Her Soul and His Blood

Chapter 16: 16. Traitor

She went downstairs. Her mom is cooking in the kitchen. She went beside her.

" yes sweetie what do you want?"

" mom, I wanted to ask you something"

" No permission to go with your boy friend today. Because I can see you upset."

" no mom, not that. Something related to our ancestry."

" the what?" Mrs.Christi turn off the stove and looked back at Zella.

" mom, what do you know about this necklace and how is it related to our ancestors."

" this necklace was given to you by your old grandmother as a gift when you were born. Thats it." Her

face turned red.

With a low voice Zella said " but mom, there is something with this necklace. I can see the future mom."

" stop saying crap kid. I have no time to play with you. Go and read something."

" believe me mom, I told you the truth."

" Don't act like your grandmother."

" I wanted to see her."

"You are not going to see that old lady with lot of secrets and craps to say."she pushed Zella away and

warned her.

" if you speak anything like that, I'm going to throw you out of this house. I know this could happen thats

the reason why I made you stay away from her."

" grandma didn't do anything mom."

"She acted weird and now you are acting weird. She use to hallucinate everyday and say things which

wont even happen in this world. She use to think you are special and you have some kind of super

power. Look Zella grandma was crazy and lived with her myths. And if you do like her then you will end

up like her, all alone and ignored."

"Mom"

" I told you to go to your room and study for your exams. You got me?"

Zella rolled her eyes and went back to her room stamping on the floors while climbing the stairs and

banging the doors of her room.

" grandma where are you? I need you. You are the only one who can tell me everything."

Zella couldn't sleep that day. She had many nightmares. She had lot of questions without any answers.

The Answers she was searching for could be answered by the one she is prohibited to see.

Days passed. Lance didn't show up in class after that incidence. Zella was scared not to see Lance for

days. Eli and Percy told Zella that she is acting different and gloomy all these days.

" why are you behaving like this. Why are friends for. Tell us what is making you upset."

" nothing. Im alright"

Zella left the class and went to Lance's house. She rang the door bell. Merlin opened the door.

" hi Zella" Merlin smiled at her.

" hi, where is Lance?"

" ohh. He is upstairs." NôvelDrama.Org © content.

" why didn't he come to school?"

" come in Zella, we will talk from inside."

Merlin took Zella inside and she closed the door and took her to the sofa. They both sat.

" what happened to Lance."

" nothing. He just took few days off."

" but why? Is there any problem. Can I meet him"

" its just, he told us that you come to know everything about us, so Dad told him not to get you into

trouble because of him and not to meet you."

" Mr. Peterson, why would he tell that ?"

" well Lance is weak and he didn't had any blood after that incidence. I come to say that actually he

didn't had any blood these days. So he is weak and he might harm you due to blood thirst." She

muttered " and he thinks that he will be a threat for you.we all think that he might be."

" how can he be a threat when there is a real threat outside. I wanted to meet him, can I?"

Merlin waved her the way to upstairs. Zella climbed up and went to Lance's room. She knocked the

door and entered inside. Lance was laying down thinking about someone most probably Zella.

" Lance... why didn't you come to class these days?"

" well.. I am not well,stay away from me Zella."

" Don't lie to me Lance.You are a vampire,So you don't get sick."

" why did you come?"

" Are you avoiding me? You told me that you will protect me and now I didn't see your face for weeks."

Lance's face was dull like he was hurt. He had a pain in his heart. He wanted to tell something but he

couldn't.

" what is it Lance?" These words had great concern and impact on Lance.

" Zella, I was being cheated all these years. I am not their son. But they never treated me like an

adopted one. But I cant believe this." Tears flowed from his eyes.

" Lance.." Zella sat near Lance.

" the blood in my vein is an evils blood. My father was the most cruel vampire, ever seen. You are not

safe here. Go away from me?"

" its not the past that decide you Lance. Its who you are which decides you. I am not going anywhere. I

am staying with you. Whatever you are vampire or human that doesn't matter to me. I am in love with

you and I cant live without you."

Lance hugged Zella tight and they both kissed each other like they are meeting after a thousand years.

They were in their own world being close to each other by every way. The sun was even smiling at

them. Zella's necklace started shining bright and they were getting more closer. It was like they had

some sort of connection before. Zella got some more power as the necklace was shining. She felt the

energy flowing through her body. The things in that room started flying here and there. There was a

intense luminous in that room. Her birthmark was also shining and her eyes became blue from green.

Even his eyes changed into blue.

They both glanced at each other and noticed that her necklace is shining and the things around were

flying. Lance also noticed that her birthmark is shining too but this time without any burning sensation.
