Apology Note

Honestly love your Kamilah posts with the screenshots they’re just *chefs kiss* mwah perfection! 🥰👌👩🏻‍🍳

Hello! Sorry for taking a while to reply. Thank you! I'm glad that you like my posts. :)

The dialogue...

The power she exudes... (we got to see the sexy red eyes again!)

Conclusion: Kamilah is one of the best LIs ever!

BONUS:

This is proof that Kamilah is tall! I've always pictured her as being taller than the MC. Hehe.

Hello, everyone. After I played the most recent chapter of BloodBound and saw what Kamilah would have replied if players had chosen the 'vampire flings' dialogue choice, I did some thinking and I eventually became inspired to write a new story. I haven't completed it yet, but I'd like to share a small preview of what I have so far. Here it is:

"I'm sorry." She finally manages. "I'm sorry for what I said. It was thoughtless and careless of me. I should've been more considerate of you."

You smirk sardonically. "Hmph. Maybe you should have. But then again, when we first met, you admitted to having had a lot of lovers. So that doesn't make what you said about vampire flings any less true, does it?

From the corner of your eye, you see the older vampire flinch at your remark.

A tense silence fills the air. "... No. It doesn't." She finally admits.

You give a derisive laugh at your ironic victory. "Ha. I thought so."

I'll probably post the story within the week, but I'll make sure to post it before the new chapter of BloodBound is released. I hope that you'll enjoy the story once it's posted!

Posting this because I can't get over how awesome and badass it looks.

In this scene, Kamilah confronts Gaius for all of his evil acts and makes it clear that she does not in any way forgive him.

And in this scene, Kamilah makes it clear that she no longer has any feelings for Gaius and that she loves the MC and is completely devoted to her.

In conclusion: Kamilah Sayeed and the MC belong with each other. Kamilah stans rejoice!

The Promise

Note:  Hello, everyone. I got the idea for this Kamilah x MC story some time after the latest BloodBound chapter was released. This takes place immediately after the events of the said chapter. Also regarding the Order of the Dawn,I assumed, for the purpose of this story, that they possess high-tech weapons specifically designed to take down vampires. The assumption is based on the information Adrian shared.

Anyway, this story is rather lengthy. Lol. I hope that you guys will like it! :)

P.S: Also, please forgive the title. I couldn’t think of anything else. Haha.

Amy’s POV

The Knights of the Order of the Dawn march through the entrance of Serafine's nightclub. As they fill the room, streams of flaming arrows fly across the room, immediately setting dozens of vampires on fire.

Screams fill the air as chaos erupts among the crowd. Vampires desperately push against one another in an attempt to escape.

"Amy, get down!" Serafine yells over the screeching as she pulls down to the floor to avoid getting hit by the arrows.

"Serafine, we gotta get to Adrian and Jax!" You tell her.

But your words don't seem to have reached her. Serafine looks wide-eyed at the ground before her.

"Serafine! Wake up!"

Your loud voice seems to have broken her from her stupor. "Oui! Stay close to me!"

Serafine grabs your hand as she expertly weaves her way through the panicking crowd. You barely manage to keep up with her, but eventually, you find yourselves back in the VIP room where you find Jax and Adrian talking to a group of frightened vampires.

"Guys, the Order of the Dawn is here!" You exclaim as an explanation.

With his eyes glowing red, Jax unsheathes his sword. "Yeah. We heard."

Adrian steps forward, his face grim. "We need to get out of here."

Serafine addresses him with a disheartened look on her face. "But there are too many of them." 

You see Adrian's face harden. "We have to do what we can! We've come this far, and there's too much at stake for us to give up now!"

"Adrian's right." Jax steps up beside him. "We can't stop. Not right now."

"But the Order..." Serafine mumbles. "... How did they even find my nightclub?"

You look at Serafine whose face is fraught with despair. Her eyes are unseeing - it's as if she's re-living a traumatic event.

Adrian notices her dazed state and grabs her hand to squeeze it firmly. "Serafine. Listen to me."

