Half Vampire: Fights for love

Chapter 15

"Come out you all... I can sense you in that darkness." I said as the tune in my voice changed.

"Seriously, Inez, you let that boy drive you home?" Arden said as he shook his head.

"Not now, family... not now." I shushed as I ran to my room. I placed my bag on the bed as I removed the supernatural book. ’Why did you light up earlier? Jada saw you do that, ’ I said, and the book opened itself. It stopped on a page, and I ran my hand through the writing. The Silas brothers were in town. I heaved a sigh. "Next time, don’t light up like that; you almost put my life in danger."

The book flipped pages again and stopped. I ran my hand through it. Oh no, we have to see the council. I said as I left my room immediately and ran down the stairs. "Dad, I will need a ride to the Council region."

"Now?"

"Yes, it’s important!"

"Let me get my keys. I will be back in a few." he said as he ran to his room.

In a few minutes, he was back with weapons in his hand. We all looked at him. "In case we see dangerous things on our way," he opened the door and I followed him to the car. He drove off to the council region.

…

"You are here, just as I had predicted, Inez." the head of the council said as he walked me into his office. He offered me a chair and he sat across. "So, what brings you here?"

"My dad’s car?"

He laughed at my sarcasm. "What brings you here?" he asked again.

"I know you already know why I’m here. You’ve seen my future already through the prophecy."

"You won’t have a future if you don’t feed," he said as he stood up. "The book would have shown you how you died, and that’s why you are here right now."

"Yes, it did, and the Scilas brothers are here in New York."

"I’m not surprised, but Inez, if you don’t feed then this fight will be for nothing...you have four days left and many things can happen during that time...please, think about your family and the people you will save if you possess these powers."

I sighed, "I... I’m scared." I stuttered.

"Why?" he asked, placing his hand on my shoulder.

"I might hurt people if I don’t control my blood lust," I said.

"No, you are scared because you might hurt him. The human boy ... you are in love with him and you will do anything to get him out of the way. Inez Sivan, this boy will be the death of you if you don’t take him out of your life."

"I need to find a way to stop demons from entering this realm."

"The barrier is already weak and they will be coming in here one by one if you refuse to feed and unleash the power you possess. You are more, but you will be more if you unleash those powers you hold."

"I think there is another way for me to avoid death." I walked towards the door. "I will find another way to save people and take the Scilas brothers back to where they belong."

"You can’t cheat fate, Inez, and the prophecy won’t change. And that boy will betray you." he said, and I walked out of the cave with my dad. I wasn’t ready to hear anything bad about Chase. There is another way for me to survive without feeding. I know there is and I will have to find out how.

"I saw her today, you know?" Noah said. "She is pretty."

"I told you not to look for her. She can sense you."

"I don’t think she did, but do you ever think of how handsomely we will be rewarded if we get to take her back to the palace?"

"Noah, we are not the only people up for this mission to look for the princess."

"Well, little brother, luckily for us, we are the only ones who know what she looks like." He placed his hand on Corner’s shoulder.

"But, Noah, what exactly do you think the king wants from his daughter? I mean, he hasn’t met her before."

"Maybe he wants a ruler for his throne, and if the princess is as powerful as you claim, then he wants a soldier by his side."

"That’s strange," Corner said.

"What is it?"

Corner drew his wooden dagger and placed it on Noah’s chest. "Who are you?"

"What do you mean, who am I? I’m Noah." Noah gave a small laugh.

"Who are you? Because Noah isn’t as intelligent as this."

"Hey, what do you mean?" Corner turned his head in the other direction to look at who had spoken, and he saw another Noah drinking blood from his favorite mug.

"Now, that is Noah. Who are you?" he asked again, looking back at the fake Noah in front of him. "I will pierce this wooden dagger in your chest if you don’t shift back to your real form."

The man shifted back immediately. "Kiddo, you can’t be fooled. I was right."

"Dad?" Corner looked shocked. "How did you get into this realm? Nobody invited you, and since you know a lot about Inez Sivan, I think you need to die." Corner pierced the dagger in his father’s chest slowly. "Who sent you?"

"Wait, Corner!" Noah said. "I invited him in; I wanted to know if you were in love with that girl."

"And of all people, you brought him in?" Corner removed the dagger from his father’s chest.

"It was meant to be a test."

"For how long has he been in this house?" Corner asked as he focused on Noah.

Noah began to laugh. "Oh, for as long as you’ve been here." I went on a trip the next day, so he has been here since then, like me, without you knowing."

"Are you going to spy on Inez? Because I guess that’s what you’re good at."

"Father should stay. He knows a lot about King Cain and his weaknesses since he was one of his trusted soldiers. He will help us capture the powerful Inez Sivan."

"You just won’t quit, would you?" Corner let out a sigh. "I don’t want to see him around me," Corner said, and he left for his room.
