The Blood Story

The Demon is back

Elizabeth was walking into her room worriedly and faster than usual. She wrapped a bandage around her injured hand and her room was locked.

“Think Liza think” – she murmured

“What should I do now…. what should I do now” – she continued

Suddenly someone entered her room from the window. She turned around and it was Christian.

“Oh my God…Christian” – she said in fear and ran towards the door but he grabbed her by the waist.

“No …Liza, listen, I’m sorry…I’m so sorry…. I can’t forgive myself for what just happened…I could’ve killed you…” – he cried while controlling her

When she realized that he was sober now, she calmed down. She then turned around and maintained a distance from him.

“I know…. I’m sorry…You warned me too many times for this…but I never saw you in that condition.” – she stammered and sat on the bed.

He smiled and sat next to him. She moved back but he held her hand softly.

“No…No, you don’t need to move away from me…. I won’t hurt you…. I mean, I want to work on it from now on.” – he tried to relax her

“It’s alright Chris…I’m good.” – she replied

“I want to practice self-control from now” – he whispered and came close to her.

“How?” – she stammered confusingly

“Do you trust me?” – he asked softly

She smiled and nodded her head. He smiled back and took his fingers into her hair and held her face softly. She got nervous and tried to move back but then he curled his fingers into her hair and tightened the grip.

“Just stay still and don’t move” – he replied and went close to her lips.

She sat still and closed her eyes and he felt her warm breath touching his face. He gulped and took his face closer to hers. He touched her lips with his lips and then stopped and started breathing deeply. Liza opened her eyes and cupped his face.

“You can do it…I know you won’t hurt me because you love me” – she smiled

He nodded his head and went again close to her. He gave a quick kiss at her lips and then stopped. His eyes turned wide again but he controlled and held her lower lip with his lips. He started sucking it and she kissed him back. They started sharing a passionate kiss and her hands went down on his chest. She started opening his shirt’s button and he held her hands and stopped.

“I’m better than I thought” – he giggled and sat on the bed

“Told you” – she smiled

“Let’s not be in a rush, alright?” – he replied and cupped her face.

She smiled and then nodded her head. He kissed her forehead and then held her hands.

“Now tell me why you came to me earlier?” – he asked politely

“Chris…there’s a problem, my dad just read the news about animal attack… he got overly scared and he wants me to leave for the city and then straight to London.” – she told him

“Well Liza…he is right” – he said while caressing her hair

“Chris…” – she tried to reply

“No…Listen to me”– he interrupted and moved his fingers from her face to her neck.

“It was not an animal attack” – he added

“Then what?” – she asked curiously

“They are back, Liza” – he murmured

“The Hybrids?” – she replied with fearful expressions

“Yes” – he disappointedly said

“But why?” – she asked

“They are back for the curse breaker” – he replied

“But she doesn’t exist….” – She replied in a denial

“I said the same but she is alive and soon will be turning eighteenth and then they will cross the boundaries of Southdale and will never leave a single human being on this land” – he said

“But I can’t leave my people like that in this arduous situation…I will stay here…” – she replied

“Liza, your parents won’t let you stay here and I want you to leave before the situation got worse” – he tried to convince her

“They can’t force me like that ....and by the way....... after a month…I will be eighteenth…. then I can legally move or stay wherever I want to.” – she said stubbornly

“Liza….? What’s your father’s surname?” – He asked curiously

“It’s Young…and you know that” – she curiously replied while rolling her into a bun.

“Is there any middle name?” – he asked

“Yes…It’s Elizabeth Marie Young” – she sighed

“And what’s your mother’s surname?” – he asked

“It’s not Jennings …Christian…Don’t worry, I’m not the last witch…my family has nothing to do with it” – she irritatingly replied and stood up from the bed

“I…. just…want to confirm that” – he exhausted

 “Ok… Listen…I need to escape from here…I need your help” – she said and bent down to his face and held it.

“Where you want to go?” – he asked

“Can I stay at your place for a month only?” – she smiled and cupped his face

“With me? In a house full of vampires?” – he surprisingly asked

“Yes…you will be there to protect me.” – she smiled and stood straight

“No Liza…it’s not a good idea…I think you should leave with your father today…I will come to visit you time to time…” – he replied while standing up and then he kissed her forehead and disappeared

She leaned on the bed and punched the pillow in anger. After a while, someone knocked on the door. She stood up from the bed and opened the door. It was her dad; he smiled and entered the room.

