Chapter 23: Chapter 23

The Red Moon

Dimitro

"Let's continue our dance and don't be scared, you have me". I tried making her feel comfortable with me but she is unaware am in serious pain because of the sign of the red moon.

The more it appears the more pains it bestows my kind and the Lycans, mostly the lycans leaving a mark on their skin but the bad omen it brings its war, there is going to be a blood bath soon and we must prepare for war anytime soon.

" Are you okay?", she asked me while dancing.

"Of cause am okay", I replied with a smile.

I grew hungry instantly, I can't feed on her so I just tried controlling myself till the dance was over.

" Thanks for everything, I truly love it here". she said

"You are worth it", I said.

We were both silent looking at each other for like a minute, I know after today she won't see me again because I have to go back to my world, it pains me that she is going to be hurt but I know she can get past it soon.

I held her waist bringing her closer to me, I bend slowly to reach her lips and then I kissed her, I was so comfortable kissing her and when I stopped we both opened our eyes.

" Hum, I think I need to go home now, see you tomorrow right".

"Sure tomorrow", I lied to her.

I made sure she got home safe and I return to the castle in other for me to take my leave back to my world through the mystery door.

" Goodbye Amelia, it was worth my time been with you but you don't deserve a demon like me that feeds on blood", I said facing backward before leaving.

When I came back to my world, I can hear the scream of pain from a distance, then I saw the Red moon again, now it brought me so much pains, my eyes turned and I screamed cause the pain was too much to bear.

I found myself in my coffin at my special chamber the next day, I remembered it was Father that came when I groaned in pain.

"What are you up to this period son?" Father asked, I thought he wasn't in the room with me.

"Nothing father, I just took a stroll, besides it was becoming bored to me" I lied.

" Well no problem, but we all need to be careful this period, you know the Red moon makes the Lycan stronger though we are still strong I believe you know what I mean?"

"I understand very well father".

" That's why you need to be careful, they might use this period to strike and when the moon appears in full again, it's going to be a blood bath, be extra careful okay, you will know what you are very soon".

"Thank you father, I would be fine, I can never be scared of those cursed beings".I said to him.

" Why do I feel that my father is hiding something from me anyway, I notice the mark I had on my body, a vampire is not supposed to be marked rather the lycans are the ones that are supposed to be marked", I question my thoughts and hope to find out the answers to everything have been searching for.

Lorenzo

I left my father's chamber heading to meet Santiago and the others to have fun.

While we party, something strange happened, everyone screamed running down to the woods, I felt a little pain but I decided to check what exactly is causing these pains then I overheard some of the lycans saying, " The Red Moon is out, I hate the red moon, though we will be strong this period, the pains it gives us it's from within and that hurt the most".

I ran to the woods seeing the red moon above, it's not in the full state meaning we should await to endure more pains and also prepare for a war that involves all kinds including the witches but a big doubt of the humans involving too.

I also doubt if the witch will have the gut to come out from hiding, lastly, I hate blood bath, there would be lots of victims but I can't wait to kill Dimitro, it pains me that when I got his love, I wanted to burn her body myself but I don't know what happened to me when I passed out all of a sudden.

But am glad he heard the news that she died and I have ruined his love life now it's time to ruin his kind, I hope I survive the bloodbath coming soon.

Then the markings appeared on my body, I screamed in pain at the woods, "Ahh", I can feel my bones breaking like the first transformation I ever had.

The pain became so unbearable same with everyone around the woods.

Rebecca

At our secret coven where we the witches hid from the lycans and some of the bad vampires for ages.

Some of the young witches were busy learning their magic been guided by some of our elders that survived.

My close friend that has been like my sister called Nora has a deep secret that I have been hiding from the rest witches.

I did some personal identity spell for others not to identify who she is if not they will execute her, she is also a lycan but a weak one making her witch trait more active in her blood and so powerful.

She has all the senses of a Lycan but has never transformed, Lorenzo is her mate but she refuses to be his Luna even when she had the chance to meet him instead she wiped his memory to forget everything he saw and also bind his state.

She thinks she would be a weak Luna and still have hatred for her kind.

I got notified that the Red Moon is out, I had to take her to a cave, there she screamed in pains as the mark was drawn on her body, I feel for her as she continues to groan in pains.

I had to leave and joined the others at the coven to invoke more powers from the moon but we just endure a little pain.

When this was over, I took some blood and gave it to Nora to get herself back.

Amelia

I couldn't forget about the first kiss I had with Dimitro, he's my everything, I just ruined it by leaving him so soon.

I got ready for school very early just to see my prince charming.

Leaving the house and passing through the castle, I notice he wasn't there, as usual, to bid me goodbye to school, " This is strange".

I had to check if he was hiding to surprise me, the gate was still unlocked but the main entrance inside the house was locked but I got no response.

I just assumed he went out very early to attend to somethings, am sure I will see him when I get back from school.

At school, Gael tried talking to me but I won't lie, I don't wish to talk to him because I kept thinking of my prince charming Dimitro," Sorry Gael, I need to meet up with the girls now, we talk some other time".

I told Chloe and Sofia about my first kiss, they felt happy for me but I told them I couldn't find him this morning.

"Come on Amelia, maybe he went to visit his relatives", Said Chloe.

" Yes Chloe is right, but tell him you have pretty friends that we would love to visit him and his handsome relatives", Sofia added.

They brighten my mood a bit, "You both aren't serious".

On my way home, I checked the castle, still no sign of him.

"What exactly is happening, I miss him so much and I have lots of things to tell him".
