Bedding My Vampire Mate

They were still staring at the stairs when a long sexy leg wearing white glittering high heels became visible.

Just then the memory of six months ago flashed into everyone's head. They recalled that these were the same shoes and even the same manner she appeared back then.

"She is here. She is here to kill us all," Nora's scream of terror added even more fear to the mind of the guests who were already scared out of their wits.

Everyone in the hall shivered, hugging tightly whatever they had in their hands.

They were only two people in the large hall who were not the least affected by what was happening.

And these two people were none other than Kayden, the accomplice and Audrey, the one who has been dying to meet Joanna again even though it was her ghost.

"Is that really you, Anna?" Audrey muttered.

Instead of running toward the exit like the others she walked towards the stairs.

Joanna walked gracefully down the stairs. Although her expression was stern, she was having a blast seeing everyone in the hall shake to their bones.

If they had treated her like a human and given her a little bit of love. If they had not made her the thing of ridicule.

Maybe, just maybe they had not trampled on her pride including her life she wouldn't have gone to the extreme.

The moment she revealed her face, all the limelight centred on her and everyone's scream grew louder. They went even crazier than they have been.

Kayden who was enjoying the show couldn't resist laughing especially when he saw his mother grabbing the terrified Tracy and using the maid to shield herself.

[This is a thousand times more thrilling than I had imagined. She didn't let me down]

Kayden smiled at the lady who had changed her previous makeup to a scary one.

Her skin including her face looked unbelievably pale. She didn't resemble the lady he had been spending the night with but she looked so pale like a real ghost.

He could not help but wonder how she managed to pull off this horror movie vibe.

Joanna paused at the foot of the stairs and the lights in the room came on. She took time in staring at the faces of everyone in the hall.

Looking at their faces she could recall every way each one of them had wronged her.

If anyone should be blamed for the heartless girl she has become then each one of them was guilty of it.

Joanna could not help smiling when her gaze landed on Kayden. She could see how the naughty guy was trying his best to suppress his laughter.

Everyone was too busy fearing for their life to see just how much fun the King was having watching them suffer.

[I originally wanted to wrap up my ghost game with this much performance. But why do I strangely want to see him laugh even more]

Joanna stared at the silently laughing guy who was secretly giving her a thumbs up.

[Since he is looks even more thrilled than me, why don't I keep him even more entertained. I mean there is nothing wrong in doing this right?]

It was as if Bacon could read Joanna's mind because immediately after she finished thinking he began flying around the hall.

[Let's finish this one and for all]

Joanna started walking towards the corner everyone had sandwiched themselves.

The creepy music and screams in the background became louder as she approached where they all stood.

"It feels so dark and lonely down there. Which one of you wants to keep me company," Joanna said as she stretched her hand and tried to grab someone.

She felt like laughing when she saw all of them run backwards trampling on each other.

"Will you keep me company?" Joanna asked as she tried to grab Sophie causing the already horrified Sophie to freak out even more.

"Get behind me ghost," Sophie shouted, beating the air as she ran backwards.

"No one will keep me company, why? Why did you kill me if none of you is willing to accompany me in that dark place?" Joanna shouted. Her voice echoed in the large hall repeatedly.

The lights started blinking making everywhere creepier.

"Since you won't come to me then I will make my choice," Joanna said coldly.

She walked over to Laura and grabbed her by the hand.

"Mum, I don't wanna die, please save me," Laura shouted as she struggled to free herself from Joanna's grip.

They were all too scared to reason that if Joanna was a ghost, she wouldn't have been able to grab Laura.

"Save me, mum," Laura pleaded as she kept on struggling. Warm tears fell from her eyes as she screamed for help but none came to her rescue.

Joanna hauled Laura to the floor after they had climbed the stage. Immediately after she was released, Laura who was desperate to survive went on her knees and pleaded.

"I know I was wrong in treating you badly in the past but please don't kill me. Think of the fact that we were once siblings and let me live," Laura pleaded as she repeatedly rubbed both of her palms.

Hahaha…

Joanna burst out in a peal of deafening laughter. She laughed so hard that everyone wondered what was so funny that made the ghost laugh the way she did.

"Hahaha… this is so goddamn funny. My stomach hurts but surprisingly I can't seem to stop myself from laughing," Joanna said amid her hysterical laughter.

"Should I be grateful to you, Laura or the others for putting a smile on my face after such a long time?"

Joanna got everyone confused with the way she was talking. Although she was talking like a normal person the fear in the heart of everyone was still immense.

They dare not leave their spot for fear of falling victim to the vengeful ghost.

"It's so hilarious to see you all treating me like a ghost when I am very much alive. Hahaha…," Joanna laughed as she stared at their faces once again.

Judging from their expression she knew that they didn't believe her and she can't blame them for this.

The Ancient Forest Of No Return just like the name says, is a place where no one returns either alive or dead after setting foot into it.

Even powerful warriors of both the werewolf and vampire race never come back after stepping foot into the dreaded forest so who on Earth would believe that a weak girl like her would make it out there alive?

"Anna, are you really alive?" Audrey standing in front of the stage asked as she stared at the girl whose scary makeup had disappeared.

"Is that you?" Audrey asked once again. Some seconds later she was seen standing on the stage staring at Joanna from up close.

Out of everyone there, she was the only one daring enough to voluntarily go close to Joanna.

"You are not dead, hmm?" Audrey asked as she took slow steps towards Joanna.

Memories of the night of Joanna's eighteenth birthday flashed before her eyes.

Recalling that day caused a stir in Audrey's emotions. Tears bubbled in her eyes as she stared at her best friend's face.

"Hmmm…," Joanna shook her head affirmatively. She paid no attention to Laura who was still shivering close to the podium.

"I am very much alive," Joanna said as she smiled at Audrey.

Her eyes became misty for some reason.

When she was close enough Audrey threw reasoning out of the window and ran into Joanna's embrace.

Her tears flowed even more after confirming that the one standing there was really her best friend and not her ghost like people think.