“Liza… you are not rectifying the situation right now” – he said

“What situation Dad…what’s wrong?” – she irritatingly asked

“Some big trouble is behind us…especially you… This is the matter of life and death…the whole town would be against you…I can’t protect you from everything Liza…. you are my life…try to understand.” – her father said

“Alright…If the whole world wants me to leave Southdale… I will go but I have some conditions” – she sighed

“Anything you want” – he soothed 

“I want two more days here…I want to say a final goodbye to my friends…my love…to my favorite places” – she cried

“And also…I want to know the truth behind the animal attack” – she added

“Done… two days here and then I’ll tell you everything once we reach London” – he replied

“Ok, Dad…. Thanks” – she smiled

“Oh, my baby” – he replied and hugged her

The coopers were in the woods and there were the seven leaders of different tribes of vampires from different places. Christopher called all of them to negotiate but they were outside the territory of Southdale in the forests.

“Thank you for coming here you all” – Christopher said

“The hybrids are back in town but they can’t cross the territory because of the curse but we doubt that the curse breaker exists.” – he added

“Then find her and kill her” – one of the tribe leaders said

“We can’t kill her but we will protect her” – Christopher replied

“We can’t protect her forever…The hybrids are stubborn…they will find her someday and then you know already what will happen next” – another tribe leader added

“We can’t take a witch’s life…it is against the vampire law” – Christopher replied

“Vampires can’t but humans can…. ask your people to kill her.” – the tribe leader said

“No…That’s not right…we can’t kill an innocent girl…what’s her fault” – Quinn added

“You care about humans because you live among them but why would we care?” – he replied

“Humans are finding her…. Our main motive is to protect Southdale…our land…your land… or we can stop hybrids by finding her before humans” – Christopher said

“Hello lovely protectors!” – Alexander chuckled

Everyone turned around and saw him standing next to the tree with the same charismatic appearance as he had thousand years ago. Everyone’s jaw dropped after seeing him that close to them. Quinn, Christian, and Alaric were seeing him for the first time. He was tall, muscular with brown curly hair and blue eyes. Extremely white but a little bit pinkish. He was looking like a seventeen years old high school boy, wearing black leather pants and a black dress shirt with a black long coat and long black boots. Christian, Quinn, and Alaric were a little bit curious about who he was.

“What do you want Alexander? Why you came back here?” – Christopher shouted

“No fair mate…I greeted you like old days and look at you…cruel, arrogant…fearful…. just like the old-time.” – he replied

“Alexander Petrova?” – Christian murmured astonishingly

“Yes…newbie. Probably it’s our first interaction…. Whenever I saw newborn vampires like you …. I remembered how one of your silly newbies accidentally tried to convert a werewolf into a vampire.” – Alexander interacted and went close to him.

Different expressions appeared on Christian’s face one by one.

“And then look what he had done…. He created me … the first-ever Hybrid” – Alexander went back and walked in the middle of the vampires and chuckled.

“Half mortal …. Half immortal!” – he added

“Oh…poor animal suckers…you think that by doing that you will escape the hell? Well, let me tell you dear that monsters are meant.... to live ....in hell.” – Alexander went back close to Christian and added while looking into Christian’s eyes.

Christian backed off but Alexander held dragged by his arms and went close to his ear.

“Don’t get scared kid…I can’t kill you…. YET” – Alexander whispered into his ear.

“Back off my son… tell me what you want?” – Christopher shouted

“Oh really? Do you think I’m scared of you? Then let me remind you that my father who was treated to get rid of that poor vampire’s venom… out of my blood… I killed him…. I sucked every single drop of his blood and ripped his head…. That is my level of cruelty” – he laughed and walked back in the center.

“You are not strong enough…. Like you are pretending Alexander” – a vampire leader said

“Hahh…! How will you compete with me? with werewolves? Don’t you remember… what I did to those twenty werewolves… that came to fight against me? I converted them into my army” – he replied and laughed

“And then Maleficent cursed you…. And boom! No more entry in Southdale…. No more vampire killings… no more hybrid and werewolf conversions” – Georgia chuckled

“Back off Alexander…. Whatever you want is not here” – Christopher added

“Well, you know already what I want Christopher” – Alexander replied

“And your son is so close to her.” – he added while looking into Christian’s eyes.

“Wh…What do you mean?” – Christian asked

“Well…Let’s see how you will figure that out.... what I mean.” – he replied and tapped Christian’s face.

“See you later mates…The journey is too long” – he chuckled and disappeared.
