Shanara went of of Nicholas's office and went to find where the maze garden is. She was unsure of what's going to happen now that she told Nicholas that they knew their family has no heart beats. But what now? Is he going to be a threat? What will he do? But I trust my abilities. He will never get away from my enchantment he won't be able to tell anyone abiut what we talked about.
I let go a sigh as I reached another balcony. This must be the other side of the castle because I didnt see the maze garden. I saw a thick forest a mile away from me. Where in the world am I? I was so lost in thought that I forgot where to go. Golden was the one who is genius when it comes to directions and I almost snickered as I realized that I'm lost. Inside the castle. Mother fucker. I reached inside my energy and sprang it into life hoping that it would attract any attention from my siblings. I turned away from the balcony and faced the castle and stare into the skies to summon the energy. This is why I hate being away from my siblings, I feel so alone whenever they are not around.
My energy flew out of my body and my hair flew with the wind because of the energy surge. Freeing my energy like this scatters it into the wind and the wind will find its wayto my siblings, when one of them feels it, they will also release skme of their energy to pull me into where they are. This ability is quite irresistible, anyone nearby could be lulled from it thats why you need to be careful and keep your focus to the specific persons whom you are calling or else...
"Woah, what a view." I jumped and lost focus when I heard a voice.
I quickly opened my eyes that I didnt realise was closed.
Clover with all his glory was leaning by the door staring at me. His smile unreadable. Jesus I almost choked on my own energy.
I felt my cheeks heat up involuntarily and felt my energy ball shatter into every direction. I gasped not because Clover startled me- not really- but because my energy might scatter further and draw some wild animals nearby. I automatically asked myself, at what rate did Clover startle me? I didn't even want to think about it as my heart hammered inside my chest.
"Uhmm, sorry, I thought that the wind felt nice." I excused lamely and slapped myself. We were in the wrong direction of the wind, in reality, no leaf was moving and the balcony was humid that sweat started to form in my hair follicles. Atleast Clover can't see I'm sweating, right?
"I think, by that sweat dripping down your neck, that you really need some air," he chuckled. He looked me up and down and it made me feel more uneasy and stupid. And because his dimples were showing and his eyes were twinkling and that he looked so handaome in his shirt and jeans and--- Whoah! What the hell is happening to me? Jeez my thoughts! My brain! My sinful eyes!
I laughed nervously and my hands touched my neck and there was really sweat. I mentally slapped myself.
"I was just trying to find the garden," I blurted out and rubbed my hands. I heated up again as I saw him aye me up and down with a smirk. What the fuck, Clover might be a pervert!
"Well this is our backyard, actually, this is where we play sports or do some picnic in the summer. Or when mom, does not let us use the garden because she renovates them with new flowers. It looks pretty deserted, and dangerous." Clover looked at me, the smile still on his face and stared blankly into the forest behind me.
" Why is it dangerous!? I think this territories are controlled by you, " I querried.
" Yes it is, but sometimes bad things couldnt be prevented always, right? Anyway, come, I'll lead you to the gardens but change your clothes first, I dont want the guards to droll over you. " he said and laughed.
I checked my clothes and gasped. What the hell was I wearing? Yeah, I definitely need to change. I ran after Clover and snickered. I've been acting stupid these days and it felt stupid to be stupid. Stupid.
Meanwhile, Nicholas was dreaming of Mirrielle on his sleep. He was still in his office and he was asleep. Mirrielle smiled and put the coffee she was holding into the table. She tapped Nicholas lightly.
Nicholas sat uprigjt witha start and Mirrielle smiled.
"Hi, Love. You slept while working again. It's just 10 AM." she said and rubbed Nicholas's back.
"Sorry I slept late last night," he said jokingly. Mirrielle knew that his family were vampires and that they didn't need sleep.
"Nicholas," Mirrielle rolled her eyes and smiled.
He laugjed and hugged her. She seated her on his legs and stared into her eyes.
"Nicholas, you must let me go." Mirrielle said sadly.
"What? Love, you know I'll never do that, I lromised you didn't I? Are you not happy with me?" Nicholas pouted likea baby. He liked behaving like a baby when Mirrielle is around.
"But Im dead Nicholas, you have to let me go, let me rest, please." Mirrielle said sadly.
"Baby, what are you talking about you're with me, Im here, you're not dead, silly. Please don't say that." Nicholas laughed playfully.
"No Nicholas. I'm dead, and you need to get over me for me to rest, please." Mirrielle's eyes turned so sad and teaes came out.
Suddenly her white dress became wet and the world turned darker. Droplets of rain was pouring heavily. We were in the waterfalls and Mirrielle turned away from me and went to the edge of the water. I shouted her name but I couldn't hear my own voice. I couldn't move and I couldn't reach her.
Mirrielle suddenly stopped walking and turned around to face me. She smiled and collapsed into the ground.
The world turned upside down and Nicholas couldn't fight the tears that scaped his eyes. He inhaled gulps of air and heard thousands of bells ringing.
He shouted in pain and after sometime the bells stopped and he opened his eyes. He was on his office and was seating in one of the chairs.
What in the world happened?
