Luna - The Predator of Revenge

Vampire Diary

April 2, 1980

Today, I met the perfect guy to lead the clan after me. His name is Asher King. He is indeed going to be a king in the future. The way he held up his hands in a defensive stance, I could tell that he would be great fighter in the future. He told me that he was seventeen years old. When I had asked around for his parents, his face fell but he immediately masked it. I used my mind reading ability on him. His parents had died previously in a war. Explains why he put on the fighting stance against me. In my clan, if you didn’t have parents or actual elder supervision, you are an easy victim of torment. What he didn’t know was that, I was the king himself. He never bothered to bow to me, regarding me as an elder. I might have chosen him for his skills but he lacked manners. He will only learn it if he is put forth the trouble.

Reading his words made my blood boil. He was a cold-hearted creature by all means. Not wanting to know about the troubles he put Asher through, I skimmed past pages.

March 10, 1984

Today I decided that he has had enough disciplinary education, and that he would be fit to take up the position as the vampire prince. But I was wrong. When I went there, he didn’t even acknowledge me. He had grown taller than the last time I had seen him in person. He stood shoulder to shoulder, with me. Since he had no parents he was working up in the woods. Another thing about my clan, no one gets their food freely. If you are not earning anything, you go empty stomach for the day. I called for him. He gave me a cold shoulder. It wasn’t until I announced to him that he would be the next vampire prince, he laughed like a maniac. It took him a few minutes to calm down from his laughing fits. When he saw my straight face he understood that I was being serious. He was taken aback. He further accused me that I was spouting lies. I told him that I was the vampire king and I chose him to be my heir. He waited for me to laugh at his face and tell that it was a joke. But that moment never came. Understanding that I was telling the truth, he simply nodded at me. By then, he knew protests were of no use.

He actually pulled Asher into his sick world just because he didn’t have an heir of his own. I wish I had stabbed him after reading these. I would have stabbed him few more times, letting him know what pain feels like. I feel like I had given him an easy way out.

August 30, 1996

Today I sent my clan to attack the Harath pack. They brought me back the alpha, beta and the Luna. When I asked about their daughters, they said that the alpha had hid him well. I knew that he never took my message, though cryptic, seriously. That is one reason how I succeeded today. He might be a strong man, but I knew how to look for a weakness in a person.

October 3, 1996

Today was yet another day when I experimented on the trio, like the past month. I had taken their blood test yesterday and the results were shocking. The DNAs of the alpha and Luna were powerful. They were indeed strong people, the Luna just didn’t know it, and she will never know it. I ordered one of the scientists to clone a vampire with such a DNA structure. If the experiment is successful, vampire kind will become undefeatable. I tried different experiments on them to extract their wolf soul out of them. If the wolf was taken out, they would be a bunch of foolish humans fighting against us.

What the heck? He is proving me, again and again, that I gave him an easy death. I skimmed past few pages again.

January 26, 1999

Yesterday night, that Luna, Amelia, died. The doctors say that it was because I gave her my blood, but I won’t believe it. If that was the case the death of those mutts would be so easy. When I asked him, he told me that when a mismatching blood is inserted in a werewolf, the wolf blood in them prevents it from joining in their body. But if the wolf fails to neither suppress it nor accommodate it, then the wolf dies resulting in the person dying too. That was what had happened in her case. Her wolf tried to fight my blood but ended up dying.

I flinched at that. I continued skipping past pages.

June 20, 2002

Today had been the same like any other day. That was until when a mid-aged woman entered my territory. She wasn’t to be blamed, seeing she even hid her scent, it was just that we vampires had high senses. My men immediately captured her and put her in the cell. She kept shouting at my men but they paid no heed to her. As for me, I was busy experimenting on the alpha’s wolf. I was testing it with wolfsbane to examine the reaction. When the wolfsbane was injected the wolf faints and is put into coma. Awaking it wasn’t difficult though. It only needed you to be actively moving five hours or so for it to revert back. Seeing this, I asked my scientist to find what the wolfsbane consisted of. If the reaction of small dosage of it was as such, then what will the mutts do if they are given high dosage?

Am I the one in short of words or is he indescribable?

