Her Soul and His Blood

Chapter 5: 5. The Crush

She was expecting him to talk, but he didn't approach her. The next class was started by the English

lecturer. It was about Romeo and Julie, the romantic atmosphere made Zella to enter into a different

world.

Zella gaped openly as she observed his sharp jaw, chin and cheek bones. On either side of his straight

nose were two blazing dark black eyes. His dark brows were graceful. All of it was framed with thick

warm dark chocolate curls. His curls were midnight black which gave a hot look to his white pale skin.

He looked like a seasoned warrior. His skin glittered when the sun struck his skin. His eyes told of

something that she wasn't able to read. His appearance alone was seductive and at once she imagined

herself and him as Romeo and Juliet.

His ashen white skin was so seductive that one would like to crawl back.At once he made her breath

slow down.

"Ugh ugh" percy interrupted her with a cough.

He frowned at her in a way that said 'I got you' and grinned. She started blushing and they continued

listening to the lecture.

Lance looked to his side and saw Zella. His eyes were intense and his lips started moving. That look

was per fervid. He watched the wavy movement of her hair, her beautiful eyes and her rosy lips. His

eyes scanned her from top to bottom. His intensity could pierce through her. He stared at her

continuously without breaking a sweat and swallowed his saliva. It became even more intense and his

iris changed color from black to blue. He had butterflies on his stomach. He had some irresistible

feeling for her. Something which made him to think 'she is mine'. For a moment, his concentration was

on her and not in class.

He exerted himself back to class. " No, I shouldn't" he mumbled.

The class got over and everyone was in a hangover of Romeo and Juliet. After a long chit chat they

started to leave the class. Zella got up from her seat and her focus was on him. She gave him a smile

but he looked away.

'He is so rude' she gave a sigh and felt that everything was in vain.

And they were making their way to canteen, Zella,Eli and Percy the trio.

" what's up buddy, why so dull?" Eli inquired. She answered "nothing".

Zella's face was gloomy, and she was still thinking about the way he avoided her. The three routed their

way to canteen, the place where their moods can be changed.

On their way to canteen, Mia, Lisa and Anna the three real jerks stepped into their way.

" Come on, introduce yourself to us." Mia,who is tall with braided hair,tanned skin and wearing a classic

jean and top pushed Zella and asked her.

"There is no need for her to introduce herself to you" Eli replied with anger.

"You creep, stay out of it or else... " Lisa, who is less taller than Mia, white skin and with ginger red hair

left open, and green eyes with a skirt and mini top shouted.

"or else what will happen?" Percy interrupted.

The three kept silent because Percy had a hand over those three. He was quite famous in the school

and nobody wanted to create issues with him. He is straight forward. He is last year wrestling champion

in school too.

"Lets leave girls" Anna, who's the gang leader, she has beautiful ocean blue eyes, ashen blonde hair

which was tied into a pony tail, same height as Mia,slim and gorgeous with her summer top and jeans.

She gave a fuming look to Zella and said "we will get you later and you'll pay for this".

She got frightened by those words because she is new to this school. She didn't want to create any

enemies here without even knowing she already had an enemy whom she never met.

They entered canteen and there was a huge line. Percy managed to squeeze in between and called

both of them.

" Eli you are so courageous.., I didn't know" Percy commented with excitement.

" Maybe you didn't notice me before" Eli said that hastily. "You never noticed"

Percy got that point and said "May be because of your specs" He laughed, Eli cocked her brow.

Zella grinned by the way she acted. The beautiful smell of food made them restless to wait and when

they arrived near they grabbed their food tight and targeted to their seat.

Zella, Percy and Eli sat nearby a longue.

" This is for VIP's" Eli whispered.

" Let it be" Percy said.

And while eating Zella noticed someone watching her. After that incidence in class she never thought

he will notice her or even give a glance. 'I thought he didnt like me and I'm not his type' she said to

herself.

He looked at her with his silver lightning dark black eyes.

When their eyes are locked she thought that his gaze will swallow her up completely. His eyes were

assessing her completely. She could barely breathe any air. She forcefully looked away and found

something strange in him. She whispered in a low voice such a way that others couldnt hear her 'Lance

looks more handsome than before'.

He was still gaping, she took a bite of her sandwich and he was still staring and gave a great sigh as if

he lost something. Suddenly his glare turned to a vicious look and his iris changed from black to red.

Without even a second he got up from his seat and he shoot off that place.

She couldn't find him. He is gone, she sighed.

After having their food the three of them said good bye and left the canteen. Zella rushed into professor

Williams room and got her assignment. While coming back from professors room she saw Lance, she

gave him a smile but he didn't respond.

She rolled her eyes and mumbled

'what is wrong with this guy? Sometimes he stares othertimes he would just avoid me.'

After everything she was waiting for Zad to go home. She got bored waiting for her brother. She went

through the newspaper kept in the newspaper stand.

The headline made her face pale.

'A 17 year girl found pale and dead'

She felt anxious to read the whole content.

A 17 year old girl, identified as Teena S. Charles found dead near the forest. Doctors claimed that her

blood was completely drained out from her body. Police is investigating the mysterious death. Police

says that there might be some connections with the deaths of other teenagers.

Zella's face became pale and she started sweating. Her heart pounds heavy. Some kind of fear struck

on her face. Her necklace started glowing it became red at once from blue.

"Zella" Zad called her out.

"Your necklace." He pointed at her necklace. It was same as old.

"What?" Zella cocked her brow.

"I felt like it was red in color." Zad scratched his head.

"How can it be possible?" She smirked.

"How was your day?"

"Awesome" He replied, "yours?"

"Okay..."

And both of them shared their day while their way to home.

She told him "I must ask Eli's and Percy's help for my assignment."

He with so much of excitement told "I already gave them mine" he laughed " Did you mean Percy

Gillest "

"Yes, you know him?"

"Obviously, he is very famous, and how did he became your friend?"

"Well...I don't know. I fell into him"

" Sissssyyyy... on your first day and to that famous guy?" His eyes widened.

"Its not that kind of fall, i literally fell and he caught me." She bit her lips.

"Oh poor sis." He started laughing holding his stomach.

'How come he can make so many friends within a day and how does he knows everything about the

school' she sighed.

While walking to their home they came across the dark forest. Zella's birth mark was again burning.

"Ouch.. it started to pain again" © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Zad growled "what?"

"My birth mark" her eyes widened, "did you see that?" She pointed to the dark forest. The news started

to wander in her thoughts. She started shivering and sweating. Something was moving in that forest.

They both saw two glowing red eyes.

"It must be some wolves..." he rushed "let's walk quickly."
