Lucian Morningstar

THE MONSTER IN HER DREAMS!

She looked up at him with a serious face and Lucian smiled Mischievously saying;

“Never say never sister! There is no greater witch in the whole of Hems-Ville as talented as you.” She tilted her head to the side, surprised at his complement and said;

“That’s very sweet of you brother but I am sorry, unless I can examine the Alicorn to know the cure, there’s nothing I can do as it’s deeply imbedded into your heart.” After a while Kathy spoke again;

“Actually there’s a way to get a Hexed Alicorn out of a person’s heart! But this method is impossible even for you” she concluded with a bold smile on her face

“Tell us sister!” Jaden asked persistently

“It can be removed by a person he has deep love and trust emotions for!” everyone there raised their hands in surrender. After a while Sam asked curiously;

“What will happen when we don’t remove it?” she asked curiously and waited for the reply patiently

“Because it’s in the heart, he will grow hateful of everyone! Then he will go berserk and start laying waste to everything and everyone that cross his path before he will finally die.” They all remained silent through the night in the living room while Lucian resigned to his chambers on the west wing unfazed by the whole conclusion his sister summarized to him.

Lilith woke up to see her plush drenched in her sweat. Her eyes felt heavy like she had been crying for a while. She was confused as to what made her so scared that she was drenched in her own sweat. She stood up and went to the mirror and saw her eyes looking puffy, ‘I must have been dreaming.’ She said to herself while massaging her eye circle gently. She stopped in her tracks as she was moving away from the mirror and closed her eyes to see if she can recall anything. Memories of all that had happened in her dreams last night came flashing in her mind, she covered her mouth with her hands in other not to make an audible scream;

“Why did I have such a nasty dream what was I thinking of before going to bed” she asked herself. When she realized that she couldn’t remember what she was doing yesterday before going to bed. She was all the more frustrated and annoyed by her poor memory;

“How comes I can’t recall what I did before my bed time and why am I still in this outfit” she referred back to the mirror. While looking at herself with scrutiny she noticed a sticky paper saying;

“Your work at the olive mental health care starts Monday by 8: am. Good luck girl! You can do it” looking at her clock she was shocked at how time was running fast. She quickly dashed into the bathroom and had a quick shower.

After cleaning up and getting dressed in her black trouser and white turtle neck long sleeves crop top she rushed to work. She arrived ten minutes late and met with an annoyed boss waiting for her in the clinic;

“I am sorry ma’am I didn’t mean to come late for work, it seems like something happened on the road so there was a long traffic jam on the road.” She peered into her eyes angrily, Lilith gulped anxiously and waited for her verdict.

“You are lucky! That you have a person of high influence waiting for you” she directed her into her office grumpily and walked away.

Lilith sat in her office feeling relaxed after the episode with her boss. She started going through the work ethics and protocols written in a pile of paper casually when her door creaked open, looking up she saw a pretty young lady, the lady looked like she was in her teenage age. She was wearing leather pants and a white fitted ripped t-shirt with dark shades on. Her lip was painted with a striking red lipstick. She had beautiful freckles on her cheekbones.  Her hair was packed in a lose bun. Lilith smiled at her after taking a close look at her beautiful looks. The girl smiled back at her and said;

“Hello sweet heart I am just going straight to the point I have a job for you!” Lilith gave her a sheepish smile and said;

“What would that be young lady?” she asked the lady expectantly with a kind look in her eyes. The lady smirked at her and answered;

“Don’t be deceived by my looks… I am no young lady but I will take your words as a compliment.” She giggled before she continued talking;

“I have a patient with serious anger problems and I think you might just be the right doc for the job!” she cooed and Lilith nodded her head as she looked at her

“Why me?” she asked curiously.

“Because you look sensible?... I think. The rest is mystery” she smirked and then continued talking

“Enough questions sweet heart! Why don’t we just dive right into the problem at hand. I have other issues to attend to, so if you don’t mind follow me. I will take you to the patient’s residence and introduce you to him.” Lilith was skeptic about following her, but she quickly changed her mind after thinking about how angry her boss was in the morning. She couldn’t afford to start complaining about an influential client after getting a query in the morning.

Lilith followed the lady and she was taken to a real life Victorian style castle. She was agape as she followed the lady and surprised at the elegance of the building. Everything in it was exquisitely of high quality. She was taken to the west wing of the building that seemed like a whole new castle all together. She followed the lady to a massive room, where she was left alone. The lady simply pointed at the man who was facing the massive French window. She waved her goodbye and shot her sharp smile. Then she went away

 Looking at the man facing the big French window who was only wearing loose trousers. She thought the man’s back looked strong and dependable. The man also had a beautiful glowing skin. She could see that the back of the man was perfectly sculpted, in an attractive way. He had a slick back hair cut but it was obvious that the front hair was long. She could see it from the sides of his head. Just from how the strands of his hair was falling perfectly to the sides. The man ran his fingers through his messy hair and at that very moment he turned and looked at her.

Looking at the man’s face, images from yesterday flashed through her mind. She widened her eyes in shock;

“Don’t be too surprise sweet heart I needed you to remember what happened yesterday. But it will only be when I want you to remember!” he smiled mischievously at her.

“You! You! What did you do to me? Why couldn’t I remember all that happened yesterday…. But somehow after just one look at you, all the memories came rushing through my mind.” He cuts through her questioning saying;

“You are frightened! I understand, but you don’t have to be, so calm down. I want you to take everything I will tell you here today as normal” she exhaled and calm down after the command from his mind controlling voice. Her eyes settled on the alicorn piercing through his heart and she said; 

“Doesn’t it hurt?” he looked at her concerned face and asked mischievously;

“Not really! Do you want to touch it?” she looked at him concerned and answered;

“If you will let me I will like to!” he walked closer and closer to her until he was facing her and standing just a few inches away from her. She trailed her fingers on his bare chest, he closed his eyes as he relished her touch upon his skin. Lilith studied the alicorn as she was about to turn away from it, a part of her mind kept telling her to take it out but she ignored it. She finally decided to ask him;

“What happens when I take it out?” he raised an eye brow and answered;

“curious! Aren’t you? I die…” the place was silent for a while before she turned away and sat on an arm chair by a table. She offered him to sit opposite her but he said to her;

“I prefer the bed… by the way you are welcome to join me!” he laid on his side with his head resting on his hands while looking at her; his hair fell gracefully to the side making him look like a hot model who is ready for a photo shoot.” She was lost in her admiration of him. after a moment of silence, she asked him;

“So tell me Mister Lucian, what provokes you?” he exhaled and said;

“Well! I have anger management issues for a long while now and I don’t hate it! … it’s just that recently I nearly killed my right hand man because of it and it so happens that my right hand man has been the only man my sister liked after dating a werewolf I mistakenly killed;

“Werewolves are real?” she asked him with an astounded look written on her face. a normal person was supposed to be scared at the realization of something like that, but she wasn’t because of the hypnotization.

“Yes sweet heart, vampires, witches and demons! They are all real!” he answered her unfazed. Her eyes were fixated on him as she was trying to figure him out all to no ends. She wondered how he could possibly remain calm after telling her something like that.

“What are you?” she asked curiously with her eyes looking at him seriously.

“I am all!” he answered her while looking intently into her eyes after a while he cackled and said;

“Well I used to be a witch before being turned into a vampire and I am not literally a demon but I have all the qualities that qualifies me to be called one”

Lilith nodded her head and she wondered why she was not taking to her heels. She concluded in her mind that it must have been the hypnosis that’s why she wasn’t at all scared. If not, why would she in her sane mind stand while hearing this real life monster talk about the demons hidden within him.
