The Lost One
Althea woke up with a groggy feeling. She hurriedly run to the toilet to vomit. Her head is pounding very hard. "s**t!" she cursed. She must have drink a lot last night. To be honest, her alcohol tolerance is very low. She can barely drink a glass of beer without feeling dizzy all over. That's how bad her alcohol tolerance is. Now recalling how hard she had partied last night just makes her headache pound harder. "Ugh", she exclaimed as she get up and sluggishly went to the kitchen. She rummage her kitchen drawer and luckily she found some Tylenol. She chugged 2 pills down with one large gulp. She will not drink again! That is a promise that she had sworn to herself. Which she always do after she is sober and seems to forgot once night comes again.
Her stomach is asking for some food so she start rummaging her cupboard and she found some noodles. She shake her head and face-palmed. She was supposed to get groceries today but because she drank last night, she woke up late, with a headache and hungry. She sighed and get up to shower.
"Where you able to locate the Descendant?" A lady that looks like in her thirties, with porcelain-like skin and blood-red lips and a beauty that was unparalleled ask the man in black hood. "No" he answered, voice shivering in fear. "Useless!" she bellowed. "We've been looking for the Descendant for more than 400 years and still no results up until now. How could you be so useless!" she screamed in anger and her eyes turned blood red and black veins popped on her face.
"Calm down Amanda! We will find her! Our elite team are the best team in tracking. There is a chance that the Descendant is not even born yet" Sandro, her spouse of 800 years said. "I can't Sandro. You know I can't. Dracana cannot rise again. We, Antonov Household is the strongest for the last 700 years and I want it to stay that way." Amanda replied, her voice laced with loathed. "They cannot rise up again!" manic is showing on Amanda's face.
Sandro dismissed the man in a black hood and continues to coaxed his wife to calm down. If not for that old hag that gave that prophecy 400 years ago, Amanda would not be stressed so much. He wish he could kill that witch but he knew he can't. Not even Amanda, the current head of the Antonov household and is currently known as the strongest and most powerful vampire that had ever live to this day is not on par to the witch.
With a hungry stomach, Althea went to a grocery store. She passed by a burger station so she decided to grab some burger to ease her hunger. After that, she continue to the grocery store and bought the supplies that she needed. She bought some wheat bread, Nutella, eggs, milk, coffee, strawberry jam and three boxes of cookies, some shower supplies and tissues. She also buys some Tylenol as well. She cannot forget those. She is in the parking lot stuffing her groceries to her car when a loud explosion happened and that is the last thing that she remembered.
"Oh my God! You are finally awake!" Martha said tearfully looking at her bestfriend who is lying on a hospital bed. She rushed to the hospital when she received a call stating that her bestfriend got admitted. She thought that she passed out in a corner due to drunkenness but what shocked her when she arrived to the hospital to find her bestfriend covered in wounds and debris. Later, she found out that there was a bombing in the grocery store where her Althea is.
"What happened?" Althea asked.
"You don't remember anything, do you?"
"No." she shook her head. "How long was I out?"
"Two weeks. The doctor even said that you would not wake up in about a month. I am just so happy that you are now awake." Martha said and continue crying. Then she begin to fill her in with what happened. There was a bombing that happened on the grocery store on that day that Althea went out. The authorities are still investigating who are the perpetrators of the incident and if that is a terrorist attack. Seven people where dead on the incident, five are critical including Althea and twenty-three are wounded. Their conversation was cut short when the doctor entered the room to check Althea's vitals.
"I don't believe in miracles but he situation can really be considered one. To think that she is dying when she arrived and now after two weeks, she is almost completely healed was just to unbelievable".
"Is she a witch or something?"
"Silly! They don't exist you know"
"Dr. Cameroon said that they might do an investigation of her case. He said that they found something abnormal in her blood and that could be the reason why she heals so fast"
"Really? I can't wait for the result to come out. I am so curious"
The nurses that are talking about the situation of a certain patient about how fast her recovery is had fallen into the ear of someone. At first, he was a little skeptical about it. After all, some human are really lucky about their lives. He was supposed to let the thing go not until he heard them talking about the blood of the patient and how it works magical in healing the person. He must be getting old if he is hearing wrong things but he decided to look into the matter before someone else. He might found a Lost One.
He wants to make sure that his territory is safe and Lost Ones can bring a headache to his feeding ground if he neglect it. He is not the type to compromise things that belongs to him. He approach the nurses and moments later, the nurses' eyes looks blank and intoxicated with no recollection of what just happened.
