The vampire last contract PROLOGUE-
3 years ago
- My legs trembled as I made my way closer to the edge of the cliff.
My breathing becomes rough as my hands shivered from anxiety in every step I made closer to the end of the cliff. My mind became blurred and ends up blank. As I look down on the rocky end of cliff my heart hammered inside of my chest and reality hits me. This is going to be my end! A death fall. A quick way to die, if my head slammed on that big huge sharp rocks, would it be painful? The cold breeze of night blew against my skin that brought shiver on my spines. Apparently the wind and night sympathize with this ending. Are you just up to here Reign? I know you're more than this. "Come on! Are we going to make more dramatic scene here! I can't wait too long! Jump off the cliff or I'll shoot your air head!" A terrifying voice, screamed in frustration. Impatiently witnessing my death. I didn't move even a bit. But I was cut off in thinking when something touched the back of my head that made me froze for a moment. Its ..... its ... a g-gun .. Its cold, I can feel the coldness of metal that sent so much fear in my soul. Its like it was made to kill, to kill me. To harm me. To plant its cold metallic bullet inside my head. I forced my self to be firm even though I can feel my knees weaken in such. I moved my left foot letting it dangle in the air. And I can feel myself stop breathing. "Uhuh that's right, now move your right foot and surely you'll be tumbling down the cliff." I heard her devilish laugh that creep the hell out of me. Now what reign? I thought you want it too, just be thankful that a person like her is here to help you. It is what you want right? to die so you could escape struggling in this hellhole place, to die just to escape from this nightmare and live with your dreams. Then why having this hesitation and confusion?
"I said move !!!" with that scream, everything flashes in my mind, how she have been the antagonist of my life, how she ruined everything I have and how she take away everything from me. She enjoyed things that were supposed to be mine and made me suffer inside my own property. In this very moment, at some point, I suddenly feels wanting to live. I still want to fvcking live! But when I was going to step back and fight, she pushed me off the cliff. A loud scream escape my lips as I feel the wind against my skin. I quickly plunged down, but did not care what I would fall, I just stared at his face while peeking at me and making sure I would die as soon as my body hit the huge rock that was covered by the crashing waves. Her lips formed into a victory smile, satisfaction drawn on her face. That he seemed to have succeeded in removing the thorn in his throat, as if he had breathed a sigh of relief that he had finally finished what should have been lost in his life. Tears escaped my eyes as I struggled not to fall, but who am I fooling. There is no way for me not to continue falling. And upon realizing it I slowly shut my eyes as her image remained in my mind. Pray that I die after tonight, because when I live, I will come back to you and I will make you suffer even more all that I have experienced! I'll be back! Come back! I'll be back ... Crisanta Muffin. And right after I said that, I felt my back and head hit by a hard and sharp object. I started to feel a searing pain at my back, its like my body broke in such an impact, the water covered me as I drawn deeper and my body becomes paralized that I can't even move a bit. I can hear a painful sound, as if there is a broken machine that with too much force will almost break what is in my ear.
My head aches for so much pain, as I tightly shut my eyes. I felt like the whole world is like a stearing wheel, as if its cycle is accelerating that I can hardly keep up with. The pain is unbearable that I could slowly losing my senses.
I badly want to struggle and swim but I know my body has already given up. I have completely fallen ... Reign has finally fallen. - I woke up from a nightmare. Another nightmare again? No, because its the same nightmare I have since the day I woke up 3 years ago. My head aches as I move and made my way downstairs. I went straight to the kitchen and drank some water. What time is it? 3:45 Am. I immediately clenched my fist and quickly went back to the room and lay down its became my routine, sleep, dream, wake up at about three o'clock in the kitchen and drink water look at the clock and come back to the room not to sleep again. I just stared at the ceiling as I listened to my heartbeat along with the sound of the clock as if it were saying that my time was running out. Different memories flashed on my mind, like a powerpoint presentation presented in a white cloth. I shut my eyes and raised from bed as I walk towards my window. I tore open the thick black curtain and the dark outside opened up to me. I just looked around as the moonlight hit me. As the cold wind blew against my skin all I can do is to close my eyes and let myself be drawn in the feeling of peace that I've always wanted. But then again, in this kind of world? I don't think I could still have it. This, this is the best part for me.
Where there is no noise I can hear that everyone seems to be tired too, everyone also wants to rest to wait for tomorrow to start again the noise will also disappear immediately. Everything in this world has it end, even happiness could last. You know what's the thing that will never last in this pathetic world? It's greed and cruelty of its own people. A desire to be powerful among all beings. Some people are blindfolded by lies, a beautiful lies that the world has made up. Without knowing the truth and harsh reality, that this world is selfish, full of deception, greed, and manipulation. Who would be happy to live in this kind of world? well ofcourse those people who are living their made-up kingdom and identity. Those who have a kind of fiesty determination to have a change in their life. For fame, wealth and power. Believing that money is everything. Look how foolish people are, and how cruel the world is. Some people are aching for justice, for equality, for fairness. while some are pretending deaf and blind to see reality behind their walls. But crime is a crime, we can't have the equality we want as long as there's selfish people who only want is for their own sake and that push me to have my own definition of justice. Cause the justice they know couldn't pay a crime. I will do my own definition of justice, to make someone pay the debt she owed me. I open my eyes only for me to see the sun rising again, my lips formed a slight curved as I close the curtain and turned my back heading inside my walk in closet. I choose my very unwanted, unattractive clothes as I do my morning routines. After bathing and getting dressed, I immediately went down and left the house, and when I was about to ride my ducati someone appeared infront of me. 'How long did you want to run away from me, Reign Mcdemort?'

