CHAPTER 60...Carmilla I separated our lips, staring into his eyes. “Can we take this slow?” I whispered, unsure of what I wanted.He nodded and went back to resting on his back. “I just find you irresistible.” His voice was in a near whisper.I wanted to ask a list of questions: ‘how am I irresistible?’ ‘Do you just find me attractive, or you love me?’ ‘If you love me, then how do we explain what is going on with Brenda?’ I shoved the thoughts aside and allowed my mind wander elsewhere; nowhere in particular.*******************************************************************************After a few minutes, we both made our way back to the room and had our dinner in awkward silence, then took turns to have our night bath. I prepared both beds and laid on my bed before Evans was out of the bathroom. The dim light gave me the leverage to steal a peak at him while he carefully slid into his pants without giving me a view of what I was not supposed to get a glimpse of.There was
CHAPTER 59...CarmillaHis expression was a bit more serious than it had appeared to look earlier. His brows furrowed into a unibrow. “Did you doubt it was Jethro all along?” I enquired.“No, no.” he was hesitant, yet reassuring. “Like I said, I shall investigate further.” He said. I gave a nod, and suddenly remembered what we were talking about earlier-the necklace. I raised it over his wide palm which waited below, ready to receive it. As soon as I dropped it into his palm, he threw it hard in reflex action. A sizzling sound was heard, accompanied with a faint smell of burning silver. We both looked at eachother, puzzled. I failed to recall that the necklace was made of silver, and I was resistant to it; just as I was also resistant to the silver dagger with which I was stabbed before the full moon.“Silver!” he muttered. “What would a werewolf have to do with silver?” he asked.I quickly reached for his hand and forced his palm open. It was red with a squeezed open tear whi
CHAPTER 58...Evans With my bare chest and black shorts, I went straight to the dining area.“Why?” I glared at him.“Easy…” Cole feigned fear. “It was a harmless request.” He defended.“It’s fine. It belongs to me.” Carmilla interrupted. “I see no reason you should interfere into this.” She looked up at me. Her expression stern, as though she had made a decision to hand it to him.This made me even more furious, but I barely had a choice. I heard Cole kiss his teeth. With a wave of his hand, he hissed. “I was only briefly interested. Do not be bothered, Luna.” He took another bite, while locking eyes with me.A wave of relief flushed through me, like I had held my breath far too long.I sat across Carmilla, digging anxiously into my meal in my very own house. “You know, there’s a lot I’m curious about.” Carmilla said, mouthful, whilst struggling to eat with one hand. “I don’t mind giving it for a research. I just want it returned in perfect condition.” “Carmilla!” I yelled. Ev
CHAPTER 57Evans’ POV“Why do you keep staring at me in that manner?” she glared at me, forcing herself off the bed with the properly-functioning hand. I jerked back into reality. “Do you feel well?” I asked, feigning concern. She moved farther away, her eyes shooting daggers as she shook her head sideways and ignored me.“You must be unwell.” She said as she lay on the bed at the far end of the room.I had my eyes fixated on the necklace on her neck, but I guess she was seeing something entirely different. The bed was awkwardly scattered with its sheets squeezed and rumpled like a make-out session had just occurred on it. ‘Oh thou silly mind of mine!’ I almost slapped my forehead.I picked the beddings and began to fold and tuck in where necessary, while patiently waiting for my golden opportunity-when Carmilla takes of the necklace to have her bath.************************************************************************************I could hear her soft snores from my end of the
Chapter 56...Carmilla Oh shoot! I also just discovered that his wife and my mother knew eachother quite well! C'mon!!!"I do not mind if you misunderstand me, okay." I equally yelled. "I also just found out when Cole gave me the box.""Cole? How many times do I have to tell you...." He was saying before I cut in."That you do not want to have anything to do with Cole?" I scoffed and exhaled angrily."Oh yes!" He ran his fingers through his head. We both had the same energy towards this confrontation."When would you understand this whole mess? When would you be able to identify who is for you?" My voice became softer, hiding minute sobs. "When would you be able to pinpoint who your real enemies are?" I said the last statement in a near whisper."I do not..." He was replying again, and I interrupted."You do not care...I understand." There was a well-spelt tone of betrayal in my voice. "Then, do not ask further!" I glared at him.He nodded fast, growled and stormed out of the ro
Chapter 55...Carmilla"I bring thee greetings." The woman said with her head touching the flooring.I couldn't fathom who she was paying homage to in such manner; neither I nor Katrina was older than the woman, yet she gave so much honor.When she raised her head, she stood with her shoulders dropped, head low. "I failed to recognize you." She said.'Who?' I wanted to ask.Well, that was not the issue then; the issue was Brenda.Did she perhaps cast a spell on her that she may forget about this?- if that's the case, 'its beautiful' I thought."You have hidden for so long." Katrina said.'Wait. What!' Katrina was the one who was reverend this much respect. I always knew she was no ordinary maid, but who would have imagined that this woman, Pythia would accord her this much respect?"I was graced, your honor." She bowed even more.There was a soft knock on the door, and Evans came in. On seeing Brenda sprawled on the floor, he panicked."She must have been tensed." Pythia lied. "It'
