👹🖤 CURSED 🖤👹

" Prof. Zarus" She called with shock gaze.

______

Lazarus groan slightly,he tilt his head up supporting it with his hand.

He could feel his head banging and heart racing.

" What the hell happened to me?" He muttered,then realization drawn on him,he wanted kill his mate but then something happened,a strong force had hit him making him hit the wall..wait,he passed out?!!

"F*ck!" He curse and immediately sprang up from where he sat.

He look around the empty room,his eyes clouded with confusion.

How did it happen? Was that Sitara's doing? It can't possibly be Tasha..she's a human.

But he passed out in front of her,oh heaven..she must be mocking him right now.

"Screw you Sitara!" He shouted angrily.

" How dare you humiliate me in front of a fragile human! I will kill you!" He shouted again,he hit the wall in anger.

The creaking of the door made him ran into the bathroom in a speed. He shut the door.

He didn't even get to see who it was.

It can't be that mate of his,obviously she'd escaped.

That was what he thought not until he heard her voice. "Prof. Zarus"

"She..she's still here" He palm his mouth to avoid him from gasping out.

He shut his eyes in embarrassment.

Tasha stare at the door with worried gaze.

Earlier when she found out he fainted,she was damn scared.

Scared that something bad might have happened to him.

She remember how he sent some magical fire towards but it a misery how it didn't get to her and he ended up fainting.

She should have run away,but her conscious wouldn't let her. She had to make an herb drugs for him despite the fact that he wanted to take advantage of her.

When he was asleep,he said some strange words that got her more worried.

"Prof. Zaru" She called the tray of herbal drugs on the bedside table.

"What do you want?!" He snapped.

She frown.

"Come out now!" She yelled.

" Is she commanding me..just because she saw me fainted" He squeezed.

She walk to the door hitting it hard with her hands.

" Come out now!" She shouted continuously.

She raise her hands to hit the door again but the door opened and her hands landed on his chest...it was an hit..painful.

"You...." Lazarus grab her hands hard.

" I..am sorry,i didn't mean it" She apologized.

"Just get out!" He pushed her gently.

"What? Why act almighty now" She scoff.

He glared at her.

" I advice you leave...."

"Shhh,prof,you need to take the drugs now" She shush shocking him.

She's not scared of him anymore?

"Come here" She held his hand pulling him to seat on the bed.

"What are you do..." She push the cup into his mouth before he could complete his words.

She smile seeing be drank everything.

" Tasha O'Connell!" He called with gnashing teeth.

Yes, professor Zarus" She answered with that smile still plaster on her face. Lazarus jaw dropped.

"Are you kidding me right now?"

" You need to rest,go on,i need to go home" She said parting his shoulder.

"Don't touch me!" He slap her hands away.

"I knew you be so ungrateful. Anyway you need to get a cook,your kitchen looks so empty" She said and carried the tray,heading towards the door.

"What really going on. I better wake up to see all these were just mere dreams" He muttered laying on the bed,then a flash of blur memory flash into his head,a loud groan wracked from his throat.

Tasha turn to him in haste.

"What happened?" She rush to him,dropping the tray back and holding his hand.

" Are you alright?" She ask,confused.

Lazarus stare at her without a word,his expression was blank but Tasha knew something was wrong.

"Say something,please" She said in panic.

"Scientist" That word flew from his mouth.

"What scientist?" She ask.

" I..i..don't know,i just saw someone,he is a scientist" He replied.

She sigh.

Why is her mysterious stalker suddenly acting strange,first was the mentioning of names a d now it a scientist.

"You should relax,am here okay" She smile holding his hand.

Lazarus blink.

"I..don't need you' He said.

"Don't try to act tough,you passed out..."

" You should leave,i need to rest" He interrupt her,pulling his hands from hers. He turn facing the other side.

"Wooden head" She scoffed glaring at him.

"You better don't get sick,you have a our class today tomorrow noon" She said and sluggishly left the room.

Lazarus sat up staring at the door.

"I must be dreaming" He mutter.

"Highness" Hunter appeared.

