Kingsworld

Chapter 14 (Isabelle POV) "What you feel now, is the vampire in me, a cold-blooded killer," He said and I saw his pupil turn red, it scared me to the core. I have never gotten this killing aura before, my heart hurt for him. "Before I close the human world, just before I went to slumber I did the unthinkable," he said and I can feel the hurt in his voice. "What do you mean?" I asked with my voice coming out dry "As you know, vampire live on blood, for centuries, they use human as a blood bag, forcefully, but now they use animal many still use humans but no longer kill human like before" he scoffed. "Yea, all this became possible because of you," I said remembering what Damien said before the Azalk attack. He laughed "Vampire crave for blood, as a hybrid mine is much more," he said. "I have not seen or hear you suck or attack anyone," I said as a matter of fact. "Yea, that's because of you, you are t...

                                                     Chapter 13 (Isabelle POV) We are now going to the borders, we were about to do the deed when he got the sensations, trespassers, we are both going to check it out, I can feel the fear of the people at the borders, so this is what it means to be the ruler, we serve as protector. "Don't get yourself dirty" Hunter send me a link message, he is running ahead of me and I still think it's not his best. "By dirty you mean killing?" I asked, and he said yes, I also don't plan to, I hope there will be a more diplomatic way to handle things. "We are here," he said and we stopped, I can already smell the blood, "Something is wrong," he said, am just waiting on him to roar like he did the first time, but he is not, I saw, some of my classmates, it's really chaotic. "Roar Hunter," I said in case he forgot. ...

Chapter 31 "Yes," I said as tears flowed "be it now, tomorrow or a thousand years from now, my answer will be yes, because there is no one for me but you," I said and his breathing got louder. "Yes!" He screamed getting peoples attention, did he just forget how I hate attention. "Yes" he screamed again, I drew him down "Scream again and my answer will change," I said and he made a motion to zip his lips, I smiled at how cute he is. He took me straight to see my parents, I never imagine what they will think of this. "As I promised, we won't be getting married or letting it known to the public till she finishes her education," Eric said to my dad and I gasped, he already told my parents "What," I said "He asked for your hand before going to rescue you, so I told him as long as you say yes, we would also accept, but before any marriage rite will be done you must be through with your education," dad...

Chapter 30 The girls took me straight to my parents, they are not in the party hall, they're with Eric grandfather. We passed the party hall before getting here, am surprise the party was still on and people didn't even know about what happened "Mom, dad," I said, they turned and hugged me, mom has tears in her eyes "Thank God you're fine," mom said sobbing, I hugged her back. "I told you to trust my grandson," Papa said with pride, I get Eric told them everything and his plan. "So where is grandmother?" I asked boldly, he shook his head in pain "She's away for now," he said. My dad tabs my back and requested to speak to me alone, I then shift to the corner with him. "Am glad you're safe?" he said "Thanks" "But are you sure you can keep up with this family and their crisis, for even though the culprit was found this time around, they will always have people after them," he said...

Chapter 29 Looking up close, I recognised him, he was there the day at the hospital, I felt Eric vibrating he is really angry "Why?" Eric asked raising his voice, "Cause I want the company," he said with a smirk "It's not your birthright," Eric said "True, but still want it," he said Eric tried to lunge at him but the four guys behind him pulled out a gun. "So you planned all these with your mother," Eric said "Yes, how did you know that?" he asked a bit confused. I felt a happiness surge inside me, even in this dire moment am so happy I was of help to Eric. "What does it matter to you," Eric said, squeezing my hand. "Truthfully it doesn't, cause you all will die here, this wasn't our initial plan to kill you here, we wanted to steal the girl away, send you the address and kill you when you get there," he said and sigh, "But you have just delivered yourself," he said with a ...

Chapter 28 The hoodlum had me tied to a seat, he has removed his mask, he is sure ugly, looking his mid 30, he answered my phone, it's from Eric, I wonder if he has seen the tape. "Seems your boyfriend loves you," he said, I kept quiet I don't have to answer "Soon Anayo will come and we will steal you away," he said "Not possible, it will be awkward walking with you people will notice," I said and he scoffed "We won't leave through the front door Missy, besides you will be drugged," he said and I gasped, "try to scream and I will really shoot, we are away from the party, and I will muffle the sound with these pillows. We are in a room, a big one I thinking it's the grandmother's room, am refusing to cry, this beast won't have the pleasure, he came closer and touched my cheek. "You're beautiful, before this ends I will have a taste of you," he said with a death smile and goosebumps washed over me,...