His lips are tightly pressed with each other as his eye brows creased and his dangerous eyes stares at me.

His devilish aura made its way in my system that made me groan. A slightly curved lips of mine greeted him.

"Sage Vandrex Frost, how have you been?"

REIGN

The sound of rushing water filling the entire shower room could be heard, aside from it being my own heartbeat and my plain breathing.

The water flows down on my body, cold yet refreshing, it seems to revive the blood flowing in my veins.

It cooled down my spines while my mind remained unstable and covered by clouds and shadows.

No matter how hard I tried to heal my self, the scars remains visible and reminding.

The coldness made me feel how hard I tried, but it was never enough for me to heal.

After a few minutes I also turned off the shower and took the towel that was hanging then took the clothes and got dressed.

Until I get to school I won't lose sight of things.

I also stood in front of the school I was attending for a few minutes.

But I just let myself drown in the various noises that seem to be living around.

I can hear everything.

The conversation of friends. The laughter of the troops, the fight of the couple, the sounds of loving shoes, even the slight noises made by their accessories I could hear. The wind was still blowing and the leaves of the trees were rustling around.

And I know even I harm myself here, things will never go back the way it used to be.

I flinch when someone touches my shoulder.

I immediately avoided his grip and I knew he felt that.

"Reign its me."

"Well, hello Katelyn." Katelyn Ashley, she's my classmate. And he"s also just the craziest person I"ve ever met in my entire life. She keeps on talking to me like we're friends, she keeps on pestering my life. He also disturbs my silence and I hate it.

"You're spacing out, are you nervous about reporting?"

I shook my head as I started to walk. I am not comfortable having a conversation with her or with anyone.

I don't like someone touching me, I hate skin to skin contact so I always tried my very best to avoid it.

I first went to the library to read and borrow a book.

But I was barely stopped to hear the conversation in the distance.

"I don't think so, but do you think her boyfriend could do that to her? My god! She was killed brutally! Her eyes were wide open and she seemed to be staring at the person who killed her, there were some unexplained wounds on his neck which is also one of the reasons why he lost so much blood. "

"But if not her boyfriend who?"

"Who knows, even those close to him have no idea. He just left one morning and never came back."

"Maybe her boyfriend is now the prime suspect, but everyone doubts it. Her boyfriend is very smart and almost ran out of tears when he saw the woman."

Looks like the city is on chaos.

I stopped listening and went straight to the library.

The silent and light ambience greeted me.

I immediately went to the corner of the library to be seated when I stopped in front of the desk I was supposed to be seated and a man came up to me.

A mischievous smile appeared on his lips as he stared at me.

"Didn't expect me here, Mcdemort?"

I ignored what he said and turned around but I was also slightly taken aback when he quickly came in front of me.

"Trying to escape from me again?" He gave me a mocking look.

"Stop me, Frost." I commanded him emphatically but he just laughed foolishly and suddenly looked at me wickedly.

I was alarmed because the librarian might notice us but I was more nervous as he slowly stepped closer to me.

"Did you forget what you owe me? Reign Mcdemort."

"Its not what I wanted." I tried to stay calm, but the next word from him didn't let me.

"Really? Should I take it back?" I stop myself from breathing.

I grew cold when I felt the wall behind me.

"Dead end."

He pinned me on the wall as I felt his breath against my skin.

