Christina pov
Jason said "we have a bad news..... The vampires and demons who where against us in the war are back in the city and they are after something which they were not able to have last time in the war but we don't know what exactly. My wolf's pack gave this news to us today". Then he turned to ray and said "so vampire I see...? then my instincts were right. Anyways I would have hunted u down sooner or later to seek the truth..... but it is what it is" ray said to him "maybe I would have been the one to hunt u down first ", both of them were glaring each other. Jess interrupted them and said "aren't u guys being very rude to each other?" after her words the room went silent. Alex said to everyone "I guess our pasts r going to be dig out again " jason said to alex "actually we need a vampire for help to find more details about this matter can anyone of u come with us?" Alex said "I will come jason" and then turned to ray "I think u should take care of Christina". I said to them "guys I am fine" and was about stand but stumbled, at that moment only jason caught me. Jason started scolding me " See yourself", he gave me a soft concerned look and continued his speaking "Stay here.... me and alex will come after few hours and I'll take u to my house.... its not safe for u to stay alone, we already don't know what those symbols on your skin means and who those people were". I then again sat on the couch I didn't argued with him because I knew I can never win on him in these type of cases . Jess then said to me "I really want to be with u Christie but I can't leave our parents alone, I am so sorry" I said to her "jess its absolutely fine.. dont worry so much, you already know I am a stronger girl and I am not alone". I held her hands in my hands and brushed my thumbs one them while giving her a reassuring look to go now. She then quickly hugged me and I hugged her back. Alex then said "I think we should go now" jason said "yes..... And jess come with us I'll drop u on the way". Then they were all gone it was now only me and ray.
Ray asked me "so u r Hungry?"
"Umm little bit I guess"
"Then I'll cook for u something"
"Wait u can cook!?"
"Yeah.... I am the chef of this house and alex is too lazy to do anything so I am bound to cook but you know already food isn't a necessity for us"
"Hmmm"
"Wait I'll come after few minutes" And he smiled and I smiled back
I checked my phone there was a missed call by alina so I called her back
On the call
Alina: U okay? U r fine right?
Christina: Wait wait calm down
Alina: Jason called me and explained me everything
Christina: Sis everything is fine, it's just that I am little weak.
Alina: So andrew and leo will come tomorrow
Christina: yeah and wby?
Alina: I would be coming after five days and I have holidays for one week so I would be able to stay with you this time longer
Christina: wowww that's so good
Alina: now take rest I'll call u later again.
Christina: yeah... bye love u sis
Alina: bye love u too
After this ray came and said to me "here have these"
"Wow" I remarked and started eating the sandwiches
I complimented him "The r really delicious". He scratched his back and said "I didn't knew u would like them this much" I grinned at him and he also ate a sandwich. I told him that I felt better after eating. He was glad about that. He then asked me "so I really wanna ask u something"
"Yup ask"
"Actually I am thinking about our nightmares... If u r comfortable can u tell me about them? I'll tell mine also, I have a feeling that they might be connected"
"Actually my majority of the nightmares r similar just with new additions, completely new ones r once in a while . I keep on seeing people dying, fire everywhere, I feel like getting chased, trapped and etc. My nightmares r majority blurred so never was able to get into its roots"
"I actually see those kind of things too dieing... Chased.... Trying to run away or sometimes facing someone but as u said its all are blurred" he sighed and continued his talk " Lets leave it anyways we will one day get to know it somehow what's all behind of these".
I nodded.
After that only the lights went off I started panicking, I am afraid of the dark. I started shaking in fear, my breathing got heavier, ray understood something was wrong, he got concerned and asked " Christie?"
I tightly hugged him and said while trembling "I.... I.. I hate darkness.... It will kill me" he hugged me back and said while rubbing my back "Its gonna be alright..... I am with you... always". What is this? why does it feel so familiar? Why I feel like we know each other since a really long time? His warmth, his presence, his caring and loving behaviour towards me is so overwhelming. He then patted my head lightly and said "its just a power shortage don't worry about it". After a while finally the light came back and I noticed that I cried a little bit. We broke our hug and Ray with his hands wiped my tears and teased me "omg u r such a crybaby" I said to him while feeling embarassed "I didn't cried! that must be because of some dust particle in my eyes"
"yeah yeah..... But u do look like a baby while crying "
"I am not a baby"
"doubt it"
I gave a eye roll and turned my face away from him. Damn I never really cry infront of others what the hell happened to me today. Then he hold my chin with one of his hands and made my face turn to him, this made me directly look into his eyes, his face was few inches away from me and he said to me "Christina never look away from me it hurts me". He was so close that I can even feel his breath. And then only ray's phone rang and I came back to my senses and yeeted away. He answered the phone and I was still in shock, my whole face was red and I was trying my best to hide it. He then told me "Alex just called me they will come within half an hour its getting very dark and its extremely unsafe so they will probably search for more clues tomorrow and even your angel and devil friends will help us too so it would be easier for us"
"Yeah andrew and Leo would be alot of help"
I then stood up and stretched a little as I was sitting for a long time so got stiffened up. Ray was staring at me so I asked him "what happened?"
"Umm nothing". Then in vampire speed he came to me and caressed my cheek and said "what is this....."
