Shira Pov:
I think I have find a way to locate that vampire nemesis. I said after dinner as we decided to talk at Alfred's room. We don't want to have anyone listening in our conversation.
That is a good one. You keep coming up with new name for that vampire person. The fact that she looks like you, I bet you don't feel good about that for real. I know I won't.
Lance this is not the place nor the time for such not so funny jokes. This is a serious matter that needs to be taken seriously. Alfred said in an irritated tone.
Sister already said she found a way to locate her. That is already a win. I have been too serious for days now, it is killing me. You both know I hate anything serious.
Lance please stop. She is trying to say something here, just let us listen. Like I said this is not the time nor the place for jokes.
Why are you being cranky. Okay I will stop. You need to chill. That person will surely be having a blast if she could see us this affected by her.
I get your point brother. I know that you hate this situation. I also know it is your coping mechanism to joke when things are too complicated. You trying to lighten the mood and I appreciate that but i need you to listen to me now. We need to find a way out of this situation before it becomes chaos.
I can locate her but I have to be in a near proximity. I cannot feel her here and that is good because that means she is not here in White haven.
So I think I need to journey to both the Grimly Kingdom and the Moving Mountain kingdom. If she is there I will be able to feel and locate her.
Lance you will be coming with me. Alfred you should be here to look after things. Let us hope everything goes well.
Lance, To answer your earlier question, of course I don't feel good. This face is suppose to be a one of a kind. And the fact that I share it with someone like her. I wish I can scratch that face off her.
I have been thinking of that since morning. She could be your doppelgänger. There is no way she could be your twin. If you were to be a twin and Father and Mother gave her away at birth. That is a crazy theory I know but just saying even if that is the case. Father and Mother would not have hidden it from us right?
Leave it to Lance to come up with crazy theories. So Lance let us for a minute pretend that the theory of yours is not crazy, how are you going to explain the vampire part. Does that mean Father is a vampire, I mean she should only get that from one of the family right. Or wait does that mean we are all Vampires. I said raising my brows.
Crazy right. I also thought about that. What if we are also Vampires but it lying dormant. We just need something to trigger that side of us. Parent keep things from their children all the time don't you think.
Oh! Is that right? Note the sacarsm. So why not let us test this crazy theory of yours. Should I bring you blood, that could trigger your Vampire side. I heard Vampires have a thing for blood.
Please you both should stop with this ridiculous theories. And Shira do not tempt Lance. You know he is a daredevil, do not put ideas in his head. Alfred said.
It is true. I am fully aware of how daring Lance could be. It should be fun to see him try. Although I did not say that out loud. I hate to see Alfred go crazy on me. Maybe we could test it out on our journey.
Shira don't you dare! I heard Alfred shout while giving me a knowing look.
Brother What? I asked acting as though I don't know the reason behind his words.
Shira, I do not need to read your mind to know what you are thinking. I could read mischief all over your face. You both should be on your best behavior on your journey. Try and lay low as much as possible and not raise suspicion. Alfred warned.
Yes your highness. Lance said with a bow. We your subject will heed your warning. So since we will not be seeing each other for a while. We should do a group hug.
Lance don't be weird. Group hug my foot. You both have a goodnight. I will be retiring to my room now, as we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow. I suggest that you do the same, I said leaving the room.
Zozo what do you think, since we will not be around for a while, I think it will be a good idea to water the garden and also meditate till the morning.
Master that is not a bad idea, it will keep us energized. We need to be in our best shape for this journey.
**************************************************************************************************
I spent the night meditating in the sacred garden and it was well worth it. I feel very ready for the journey ahead. I cannot wait to see Damien and officially meet his parent. It was only my parent that gave their blessing at our engagement. I can now meet his parent on a more cordial term, and we could both seek their blessing. I don't care if they are against our union though. Damien is mine.
I have met his parent on several occasions but I barely spoke to them. mostly due to the way they treat my Damien. I do not know why they had turned their back on him. But whoever treat my friend badly can't also be in my good grace. I could not even pretend to act nicely towards them. Alfred and Lance could keep it business as usual so they were the ones that deals with them whenever they had to come together.
But since they had decided to make amends, that seem like a walk towards the right direction. I hope they will be good to my Damien. The last time I saw him he seem very distraught, I hope it is all sorted now.
Shira, we are ready to leave. What is keeping you so long. Lance said barging inside my room.
You and your bad habit. Always barging in Instead of knocking. Anyway as you can see am ready. Let's leave now. Where is Alfred?
He is waiting outside. He is the one that ask me to fetch you since you are taking too long to come out.
Alright we can leave now. Pelow you should come out of the shadow now or you prefer to run after the carriage?.
You and your tasteless jokes. Lance said with a stifled laugh. He burst out laughing when he could not hold it any longer.
Pelow you also found it hilarious right? I asked facing the smiling Pelow. This is the first time seeing him with any expression on his face. I guess he likes tasteless jokes as well.
I just want you to also sit comfortably in the carriage. When we get to Grimly Kingdom then you can go into the shadows. I think it will be wise you keep yourself concealed. We should not always keep all our cards in plain sight right? I said as we leave the room.
