BOOK ONE : TALE OF FRANKENSTEIN
CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN: DEPARTURE 2
Ava remain seated on the couch, different thoughts move in her head, this is wrong, you shouldn’t do this, what will mother and sister think?
Those were the thoughts that flood my head but I wanted more, I spent a week, trying to learn more about Frankenstein and what I saw was incredible, it was sick and so surreal
I couldn’t believe it but I want it, I want more of it, if this will bring rose to me, I need it ” you are here?” Hearing that voice, I stand to my feet and turn around, the boy standing there is not who I expected to be there
” Where is Mr dracula”
” He is in a meeting right now” if am to guess right, he should be around eighteen or seventeen
” Are you his son?”
” Son?” The boy look at me as if I have lost it ” I am his brother ” his eyes eat me up, I notice how he stare at me before hissing ” not delicious enough…..wait there for him, he should be back soon ”
This man seem interesting, maybe I could learn more from him ” will you mind keeping me company?”
” I do Ava” he mumble calmly ” you’re too bitter for my taste ”
” At least help me out” my voice seem a little too pathetic for my likening ” is he horrible” Just as I expected, he didn’t even give me any reply, he just left me in the living room
Sitting down once more I exhale and decided to scroll on Facebook while waiting for him, it literally took the bastard, five hours before he arrive
The moment the door open, I stand to my feet and turn around, I watch him closely, putting on a silver coloured suit, black hair tied in a ponytail and those blue eyes look at me with intensity ” what do I have here?” He move closer and drop his phone on the middle table ” a little lesbian”
” I will prefer you call me by my name ”
” Ava isn’t it?” He say my name and then sit down, I didn’t sit, I just watch him light his cigarettes, exactly like Frankenstein before placing it in his mouth ” sit down Ava”
Doing as he did, I decided to say what I need ” I wish to become like you ”
” Like me?”
I nod ” yes ”
” What am I Ava?”
” Vampire” I said it without hesitation ” that’s what Frankenstein is, I want to gain that power too ”
” Power?” He blow out the smoke and smile ” I don’t know what you keep talking about Ava ”
” I need it ” looking at him ” I really need do need your help ” he said nothing else, just kept watching me ” I need to kill Frankenstein”
” Kill?”
I nod ” I have to kill him ”
“Even if it means sleeping with me? ” Looking at him, I notice how calm and collected he ” if you wish for me to do something for you then you need to fulfill my wish too ”
” What?”
He stand to his feet and move closer to me ” two conditions Ava, sleep with me or kill rose ” my eyes widen from his words ” I personally want you kill rose ”
” I can’t ”
” So you will share my bed?”
” I can’t either” grabbing my bag I look at him ” excuse me ” I try leaving but his men stop me, just a mere look at them one will know he or she is no match
” What do you take me for?” Dracula mumble while smiling ” do you think people who knows my true identity, live long?”
It was then I knew.
Rose look out the coffee shop and exhale, it’s Been three days, just three days and I miss him, I have no idea where his mansion is anyway.
It was a miracle the manger even let me come back to work, I thought he will send me away and about my school….I already miss so much and failed to pay my fees, they are on holiday now
I should start afresh, to think I was in my final year. Closing the coffee shop, I grab my bag and walk slowly back home, I look around the streets, been awhile I was capable to walk like this
I do know car is enjoyable but walking feels free, I know for a fact that I miss Frankenstein, I want to see his face and all that but I do not wish to leave in that prison any more
I don’t know why Frankenstein let me go but am okay, am going to be fine and this is just how it will be…..I hate Frankenstein for making me to miss alot of things in my life, this is not the ancient days you can just keep someone close forever
” Rose!!” Hearing that voice, I turn around and wave at Ava who is running towards me ” I was looking for you?”
” Oh, I just finished working ” looking at her close, I notice how she look weird, a little bit sad ” are you okay?”
” Of course ” she smile ” am not the one that got kidnapped you know ”
” It wasn’t like that, you know” walking back home, we remain quiet, this doesn’t happen often, she is not the kind to be this quiet, these days she is dressing more like a guy
Her brown hair has been shorten ” listen rose ” looking at her, I had to stop walking
” What’s wrong Ava ”
” I love you rose ” she look at me and step close, she has always been taller than I am….I had to lift my head a little ” I will take good care of you ”
” Ava”
” I don’t need an answer now rose ” she smile ” I will need one when I remain though ”
” Return?”
She nod ” am traveling far but will be back soon”
” Will you be alright?”
” Yes ” she lean close and hug me ” I will be fine and will return soon, just stay away from Frankenstein and wait for me ”
” Ava am not….”
” I know rose ” smiling she step back ” I will become a man for you ” I watch her wave before crossing the streets and into the dark, I guess my life is somewhat weird
” Oh God why!!!” I growl then touch my face before realizing am crying, I should just go home.
Fastening my steps home, I wonder why the lights are still on in the living ” am home!!!!” Mumbling, I move pass the living room but then stop, that scent.
I know that smell
Turning around I watch William trying a new perfume ” where did you get that?”
He shrug ” found it outside, with this jacket ” my eyes move to the jacket and it hit me, that’s Frankenstein’s.
” It’s mine ” grabbing the jacket I run upstairs to my room, shut the door and sit on the bed, not to be angry or anything.
Hugging the jacket to myself, I inhale his scent, that kind of scent you get after a heavy rain….. tears drop from my eyes, he knows what he is doing to me….he didn’t let me go.
It’s punishment.
But why?

