MATED TO A VAMPIRE - EPISODE 19

ZAMIEL’S MANSION

“What do you mean by the kingdom is in trouble”, Zamiel asked worriedly.

“His Lord, your father, was killed this morning by some unknown force and now the kingdom is in chaos”, Caulder reported.

“What”, Zamiel shouted and stood up from his seat abruptly making Caulder to move back subconsciously.

I was just looking at Zamiel, I felt pity for him. I know what it feels like to loose your dad.

His own is even better, I woke up one day only to find out that my dad is gone. He left my mum and my brother without a word and now he is happy with another woman.

I knew I had to be strong in order to console him.

I stood up and walked to where Zamiel was and hugged him.

“You can go”, I told Caulder and he left.

“Why did he have to die now”, Zamiel cried. It was the first time I will ever see him cry.

“Shhh, it’s okay. Everything will be fine okay”, I hushed him.

“Just let it out. That’s it let it out”, I whispered to him and he started weeping profusely.

I felt something wet on my shoulder and I knew it was his tears. It was a painful moment, I wanted to breakdown but I knew I had to stay strong for his sake.

Some minutes later, he disengaged from the hug and looked at me. His eyes were looking at me with love and passion. I also started back at him and before I knew what was happening, he was standing very close to me.

And without breaking the eye contact, he breached the space between us and kissed me.

I was shocked at first but later on I found my self closing my eyes and responding to the kiss.

The kiss held so much passion, love and a little bit of hunger. The kiss lasted for a while before he broke it.

I looked down, feeling shy after what happened.

“I’m sorry for doing that without your permission”, he apologized sadly and I felt bad because I enjoyed the kiss so much.

“I actually liked it”, I said fondling with my fingers and looking at the ground.

“Really”, he asked raising my chin, making me to stare at his eyes. I nodded to his question.

He kissed me again but this time, it was a short one. He was smiling but it later turned to a frown and I furrowed my brows in confusion.

“What is it”, I asked him. I felt his gaze on me and I traced his eyes to what they were looking at. I found out he was staring at the wet part of my shirt.

“Don’t worry about that, it’s okay”, I said

“I’m sorry for being such a cry baby. It’s just that I felt it was so sudden. My father didn’t look sick before he left, I wonder what happened”, he said.

He looked as if he finally remembered something with the way his facial expression changed and he clenched his fists tightly.

“Melaine”, he muttered inaudibly.

“What’s wrong, why the sudden change of face”, I asked and he immediately smiled quickly to cover up.

“Don’t worry, it’s nothing”, he said.

“Okay, if you say so. Yunno, I was just wondering how Viona will take this news”, I said.

“Yeah, she’s definitely gonna cry her eyes out because she loves dad more than anything”, Zamiel said.

“I think you should be the one to break the news to her”, I suggested and Zamiel agreed.

LATER IN THE NIGHT

“Viona, your brother has something to tell you”, I spoke up.

“Brother what is that”, she asked looking at Zamiel.

“I don’t know how you will take this but father is dead. He died this morning”, he finally broke the news.

“You must be joking right”, Viona laughed.

I know it will be hard for her to accept it but the earlier she does, the better for her. I moved to sit near her to console her.

“Yes, it’s true. Your father was killed by some unknown force this morning”, I said to her.

“Noooo, it can’t be”, she screamed loudly.

I hugged Viona tightly to keep her sane but it wasn’t working.

“He was fine when I left him, who could have done this”, she asked.

“I don’t know”, Zamiel said.

“I don’t believe this. I don’t believe anyone of you. I’m going back to the kingdom now”, Viona said and stood up to leave.

“Don’t leave this night, it is not safe. We are leaving this place tomorrow at first light”, Zamiel said to Viona and she nodded.

“What of me”, I asked out of the blue

” It’s your choice if you want to come with us and I’m afraid I might never come back. So think about it, I really don’t want to force you”, Zamiel said and left.

“Do I really want to follow them. I can’t do without Zamiel, although I don’t know why but I’m always happy when I’m with him. And what of my family, how will they react. Anyways, my mum doesn’t even care about me. That means I will go with Zamiel”, I thought to myself.

I went to Zamiel’s room and knocked.

“Come in”, I heard his thick voice say and I opened the door.

“What is your final decision”, Zamiel asked unsure of what she will say.

“I have decided to come with you”, I said

“Really, you don’t know how happy I am to hear this. I thought you will not agree”, Zamiel said happily and came to hug me tightly.

“Thank you”, he whispered into my ears and bit my earlobes softly, making me to shiver.

He disengaged from the hug. “Go and pack your bags and sleep early. We are leaving very early in the morning”, he said.

“Okay, good night”, I said and turned to leave but I was stopped by a grip on my wrist.

I turned back and looked at Zamiel with a questioning eyes.

He walked to where I was standing and kissed my forehead and said “goodnight”.

I blushed at this single act he just did. I smiled and ran back to my room.

“So cute”, Zamiel said smiling.

OSIRIS’S MANSION

“I have decided to confront Osiris today and ask him why he is doing this”, Kim thought to herself.

“I will wait for him to come back and ask him. I just pray I won’t sleep off”, I said to my self.

Night came and I decided to execute my plan. I pretended to be sleeping. Not long, I heard footsteps and I took a peek and saw it was Osiris.

He came close to me and kissed my forehead and left.

“I wasn’t sure why he did that. Is this what he does everytime when I’m sleeping”, I thought.

I remembered my plan and stood up to go and confront him.

I got to the bar because that is where he spends most of the time.

“Hey”, I said nervously and when he turned to look at me, I could see that he was shocked to meet me but he quickly replaced it with a weak smile.

“What are you looking for here. I thought you were fast asleep”, he asked and turned to look at another side.

“Well, I just wanted to know the reason for your behavior towards me recently”, I asked.

“It’s already late, go back to sleep”, he said without looking at me.

“Answer my question first”, I said.

“You really want to know why huh”, he asked.

“Yes”, I insisted.

“You want to know why my behavior towards you changed. It’s just because I don’t want to hurt any of us, so it’s better we just remain like this”, he said and left.

I wanted to say something but I could not. I knew that what he said was true. I guess things will be like this from now on and I have to get used to it.

ZAMIEL’S MANSION

“Are you ready”, Zamiel asked me and I nodded.

Caulder has already taken all our luggages to the boot of the car.

Viona and Caulder will go in one car while I and Zamiel will go in another car.

Caulder’s car took the lead while Zamiel’s own was the last.

Everything was going on smoothly. Zamiel kept in sneaking glances at me and anytime I catch him, he will pretend like nothing happened.

He turned to look at me again and this time I caught him. But something else caught my attention, I saw something strange flying in the sky and it looked like it was heading for our direction.

“Uh oh, this doesn’t look good”, I said to myself and called Zamiel’s attention to it and before he could dodge it, it fell on the car.

“Shit”, Zamiel cursed.
