After eating, they ushered us into our own rooms. And because they weren't expecting my siblings, they ended up sleeping in the servant's quarters which was fine by us. I felt humiliated though. This house is so big, why not provide my siblings some guest rooms, but then we didn't have the time to argue. We have lots of things to do and understand.
One; why did they want to marry one of the Dela Vega's? I mean I know mom was the one who presented us to them, but still. Two; do they really want to be a family or do they want to feed, on us. I shivered at this. Three; what do they know about our family? Well, my family is not very clean, we have dirty deeds now and then, but who doesn't? Four: do they know about our capabilities? The siblings and I have been called the family charm by other people. Do the Lovelands know this?
Ugh. too much questions it just tires me. I sent a quick message to the siblings' and went to a quick shower,but not before making sure that my doors were bolted with enchantment... Of course we can do magic, I will have to tell you this some other time but not right now. And besides, no matter how many locks you put on a big door like the one in this room, any vampire could quickly dismantle it. Easily, too.
I quickly showered and changed into comfortable clothes and I kicked away my slippers. I lowered my energy into a calmer one and let it die down. I am now a very vulnerable human being, no auras flickering inside me. With my bare feet, I could understand the place more, see the buildings history like a movie, each and every brick in this building, tells its story to me willfully, and I made everything slow down when the Lovelands' history came into view.
Nothing has changed in their appearance since centuries ago. But this history was different, it made me see, but it didn't want me to hear. Everything slowed down but I didn't get anything but confusion. I could see the family struggle for control, power, hunger, fear, and emotions that I cannot fathom.
Why can't I hear their words? This has never happened before. Was this because they're vampires? But my abilities never backs down on vampires, I've done this a hundred of times, but this was the one time that my ability felt like it was turning me down. How could this be?
I let go of the visions and sat on my bed panting. Mother fucker. I never get tired in any vision. But this time I felt like I ran a marathon as big sweats roll down my temples and there was a big, big sadness that built up in my heart. What the hell is happening to me?
NICHOLAS'S P.O.V
When I saw Shanara Dela Vega get out of the car, surrounded by her siblings, I almost flinched at the fire that bit my cold, stone heart. I was appalled by her extra ordinary beauty. But I disliked the way her siblings behaved. They looked like they were ready to pounce on anyone who would touch their Shanara. Are they really that protective? I'd like to know why. What's in Shanara that they are trying to protect? I am currently in my room standing by the veranda watching the moonlight dance by the trees, as the wind blow lazily.
I drank some wine from the bottle that I was holding and my mind wandered back to the lady that was going to be my wife. She felt magnetic and I felt that I was being pulled into her everytime my eyes met hers. I've had only one woman in my 500 years. And she was taken away from me in just a blink of an eye. And I will avenge the one who took her away from me. I will use Shanara to find out the truth. Even if it means using her. I will go through all hell that the world can offer, if it meant finding justice to my beloved, deceased wife. Its the only way to make my dreams stop haunting me.
'And you just wait, My Love. I will avenge you now.' I will put a stop to my curse.
I drank the last contents in my glass, but it didn't fill the gaping hole in my cold heart...
