At the garden
I had gone to Olivia's place at 3:00. We completed our H.W, taught each other and cleared doubts. Later we played chess. We just talked about the werewolves later, and she told me some interesting facts about them. Luckily they didnt crave for human blood. Also that, they eat food just like we humans, but they get hungry a lot. It was 5:00 now, and it was time to leave. Before leaving, I ask Olivia.
"Olivia, do you really like Christopher?"
"You know the answer." She said.
"I mean, it didn't matter first to me when I didn't knew about you. But now, you being werewolf and my brother being..." I said. I didn't want to say anything further.
"Yes, you are right. It is normal in vampire boy-human girl, werewolf boy-human girl relationship. But not in werewolf girl-human guy relation. And we don't have permission to do so, either. So, it might be impossible."
She said, with sadness in her voice.
"May I ask you one more thing?" I asked.
"Why do you always have questions?" She looked bored.
"Please." I requested. She nodded.
"Why were you hating Mitchell at the first place. Only b'coz he is a vampire.?" I asked.
"I knew you would ask. Actually, yes. As well as no. I hated him that time because he was dating Janice. And I also knew he was pretending. I thought it was to make you hurt. That's it."
"Oh well, and the good part is I felt he was a fool." I laughed.
"Bells, you hiding something from me?" She asked, her face turning doubtful.
"Nope. Why do you ask.?"
"Janice was behaving crazy today. And I guess you know the reason." She said, looking into my eyes.
"Yes, the thing is. Mitchell bit Janice." I confessed.
"What? Ah, now I am behaving like crazy. Bloodsucker will suck blood of course." She smirked.
"It is when i came to know about him. I just followed him in the gym and saw this." I told.
"Then did he attack you?" She looked horrified.
"No, but he just forced me to sit and listen what he has to say. And please, don't tell this to anyone. I had promised him so." I requested.
"Okay. Now go. It is 5:15 now. We just talked for the 15 minutes and forgot time." She said.
I nodded and left.
On the way I visited my favourite garden, Sunshine Valley. Yeah, it was my favourite park as it was very peaceful. The breeze was soothing, and the birds were chirping tunes. Suddenly I heard a sound, of someone moving. I looked around and saw Karen ma'am, smiling at me. I smiled back.
"Hi, you here?" She asked. Woman, I can't come here? I thought.
"Yes, I come here sometimes. Didn't expect you to come over here." I told politely.
" Okay, then. How is your friend doing?" She asked.
"Fine." I told. I glanced at my watch. Suddenly a voice in my mind said. "Move out of there." It was Mitchell.
"Sorry, but I got to leave now. Bye." I rushed, but she stopped me.
"Where are you going, kid. I couldn't talk to you since I came at school. Let's chat." She said.
"Sorry ma'am. But I am late. I got to go." I said and ran off.
"I said stop." She ordered. There was no way escaping now, I thought.
"Turn around." She said. I did so.
"Did you know, what a big mistake you had done by coming here." She said. I didn't get what she meant, but I knew she was being dreadful.
"Ma'am, please be clear. I have no idea what you are talking about." I told her.
"You are Mitchell's buddy. Right?" She said.
"Um, we talk sometimes." I told, trying to make it difficult for her to understand.
"Speak it up." She roared.
"I told you the answer." I said. "Lie to her." The voice said again.
"Are you his friend or not." She asked.
"I am not." I lied.
"Really?" She asked.
"Yes."
"Let's check it. If he is really not your friend, then he will not care if I hurt you." She laughed.
What she had on her mind. I thought.
"What do you mean." I asked.
"I am his enemy, Alexandra." She said. I remembered Mitchell's sentence, that he had told about some danger lurking in our school.
"But why are you pulling me in this.?" I asked.
"Because you are his friend." She said.
"I told you I am not." I said.
Without any warning, she suddenly leaped on me. I had thought she might be vampire or werewolf. She was a vampire.
I knew boxing very well, though it was no match for her. But still, I punched on her face and pushed her few steps ahead. I didn't understand from where I got this power. Maybe somebody helped.
"Who is there?!" She roared. She now looked more dreadful with her now bizarre hair.
"Using my friend as a weapon against me. Not a smart move." Somebody said. And I knew that would be Mitchell.
