Chapter 20 - Chapter 19- Soulmate 4

Another night, Valeria slept in Kareen's room which Hubert didn't like at all. Every time Hubert asked her if she was ok her reply was always a 'yes, I am'. They kept practicing at a secret spot Hubert chose and cast a spell on so that others wouldn't find out. She wanted to tell him about her scary nights but she knew Hubert would react in a way that she didn't wanna think about.

There was even a time he complained about her sleeping with Kareen, so she ended up sleeping in his room for two nights telling him that she just didn't want to sleep alone anytime he asked her why she slept in Kareen's room.

One night Valeria decided to face her fear, she took a knife in her hand as she covered herself with the blanket in wait for the night creature. Not long after she fell asleep the creature appeared and walked up to her, admiring her sleeping face with so much affection.

Giving her neck a hard stare, it wanted to run it's fangs into her delicate skin in order to make her his by leaving a mark. It's eyes turned dark red as his demon resurfaced, inching closer to her, it wanted to mark her when her eyes suddenly popped open to it's shock and without wasting time she used her knife to quickly cut the creature's left cheek to it's amazement and it retreated not out of pain, but with caution.

Valeria sat up and quickly jumped out of bed as she moved back in fear at the shiny dark red bloody eyes.

"What do you want from me? Why are you after me? Please let me be...I have nothing to offer." She lamented as tears clouded her eyes but didn't fall. The room then turned extremely cold and its eyes switched to dark shiny blue like hers which drew her full attention and she shivered at its intense gaze before disappearing.

Valeria's eyes widened as it darted from left to right, up and down before calming her racing heart. Moving slowly in the dark room, she quickly turned on her lamp as she kept looking around for any threat. She carefully sat on her bed with her eyes and ears alert as she kept watch throughout the night.

The next morning, Valeria was found fast asleep without the care of the world. Hubert strode up to her as he carefully sat on her bed which sank in before caressing her beautiful black hair.

And to his amazement, she opened her eyes and nearly cut him with a knife in her hand. Stopping halfway close to his neck, she gasped in shock and the knife fell from her hand.

"Oh my God! Hubert! Am so sorry." She apologized while Hubert was still trying to understand why she had a knife with her.

"Are you threatened Valeria?" He questioned with her full name and she knew he was serious. She looked away, trying to find the right words.

"Don't lie Val, I knew something was not right when all of a sudden you decided to sleep in Kareen's room before mine...what's the matter? Did anyone come to your room?" Facing him with tear filled eyes, she confessed.

"Its a night creature, an ice cold creature which comes only at night to scare me...it to-touched me twice..."

"Touched you?" Hubert asked to be sure and she nodded as a tear slide down her cheek.

"Sorry, sorry I wasn't there for you."

"Don't be Hubert, you didn't know, its my fault." Hugging her as he tried to console her in silence, he was in deep thought.

"Describe this creature Val?" Taking a deep breath, she described.

"It had red eyes and i couldn't see its figure, its like shadow...a-and last night, its red eyes turned blue...it makes my room very cold." Staring into space, he tried to solve the puzzle, his brain then hit a jackpot.

"Did you say blue eyes?!"

"Yes, I did." Answered Valeria confused. Scrunching his eyebrows he dived into the world of maybes and maybe not till he got a clue. Standing up with speed he quickly left Valeria's room and headed for the living room.

Following Hubert with a confused look Valeria was shocked at what he did next. With anger Hubert pushed Everand against a nearby wall and the glass of juice he was holding fell down and broke into many pieces. One hand round his neck while the other holding his shoulder.

"What do you think you're doing Everand?" Everand stared calmly at the angry Hubert with an eyebrow raised.

"And what do you think I did HUBERT?!" He stressed and it irritated Hubert the more.

"Oh! You don't know? Or should I smash your head against this wall to make you recall?"
