“V…Verona…” Siana whispered under her breath as she stared at the figure that stood outside her door. She finally saw that same bright smile again and it brought tears to her eyes immediately.

The smile reassured her they both still felt the same way, that they were still what they were 5 years also and Verona was still madly in love with Siana. 

What was even happening? Why was Verona here? If she had come back, why didn’t she meet her in the library? Why was she hiding for so long? If they were done already, why had she come back now?

There were several unanswered questions in her mind. However, Siana chose to ignore them all and pulled the door wide open. With no other words, she jumped into Verona’s arms who was much taller than her. 

Verona laughed as she caught her and hugged her back. 

“Hi honey…” Verona whispered into her eyes as she squeezed her closer. She had a bright smile on her face as she held the love of her life close in her arms. “How you been, my love?” 

All the answers she got was Siana sobbing bitterly as she finally held onto Verona tightly. She had grabbed onto her clothes tightly and refused to let go as though if her grip loosened, Verona would disappear again. 

Verona lifted Siana in her arms and carried her inside the house. She sat down on the sofa and made Siana sit on her lap. Hugging her tightly, Verona caressed her back and hair in a rhythmic. 

They just sat there silently holding onto each other as if their life depended on it. Their presence was enough to console and reassure them that everything was alright now. Still, Siana held tightly onto Verona’s clothes and tightened her grip when Verona tried to pull her away. At last, Verona gave up and hugged her tightly. 

“I’m not going anywhere, honey…” She whispered lightly into Siana’s ear as she pulled her closer. “I’m so sorry I left you to deal with everything all by yourself. But I’m here now okay and I’m all yours now.” Her hands moved across her back in a rhythmic order as she tried to calm Siana whose back raised and dropped with equal intervals as she sobbed on her shoulder. 

Her words were followed by silence. That room was filled with no sound but Siana’s muffled sobs which did start to get fainter after some time. Occasionally Verona shushed her if she began crying more.

Kai watched them from a distance, still confused about what was happening and who this person was. He didn’t dare get too close cause he didn’t trust Verona. He had gone through all of Siana’s memories and still, he didn’t find any of Verona. He was observing closer to see her aura or sense if there were any negative feelings around her. 

However, all his efforts went in vain cause even after using up most of his powers he was unable to sense anything from her. That was just making him more and more suspicious of her cause he knew nothing and couldn’t even tell if she was good or not. 

From their talks, it seemed like they had met after a long time and it got him wondering why she had left to begin with. Why was Siana acting so scared and didn’t want to let her go? Why was Verona acting so normal around her as if they had last met just some time back?

“Have you calmed down now love?” Verona asked as she wiped away the tears from Siana’s face. 

Siana nodded slowly as she sniffled and wiped away her nose with the long sleeves of her hoodie. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying so much. Her cheeks and nose had also gotten pinkish and swollen from rubbing so much.

“Good.” Verona patted her head as she smiled at her. Siana stayed silent for a second and just stared at her. Verona caressed her cheek as she looked at her in confusion, waiting for her to say something. But what she did next confused her even more. 

The blank expressions on Siana’s face changed into anger in no time and she slapped Veroan’s shoulder who just stared at her in even more confusion but Siana didn’t say anything and kept hitting her. After a few hits when Siana didn’t listen to her, Verona grabbed her hands and forced her to stop. 

“What happened honey? At least tell me why you’re hitting me?” Verona said as she finally looked her in the face after squirming around to avoid getting hit. To her surprise, Siana was once again in tears and has a painful expression on her face as she bit her lip to stop her tears from escaping her eyes. 

“Why did you leave me?!” Siana burst out as she pulled her hands away and once again hit Verona. “I was so sad this whole time but you didn’t even care to call me once!” Her voice started to faint as she cried harder but still kept hitting Verona; each hit got weaker as she cried. 

“I am really sorry that I did that to you love…” Verona said as she hugged Siana in order to make her stop and calm her down. 

Within a second, Siana burst out in tears as she couldn’t hold them back anymore. She held onto Verona as she sobbed harder. 

“I was so worried for you!” Siana cried out. “You didn’t even bother telling me if we’re done…if I should wait for you…where I should look for you and what I should do after you left…” 

Verona sighed and hugged Siana tighter. “I’m so sorry you had to go through all that honey…” She kept apologizing multiple times but she knew that it wasn’t going to take away the pain that Siana had suffered all these years. 

“I still love you a lot and I still want to be with you. Unless you’ve found someone else obviously…” Verona looked at her with a sad expression as she waited for the love of her life to tell her if she had started loving someone else. 

Siana shook her head in denial. “I waited for you…I just couldn’t stop thinking of you or forget you…” Siana was stopped by something soft pressing against her lips. She looked up and was surprised to see that it was Verona’s lips. She smiled faintly and closed her eyes as she kissed her back.