"And where have you been?!" He snapped.

"Forgive me my lord,i have just been busy tracking Prince D'Arcy...,"

" Did you find him?" Lazarus ask.

"He refused to return back" Hunter said.

" That stubborn brat" Lazarus frown.

"The lady...is she..."

" Go with her,make sure she get home safely" Lazarus ordered before getting down the bed.

"Yes" Hunter bow and speed out.

REALM OF LIGHT*

Lazarus appeared in the middle of the hall,he wore his royal robe.

"What now?" Sitara shrugged.

"What was the meaning of that?" He yelled.

" Meaning of what?" Sitara said ignoring his rudeness. It not new to her.

"Don't you dare pretend!" He snapped.

"You wanted to kill her,i thought you might regret it later on so i intervened,you should thank me" Sitara smirked.

"And you think you did the right thing? Do you know she no longer fear me..."

"You should be happy,your queen is improving" Sitara said obviously teasing him.

" I just want to kill you" He He gritted.

"Lets see you try" She wink.

" Tssk" He spat.

"I knew coming here was a waste of time" He said and stormed out.

"What if i say it wasn't me" Sitara muttered.

LONDON,O'CONNELL'S MANSION*

Getting into the house,Tasha was surprised to see Gianna and Veda pacing around the sitting room.

"What going on?" She drew their attention.

" b***h pie!" Gianna scream and rush to hug her.

Tasha stood confused.

She'd expected Gianna to be mad at her for what happened earlier.

"Are you okay?" Veda ask sounding worried.

"Yeah,were you guys worried about me?" She smile.

" Of course we were" Gianna said disengaging from the hug.

"Did he scold you hard? Am so sorry if he did,can you forgive him for my sake?" Gianna pout.

" What__are you talking about?" Tasha said confused.

"Veda already told me,prof Zarus found out he didn't attend his class that's why he came to scold you, he was so angry that he scold me too. Prof. Zarus did care about his students" Gianna said smiling sheepishly.

" Ve_da" Tasha diverted her gaze to her.

So this was the reason Gianna was cool,but she'd prefer telling the truth than lying.

But saying the love stuff would lead to expulsion of Zarus identity. Gianna might not be able to handle that.

"Come,i learnt a new song that i want to play with for you" Gianna grin pulling Tasha to the stairs.

Veda sigh.

"Good she's fine" She mutter.

Zara has been eavesdropping from the kitchen,she smirked.

Hazel was walking down the hallway when she spotted Viktor coming out from the principal office. She stood surprised.

She didn't even noticed when he got to her.

She blinked then force out a smile.

Viktor chuckled.

"You look cute when you blush" He complement.

" I never blushed" She said and turn her back on him.

"Are you free tonight?"

"Why asking?" She ask still backing him.

" Like i said i came for you,i'd like to get to know you more" He said.

"Your girlfriend isn't against you knowing me" She glance at him from her shoulders.

"You..don't want to be friends?" He ask with a raise brow.

"Not really,just that my brother hate it when i go out" She faced him.

" You don't have to tell him everything,you are seventeen..."

" How did you know my age?" She stare.

" Huh...i..yeah..i saw it at the principal office" He lied.

" Oh" She mouthed,though she wonder why he went through her admission documents.

"So are you in?" He ask.

"Maybe" She shrug.

" I will wait in front of your school at 7PM" He said,she nodded and watch him leave.

" He barely knows me why act so nice" She mutter.

"I can't believe you are into an adult..i knew you were a teen w***e" Stephanie said coming out from her peeping spot.

"Not bad" Hazel scoffed.

"Then quit being friends with Red!" She snapped.

Hazel smirk. "Never"

"Maybe" Tasha simply say,she remember how Lazarus had shriek in his sleep calling a name she find strange,she doesn't know Why she had to feel hurt...hurt because of a vampire.

"Tasha dear,you are my only biological child,can you at least tell me what you are facing? Let's face it together, dear" Mr Graven said.

He looks worried.

"Don't give me that look,i have decide not to relocate again" She said rubbing his hand.

He smile.

