*Davina*
Inside the club Lefu leads us through the crowd of guests. They part for us, making a path. We walk directly to the stairs, without stopping or talking to anyone.
This is how it works, just like in the Grotto the rumours of the out of this world beautiful royals will quickly spread and people will come in throngs, hoping to catch a glimpse of Lefu or Celine, maybe even of me. The bat is sure to be a success.
When we are upstairs, I go to stand at the railing, looking over the club. It is much bigger and more luxurious than the Grotto. The dance floor is surrounded by greek columns. Ther
*Soleil*"That's it ! I am never gonna learn this. So if I am not to get a melt down we need to stop now". I get out through gritted teeth and exhausted huffs. I have just ended on the ground for only God knows which time after trying to jump. I have done my best and nada is happening". I point to my sweaty and sore body.Gudrun straightens up and looks at Marta who sighs. "Alright then, five minutes break. Then I come with something else for you to do"."What just happened ?" I say, letting Gudrun pull me to my feet."You are fighting, you are doing Your best. Marta knows that and she is just at frustrated that she can't help you over Your barrier". Gudrun answers."Barrier ?""Sol, you have the ability in you. You have to believe. Maybe you just need to focus o
*Soleil*The next couple of days are even worse to get through. Opening up to nature takes so much energy and most days I am asleep before my head hits the pillow and I have no energy to think of anything but training. It takes me forever to answer Davina's messages. I simply don't have much time alone. I only have time to answer when I am in the bathroom or on my way to bed. And the answers I get worries me. Davina's messages are different, so elated and almost sanguine.After asking several times she finally admits to having met a guy. I am truly happy for me, she deserves to be happy. But she won't tell me anything about him or who he is. It makes me sad because we have never had secrets for each other. From now it will all be different. I have to lie about all of this and if she can't tell me about her life either, I feel it will tear us apart.While getting rea
*Soleil*"Sol". My mom calls across the terminal as she runs towards me.The others have driven me to Heathrow airport less than ten minutes ago and I am just making a short stop in the coffee shop before spotting my mom. Now I walk out, trying to put on the appropriate expression. The face slides into an involuntary smile as I get close to my mom. Is she going to look right through me and know Ghana is a lie ? My stomach starts knotting up with fear of being discovered. In my head I go through the lines I have practised, just to be sure; they have to be believable. Siri has told me that Ghana is reality for my mom and if I stick to the story she will never know differently."Oh I missed you so much sweetie". My mom says, hugging me tightly in her arms.All doubt disappears when I hug my mom back. I really have missed her. No matter wh
chapter contains passionate first time sex*Soleil*The next day it is pouring down outside. My mom left early and I got the house to myself. It doesn't bother me to be home alone; then I can just relax and do nothing for once.Despite the rain the air is calm and it feels hot and sticky. After a while I just can't stand it any longer and I decide to open all the windows, trying to air out the house. When I open the window in my mom's room I catch a glimpse of someone standing by the curb. My whole body reacts when I recognize him. I have imagined so many times how it would be seeing him again, what I would say. But as I run out the house and down the driveway my mind is blank.When I reach the road I stop in my tracks.There he is, Luca, standing in the pouring rain, totally shaking through and looking
*Soleil*I am awakened by my phone ringing. Next to me Luca turns over, mumbling incoherently. When it rings again I quickly get up and look at the screen in surprise. "Hi, it's Sol"."Hi, it's Marta. I am on my way to London. I'll be there in around ten hours. We are meeting at Siri's place tomorrow"."Tomorrow ? But we just got home". I say confused.She sounds stressed. "I know. But Gudrun has got some premonitions we need to look at. It looks like more hamrams are gathering"."Here in London ?" I ask, feeling chills running down my spine."She couldn't say precisely, but definitely close". Marta says. "I have to turn on my phone soon. But see you at Siri's tomorrow sister"."Yeah, see you". Marta hangs up
*Soleil*We are sitting around the table in Siri's small kitchen, discussing how to read the runes Gudrun has thrown about the premonition."My premonition was very specific. They are not newly changed and they are gathering". Gudrun looks at us."It has to be the two High ones we saw at the last moon". Marta gets an annoyed look on her face. "I said we should have followed them. Good knows how much damage they have done since"."Marta, don't forget the last of this kind we fought took,all of our combined powers and it was alone". Siri points out. "We can't go blind into battle with an enemy like that, let alone two"."I saw four". Gudrun swallows. "My kin showed me four, not two. They were in a wood. There was water behind them, maybe a lake. Farther down was a bridge. I am sure it was England, mos
*The vampire*I slam my fist into the mahogany table. "What the hell do you mean that you can't find her ?" I hiss into the phone. "I assigned you one job and I expect you to do that".The voice rattles of some stupid excuse."Just get it done". I yell and cut off the call. Closing my eyes I grind my teeth, breathing in slowly through the nose.There is still no sign of my girl. For a whole month I have patiently waited and watched her house, but she is impossible to track when she has no scent. In my desperation I have made a mistake… a huge mistake. Getting someone else involved in my hunt for her isn't just categorically stupid, but potential suicide. Rule number one is to never trust anyone, especially not the clan. There is always that little brown nosing idiot that wants to climb the ladder and Wupti I got Strano nosing ab
*Soleil*My fingers slide over the screen and the display lights up. Still no message. Actually I haven't heard from Luca at all since he left me yesterday. A thought invades my head and I bite my lip. Was this to be a repeat of the last time ? What if he had just wanted to see if he could get me fully and now when he had succeeded I am no longer interesting, just like Davina had warned me about. No, he is not like that or is he ? Why do I still turn right into an insecure little mouse when it comes to him ? Annoyed, I push away the thought; I need to focus. I will only make things worse by getting distracted by my private life now.I spent the night at Siri's place. We have agreed on staying away from my town until we are ready to meet the hamram. In the morning me and Gudrun drive to my place after my mom went to work and spend the day training in the garden and in the afternoon we walk down to the local c