I froze when he touches my neck and his finger trailed down on my shoulder as he intently stares at me.

The scary expression on his face didn't help.

"You owe me big time, mcdemort, Big time that I want you to accept it. But you keep on running away. Did you know how hard it is?"

I didn't answer him.

"Too hard reign! And sooner or later, you will feel it. It will make you suffer like a poison in your blood so if I where you, go back to me."

"N-No. I won't." I immediately pushed him and ran out without looking back at him.

'You can never run away forever, reign. You'll come back to me, You'll need my help as much as I need you to accept it, accept the life contract. '

I don"t know how that all entered my mind, he"s talking to me using my mind and what he just said made me stop and screamed in frustration.

Bullshit! how can I accept all this ha Sage! how !? This is not what I wanted! I wanted to live but not to be like this!

'What do you think, reign?'

Goddamit! Do I really have to answer that fcking question Frost ?!

'What do you think we are?'

His voice becomes more venomous.

'I am waiting, say it.'

Vampires. I almost whispered in my mind.

'again! say it! '

Vampires! Fcking vampires!

'Good. You know where to go and to find me, reign. I am waiting, always waiting. '

And after that I seemed to have lost something, it was as if I was breathing and exposed to a kind of plastic that wrapped me earlier.

I immediately weakened and focused on the wall, trying to calm myself.

Yes, it is true. I am a Vampire, and this is my second life. Yes, I wanted to die so that I could escape bur in a minute before I died, I wished I could live longer. But I didn't expect that in my second life, things aren't the same anymore, even me.

I am Reign Riley Mcdemort, and this is the new me, not the same person 3 years ago.

I died, and now I am alive like a new born baby. And that is all because of the life contract.

REIGN

I was just an idiot the whole class, it's a good thing I did my report well and I reported it as I wanted.

Katelyn, tried to approach me but I tried my best to ignore her like I always do.

After class I prefer to pre -order everything before I go out, I put my hood on as I put my books and other things inside my bag pack.

After leaving, I let myself walk slowly and crossed the other way until I reached the other building, in another department, because I also didn't want to go through the next department of the department where I was.

I don't want to see him again. I am trying my best to avoid that man.

"Oh girls you don't know how hard I've tried to seduce him! He's so hard to get arrrgh!"

"You know him and what kind of man he is, I don't know why you're so mad at that man, he's scary! It's like he was conceived on ice and resentment."

"Err! Isn't that the exciting part huh ?! everyone is scared at him while me, always trying to get his attention and later on he'll fall for me hard!"

"And for that you'll give your body to him? I don't think he's interested Cris?"

"We are taking about Sage frost! Everyone knows about how bad that man is! He is the king of trouble. you! "

Right. if you're lucky.

I immediately stopped walking and kept staring at the people I could meet. I have my hands on my pocket, the hood that used to cover the whole of my face has fallen on the back of my head due to the wind. They were not aware that I was here but they stopped when they noticed that something was blocking their way.

The girl in the middle tried to shout at me, but seems like she swallowed her own tongue right after she found out who I am.

Her eyes widen in fear and shock.

Her expression is asking.

Like 'how?'

"Cris? Are you okay?" Asked by her friend.

The other one raised an eyebrow at me and looked like it was going to blow fire, I just count inside my mind and I know it will release the fire inside her mouth.

"What are you doing b*tch? Don't you know us? Go away and we'll pass or do you want me to drag you out of our way? You choose." see? Hmm looks like she got a little devil friends beside her, its amusing.

"Should I put your names here then?" I said with my usual serious and blank expression, but the sarcasm of my tone would not go away. It looks like one of her friends will blow up again when she already speaks up.

"R-Reign .." My attention immediately shifted to him.

His face was still full of astonishment and he could not believe that I was here in front of him now. Well why not? After She killed me, and after I woke up, our paths never met even though we were in the same school, I've expected it, our paths will cross and cross at school, that's also the reason why here I chose to enter, I've only been here for 2 years while he was 3 years old, he moved here after he killed me, psh! Of course she will do that she has the money, my money.

"Crisanta Lois Muffin, long time no see. Miss me?" His eyes became even more worried and he couldn't speak anymore.

Right! Are you afraid of me now? well you should be, crisan. You.should.be.

Especially when your cousin just died. Who is the prime suspect again? Her boyfriend? stupid.

"Babe," I felt my body froze. What the hell? still really? A to knows very well when I have nothing to lose to him.

I tried to look at him and a silly smile appeared on his lips but the passing of annoyance in his eyes did not escape me.
