Semua Bab Alpha's Bargain, Luna's curse : Bab 51 - Bab 60

Chapter 52 . . . Carmilla I could clearly see his eyes, as the distance between us was short. "Aren't you tired of costing us so many lives?" He asked. My heart jumped. Yes, yes. I was tired. That was why I gave up on the ruthless quest. That I'd why we are living our lives quietly here. I wanted to explain these things. If I knew what the stuff was, I would have hurriedly given it up, but I barely had memories of my father, let alone memories of him telling to keep something a secret. Was that the secret Evans thought I kept away from him as well? 'does that mean they are all working together?' I shivered. Jethro dropped the knife and sighed. "You had better put an end to this soon." He said, and took his leave. My soul left my body for a moment. When Jethro left, I felt a surge of life again. I walked out of the water; dragging my feet in the sand underneath. ********************************************************* I managed to return to the room unnot

Chapter 54 . . . Carmilla My hand remained fixed on my thigh and would barely move. I lifted my left hand to take the spoon. "Carmilla." He called, moving his chair backwards to give space to stand up. Immediately he approached me, he raised my hand forcefully and pulled the sleeve up to my shoulder. I didn't realise my condition had worsened. The lower arm was already red and swollen. He looked at me, then at Brenda. "Why didn't you tell me?" He asked. "I...it's nothing serious." I liked, pulling my sleeve to cover the hand entirely. Brenda who was sitting at the opposite side looked genuinely worried. "It is part of the battle scars." Brenda finally spoke. "You should have been gentle." He glared at her. "I'm sorry..." She bent her head, and I felt pity for her. "It's fine." I picked the spoon with my left hand. "There is a reason hands come in pairs." I joked. No one bought the joke except Brenda. She hid her chuckles when she noticed no one wa

Chapter 56 . . . Carmilla Oh shoot! I also just discovered that his wife and my mother knew eachother quite well! C'mon!!! "I do not mind if you misunderstand me, okay." I equally yelled. "I also just found out when Cole gave me the box." "Cole? How many times do I have to tell you...." He was saying before I cut in. "That you do not want to have anything to do with Cole?" I scoffed and exhaled angrily. "Oh yes!" He ran his fingers through his head. We both had the same energy towards this confrontation. "When would you understand this whole mess? When would you be able to identify who is for you?" My voice became softer, hiding minute sobs. "When would you be able to pinpoint who your real enemies are?" I said the last statement in a near whisper. "I do not..." He was replying again, and I interrupted. "You do not care...I understand." There was a well-spelt tone of betrayal in my voice. "Then, do not ask further!" I glared at him. He nodded fast, grow

CHAPTER 58 . . . Evans With my bare chest and black shorts, I went straight to the dining area. “Why?” I glared at him. “Easy…” Cole feigned fear. “It was a harmless request.” He defended. “It’s fine. It belongs to me.” Carmilla interrupted. “I see no reason you should interfere into this.” She looked up at me. Her expression stern, as though she had made a decision to hand it to him. This made me even more furious, but I barely had a choice. I heard Cole kiss his teeth. With a wave of his hand, he hissed. “I was only briefly interested. Do not be bothered, Luna.” He took another bite, while locking eyes with me. A wave of relief flushed through me, like I had held my breath far too long. I sat across Carmilla, digging anxiously into my meal in my very own house. “You know, there’s a lot I’m curious about.” Carmilla said, mouthful, whilst struggling to eat with one hand. “I don’t mind giving it for a research. I just want it returned in perfect condition.”

CHAPTER 60 . . . Carmilla I separated our lips, staring into his eyes. “Can we take this slow?” I whispered, unsure of what I wanted. He nodded and went back to resting on his back. “I just find you irresistible.” His voice was in a near whisper. I wanted to ask a list of questions: ‘how am I irresistible?’ ‘Do you just find me attractive, or you love me?’ ‘If you love me, then how do we explain what is going on with Brenda?’ I shoved the thoughts aside and allowed my mind wander elsewhere; nowhere in particular. ******************************************************************************* After a few minutes, we both made our way back to the room and had our dinner in awkward silence, then took turns to have our night bath. I prepared both beds and laid on my bed before Evans was out of the bathroom. The dim light gave me the leverage to steal a peak at him while he carefully slid into his pants without giving me a view of what I was not supposed to get a