"How did you get in here." Karen, I mean Alexandra roared. Mitchell just kept watching her with fiery eyes.
"Oh, I forgot. You are powerful. Isn't it." She smirked.
"In one second I could beat you to death, but I will not do it. I knew very well from the first day it was you. But your bad luck, I recognised you even though you put a fake alias and different hairstyle. Now, do you want to surrender or die?" He asked.
"Mitchell!" Alexandra roared. She came running in his direction, very fast.
She was caught his throat with her hand, but Mitchell was faster. He threw her on the ground and started tackling with her. "Isabella, close your eyes. It's an order. For you will not be able to see this." He said.
I closed my eyes, after a few seconds I heard cries... "aahh." It cried.
"Can I open?" I asked. I had no reply. I asked again. "Mmm." He said. I opened my eyes.
I didn't see her. I looked around, she was nowhere in sight. I remembered, once Olivia had told me that vampires turn into dust after being killed. Then I caught Mitchell smiling at me.
"She turned into dust?" I asked.
"You know it. Then why do you ask." He said.
"What exactly did you do to her." I questioned.
"Nothing. Just killed brutally." He said.
"Oh." I uttered.
"Let's go home?" He asked.
"I want to know everything. Please." I requested.
"What do you want to know.?" He asked
"Who was she? That danger you were talking about? Is the matter solved? Or there is one more person to tackle with?" I asked.
"One question at a time." He said.
"Answer it one by one." I said.
"Ah." He said. "Okay, then listen. She is Alexandra, as she already told you. No, not exactly she is the danger. She was just an assistant. She had come over here to gather information about the vampires of Digerati. My clan. She is our rival, the danger I was talking about is the daughter of the vampire king of Olemon, our enemies. This enemity is since 2000 years. Even before I was born. The two covens fought with each other, desperate to destroy each other. The Olemon Princess's name is Aurora. Her parents were killed in our battle, and she wants to avenge it. Some vampires who did not want to fight transfered here, I mean the human society, living in disguise as normal humans. My father took the form of a 15 year old, and started studying at your father's school. Our fathers became best friends, but your father unaware of the facts. Even when he knew about us, he did not feel unsafe, as he knew that my dad will not harm him. Vampires are like that, they never harm their loved ones, either a human or something else. My father was 99 at that time. He had actually come there and living in disguise, to cause trouble in Olemon coven. But later he stopped it, after we were born. He qualified as a doctor and started his practice. But now, it is different. We will also be included in it. A war will be taken place. I, mom, dad and others will be in this war. We had killed many of the opponent's people, so Aurora will be busy raising army. Kallie wanted to take part, but you know her case." He concluded.
"To tell the truth, I felt like listening to a story. No human can even imagine about this. I mean, I don't know about others, but I never imagined it." I said. To this he touched my cheek and told. "I know it." He said. His touch felt good.
"But tell me, how did you know I am here?" I asked.
"Actually, I was following Alexandra. And found you." He said. "You like coming over here, I guess." He smiled.
"Yes, I used to come here with my parents when I was small. This was the only place where I got peaceful. Very few people come here, I don't know why." I said, looking at the surroundings.
"Hmm. Should I drop you at home?" He asked. "Only if you like." He said, expecting an yes.
"Yeah, sure." I said. He let out a wide smile.
In the car
We were just sitting in the car. Mitchell was driving, and did not talk after that. I wanted to talk but didn't want to disturb him. Suddenly he took out his hand and took it next to me. I just got scared. "Just want to close the window." He said. I moved a bit behind and he closed it.
"Why you so quiet?" He asked.
"Simply. Why?" I asked.
"No, you usually talk. Don't have the habit to see you quiet." He smiled. "You can talk if you wish, I have no problem."
"Its nothing. I mean, we can talk later." I said.
He caught my hand and held it tight. "Don't worry, no one will hurt you." He assured.
All I did is smile. "For now just concentrate on driving." I told.
"I can also drive without opening my eyes. " he told.
"So, you are powerful." I told, then looked outside the window.
"Yeah, I hate to admit. But yes I am." He told.
"But how come I heard your voice but Alexandra didn't when you were advising me?" I asked.
"Its magic." Mitchell told. He then stopped the car. "You may go." He told. We had reached home.