Chapter 27 (The monsters POV) Its been long she went to the restroom, should I be worried that she left or she is staying longer in the restroom cause she is shy, I smiled at the thought of that. I remembered when she stopped me from fighting, nothing has ever stopped me when am fighting, it takes 3 soldiers to stop me, but just by a mere look she did and from that moment I was whipped. I kept stealing glances at her and hate it whenever she speaks with Kevin, he never deserved her, in truth I also don't cause she is clearly heavenly, am just of earth. I look at my watch, she is clearly wasting a lot of time, I remembered her professing, I so I wanted to tell her how much I love her, but it's too early, my life is dangerous, she might withdraw what she said once she sees the danger in my life. I looked up and saw my grandmother walking up to Papa, mom said I should be careful about her, that was actually her last word, so am always careful with her. I brought out my phon...

Chapter 26 "What are you doing here?" she asked, she is old so I can easily overpower her that's my only confidence. "Listening to your plot," I said confidently "Now you have heard it, what difference does it make," she said, isn't she suppose to be begging, perhaps I played everything wrong in my mind. "I will go tell," I said standing from the toilet, I walked past her to go wash my hand, I need to play along too. "Fine, go" she said coming closer "but who will believe a grandmother will plot against her son" she said, she's right, but she's forgotten one thing, we are in a global age, no matter how rich she is, she is born like 7-8 decades ago, that means she has no idea what technology can do. I moved away from her, brought out my phone and started recording, my heart was frantically beating for I fear she might catch me, she is just behind me, yet she's oblivious. "I've been thinking ...

Chapter 25 This is my second time being here, but am still left in utter awe by its splendor, they're truly rich, everybody is with a mask, luckily that way I can avoid Eric since he won't recognise me, with that I went inside. This party is truly a puzzle, you won't know your friend unless he or she tells you the mask they wear. I looked around and saw Eric, his wearing a tux, I could easily recognise him because of his mask. People keep trooping in to greet them, am glad his grandfather is fine now. I stood there just looking at him, he was looking around like he's searching for someone, my heart whispers it's me but my brain denied. "Sorry" I heard from the guy that bumped into me "Richie?" I said he's wearing a mask and a suit, I recognized him with his voice "Barbara?" he called and I nodded "Why are you in a haste?" I asked "Amina broke up with me this morning and the only way to continue our relationship...

Chapter 24 Friday was worst, even Gabriella said I knew about Eric, I felt so tired worst Eric wasn't in school, even when Amanda stood up for me I still felt defeated. Kevin made sure to plaster how Eric deny having anything special with me and no lover will ever do that. Nothing was enough to brighten my day, even the news of Eric exposing Mr Offor for loathing the company, I was suppose to feel proud for he achieved so much in such a young age, but I still feel sad. So sad I couldn't even cry, I thought crying is the peak of sadness, I thought wrong. The peak of sadness is total tiredness, nothing seem to stir you up, you just become a living dead, counting your step as you walk as if you're heading to your grave. The worst kind of sadness is the love kind of sadness.         I left school without waving anybody, I just want to go home and lie down, when my driver got home I climb down only to stand face to face with Eric. "Barbie" he called, I wanted to ...

Chapter 23         I looked at him, I don't know what I am expecting him to say but I know whatever he says will make a difference and it got my heart pounding. "Barbie barbie, it's too early in the day to think of dinner," he said. We are already at night what is he talking about, it's just his way of saying he doesn't feel the same way. "I will be going inside," I said feeling broken "I will hold my end of the bargain," I said and went inside, I listen for him to call but he didn't. I went inside with mixed feelings, I don't know if I should be happy he's out or I should be sad I didn't get I love you too. I went to school in the morning all eyes were on me, I have only one motive, to convince his friends the reason why he did what he did. I ignored the stare and waited for the delinquents to arrive because I know they are the ones that need the explanation. "And just like that, you became the most popular girl...

Chapter 22 "So now you out in the open are you prepared to shoulder everything?" Mr. Stephenson asked him. "Am ready for all that" he answered looking at me, Mr. Stephenson walked towards me and held my hand "I don't know what you did to him, but whatever it is, am eternally grateful," he said, I felt so high, Mr. Stephenson, among the top ten richest in the country, is grateful towards me "Am honoured sir," I said and he smiled. "Papa, from the monthly company file you sent me, I found out there is a loop in the company's account, someone is stealing from the company and he or she knows how to hide his/her track." He said I looked at him, right now he doesn't look like the same teenage boy I walked the stairs with, he is now the heir of a mobile network company. "Oh, what to do?" papa asked, but not phased. "Give out the call to have every member surveyed," he replied, I feel so inferior, he is i...

