🌹Chapter 4🌹
.
I ate dinner that evening and put on pajamas. The only sweeter thing about this new found freedom is that i can wear whatever I like and go wherever I wanna go.
I wore a tank t©p that evening and decides to check on Dylan since I’m not normally use to being alone.
” Hey , can I come in ?” I ask and peek into his room.
He turn to look at me and smiled. ” You’re alre-ady here.”
I quitely laugh and walked in. I shut his door and smiled at his room . It smell so good and different from Arden’s. Oh damn ! Arden again ?
I walk in and stood still.
” What ? You can sit on the couch if you want and st©p standing.”
I smiled and nodded. I sit on his be-d as he adjust a little bit for me to sit properly.
” Thanks.” I said and fold my legs.
” You’re okay right ? I don’t wanna be held responsible for not taking good care of you.” Dylan said.
I laugh and bit myl-ip.
” By Arden ?”
” Yeah , he’s an as-s-hole.”
We laugh and I smiled. I saw a game pad I usually I see in Arden’s living room but I’m not opportune to pl@yit.
” You pl@yright ?” I ask him .
” What ?”
” Video game.”
He smiled like a teenager and nodded.
” Hold on.” He got out of be-d and plug in the game. I glance around his room and it’s totally pretty.
” You should take that.” He said giving me a pad.
” Am I supposed to teach you how to pl@y?” He ask me.
” Watch the genius beat you up.” I smiled and win-ked at him.
It’s a fighting game. A female warrior wondering about. It reminded me of Amazon. Dylan properly set the game and my avatar was in a match with Dylan’s. We fought and i won the first round.
” Yess..” I scream .
” Okay , just as-sume I let that happened.” Dylan said as we waited for round 2.
I giggle as our avatars fought. He won this time as we continued pla-ying. We talked about a lot of things and I sle-pt off.
I open my eyes and it’s morning. This isn’t my room. I silently yawn and sit up. I pu-ll the blanket from myself and itch my eyes. What am I doing in Dylan’s room ?
” You sle-pt off.” Dylan said standing beside his door.
” Good morning.” He greeted and shut his door.
I smiled and get off the be-d.
” Good morning. Sorry I sle-pt off.” I said and stood up.
He smiled and nodded.
” It’s fine. Hope you sle-pt well ?”
” Yeah. Thanks.” I sluggishly walk to the door and hvg Dylan before leaving for my own room.
I quic-kly took my bath and change into something better. I walk out of my room and entered the kitchen. Dylan was drinking coffee and cereal as he concentrate on his phone.
” That’s one of the worst combinations ever.” I said sitting down. He laughs and drop his phone.
” Seriously ?”
” Yeah.” I smiled and pick another spoon to eat from his cereal.
” Is this a tradition ? Arden likes cereal too. Is this a coincident or what ?” I ask shoving the cereal into my mouth.
” My mom. When we were growing up she taught us how to eat this , because she wants us to get use to human food instead of frequent blood. So it has turn into a habit for both of us.” He stated
while I nodded eating from his cereal.
” Are you that hungry ?” He ask eating the cereal too. I chuckle and wipe the corner of my mouth.
” I think.” I drank the water and sit back the glas-s.
” Why don’t you mix with Arden ?” I ask him.
” Weird reasons. We have our own issues maybe and we sort of don’t have same interests.”
” Really ? Cause you don’t sleep around ?”
He laughs and ru-b his temple.
” So who says Arden sleeps around ?” He ask.
I sigh.” I don’t know , maybe it’s what I know.”
” I thought you lived with Arden for months. Well , he doesn’t sleep around. I only know of Jasmin and Blue.”
I roll my eyes and serve the milk.
” So why don’t you have a girlfriend ?”
” I don’t want one.”
” Wow.” I bat my lashes and smiled eating his cereal.
” And why if I may ask ?” I ask and look up at him.
He smiled.” I don’t really wanna be committed.” He says and shove his cereal into his mouth.
” Just like Arden ?” I ask and bit myl-ip. He laughs and shrug.
I nodded and tap my hand abs£ntly on the table.
” What’s up with your powers ?” Dylan ask.
” It’s weird.”
” What can you do ap@rt from healing ?”
I look around the kitchen and saw the magnetic knife storage with knives glued to it. I looked at and concentrate my mind on it. The knife slide out of the storage as i caught it. I smiled and drop it on the kitchen table.
