*** JEFFERSON POV ***

I watched as my younger version followed the figure into an unknown house.
The very best part of my memories.
"You are my successor, little one. you must uphold my legacy well." The figure smiled at my younger version.
"Yes, I would." My younger version replied nodding firmly.
"We'll start the ceremony now." The figure said.
immediately, my heart started beating fast.
This part of my memory was considered one of the most precious to me.
Suddenly the headache that had tormented me came back against me. This time it even hit more strongly my head started spinning and as expected I started losing consciousness.
I closed my eyes, giving in to the pain.
I didn't know why my tour into memory lane was suddenly disrupted.
I wondered if the Gods had enough already though I wasn't sure of that fact.
I kinda enjoyed the tour in my memory lane.
****
Not knowing how long I had closed my eyes I opened them only to discover that I couldn't see a thing.
I was back in the darkness.
Wasn't this tribulation enough? Where was I? Wasn't I going to go to hell.? I thought.
"It's time to wake up." A voice drifted into my ear.
Immediately the splitting headache came back again and I had to close my eyes and embrace the pain.
After some time I opened my eyes slowly but steadily.
Suddenly I frowned.
I was back in the room I had sex with Richard. I was in bed sleeping.
Immediately I sat up and looked around the room but there was no one inside.
"So I had been dreaming all along," I muttered to myself.
Thinking of this, I sighed in relief when I realized all that had been happening was just a dream.
But the dream felt so real.
Was I already undergoing my tribulation? I thought.
That shouldn't be.
"Where's Rita?" I muttered.
Immediately I looked beside me and noticed DeLorna wasn't there.
"What the hell was happening?
Don't tell me the dream was real.
Immediately, I jumped off the bed and wore my shirt.
I wasn't feeling weak or anything so the dream was real.
I knew it was nighttime time so I stepped out of the room wanting to go look for her.
immediately after I got outside I met the shock of my life.
On the ground was the person who I loved with my life on the ground lifeless her head had been chopped off.
I fell to my knees weakly looking at the body without a head.
Suddenly I heard a cry and immediately looked around as to where it was coming from.
It couldn't be DeLorna that was crying her body was right in front of me lying lifeless and headless.
I raised my head and looked in the direction where the sound was coming from.
In the distance was a small girl sitting beside Rita's head crying.
"What in hell was happening?" This was exactly what happened in my dream. How could it be repeating itself?
I hadn't noticed her because I was so engrossed in my sorrow.
I guessed she must be Rita's younger sister.
But she never told me she had any relative talk, more or less a younger sister.
I looked at the girl and shook my head in pity.
Standing up slowly and weakly, I walked toward the girl.
It was not until I was some meters away from the girl did she notice me.
Immediately she saw me staggering towards her she screamed in terror.
"Don't come near!"
She continued shouting.
"Am not going to hurt you," I replied weakly.
"No, get away from me you monster." She screamed.
"No, I am not going to hurt you," I replied.
"No, you are." She screamed at the top of her voice.
Immediately I became confused by what she was saying. She was a sibling to the girl I loved. There was no way I would hurt her.
I stood confused on a spot looking at the girl who was now shivering in fear at the sight of me.
Was I so scary? I asked myself.
Though I knew I had committed many sins. I was careful enough not to leave a witness. I would finish off all who saw me.
Though I didn't know why in the last thing I left some clues.
"Why are you afraid of me? Am I scary? Right." I said, giving a light smile to the girl.
But this even made the girl shiver more in fear.
I couldn't put my fingers on what was wrong.
I was sure the girl had never seen me. So why was she scared of me?
The way she was looking at me was as if she had seen a grim reaper. What the hell was happening?
Though I was standing on a spot. I felt I would soon collapse if I didn't do anything to cure my weakness or something.
"Why are you scared of me?" I asked the girl some moments later.
Immediately I asked the girl this question. She looked at me with hatred burning in her eyes.
I wondered what had happened to this little girl of more than ten years of age who should have this amount of hatred in her heart.
"You killed my sister and you are also coming to kill me." The girl replied after some minutes.
Immediately, my world started spinning. What did the girl mean?
I was sure I was sleeping all along before I was woken up by the girls sobbing.
Also, there was no way in hell I would kill the girl I loved. I couldn't do that. And I knew that.
"Arrghhh!'
I shouted.
What the hell were the Gods doing?
Killing the girl I loved.
At first, I thought all I had was a mere dream but I realized now it wasn't just a mere dream it was all real.
I looked around and sniffed the air.
"Werewolves!" I yelled.
I was sure they were the perpetrator of the whole thing.
I was sure they were the ones who killed the girl I loved.
They had killed her but why? Why didn't they kill me? I thought.
I looked towards the girl who was now looking at me and was wondering about the cause of my outburst.
"Those wolves must pay!" I yelled.
My veins bulge out of my head. My fangs were also sticking out and my claws were outside. I could care less if I was scaring the little girl in front of me. They had touched my reverse scale.
I looked in the direction of the pack and dashed towards the pack with all my speed.
My bloodlust which I had managed to suppress was released and all living creatures ran away.
