3 FLASHBACKS

Clifford

****************************

Streets were dark,the only light that illuminated them came from the moon. Even the clouds tried to cover the moon but the wind blew them away. This was the time we looked for food, I had my army who roamed the streets at night hunting for blood. We took everything that came our way, Varmil my first creation was leading the newbies teaching them how to hunt and avoiding public eye, like that ever mattered, anyway, we were on the top of the food chain nothing could stop us.

we heard a cry which made us glare at each other. Rushing toward the sound near alarm. I saw a small bag near the gas station, taking a glance, inside there was a baby. It was wrapped with a warm blanket and there she lay watching the skies with curiosity.

My face come in her view upside down and the little thing smiled as her coffee brown eyes grow bigger. My heart jumped as she stretched her little arms to reach for me. I hesitated her reach and she frowned upon my reaction. I could not move, my brain didn't seem to function I just glared at her. She was around 9 months, her two rabbit tooth on her upper jaw come to view when she smiled.

I was taken back not noticing that the rest of my army was with me now, the newbies eyed the child with lust and hutorments was clear they were fight not to hurt her. Then in a blink there was a war between them wanting to reach the prize, feeling the commotion the child cried, I took her into my hands then mind linked the newbies to be silence.

The poor thing looked at me and smiled. What am I going to do with a human today?. My inner demon was far out of reach it felt like it was afraid of this sweet creature in my arms. Then an idea hit me, I started walking to the south near a Catholic church with an orphanage. I once visited the church after I was turned to whatever I am today.

Jumping over their perimeter wall I dropped the baby on the father's door and knocked, I lightly pinched the child so that it would cry and then retrieved to the shadow waiting for them to take her in.

****************************

I woke up from my dream, no to me this was a flashback of the day I had saved her. I wonder how she is doing. The events of that night have been playing in my mind since I left her 18 years ago. I never saw her again since that night.

woke up today felling hang overed due to last night's dream. The events that took place eighteen years ago, still haunting me to date.

I feel like shit everyday but, I was now the king of the universe I had created. The devil was unleashed that day, in that lab. They had created something an immortal being, and now the humana were paying for their greed.

The scientists had lied to me when they said they were creating a revolution for mankind. They used me as a lab rat, but in return I was now free and the most powerful creature that existed. I had gifts, Nothing affected me not even the sun itself. Not even the army I had could stand against me. I could control all the elements of the earth, I understood every language that existed. In a normal world I would be considered a genius but all this came with an advantage that everything was under my finger tips, I even controlled the human government.

I had a dark side. The beast inside me killed them all on that night for revenge. It took pride in every life I took, it only aim was to see all human suffer . The shadow was so dominant and impatient, it just wanted everything in a heart beat. I was loosing the human part of me but that never scared me. He was a part of me that took control after every sunset and during the cold winters, but I had learnt to accommodate it. Therefore I was always unsafe for human to be outside after the sunset.

Lazily sprang out of my bed to prepare myself for work. I was the founder CEO of cliff enterprises, thus, I had a lot in do. My company's main venture was real estate but we were also majority shareholders in education, agriculture and health sectors.

The beast ensured that we took control of all important sectors of human life and left then wholly dependent on us. I had indirect say on all decision made by the government, I had my own army of shadow but they couldn't roam in the sun.

After having breakfast I headed to my office. My building was dated to my liking, it was a large specious room with bright white marbled floors which were kept clean all the time. Different pieces of art from across the world were seen on everywhere except in my office.

Taking my private elevator I entered my office ready for today's challenge. My life was all about work and meetings

After series of meetings I was feeling exhausted and I needed a drink in order forget my torments. I request my secretary to make the arrangement for a car that would take me to an underground immortal club named shanty.

I owned the shanty, it was were all my operations were carried. Immortals only came here to drink and have fun they could not have on the outside world. Strippers were in plenty and the would sort all the needs one could ever imagine of. It was on Friday a day that the club was filled to capacity. I made my way to my office located on the VIP section and called the waitress to bring me a glass of type O negative blood.After delivering my order she left me as I drowned myself going through the club's paper work until night time. Today I would lead the team for hunting once again.
