FIRE ON FIRE

The weather was hot in the streets of LA as the youths walked around in summer clothes, laughing and talking as I walked in the streets.It seemed my charisma was enough to draw attention as all the humans stared at me in admiration and praise as I strutted the streets.It wasn't my fault I called attention like a succubus it was what we vampires saw as our charm.This charm was very helpful for hypnosis as humans get lost, staring into face and subconsciously created patterns in their head that gets us into their mind.I should have taken the car to come to the company I had built with my blood and sweat.No one knew I was the owner. The human who fronted as the CEO was aware of what I was, taking orders from me and passing on when his feeble and old.It would be difficult controlling the company if the CEO refused to...age.I stopped at the receptionist, putting my details down as I stared into her eyes."I'm here to

I covered my left eye with my left hand as my breath slowly got under control.Adam? Who was Adam?Why did he look so much like that man I saw earlier?Speaking of earlier…how did I get home?“You’re awake. Thank goodness.” Lea said as she dropped some warm towels on the table and touched my forehead.“What are you doing?” I asked in confusion as she took down her hand.“I am checking if your temperature has lowered. You’ve had a fever for the past three days.” Lea explained as I stared at her in disbelief.“That’s, that’s not possible. I’m supposed to be dead! I’m a vampire and we can’t get colds!”“I know that but something strange happened to you. Your body felt like a bottomless pit, absorbing as much blood as possible while you were sick. If you

I smiled late in the night as I felt the cool breeze touching my skin in this crowded city. Everyone was bustling and hustling, car horns honking and people talking about what they would do when they get home or their night shift activities.I felt whole and complete, filled with a joy I couldn't explain as I thought of that werewolf and his name."Elijah." The name felt so sweet leaving my lips as I hummed.Something about him was different from all the other men I have ever knew. His name felt dainty, sweet in my head like the time I had gone for Antonio Vivaldi four seasons concert in the eighteenth century.Then music had value and taste was exquisite not now everything was a clashing symbol but then again, blood was spilled without shame."Eliza."I paused in my steps when I heard that name from a ghastly voice.I turned around to search out where that voice was coming from but found no source as my heart beat sped up a

The ride home was quiet but it was a comfortable silence as Elijah pulled back his bike in front of my house and I came down from the bike and handed him the helmet he insisted I wear since it was daytime.“I guess this is goodbye for now.” Elijah said as I nodded.“You can come over when you want a real treat.” I said as I flashed my fangs before he chuckled.“I never knew how full I could ever be in my life.” Elijah said as he patted his stomach as I laughed.“Call me when you get home.” I insisted as I collected my jacket and purse.I pulled my hair behind my hair before I pecked Elijah’s cheek and quickly walked to my house before I turned back to a dumbfounded Elijah who was smiling like he was assuring everything that happened was real before he pulled down his helmet and drove off.

“Sorry I’m late.” I apologized as I kissed Elijah’s cheek before he held my hands.“It’s alright. Lea doesn’t seem to like me very much that was why she held you prisoner.” Elijah said as I heaved.“You have no idea but that’s why I love her. She’s the only person who has never left my side even up till this day. Lea’s my only stability in my long life.” I explained as a soft smile pasted on my lips.Elijah frankly looked jealous but didn’t complain as he nodded before I held his hand.“But there’s no one who has made me interested in them for more than a day and still be a sight for pretty eyes.” I said as I smoldered his cheeks before I kissed the soft flesh.Elijah carried me in his arms as I shrieked before I wrapped my arms around his neck not caring about the humans that were staring at us and whispering at how great we looked together or ho
