NIGHTBLADE

Chapter 24

Damian rushed to the house of his other relatives and just in time for them to serve dinner.

"Where have you been?" Victor asked,

"Oh. I kinda got distracted along the way but at least I made it," Damian replied,

"Alright. C'mon! You're gonna miss out on the fun!"

Meanwhile, Josh was at a hotel he was staying in. He placed the pink present on the table and sat on a couch, still feeling disappointed. He then opened his computer and started looking through some photos of the girl he likes so much.

He let out a huge sigh, "When will you see that I'm doing this for you?" he muttered to himself,

"You can do it now if you want to," a voice replied,

Josh jumped to his feet and looked around to find where the voice came from but no one else is around aside from him. He then turned and saw a cloaked figure looking at him in the balcony.

"Who are you?" Josh asked, he even carried a knife from his pocket and pointed it at the cloaked figure.

But there was no reaction. The cloaked figure just proceeded to walk through the glass door like a ghost and slowly approached Josh, "I can give you something that even she couldn't resist falling right into your arms," he told Josh

Josh narrowed his eyes, "What?"

"I know the feeling of longing to see the one you love and could not stand living in this world without her. Am I right?" The cloaked figure continued,

Josh thought about it for a moment as he slowly dropped the knife on the ground.

"Give me your hand," The cloaked figure ordered,

Josh didn't seem to hesitate and did as he was told. The cloaked figure handed him a white feather.

"With this, she'll be yours for all eternity," he said,

"..For all...eternity." Josh repeated,

Then, the white feather turned pitch black, and dark smoke covered his body forming into a black cocktail outfit but his skin turned pale and his eyes turned bloody red.

"You shall be named, Count Joshua The Blood Bane," The cloaked figure told him, "Now go! Take what is rightfully yours!"

"What is rightfully mine," Count Joshua mimicked, as he cackled and flew into the night sky.

Back at the party, Victor and Damian were sitting on a couch while some of his relatives and other guests were singing karaoke.