BOOK ONE : TALE OF FRANKENSTEIN
CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT: DEPARTURE 3
Frankenstein remain standing while Luciano speak ” a tall man took the perfume and jacket ” he mumble ” I did some research about him, that’s rose uncle ”
” Uncle?”
” Yes, that’s her mother brother ”
” I Know what an uncle is Luciano” mumbling, I move towards my chair and sit down ” how is she?”
” You mean rose?” I nod and he continued ” she seem kind of sad milord, it looks like she has a lot of things in her head these days ”
” Hmmm” looking through the window, I nod ” set the car, I will like to go to that coffee shop this Evening ”
” So you will be bringing rose back?” Pavarotti who has been quiet ask and I shake my head
” Who said anything about bringing her back?” Smiling I inhale more from the cigarettes, the burn making me cool down alot, for some reason I want her to stab me more and more, I miss that feeling
I miss her presence, I miss the disgusted look she always gives me.
I know for sure that she will be angry with me, I know that she hug that jacket tight last night while sleeping, she miss me and I want to see how she will react when she sees me
It’s been a week, I have withdraw myself from her for a week, that’s the hardest thing I have ever done in my life, staying away, not able to threaten and touch her.
Who would have thought that I will like her this much ” little red ” mumbling I blow out the smoke and smile ” you will be mine forever”
Few hours passed before I got up and move to my car, Luciano drive me to the shop, arriving there, I didn’t get out, I watch her through the window, how she fake that smile while serving coffee and snacks.
Her hair roll in a messy bun, few of them touching her face, she is putting on a white apron but the dress, it’s blue colour
That made me frown, blue? She knows I hate that colour, how can she wear such a thing. Clenching my hands I wait till the coffee shop is completely filled up with people
That was when I step in, take my seat, I lean back a little then ring the little bell on the table ” sir?” I stare at another lady
” You’re not rose ”
” She is on a break right now, what kind of coffee will you like ”
” I will like rose to be here ”
” Am sorry but…..” Leaning close, I glare at her and watch her step back immediately, I do have that effect on people
” Bring her to me”
” Yes sir ”
Watching her enter another room, I fold my hands and wait for more than an hour, she is no where to be seen, getting tired, I move towards that door and stare at the girl I ask to bring rose
” She said something like shit and ran away ”
” She ran?”
The girl with red hair nod ” seem like she hates you sir ”
” Hate?” Looking at my wrist watch, it’s almost six pm, she must be heading home now, ignoring this stupid girl I ran through the back door at full speed, I felt her presence the moment I pass her but didn’t stop, I know just the place I should be
That stupid red, making me run like this, I will need more blood later.
Rose fasten her steps away from the coffee shop, when she saw Frankenstein from the pinhole in the door, her heart couldn’t stop racing from joy, yes. I wanted to hug him and that’s what made me run
Why is he back?
To take me away from my life again?
I won’t accept that, the sun is starting to set, mum should be preparing dinner, I will help out with that
Arriving home, I take off my shoes ” am home!!!” I half yell then throw my bag on the couch ” William, stop drinking my milk ” snatching the bottle from his hands I frown ” get ours ”
” You keep getting mean rose, I still wonder how you manage to get a boyfriend” his word made me to stop moving upstairs
” Boyfriend?”
He nod ” that tall handsome guy, he is upstairs waiting for you, what’s his name again?”
” Frankenstein?” I mumble, the milk bottle fell from my hands, what is he doing in here, should I run.
” Your mum went to the grocery store to get more ingredients, she seem to like him ” Williams give me a thumb up ” you have good eyes rose ”
” He is not my boyfriend” I growl ” and I hate him ” I watch confusion in William eyes but I didn’t mind that, moving upstairs, I open my room door slowly, step in shut it
He is standing right there, facing the window, I think he really love putting on black ” little red ” he mumble ” change your cloth, I hate blue ”
” I don’t want to ”
” I can’t look at you if you don’t” my hands and legs work on their own, I end up putting on a red short and red crop top ” did you miss me ” he turn around and I finally got to see his face, he didn’t smile, I couldn’t help it, my eyes are tearing up
” I hate you ”
” I fulfill your wish little red ” he frown ” you ask me to free you, I did that ”
” I hate you ” those were the words I could form, no other word seem to be coming out of my mouth, I watch him widen his arms
” Come”
Once again my legs betrayed me, I don’t want to hug him but I did anyway, crying I growl ” you punished me didn’t you ” inhaling his scent I tighten my hug ” don’t do that again ”
” Little red ”
Sniffing I mumble ” I miss you so much Franklin ” I had no control of the words I keep saying ” I had no idea what I did to make you leave me, forgive me okay?” Crying I kept on speaking ” don’t leave me anymore, I want to be with you, promise me”
” Little red ” looking up at him, I was surprised to see his cheeks stain with a red colour ” your mother and uncle are watching” he is embarrassed
Those words made me withdraw and turn around, mum face has no expression” mum, I didn’t…..”
” So he is the one rose ” she mumble ” he is the reason you have been sad this days ” watching her frown, I know something bad is about to happen ” don’t stand there, we are going to the kitchen and you are cooking”
My eyes widen and I look at a surprise Frankenstein” me??” He mumble, I have notice how he act towards elders, he is respectful but why?
” Mum, I don’t think ….”
She cut me off ” you both are cooking, hurry up……am starving” with that William wink at me and they both left, shutting the door.
” Little red ” Frankenstein mumble ” can I kill her?”
And the Frankenstein I know is back.
” Definitely Not!!!”
He shrug ” just asking”
