“This is my battle and I want to fight it alone” I declared.
“Blaire, you have just been turned. You don’t have that much of powers” protested Adam.
“This is my battle” I said being stubborn.
“And we are your friends” argued Suzan. I know and I’m lucky to have such friends who wouldn’t leave my side when the clouds of hardship bursts but I don’t want them to be in this problem and get hurt because of me.
“Look, I know you don’t want us to get in problem but if Zane was your love then he was our best friend too” said Eric. His point was valid so I considered it and settled down, preparing a solid plan to fight against that witch who took my Zane away from me.
“Witches fear fire. So we can set her on fire” suggested Suzan.
“But as far as I know, witches deal with earth, wind, water and fire right?” I asked.
“They don’t fear fire that has been caused by them, by their spell but they do fear fire that has naturally been occurred” answered Adam.
“They also burn much quicker than normal sims” added Eric.
“Firstly we need to keep an eye on Gizelle and that other person whoever he was. Remember he had asked her to meet in the forest today in the evening?” said Suzan. I don’t remember him saying that, maybe I was so much in shock and was lost in my sorrow that I didn’t hear him say that. Of course I wasn’t in the state to hear or speak anything at that time.
“Yeah right. So first we need to get that man. Today when they meet in the forest, they won’t be alone, we will be watching their every single move” said Eric.
“But won’t they come to know that they are being watched?” I questioned.
“They are so many creatures in the forest and we will be one of them. Hanging on the tree” he said.
“I know I’m a vampire but I’m sorry I still don’t know most of the vampire things” I said.
“One of the — ” Suzan signaled Adam to stop.
“Blaire you are now a vampire and you must know everything about vampires, about yourself, all the abilities, powers that vampires have and even the weaknesses. If you won’t know what powers vests within you then you will be called weak and your enemies will have upper hand over you” said Suzan.
“I don’t let anything fade from my mind that you guys tell me”
“You are a vampire. You don’t need to know about your powers or weakness from other vampires” said Suzan.
“But how will I know if no one tells me?”
“You yourself will know everything about it. Trust no one, but you!” I am confused, how am I supposed to know everything by myself?
“We know that you never wanted to be a vampire but now you are and you can’t undo that, you have to accept it. You are no longer a human. You are a vampire. Know your powers and use your abilities when in need. Think, act and behave like a vampire, you only have to pretend to be a human when around other humans but your heart must know who you are – A Vampire!.” said Suzan.
“You’re right” was all I could say.
“Close your eyes and accept that you are a vampire. The acceptance shall come from heart. Tell your heart that you are a vampire and ask your mind to tell you everything and you would know everything a vampire is supposed to know” continued Suzan. I followed her instructions and closed my eyes and said in my heart ‘I’m now a vampire, please tell me everything that I’m supposed to know’ but nothing happened, I got no answer. I tried again and then again but everything went in vain.
“It’s not happening” I said irritated.
“It’s because you are not accepting the fact” said Suzan. I decided to give one more try, so I drew a deep breath in and closed my eyes again, this time I asked a question and imagined words form in my mind ‘How will I be able to keep an eye on Gizelle without her knowing’ and this time my mind responded by showing a shadow of a bat. I opened my eyes.
“What happen?” asked Suzan.
“I saw a shadow. Shadow of a bat”
“And do you know what it means?” spoke Eric and I nodded.
“We’re going to change our form into bat. It’s one of the abilities of vampires, changing forms into bat. So we’ll be changing our form into bat so they won’t know that they are being watched” I answered and watched everyone smile.
“That’s right” said Adam and I gave a smile to Suzan, thanking her for showing me the way. For telling me that I don’t have to be dependent on anyone but me.
We have been waiting outside Gizelle’s house since 3 in the afternoon and she finally arrived when the sun was about to set, maybe it was 6 pm or something in the language of the clock. We followed her all the way to the forest where the other person was already waiting for her arrival.
“You very well knew that I wanted to kill him then how could you kill him?” the man snapped at Gizelle. His skin was pale and eyes, brown in colour. “Whom did you ask before killing him?” the man added. He was wearing black jeans and grey shirt.
“Excuse me, I don’t need to seek anyone’s permission before doing anything. I do things that benefits me” hearing this, his eyes colour changed from brown to yellow. For sure he isn’t a human. But then what is he? I remembered Gravier’s eyes changing into yellow. Lycan, he’s a lycan! But what does he have to do with Zane? What wrong has Zane done to him? “Anyways haven’t I told you before that if I had to kill him to save my own life” continued Gizelle and I wanted to jump down and kill both of them in one shot. I was angry but I had to bite my tongue. Have to work according to the plan.
“Where is he now? I want to see his body” he ordered.
“Follow me” said Gizelle, unaware that the person is not the only one who’s following her.
They stopped somewhere in the middle of the forest and so did we. She pointed in the direction to her left. “There” she said and the man walked five steps in that direction. There was a big table made of stone and above the stone was a coffin, kept closed. He opened the coffin and I felt my heart heavy as I saw Zane peacefully sleeping there. His body was covered with blood. I wanted to run and hug him but I swallowed my tears. This is not the time to fall weak, I kept telling myself and gained the courage to watch and listen further without reacting. The mission of killing them and seeking revenge is what that has kept me alive.
“With his death, my revenge is over even if I wasn’t the one to kill him, I still can’t forget my brother’s death and how he killed him and from that day itself, I’ve been dreaming of watching him die. I just wanted him dead and now he is. My brother Gravier can now rest in peace” said the man closing the coffin’s lid. “And now that my job is done, I don’t want to see you again.” he said in a bitter tone and they both parted their ways. We have to keep an eye on both of them so me and Adam followed the man and Eric and Suzan went after Gizelle.
We followed him deep down the woods, even deeper than where Gizelle’s small house was. He’s a lycan after all, he’s suppose to reside this deep in forest.
“I think we shouldn’t go any further” Adam said when he went inside his house. We didn’t go inside his house but we did went close to his window. I peeped through the window but could only see the entrance.
“So his name is Bryon” I said to Adam who looked at me perplexed and I pointed towards the photo frame of the two brothers that was hanging on the wall at the entrance. Their names were written on their photos.
“We know his name, his reality that he’s a lycan and also why he was after Zane’s life. Do we need to know anything more?” Adam shrugged at my question.
“Even if we want to know anything, he’s not the one who would answer. And we know that lycans can get powerful than vampires when they come in their real form” Adam got what I was trying to say and he said “This is the time” and I nodded. Now that I know everything about vampires and our enemies, I now know what has to be done further.
“We should not waste any time now and grab the opportunity” I said.
“It takes 1. 5 seconds for lycans to shift their shape from humans but it takes lessor seconds for vampires to decapitate them” I smirked and watched Adam do the same.
“I’ll arrange axe from somewhere” he said.
“Also bring silver bullets as backup” I suggested.
“That’s a great idea” said Adam.
“How will we sneak in?” I asked when Adam returned with an axe and silver bullets along with a rifle.
“Through that” Adam pointed at the door which had enough gap for the bats to pass.
“Let’s do it” we said in unison.
We sneaked in the house and Adam purposely dropped the glass on the floor to invite Bryon in the kitchen meanwhile I hid myself in a way that he doesn’t see me.
No longer than Bryon entered the kitchen, Adam fired at him with silver bullets to distract him or to say, giving him no time to change his shape and come into his real form and I made no mistake from quickly getting out of the place where I was hiding and with full force I swung the axe and decapitated him.
With Bryon’s death, half of our mission was complete. He fell dead on floor and I took a deep breathe of relief. And now it was time to complete the mission and seek our revenge by killing that witch – Gizelle.