She turns to him with worried eyes. "You need to calm down." He tells her. "We can get through this. It's not over until it's over."

The French vampire looks at him for a moment before closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. When she opens them, you see red irises.

"You're right. We must fight back."

You grin at her. "That's the spirit."

Adrian cracks his knuckles as his own eyes slowly turn red. "Now then, shall we greet the Order?"

"Oui. We shall."

"Let's do this!" Jax growls.

----

Despite being greatly outnumbered; you and the others were able to put up a fight. Some of the other vampires joined you in the battle - you were all able to hold your own for a while.

But the fact remains that the Order is stronger and larger in number. As the battle progressed, you all started to sustain wounds from their technologically advanced weapons. And eventually, you, Adrian, Jax, Serafine and a few other survivors are crumpled on the ground and are surrounded by the Knights.

Your struggle to keep your eyes open while you cover your bloodied temple with your left hand. You try to hold your head steady with your right one.

"We couldn't beat them." You say with a defeated sigh.

"Damn. Those weapons of theirs are really something else.” Jax grunts as he clutches his badly burned shoulder.

“They’ve certainly… upgraded… their arsenal.” Serafine wheezes as she wraps her arms around her stomach.

“We came all this way... Damn it!" Jax yells in frustration.

"At the very least, we will not die as cowards." You hear Serafine seethe as she glares at faceless masks of the Knights.

"There's not… much that we… can do." Adrian grumbles – the pain from the blast to his back making it difficult for him to speak. "It was an honor to… have fought… alongside you all."

The Knight in front of you raises his arm. "Men, ready your aims!"

Simultaneously, all of the Knights aim their weapons at you, ready to strike.

You look at the Knights, then to your friends, and then to the still-lit ceiling. "Lily... Kamilah..." you say softly, "I hope you guys can finish what we started." You then close your eyes, waiting for it to be all over...

BOOM!

Something suddenly explodes, and you hear the Knights scream. Your nostrils are immediately invaded with the smell of smoke.

When you open your eyes, you see that the room is now filled with smoke and that the Knights have been scattered across the floor. Through the entrance, a group of red-eyed vampires arrives with weapons of their own. They immediately take advantage of the confusion and engage the members of the Order in combat.

And in a flash, a familiar face is kneeling in front of you.

"You called?" Kamilah smirks at you.

You could hardly believe your eyes. "Kamilah?!"

Even though she's smirking, you can see hints of relief and worry in her eyes as she looks at you. She instantly tears off one of her long sleeves and quickly wraps it around your head to stop the bleeding.

From beside you, the others react to her sudden appearance. "Wait... What?!" You hear Jax mumble in shock.

Despite her injured condition, Serafine smiles brightly at her. "Darling! So good to see you again!"

"Kamilah! But how?!" Adrian sputters before wincing in pain.

Kamilah looks over her shoulder to call out to another vampire. "Samuel! I need help with the injured!"

"Yes, Miss Sayeed!" In a matter of seconds, more vampires approach your wounded group.

In the blink of an eye, she's carrying you in her arms. "I'll explain later." She addresses all of you. "Right now, we have to get you all to safety."

"Hey. No arguments from me." You chuckle as you rest your head against her shoulder.

You see her smile at you quickly before addressing the others. "Let's move!"

In a matter of minutes, you're inside a large van.

"Amy!" Lily calls to you from the driver's seat.

"Hey, Lil." You smile at her weakly.

"Whoa. You guys look messed up!"

"Tell me something I don't know." Jax grumbles.

As soon as all the injured have been loaded in the van, Kamilah slams the door shut. "Now's not the time for pleasantries. We have to go now!"

Lily immediately takes the wheel and starts the engine. "Got it!"

Soon, you're zooming down the roads of Paris far away from the Order.

----

Four hours later

About four hours later, you’ve stopped at the front of the side of a mountain somewhere in the woods located miles away from the main city.

