( One more chapter to go )
” I’m gonna be like him. I’m gonna be a lycan, right?”
” No, Lora you’re not going to be any way like him okay? Dionne is a monster, and you’re not. Come on, let’s clean you up.”
She helped me stand to my feet, with her hands around my wa-ist, we walked down to the bathroom. I was bleeding profusely from the bite and it f-cking hurts a lot.
I know what the bite means as much as everyone does, it’s a sign of one thing I don’t want to think about. One I have from the start so much feared. One which explains the new connection Dionne and I shares.
One I referred to as “His Mark.”
Wherever he is, I can feel him. His anger, his wrath, his rage, I can feel them all burning in me, like he was in me and I in him. But there’s only one thing I fear now, I fear the lycan’s might win this war.
Just how prepared he is, I don’t wanna think of him winning this battle. By all means, Dionne must die.

~ Elise ~
The days were passing so fast. The vampires are patiently awaiting for the lycan’s to strike. Démon, I with Miss Martin and Mrs Meyers with the three other guys, we left to the vampire castle.
Here in the vampire kingdom, everything looks a lot different from the human race. The castle was always dark that one won’t know when it was neither day nor night.
Everything done here were of royalty. Like those lifestyles practices in those Horace Walpole’s novels. They are lots of rooms in here, sometimes I spend most of my time sitting in my large chamber. Only on occasion do I go out to meet Démon or sometimes, he’s the one to visit me.
I can’t imagine the wh0le war thing between the vampires and lycan’s. I’ve read a lot about them in books and internet’s. I know that lycan’s are ten times stronger than vampires, what is Démon’s fate in this war?
I just hope victory will be for him at the last and by all means, that Dionne of a thing will die once and for all. Miss Martin gave me a new phone and just a minute ago, Flo texted me that she wanted to tell me something.
I just hope everything is all right. Not hearing from them a long time ago bothered me. I dialed her number, waiting patiently for her to pick up. “Flo, is there a problem?” I asked.
“Yes, Elise. It’s Lora.”
“What happened to her?” I asked, curiosity clouding my head.
” Dionne, he bit her and she isn’t getting any better. She won’t let me take her to the hospital. Elise I don’t know what to do, what if she becomes like him?”
” No, Flo, she won’t. Look, I’ll talk with Mr Noméd to see if he can help her.”
” Okay, thanks.”
” Flo?” I called.
” Yes?”
” When you said he bit her, what do you actually meant by that?”
” Last the day you left, Dionne has been visiting my house. Last two nights, he came to her room. He manipulated her mind and s-xed her, I think he didn’t just bite her, I think he marked her too.”
” Is she around, put her on the phone I wanna talk with her.”
” Give me a sec…” She mute the call. I never expected Dionne to have gone this far. He is probably getting ready to convert everything to himself.
But why Lora?
“Hello Elise, can you hear me?” Her voice was cold and dull.
” Yes, babe, I can hear you.”
” You heard what happened, right?”
” Yes, Flo told me. Lora you don’t have to be scared, we’ll fix this together, I promise.”
She chuckled. ” I know. Guess it’s your turn save my ass. Where are you now?”
” At Mr Noméd’s place. I’ll tell Miss Martin to come pick you guys up, okay. Whatever that is about to happen, it’s just not safe out there.”
” Don’t let Dionne. He mustn’t win this war. Please… or we all are gonna die.”
” He won’t, I promise you that.”
” Hi Elise.” Flo said.
” Please take care of her for me. Miss Martin will come pick you guys and we’ll find a way to end all this once and for all. Okay?”
” Okay. You take good care of yourself too and…my crush.”
I laughed. ” I will. I will.”
” Bye Elise.”
” Bye Flo.” We hanged the call. I exhaled deeply, rubbing my eyes. I really pity Lora, she’s probably going through a lot now. I know how it feels being bitten, it’s probably not as good as it sounds.
The full moon comes out tomorrow night. Now the question is, “What is the date of the humans?”

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE:
Final Chapter:
They stood face to face. The lycan’s angrily growling at the vampire while the vampires hissed at them.
Lora, Flo and I stood somewhere so far from the battlefield but clear enough to watch as the fight would go. I was so much happy each time I watch people fight, but this time, my heart was on my hands.
” Do you think the lycan’s will win?” Flo asked.
” No, they can’t. I believe in Démon, he’ll won’t let Dionne win. ”
” Excuse me, who is Démon? ” Flo asked.
” The principal. Mr Noméd. ” I frankly said.
” How come you knew his name and we don’t? ” She said.
” You never asked. ”
” Girls, this is not the time for the crazy argument, let’s just hope this war ends up with the vampires winning. I’m really scared now, I can feel the anger of Dionne. It’s too much and if Démon doesn’t do something, we’ll all be doomed. ”
” Stop saying that, okay. No one is gonna die. ” I told her. I hated it when they think we will lose.
” I’m not saying we all are, it’s just a feeling I got. ”
” I trust Démon, I think you guys have to trust him too. ”
” Arrgh!.. ” Lora gro-ned painfully, covering her both ears. ” No, don’t. Stop it, just stop it okay.”
Flo looked at me for a second, then held Lora who shivered, staring confused at us.
” What happened?” She asked, still confused.
” What happened?” Flo repeated. ” Lora you just mentally left for a moment and you’re asking us what happened. We should be asking you that. ”
She shook her head. ” It’s Dionne, he knows I’m here. ”
” What did he say?” Curious, I asked.
” He wants me to trust him, to believe that he’s going to win the fight.”
“How is that even possible? How did he knows we are here ? ” Flo asked, surprised.
” He bit me remember? And we’re already connected to each other. ”
We stopped talking, watching as the fight went on. It really wasn’t going so well, number of vampires kept dying compared to that of the lycan’s.
What if Dionne is right?
What if they really will win this fight?

