Next morning I cried all night but the pain didn't go away. Memories of a day spent with Jonathan were spinning around in my head like a movie, like a beautiful dream. I wished I could have it back. For the first time in my life, I was overjoyed, and for the first time in my life, I felt like my life could be normal. "No, I'm not going to cry anymore. God wants to break me, but I will prove to him that I am strong, yes." I stood up, wiped away my tears, and stared straight ahead in determination, knowing deep down that it was not going to be easy.Then, I dashed to the washroom. I stood in front of the mirror, my gaze fixed on my own face. 'Yesterday, my face was glowing, but today it is pale, my eyes have swollen and turned red from constant crying, and my hair is a disaster.' Fresh tears began to trickle down my cheeks mechanically as I touched my dry lips and remembered our kisses, which were so pure and filled with love. It was excruciatingly painful for me.‘No, I won't cry.
Because I needed relief, I marched straight to my room and began flinging stuff on the floor. I was enraged, heartbroken, worn out, disappointed, and appalled. "Ahaha.." I was howling in pain and messing up my room, but the ache in my heart was not going away. I was yearning for relief."Mia, can you tell me what happened?" When I was about to knock the vase off the mirror, Mom grabbed hold of me from behind and stopped me. I let go of the vase, which dropped to the ground and broke into pieces just like my heart. As I began crying loudly, burying my face in Mom’s chest, and clutching her dress, she embraced me securely."Mom, why is he doing this to me? What is my fault? Why is he causing me anguish over and over again? Why can't I stop loving him? Why, Mom?" After learning the truth from the person I met in my car a few minutes ago, I asked my mother whatever questions were going into my mind.Flashback (a few minutes ago)I was driving to college as usual, but when someone came in
I stared at James in shock and bewilderment as he continued to tell me about Jonathan. "He isn't even explaining to me why he lied to you, but he genuinely loves you, Mia. He has been living like a dead soul for the past two months. He needs you, and Mia, only you can help him.” 'How come I didn't think of Jonathan? I was so self-centred that I blamed and despised him for abandoning me and lying to me. I never tried to contact him or ask him why he abandoned me.' I closed my eyes and mentally chastised myself because my love was suffering more than I was, and it was all my fault."James, I need to talk to him. Please take me to him.” I was dying to meet Jonathan, so I frantically begged James. I hadn't seen him in two months. For me, living without him was like living without a heart.My desire to meet him grew, even more, stronger after knowing that he needed me. “Okay, let’s go.” As he nodded, we walked out of the college. 'What possibly be the reason he is causing both of us to
My neck was still hurting like hell when I regained consciousness, but it was better than before. "Aaa..." I cried out in extreme pain, holding my neck as I tried to get up.‘Why did he bite me? Why was he behaving like a monster again?’ As I wondered, tears began to well in my eyes. I always felt excruciating pain in my heart when he behaved like that with me. "Thank god you woke up. How are you feeling now?" As I heard James's concerned voice, I realised he was also in the room with me. With the blink of my eyes, he reached up to my bed from the couch."How am I feeling? Don't you know what my condition is? I'm like a crazy person, running after Jonathan for six months and he-“ I sobbed and continued, “He’s running away from me. He's not even sharing anything with me, instead lying to me all the time, and he almost killed me today. I could have died from pain, but he didn't worry about me, and he did all of this just because he wanted me to leave him." I wept in front of James beca
Flashback Over "Mia, we will do something to fix his problem, but before we can do that, we need to know what is going on with Jonathan. Please, for some time, stay away from him. You have already seen how dangerous he has become. Even in his dreams, he doesn't want to hurt you because he loves you, Mia. The day he accepted you, he was brimming with joy, but only that day he began to struggle with this issue, and once more he had to part ways with you."I became numb after listening to James’s words. I had been blaming him for a month, because I was unaware that he would be experiencing worse pain than I was. As I dejectedly closed my eyes, fresh tears rolled down my cheeks.‘Today I learned that living a vampire's life is harder and more painful than living a human life.’"I can stay away from him, but, I want to meet him for the last time, James. Please take me to him for the last time." As I implored, he freaked out."Are you out of your mind, Mia? Didn't you see what Jonathan di
"Mia, don't panic. Don’t be afraid. You just have to be strong and face her with full confidence." I encouraged myself. I responded to her grin by curling up my lips into a slight smile, flinging all of my fears to the side. She rose from the bed and wandered towards me. ‘Why did she transform herself into my mom?’ I was just wondering about this."From now on, Mia, you will obey my every command without question." She gave me instructions while her unblinking gaze was fixed on mine. I quickly understood that she was attempting to hypnotise me because I had heard about vampires, who can also control people by hypnotising them.However, for some unknown reason, she was unable to hypnotise me. I was perplexed."Yes, I will obey your every command." I feigned to be hypnotised by her because I was curious about what she had in her mind for me.Then, in the blink of an eye, she transformed into a lovely young lady. She looked gorgeous in a black outfit, with long hair, a lovely face,
