BEING BLUE

CHAPTER FIFTY-ONE

DENISE'S POV

"Who the fuck are you," Blanc said with his fangs and nails out, ready to feast on any prey, Lucas remained there observing this little creature.

I have seen a lot of Dwarfs, but this particular one didn't seem like a normal Dwarf, his eyes were big and very wide with his shirt fangs slightly out of his mouth. Can a Dwarf be a Vampire? I wondered.

"What did you do to Lysa?" He said with a whisper. His voice is very low but musical, he has a very unique accent, one that I have never heard.

He kept on pacing around, looking for something. It was at that moment I noticed I was still naked with only the waters covering my naked form.

"Turn around, I need to wear my clothes" I screamed. Lucas and Blanc turned around but the Dwarf kept on whispering Lysa and still staring at me.

"Could I be Lysa?" I asked, my voice had a hint of sarcasm. He didn't reply to my question which made me chuckle.

His eyes were fixed on me and I could change my clothes, I had to call on Blanc who turned him around forcefully.

In a rush, I put my clothes back on, the clothes stank a lot and I didn't have a change of clothes again, and walking through the woods had made my nose adapt to smell.

For a moment, I wondered what my mother was doing, was she looking for me? Or was she with another of her men whoring around? It didn't bother me though, I just miss my best friend Audrey. I wish I had told him before leaving but My werewolf mate is his brother.

"I'm done" I replied and they all turned around. They were staring at me like something was wrong with me, except the Dwarf though, he wasn't facing my direction.

"What's wrong?" I asked as I became more conscious of my body. I touched my face to check if something was wrong with me but I felt normal. My eyes went down to my dressing and it was still normal.

"What the fuck are you both staring at?" I yelled and asked, I was becoming more frightened, Blanc opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out. It was then I realized I would have taken a mirror along with us.

"You are blue in color right now?" Lucas let the cat out of the bag.

My eyes widened In surprise, how can I be blue? With conscious eyes, I looked at my skin but it was perfectly dark in complexion, and checked my palms and they were normal as well.

I looked at the both of them suspiciously but had to remain calm, "how the fuck do I look blue" I inquired and they didn't say a word. They kept quiet and just stared at me in silence, it was obvious they didn't have the answer to that question.

"You have just bathed in the river of blue flames, owned by the Goddess of fire, I'm sure she was angry that you washed ur stingy ass in her river and she cast a spell on you," The Dwarf said and laughed mocking at me.

He kept on laughing, leaving me to stand there shocked, I knew this journey was a fucking bad idea. The fact that he got angry enraged me and I didn't know when my fangs came out.

That had never happened before, I know I'm a hybrid but developing fangs all of a sudden was new, I looked at my palms and saw that my fingernails had extended beyond normal as well.

I just needed a mirror to see myself right now. Blanc stared at me satisfied, maybe he was satisfied at the fact that I'm a vampire as well.

But as soon as my temper came down, it went all back inside without hesitation. And it dawned on me that I was still blue.

Lucas started coming closer to me with a slow and steady pace, "or maybe, the river of flames sensed you are a hybrid?" Lucas said and his reason was stupid to me, the other guy got a better reason. But the reasons don't matter right now, I just want to be normal again.

"She's a hybrid?" The Dwarf asked, it was obvious he had a keen interest in that topic, she stared at me for some minutes before shaking his head and whispering, "No she can't be"

I wanted to know what he was talking about but my curiosity was replaced with panic and fear of my skin being blue. After getting to where I was, Lucas took my hands and examined them, he raised my hand to the level of his nose and sniffed it gently, "I smell hatred" he said and I was not bothered by whatever he smelt, I wanted it off.

"The goddess of flames hates hybrids, their presence makes her weak and you bathe inside her river" he stated.

Well his stating that made a lot of sense now, I mean my weakening her got her angry and made me blue, but I still don't give a fuck about her reason, I needed a solution.

The Dwarf came closer to Lucas, bowed at his feet, and asked, "Are you the great hunter, Lucas?"

Lucas was surprised, if I were in Lucas's shoes, I'd deny my name because everyone wants his head but Lucas is not the one to be a coward, so he nodded his head in approval.

Immediately and to our surprise, the Dwarf knelt on one knee, brought out a tiny sword which he placed on his hand, and said, "I'm Gray Jay sire, the only surviving son of Simon Jay, I promise to work with you, do as you say from this day till the end of my days" He said.

Lucas was silent for minutes, and Gray Jay remained on his knees waiting for a reply. I could see that he was getting tired of kneeling but was determined to remain there till Lucas said otherwise. I wonder what Lucas did to have such dedication and Loyalty.

"Raise Gray Jay, son of Simon Jay, and the heir to the throne in the kingdom of Dwarfs," Lucas said and Gray Jay stood up immediately, looking at the floor.

"I do not know the favor I have bestowed on ur father that warrants this Loyalty but I appreciate it, I do not need another person added to the two that have been following me, I do not trust easily and it took me more than weeks to trust these," Lucas said pointing at Blanc and I, the disappointment in Gray Jay eyes was palpable as we started walking away slowly.

I felt hurt, but what Lucas did was right, we can't trust a soul when it comes to a matter of the Gem.

But suddenly Gray Jay stopped, with turning around, he said "Your hybrid will die within two days if she doesn't get that color off her body"

We grasped after finding this new information.