~ Writer’s POV ~
The war was getting tougher and tougher each minute. The number of dead vampires were greater than that of the lycan’s.
The war won’t have to be Dionne winning, will it?
Now that the wh0le world depends on him, he mustn’t give chance for the enemy to take over, will he?
Démon and Dionne seems not to give each other the chance to pull over. One hit from one and another from the other.
“Oh, Démon, what makes you think that you can save the world? Look around you, you’re already losing it. Your men are dying, you have only few left to keep fighting.”
Dionne looked around, he had only few standing but the lycan’s weren’t dropping in number.
” Aren’t you just gonna give up and save your life with your people’s? It’s not too late to surrender, Démon, and I promise I won’t hurt your kind. ”
He hissed loudly, the anger of watching as he was losing the fight burned in him. The world depends on him, innocent lives depends on him.
And he rather die with him than to give up. He threw an angry look at Dionne, ” Promise me that in hell. ”
Démon held Dionne’s head, smacking him to the ground. They fought and fought and fought, receiving bruises from the other.
Someone held Démon from the side, and another which made it impossible for him to break free. He struggled, but as he kept breaking free, more kept holding him.
Dionne moved a hundred steps backwards, running with full speed. He threw himself high, almost landing his fangs on him when Lora stood before Démon, her hands spread wide.
Trying to pull himself to a stop but it was too late as his fangs fell on Lora’s chest.
” Lora!! ” Flo scre-med from afar, while Elise’s eyes w¡dened in shock and fear.
No, no. It didn’t just happened, did it?
Her dream didn’t just happened in reality, did it?
Lora leaving their side all happened in a blink of an eye. They didn’t know how but they all were watching the fight and before they could even notice her absence, she was far gone away from them.
At an instant, the war came to a sudden stop. Those who held Démon let him go, and Lora fell on his arms, bleeding profusely.
” Why would you do that for me?” Démon asked her.
” You don’t have to die, no one has to die anymore. You still have a long way to go but I don’t.” She cried, gro-ning painfully. ” Take care of Elise… for me. Take care of her.”
Flo and Elise fell beside her body, “why would you do such a thing, Lora? Why?” Elise cried.
” To save your pathetic ass, bitch. ” She forced herself to laugh. ” I’m not gonna die, okay? It’s just a little scratch, I’ll be fine. ”
” You’re f-cking bleeding, Lora and you’re losing a lot. This doesn’t look like you’re going to survive it. This isn’t just a scratch, Lora and it’s definitely not funny either. ”
” Hey, it’s alright. Even if I die, I’ll be happy. ” She exhaled heavily, rising her eyes at Dionne who had already turned to his human form. “I’ve always waited for a day like this, not only to be loved but to die by the hands of the one I once loved. You think you’re gonna win, huh? “She chuckled. ” You just lossed, assh0le. ”
She sniffed, ” Why don’t we just end this once and for all, leave the humans and never return? Why don’t we just… go home, far away from here and live alone, happily… forever? Just the two of us… together. ”
Her breath increased, like any second she was gonna give up. “I don’t regret my actions, Elise, ” her gaze at her friends. ” I’m sorry this is how it has to end. Don’t miss me, don’t you ever think of me. You’ve got keep moving, you and Flo. Try not to act so stupid like me. Let me go with him, for that’s where I belong. ”
They shifted for Dionne to take her body, ” Good-bye, Flo. Good-bye, Elise. Till we meet again.” And off they all disappeared.

For almost a week and, Flo and Elise has never left their room. They refused to eat, drink or even say a word to anyone.
They knew how it felt to lose a part of them cos it f-cking hurts, especially when you’ll never see them again.
For days… Weeks… Months or even… Years.
~ A Year Later. ~
Flo successfully gained scholarsh¡p to the Oxford university. She studied as a Mass Communication but works also as an artist for various high schools and colleges.
Sometimes, she’d paint a picture of herself with Lora and Elise together. And there was this favorite drawing she had drew the three of them together, which she used to make her wall and floor carpet.
Life without Lora was lonely but bearing her memories was like her being around.
Elise on the other side, got pregnant for Démon’s first child. She has always thought that being a human was the sweetest part of life, but no. Being a vampire was life itself.
A new life and a living death.
Forever… Till eternity.

You know, while I was writing this chapter, I was crying. Although, it is just a Fiction of my imagination but, it really hurts like I was watching it real life.
It really pained me when I had to make Lora sacrifice her life, then accept a fate with the lycan’s. All this is for destiny to prevail. 😭😭
But well, it’s okay. I’m cool now.. 😔😔😔 although not yet, cool but I’m still getting myself together.
