The car stopped in front of her house. Bellezza wished it was far from this street and they would have driven further. Spending time with Erebos was really fun and she was getting used to him.
It's was dark already. She needed to come down from the car and go to the house but she didn't. Erebos was checking his pocket all through. It seemed they lost something that was of important to him.
"What's wrong Erebos?"
"I think I lost my house keys but don't worry" he said.
"How will you get to the house if there are no keys?"
"My cousin is at home, don't worry" he came down from the car and went to where she was, he opened the door for her.
This was one of the things Bellezza loved about him. Being a gentle man or better still the ladies man.
"Come here," he said holding her hand as she came down from the car.
"What happened Erebos" she almost laughed. His touch tickled her.
He didn't answer. Rather he wrapped his left hands around her waist and said "how about a French Kiss?"
Bellezza felt like melting right in his arms. Her heart was pounding heavily in chest, she was sure he could hear it beat. Instead of saying no to the kiss, she stood there without uttering a word.
There, it happened. Erebos brought his mouth closer and their lips met. And slowly he sucked her tongue. Bellezza couldn't breath at the moment and yet, she was alive.
She closed her eyes and allowed the rest of the world to pass her by. But it's didn't. The kiss stopped and Erebos pushed her away immediately. May be she did something wrong.
Bellezza was about to apologized but Erebos said it first " am sorry Bellezza, am leaving"
"You don't have to be sorry," she said. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she tried to stop him from going. But it seemed his mind was already made up, he entered his car and started driving away.
Erebos drove with full speed disobeying all the traffic rules and regulations. He didn't believe that he was flirting with a girl old enough to be great grand daughter. He took advantage of the whole situation, by deceiving her.
When he kissed her, his fangs came out of his mouth and they almost pierced her neck. It took only the grace of God for saving Bellezza's life today. Thank goodness he left immediately.
Bellezza must be feeling bad right now, but he had no choice, for everything that happens in life has a reason. Then he remembered what happened in the garden. It didn't make any sense to as to why he couldn't compel Bellezza.
He, Erebos... Was an original, the only son to the first vampire king Darius. He could compel all humans including vampires. So why was it different with Bellezza?
Long time ago, when vampires first came to Earth. The Humans rejected the vampires because they feed on them. The humans began to look for ways to kill them and with the help of some witches, they found a solution in no time. Some of the ways of killing vampires were driving a stake through his heart, keeping him in a room full of garlic and lastly, dragging a day walker(as the humans will call) into the sun. That's was one of the fastest way to kill them-sun.
In order to make a human forget that He had ever seen a vampire, he was compel. Just few seconds eye contact for experts , you be compel to do anything for a vampire. Some were asked to forget their whole lives, family, to kill a person or their selves etc. the day walkers were creepy, scary and dangerous creatures.
Erebos hardly compel his prey. He enjoyed when they struggled and begged for mercy. This actually gave him more appetite to drain the blood out of their bodies. Many vampires did the other way round by silencing their victims. He wondered how Earth they enjoyed such drink.
Now, that he was sure that Bellezza was not a supernatural, he could go ahead and take the necklace from her when next they meet. Had it been she was one, Bellezza would have understood what he trying to do earlier. Two- she would have reacted in her true form. But Bellezza didn't do anything like that rather she screamed like a normal girl would do in such situations.
In no time, he got home. As usual Sam and Vanessa was waiting for him. It seemed like they have become very lazy and they made him do all the work for them. But not any more. By tomorrow, every one will carry out their duties accordingly.
"Welcome home darling" his girlfriend hugged him.
"Vanessa he said, sweeping her off her feet. She laughed hard, a laugh that made him loved her the more
"You seem so happy, what happened?" She asked. Vanessa was about to kissed him when she saw a mark on his cheeks. It's was not just mark but a pick lipstick. She hit his chest hard and broken free from his hold.
"What's wrong with you baby?" He was confused why her mood changed at once.
"I should be asking you that, Flirt" she said.
Erebos looked at Sam to see if knew what was happening but he shook his head. Sam had no idea.
"What's up Vanessa? Tell us" Sam chimmed in.
"You should ask your brother" she yelled. I don't mean anything to him. He keeps me locked up in here just for sex, apart from that am nobody to Erebos son of Darius."
"Why would you say that for crying out loud" Erebos asked bitterly. Vanessa was a dramatic vampire, she loved creating dramas when there was nothing play.
"You are acting innocent like you don't know" She said with hands akimbo. "Pray that bi**ch isn't a human I won't let her see tomorrow."
"When you done, please explain this act to me. Am going upstairs" Erebos removed his black jacket and hanged it on the wall closed to the entrance door. He started making his way up stairs before, Vanessa stopped him with her scream.
"You are cheating on me again" she went on her knees. Erebos hates to see her like this but she was irritating him with this act of hers.
"Please tell us what he did" Sam pleaded.
"There is a lipstick on his cheeks" she started sobbing again.
Sam looked at his brother's face and when he saw the stain, he couldn't hold his laughter. Vanessa was right the whole time, this was going to be funny because Erebos would claim that it's was from an old lady that he helped.
Erebos used his hands to check and when he brought one of his fingers down, he saw the mark that Bellezza gave him. This was bad, he wondered how come he didn't noticed until now.
"Am sorry Vanessa I can explain this..."
"You always explain it" Sam interrupted.
"Don't make this matter, worse than it looks Sam"
"Sorry bro. Leaving you guys to solve your relationship- that's if you continue with it. I don't see any hope after this mess you have..." Erebos threw a knife at him before he could finish his last sentence. It landed on Sam's left arm and all he could say was "I hate you bro."
With his primal powers He dashed to his room leaving the two lovers down stairs to battle with their problems.