"Am so happy you changed your mind" He said.

"Looks like am excluded from the family union" Sonia said from where she stood. She came in earlier.

"Jewel thief" Tasha mutter out loud.

"You better watch your mouth!" Sonia glared.

"Come here baby girl" Mr Graven ushered. Sonia hurriedly went to seat close to him.

"Don't try to steal my dad" Tasha said with a frown.

" T,don't be mean to your elder sister" Mr Graven scold.

"I don't have a sibling talk less of an elder sister." Tasha roll her eyes.

"Tas..."

"Don't waste your breath on her dad,she's still a kid" Sonia smirk.

" I dare you to repeat that!" Tasha slam her hands on the table.

" Can you two just shut up and eat peacefully" Mr Graven scold.

"Am done here" Tasha said grabbing her back,she stormed out.

"She and anger" Mr Graven shook his head.

"Gianna you can't do this" Veda said frowning.

"What your problem? Your sister is finally in love but all you could do is try to discourage her" Gianna scoff.

" This isn't love" Veda snapped.

" What do you know about love!" Gianna snapped back.

" I might not know much but i believe it not right to confess your feelings to a stranger,what if he mocks you? "

"He is not a stranger. Besides,if i don't show my self out how do you expect him to know me. Girl,relax,just wish me luck" Gianna tap Veda shoulder and wald away.

" Why is she so stubborn" Veda muttered frustratedly.

"Hey weirdo" Maddie rap her hands around Veda's shoulder.

"Are you insane!' Veda yelled pushing her away.

Maddie fell,hitting her butt on the floor.

" You didn't have to push me!" Maddie snapped.

" Stay away from me. When did you start hovering around me? You better stay away" Veda glared.

"I just want to be your friend" Maddie mutter.

"Well i already have friends,so keep off" Veda stated coldly and started walking away.

" YOU DON'T! TASHA LIKES GIANNA MORE THAN YOU,JUST BE MY FRIEND,WEIRDO!Maddie shouted her lungs out but Veda ignored going out of sight.

"She's so mean" Maddie pout sadly.

~ ~ ~

Lazarus just came out from the staff room where they had a brief meeting..a boring one at that.

"Hey Prof" The female student in front of his office wave at him.

He recognized her to be Tasha's friend.

"What?" He ask,icily.

" I am here to see you" She said smiling sheepishly.

"Why?" He ask with a blank stare.

"Why don't we go in first,what i have to say..."

"Mate" Lazarus cut her speech,his eyes darting at Tasha who was sneaking out. She was here at least check upon on him when she saw Gianna,she didn't want to disrupt the moment that why she wanted to leave. But like this devil was against her,he made her presence none.

"Mate" Giants mutter turning to Tasha.

"Ohm...you are here,Gianna" Tasha said awkwardly .

Lazarus roll his eyes.

"Why are you here?" Gianna ask.

" I...i..was just passing by" Tasha lied

"I will just leave now,go on" She said and turn to leave when the devil intervene.

"Our last date,it didn't hold,i want to renew it today" Lazarus said firmly.

Can't he just be quiet,why bring up such thing in front of Gianna.

"What date?" Gianna ask feeling like a fool in the presence of the two.

How come the professor speaks nicely to Tasha like they've known each other before.

"He doesn't mean date..."

Lazarus speed to her,pulling her by the waist making her body blue to his.

The two girls stare in shock.

"What..are you...doing?" Tasha voice came out low.

Gianna couldn't believe what she just witnessed,like he was like a flash..how did that happened?

"I heard a kiss can attract love,i was thinking we should try it" He said and before she could process it in,his lips crash on hers.

The world suddenly darkened to Gianna,she did a know what was going until her thick darkness over shadow her and she began falling to the ground.

Viktor stood at the high hill staring down at the kingdom that has been consumed by sand.

He glance at his wrist watch cursing the slow move of the time.

He needed to see Hazel..not for a good intention though.

A loud piercing noise swept all over the place,a sudden breeze blew,the sand moving like the sea. Viktor eyes stick out.

"Merging?!!" He gaps in disbelief.
