EVA'S POV
“ When will you understand, Eva!” Emily roared, too loud even for a vampires’ ears. I closed my ears involuntarily and looked up at her wondering why she was behaving like a furious Grizzly Bear.
I looked around my littered room, paintbrushes, watercolors, Acrylics were strewn across the room. From the day I had arrived at El Frosta, I rarely went out. I kept myself busy painting various memories. How did I offend Emily if I never even went out?
EVA'S POVI went into my room and wore gloves. Then I took out the bottle of oil that I always kept in the locker. I added the whole bottle of oil into the bottle labeled ‘ Red Wine’ in the cabinet. “ Pour a glass for me too,” Emily said from behind me. My heart came into my mouth. I slid the bottle of oil into my pocket. With shaking hands, I poured the liquid into three glasses. Thankfully she didn’t notice anything. Handing one glass to Emily, I walked towards Eric and handed him the other glass. I sat on th
ALEX'S POVI took a cab to my bakery. I felt so proud seeing Melisa and Ryan hard at work.“ Sir, Why are you here? Weren’t you supposed to be at the exhibition? Is there a problem.” Ryan asked in a single breath, his sincerity ringing through his words.
ALEX'S POVI woke up early the next morning and got ready in record time. Susie had sent a message stating that she was crashing at Philip’s place. Since I was left to my own devices, I would grab something on the way. I went to the library near the market first.
EVA'S POVI spent the whole night listening to everyone around. When I heard Philip insult Alex I almost went there to defend him. I don’t know how I managed to resist. The sounds of the wolves and the subtle hints of the presence of Praishe had me in knots. Early in the morning, I busied myself in performing The Shield Ritual, securing the area around The Amor Lake. I wondered how Eric and Emily were? I felt a sudden urge to call them but I decided against it. Calling them could be dangerous for them and me too.
ALEX'S POV“ Sir! Sir! Are you alright? Why are you sleeping on the floor?” Athena’s anxious voice broke through my peaceful slumber. I rubbed my eyes and opened them. Oh yes, I had slept in my bakery last night.
ALEX'S POVI ran into Mr. Lawrence, our principal on my way to my room. “ Alex, I have bad news.” He said in a glum tone.My heart skipped a beat and I looked up at him.
EVA'S POVI started panicking when Eric and Emily didn’t regain consciousness even by morning. I had to call somebody to help me. But, whom could I call?The only one capable of helping me was Mr. Wangchuk. I was not sure I trusted him completely. I didn’t want him to know about my secret cave. So, I went to Dixonville and performed the shield ritual. I took out another car from the
ALEX'S POVI was stuck in a tunnel of darkness. The more I tried to get out, the more entangled I got. I didn’t want to get lost. Something was waiting at the end of the tunnel. I couldn’t remember what it was but I was sure it’s something I loved. I staggered with the strain of moving towards that light. I was about to give in to the darkness when I heard a loud crash, causing my eyes to snap open.
EVA'S POVI felt that being in Alex’s arms in front of our mini Amor lake was the best thing that could happen in my life but I was wrong. There would be many more magical moments like this in my life.Alex took out a red ribbon and blindfolded me suddenly.“ Hey! What are you doing.” I muttered in protest.
ALEX'S POVEva stuck to me the whole day like a koala. I found it very cute, but it was impertinent that I got out of here, else my surprise would be ruined. I wanted everything to be perfect.Finally, I had to message Melisa to come and get me out of Susie’s house. The moment Melisa and Athena arrived I sneaked out bef
EVA'S POVMy head throbbed like hell as I tried to open my eyes. The bright sunlight streaming in from the window caused me to flinch. I shielded my eyes with my hand. Someone drew the curtains and turned the lights on. I rubbed my eyes and tried to open them again. When I finally managed to open my eyes I was pleasantly surprised to see Alex. The joy I felt was so intense that it hurt. I open
ALEX'S POVI was so happy today. The lake and the garden had turned out exactly as I had planned. I sat on the swing admiring its beauty for a while. My body ached like I had been beaten with a rod. I stretched myself in an attempt to get some relief from some pain. From the past seven days, I had worked from dawn to dusk to complete the work. Though I missed Eva a lot,
EVA'S POVI paced in my room all day but Alex didn’t return. I must have called him at least a hundred times but he didn’t pick up my call. I was on the verge of a breakdown when Susie came to check on me.I can’t describe how light I felt after rambling everything to her. “ What should I do Susie? I just wanted to make everything right&n
ALEX'S POVI drove Susie’s car straight to Aaron’s house. Sweat trickled down my forehead and my hands trembled slightly as I rang the bell. Alice opened the door and let me in. Her face bore a pained expression and her eyes were baggy due to crying. I wondered what Mrs. Lockhart’s condition might be. “ Alex, my dear, long time no see. Didn’t you miss Aunt Linda?” She asked getting up to welcome me. Surprisingly, she looked perfectly normal. Had Aaron managed to stop Eva before she told Aunt Linda?
EVA'S POVThe rays of the sun shone brightly on my face making it difficult to sleep any further. I stretched my hands and a yawn escaped my mouth. I could get used to this. I wish I could sleep while I was a vampire. The 500 years of my existence wouldn’t have seemed so daunting then. After a quick shower I looked around Susie’s house but there was no one. Just then a delicious ar
ALEX'S POVI felt my heart sink when Eva said that she wished to go to Dixonville. I wanted to tell her the truth about Eric and Emily but how could I tell her that the ones who had been her guardian for 500 years had betrayed her. She would feel so heartbroken at that news. So, I followed her quietly fully expecting to be ambushed any minute but it never happened.
EVA'S POVThe cool shower of water pulled me out of the oblivion I was in. I opened my eyes wondering if I was in some other world. I had never heard Vampires talk about afterlife. When the haze before my eyes cleared I could see Susie standing before me. Was she dead too? She helped me sit up and made me drink some water. It tasted sweet and refreshing. If I knew water was so reviving I would have drunk pretty decent quantities of water in my existence.
