A precious meeting
I reached my destination. I stood, still trying to make out a fair decision.
Was there really a need to come?
But then, I was too curious to not go.
I entered d hotel, but wait. I didn't know the room number!
Just then a message popped up, with d room no. "581"
I went to d receptionist n asked whether where was the suite.
She showed me the directions.
"Thank you." I said.
As I was walking..I saw a cat walking by. Aww, such an adorable kitty.
I took it in my arms n started touching its fur. It was golden eyed n elegant beyond measure.
The cat gave a gentle smile, as if it knew me before. It's paw rested on my cheeks, as if it wanted to kiss on my cheek. I was admiring it, but it is when I came back to my senses. I never liked a cat so much before, and i thought that its owner must b waiting for it. I placed it on the floor n headed to my way.
At last I reached that suite.. N knocked on the door.. but no reply.
I again knocked. Again no reply.
I thought I shud enter my room.
I opened d door.. N sneeked inside. It was an elegant room, with sofas lined with beautiful embroideries. It was not a bedroom, it actually looked like a cabin. There was no one in. Just then I heard d sound of d door getting closed. I looked behind..
It was a man, most possibly the one who had called me. I thought he must be in his 40s, but he looked around 28.
"Hello, Isabella." he said.
"Who r you? Are u the one who phoned me?" I asked him, coming straightaway to the point.
He flashed a cocky smile.
"You r smart, like your sister."
He said.
Wait, did he say sister. I don't have any.
"Sister.? I dont have any sister." I blurted out. Surely the person got a misunderstanding.
"Oh, sorry. I suppose you don't know."
He apologised.
"What do you mean I don't know.?"
I thundered. "Are you sure you phoned the correct no. or you just misdialed the number.?" I frowned.
He came forward and looked directly in my eyes. "You are Isabella Brooks, aren't you.?"
"Yes, I am." I replied.
"Oh then, you are the correct person. Please, have a sit." He requested.
"No need." I said rudely.
"You just have to tell me why am I called over here.?" I added.
"I will tell you, but please sit."
"Now please don't ask any questions for a few seconds or else I am really sorry but you will have to face my wrath." He said, his face turning a bit irritated.
I sat down on the sofa and he sat on the opposite chair.
"Listen. I know, you are confused about why on this earth did I call you. But I have to tell you something important. But before that, can I ask you some questions?" He asked.
What did he want to know..!
"Go ahead." I said.
"You are 16 now, aren't you.?"
"Yes. But why did you want to know.?"
"I will tell you that later. And when is your birthday coming?"
"Actually, my current age is 15, but I say it's 16 because I will turning 16 this year."
Yeah, I do that.
"Ok, whatever, but when is your birthday?"
"7th Dec." I replied.
"Okay, now listen properly what I say. The name Isabella Brooks, isn't your real identity." He said.
I looked at him in horror. What did he just say, I thought.
"Yes, you will find hard to believe this, but you're not Isabella." He repeated.
"But, how can this be?" I asked.
"Yes, that's true. You are not your parents blood-related child. You are adopted."
I felt like crying on the spot, but I still couldnt believe my ears. He must be lying, I thought.
"Nonsense." I blabbered. "What proof do you have about this?"
"Then tell me, did you get attacked by a bloodsucking animal anytime.?"
He narrowed his eyes.
"You mean vampires?" I asked.
"Yes."
"Once. By two vampires. I was with a friend of mine."
"That means you know that vampires exist."
"Yes. But what do you want to say."
"How did you react? Did you run away. Or did you attack it back."
I had told him about the attack when I was with Olivia. I don't wanna say about a lady vampire's attack because Mitchell is also a vampire, and he had rescued me then.
"I attacked it, and after some time it turned to ash." I said.
"You said there were two."
."Why does it even matter.?" I shouted. "You were going to present a proof, right."
"Yes, that's what I meant. Any human can not kill a vampire so easily. "
He continued.
"Wait, wait. So you mean to say, I am not a human?"
"Yes." came the reply.