Chapter 21             I don't have to look at peoples face to see how surprised they are, soon reporters will hear about this, I wonder what he's planning. "Barbie, now am out to the world, how do you suppose I go visit my grandfather" he whispered to me, I smiled I felt so important for he relied on me, "We can take my car," I said, and I saw his eyes lit up "this way," I said leading the way still holding him, am not planning on leaving this sweet sensation. We entered my car and drove off, he told the driver the address. "Before we get there the reporters might be there so you can go after dropping me," he said, but I can feel his reluctance. "Shhh, am in it till the end," I said and he smiled "Would I be considered hormonal teenage boy if I kiss you," he asked whispering, I giggled, I kissed him instead, I planned to make it a quick one so my driver wouldn't see it, but he held me and deepened the kiss,...

Chapter 20 He slowly removed his mask, and by God, the photo did him no justice, he is more handsome looking at him up close "My beautiful monster" the word left my lips as I caress over his face, he leans to my touch, his perfect smooth face, his pink lips well-carved nose, all my life I've been a sucker for cute guys but the person standing before can easily be heralded as the handsomeness reincarnation. The unexpected happened, he leaned forward and place his lips on mine, suddenly a wave of emotion swept me off my feet and I had to grab on to him in other not to fall. He nibbled on my lips and I moaned he used the opportunity to deepen the kiss. I know there is no school that teaches how to kiss, but Eric is a perfect kisser like he learned it from the best school. I held on, as the kiss made goosebumps assault me, I felt my lower stomach explode with fireworks, I squeezed him tighter, he left my lips and kissed my neck just below my ear, the feeling was just heav...

Chapter 19 "It's Eric" I muttered "What did you say?" Amina asked since she did not hear what I said, I looked at her, should I tell her or just keep quiet. "Nothing," I said, it's not my position to say and I need to be sure "Give me the phone, my driver is here," Gabriella said and left, Amina left too after her goodbyes and that's when my driver arrived, he apologized, which I didn't need, he is old enough to be my father. I got home and took out my phone, I browsed up the pics, I typed in Mr. Stephenson's grandson and his picture appeared, there are a lot of rumours about him but I ignored them and stare only at the picture, I have a lot to uncover, I took my bath and prepared. "You are all fine today?" my mom asked being surprised at my recovery, she has no idea how healthy I am now. "Yea seems the medicine was magic," I said already heading outside. "Mom, I have to visit a friend, mind if...

Chapter 18 I watched as the bus arrived and everybody came down except Eric, so my coming was a waste, we all went to class, some of the teachers asked about my health, I was really surprised, this school is sure different. "I don't know what you heard about me," Kevin said sitting behind me, that's Eric seat, no one has the right to sit on it, I stood up and turn to him, I want to eat him up. "Get up from there," I said I don't care if I was a bet to him, am angry he caused trouble for Eric and here he is on his seat. "What?" he asked not believing the intonation I used. "I said get up from that seat" I shouted, I heard gasped from the student, Kevin looked at me in awe, he left the sit back vacant for the owner, I stood there gazing at the seat as tears flows, I started sobbing, I miss him, his smile, his dark eyes, warm hands I miss all of him. I ran from the class to the restroom, I shouldn't have come today, I was rinsi...

Chapter 17 "Never have you ever cried because of illness" my mom said baffled, dad is away on a business trip, I kept crying when I got home, my body so hot. She is right I've never cried because of an illness, but today I cried cause its an emotional illness. "Don't worry the doctor is on the way" she said and left me in my room, I need to see him that's the only way I can be cured. The doctor came and administered some drugs, my mom wanted drip, but he said not yet, that if by tomorrow that am not getting better then he will give me the drip. I slept off since I was so tired, I woke up later at night, I brought out my phone to surf the internet but my data have exhausted, I don't know to recharge through the bank I just dropped it and put on the TV. To my greatest surprise, they were showing barbie, fairytopia, I smiled as I watched it. I slept off again after the movie. When I woke up it already 9am. I rushed to the kitchen. "Mom why d...

