Joana found a large blue book one day titled ‘the council of five.’ She didn’t know if it was the right one, but she hoped it would be as she felt her eyes were going to fall out any moment over the countless number of texts she had to read for the past few months before she was able to find this one. She opened it and began to read what it said, it mentioned the supreme council, describing their glory as gods and all they had done to bring the mortal and immortal realms into existence. She had read something similar to this in other books but what she really needed to find was how she could locate them. She kept on reading for a while until she finally thought she found what she was looking for. She read a chapter that talked about the journey to the heart of mother nature, the center of the earth, the five ancient stones surrounding the middle. the middle representing the heart, and the stones representing the council of five. She wondered if that was where she w

Suddenly, she spotted a dark figure flying towards where she was. She squinted her eyes further and saw that it was Derick! She couldn’t believe herself but she never thought that she would be so happy to see him. He landed between where she lay and the hungry pack of wolves. The wolves upon seeing him, began to charge at him with full force. Joana, who felt scared that they would kill him, tried to stand up to help him. Much to her surprise, he didn’t need her help. One by one, he began tearing them to pieces with his fangs and claws as they were coming, she watched him as he fought down the pack effortlessly, showing them no mercy as they kept charging. Joana watched him as he battled in front of her, not letting any of the wolves get to where she was, the blood of his opponents dripping down from his mouth, staining his hands and his chest. Not minding the situation, she imagined how delicious it would taste if she licked it off him. Ugh get a grip girl. He had

“But why?” Derick said. “I don’t know why you’re being so paranoid over a kiss. Why do you think I would ever want to come between your relationship with your boyfriend?”“Um, I don’t know, maybe it’s because we were once together!” She said, increasing her voice. “Look, I don’t know whatever Edmund told you but my relationship with Marylin had nothing to do with you, and you had no right to bring it up. If I wanted to come between you and your boyfriend, I wouldn’t have bothered to help you get back home at all. I even talked to Dana to help out because I wanted in my heart for you to go back home safely. Everyone in the coven was mad at you for wanting to leave again, but I was the only one who still stood by your decision because it was what you wanted and what would truly make you happy. “And don’t worry, if you really want us to stay away from each other from now on then fine, have it your way. I won’t be there to distract you anymore. Good luck in your que

Knock-knock-knock “Come in,” Dana said in response to the knock she heard on her room door. She saw Joana walk through the door and welcomed her in. “Oh, hey Joana, how are you today?”“I’m good,” Joana said. “What’s up? I haven’t been seeing so much of you lately.”“Oh well yes, I’ve just been in my room, nothing much. Is there something you want to talk to me about?” “Yes, I had an argument with Derick,” Joana said immediately. “About what?” Dana asked her surprisingly. “I’m a bit nervous to talk about what happened, we had a fight over something and I told him that we shouldn’t be around each other anymore. I feel bad for the things I said to him, and I feel weird going to meet him alone, but I came to you to see if you could maybe talk to him for me.”“I don’t know,” Dana said. “Derick isn’t the type to get angry over things easily, I need to know what really happened so I can know how to approach this better.”“I don’t kno

Joana continued the rest of her training with Dana and Edmund, while she continued studying during the day. For the past weeks, she had to get used to life in the castle without Derick, the one that had showed her the way to this new life of hers. At first, she found it hard, but in the later days, she found she was able to cope. Derick, much to her surprise had asked Edmund to help her with the rest of her training. So, most of her time in the castle was now spent with Edmund and Hillary, as they would go hunting together in the evening, and then begin training into the night. As for Derick, she wasn’t seeing much of him anymore, she didn’t like the fact that they couldn’t even greet each other when they saw, but it was what he asked for and she had to respect that. On the day she completed her final round of training, Edmund declared her a powerful vampire after she fought down a pack of wolves they practiced with in a forest nearby. She was now able to
