CHAPTER 31...CarmillaAs I loosened the grip of the plastic hand, Evans's eyes still lingered on it, his face pale. "It's just plastic," I reassured him, trying to hide a smile. "It's not real."He looked up at me, relief washing over his features. "I know, I know," he said, nervously. "I just...got caught up in the moment."I nodded, understanding. "Let's keep moving," I suggested, tugging on his hand. "We don't want to get left behind.As we walked further, the lights flickered, and a sudden gust of wind blew made the room ghostly. Evans's grip on my hand tightened."I didn't expect this" he whispered, his voice low and husky.I felt a shiver run down my spine as he pulled me closer. I was equally frightened, but I tried to shrug it off."Just Child's play." I whispered back, sounding sarcastic.Suddenly, a faint whispering started around us, the words were unfathomable. Evans's arm wrapped around my waist, holding me tight. I felt a rush of emotion.The whispering stopped, and

CHAPTER 33.. .Carmilla She looked puzzled. Of course, there was a masked man running frantically out of my room with small droplets of blood dripping from somewhere, she was expected to be shocked. But, I was satisfied because this is the third most powerful fighter in the park. Regardless of who this man may be, he cannot stand her blows.Well, I was so disappointed to see Brenda step back. She gave him quite a distance and stood aloof while he sprinted out the corridor. She neither chased him nor yelled at him. I stood up immediately, in an attempt to run out, at least to see where he was heading to, but Brenda wrapped her arms around me, pulling me to a hug. “Are you okay?” she asked. I nodded. Okay…this was weird, but I shrugged it off, because Brenda was being so nice to me. Super nice huh!I pulled myself out of her arms and shook my head. I was still in just a towel, and its grip was starting to look loose. I hurried back into the room with Brenda following me. “I’m fin

CHAPTER 35...Carmilla “Are you off to dinner?” I asked. He looked uneasy. I never imagined that the almighty Jethro would be shy around me. Perhaps, have I found someone who sees me as a woman?“Yeah.” He replied. ”Shall we?” He asked, opening his hands for me to place mine in such a way that we locked hands. We walked down the corridor towards the ballroom. Two men parted the door open as we approached. The wind within the room gushed with very cold wind which penetrated my skin, as the dress I wore barely covered my back. We unanimously chose a space to sit. Within minutes of sitting, I scanned the room and identified everyone. Some faces were beginning to look familiar to me. A server arrived, carrying along with him a small tray of colored drinks which I assumed to be wine. Actually, it was wine. I gestured to be served, and the guy hurriedly did. Jethro also had a cup as well. The rest of the party was introduction of people who I never met in my whole life. Afterwhich t

CHAPTER 37...Carmilla I rolled farther from him, creating a distance between us.“I wasn’t.” I struggled to find my voice.Evans nodded, while pushing the pillow upwards to lean on. “About what happened last night” I interrupted this time. “I know you didn’t mean it. You were…”“Shhhhhhh” he placed his finger on my mouth, reminding me about last night.“It was bound to happen.” he said. “You do not expect a hot-blooded man to resist such a beauty.” He completed the statement with his gaze on my lips.I never had any idea that Evans found me attractive in any way. Besides, was it possible to have feelings for Brenda and I at the same time?“You are not sure about this.” I said, getting off the bed. I heard him sigh loudly.I still had Brenda’s issue to resolve. Firstly, I must confirm that the letter was sent before her memory was erased. Secondly, I must find out what exactly the price is for my secret. I barely had an idea on what the secret was all about. I shrugged off the q

CHAPTER 39 . . . Carmilla Throughout the trip, I ensured I had Katrina sit beside me. Although she looked out of danger, I was still bothered about even the slightest sign of weakness from her. I don’t know how I grew to love and cherish this lady in just a short while. Brenda took a spot behind me, trying to act friendly while Jethro remained mute and sleepy. I wondered why I never suspected Jethro all along. Cole and Evans still gossiped and laughed heartily over talks that didn’t actually sound funny from my view. Imagine laughing at a warrior who had his lower torso pierced with a spear during a battle! Wasn’t funny at all! As we pulled up at the Alpha’s residence, stirring dust as the tires reversed to take a spot at the car park. Two ladies ran towards us and helped take our stuff from the boot. I heard Evans instruct a man to drop Brenda, Cole and Jethro at their residence. He expressed that he was worn out from the trip and would like to rest. Everything was