July 1, 2002

I had forgotten that I had a woman under my hostage until today. I was leaving for my experiment work, as usual, when I heard shouts from inside the prison. Sensing no one near, I went inside to check on the situation. That was when I saw her. She stood there, behind the bars, looking so beautiful. She had slight bump in her stomach. That reminded me of who she was. I immediately changed my awe struck expression to a glare. She was unmoved by it. That was when it struck me. She was a middle aged woman, so I will be able to experiment on her more successfully unlike those mutts. I ordered my men to take her to the lab, to prepare her for the experiment. That was when she told something interesting. She revealed that she was the daughter of the alpha and Luna we had imprisoned. That was when it hit the notch. If she was their daughter, she was bound to be strong. I took her immediately to the lab. I asked the scientist to test her DNA. As expected, her DNA was powerful, but there was something different about her. The scientists couldn’t exactly point out what it was, but she was definitely special, and she will be my key to success.

November 6, 2002

Today we experimented on her like usual. It was going all fine until she started hyperventilating. Scientists tried all ways on her but could stop her. They were worried that it might be because of the excess loss of blood in the past two days. When I asked my men to bring in the stored blood, they informed that they had run out of blood. Running out of options, I bit my wrist and poured my blood into her mouth. The scientists feared my decision but I couldn’t bother less. Surprisingly, she stopped fidgeting and started sucking at my wrist. Once satisfied she laid down back. We stopped the experiments for today, seeing she was weak. But indeed, she was something else.

Ew, hearing someone crushing on my mom, that too reading from their diary, made me uncomfortable.

November 7, 2002

Today, out of custom, I went to check on Hana. I was shocked to see her bed empty. I called out for my men to search for her but they couldn’t find her. Losing hope on my useless men, I went out on my own. I searched all around the territory but I couldn’t find her anywhere. When I was about to leave I smelled blood around there. I followed the scent and found traces of blood down the path. I followed it until it reached a pack. It was a long distance from my territory but to think that she had made it there was surprising. I left her there knowing she would definitely come back for her dad.

So, my assumption was right. He was the one responsible for my mom’s death. If it had not been for him doing experiments on her, she wouldn’t have suffered any of it. Better yet, he shouldn’t have kidnapped my grandparents. I flipped through a few pages still not finding the answer I needed more urgently.

February 15, 2003

I asked for my men to bring in Hana’s daughter. If all my experiments were to fail, then I might as well bring in cross-breeds to strengthen my side. Asher had turned twenty yesterday, so I thought I might as well finish with the primary works. After the baby daughter of Hana was brought to the clan, I cut their palms and connected them by blood. They would end up being mates, as the mutts called them. When I cut her palm I took a small amount of blood and gave it to my scientist to check if there was anything in it, which can be used to my advantage. After attending to the wound on her palm she was taken back to her pack. After so many years of research, the scientist, I had assigned work back then, came back with some news. He said that since the DNA was structured in such a way to support the werewolf body, it was difficult to structure the same way for a vampire. He also said that there was a possibility for a vampire to control a werewolf’s mind, if they had that vampire’s blood in their system. At the same moment, the other scientist informed me that Hana’s daughter had vampire blood in her. Instantly I knew it was my blood. I asked the scientist how long it would take for me to gain control over her. He replied that I will be able to do so after she turns seventeen and meets her mate. If she was to be my way to success, I might as well wait for seventeen more years.

Oh shit. That was how he gained control over me. When he had given his blood to mom, I had drunk it too. After reading that, I scanned the rest of the book, searching for something that might give me my answers, but there were none. There was one entry I came across, it was him mentioning about my escape. What caught my attention was the fact he had been watching me throughout my escape. But I couldn’t bother sweating about it anymore. The last entry was from the day before he died in the war.

I closed the book and left my room. Asher had gone and brought the diary immediately, yesterday night. He wanted to finish it as quick as possible. Understanding his urgency, I set on work instantly. I expected it to end up successful, but unfortunately it didn’t. I entered the room where Asher waited. He looked up instantly, but his face instantly fell when I shook my head. Before I could console him with words, Raden burst through the door. When he looked at me, I shook my head yet again.

“I know exactly who can help us.”, he said.

This piqued our interests. We looked hopefully at him.