Anytime my bloodlust was released, I would go on a killing spree and kill anyone that stood in my path.
Not long after I was approaching the pack. I knew the location of the pack but have never gone there cause I don't have any feud with the pack.
But now they had touched my reverse scale and would pay significantly for that.
Soon I got to the entrance of the pack and met the guards who were standing by the entrance.
"State your purpose of visit." One of the guards said.
Immediately I smirked. "Don't worry you'll know when you get to hell," Smirked.
My smirk sent shivers down their spine.
Before they could do anything I disappeared.
"Where's he?" One of the guards said in a panic.
"Am here," I replied, appearing right beside him.
Before he could react I ripped off his head.
"Arrghhh!"
The other guard screamed in terror.
Immediately my smile changed into a smirk and I disappeared again, appearing beside the guard.
Before he could say or do anything I disappeared and appeared beside him and ripped off his head.
I continued my journey into the pack.
Immediately I got into the pack and everywhere was empty.
Immediately, I smelt danger all around.
Suddenly I lunged to the side as I dodged an incoming blow from a sword.
"So you've finally decided to show up as a pimp." I heard a voice behind me.
"Who's a pimp?" I frowned.
"You of course." The voice replied.
Immediately I turned to the figure who had talked only to see the Alpha of the pack with a sword in hand ready to attack me.
"Why did you kill her?" I frowned.
"Well, I must say I killed her because I enjoyed it." The alpha replied.
"You'll pay for her death with your life," I growled.
I was slowly losing control of myself because of the anger that clouded me.
I wasn't able to think straight anymore.
"Have said it, you'll fall for the trap." The alpha smirked.
"What do you mean?" I frowned.
"Well, you'll know it when you get to hell." The alpha replied and attacked me with the sword.
"You know you're quite lucky I didn't bring my sword," I smirked.
"Well, I must say my luck is good." The alpha replied and immediately attacked me.
I smirked and readied myself for the attack.
Immediately he got to me he raised his sword and swung it powerfully towards my head.
Immediately I tilted my head to avoid the attack.
Immediately, he came at me again at full speed aiming for another part of my body.
But I dodged again.
"I see you are proficient at using swords. You are very lucky I didn't bring my sword," I smirked.
"Take this," the alpha suddenly brought out a sword and threw it to me.
Immediately I became confused. Why was he giving me a sword? We are fighting a life-and-death battle where I would kill him with any given chance and here he was giving me a sword.
I couldn't understand what was happening.
But I collected the swords and unhealthy them and attacked the alpha.
We began displaying a lot of skill with our swords and the fight suddenly became more of a training to me than a fight.
All my sword skills were taught to me by that man and I had never managed to beat him anytime we practised.
Our attacks became fierce and we started pushing ourselves front and back.
I was gaining the upper hand in the fight.
I had successfully given the alpha some injuries though they weren't major injuries though.
"Leave it out and accept your death, you can't bear me," I said to the alpha.
"We'll see about that." The alpha replied.
Suddenly I smirked and disappeared.
I appeared behind the Alpha hitting him with the butt of my sword.
Immediately he flew far away from the impact of the hit.
Before he could land I appeared behind him kicking him and sending him flying.
He crashed into some of the buildings.
"Stand up alpha," I said in a mocking voice.
Immediately he stood up and wiped away the blood at the corner of his lips.
I smiled looking at the situation he was in.
He wasn't weak but stronger.
Again he shouldn't have chosen to fight me with the sword.
That was the mistake he made.
Immediately, I appeared in front of the alpha and grabbed him by the neck, raising him.
"Now you die for Killing her," I muttered.
"Killing who?" The alpha laughed.
"Her," I replied, frowning.
"Who do you think killed her?" he smiled.
I don't fucking care who killed her k knew you were the one." I yelled and wanted to thrust the sword into his chest.
"No! Damien." A voice yelled.
Immediately I loosened my grip on the alpha and looked at the voice calling out to me.
Immediately I froze in shock. There was DeLorna standing in front of me, tears flowing down her face.
Immediately my expression changed.
It was a trap all along.
There was nothing I could do. I had already fallen into the trap.
Immediately I ran towards Tina who was still crying.
"Am sorry." She sobbed.
"Don't worry," I replied.
"No!" Tina suddenly shouted.
Before I could react a sword was lodged into my body.
Tears flowed down my eyes immediately after the sword penetrated my body.
I knew the sword was no ordinary sword.
It was a special one designed to kill vampires.
If not I would have broken the sword in two immediately after it was lodged in me.
"Go to hell." I heard the alpha's voice behind me. He had attacked me from behind. I didn't know why but I felt the alpha was weak somehow.
I turned and looked at the alpha behind me.
"You are a smart one and I applaud you for that," I said, spitting blood. My insides hurt badly.
"Well, you should have been more careful. If you had been more careful you would have. noticed it was a trap all along." The alpha smirked.
I looked at DeLorna and smiled.
By now it was already turning to ashes as my body faded away.
"Goodbye," I muttered.
"And you. He'll be back for you," I smiled as my whole body turned to ashes drifting away with the wind.