“Where are we?” You ask.

Kamilah responds as she places some items in a satchel. “We’re at an old safehouse that was used by European vampires back in the early 19th century as a hiding place.”

“Safehouse?” You ask, looking at the wide expanse of hard rock through the windshield.

“It’s built inside the mountain, Amy. The entrance is hidden. How cool is that?!” Lily explains.

“Oh. I see. But won’t the Order find us here?”

“We’ll only stay here for the night. We’ll move to a more secured area come dawn. Besides, this is one of the very few hideouts that the Order has yet to find.” Kamilah says as she slings the bag over her shoulder.

Serafine leans forward. “Oui. This was one of the safest places to go when on the run.”

“This is about as good a hiding place as any.” Jax says from his seat.

Kamilah addresses her other companions. “Get Adrian, Serafine, and Jax inside and give them blood packets. They need to heal immediately.” She then turns to you. “I’ll take care of Amy myself.” She effortlessly scoops you into her arms and carries you outside.

A short while later, you're sitting on a stool as Kamilah removes the rudimentary bandage around your head. She cleans the wound before placing some anti-bacteria solution on it. She then covers it with a long strip of proper medicinal gauze.

“Thanks.” You say.

"Not a problem. Now let's go meet with the others." She offers you her hand, and you take it – letting her pull you up.

----

You meet at the center of the safehouse and settle around an old and grimy ornate table that has seen better days.

“So, Kamilah…” Adrian begins, now completely healed, “Why are you here? How did you find us?”

Kamilah folds her hands on the table. “When you left to meet Serafine, I called some of my old contacts in Europe. I know as well as anyone that the Order of the Dawn is still active and is more dangerous now than ever. I asked them to watch your movements and also to collect information about the activities of the Order so that I would know if you ever get caught in one of their raids."

Jax couldn’t contain his shock. “So, you’ve been spying on us this whole time!?”

"I wouldn't exactly call it "spying." Kamilah began. "But I suppose I was."

“Well, it’s a good thing that you were!” Serafine places her hand on Kamilah’s forearm. “You saved our lives, darling! Thank you!”

The Egyptian vampire smiles at her French friend. “Of course.”

“When did you guys arrive in Paris?” You ask.

Lily turns to you. “We got here this afternoon! Talk about getting here in the nick of time, right?” She grins.

You feel your eyes widen. “This afternoon?!”

Kamilah clears her throat, prompting everyone to look at her. “Yes, we arrived this afternoon. One of my contacts told me that the Order was planning to raid an underground nightclub owned by a vampire. And when they told me that it belonged to Serafine, I knew that there was a chance that you would all be in grave danger. So, Lily and I left for Paris immediately. We also brought along some of our strongest Clan members since we’re going to need a larger group to be able to mobilize and strategize considering the extent of the Order’s influence.”

“But what about the rest of our Clan members?” Adrian asks, worry etched on his face.

“Don’t worry. I already evacuated our Clan members from New York City and called in a favor from our werewolf friend Cal. They’re now in New Orleans. Cal’s Alpha leader agreed to grant them temporary sanctuary.”

Both Adrian and Jax breathe out sighs of relief. “Good. At least they’re out of immediate danger.” Adrian comments.

Jax nods in agreement. “Yeah. Their situation is about as good as it can get.”

You all let a brief moment pass to allow some of the tension to fade. Kamilah eventually speaks again.

“So, tell me. What exactly have you accomplished so far regarding our search for the Tomb of the First?”

----

Two hours later

You and the others quickly caught Lily and Kamilah up to speed. You told them that you already obtained the Book of Blood, which thankfully, was in Adrian’s satchel the entire time. Serafine then explained that the next step was to find the Eye of Bathory amulet, which was last known to have been possessed by vampires from Prague. Everyone agreed that Lily would help Serafine gather data about the amulet’s current whereabouts and that Serafine would look through your vampiric memories for more information once you regain your strength.