“I love you…” Verona said as she pulled her lips away from her for a second before kissing her again…deeper this time as she wrapped her arms around her waist and pulled her closer. 

Siana put her arms around her neck and kissed her deeper. The vibes around her changed within a second as she was finally in the arms of the girl she had loved for the longest time and had waiting for since middle school. 

They stayed there on the sofa for a long time just cuddling and talking about what they had been up to since the time they had not met each other. 

“Why did you even leave me…?” Siana asked all of a sudden as she sat up and looked Verona in the eyes. The calm expression on her face changed as soon as she heard that question she sat there for a few minutes saying nothing at all. 

“Verona?” Siana asked as she shook her arm lightly trying to snap her out of her thoughts. 

“Uh…yeah…” Verona started to stutter her words as she started talking. “Um…I can’t really tell you anything…I’ll tell you when the right time comes…” 

Her response left Siana confused and conflicted. It raised suspicion in her mind. What was it that stopped Verona from telling her the truth? Why did she disappear for these 5 years and what had happened to her during this time?

Several questions filled Siana’s mind but she chose to ignore them all because she didn’t want to make Verona leave as soon as she had come back. 

“Hm…alright then…” Siana said in a low voice as she tried to hide her emotions from her. Verona smiled back as she kissed her forehead and closed that topic completely. 

*

“Let’s see who can protect you now princess…I’m going to ruin all your relations with these people so you’d have no one to rely one but me…” And once again those green eyes glowed in the dark.

  • Princess or Prey?   Chapter 19

    The wind caused rustlings in the forest and the darkness made it very hard to see anything that lay in front of Verona. Suddenly thunder sounds were heard and before she could look up at the dark clouds, her head was hit with raindrops, falling swiftly one after another, making her drenched within seconds.She sighed as she showed disappointment in her luck. However, the darkness and rain didn’t seem to scare her. What scared her was what was inside that forest. She was there to meet someone and to meet them she had to go deep into the forest. The trees were too dense for her car to drive any further. So, in pitch-black darkness, she set out to reach the center on foot. She had no source of light with her so once again she forced her injured body to use up the rest of her vampire powers to see in darkness and protect herself from any possible prey. Her body had weakened a lot due to the attacks and she had noticed that both her arms had nail marks on them and were bleeding a little

  • Princess or Prey?   Chapter 18

    Siana smiled slyly as she warned Verona about what was about to come and how she was going to ruin her life. Verona just laid there trying to get up but was hit too hard and couldn’t get up anymore. The anger in her eyes was still very strong and annoyed her that she couldn’t do anything. But no matter how hard she tried, she wasn’t able to get up as the werewolf was stepping on her back. Its weight stopped her from moving at all and she could just watch as Siana laughed at her condition. She didn’t seem to be affected at all by being choked for so long. Her voice and her body seemed perfectly fine. Chloe, on the other hand, had turned into a mess. She was sobbing loudly as she called for help. Verona found it pathetic and was embarrassed to have partnered up with someone so weak. Siana found it amusing; she liked her cries for help as they made her feel superior and strong. “Well, goodbye for now. I shall see if you can still reach your goal after this.” Siana said as she waved h

    “Cause I hate you to death!” Verona screamed as she gripped Siana’s neck tightly. “Your family had ruined everything for me and for my ancestors. And you being the current royalty, deserve a torturous death.” Her voice got scarier with each second. “S…stop…” Siana whispered in a weak voice as she held onto Verona’s arms, trying her best to pull onto them but all her efforts were in vain. “No, bitch!” The force of her hands increased and Siana’s hand banged against the wall. Siana gasped for air as she started to suffocate and gripped Verona’s arms tighter. While doing so, her hands pierced into Verona’s paper-white skin, and dark maroon blood flowed out of them in no time falling onto Siana’s fingertips.Verona had no time to notice that in her fit of anger but this was exactly what Siana wanted. She needed her blood to get what she wanted. “V, I think you’re going a bit too far…she needs to be alive till we get what we need…” Chloe whispered from a distance as she herself was sca

    “I hope this day goes well…” Siana said as she looked in the mirror. She saw a thin figure wearing a black pair of jeans with a white shirt tucked in it. A puffy denim jacket was placed over it and it had her brown hair resting lightly over it. She sighed deeply as she placed her bag on her shoulder. “Wish me good luck, Kai.” She whispered before she closed the door and locked the apartment. Kai meowed once and turned into a human as soon as the door closed. “I wish you good luck Siana.” He whispered back as he waved his hand at the closed door. “Let’s see if they make a move today.” Siana turned towards the other end of the hallway and there was a sly smile on her face. Siana had not seen Verona for a few days and things had been pretty calm in the college. However, that day she had a strong feeling that something was about to go down and that was making her nervous for no reason. The day was going okay for starters but the whole day she kept having this feeling that somebody wa

  • Princess or Prey?   Chapter: Verona and Siana's backstory 2
