The Luminary

TRUTH

"So where are we going?" I asked.

"Honestly, I don't know but let us just keep going" answered summers.

Winter, summer, Ashley, summers, Ethan, Reign, and I were going out and on our way, and I got lost.

Therefore, in conclusion, summer is clueless and we are dead. We kept on walking for what felt like eternity.

"Reign really loves reading"

'What genre does he love?"

"Take a guess"

"Come on dude, just tell me ughh," I groaned

"Vampires

"That is childish"

"You don't believe in vampires?"

"No! Never in a million years"

"What if you were a vampire?"

"I doubt that" definitely doubt that

"What will be your reaction if you are told you are vampire?"

"I'll not believe that person," I concluded.

"Whatever you say" he shrugged and I pursed my lips. Summers abruptly stopped while pulling me casually in the other direction. I was lost until I saw a man- not any man, the same man Nail and I saw the other time-following suite in the crowded streets. My hand felt free and loosened; I turned my both sides only to find summer was out of site.

I felt myself been jerked backwards.

"We meet again pretty face" he slapped me across the face and I glared at him. He threw me on his shoulder and I did not do anything, something in me told me not to cause a scene.

'Don't fight or do anything just stay put and comply' a voice whispered.

The man threw in a van then blindfolded and tied up like I was a piece of garbage.

"She is not moving, I guess she knew what was best for her," said another voice.

"You better be calm, it's better for YOU" he stressed 'you'. I kept mute. The van drove for about half an hour, then it came to a stop, making me to stagger front. Lurker man roughly pulled out of the van making me wince in pain.

"Stop wincing b***h" he slapped me across the face.

It has been more than four hours and I am hungry, I did not eat this morning and now I am in a dark room with no window and just a metal, wooden door, it looks like am in a dungeon.

"Hey, guys, I am hungry can I get my food now, I'm really starving, please"

'Wait a little more my child, you'll soon learn the truth' I heard someone whispered.

I stood up and walked around the room while running my fingers through my hair

"Ugh' I hit the wall so hard.

The door slowly open and a loud, husky, familiar, and annoying laugh of a man vibrated around the room, guess whom?

It was Lurker man.

"You food is here" this man is getting on my nerve so I did the first and only thing that came to my head...

'Your lunch'

I pounced on him sinking my teeth into his neck, catching him off guard; the thick blood passed my truth making me moan loudly.

"Esha, stop" summers' voice could be heard in the background.

"Esha stop, you'll kill him"

I felt a hand on my shoulder, "Ayesha stop... please" my grip on him slowly loosened, making me close my mouth. I could feel my teeth poking my lower lip.

"Now do you believe?" summers whispered and I knew what he meant.

I shook my head disapprovingly at him.

"No, no..."

"It's what you are, you are immortal"

"n-"

"Shut up, you don't have any choice, it's what you are, there is nothing else you can do" Reign sneered at me.

However, how is that possible? I thought a person could become vampire from either inheritance or a vampire bite.

I walked past them out of the warehouse that was surprisingly empty. I could hear their footstep behind me.

"Where are the girls?" I asked

"They are at the junction of the street waiting for you," answered Ethan, making Reign roll his eyes.

Now I know this lad definitely dislikes me.

We walked to the junction only to find two cars parked, waiting for us. The girls looked at the boys and looked at me.

"What?" I asked waiting anxiously,

"Why does she have blood on her lip?"

"She knows" summers said, he looked so serious and hot right now. I noticed how summer keeps looking at him with flirty eyes; she has a thing for him.

"Ethan, and Ayesha you are going with Reign; Ashley, summer winter and I are going together. You lads can explain clearly to her and reign... please don't talk, just let Ethan explain"

I entered reign's car with reign and Ethan in tow, it was silence for a while

"It will take time before you accept the fact, it can be cool sometimes, but sometimes you'd like to wonder what it feels like to be human again. I felt hungry, making everything Ethan was blabbering about fade, and my vision turns red.

"I'm hungry," I howled.

"Park, now, thank goodness there's a forest here"

The two lads guided me into the forest in search for food

"There should be an animal close by. When you hear the galloping or movement of a pray, you be quite for about two second before pouncing on it and make sure you calculate where he is going to end up when he hears your movement because it will definitely run. Got it?" Explained reign and I nodded.

I heard the footstep of an animal and sounded like an antelope. I set myself and waited for about five seconds because its footsteps got louder before running 30 cm ahead of the antelope and pouncing on it.

It let out a small cry when my teeth sank into its neck cutting its vein. I drank for about one minute when I was done, I stood up wiped my mouth with my sleeves and dusted my jeans.

"So that was why she was cranky, because she was hungry," Reign said

"Yeah and I wonder why your always cranky and you eat and drink till your full" I shot back at him, I saw Ethan smirk from my peripheral view.

"Let's go"

Thanks a lot HABEGE for the kidnap idea, it was really helpful.

Lot of love,