You're now in one of the old bunkers of the safe house. The room's only source of light is a single lit candle placed on the bedside table. You toss and turn in the centuries-old cotton bed, unable to fall asleep because of your racing thoughts.

Now that the adrenaline of fighting has subsided, your mind starts to wander to other things. You think about the visions that you’ve seen. Now that you’re aware of your powers as a BloodKeeper, you're able to recall better the memories that you've already witnessed. You think of the First Vampire Rheya and how she was banished to the caves where she eventually gained her powers. You then think about Gaius as a human soldier and how different he was back then. Then your thoughts go to Kamilah.

You think about how she was forcibly Turned against her will by Gaius. You then think about how, despite that fact, the two of them looked at each other so lovingly centuries after.

You immediately feel a pit of unease form in your stomach. You've always wondered what kind of relationship Kamilah shared with Gaius. You've always wanted to ask her but thought better of it considering the situation you're all in. She mentioned that she was his Queen and that she did love him before. She also said the Gaius’s return has made her feel vulnerable, but that only made you even more curious about what they had before. Apart from that and a few other tidbits of information, you have no idea about the extent of their relationship. You’ve seen a few memories, but you know there are more.

Your train of thought then leads you to examine your own relationship with Kamilah. She’s shown you tenderness and affection, but just how much does she really care? She admits that you’re the first person that she’s ever been with in a century and that fact in itself already means something. But just how much does it mean?

Your reverie is interrupted by the sound of the door creaking.

“I thought that you’d be asleep.” Kamilah says softly.

You raise your head to look at her. “Hey.”

Kamilah steps inside and closes the door gently. “Why aren’t you asleep?”

You sit up. “I’ve got a lot on my mind. What brings you here?”

She makes her way to your bed and sits beside you. “I wanted to check in on you.”

She raises her hand to gently touch your bandaged head. “How are you feeling?”

“I feel better.”

“Hmmm.” Kamilah drops her hand to her lap.

You both stay in silence for a few moments before Kamilah reaches for your hand. “I’m sorry for not arriving sooner.”

You look at her and see worry in her eyes. “You have nothing to apologize for. You did what you were able to do. What matters is that we got out okay.”

She smiles gently before leaning closer. “I’ve missed you, Amy.”

When she leans in to kiss you, you immediately jerk back.

Kamilah looks at you in quiet surprise. "What's wrong?"

You stare at her confused face, wondering how you should express what you’ve been thinking about earlier. “…I--…I—” you start to grasp for the right words.

You eventually sigh in defeat before getting up from the bed.

“Amy? What’s wrong?” Concern starts to lace her voice as she watches you slowly pace around the small area of the bunker.

You finally stop in front of the wall and exhale. “I want to know.”

“Know what?” Kamilah asks from behind you.

You swallow before answering. “About you and Gaius.” You let a few seconds pass before you turn around to face her. You see that her face is frozen in shock – her brown eyes are widened, and her mouth is slightly agape.

It takes her a moment to shake herself out of her stupor. “You… what?!” For once, she seems to be at a loss for words. “…Amy, you already know that I was his Queen. But that’s all in the past now.” She offers as an explanation.

You shake your head. “No, Kamilah. I want to know the full extent of your relationship with him.”

Your response seems to have shocked her even further. “Why? Why do you want to know?”

You press your lips into a hard line. "Because I saw memories of you and Gaius…" you begin, watching Kamilah's reaction. "I know that you tried to kill him before he Turned you without your consent." At this line, Kamilah's eyes widened even further. "I also know that centuries afterward, the two of you seemed so happy together."

You eventually pause as you try to collect your turbulent thoughts. “What I’m trying to say is that I’m c-confused.” You feel tears starting to prick the corners of your eyes. “I know that you went through a lot as a vampire. I saw some of your memories, but I still don’t have all the answers. You went through so much together with him. And the fact that I’m confused m-makes me feel a-afraid.” Your voice is now trembling.

“Afraid of what?”

