SAMIA'S POV:-
It was almost midnight. Carlos carried the bag on his back. It had everything we needed for a few days. We stepped out of the house and started walking deep into the woods. There was another person I needed with me to carry on with the plan. That was Luca. And if I wanted to find Luca, I needed to go deep into the darker part of the forest. That was the only place I could find someone like Luca. He was a turned vampire. There was a difference between the pure blooded vampires, turned vampires and hybrids. Hybrids were most likely the kind who had no problem walking under the light of the sun. And they are the most powerful vampires.
The pure blooded vampires came second according to their powers. They were the ones who were called demons in old ages. They were merciless and ruthless. That kind still existed. Those who drink only human blood and that too fresh from their bodies. They suck the humans dry and leave them in the woods for animals to munch on their flesh. There were also rumors that those vampires keep slaves for themselves. And their slaves are mostly humans. That's why they were known as the merciless and ruthless kind of vampires. Then came the turned vampires. They usually stay under the wing of a pure blooded vampire. Those are the only ones who can turn any creature into a vampire. A turned vampire can never be a master. Because they are all created to serve the pure blooded vampires.
Luca was the hybrid. The kind that was born half vampire and half human. Luca's mother was a vampire. She was a pure blooded vampire. Who fell in love with a human slave. They ran away and got married. They had Luca. Luca was able to walk into the sunlight because of his father's genes inside him. And he was always very much thankful that he could feel the rays of the sun on his skin because of his father. As I had said before, he was the one person who always wanted me to close all the chapters from my past then move on towards my future. It felt incomplete to go and settle up the debts I had with my step family without him being around.
"I just still don't understand. If you really have to take that guy with you, why not just call him? Why do we have to walk deep into this spooky Forest and look around for him? Can't you just call him and tell him that we were waiting for him?" Carlos spoke again and I rolled my eyes at him. Sometimes it felt like I was with a two thousand years old baby.
"Carlos! We have to go and look for him. He doesn't carry a phone so we can call him. Now stop whining like a baby and keep walking." I replied to him in an annoyed tone. I started walking faster and Carlos followed me behind.
I grabbed the pendant of Angel Gabriel. As it was the very thing that was showing me the way. My eyes glowed and I saw the way that was going to take me to Luca. He was not far away from us. "Come on. He is not far away from us. Let's find him. Then we will be going to search for Amir. Our first target." I added as I started following the path. Carlos followed me behind. After three miles of walking, I stepped into a marked territory. A man was kneeling on the ground, patting the black cat. Smiling at him, I walked towards him. I heard him chuckle as he pulled the cat in his arms and stood up.
He turned around and flashed us his signature smile. "I have been thinking about when you are going to finish what you have started. Then I heard about Alen. I thought you were going to take a little longer to heal that kind of wound. But I am glad that you are back soon." He spoke in a low tone while patting the cat. The cat purred in satisfaction as Luca patted him gently. His eyes went towards Carlos. With respect dripping from his eyes, he bowed his head in front of Carlos. I was not surprised at all to see him bowing in front of Carlos. Alen and Luca were good friends. I was sure that Alen might have told Luca everything about Carlos.
Just one glance at Carlos could tell anyone that he was the dragon king whose name was still alive in the history of the supernatural kind. I looked at Carlos who had this confused frown on his face. I couldn't help but giggle at him. He looked adorable while frowning. "He is Alen's friend. Anyone who knows Alen, knows everything about you too. You were actually his ideal." I explained to him the reason why Luca bowed before him. His cheeks turned slightly pink as he rubbed the back of his neck nervously. He was smiling awkwardly while looking at me. I wrapped my arms around his arm and hugged his arm tightly. I just understood whenever he needed me by his side.
"I have everything ready. Let me pick up my stuff and leave Mr fluffy to my neighbours. Then we are good to go. It is going to take only a few minutes. Just wait here for me. I will be right back." Luca announced and he disappeared. I turned to look at Carlos. I cupped his face with one of my hands. He opened his arms for me. It was quite a chilly night. And what could be better than the warmth of your mate. Smiling widely, I wrapped my arms around him. He also wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tightly. My life had changed suddenly. Everything looked pretty amazing. A few months ago, I was at Luca's place all alone. Now my mate was with me to help me out with my past.
"If you two are done with your romance episode, we better get going. We don't have a lot of time. It is midnight already. And if I am not wrong, that bastard will run back home soon with his side chicks." Luca spoke from behind. Both Carlo and I were startled as we heard him. Smiling at us, Luca started walking ahead of us. While Carlos and I were following him. Carlos pulled me in his arms as he might have felt that I was getting exhausted with all the walking. I wrapped my arms around his neck and rested my head on his shoulder. That man was everything I had ever wanted.
"Did you find anything else? Did Amir actually call him that night? Or was he trying to just scare me off as he couldn't fight me?" I asked Luca as he was walking ahead. He stopped in the middle and turned around to look at me. He sighed after a few moments then started walking again.
"He didn't recognize you as he said. He recognized you when he saw your face from up close. He didn't call that bastard just then. But he did call after we all left. I had talked to the bartender. He told me everything." Luca replied to me in a low tone. I gritted my teeth in frustration as I heard Luca. I would have been done with one of my brothers if he wouldn't have mentioned Arman's name.
Luca stopped and Carlos also halted his steps. I hopped off of his arms and looked around. It was the same bar. Luca took our bags and started walking away. "I will get us a place to stay at night. I will come and get you. Just be careful this time. I will be relieved that your mate is with you this time. Just be yourself. They can't harm you anymore." Luca yelled as he walked away. Carlos wrapped one of his arms around my shoulders. I smiled widely as he leaned in and pecked my forehead. We covered our bodies with the capes and our faces with the hoodies of the capes we were wearing.
Carlos grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the bar. We stepped into the bar without following the line. Thanks to the powers of the pendant in my neck, I was able to do a lot of unusual things. Or maybe it was just my powers that the pendant was enhancing. Either way, it was cool. My eyes searched the whole place and within a minute, I spotted Amir. He was drunk as usual. There were two nasty looking women in his arms. He was on the dance floor, dancing with those almost naked women. If it was not for the lingerie they were wearing, they were practically naked. "That is really your brother. He is disgusting." I heard Carlos whispering in my ear. He was staring at Amir and he suddenly gagged. I couldn't help but chuckle at him. He was really a pure soul.
