Hello, my dear people. Let me just say, I'm sooooo sorry I hadn't uploaded in what feels like an eternity. But I kinda had the first semestre of school behind me and just relaxed. And forgot that I had written this chapter on paper, like I always do.
But I thought this story is not so popular since I didn't really got any reviews... that kinda made me feel down. This is the first story I have ever uploaded into the internet.
But anyways. Hope you enjoy this (late) chapter! See bottom for more A/N.
It has been three days. Four since the disappearance of Lok and three since Sophie found him again. But Lok has yet to wake up.
After Dante and Zhalia finished their mission, which they apparently really had, they called to see how things were going. When they heard about Lok's disappearance, they were as worried as Sophie was, but visibly relaxed when she told them, that she found him again. She didn't tell them about his condition though. They insisted to come back the very day, so they should be at the house before midnight.
Sophie sighed. Something did not feel right at all. Something that to do with Lok. He looked normal but his magic was increasing by the day but that was only possible with training. And Lok was out cold for three days. That is what made her worry. 'Maybe something did happen… I just hope it's nothing to serious. It's partly my fault since I didn't try to stop him after the fight. Lok, please get better!' Sophie thought.
Dante was devastated. How could he have let this happen? If he had told Sophie and Lok that he wanted to spend some more time with Zhalia, maybe Lok wouldn't have been abducted and hurt. Sophie didn't tell them about Lok's condition, but Dante and Zhalia could read the worry from the girls face. Additionally, Lok was not near her. If he would be feeling like always, even with a little anger towards him, he would have been close to Sophie.
"Our plane leaves in an hour. If you want to buy something, better make it quick." Zhalia said, snapping him out of his thoughts. "Thanks, Zhalia. Looks like I can't hide my worries from you." Dante said. "Of course you can't. I am practically your wife by now, my little Dante-Bante." Zhalia teased, successfully turning Dante into a red Christmas-light. "This round goes to you." Dane mumbled, still blushing like a mad man.
After two hours of flight
To get to Dante's house from the airport, it takes half an hour by car. By foot 45 minutes. But Dante and Zhalia made it by foot in less than fifteen minutes. Being a seeker has its pro's.
The time they arrived, it was just about to hit 11 pm. Unlocking the door, they made their way into the house, expecting to see Lok and Sophie, but were surprised to only see Sophie pacing around the room. Deciding not to disturb her, they made their way up to their room, but unfortunately overheard Sophie muttering '…how am I going to tell them about Lok's condition...' Needless to say, Zhalia was worried. But decided not to tell Dante.
When it finally struck midnight, Dante and Zhalia decided to make their presence known. When they arrived in the living-room, they saw Sophie still pacing around the room. Zhalia finally decided she had enough, so she went over to the young girl and tapped her shoulder.
"Not now, Cherit! You know I have to think of a way to tell Zhalia and Dante about Lok!" Sophie snapped, turning her head angrily to the source of the tapping, but her anger morphed into shock and finally to realization and guilt within seconds.
Now she had done it. She officially screw up the biggest she had yet. Sha had been thinking for hours of a way to tell them about Lok's condition. Sophie thought that by the time they would arrive, she'd have found a way. But she hadn't. And now they were here.
Time seemed to freeze for a while before Dante asked "What do you mean by that? Is he alright?" Sophie couldn't speak. Her voice go stuck in her throat. "Sophie?" Dante urged her for an answer, but she couldn't take it anymore. So she did the only thing she could do at that very moment. She broke down. Physically and mentally. She wanted to cry her hearth out, but restrained herself from it. When she was about to speak, they suddenly heard a blood-freezing scream. Quickly getting on her feet, Sophie darted to Lok's room, Dante and Zhalia on her heels.
Reaching Lok's room, Sophie slammed the door open. Her eyes scanned through the room. It was dark, but the light of the full-moon, that illuminated through the window, was enough to allow them to see inside the room. The first thing Sophie realized was, that the bed was empty. With that in her thoughts she saw shuffling in the corner of the room. She wanted to squeal in happiness. But as soon as she laid eyes on the figure, she once again froze. She thought it was Lok, but this creature didn't seem human. Or at least fully human. She also noticed that it was lying on the floor and tried to stand up again. While it began to stand up, Sophie saw the hair. As soon as her brain processed the scene her eyes sent to it, she was at a loss for words. Dante and Zhalia were in the same state. There was only one person she knew had hair that blond. And that person laid in the bed the last time she saw him. After what felt like an eternity, Sophie finally managed to say "Lok?"
Hoi boy, that was difficult to write. But do not fret! I already have the next chapter completly written! Yay \(^o^)/ !
Also, I had a bit of a writers block... I can't really see a story with Lophie and Vampires, so... I wrote down a small change! It defenetly is a good one, if the reaction I got from my Beta-Reader was honest. But I am ope for any suggestions! The are actually highly appreceated.
Well, anyway. Hope to read from you soon!
Lykantro out!