Chapter 16 I locked lips with him and everything stopped, I heard nothing else just the sound of my heart, I felt nothing else just my lips on his, at 7:00 Friday day night, I had my first kiss, with my monster. I broke off the kiss, not waiting a second I ran to the gate and went inside, he didn't call back, I must have made a fool out of myself. I went to bed immediately, not that am tired, I just need to be alone, I touched my lips as I lay down, he tasted like vanilla, I still feel his lips, cause mine keep throbbing. "How will I face him on Monday," I said, how frustrating, I screamed into my pillow, I feel like exploding, I remember clearly when he said he has never fallen in love. "Am hopeless," I said, I smiled as I remembered the basketball, I went on a date with Kevin but actually had fun with Eric. When I told him Kevin called it wasn't because I needed help, I just want to keep talking to him. He really gave me a fairytale, I remembered his ...

Chapter 15      "It's getting late, time to leave before they noticed I snuck out," he said bringing me out of my trance, I swallowed before speaking for my throat is dry. "Yea, my mom will soon call," I said and stood up, I went and wore my sandals slowly, he dressed up before I finished buckling my sandals "Let's be going," he said and I followed. "Why did you snuck out?" I asked and he shrugged. "I had a date," he said and I gasped "not that type of date Barbie," he said, should I really be bothered, I stopped as I watched him walk ahead. I thought Bella was stupid for falling for a beast, even though the beast was prince charming, I hated Fiona for falling for Shrek, even turning to an Ogre just to be with Shrek. But right now am starting to see the reason for their action, Love is beyond human reasoning it's really blind. For here I stand falling for the boy in the mask, even when he is considered a mon...

Chapter 14 We left the restaurant, he paid, everybody now turned their attention to the boy in the mask, he took me by the hand and led me away. People kept looking at him, its as if he took my embarrassment and made it his. "So how can I pay you back?" I asked once we are outside, I don't know if he's rich like others, so I just have to pay him back. "Don't worry, you don't have to," he said. "I have to, I won't be at peace if I don't," I said as more tears float I wiped it with the back of my hand. He came closer, "if you must, then how about paying with a hug," he said and wrapped his arms around me, he is warm, I hugged back, I sniffed him, he smells like vanilla, I hugged tighter, he soothes my back. I cried more, it's true what they say, a hug is the best gift for it wraps you all. "Let it all out," he said, I cry not because Kevin disgraced me. I cry not because everyone has their eyes on us and...

Chapter 13         I kept hanging out with Eric and we got close, he laughs more with me, Amina kept asking where I spend my break time, I gave her the excuse of reading since we will take our waec next term, it's not entirely a lie since I also Read with Eric. "So you guys will have your date today?" he asked, if not for him occasionally reminding me, I would've forgotten it. "Yea," I answered and am annoyed by it, he smiled "Have fun," he said, I wanted to tear out his lips, he's not even jealous, why would he be, I am nothing to him, at most am just a friend. I looked at him, he'ss reading his chemistry, if am just a friend to him, then what is he to me? I still don't know. After school dismissed he left, Richie was sad cause they have to spend this weekend at the camp, not just him but all the delinquent. "Mom am heading out," I said, she just turned from the TV to look at me "Where?" she asked, "Me...

Chapter 12        I was overjoyed when I heard the bell for the break, it means I get to spend time with him, he never leaves the class during the break I hope he remembers the date. I walked towards the door, on reaching I turned at him he already has his eyes on me, that made me gay, I smiled and so did he. He just gave me the answer am looking for, I went to our spot to wait for him, our spot, sounds nice. I didn't wait long he came almost immediately, I smiled as I saw him coming, his gentle walk always amaze me, how can such monster have a gentle walk. "Looks like somebody misses me," I said giggling like a fool, he scoffed "Barely, I was just taught never to keep a lady waiting," he said and sat beside me, close enough that our shoulders were touching, now I hate the cloth that serves as a barrier. I need to figure out my feelings "So what did he say?" he asked handing a juice and a mince pie, I guess I was too focused on him I didn't ...

Chapter 11       Why do I have this fantasy of him, we're not even considered friend, his eyes keeps sucking me in, each time. "So Barbie, I must collect," he said and withdrew, I touched my face, it's hot, I must be blushing like a red tomato. "What's the call about?" he asked facing front, I hope he didn't notice the blush, I stuttered "He's angry I sneaked away, so I promised to make it up to him," I said, honestly am more interested in talking with Eric than making it up to Kevin. "Instead of making an assumption, ask first what he wants, it will reduce you the worry," he said, "Yea that's true, I will ask him, let us meet during break then I will tell you his response," I said. "Wow Barbie, what an authoritative way of asking a guy out on a date," he said "What?" I almost yelled "You just asked me on a date Barbie," he said with a smile, my eyes widened, I just did. ...