” I can move things with my mind.”
” Telekinesis , wow. That’s awesome.”
” What else ? You teleport ?”
” Maybe I do but I really haven’t tried it yet.”
” Why ?”
” Because I really don’t have time for power practice. I’ve always hated to be in Amazon. I planned to run away and here i am. I’m guilty as hell , like I caused what happened and now I missed them.” I sigh.
” I’m sorry about that.”
I laughed and nodded. ” Thanks Dylan. I’m good. Getting use to this..” I roll my eyes around the kitchen as he laughs.
” You know what I like about you ?” I ask him , b!tt!g my bottoml-ip. He sm-irk and shake his head sideways.
” You remind me of my older brother adriel. He’s cute like you.” He laugh as his dimples surface. I never knew he had one like Arden too.
” Thanks.”
” You’re welcome…” He stood up and place the plates on the sink.
” Don’t you have maids who normally come clean ?”
” Yeah. But sometimes I work myself.” He replied washing the the cereal dish. I nodded and watched him wipe it dried with the napkin.
” Have you heard about himiko ?”
He halt and turn to look at me. He put back the plate and sit on his chair again.
” So how come you heard her name too ?”
” I just knew.”
” You’re lying.”
” Tell me about her.” I pressured.
” She’s sort of a cl@ylegend and a character in a book. Like a Novel.”
” So…” I trail.
” According to the book , she’s a witch from cl@yand she was bethroted to a vampire of a coven called Genesis. She was supposed to get married to the older brother but I think she cheated on him with his younger twin brother. She was cursed by a demon and was banished to the dark. The older twin brother shapeshift into a bat and was never seen again. The other brother was killed with a stake throu-gh his heart.”
” Why was she cursed ?”
” She cheated.” Dylan replied.
” So what ? She’s not even his wife but a bethroted. What if she doesn’t like the older brother but her heart beats for his younger brother ?”
” I really don’t know. Traditions.”
” What if Jasmin cheated too ? Like what if Jasmin sleep out ?” I ask.
He was quiet for a second like who’s thinking.
” I’m confused , really.”
” Nothing is gonna happen. One because she’s a vampire princess and two she’s nob©dy’s wife and three, she has a right to. She’s a vampire who nee-ds to be t©uçhed sometimes because she nee-ds to sustain without blood. I think , she was cursed because she’s a witch and the vampires hated her.”
Dylan sigh and sm-irk.
” Why did you say that ?”
” I don’t really know. Maybe himiko wasn’t generally a bad person. Something made her cheat. Maybe she was f0rç£d or R@p£d.”
” Alita..” Dylan called. I sigh and look away from him.
” Why are you so into this himiko fairytale ?”
I’m not willing to explain anything to anyone , not now. Maybe I just nee-d to find who wrote that book and where he stays.
” Can I get the book ?”
” I heard about that story when I was in high school. I’m not really sure you can find it.”
” But you can find it in a witch’s libr@ry , right ?”
” I don’t really know.”
” Thanks Dylan.” I smiled at him. He didn’t return the smile.
” Alita are you okay ?”
” Yeah , I’m fine.” He smiled and nodded.
” I’m just wondering who told you about himiko ? That’s a long time fairytale , it’s so weird you knew about it.”
” Kylie told me about it.”
He raise his brows and smiled.
” Okay.”
” Do you have feelings for Arden ?” Dylan ask after the short silence.
” Feelings ? I don’t think so.”
He laugh quietly.” That’s weird.”
” Yeah I know. I’m weird. I like him just like you.”
” Like him ? Really ?”
” I really don’t know what to say.” I said and sigh. He laughs and smile shyly.
” Go get dressed , Kylie will take you shopping for everything you nee-d.”
” Wow , thanks.”
” You’re welcome.”
” Are you hungry ? Maybe I should make something for you.” He said.
” I’m fine , thanks. But can I ask a favor ?”
” Sure.”
” Can I see Derek ?”
” Yeah. I’ll ask him to come over.”
” Thank you.”
He smiled and stand up to leave.
” How come I haven’t seen your fangs before ?” I really don’t know where that question c@m£ from.
He turn around and shove his hands inside his pockets. Great ! He’s so cute.
” I heard that.” He smiled while I roll my eyes.
