LUCY
Mom doesn't ask questions she already knows the
answer to, guess I was lucky this time. "Richard is a close
friend and I got that scar from dwindling in some
dangerous magic." I replied her. "A really close friend, you
say, Alright, invite him over for lunch tomorrow. I want to
meet this friend of yours" she said before leaving my
room. Damn!!!!!! This is gonna be really bad, if she wants
Richard here, it means that she doesn't believe my story.
I and Richard now are not what we use to be, he doesn't
call anymore, just text once in a while. He is clearly
moving away from me and the meeting with my mum
tomorrow will end it all, perfect reason for him to call it
quit if he is already on that path. I actually fell in love with
him but I had an obligation to my family and Love wasn't
gonna becloud my sense of reasoning to help destroy my
family because of him, nah that love isn't born yet. I
picked up my phone and sent him a text inviting him for
lunch since Tomorrow is a Saturday.
Since my ordeal yesterday, I have been weak and sour.
It's like my whole energy has been depleted and even
worse, I feel detached and alone emotionally. The
connection I had with Richard was no longer there. I felt
empty inside and my wolf felt the way too. Whatever
Richard did yesterday must have tempered with our bond.
I wonder what he is up to now? Like always, all things will
be revealed in due time.
Angel on her own part has been acting out of sorts these
days. When she came by this morning before going to
school, I saw this sparkle in her eyes. It was small but I
know true happiness when I see one. Her eyes were
usually cold and hollow and because of that she has
become one of the most efficient killer among us, but
this morning tells a different story. Something was up and
I wonder the person who could cause such dramatic
turnaround in her person. I know it's must be a guy, Angel
is crazy, naughty and all but she is a principled fellow and
was well brought up before she was changed. She
doesn't do women and I couldn't wait to know the guy
who touched her heart.

RICHARD
After dropping the kids, I called Jason and told him to
keep an eye on his members before bidding his goodbye. I
have come to love the kid, he is strong willed and smart,
I think he will make a good beta. I started the bus and
returned it back to my friend. I returned home using
public transport. Today has been one successful day and
i couldn't wait for the fifteenth day to come to finally rank
my wolves. I was still basking in my happy thoughts when
a message came in. I read it and my mood changed for
good reason. Lucy's mom wants me for Lunch . Hell !!!!
This isn't good, it's not good at all. I just hope it's not
about what happened the other day, the breaking bond
stuff. Well, I have tomorrow to find out.
*****************************
I woke up the next day feeling grumpy and nauseous. I
will be seeing Lucy's beautiful mom today and I wasn't
happy as I would have some weeks back. I did my chores
and trimmed the grasses around the cabin. I showered
and then prepare mashed potatoes and then washed it
down with a can of dew. I was marking some scripts
when I got a call from Angel asking about my wellbeing
and all. We talked for a while before she hung up not
before blowing some sweet kisses through the phone,
funny girl. It is 13:00 already. I changed to a tight pant,
wore a fitting top and put on a Jacket. I should be on suit
but I had this feeling that things won't go well for me
today.
I followed the direction she gave me and found my way
through east of Aidenville. The house is huge and built in
Greek architecture. Painted white and Majestic in
appearance. From the moment I got into the estate, there
were guards everywhere. I loved the organization I saw
within this vile creatures. The guards at the gate, the
tourists but who were actually those who patrolled the
estate and of course the maids who worked inside the
house. I saw a huge swimming pool at my right and a big
building too at my left, I didn't know what it was used for
though. In front of me was the house and I was escorted
In by a beautiful maid. The whole place irritated my wolf
and when I entered the house and then finally invited to
the dining where a portrait of George was fixed on the
wall, my wolf nearly came out but I managed to tame it. I
saw Lucy and her mom sitting alone on the dining table
which itself was huge. I greeted Lucy's mom by bowing
and then kissing her outstretched hand as customary. I
walked up to Lucy and kissed her fully on her lips. I didn't
look at her reaction, just brought out the chair and sat
besides her.
"So you are Richard? " Mrs Keller asked." Yes, I am
ma'am "I replied. " Tell me, how did you meet my
daughter ? "she asked. I looked at Lucy who nodded
before telling her everything skipping the werewolf thing
of course." Are you two dating?", Jeez!, what a question.
I kissed your daughter fully on her lips when I came in,
and still you are asking if we are dating. Anyway, I
answered in the affirmative and even added we were
planning on getting married soon, the scowl on her face
after told me I shouldn't have said so.
"Look Richard, I hate to break it to this way because you
are such a sweet boy but I have to in order to kill any
dream you have in settling down with my daughter. Lucy
is actually engaged and will soon be tying the knot with
her long time boyfriend. I don't know the game she is
playing but she obviously knows this and still decides to
go on with you. I am sorry for whatever plans you might
have kept in place, I really am. "she concluded.
To say I was embarrassed will be an understatement. I
knew this already but to be told in such a humiliating
manner was hard to take in. I looked at Lucy who has
been quiet all through started sobbing and saying that she
was sorry, sorry for what. I just looked away before I
ripped that her pretentious face off. "It's okay ma'am , I
am grateful for your honesty, the same which cannot be
said of the one I love. I really enjoyed the meal and
should probably be on my way." I said . "It's been my
pleasure Richard?" she said. "Richard, wait, let me
explain, Richard!!" Lucy screamed after me but I didn't
look back. I was so embarrassed and I got the disgusting
look from the guys at the gate, Racist c.unts, now it
suddenly occurred to me, I have never seen a black
vampire, all have been white. That explains the weird
looks I got when I entered the estate earlier. I just wanted
to leave the vicinity and forget today in a hurry. My cell
beeped , Lucy was calling," Listen Lucy, I don't want to
utter cruel words to you so if you know what's best for
you, stay away from me. Don't ever come to my place
ever again and stay off my Lane in school. It was a
pleasure meeting you. "I hung up, cutting off her
disgusting sobbing voice. Tears fell down my cheeks
myself, it was official then, Lucy played me really well
and yes, I am a fool. Thank God for Angel else, I would
have foolishly destroyed the remnant of my kind and my
parents will be weeping in their grave saddened at the
level of my stupidity. Either way, the door on Lucy is
permanently closed and a new door has been opened
with Angel.

MRS KELLER
Waoh!!! He is cute and dark skinned, dark - skinned?
Was Lucy drunk when she decided to date him and even
thought of Marrying him. He was lucky George wasn't
available, he would have torn him to pieces the moment
he saw him. But when he kissed me, I felt this weird
tingle all over my me. I should be ashamed of myself for
getting wet by just looking at him, but I couldn't help it
and I couldn't bear to see such a sweet boy get fooled by
Lucy. The hurt on his face was touching but the truth had
to be said. The way he raised his eye brows was the
same way John Mikaelson raises his. Could this be his
son? , nah, the child I saved centuries ago must be dead
by now, he didn't inherit the curse of his parents, else,
George would have had him killed long before now. Still, I
had this stubborn feeling that he is that same child, but I
doubted it.
