Her Soul and His Blood

Chapter 13: 13. Unveiled

" Zella" A scream heard from behind. It was Merlin shouting from the house.

" Zella, come lets go inside."She took her hand and walked inside and then she turned back and stared

at him by putting her fangs out.

" sister, you took her from me today,but she will be mine always."he shouted to Merlin.

Merlin crossed her bows. Took Zella inside.

Zella looked confused and she asked.

" why did you take me inside? Why is Lance still outside? He must be hurt because of this. What

happened?"

" well, I wanted to show you something". and she took her to a big hall with so much of paintings.

Zella was going through those paintings.

Suddenly Lance came into the room " you both are here. I was searching for you everywhere."

Zella watched him surprisingly from head to toe.

He gave a curved smile.

" well then both of you can enjoy. Im going to sleep. Good night Zella" said Merlin.

" good night." And she told to herself, " she is ridiculous. She is acting weird. She took me away from

Lance and now she is letting me stay with him" Zella rolled her eyes.

Lance rubbed her soft hands and smiled at her. He hold her closer to him and asked.

" Are you scared my dear?"

" a little bit but not when you are with me" she smiled at him.Their eyes where looking each others. She

felt protected in his hand. He locked her in his arms such that nobody could steal her from him.

"Are you playing fancy dress"She asked humorously. Then with concern Zella asked Lance. " Did

Merlin hurt you and why did you change your dress?"

Lance answered like a dumb " what?"

She repeats " did she hurt you when she brought me inside, early when we were talking outside.And

that dress suits you best."

" what?" His eyes widened " you went near him?"

" him?"

" no! I mean me.. uhh.. I mean you came to me. I just forgot and what else happened. Just some sort of

stress. I forgot what happened. Can u explain me about it" his voice was shivering.

" well when I came to you, you said that you are waiting for me." She punched his stomach and said "

you were very romantic when you was outside, not the shy type. You hugged me very tightly, it was

very.." she laughed. "the way you rubbed my face gave me tinkling..." she hid her face on his chest.

Lance clenched his fist. He shook his head has nothing had happened.

He told his self ' how dare he is,I wont leave him.he will pay for this.'

With a sharp voice he asked " And then?"

" then what, Merlin took me inside. I think you were angry at her, were you? And now you act like you

don't know anything that had happened."

Lance hugged her and kissed in her forehead

" no darling. Nobody can hurt you when I'm alive."

She hugged him back tight.

" but nobody did. What is wrong Lance."

Lance held her face in his arms and said " I will do anything for you. I love you so much. Like the star

loves the sky, fishes loves the sea, sand loves the desert. I will be nothing without you." he hugged her

tight leaned towards her and asked " Do you love me?"

She watched his eyes, their eyes are locked, she smiled at him and her lips locked his. She kissed him

and lost into a different world , drawing themselves together as one body and one soul. They are

onestep forward than what they were. They became more closer than they think. There came a bond

between them which nobody can separate.

She rubbed his hair with her fingers. His hand run on the back of her up to her waist. He pulled her

more closer to him.He kissed her lower lip and he apart her lips and was asking for the permission. She

let his tongue run through her mouth. She kissed him back, smoothly and was moaning with pleasure.

They both gasped for breathe and smiling at each other. They both spend a lot of time each other

smiling and laughing. They held their hands tight and whispered to each other that I love You.

Lance took Zella to her room. He greeted her good night and she greeted him back. They both were

staring at each other. Zella went back to the bed.She recalled all the beautiful moments happened few

minutes before and pulled herself close to the blanket. She closed her eyes and falls deep into sleep.

Few hours passes by but She suddenly wake up from her deep sleep due to some movement near her

leg. She opens her eyes to see a figure standing near to her. She rubbed her eyes, she figured out that

it was Lance.

He was staring at her with anger. He noticed that her necklace is not on her neck. He approached her.

Came closer and closer to her.

" Lance, why are you here at late night. Is everything ok?"

That person laughed like she said some joke. His eyes were red like a blood.

