Chapter 25 BLOOD !
LILIAN POV :
“Blood”
“Humph you play too much lilian “ Mia said like she wasn't scared for the fact that I could drink blood.
“ Mia shut you mouth for a second and according to research that I've made after our argument in class last month.. vampires really do drink blood”. Jonah said which made Mia to give him a glare and turn to me.
“ Lilian you don't drink blood right…?!”
“ Um…” I was suddenly interrupted with the sound of my phone... Phew thank goodness and I brought it out to answer… “ um excuse me give me a sec”..
Mia just waved me off while Jonah gave me a nod and I walked to the extreme end of the garden… I checked the contact that called me and I restricted myself from doing an eye roll of course it has to be Seraphine of all people…
“ Hello” I heard her say from the other end immediately I picked it.
“ Yeah ?!”
“ Um Lilian where are you at right now ?” She asked like I was in trouble… whatever.
“ I thought you could percieve my scent from afar…. Almighty Seraphine having issues with her breathing sense “ I teased her but she didn't snort or say anything then I heard her breath out hard in the other line…like she was actually tired and frustrated with my behavior which is very unusual.
“ Lilian am gonna ask you this one more time and I need a real answer, where the fuck are you !” She screamed into the speaker I could swear I heard her throw something on the floor…Why is she being dramatic..
“ Whatever am at the school garden with Mia and Jonah, any prob ?”
“ That's good after the break go to your assigned class…and after school I want you to wait me at my office and if am not around just get in… “
“ And why do you think I would do that “ I said I just love torturing her..
“ Did you hear me Lilian”
“ Yeah … yeah “ I said and cut the line now she's gonna be so angry.
“LIlian are you done yet” I heard Mia call for me outside… ugh I thought they would have left already.
“ Am coming…! ”
“ Hey.. the break is over we gotta head in… Lilian I think we should leave this stuff for later maybe after school ” jonah said and stood up to leave.
“ Jonah you are suddenly interested in going to class that's new “
“ Oh shut the fuck up…. Lilian after school right ” he asked with a raised eyebrow.
“ I don't think am free after class I got work at the cafe remember and miss. Vale asked to see me after class though…” I said and we both started walking down the hall back into the class we have for now.
“ What's with you and miss. Vale like she always calls you out mostly… right Jonah “ Mia asked but Jonah ignored her and continued scrolling on his phone… she nugded him and he said “ ow Mia you don't have to ask me to seek validation and nope I don't Know “
“ Humph you don't even pay attention in class but you are always in a hurry to get in… do you have a crush on anyone huh” Jonah turned bright pink in his cheeks immediately Mia said that and my mouth went agape…
“ Oh my God the almighty Playboy has a crush… who is it… tell me …tell me pretty please “ I said batting my eye lashes to look pretty .
“ Nah that's not happening now way am gonna tell you guys “ he said and stormed off in the class… me and Mia exchange the look…. You know what I mean.
I rushed to my seat tried to focus in class as much as I could cause as much as I hate this changes and stuff, I can't fail and repeat this last year.
When classes was over I hurriedly packed my things and rushed off to the direction of Seraphine office… miss. Vale persisly that woman is scary jeez.
I walked in and opened her office door and sat at a corner … not five minutes in she barged into the office and dropped the bunch of paperswork she was holding like it didn't weigh shit and sat down then she suddenly jerked up and looked around before she saw me and exhaled holding her chest.
“ Ha jeez why are you being so jumpy, you're acting like you just saw a ghost … I should be the one doing the jumping not you actually with the way you barged in”
“ One… it's my office I could barge in how ever I like and two for Christ sake tie your hair properly you look like a vampire jeez….” She said while going to grab water from the mini fridge she kept… not all teachers keeps mini fridge though … Seraphine just like overdoing it.
“ I mean that's what I am … a bloody vampire” I said with a snort .. miss. Vale didn't comment on that she looked at me and sipped the iced chilled water.
“ Okay, that's it for today Seraphine I have work at the cafe that I get off at exactly ten and trust me that I don't wanna waste my free time being stared at with your creepy eyes “ I said with a smile and stood up to leave but Seraphine breathed out and touched her forehead like she's tired or something. “ Miss. Vale is everything okay”.
“ I don't wanna lie to you Lilian but I just wanted tell you something I found out off recent and it's not pleasant at all…”
“ What's that… are the TRUEBLOOD people shit back again ?”.
“ TRUEBLOOD are not shit cause you're one of them and most dangerous cause you came from the offsprings of the royals and secondly we are being hunted ” she said and what shocked me was how restless her eyes were.
“ Hunted ?, Wait I thought we are the one doing the hunting … what the fuck has the audacity to be hunting we the vampires “
“ Can you keep quiet and listen for once hmm… these are not people you joke with alright, they are humans but they are hunters…they kill with a silver weird shit and trust me when I say that I've been hit with there bullet before and that shit hurt like hell”..
“ Are you serious right now… since you're this scared of them what the heck do you think I should do then ?”
“ You need to lay low don't come out without informing me and text me your way about all the time … as much as I hate you.. I don't want you to get hurt and we are gonna go start your hunting lessons again..”
“ Nope am not hunting a damn squirrel again… “ I said stumping my feet on the floor.
“ Whether you like it or not you will… “ she checks the watch on her arm and looked at me .. “ you can go get ready for your work and before you clock out call me I would drive you home… if a TRUEBLOOD could bite you on a hidden road like that then a hunter can kill you easily there too”
“ Don't be dramatic I can handle myself” I said and slang my backpack over my shoulder left her office and headed straight to the cafe … I entered the the cafe door bell dinged… which made Mr. Rouke to look up and when he saw me at the door he smile…
“ Ah LIlian… come on in fast we've got a lot of pre- orders to get ready for today !”
“ Yes sir” I hurriedly kept my backpack safe and also wore my favorite barrisiapein as per usual and went to the coffee machine wipe it off the dirt… all this morning shift guys always love keeping the dirt for me to wipe, I don't mind it though.
About thirty minutes in our cafe was unusually filled and I was happy cause am hoping to get cool tips this evening.
“ Two cups of cappuccino please “ I heard a vioce loud as thunder say to me.
“ Coming right up “ I rushed and made the orders and remembered that stupid me didn't look up to know which table ordered it so I just used my instinct and walked up to a man that looked broad in his shoulder and tapped him…
“ Um… sir did order for cappuccino “ I said I could feel myself sweating already this man's body was radiating heat and it was burning me up…just before I could know what's happening I heard an inner voice whisper to me… “It's me Seraphine move from there his a rival !”