” To your question , it’s because you really haven’t seen me feed.”
” Will I ?”
” Alita..”
” I’m just asking. I know I’m a weirdo.” He laugh and smile. I looked at him hoping he’s gonna answer. He shrug and bit hisl-ip.
” Maybe you will. Maybe you won’t.”
” What if you are blood thirsty , will you feed from me ?”
” I won’t do that.”
” Why ?”
” Nothing , I just don’t want to.”
I look down at my hands and sigh. ” Arden said my blood is bitter. That’s weird right ?”
” Yeah. Did he tell you why ?”
” He said it’s because I’m a witch. I don’t even know what he meant by that.” I stand up and walk to Dylan.
” Will you take me to skate ?”
” If you want.”
” I want.” I giggle. He smiled and nod.
” Thanks.” I hvg him as he stro-ke my hair.
” I’m sleepy.” He said still stro-king my hair. I dis£ngage from the hvg and looked at him.
” You sle-pt last night right ?”
” I ba-rely sleep at night and I had to watch you. You were whimpering like you had a bad dream. I had to stro-ke your hair before you managed to sleep.”
I bat my lashes and remembered the day i sle-pt in Arden’s room.
” Sorry about that.”
” It’s fine . It’s the least I could do.”
” Kylie will be here soon. Go get dressed.”
I smiled broadly as he took my hand. We walked out of the kitchen and climb the stairs too. He walk me to my room and turn back to enter his room. I opened my new closet and pick out a jean p@n-ts and sweaters. It’s sort of cold outside. Someone knocked on my door and I quic-kly opened it.
” Look who I caught.” She giggle and entered my room.
” Wow.” Kylie says as she smiled at my room.
” Same like Arden.” She said.
” I bet.”
” You’re not re-ady yet ? Dylan said I’m taking you out today. You know the coolest p@rt , I’m driving on my own.”
” Really ?”
” Yeah. I’m driving one of his cars.”
” Then we’re touring. That’s a deal.” I win-ked and pick up my clothes.
” I’ll be done in a jiffy.” I added and rush to the bathroom.
I got dressed and stare at my reflection. I look better if not good. I walk out of the bathroom to meet Kylie , she’s been waiting like forever.
” Let’s go.”
I st©pped by at Dylan’s room and knocked. I opened his door and he’s fast asleep. He opened his eyes and smiled at me.
” We’re leaving.” I whisper and he nodded.
” Be careful or I’ll have Arden kill me.”
I laugh and nodded. It’s nice he respects Arden and not the other way around. I shut his door and climb downstairs to meet Kylie. She was alre-ady outside. She opened the door to one of Dylan’s cars and ushered me to get in. I did as she shut the door and turn around to enter.
” Can you heat the car ? It’s a bit cold.” I said to Kylie once we were on the road.
” Sure.” She says and press a bu-tton. I look out of the window and it’s busy as usual.
” What’s with your new house ?”
I laugh.” Cool..” I said stressing the word.
” I bet you missed Arden.”
” I did yesterday. But today , I’m really cool.”
She chuckle and nod to the music blaring out of the radio.
” Dylan’s cool.”
I nodded.” Yeah. I really like him though.”
” More than Arden ?” She grimace.
” I like both.”
She smiled and focus on the road. She’s always driving speed just like Arden. I really don’t know where they are rushing to.
” Where can I find a witch’s libr@ry ?”
” In Brooklyn ? I don’t think so. Maybe in cl@y, yeah.”
” Can we go to cl@y?”
” No way. That’s like six to ten hours ride. You don’t want Dylan to get angry at you.”
” Come on. We’ll be back before evening.”
” Alita , I can’t drive you to clay. Dylan’s gonna kill me and get angry at you even if he can’t t©uçh you. By the way , why are you going to cl@y? What do you nee-d a witch’s libr@ry for ?”
So how am I supposed to tell her i nee-d to find a lot of information about himiko. I nee-d to look for someone who doesn’t believe she’s a fairytale.
” I want a book. That book about himiko.”
” What ? That’s a old book. And why would you travel to cl@ybecause of a book ?”
” Kylie plea-se. I’m not gonna tell and Dylan won’t get angry.” I pout and clasp both my hands.
She sigh defeatedly and bit herl-ip. ” Fine. We’ll go.” She exhale.
” Yess….”
