He looked at me and cupped my face with one of his hands and he came near my face. We can even feel each other's breath. His dark blue eye gaze was feeling like he is looking through my soul. He shoved my hair away from my face with his other hand, we were so close that our lips were almost touching and then he kissed me and I kissed him back. Our eyes were closed. I saw a blur vision of 2 people holding hands and there was a voice "lets leave this world together". I opened my eyes in shock tears were falling from my eyes he was shook too and had tears in his eyes too. We broke the kiss and stared into each other's eyes for a moment. I was too drunk to say anything my eyes got heavy and I blanked out.

Why my pillow became so stiff? I tried to touch the pillow why is it so long? Wait thats not a pillow its a leg. A LEG!? I opened my eyes and I saw ray sleeping and my head was on his lap. He was waking up too. Holy shit. He opened his eyes, I gulped and as soon as he realised our position too we both scooted away from each other within a fraction of second. What on the earth was I doing in his lap? I can't even look at him. I rushed to my room , closed the door and leaned against the door on my back and grabbed my head in confusion. What happened last night? Focus Christina focus, after forcing my mind to remember I finally remembered. Holy cow did we just kissed last night! U idiot what u did. God I can't face him. We were drunk ik but still we kissed what the hell. Why we kissed? Ughhh.. Its best I'll pretend nothing happened because we didn't had any control m we were drunk its no one's fault. I hope he doesn't remember. While I was thinking all this someone knocked my door.
Ray said "heyyy u would be needing my help with your bandages"
"Oh yeah right"
I had no choice but to open the door. He came and helped me with the bandages and he told me "your face scar is completely healed..... Btw how did u danced yesterday with all this wounds?"
"Ahhhhh that.... Actually the pain was mainly on the 1st day the next day it wasn't much there"
Then I went into the washroom got freshen up, he dressed my wounds again and had breakfast with him. By his behaviour I think he doesn't remember what happened last night thank goodness as he didn't mentioned anything regarding that. Ray asked me "so what's your plans for today?"
"I'll read the books more and try some magic spells as I feel better today..... What about u?"
"For now I'll show u few of the special rooms here and then maybe I'll go for hunting"
"Really? I am excited to see them"
"Come with me"
He then took me in a big room full of paintings. The paintings were so beautiful can't even describe in words. I asked him "who painted these?"
"My mother and Alex, they used to love doing paintings"
"Woww they r amazing artists these paintings r so mesmerising.... Andrew would have loved to come here"
"Andrew?"
"Yeah he is a great artist, I love his drawings so much.... He basically lives for art..... Uk he even has a secret copy where he hid some of his paintings, I think those paintings r beautiful too"
"Think? U didn't saw them?"
"No he didn't showed me or to anyone. Firstly I asked him why? But he never gave me a valid reason he always avoided the answer..... so I thought its maybe really precious to him to show to anyone and I respected his privacy, not everyone can show everything to everyone... but I would love to see those drawings if he shows me one day..... And yeah alex and andrew would love each other's works alot"
"Really?"
"Yeah"
"Do u draw too?"
" No no I don't draw much sometimes I did as andrew taught me to do. He used to love teaching me to draw other than that no"
He nodded and he took me to another room. There was a huge piano at the center and the room was music themed. I asked him "u play piano?"
"Yup whenever I come here..... Wanna hear something?"
"Ofc why not". He sat on the seat and started playing a melody on the piano. He played really well. After playing for a while I told him "that's beautiful..... U r a really good pianist"
"I am not that good..... Need to improve alot.... U wanna try?"
"Me? But I don't know to play."
"No problem I'll teach u. U come here"
And I sat beside him and he taught me the notes. We both were enjoying each other's company all the time. After the piano session he went for hunting and I went to my room. I gave back the books which I already completed and asked for new ones from Alina. I started studying them and applying my magic spells. After an hour I thought I should go outside as my magic would be working better in nature, there is a lawn here too. The lawn had so many different kinds of flowers. I practiced magic for hours there to make myself stronger. When I felt exhausted, I sat for a while there. Ray came to me and offered me some coffee and said "don't overwork yourself"
"I won't don't worry Ray. U done hunting?"
