Chapter 25: House on Fire.
Aphmau POV
I woke up in the morning with a heavy concussion. My head was burning, how drunk was I last night? because my head is killing me. After my grunting session I realised my mistake as I immediately stood up. Did I reveal anything? Hopefully my stupid mouth was dumb enough to speak, I wonder how I was behaving?
All this thinking was making my head hurt even more, and the worst part about it is that I have school today. I had a quick shower and got ready, besides the headache I felt, it was like a heavy weight has been lifted up from my shoulders, I don't know what it was, but it just somehow makes me feel less guilty in a way, I don't know why I'm feeling guilty, but I feel like I should be for some reason.
I had an Advil to lessen the killing spree that's going on in my head. My mind was all over the place, I felt worried, anxious, happy and all sorts of other emotions that are jumbled up all over the place. I made my way to school, today everyone was waiting for me, as soon as I entered the school they all surrounded me like I committed a crime. I looked at them weirdly before walking around my weird friends and made my way to class.
So lunch time came and this time I decided to eat outside near the blossom tree with Teony and Molly. Right now they seemed like the only ones who weren't annoying the heck out of me, like during the classes I had either with the guys or the girls, they'll just attack me we questions that I didn't bother answering.
While I was taking a bite out of my sandwich I noticed the sun was replaced with shade, and it wasn't the clouds, but it was non other than Laurance and his little squad of bloodsucking minions as well as his little clingy girlfriend and my friends.
I groaned in frustration while Teony and Molly seemed happy as they were here, they even offered them to sit with us which they gladly excepted. Since they were here I might as well ask them a few questions myself.
"Um, did I do anything reckless or silly when I was drunk last night?" I asked, inwardly wincing waiting for the outcome, they all gave each other stern looks.
"No, not really. But I've been dying to know where you've been during this past year." Zane said emphasising on the word dying.
"Oh my god Zane! I just had a random feeling about dying! I wonder how dying is like, maybe we should do so some sort of ritual to snap my neck without any pain. But then again I can just come back to life magically!" Kawaii Chan exaggerated while everyone gave her a glare.
"What? I didn't say anything about her spilling her secrets about dying and coming back to life for some weird ritual thingy." No, no, no, no, no.
"I uh, need the bathroom!" I quickly stood up and ran back inside the schools building towards the front.
When nobody was looking I quickly climbed over the schools gate and ran away. I walked quietly down the pavement. I know walking down the pavement is not safe by myself, considering my past experiences, but I think I'll be able to protect myself from those damn lost wolves. When the whole 'resurrecting Aaron's great grandfather' thing is over, I plan to look in more about my powers and the lost wolves, as well as witches. I know a very few things about supernatural, but I think I have a very healthy storage of knowledge about vampires, considering the fact that I have vampire friends and I was living with two friendly vampires for about a whole year.
When I wasn't concentrating on my whereabouts, Laurance came out of nowhere and gripped my hand tightly making sure I don't escape, before I can release myself Laurance used his speed making our way to his mansion sized house, which I haven't seen in ages. Using his speed again, he dragged me inside into the living room and sat me on a chair and tied me up. Wow, I have such great friends.
I looked around the living room that still had the same piano and the same fireplace that was burning fire to keep the room warm, Everyone surrounded me ready to fire questions.
"Is this really necessary?" I referred to the rope and the chair in front of the fireplace.
"It's obvious that you'll try to escape our questions, so we tied you up. Now you have no chance of escaping and you'll have to answer our questions. I'm not leaving here without an explanation." Laurance said seriously making me look down in defeat.
"Then what are you waiting for? Shoot away." I sighed keeping my head down.
"What happened on the day that you were kidnapped?" Garroth was the first one to ask me a question. I knew this was going to be the first shot.
"After you got attacked with the vervain laced darts, Aaron took me to the living room in the mansion where he explained why he kidnapped me." I didn't say the part where a crazy bitch nearly killed me, because that was a bit overly dramatic.
"Why did he kidnap you." Laurance added as I took a deep breath hesitating a bit. I paused while figuring out the shortest way of explaining everything.
"As a sacrifice to resurrect his great, great grandfather from the dead." They all looked at me confused.
"Why would he kidnap you as a sacrifice to resurrect his grandfather?" Zoey spoke in her quiet voice, I just couldn't make this work I have to explain everything.
"My great grandmother, she was a powerful witch who casted a spell on Aaron's great, grandfather, Shad. And froze him in time. He is now resting in a coffin waiting to come back alive. Since I have my grandmothers blood running through my very veins, I have to do some ritual thing to bring Shad back to life." Laurance and Cadenza seemed to be the ones who looked the most shocked.
"But before that, a part of the ritual was I had to die and become a half vampire in order for my pow- for the whole thing to work. Aaron's brother; Jason, fed me blood, snapped my neck, then chained me up so I wouldn't be able to get a hold of blood. A few months later Aaron fed me some potion turning me back to normal. After my eighteenth birthday which was just a few days ago, my pow- the ritual, was activated and Aaron's father is currently searching for me. I've heard that he had been in Phoenix Drop for a few days but left, so for now I'm safe." I ran out of breath as I spoke so much.
Laurance suddenly crouched down in front of me lifting my chin up, he grabbed my hand staring deeply into my eyes with his beautiful, blue eyes that I've missed so much.
"Why didn't you call me?" He spoke in a soft voice, everyone else smirked while Lillian was sending death glares that just can rip me to shreds, she looked ready to pounce any second.
I stayed quiet moving my eyes looking anywhere else but him.
"Look at me." He whispered demandingly making me snap my eyes towards his, he was so close to me that I just could kiss his luscious lips. But it was wrong, I could never steal Laurance away from Lillian, it wasn't right.
Just as Laurance was about to say something, the fire from the fireplace suddenly escaped and dragged onto the carpet, I hopelessly panicked as I tried pulling the ropes of my hands and legs, everyone else looked like they were being forcefully dragged out by the fin air, Laurance tried to fight the invisible force to try rescuing me, but Lillian pulled him back as she ran out not before sending me an evil smirk.
Everyone was outside while I was burning in the hot flames, the ceiling started to fall of and the fire spread around me and upstairs. As I was about to think this was going to be the death of me, I creased my eyebrows and snapped my eyes open. The fire was around me, but not touching me or harming me in anyway. The burning heat from before reduced as I went back to my normal temperature.
Is this part of my powers? I started to become more confident in the conflagration that was destroying everything but me, it was even setting the chair on fire but it didn't burn me. I looked at the ropes, and as on signal it burst into dust, exploding like fireworks. I was free.
And you tell could tell by her evil smirk that Lillian is a witch.
That psychotic chick tried to kill me!
/\/\/\
I'm sure you probably knew that Lillian was up to no good. And just a reminder there is going to be swearing and other scenes in this book.😊