I shoved Katrina, and she landed far away from me, hitting a tree. My eyes widened in amazement, and I stared at my hands, baffled. "What just happened?" I murmured, staring at Katrina, astonished and perplexed.She stood up and vanished in a jiffy. I also noticed that the wound on my neck had healed as if no one had bitten me. What was happening to me shook me to my core. "Have I turned into a vampire?" Incredulously, I questioned myself. "If I turned into a vampire, that would be good because I can live with Jonathan and he can't hurt me. I should contact James." I was intrigued and right away texted James.Me: Meet me at my place. I was relieved, assuming that I had turned into a vampire, but I wasn't sure because I wasn't feeling any thirst for human blood and also didn't notice any changes within myself; I was bewildered. I drove back to my home at about four in the morning. I was experiencing an inner sense of joy, vigour, and energy. When I entered the room, I saw James s
In the blink of my eyes, the entire room caught fire. My breath got laboured and I was extremely afraid. There was no escape. I began to cough violently. "My time has come to die." I wondered, staring at the fire with horror, and then, in the next instant, the fire vanished completely. For me, it seemed as though some sort of magic had taken place right before my eyes. I was perplexed.Then only Nora entered the room, and my stunned gaze was drawn to her."You must be wondering how this fire vanished." I nodded at her as she walked closer to me and questioned, my brows furrowed in perplexity. I couldn't understand why she didn't appear shocked. "The time has finally come for me to tell you the truth." Nora signed and spoke in a solemn tone.‘Now, which truth is she referring to? God! I can’t take it more.’ "What truth, Nora? I am not getting it." I asked and eagerly awaited her response.My life had turned into a thrilling movie. "I am a witch with special abilities, Mia." My eye
I awoke the next morning, my body still entwined with Jonathan’s. I felt a sense of peace and relief because Katrina was gone, her terror was finally extinguished.The morning sunlight gently filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow in the room as I watched Jonathan slowly stir awake. His eyes fluttered open, and he blinked a few times, adjusting to the light. He looked at me with a sleepy smile.“Good morning, my love.” He greeted, his voice laced with affection.“Good morning, Jonathan.” I replied, returning his smile, and my heart raced with anticipation. I knew I had to tell him the truth, to share the news that would bring both relief and anger. Taking a deep breath, I mustered the courage to speak the words I had been longing to say.“I have something important to tell you.” I began, my voice is slightly shaky.Jonathan’s brows furrowed, concern etching his features. “What is it, Mia? You look serious.”I took a moment to compose myself before continuing. “Last night,
“Katrina and Mia’s bodies are fused, causing Mia to experience the same pain that Katrina is enduring after consuming the poison. A witch cast this spell to bind their bodies, making it impossible for us to kill Katrina.” Jonathan revealed, leaving Nora and me stunned. We could hear Katrina’s screams, which was bringing a sense of satisfaction to me.“Nora, can you break the spell? Can you separate them?” He inquired, his tone laced with worry.“I can, Jonathan, but time is running out. Katrina could die at any moment because of the poison, and Mia’s life is also in jeopardy as their bodies are connected.” Nora answered, and I gripped my shirt tightly, tears streaming down my face as I struggled with intense pain, my eyes shut and lips pursed. The agony was overwhelming.“What should we do, Nora? Please, tell me something.” He pleaded, his desperation palpable as he feared for the life of his Angel.“Jona-Jonathan, I’m Pari. I won’t die.” I spoke, my voice trembling.“But I can’t bear
The following day, I visited James's house without informing Jonathan. We sat in the living room."James, I have devised a plan to take down Katrina.” I informed him."What?" He inquired, and I proceeded to explain the plan to him."Mia, this is risky. Does Jonathan know about this?" He asked, visibly concerned for me.I shook my head. "We can't inform him because he would never allow me to confront Katrina. You know that only I can end her. James, will you assist me?" I implored, looking at him with pleading eyes."It's not right, but we have no other choice. How can I help?" He reluctantly agreed, and a faint smile appeared on my face."All you have to do is freeze Jonathan so he won't stop me from going after Katrina." I began to speak, but before I could continue, we heard Jonathan's shout."Freeze me now, James!" He stormed toward us in fury, glaring at me, and we gaped at him in shock. "And do it permanently!" He added, fixing his gaze on James.I stood up and uttered, "Jonathan