"Yeah"
After drinking the coffee I again started chanting the spells and ray was sitting on the bench nearby. After half an hour I stopped. I think that's enough for today.
Time went by nothing much happened
At 4:30pm he asked me "wanna go to the beach now?"
"Sure"
We walked on the sand while feeling the breeze touching our body. The water touched our feets and gave us a chilled feeling. We didn't played in the water today as my wounds r still not healed completely but as soon as they r healed I'll definitely play in the water. After walking we spread a long cloth on the sand and sat on it while enjoying the sun set. I told him " I used to come with my friends and families on trips in places like these... I miss our old days"
"Me too..... That war messed up everything"
"Our memories r so messed up as well that we don't even remember..... All I remember is a war happened and we lost so many of our loved ones and that betrayal"
"Betrayal?"
"Yeah.... Actually there was another girl in our gang her name was Grace she actually went onto the side who
started the war against us. She used to be our friend but betrayed us by going on our enemies side"
"Why did she do so?"
"Maybe she chose her life over others lives....She was not a bad person she just chose the wrong path... We would have protected her with all our lives but she thought being on our side may kill her as u remember the enemies were stronger than us so she thought if she is on our enemies side it will keep her safe or so she thought."
"What happened to her?"
"She died.... our enemies killed her after using her as a spy among us. All she did this so she could live but at the end she lost her life only..... Our enemies were able to destroy us so much because she gave away all our plans and secrets to them, we didn't knew she was the one who said everything to our enemies untill when she fought against us during the war. "
He then rubbed my back to make me feel better. And put my head on his shoulder. And we then watched the sunset together. We then went inside the room. My phone rang it was leo.
During the call
Leo: r u free right now? Ik u r on break but I thought u should know something.
Christina: yeah ofc say
Leo: while me and andrew were searching through all those documents we found something..... there is something called a vampire kingdom which still exists or not don't know but there is some sort of history regarding king Arnold who used to be the king of this kingdom many centuries ago connected to us because in these documents his name is continuously there. Can u ask ray if he has any idea as alex already told he has no idea?
Christina: okay I'll ask him
Leo: Take care of yourself there. I miss u
Christina: I miss u too
Leo: gotta go ttyl. Bye
Christina: bye
I explained everything to ray and asked if he has any idea. He said no but he also said that he heard his dad mentioning this name once but what for no one knows. What is this new kingdom chapter? I spent the rest of the time by again studying the books and ray with his business work.
Next day
The morning routine went the same but this time all my wounds except the stomach one were healed completely. We went to the nearby park today. We both sat on the swings. Ray said to me "when I was little I used to love to go to parks so much but nowadays I don't go much"
"Why?"
"Actually I used to go to the park frequently because one of my friends always came to the park but she suddenly stopped coming there and I had no idea why and as she stopped coming we lost to keep in touch.... I was too little to apply my brain to ask her where she lives or something.. we both just enjoyed our time playing with each other. "
"How old where u back then?"
"My human age would be like that time around 4 or 5 years old"
"U miss her?"
"Alot... But I hope wherever she is she be happy"
"U make me remember my childhood as well... When I was little I actually had no friends, all I was bullied then few years went by and I started realising I should fight for myself aa those things needed to be stopped and after that never in my life was anyone able to Bully me. People can only bully when u don't speak for yourself and fight for Yourself... And later in my life came Andrew and leo. They were my only best friends at school... Umm grace was too but after what she did I can't consider her best friend anymore"
"Hmm I can understand. What about others?"
"Jason's and Jessica's families were family friends with my parents so through that I became friends with them. Zen and I used to be in the same dancing classes. Steve's father and my father were bandmates. Derek started living in our house 2 years ago, he is pg(paying guest) in our house but we don't consider him pg he is our friend now"
"I used to have 2 human best friends but both of them died in a car accident..... Actually they were coming on their way to meet me as we planned to have some buddy time together at my house but on their way a truck accidentally hit their car as the truck driver was drunk driving. They both were in critical conditions and both of them after few hours died"
"Ray.." I stood up, came to him and hugged him while saying "they r giving their blessings through heaven to u. They will always be there with u"
"I really miss them"
I patted his back.
After a while we came back home and....
