I woke up drenched in my sweat and tears. I could feel my body shaking from the aftermath.
"Bad dreams?" Darcy said in the dark.
He startled me. How did he get in? I asked myself.
"Your door was open" he replied as usual.
"Yes bad dreams. It has been reoccurring for a while now" I replied him. Then I got up to take some water.
"Hmmm, Tell me about it"he asked in a very deep voice as he walked up to me. Now I could see his chiseled face illuminating in the dark.
He smelt like the white flowers I smelt earlier in the garden. That means he has been awake and in the garden, but why did he come in here?
"Are you going to keep talking to yourself in your head or save us both our time and tell me about your dreams?" He interrupted my thoughts.
"I keep seeing you. Dead" I added not sure of how he would feel.
"This would be the funniest thing I've heard for the past few decades " he said chuckling.
"Tell me, what do you know about corrupted vampires?" He asked while sitting on my bed close to where I sat.
"That they are stronger and insatiable?" I replied
"Yes. But one thing that they all regret about being a corrupted vampire is that, they can't be killed no matter what" he said looking into the space like he was sad about that.
"Then why become one if you still want to die?" I asked.
"Circumstances." He said subtly and then wanted to add something when he suddenly paused.
"Someone else is in the house" he said and left immediately.
I got up and put on my hoodies because of the cold and joined him. I came out of my room and didn't see him anymore or anyone. I heard a noise downstairs and decided to go down and check if he was with the person.
I got to the living room and didn't see anybody then I listened and heard the noise now coming from the garden outside. I called out Darcy but I didn't get any reply then I headed for the back door.
"Who is there?" I asked
I heard something running through the flowers and looked but couldn't see anything and when I looked back I was startled by someone…..or something.
Before I could scream it was beheaded. I saw Darcy behind with it's head on his hands.
"Who asked you to come out?"
" I was worried" I replied trying so hard not to show how scared I was.
"Go back to your room now!!" He screamed.
I ran inside immediately and didn't stop till I got to my room. I laid down on my bed shaking. What was that? And why did he kill it?
I dosed off on my bed while waiting for him but he never came back.
DARCY's Point Of View:
I couldn't sleep all night and I decided to take a stroll in the garden. I remembered always sitting in this garden. It was very peaceful and charming.
I walked past my favorite Melianthus flowers. As white as I could imagine and it smelt like her. My thoughts drifted to her and I wondered whether she was asleep.
Before I knew it I was in her room watching her. She was sleeping but not peacefully, I wondered what she was dreaming about that made her frown like that. Then I saw the tears, she has been crying and I couldn't help but wiped it away. I didn't know what happened next but I could now see her dreams.
Like I was there with her, I saw myself dead and then I saw her at the verge of dying. Just before her last breath I kissed her and then I was back in her room.
I looked at her and saw that she was waking up then I went for the door. But she opened her eyes before I could leave then I decided to discuss her dreams with her.
We were still talking about it when I felt something. A death reaper. What is it looking for?
I am able to feel it because I am almost dead myself. I went downstairs immediately and felt it more in the garden. I went there and was checking for it around.
That was when I saw it standing in front of her like it came for her. I moved immediately and killed it. Then I told her to go back to her room. I took it's body to the back of the house to bury it and while I was digging I saw another dead reaper's body.
By morning, I dashed into George's room and grabbed him then punched him in the face.
"Why didn't you tell me?" I screamed with anger.
"I am sorry young master but he asked me not to tell you " George replied.
I left George's room to his room. I opened the door and saw him laying there almost dead.
"Why hide such important information from me?" I asked him.
"Because of how you would react" Lord Angord replied
"What makes you think that keeping it from me was a better option" I said with anger.
" I don't want you to do anything, I killed the other one just because I wanted to see you first. I didn't want to go without seeing you" Lord Angord said trying to sit up.
"Please lay down back" I said and sat beside him. "It's inevitable and you know the consequences" I added.
"I know but it is worth it. Besides how did you find out?" Lord Angord asked while furrowing his brows.
"The second one came and I mistakenly killed it because I thought it came for Celeste." I said and became worried immediately.
" It did come for her because it's not yet time for mine to come again" Lord Angord said "I killed the first one just last month. It's not up to 3 months yet". He added
I got up immediately and became more worried.
"Does this means?"
