"She is back to life; I don't know how, but she is somehow back! And we are all doomed" she paced up and down frustrated as she concluded.
"So you are not the one who summoned brother?" he asked her to confirm his doubt. He was starting to feel better seeing that his little sister didn't betray him, with the way she was acting, it seemed to him that she was innocent.
"How can I? even though I care for him a lot, I am no fool to do that, knowing his anger with me at the moment." She turned to look at him with pitiable eyes and said to him;
"Brother you have to go check mothers tomb" he wasn't looking pleased with her suggestion, so he asked her with attitude as he took slow strides further inside the living room;
"Can't you use your so called voodoo to check?" He asked her lazily as he sat down on an armchair with his sea green eyes fixed on every gesture she was making.
"If only I could" came her firm reply. As she crossed her legs and rested her chin on her palms.
"I guess I have no choice then" he turned and ran from there superfast. Kathy exhaled and took lazy strides into the kitchen.

Lucian arrived at the family's resting sanctuary, he strode swiftly, passing some of the other coffins without paying attention to them straight to his none biological mother's tomb and saw that her body was still intact. He Opened the glass covering her body and perceived her scent closely and she was the one in her tomb. He creased his browse in confusion and ran superfast from there while in meditation. He kept asking himself, 'but how?' He arrived at the bar and saw the Bar Tender Alisha serving drinks to the crowd of people gathered there with a broad smile on her face he strides to her place and said;
"The usual!" she handed him a glass of vodka, he held the drink in his hands for while contemplating why she gave him Vodka instead of Hennessy and he was confused but he kept silent and just observed what was happening. 'This is not the usual' he thought to himself. Looking at his confused face she said to him;
"It would not be bad if you decide to try something new every once in a while!" he forced a smile and answered her;
"You know what? Maybe you are right." He took everything in one gulp and tipped the glass towards her direction and said;
"I loved it!" she smiled at him, he smiled back at her and swiftly he left the vicinity there. The Alisha he knew rarely talks to him. In fact, to the guys in general. She always just keeps to herself often and simply smiles at the customers. It's as if she dwells in her own world often.

It was the night of the art exhibition and Lucian needed to make an appearance before the public. He very well knew that his brother was unto him. Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do about that. The guess he was meeting at the exhibition were important people, he couldn't take lightly.
So he decided, that no matter what the situation might be, he wouldn't fail to make an appearance. Even if his brother might be planning something evil against him. He returned home, back to the mansion fearless, He sent Kathy a text message instead. Meanwhile, he gathered his trusted and strongest men and assigned roles to each one of them. No matter what happens he wasn't going to let his brother get his way.
When evening came he got dressed in a formal attire. A nice black tuxedo and made an appearance at the art exhibition. Everyone around there turned to look at the handsome man in the hall, but he paid no attention to their glances at him.
He stood right in front of a huge painting of a naked lady whose body was beautiful and covered in blood as she was taking a bite from an apple that was also bleeding. Yet despite the blood around the lady in the painted picture, her beauty and charm stood out. Suddenly it was as if he felt someone's presence besides him. Looking at the picture he exhaled.
Then he felt the texture of the painting with his fingers and said;
"What a fine work of art... you can tell from the mastery in the use of the artist paint and the stroke from his brush..." He turned to see who was standing beside him only to see a pretty lady who looked just like the one in the painting, he was surprised and taken by her beauty and elegance. She was wearing a blood red short fitted gown with black heels.
Her small luscious lips were painted in blood red. Her amber eyes glowed from the refection of the lights around her, her long raven black hair rested perfectly on her beautifully carved shoulders and when she smiled at him her dimples made her even more adorable than ever. Her skin was glowing and she was looking at the speechless man, who was confident some moments ago from his spoken words but suddenly looking humble. In his daze he felt a kick on his legs. He turned around only to see little Helio bringing him back from his day dream.
"Hello! I am Lilith and its nice meeting you" She said to him, he smirked at her and said;
Call me Lucian Morningstar!" she smiled and for a split second Lilith said to herself in her thoughts, 'if he is not the Morning star then I don't know what he is.' Lilith's eyes were fixed on his sea green eyes; she has never seen eyes as charming as his. The man was tall and had an athletic built the type that ladies often shout when they see saying 'oh my gosh he is so sexy that it hurts so badly!'
Lilith would often wonder why girls say it hurts, how can beauty hurt or was she not getting it right! His tanned skin was glowing and his average shoulder length brown hair was just beautiful. Her eyes couldn't help as she roamed his whole body staring at every inch of him her eyes could see. When he smiled at her she caught side of his one sided dimples and his pretty slim sexy lips. His nose was hawkish and it felt to Lilith as, if she touched it she could get hurt from his pointiness. His face was perfectly carved by the gods themselves. While they were there gazing at each other, Helio entered their middle and said;
"If we are passed introduction can we start talking about the painting?" Lilith cleared her throat and said;
"I am sorry for focusing my gaze at you like that!" he smiled and said in a cocky tone;
"Trust me lady! I wanted you to!" Lilith was smiling but when she heard his cocky remarks, she rolled her eyes at him and walked away from there, with Helio right behind her back;
"Imagine the nerve of that man! just because I spared him a look, that doesn't give him the right to act cocky with me!" Helio smiled and said under his breath;
"Now that's the first! I thought she would be crazy for him like all the others but it seemed her brain is in order… that's new" Little Helio smiled mischievously as he followed the lady.
Lucian was let agape at how the lady actually walked out of him without looking back. It was as if his charm and grace was no good on her. As he looked at her, he thought out loud saying;
"What the hell… just happened?
‘She has eyes that reflects the whole universe! When I looked at her, it was as if there was no planet missing in her eyes. She is everything! That made my senses grow wild in just a matter of seconds that I laid eyes on her… but! Fear! Came with the feeling and it made me feel strong yet weak, I just can't put my hand on the feelings I felt.' Lucians eyes were still on Lilith's back as it fades into the crowd.
"Ouch!" Lucian scream at the itching feeling he felt in his canine
“What is this?” He asked himself, after a few moments of contemplation, he thought it was his vampire demon that wanted her blood, but it was more, he didn't know what it was, but he felt he wanted to bury his fangs deep in her nape.
Then again, it made no sense to him, he syncs his senses to his werewolf side and a sudden feeling of dominating the lady flowed through his senses. He wanted her badly. he closed his eyes and lets his ego put each and every monstrous part of him sleep.
"Lucian Morningstar doesn't do feelings! That's for losers pffft" he laughs to himself and walks into the crowd to mingle with the guess.