“Afraid that you might still feel something for him!” At this point, the tears have started to flow freely. "Don't get me wrong, Kamilah. I know that you won't turn on us. But I can't help but feel scared.

“I don’t exactly know what we have between us, Kamilah. But… you mean a lot to me. I know that we’ve only known each other for barely a year, but after everything that we’ve been through, I feel connected to you. And… the idea of you still having feelings for him… it breaks my heart.”

You let your tears trail down your cheeks as you continue to sob softly. Kamilah could only stare at you in shock. Your confession seems to have shaken her.

She remains immobile for what seems like an eternity. But then she closes her eyes before taking a deep breath.

"Amy." The quiet and firm way Kamilah says your name instantly silences you.

She quietly moves from the bed and steps towards you. When you look into her eyes, you see raw vulnerability. Kamilah tentatively lifts a hand. She hovers it over the side of your face, and when you show no signs of jerking away, she places it on your cheek. She begins to gently stroke your tear-stained skin with her thumb.

"I know that you have a lot of questions to ask." Her voice is soft. "I know that you want clarifications. And you should get the answers. I’m sorry that you feel this way…

“But now is not the time for such a conversation. Too much is at stake, and there is too little time."

You feel an ache in your chest. "But Kamilah ----" you start to protest.

She silences you once again, this time by placing a finger from her free hand against your lips. "Ssshhh." She lets the finger linger for a moment.

"Let me finish." You look at her with wide eyes before giving a small nod. Kamilah drops her finger. "This conversation will not only be quite long. It will also be... unpleasant.

“And honestly, I… don’t feel ready to tell you everything just yet. I want to. And I will eventually. But I can’t. Just not right now.

"But I want you to know this: whatever Gaius and I had in the past doesn't matter anymore. The Kamilah Sayeed who was under his spell is no more. She has been dead for a long time now. She died the moment she saw how truly dark and cruel he is.”

She takes a second to let out a breath.

"Amy." She says your name again, the vulnerability more evident. "You are what matters to me right now. I care about you. So much. You mean a great deal to me.

"I don't know what the outcome of all of this will be, but regardless of what may happen..."

She pauses as she leans in closer. "I want you to know that you make me want to be a better person. You make me feel things that I haven't felt in a long time. You remind me that there's still hope in the world. You make me want to try and strive harder. I am just thankful that you came into my life... And I want you to stay in my life."

Her words make you feel a rush of emotions. As you hold her gaze and take in the vulnerability and sincerity that she allowed to slip through her walls, you know that she's telling you the truth.

Unable to help yourself, you press your lips against hers. Kamilah wraps her free arm around your waist as she continues to stroke the side of your face with her hand. And you tangle your fingers into her hair as your lips and tongues brush together.

You rest your forehead against hers when you pull away.

"Kamilah..." you stare into her eyes intently. "I believe you…” You continue to stare into her deep brown eyes and take in the warmth and sincerity they emanate. "We still have… a lot of things to iron out between us. But I know for sure that being with you will be worth everything that we have to go through.” She smiles at your declaration.

You untangle your fingers from her hair strands and settle them on her shoulders. "I know that we have a long way to go before all of this over. But... whatever happens, let's face it together. And whatever comes after, let's figure out together too. Promise?"

Kamilah looks at you - the earnestness in her eyes is more apparent than ever. "I promise." She whispers the words solemnly against your lips before kissing you again.

Hello. I just noticed that some of my posted stories contain typos and other grammatical errors. I apologize for that. I should review my stories more thoroughly before posting them. My apologies. :(

We don't have to wait for long! Yes!

Imagine the Bloodbound team and Xenocrates joining forces in order to take Gaius down.

Is such a scenario likely? Most probably not? (Or who knows? Lol.) But such an outcome would be an interesting turn of events.

On BloodBound III:

I think that it might be released sometime in November. Or perhaps during the last few days of October. Maybe or maybe not.

Anyway, I'm excited to see our favorite vampires again! Especially Kamilah and the MC. Hehe.