" I came for you my dear, because I couldn't complete what I was up-to due to some interruption. " he

said in a mysterious voice.

He came even more closer to her. Zella got scared by his unnatural behavior. He could see her fear in

her eyes.

"Lance, your eyes, it turned red."she said in a shivering voice.

He smirked. He came closer and hold her neck tight. He attacked her. She tried to take his hand from

her but it was a failure.

This was the same vision,which she saw, when she touched Lance, when she was admitted in the

hospital many months back.

" Lance, leave me. What are you doing. You are going to kill me. Leave me". She screamed.

He laughed viciously and Zella was shocked to see his beautiful fangs coming out of his mouth.

She screamed " what the hell"

He made herself go as back as possible but he caught her tight. He put his fang closer to her neck and

pricked her neck. Zella screamed very high. He sucked her blood out of her body. Everything seemed

to become blank and black for a second. She is not able to react. She struggled and her legs were

hitting the bed hard.Her legs stopped moving, her struggles became less often, her visions faded and

there was no movement.

She opened her eyes to see everyone surrounding her.Merlin came closer to her and asked

" what happened Zella?"

She looked pale. She scanned her room. Her blanket is in the same way how it was before. She got

confused. She was breathing high. She controlled herself.

" I think, I saw a nightmare. A very bad one." She said.

" oh dear, don't worry. Its just a dream. Sleep well." Said Mrs Peterson.

They left the room except Lance. He sat near Zella.

" Are you alright?" He asked

She nodded her head. " it was a bad dream. The same one which I saw in the hospital when I touched

you."

She was sweating in that cold. He noticed that she don't have her necklace in her neck and she was

pale.

" where is your necklace?"

" its in the cup board."

" please Zella, never ever remove it. Don't you remember what your grandmother told you.Now

promise me that you will never remove it."

His words showed his worry for her.

She got surprised to hear it from him. She nodded her head and said

"Yes"

He took her necklace from the cup board and gave it to her. She feels some kind of pain and burning

sensation in her birthmark. He gets worried seeing her suffering from the pain.Then she feels like her

pain gets radiated to her neck.

" what happened Zella?" Lance enquired.

She rubs her neck with pain. He tries to see what happened but finds depression of two sharp canines.

He gets angry after seeing this. And tells to himself " I wont leave him."

Even Zella finds some kind of bite-mark on her neck and get scared about the nightmare what she saw.

Lance gave her some kind of juice to drink.

"Zella, drink this. This will help you." He said by passing the glass to her.

She took the glass and drank it with bit difficulty.

"Lance,I don't know why do I have this strange feeling. I feel like there is some kind of danger. Some

kind of evil.I feel like Im being followed by someone."

"Zella, just don't worry too much. Whatever happens to you have to cross me first." He gave her a

reassuring smile.

Actually it wasn't a nightmare. It was Hance who came to Zella and suck her blood. He has an ability to

convert someones conscious mind into subconscious that is to make them think reality is a dream.

Lance came to know that this is Hance who did this to Zella. The vision comes true, but it was not

Lance, it was Hance.

That day Lance slept on a sofa in that room.

Next day early morning, after breakfast Lance is up-to drop Zella to her house. Zella found something

weird during breakfast. Mrs.Peterson served a kind of red juice to everyone including Lance except her.

She asked Lance " what is that ?"

He said " its a ritual wine. Only we are supposed to drink it. Sorry"

Zella smiled at this answer.

She thought to herself " Ritual wine... weird.... what kind of family is it ? They are hiding something."

Lance drops her back home. The days goes as usual. One day Lance and Zella went out.

Zella met Eli and Percy on way and were talking to them. Lance went somewhere from there. Zella still

continued talking to them. She didn't find Lance coming back after a quite time. Eli and Percy walked

away and Zella came in search of Lance. She came through a small lane.

Her eyes widened, her face became pale, she started shivering,she was gasping for a moment. She

was in a shock to see her boy friend in a condition she thought never exist except in her dream. Tears

flowed from her eyes. She saw Lance putting his fangs into the neck of a guy and sucking his blood

out.

She screamed " LANCE...."
