I was so relieved to see that it was Liam. But, what was he doing here, in the garage? Shouldn’t he have been inside Dixonville?
He took the device from Alex’s hand and said, “I have been working on this for a year. I have developed software that uses AI to decipher languages. I can scan this page and upload the data but I need some clues. Even if we can get meanings of a couple of words, the software can decipher it through common patterns.”
Alex looked at me expectantly while I tried to rack my mind and come up with some clue. I felt adrenaline course through me as I recalled the prophecy. I remembered the picture with the prophecy well and I k
EVA'S POVStrangely, by the time Liam went a few feet away, the Alexart had stopped glowing. So, I called him back. My heart was thudding like a racing horse by now. I had no desire to stay here for even a moment longer. When I saw two out of the three cops leaving a plan formed in my mind.It was a foolproof plan and it had to work. I was just worried that Alex would get mad at me. “Alex, I don’t want to stay here any longer,” I said grasping his arm.
ALEX'S POVI felt my blood boil when I saw Eva walk towards that leacherous policeman. If I had known her plan, I would never have let her go. Unfortunately she sprung this plan on me like an unexpected shock. I didn’t even get an opportunity to react.I was so furious that I felt like dragging her away that very moment. I clenched my teeth and took deep breaths to calm myself. I would have rather knocked the cop down to escape. When she signalled me to run I was tempted to go and break the cop’s neck. I reigned in my temper with g
EVA’S POVI walked as quickly as my legs would allow. My hands and legs were full of minor scratches from stumbling several times. After what seemed like ages I reached the section of the forest where Eucalyptus trees grew in plenty. The strong aroma made me feel heady and distracted me from the terror that had clutched my heart. I kept walking deeper and deeper as if in a trance. Suddenly, I stumbled on a rock. I grabbed the nearby tree for support. Luckily I hadn’t falle
ALEX'S POVWhen I saw Eva in pain I felt a sudden burst of energy. I felt like I could push the door apart. I know it is insane but that is how I felt. I decided to give it a try. It was true that I would lose face but I would have tried to do something. Liam let out a muffled laugh when he saw me trying to push the door apart. One moment I was applying force on the doors and the next moment the door was wide open. I was rendered dumbstruck by this. I hadn’t even tried hard.
LIAM'S POVI sat alone in the hall while Eva and Alex went to get the manuscript. To be honest I was dying with curiosity and impatience but following them unasked didn’t seem like a polite thing to do. I sat at the edge of the sofa tapping my foot and looking at my watch every two seconds. What was taking them so long?My mind veered to the day I saw that dream. It was as if someone was urging me to wake up. Maybe urging was not the right word, that voice had practically commanded me. I found myself unable to ignore the command.
EVA'S POV“Liam! Liam!” I called out several times but he was nowhere to be seen. “Where did he go so late at night?” I asked in a concerned voice.“Where can he go. He must have dozed off in another room. That must be the reason he is not responding.”“I will go and check,” I said. Before I could take a single step Alex gripped my shoulders slightly and made me sit on the couch.”
ALEX'S POV“When love traps darkness in the ring of love the kingdom of vampires would crumble. This was the prophecy, wasn’t it.”It was etched into my memory but there was no harm in confirming it. Even a small error could prove disastrous. “Hmm…” Eva muttered dreamily. She appeared lost in the past.I tapped my fingers as I waited for the programming to get completed. The screen turned from red
LIAM'S POVI dragged myself up the stairs. My legs felt like they would give away any moment but I didn’t dare to stop. I had to kill Eva and Alex before that hooded creature got angry and summoned me again. How would I kill them? Eva didn’t even keep a gun so it wasn’t possible to steal one. I could stab them with a kitchen knife or suffocate them or maybe bang their head against the wall. I would need to separate them. It wouldn’t be practical to fight both of them at the same time.
