In the evening she was able to wrap up her work and walked toward Lucia's house. Yes, it was her off day but what else she was supposed to do. So, she went to John's office to clean the dust and was now walking towards her best friend's house, which was in the middle of the town.
Reaching her home she took a sharp U-turn and went towards the back of the house. She knew if Lucia's mother would freak out at this time. It was strange for her, how her mom freak out if she see any down-class person with her daughter.
Walking towards the back door she felt she was under someone's eyes. Which was weird, someone eyeing her? Her? No, No. Brushing away the thought she quickly moved her feet. She was about to open the wooden door when she saw an elderly lady coming out of the door with a lot of bags in her hand.
She felt uneasy already and the expression the lady gave her did no more damage. Moving forward she entered the house, closing the door behind her.
Slowly reaching the stairs she found all the workers were in the dining room, maybe setting everything up. She quickly went upstairs not to get caught by Lucia's mother and get an earful.
Reaching up, she moved towards the left side where Lucia's room was at the very end. But after three steps she felt shivers running down her spine as she felt that again.
Felt like someone was giving her a hard eye. She could feel the presence not too close. She swiftly looked back. But the other side of the hallway was dark. No lights were on so she couldn't see anyone.
After glaring in the dark for some time she did the one thing a sane human would do. She ran fast towards Lucia's room without looking back. She just looked back when she had to close and lock the door behind her.
Lucia: "Why do you look like you saw walking bamboo in the hall?" She gasped hearing her best friend's voice. Lucia was standing in the bathroom, her head full of shampoo looking out towards her.
Eleanor: "Your house is not better than a graveyard. There is so much sinister air in this place."
Lucia: "Well, mom is not that devil-looking." She said moved back, not bothering to close the door at all.
Eleanor: "You are a bad child Luu." She knew Lucia would not give away any chance to talk about her mother's appearance.
Lucia: "Yeah! Am I a bad child if I am trying to peek on my husband to be from the morning but that basta..."
Eleanor: "Lu! Do not say that. And he must be with your father."
Lucia: "Well, he is not. They went straight to their rooms after meeting my father. Only their Master Zeya is with my father doing the talk."
Eleanor: "Talk about what?" She couldn't stop herself from asking what was making her stomach itch from time to time.
Lucia: "Unfortunately father is giving some money to vampires and providing them old humans to save young ones."
Before she could process her words she saw Lucia coming out in only her towel. Eleanor made sure to turn away while her best friend was changing. Lucia was the type who would always change in the bedroom.
Eleanor: "What you are saying is a lot you know that!"
Lucia: "It is as it is. I didn't know that my father would do something so stupid. Master Zeya was saying he would take his seat."
Lucia: "Oh I might be mistakenly hearing. I wanted to stop I promise. But in the start, it was just a list of illegal stuff he did but in the end when I was thinking of going back but while I was turning back I heard their all conversation. Yeah.." She was mumbling and making everything in front of me just to convince me that she didn't do anything bad, which was pretty obvious.
Eleanor: "Stop being naked in front of me. Put on something and get ready, it's late you must reach at dinner on time." She was tired of seeing her friend moving naked around, who was still not in the mood to put something on.
Lucia: "Relax darling, we will go on time. You go and take bath, I will get your dress out.." She said putting moisturizer on her feet, massaging them slowly.
Eleanor: "What do you mean us?" Oh no, she was not saying what I thought she was going to. It never happened in my life that Lucia won't get me in any trouble. She liked it when anyone would dare to say something to me and she would kick their butt.
Lucia: "Let's cut the shit and listen to me without gasping. You, my little kitten will come with me to the dining and have this feisty dinner. Now close your mouth and go clean yourself."
And without hearing my any other word she pushed me into the bath. In the bath, I couldn't think about anything but coming face to face with dangerous people. I was one of those who would avoid going near these types of people, powerful people always create trouble.
But I also get that day was not the lucky day for me to escape.

She was moving too slowly. Looking around, noticing her surrounding. what caught him in looking at her? it was her long ginger hair and her aura. It was not like everyone else had. It was something between innocent and feisty looking. without knowing I moved outside when I saw her entering the house from the backdoor.
she was moving too quietly like hiding from someone. But she knew where she was going. Her long braid was moving swiftly behind her.
she was going towards Lucia's room when she turned around looking at my side. I couldn't help but collected her feature from close, zoning in on her face. she couldn't see me but it was obvious she got a strong sense. I couldn't help but be amused at how she ran away quickly.
I do remember hearing her voice for the first time. Her voice was so sweet, wondering how a human can speak this sweetly. For the first time, I forgot to turn around. For the first time, I was not able to sense someone else behind my back.
I faced him, masking my expressions which I never bothered before.
Zale: "You must decide tonight." Before I could respond I again heard her. It was strange for me to notice only one voice, focusing only on her.
Without glancing at Zale I move towards my room. shutting the door on Zale's last words.
Zale: "She can be the one."
I knew I had to decide something, soon as possible. It was important for Master.
I couldn't understand why suddenly it was the most important thing to do. Others could do a better job in it, but I was a question mark for myself.
