ETERNAL SHADOWS ~~ CASTLE
Ava opened the bedroom door and walked into it before going to the restroom.
Lucian was downstairs sitting on the chair with eyes closed. He was still angry and had it been Ava didn't hold him back, he would have ended Rina right there.
Ava came down wearing a black oversized t shirt and a black bum short.
"Hubby!" She called and he opened his eyes.
They were red already.
She sat on the table in front of him and he stared at her.
"Could you please calm down?" She asked and he just stared at her.
"Please!!!!" She pleaded but he still wasn't calm.
She then thought of something and smiled before leaning close to him.
She kissed his cheek and his eyes grew wide for a second before it went back to normal.
She smiled.
"Smile for me!" She said, his eyes went back to normal.
"Or do you want me to frustrate you?!" She whispered wiggling her brows.
He rolled his eyes and she smiled.
"My hubby is cutee!" She said and stood.
"Do you still plan on going to work?" He asked.
"Do you want me to go?" Ava asked with a smirk and Lucian scoffed.
"It's a yes or no answer!"
"Same as you hubby!"
"I told you not to....yunno what, do whatever you want!" He said and she laughed.
"Good boy!!" She said rubbing his head and then she remembered something.
"You were jealous this morning!" She said with a smirk and he smirked.
"I wasn't jealous, I was making sure he doesn't fall for my wife. It doesn't mean I was jealous!" He said and stood.
She smiled standing as well.
"I guess I'll go back to the restaurant, they'll definitely need my help!"
"Okay!" He said and he sped upstairs before coming back down with a blue baggy jean.
"Put this on!" He said and she smiled before taking it fro him. She wore it on top of the bum short and she smiled.
"Let's go hubby!" She said and he groaned.
They left the house and he sped them out of the castle, out of Garberville and into the city. He stopped and they walked to the restaurant which was not that far.
"If I get enough pay, I'm buying a motorcycle!!" Ava gushed happily.
"What's that?" He asked and just then someone who was riding a motorcycle passed by them speedily.
"That's a motorcycle, ain't it cool?" She asked and he nodded.
They arrived at the restaurant and Jason rushed to her wanting to hold her hand but Lucian stepped forward.
"Any problem?" He asked and Jason ignored him before facing Ava.
"Are you okay now?" Jason asked.
"Yes thanks for asking!" She replied.
Merlin came and her eyes brightened.
"Ava dear!" She said and rushed to give her a hug which Ava reciprocated before breaking the hug.
"Jason said you got injured, are you okay now?" She asked and Ava nodded.
"Yes ma'am, am okay and strong!!" Ava said with a smile.
"Thank goodness!" She muttered.
"I'll go put on my apron now and get back to work!" She said and Lucian nodded.
She walked past the table where the man was and he stared at her back side.
He and his wife actually left before buh he secretly came back because of Ava.
Lucian saw him and his gaze darkened.
"Do you want anything to eat sir?" Merlin asked.
He looked back at her and simply shook his head.
"I'll take my leave!" He said and Ava turned to look at him when she got to the door of the kitchen.
"Bye hubby!" She said and blew a kiss to him.
He waved at her before exiting the restaurant. Jason stared at the man's retreating figure before going to meet Ava who just entered the kitchen.
"Heyy Chloee!! Did you miss me?" She asked rubbing her shoulders with Chloe.
"At all!" Chloe said and Ava laughed before tying her apron.
"Are you sure you should still be at work? You were injured, so shouldn't you be resting?!" Chloe asked.
"I'm okay now don't worry!" Ava smiled and Jason came to Ava.
"You sure?"
"For the millionth time, yess!" She said and Jason smiled.
"Let's go and get the orders of the customers!" He said and she nodded. They both walked out of the kitchen and the man called for Ava.
She frowned before walking to him.
"What would you like to eat?" She asked faking a smile.
"You!" He whispered and her eyes widened.
She smirked.
"There's no you in the menu. Do you need glasses sir?" She asked.
"No I mean I want you!" He whispered licking his lips.
"And I repeat, there's nothing called you in the menu. Look over it again sir and when you've decided, you'll call for me!" She said and smiled before leaving.
The man frowned and thought of something. He smirked before leaving the restaurant.
"He's disgusting!" She muttered to herself before getting the order of the woman in front of her.
