JAKE'S APPEAL 

WPOV~

Zoriel returned back home and went straight to his room. Surprisingly, he met an uninvited visitor which happened to be his wife. 

She seemed to be searching through his things, probably in searching for something which he seemed to have no idea about. 

'Is she possibly be looking for my details?' He thought to himself as he watched her in his invisible form for a while until when it seemed like she was about to leave.

Only then did he make himself visible to her and noticed as she went into shock the moment she turned around and found him there. 

"What are you doing here?" Zoriel asked with an unreadable expression on his face while Amira only stared at him with widened eyes and a racing heart. 

She instantly went tongue tied, not knowing what to say, plus zoriel's intense stares did worse in shutting her up completely.

"I... " she started, though not knowing what to say.

"Uh...." She trailed.

"What are you looking for?" Zoriel decided to help her by modifying his question.

"Nothing" she said.

"That is not true, you were going through my documents"

Amira remained quiet because no answer was coming into her mind other than the truth and she didn't want to say the truth, if only she knew that Zoriel already knew what she was searching for, he was no human but a demon whom nothing could be hidden from.

He may only choose to act ignorant but definitely, nothing could be hidden from him.

"Do you perhaps plan on returning back to our room?" He took the opportunity to digress.

"No, I don't "

"Why? You haven't told me why you left"

"I wanted some space" Amira averted her gaze to the side, avoiding her husband's intense stares.

"Haven't you gotten enough time, my angel?" Zoriel moved two steps closer to her and surprisingly Amira did not move back.

This little action of hers gave Zoriel hope that she was finally coming around him. A little smile emerged on his lips and his eyes twinkled in excitement while he bubbled with admiration for the woman who stood in front of him.

Amira returned her gaze back to meet his burning orbs, unknowingly getting drowned in them as different questions rang in her head.

'What are you? Why do you have those eyes? Do you perhaps have anything to do with the monster from five years ago? If not then why do you both share same eyes that freak me out? Who exactly are you, Mr Zoriel?...'

"I was about leaving before you came in" Amira quickly excused herself before Zoriel would say anymore word.

THE COUNCIL OF VAMPIRES 

A dark gloomy hall, very spacious with numerous empty chairs arranged, the greater half for the congregation while in front of the hall, there was an elevated platform on which the heads of the council were seated. 

About twelve of them sat quietly in wait for their visitor who seemed to have arrived already.

The twelve were a mixture of male and female. About seven males and five females, their red eyes shining brightly according to their genes, some had a brighter shade of red while others had darker shades.

"To what do we owe this unexpected visit?" A woman who sat in the middle spoke up the moment Jake came to a stop in front of them all.

"Your honour, if I may" Jake took a seat from among the numerous seats. 

"What do you want?" 

"I am here to appeal to the council "

"Concerning what?" A man spoke in a rather tired voice.

"There is a strange man who seems to threaten the clan"

"Go straight to the point, young man. We do not have all the time"

"I want revenge" Jake stated plainly to the utmost dismay of the council. They all stared at him in bewilderment and amusement.

"I told you it was going to be meaningless" one whispered to the other 

"Jake Wesley. You cannot present your personal matter to the council. If you want revenge why not take it into your own hands"

"I need your help"

"The council is always busy to attend to trivial matters. We cannot be if help, mister Jake. This matter does not affect the clan in any way"

"My counterpart seems to be a different creature " he stated and succeeded in getting their attention. The council never liked anything that had to do with other creatures.

"What do you mean?"

"One mister Zoriel "

"What!?" The lady in the middle gasped in shock, she just heard the name which she so much hated.

"Did you say Zoriel?" 

"Do you know him?"

"The most powerful demon in existence.... I hate him!"

"Oh, he's the so called demon lord? Then I guess we're on the same page"

The lady gave a silent snort and rolled her eyes. If there was anyone she hated on earth and beyond, it was Zoriel and his clan.

"Wait, I can't conclude yet. What are you planning a revenge for?

"He took my wife"

"What?... Are you for real? Just because of that?"

"She is mine. I want her"

"Obsession is not a crime but when it gets out of hand, it becomes a nuisance "

"Call it obsession or whatever, I want her back! I can't loose her to someone else, especially a demon!"

"Is she a vampire?"

"No, something else... "

"I will not risk my life and the life of others because of your personal issue. Go home mr Wesley " the lady dismissed him.

James, feeling a bit annoyed, stood up to his feet. His eyes glaring hard into the woman's eyes.

"Very soon, this will become the matter of the council" he said with a dangerous voice which had a touch of warning laced behind it, almost like warning the council to beware of what is to come next. 

Casting a final glance at the heads of the council, he turned around and walked away. 

"Why do I feel like something is about to happen?" A lady said out to the hearing of others.

"That child, he better not do anything. Zoriel is not someone to mess with"

"If not for him, we would have conquered the Demons completely. The last war that broke out claimed a lot of lives. But we just need to target him because he is their leader"

"Of course, who do you think holds the pack? If we can get to him and defeat him, then we wouldn't have any more issues!"

"Don't you think we should tap into this fight? Let's use this Jake's issue

to finish them once and for all "

"No, it is too risky. Let us wait for a bigger problem. Jake's issue is too little "

__Next__

"I noticed that you are quite ignorant of the reality but the whole truth is that..." Desmonda took in a deep breath, further holding up the suspense meanwhile Amira couldn't wait anymore second to know the truth once and for all.

"They aren't humans like you.

They all are fearful creatures, including Zoriel-"

"-They are Demons " 

"What??" Amira gasped

in shock...
