ALEX'S POV
“Sir, will you stop pacing and please tell me what has happened?” Melissa said exasperatedly after watching me walk up and down the corridor for the thousandth time.
“ Eva hasn’t returned yet, Melissa. She went to meet her parents in the morning and she hasn’t still returned.” I said anxiously.
ALEX'S POVI drove to the well of death first since I knew its location. The probability of Eva being there was low but I wanted to be sure. I felt sweat trickling down my forehead as I neared the place though it was a cold day. Last time when I was here, I was attacked by the Praishe. That incident burnt into my memory flashed before me and I felt shivers down my spine.
ALEX'S POVI didn’t dare to move about the forest at night. So, I decided to stay near the river till the next morning.The reflection of the full moon in the clear water of the river looked mesmerizing. The water sparkled with a silver sheen, the foliage of leaves glistened in the moonlight making everything look magical. Under normal circumstances, I would have t
EVA'S POVI hoped desperately for the torture would end. I just couldn’t take it anymore I wanted to die but those morons were having too much fun. They would lure me with blood, tempting me again and again. I was helpless to resist and no matter how hard I tried I would be drawn towards it. I would touch the cage, only to be stung again. I had lost count of the number of times that they did this to me. I had even fainted once or twice but they would revive me each time, only to torture me again.
ALEX'S POVSince there was no way to get out of the tunnel, I started walking inwards. My footsteps and heartbeats resounded in the quiet tunnel creating a terrifying atmosphere. More than twice I stopped mid-track to ensure that no one was following me. Sweat trickled down my forehead and dripped on the floor. I could hear the dripping sound too.Gosh! I couldn’t
EVA'S POVThe liquid tasted so heavenly. I found myself sucking greedily to get more and more. I felt as if my centuries-old thirst was being satisfied. Someone tried to pull my head away. No! I wouldn’t let them take away my treasure from me this time. I held on tightly with determination.I felt a voice in my mind. Awww...It was Alex. I will come back to you, baby but first let me satisfy my thirst. I am so thirsty that it is painful. You too wouldn’t want me to be in pain, would you?
ALEX'S POVI felt panic rise within me as I saw her eyes droop shut. What happened to her suddenly? She was fighting like a tiger a few moments ago? She had defeated both Lucifer and Daniel single-handedly. Seeing vapors rise from her body I begged Lucifer, “ Please tell me what has happened to her?”
EVA'S POVThe cool shower of water pulled me out of the oblivion I was in. I opened my eyes wondering if I was in some other world. I had never heard Vampires talk about afterlife. When the haze before my eyes cleared I could see Susie standing before me. Was she dead too? She helped me sit up and made me drink some water. It tasted sweet and refreshing. If I knew water was so reviving I would have drunk pretty decent quantities of water in my existence.
ALEX'S POVI felt my heart sink when Eva said that she wished to go to Dixonville. I wanted to tell her the truth about Eric and Emily but how could I tell her that the ones who had been her guardian for 500 years had betrayed her. She would feel so heartbroken at that news. So, I followed her quietly fully expecting to be ambushed any minute but it never happened.
