Tearing Off My Skin [COMPLETED ✅]

| A War in Virginia |

10:25 pm

N's POV

The police officers pulled out their guns and started shooting, making everyone run for their lives and panicked. The majority of them are pointing at me, which I dodged. But not everyone is lucky, few civilians are injured or died from bullet wounds. So many tears, shrieks, heartbreaks, blood, lifeless bodies on the street. Most of the beings that are dead were teenagers and college students, who only wanted to help. This peaceful protest is now turning into what I feared the most, a riot.

Some beings continued to run and head back home to safety, others stayed and caused havoc. Some humans brought out firecrackers, smoke bombs, molotov cocktails, knives, and guns. They are fighting with the police. There are even humans that are breaking in and looting items from the nearest stores. Also, they are destroying every property they see including cars, stop signs, street lamps, fire hydrant, and anything in sight.

This is turning into a war zone; the humans are fighting for what's right and the police are getting aggressive. Surprisingly enough, none of the vampires are fighting back. We're all angry, sad, and disappointed that this riot is happening. Kalisha is the most hurt because she wanted this protest to be calm and non-violent. But she is glad that none of the vampires are causing any damages. The police started the trouble and the civilians retaliated.

Then, multiple bullets land on...

"JYMIA!" Kalisha cried out, leaving all vampires and humans speechless.

Jymia looks down at her body where the bullets pierced her and she could not believe it. She drops to the ground and every vampire gets closer to her.

"Jymia, please don't perish. We all need you to stay alive. This world will feel empty without my best fren." Kalisha tells her, crying and sniffling. Jymia coughs out blood and tried to speak.

"Love you, Chika. Eke dey palava. No, be small thing o. Thunder will fire on every Eke!" She curses at the police, still coughing out blood.

"Everything was going so well and we were not expecting the police to fire real guns on all of us. I'm so sorry that this had to happen to you. I wish this life was so much kinder to you. I wished that David never damaged your heart and that you had found the right guy to love you. You deserve so much better." Kalisha comforts her.

"I already lived my life and had a plethora of men that I loved or lust over. Plus you have your own man that is madly in love with you and truly cares for you. Continue living your life and being happy. All I want now is peace." She tells her.

"Before I forget, Shani, you are the best. Ebele keep being you. Mitch and Kelsy, keep being a lovely couple. N, never stop being you. It's rare to encounter guys like you that are so kind and caring to others. Don't be like Dadi or even the late Ahti. Continue to love and appreciate Kalisha. Don't do anything to break her heart. If you do, then I have to haunt you forever. Do you understand?" She asks me.

"Yes," I replied.

"Good boy," She said.

"One last thing, I forgive Dadi. Even though he doesn't deserve my forgiveness, I rather leave this world with no grudges. Make sure he doesn't mistreat anymore women. Women already have too much to stress over, we don't need a guy like him ruining our livelihoods. Whoever he falls in love with, he better treat her like a queen and not no sex doll." She said.

"I love you, Jymia. Thank you for being in my life." Kalisha tells her, continues to sob.

"I love you, Kalisha. I wish you all the best." She said, closing her eyes.
