We were in Andrew's home, he always lives alone and doesn't reveal anything about his family, I don't want to pry so I just keep quiet.
"Go and freshen up, pick anything from my closet to wear" he said while typing furiously on his phone, his brows drawn together as his jaw was set in hard. I gulped, he's serious, I've never seen him so serious.
"Ok" I whispered as I walked up to his room, I stripped out of my clothes and had a short shower, I walked into the closet and chose a grey shirt which read 'Sorry I'm late I didn't want to come' it came down till my knees, every guy around me is so huge that their clothes consume me. I put my hair in a rough bun as I wore the unicorn slippers, yes, he has unicorn slippers, he bought it for me but I didn't get the chance to wear them. I walked downstairs and saw him sitting on the couch in the living area, his face had a serious expression as he rested his elbows on his knees while fisting his hands together, his eyes were set on the table in front of him. I licked my dry lips and walked towards the couch and sat beside him, it was night already as we sat by the fireplace, the crunchy melodious sound of the logs burning evaded the silence. I looked at him and saw him in deep thoughts,
"What were you doing there?" He finally broke the silence as his eyes found mine. His eyes which were normally warm were now stone cold reminding me the gravity of the situation. I scratched my forehead out if nervousness as I turned towards him,
"Andrew, I....I don't know so much about them...I found it myself yesterday"
"Tell me whatever you know"
I sighed deeply as I said
"There are supernatural creatures like vampires and all, they all do exist, but they are just a part of the chain, they are all ruled by white souls and black souls, they are all dangerously powerful..." I stopped not gathering enough courage to say further.
"And?" He asked
"Andrew, let's just stop--"
"And?" he repeated in a slightly angry tone.
"And...I'm a black soul"
"You...are a black soul?"
I nodded as I looked at the fire place, knowing that this sounds crazy and he wouldn't believe me, I mean no sane person would believe this crazy reality.
"So your dad and mom are black souls?"
"Dad is a black soul"
"And your mom?"
"She was a white soul"
"Oh!" he said as if he had solved a mystery, I rose my brow at him.
"Are you sure this is real?" He asked
I sighed, knowing that he wasn't believing and I wasn't expecting him to believe it.
"Yes" I said
"I believe you,Cora" he said
My brows shot up while he only gave me a warm smile, his eyes returning back to their hazel colour.
"How?" I asked
"How?" He asked with a teasing smile
"I mean, why?" I asked genuinely confused
"Because my dear Cora, you don't really lie...and you're too innocent to pull a prank on me with these things"
I was shocked at his words, a smile fought it's way on my lips, he's a true friend, my best friend. I pulled him into a hug, he wrapped his hands around my waist, I rested my head on his broad chest as I closed my eyes.
"Thank you Andrew" I said truthfully
"What for?" He asked as he caressed the back of my head,
"For believing me"
"I'd always believe you because I trust you"
Those words warmed my heart as I smiled more.
"You stink" I lied
"I do?" He asked as he broke the hug and tried to smell his underarms, I couldn't help but laugh at him, he looked at me and asked
"So you're not so innocent huh?"
I chuckled and shook my head, he stood up and said
"I'll go take shower, there should be something in the fridge"
"I'll look into it" I said as I stood up and walked towards the kitchen, as he said, there was food in the fridge, I warmed it up and kept it on the dining table, then I took two plates from the cupboards and spoons as I kept them on the table too, followed by glasses and jug of water. My eyes involuntarily looked up to find Andrew staring at me with a smile while leaning on the door frame. I frowned but smiled in confusion, he gave me a toothy grin as he sat on the table.
'.....A dream come true....I want this to happen for forever'
I frowned at him, he didn't say anything, but that voice was like Andrew's.
"Why do you want this to happen for forever?" I asked
He looked at me shocked, his eyes widened as his cheeks turned pink.
"Be-because I'm hungry?" He asked
It wasn't convincing but I let it go and sat on my seat, we had food in silence, he collected the plates and placed them in the dishwasher.
'I know you can hear me, I'm coming'
Goosebumps rose on my skin, the hair at the back of my neck stood up as chills went down my spine, I shivered.
"Cora?" Andrew's voice bright me out of the daze, I suddenly started feeling cold, my throat went dry as my heart started racing. Prince Amadeus, it was him, I don't know how but I recognise his voice all too well.
"Cora?" Andrew shook my shoulders.
"Huh?" I asked as I looked at his worried face.
"What is it?"
"I..."
I can't tell him, he'll probably get worried, he's already going through A lot for me without knowing, I mean ,I dragged him into this mess and I can't risk him anymore.
"Nothing" I said as I looked away
"Don't lie Cora, it's ok if you don't wanna say, you can tell me later when you feel comfortable about it"
I sighed a relief, I hate to keep it from him but I don't want to pull him in the danger.
