"Umm.. Oscar? Are the people really shooting daggers at me or am I mistaken?". Alora moved her hand up to Oscar's arm, squeezing it as she saw his family members and friends watching them entering his family house. "Relax, they're all jerks". Oscar whispered and moved towards a lady in the centre of the room. "Oh hey, dear! I'm so glad you came". She greeted him with a warm hug. "I'm sorry I'm late". He replied and pulled back. "Oh, It's okay, hon..". Her eyes then landed on Alora. She eyed her from head to toe. "..who is this diva?". Alora didn't responded. She waited for Oscar to introduce her. "This is Alora, my girlfriend.. Alora, meet my Mom, Nancy Williams". Oscar said. "Good Evening, Mrs. Williams". Alora advanced her hand for a handshake. Nancy took it. "Nice to meet you, Alora.. I see that girl is nothing as compared to you". She sighed. "You're so beautiful". "Thank you.. but umm, Oscar? What girl she's talking about?". Alora pretended she didn't knew. "Let's not w
Alora and Dan walked into the forest, talking to each other. The weather was cold and cloudy, it was about to rain. "Harvey was telling me about Alexander... They're good friends". Dans said. "Yeah, Alexander did mentioned him that night when we talked". Alora nodded. "I realized that we have too many similarities..". "OFCOURSE! You're his cousin". Dan said."I was thinking maybe he can be the king..". Dan stopped and glared at her. "Don't you ever think of abandoning Luciel". "What?". Alora looked at him surprisingly. "Oh? Luciel hates lies.. when he comes to know that I'm a Vampiress, he'll turn away himself! I didn't thought about us that far, Dan". She said angrily. "And we are nothing.. It's just that he's so attractive and the only guy who's my type. That doesn't mean that we'll end up together"."Okay, so he's just a time pass". Dan gave a nod, responding sarcastically. "No, he's not". Alora shook his head. "I like him so much. But I don't know what he thinks". As they w
As Dan came downstairs and opened the door, he found her wandering in the living room, all worried and sad. "Hey! What happened?". He became worried too. "Alice's playing with me!". She replied. "Care to explain?". Dan stood attentively facing her. "She took advantage of her ALL-KNOWING power and tried to fool me by freaking out in front of Nate and treating him like the chosen one. I wasn't able to figure this out by then but now I got it all". "Damn! She's so clever". Dan scratched his neck. "I'll never let her get away with this, I swear! She fooled me so easily!". Alora wandered here and there and suddenly stopped dead in her tracks. "Dan?". She looked frighteningly at Dan. "Am I a fool?". "What?". For Dan, that question was out of nowhere. His jaws dropped at it. "Are you crazy?". "No, a fool". Alora shook her head, eyes fixated on him, face expressionless."Alora". Dan chuckled on her silly little joke. "It's not that you're a fool.. you're just so innocent". "Innocent
The next morning, when Alora was cleaning her room, she got a text message from Oscar. "Finally". She said and read the message. "Hi, Sorry I didn't replied yesterday.. I was a bit busy. My sister fell off from the stairs and I was in the hospital. I shouldn't say this but I'm glad my sister fell off and my Mom forgot about you yesterday :). I wanted to make a request, I hope you consider it". "Hey, handsome! Oh it's okay, I was busy myself, I spent all day with Dan's new pet dog so I even forgot that I messaged you in the morning. And sure! Go ahead! Is everything okay?". Alora typed back. "I wanted to meet you today so we can make a fake story for how we met and talk about each other interests, My Mom will surely ask about them! And My Mom told everyone in the family about you so now my sister, Katherine wants to see you. I think it's a great idea to come here to the hospital as my GF to ask how she is. Mom is a bit suspicious, that will erase the suspicion". Oscar replied. "Al
Alora got ready to leave for the office the next day, when she bumped into Luciel in the living room. "Leaving already?". He asked. "Uh..Yeah!". She nodded. "Are you still angry at me?". Luciel said, grabbing her wrist. "What? I was angry at you? When?". She asked with a chuckle. "Yesterday.. I made fun of.. you? Remember?". Luciel reminded. "Oh yes!". She stroked her forehead. "I wasn't angry at you.. I can NEVER be angry at you, L". "Really? You left angrily and grimly". Luciel replied. "I was sad.. the thought of peaches reminded me of my father. He used to bring dozens of them from our fruit orchard". She told looking at Luciel's hand which was wrapped around her wrist. "Oh". Luciel looked down. "I'm sorry". "You don't have to be sorry..". She smiled. "The thought of you being angry at me was tearing me apart, Alora". He said. "I couldn't sleep all night.. I thought I should come to you but then I decided to give you some space". Alora stepped closer to him so that she
After having dinner with Luciel, Dan returned to his place, tired and sombre. Alora went into her room, to talk to her family. "Harvey was a traitor, Alexander". She told her cousin.Alexander sighed. "We can't put it that way, Alora.. Harvey was my friend... I know him quite well, and.. I knew that it was Harvey". "Wait, what? You did?". Alora asked surprisingly. "Yeah.. when Pa told me about what happened to Ron, I talked to Harvey and asked him to stop.. he said he HAD to do it but then he told Ron that he'll leave him alone if he stops loving you.. I think he likes you that's why he's doing this". "He doesn't, he's with Dan". Alora rubbed her temples. "Oh? I didn't knew that! I tried to ask the reason but he didn't told.. said it was a secret". Alexander said. "I don't know what to think or do right now.. but I do wanna confront him when I come back". Alora responded. "Hmm". Alexander nodded. "Don't tell anyone about it, Alexander.. Pa should never know.. I will kill you i
At night, Luciel and Alora went out for their date. He took her to an amusement park on his bike. "Okay, I thought it would be a candlelight dinner". Alora took off the helmet. "What? Don't you like it?". Luciel asked, getting off the bike. "No! Are you insane? This is amazing!". She looked at all the people and food and rides. "That means, the dinner would be boring.. thanks for not choosing it". Luciel chuckled and pulled her closer, wrapping his arm around her waist. "Let's go inside"."Oh! Cotton Candy!". She exclaimed pointing at the stall. "Can I get it". Luciel grinned with a shrug. She ran at the stall, leaving him behind. "Hey! Wait up!". He ran behind her through the crowd.She bought two and gave one to him. "I love it!". Luciel took a bite and nodded. "It's been years since I last ate it". "Hmm". She smiled. "Well, you brought me here to a perfect date and I deserve to waste your money". "I have no objections". He giggled. "If that makes this night memorable and.
Alora wandered in the house here and there, waiting for Luciel to return. "Oh come on! It's past midnight!". She cursed. She kept her eyes glued on the wall clock, Two, Three, Four and Then Five in the morning but Luciel didn't returned. He didn't even picked up his phone. "Ugh". She stomped her foot on the ground and went into her room. At eight in the morning, Luciel returned home. He tiptoed and went into his room.Closing the door behind him, he took a sigh of relief thinking that he successfully ghosted Alora."Where were you?". A sudden voice caught him off guard. He looked back and noticed her standing cross armed, glaring at her. "Alora, what are you doing in my room?". Luciel asked."Where. Were. You?". She repeated."I was.. at the fire station, with my friends.. we had drinks and played never have I ever. And I fell asleep there". Luciel replied."Do you have any idea how much worried I WAS?". She said angrily."I know and I'm sorry.. I didn't do that on purpose". He s
