ALEX'S POV
The organizers agreed to my request after a lot of persuasion. I had requested them to grant Susie an opportunity to tell the audience, the story of her life before the auction began.
When I returned the hall was almost full. The masterpiece was placed on the center of the stage waiting for it to be unveiled but where was Susie?
EVA'S POV“ When will you understand, Eva!” Emily roared, too loud even for a vampires’ ears. I closed my ears involuntarily and looked up at her wondering why she was behaving like a furious Grizzly Bear.I looked around my littered room, paintbrushes, watercolors, Acrylics were strewn across the room. From the day I had arrived at El Frosta, I rarely went out. I kept myself busy painting various memories. How did I offend Emily if I never even went out?
EVA'S POVI went into my room and wore gloves. Then I took out the bottle of oil that I always kept in the locker. I added the whole bottle of oil into the bottle labeled ‘ Red Wine’ in the cabinet. “ Pour a glass for me too,” Emily said from behind me. My heart came into my mouth. I slid the bottle of oil into my pocket. With shaking hands, I poured the liquid into three glasses. Thankfully she didn’t notice anything. Handing one glass to Emily, I walked towards Eric and handed him the other glass. I sat on th
ALEX'S POVI took a cab to my bakery. I felt so proud seeing Melisa and Ryan hard at work.“ Sir, Why are you here? Weren’t you supposed to be at the exhibition? Is there a problem.” Ryan asked in a single breath, his sincerity ringing through his words.
ALEX'S POVI woke up early the next morning and got ready in record time. Susie had sent a message stating that she was crashing at Philip’s place. Since I was left to my own devices, I would grab something on the way. I went to the library near the market first.
EVA'S POVI spent the whole night listening to everyone around. When I heard Philip insult Alex I almost went there to defend him. I don’t know how I managed to resist. The sounds of the wolves and the subtle hints of the presence of Praishe had me in knots. Early in the morning, I busied myself in performing The Shield Ritual, securing the area around The Amor Lake. I wondered how Eric and Emily were? I felt a sudden urge to call them but I decided against it. Calling them could be dangerous for them and me too.
ALEX'S POV“ Sir! Sir! Are you alright? Why are you sleeping on the floor?” Athena’s anxious voice broke through my peaceful slumber. I rubbed my eyes and opened them. Oh yes, I had slept in my bakery last night.
ALEX'S POVI ran into Mr. Lawrence, our principal on my way to my room. “ Alex, I have bad news.” He said in a glum tone.My heart skipped a beat and I looked up at him.
EVA'S POVI started panicking when Eric and Emily didn’t regain consciousness even by morning. I had to call somebody to help me. But, whom could I call?The only one capable of helping me was Mr. Wangchuk. I was not sure I trusted him completely. I didn’t want him to know about my secret cave. So, I went to Dixonville and performed the shield ritual. I took out another car from the