I opened the door, "bye.' I said and left. I stopped after a few steps, and looked back. He was staring at me. He looked a bit startled. He then waved bye. I did the same and went in my house.
"Hey mom,' I said.
"Hi, how is Olivia doing?" She asked.
"She is doing fine. But you didn't ask me like that, isn't it." I said. She looked a bit upset.
"I don't think I need to ask you about that. Because I know very well, you are always cheerful and happy."
She exclaimed.
"And you might be forgetting... I HATE flattering." I told.
"You in a bad mood?" Chris entered in.
"Some what. Okay, just forget it. I am going in my room." I rushed the discussion and went in.
Later I just went online again. I know, I am addicted to my PC. I searched for Mitchell's account everywhere. I also searched Kallie's friend list. He was not there. I was upset. What if he blocked me?! No way! But why will he block me. We are friends, after all.
I went near the window and there saw Mitchell talking with Jake.
Mitchell called out to Jake. Jake had come back from his football practice. He looked tired. Then they started talking. I couldn't hear what they were talking about. Maybe just introducing themselves. I knew there was no point in trying to hear. If anything was important, Jake would inform me later. I just went to my bed and lied down.
Mitchell's POV
She looked back and saw me. I waved her bye. She did the same. Then she went to her house. I left from there. In the evening, at 6:00 o'clock, I came back at home. I looked up, no, she was not there in the balcony or the window. Shit, that girl had smitten me. Just then I saw her younger brother, something Jacky, was going inside his house. God, he was so chubby and had baby fat. I called out to him, "Hey Jacky." I called out to him.
He did not respond. I called out again. Then he stopped. He turned around and said.
"Hey, its Jake. I got an awesome name, please don't spoil the fun." He looked bored. He said in the same style Isabella had responded to my sis when she uttered her name wrong.
"Yeah, Jake. I am sorry. Can I talk for a minute.?"
"Yeah..(puff)..sure..(puff)." He said. He seemed to be tired and coming from some practice.
Well, where is..?" I made some gestures with my head, to ask about Isabella.
"Oh, dad. He is fine." He said. Eeks, no.
"No. Er, I mean.." I gave the same reaction again.
"Who? Christopher? He is also doing fine." He said, smiling. No..he didn't get my point.
"No, I mean..opposite of your brother." I told him.
He scratched his head for a while. "Opposite of brother..opposite of brother.." he muttered.
Stupid boy, can't even get what I want to say..doesn't get to know things as quickly as Isabella.
"Ha, got it. Sis, right." His face shone as if he won a quiz.
"Yes, yes. Right. Where is?" I asked. I was about to complete it, but then this lad interrupted.
"You meant sis, right. Then can't you tell properly. I had to scratch my head so much." He nearly yelled. Now I got angry. Why did he have to interrupt me. Control, Mitchell. Control. My mind said.
"Yeah, sorry. But please tell me, where is your sister?"
"She must be studying in her room or playing on the computer." He said casually.
"Can you give her my message?" I asked.
"Yeah, I would like to become a messenger guy." He said. I just ignored him, for god's sake.
"Then tell her that the DEVIL wants to be her friend ." I told him.
"You kidding me. Who is devil." He asked.
"You are a messenger guy, isn't it. So just send her my message. She will get it." I told.
He just snorted and said. "Work will be done." We shook hands and he left.
Isabella's PoV
I heard a knock on the door. "Come in." I said. I saw Jake enetering. I got up from the bed and sat on a chair. "What brings you here, Jake?" I asked.
"The devil wants to be your friend." He said.
At first, I didn't understand what he meant. "What!?" I yelled.
"I said 'the devil wants to be your friend." He said.
"What does that mean?" I asked.
"That neighbour of ours, Mitchell. He had told me to give this message. I asked him what does that mean, he said that you will understand it." He said. "Okay, then. Bye." He threw open the door and went out.
I didn't get what he meant. Just then a notification popped on my phone. It was for Facebook. I did had that app, but I thought FB was boring on phone. There was a friend request. I checked and saw that a user named THEdevil sent me a request. I got it. It was Mitchell. Also,I found a mutual friend; Kallie.
Yeah! I thought. I clicked accept. A big smile came across my face.
How was it? Reviews please.