I gasped in shock.
"But my friend told me that a human might be able to kill a vampire if it is drugged." I recollected.
"How does your friend know this?"
He asked.
"Thats not important. But she said so, and i believe that."
"By looking at the vampires, you really think that they were drugged? I mean to say, they looked sleepy?" he asked.
Yes, he has a point. They didn't look drowsy, either.
I shook my head.
"See, it might be possible for a human to kill a drugged vampire and as you say that the vampires didn't look drowsy.. well, that clearly justifies my point." He smiled.
"I still don't get it." I sighed.
"I know this is very confusing. But it's it's fact that you aren't your parents child nor you're a human."
"Then who am I.?" I asked him.
"I can't tell you now. But you're born to be the saviour of our kingdom."
He added.
"Saviour.? What did you mean?"
"You will have to…"
Suddenly the room door threw open, and in came a young girl..though she looked older than me.
I looked puzzled. I never saw her before but it seemed I knew her.
"Heya." she said.
"Do I know you.?" I asked her.
She felt a bit insulted.
So I further added.
"Er. I mean to say, I feel like I have met you before."
She smiled. It was one of the most gentle smiles I had come across.
"See, Alyssa. I told you. It's her."
The man said.
"What do you mean by, it's her.?"
I asked them.
"Do you remember me?" She looked at me hopefully.
"Frankly to be spoken. I don't know you at first place." I said.
"I am Alyssa, as Josh mentioned."
Oh, his name is Josh.
"Oh. Nice to meet you. " I continued. "By the way, I was called here by this man.."
"Josh Taylor." he corrected.
"Whatever." I said.
"He has been telling me some things..which I think is nonsense. But I seriously, want to know why am I called here."
"I know your will whirl in all this confusion..but whatever he said is true." Alyssa told me.
"You mean to say I am a foster child of my parents?"
"Sadly, that's true." she said.
I couldn't believe it. I just couldn't believe it.
"Can you just make the things clear.. Miss Alyssa."
"No need to be formal. You can call me Alyssa."
"Ma'am, should I go out?." Josh said.
"Are you trying to prove her u r my servant.?"
"Nope. But I am going out. Ok then, see ya. " he waved and left.
"Okay then, he must''ve told you that you r not a human. So I will proceed.
Listen carefully." she said.
She continued. "16 years back. In the kingdom of Denzam..the neighbours of Digerati."
"Digerati..?" I said.. I knew that word..once Mitchell told me about it.
"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.
"Yes. A friend of mine just told me about that clan. That's his." I blabbered.
"Really..?" she was surprised.
"Wait, he is a vampire?" she asked.
"Yes."
"I might know him. Whats his name.?"
"Er. Mitchell Sanchez." I said.
"I think..that name is familiar."
Alyssa said. "Oh yea.. he's one doctor's son. A vampire doctor.."
"Carlisle Uncle." I said.
"Yeah..I do, I do know him. Our clans are right now waging war against Olemon.. wait do you even know what is olemon.?" she asked.
"Very well. He once told me about it.
I told her whatever he had told me that day.
"Okay, fine." she said.
" I will continue." she informed.
"Okay listen..our kingdom.. Denzam is at a far away place.. maybe somewhere near Texas.. but no human had even heard the word, I guarantee. So, 16 years ago, my parents.. were expecting their second child, and my sibling. Then at midnight at 12:00, my sister, Ashley was born. I was 6 years old then.. I was really happy at the birth of my sister. The entire kingdom was filled with happiness. But after 3 months, we came to know that my sister, was a rare child. She was born to save our kingdom from the evil forces of Olemon. For that, we had to keep her protected till she comes at an age which she can understand all the things happening in our surrounding."
But after 4 months.. we were attacked by the enemy. We don't know how, but Ashley disappeared." Alyssa said, with certain emotions in her eyes.
I felt sad for her. When she was talking about her sister she looked so happy.
Just then she turned to me, all these while she had turned her back.
"That child." she added. "My dear friend, is you."