I broke the hug and took a step back, my eyes shining with excitement and a hint of nervousness because it was finally time to tell Mom about my supernatural abilities. I took a deep breath, gathering my thoughts before speaking."Mom, there's something else I need to share with you. It's about my powers." My voice held a mix of anticipation and wonder.My mother's eyes widened in surprise, exchanging a glance with Jonathan, who nodded in support. “What kind of powers, Mia?" She asked, her curiosity piqued.I took a moment to compose myself before continuing. "It's hard to explain, but I can do extraordinary things. I can fly, and move objects with my eyes, and I have incredible strength. I can even break through walls with my bare hands."Her jaw dropped in astonishment.I extended my hand toward a nearby wall, focusing my energy on it. With a surge of power, the wall cracked, leaving visible marks of my strength. She gasped, speechless at the display of my powers."I've been train
We were returning to my home after our training, cherishing the beautiful moments we shared. Being with Jonathan brought me pure bliss. I was sitting beside him in the car. The ecstasy I felt at finally being able to control my powers was beyond words.It was amazing how energetic I felt ever since the day God blessed me with these powers!I decided to share everything with my mother, hoping she might shed some light on my powers.I broke the comfortable silence and turned to Jonathan before expressing my thoughts. “Jonathan, I think it’s time to tell Mom everything.” I said, my voice filled with determination.He glanced at me, his eyes reflecting curiosity. “Why the sudden urge to disclose it all to her?” He inquired before focusing his attention back on the road.“I have a feeling that she might know something about my powers and Pari. Maybe there’s a link to my real father.” I explained, my mind racing with possibilities.“You’re right, we should talk to her about this,” He agree
As evening descended upon the forest, casting a golden hue across the landscape, Jonathan and I stood at the edge of a lake. The water shimmered with the reflections of the setting sun, creating a breathtaking sight.We walked along the shore hand in hand, our footsteps leaving imprints in the soft sand. The cool breeze tousled our hair, adding an ethereal touch to the moment. We were silent, content in each other’s presence, as we let the tranquillity of the surroundings wash over us.In the distance, a magnificent tree stood tall, its branches gracefully swaying in the wind. I felt a sudden pull towards its alluring presence, and I couldn’t resist the urge to get closer. I tugged gently on Jonathan’s hand, urging him to follow.As we approached the tree, we noticed a small wooden swing hanging from one of its branches. It swayed gently, as if inviting us to sit and enjoy its peaceful embrace.Jonathan smiled, sensing my excitement. “Shall we take a moment to bask in the serenity of
The next morning, he was biting my neck and drinking my blood, my hands were pinned against the cold floor. I’m getting immense pleasure because I could be able to fulfil his all desires. Now I’m really blessed to become so powerful.He looked at me, his eyes were shimmering with immense happiness and his lips were drawn to a beatific smile. He moved closer to my face.“The taste of your blood is so delicious, Angel.” As he whispered, his warm breath caressed my face and sent a chill down my spine. “I’m so glad that I can have human blood without the guilt of killing innocent people. Thank you so much, Angel.” A blissful smile touched his lips.As he left my hands, I clasped his face. “You know, I’m happier than you because I can fulfil your desires, Jonathan.”We beamed at each other with immense happiness before hugging each other tightly, smiling contentedly. The days which I was spending with him were precious and I was so grateful to God for giving me these days.The day had been
We were having dinner in the dining room when I turned to Jonathan and said, "Jonathan, I want to ask you something." He immediately looked at me, his eyes focusing on mine. “Say.”"How did you become a vampire?" I asked, and as soon as the words left my mouth, I could see a sense of sadness wash over Jonathan's face. "It's because of Katrina." He said with a pained expression. I realized that his reaction was due to his connection with her. Understanding that the topic was sensitive, I placed my hand over his and gave it a gentle squeeze to reassure him that I was there for him. He blinked back tears and began to speak."She was obsessed with me, and that's why she turned me into a vampire. When I was still human, she fed me her blood, and after my death, I became a vampire like her. She made me into something bad, and I hate her for it, Mia. She takes pleasure in causing me pain, and you have no idea how difficult it was for me to control my bloodlust. She feeds on innocent peopl
“What? Are you serious, Jonathan? We’re going to jump from here?” I exclaimed in shock and disbelief, peering down the cliff. He chuckled, and my brows furrowed as I looked at him, awaiting an explanation.“Don’t tell me you are afraid to jump down the cliff because this isn’t your first time.” As he said, I recalled how many times I had put my life in danger so that he comes to save me.“But those were different circumstances.” I argued, but he continued to chuckle.“Mia, if you’ve forgotten, let me remind you that you’re a pari, and you can fly.” He stated, leaving me astonished at this revelation. I had no idea I possessed the ability to fly, and the thrill of it coursed through me.“Really? I can fly? But how?” I asked, filled with wonder and excitement.“I’ll have to look that up.” He replied, suddenly scooping me up in his arms. “Trust me, I won’t let anything happen to you.” He reassured, his intense gaze meeting mine.“I trust you more than I trust myself.” I whispered, planti