She went back to Chloe and gave her the order.
"Chloe! I wanna tell you something!" She said.
"Am busy!"
"Please just hear me out!" She said and Chloe groaned before facing her.
"There's a man who was acting all stupid this afternoon, ion like the fact that he keeps coming here!" She said and Chloe stared at her with a blank expression.
Ava looked at her and her eyes widened stepping back.
"What?!"
"The next time I see him Chloe, I promise I'll make him pay!" Ava said and Chloe sighed.
"He can shut down this restaurant and I don't want that to happen so just don't do anything!"
"He almost had his way with you didn't he?" Ava asked and Chloe's eyes widened.
'How did she know?!' She thought.
'She's a werewolf, duhh!' Ava's subconscious mind replied and Ava chuckled.
"He didn't! Stop saying nonsense!" Chloe said with a frown and gave her the food to go and serve.
"That's the reason why you don't leave the kitchen at all. You were once a waitress and then he secretly almost did that to you. You told Miss Merlin but she couldn't do anything since with the resources he had, he could shut down the restaurant and won't even go to jail!" Ava said and Chloe just stared at the girl in front of her.
"I'mma end him when next I see him Chloe. He's an animal and people like him, needs to suffer!" Ava said with a deep frown and she left the kitchen.
Chloe sighed tears welling up in her eyes. She blinked them back before continuing to make her meal.
8PM ~~
Miss Merlin closed the job and bade goodbye to them before leaving.
Chloe looked at Ava who still had a frown on her face..
"Ava!" Chloe called and Ava looked at her.
"Smile!" She said and Ava couldn't help but smile.
"You're prettier like that. Bye guys!" She waved at them before leaving.
Ava smiled before facing Jason.
"Shall we?" He asked bringing out his palm.
She looked at his palm and thought for a second before placing her hand on his.
He was about to speed off when Lucian sped to them. Jason frowned when he came and Lucian just stared at him.
"Let's go home dear!" Lucian said and Ava smirked.
"Sure! Bye Jason!" She said and tried to go to him but he won't let go of her hand.
She looked back at him and Lucian's gaze went to him.
"Let her go!" He said coldly and Jason gave him a glare before letting her go. She walked to Lucian and he pulled her closer by the waist before speeding off.
Jason scoffed.
"Who does he think he is?!" He muttered before speeding off as well.
GARBERVILLE ~~ RINA'S MANSION
Jason got back to the mansion and he met Rina fighting with another vampire. She was actually training.
They stopped breathing heavily.
"You can go!" She said and the vampire sped away.
She looked back and saw Jason. She faced front before speeding into the house.
Jason did same and entered into his room before laying on the bed.
He thought of Ava and then he smiled.
"She's pretty, too bad she's stuck with that vampire guy!" He muttered.
His throat began itching and he sat up immediately. His eyes glowing red and he sped downstairs going to the refrigerator.
The refrigerator was empty and his eyes widened.
He looked at the couch and saw Rina sipping from a glass of it. He sped to her and took it from her before gulping down the whole content.
She gave him a glare and he fell to the couch beside her. His eyes went back to normal.
"What was that for?"
"You need to fill the refrigerator with more blood. Animal blood!" He said instead and stood to go.
"You also need to learn how to fight and how to also use some of your vampire abilities!" She said and he turned his side face to her.
"Ion want to!"
"Werewolves are our enemies and they kill without mercy, you need to know how to defend yourself!" She said and he scoffed.
"Not all are!"
"It doesn't matter! You should know how to defend yourself!" She said and he rolled his eyes.
"Okay! Possibly tomorrow cos I'm exhausted!" He said and sped upstairs.
She let out a small smile.
REDWOOD FOREST ~~ CALIFORNIA
Lucas turned on the bed. Beads of sweat running down his head as he had a nightmare.
He sat up immediately breathing hard.
Luciana woke up and sat up as well.
"What is the matter?!" She asked.
"Ava is coming here soon. She knows what the clan did to the vampire clan. She's coming soon!" He said and she frowned.
"How do you know!"
"That was what my dream was about. She'd come and the clan will kill her. I have to change what I said about her returning before she actually comes!" He said and she sighed.
"You better because ion wanna loose my daughter!" Luciana said and laid back down on the bed.
Lucas palmed his face worriedly.
