his lips.

He wish they could be like this forever,is that even possible.

He could vividly remember Rowan words from three hundred years ago. He will kill her a hundred times even if she was his mate.

He needs to find that old Liberian.

But first..why does he want to see someone..a glance isn't a crime right,he will just glance at her,nothing more.

HOSPITAL*

" GET OUT!"

Sonia flinched at Tasha's angry voice.

" You almost killed my friend,how dare you come here,leave! I don't want to see you!" Tasha yelled. Tears welled up in Sonia eyes.

"I didn't mean it,i was just angry..."

"Angry at what? Aren't you adopted!" Tasha glared.

" I didn't deny that,but am not a slave,am your sister,a daughter of the O'Connell's, she has no right to call me a slave,i have feelings too!" Sonia sob.

"You know what? Just leave,i don't want to talk to you right now" She said and left for Gianna's ward.

Sonia burst into tears.

•

Gianna sat on the bed,face plastered.

She was sobbing dearly.

The disgraced was just too much to handle,she's a girl of high standards,getting beaten like that,hell..she won't take it. Sonia must pay for what she did.

The door burst open,the girl with red hair ran in like she was being chased,she held her phone tightly on her hands. Her presence startled Gianna.

"What..who the hell are you?" She ask in fright.

"That doesn't matter cause am sure what ever am going to show you will definitely get you super angry" She said.

Super angry,so the anger she was feeling now what it called? She scoff.

"Spill"

"I know you like prof Zarus a lot..."

" Is he here? He came to see me!" Gianna felt butterflies in her stomach. The girl stare at her for a while before saying" I guess,yeah he was coming to see you,but a slut blocked his way to seduce him"

"What?! I will kill whoever it is that come close to my man!" Gianna roar.

"Here,watch this" She said and gave Gianna her phone.

It a video of Tasha and Lazarus kissing,it was so tense and craving,they held each other so tight,eating each other lips hungrily,Tasha hands rap around His neck while his hands was squeezing her butt.

Hot tears ran down Gianna cheeks,her grip tighten on the phone.

"Tasha isn't a trustworthy friend,she must have plan the fight with Sonia,didn't you see she didn't try stopping her sister,the block are talking about it. She didn't even feel ashamed,she dares seduce your man,how shameless." The girl spat.

Gianna sniff,she wipe her tears,and nod with a smile.

"You O'Connell's sisters won't escape my wrath, you will both pay for this heartbeat especially you Tasha,you will regret toying with me! How foolish i was to trust you,fine,let's play this game again..it my turn."

Gianna voice carried venom,eyes blazing with furry,she was too angry to notice the satisfy smile on the girls face...
