The Vampire’s Forbidden Mate.

Chapter 7

Elara’s POV

Finally, we are not far from my place and I really dislike being on the road for too long. I always have motion sickness.

Surprisingly I saw Lucien. We quickly stopped so I could say hi. I then asked if he stays around but he says no. That's weird.

Maybe he has a friend who stays here. What if it's his girlfriend? Ughhh, why did that thought cross my mind? I even invited him over, but he rejected it. I was a bit disappointed, but I just covered it up with a smile. Then he left, and I got back into the car with Rose.

“Elara who's that hottie?” When Rose asked this, I felt an instant sting in my chest. I don't know why I'm hurt about her showing interest in Lucien. But I just shake any sad thought off and respond

“That's Lucien, the guy I told you about”

“Elara!!! You've got yourself a hottie”

I just laughed cause of how she did her face, “Rose please!!”

As soon as we arrived at my place and parked, Rose got out from the car in haste and ran inside cause she was with the keys, only for me to follow her behind to realize she really needed to use the toilet.

Not long after my parents and siblings came back home together. I thought they'd stay till the next day. I went out to help with their stuff cause it looked like they went shopping.

While climbing up with my mum’s bag I saw Dave heading towards the guest toilet “Dave!! Come and use the one upstairs, Rose is in there”. Then I went up into my mother's room.

While putting things out to assist my mum, she came in and was just staring giving me this look, like she has something to say but doesn't know how to.

“What’s on your mind mum, spill.”

“Ohh it’s nothing” she said and waved her hands gesturing.

Then I raised one of my eyebrows, urging her to say whatever is on her mind.

“I don't want to be all up in your business” she said while coming to sit on the bed with me. I just dropped the clothes and laughed because that sounded so funny cause she's always in my business. “Mum it is nothing new and besides you are my mother. So what's on your mind”

“I saw you and a guy talking from afar before we got to the house. At first I thought it was the delivery guy but it wasn't cause there was no van. Who is he? It's not that I'm trying to be all up in your business I'm glad you're talking to a guy. At some point, I thought you hated men and you were into girls. It's such a relief.. Don't get me wrong, if you are into girls I will support you cause you're my sweet baby..”

“Mum calm down” I said cutting her short cause she was talking so fast “And I'm not into girls too. The guy you saw me talking to was Lucien a new student in school. And you should come see me at my dance class you won't ever have the thought of me being into girls”. This made me laugh so much and it’s so sweet to know she's trying her best to hold this type of conversation with me.

I've never been the type to sit and start talking about my emotions with anyone. Even my best friend Rose we just talk about random stuff, like music some movies, books and all of that.

The last time I remember having a crush on someone it wasn't something serious. I have never dated anyone. I think I have a problem cause I don't know how to feel love.

“Speaking of dance class I think I need to continue with it. It's been a while now. I have been so Inactive.” my mum now being distracted with taking out her clothes from the bag did not respond and I didn't repeat myself. I just left the room to meet with Rose downstairs.

“Elara your dad was just asking me about your friend that you were talking to” Rose said when she saw me approaching the kitchen.

Why are parents like this? Do they really need to know about everyone.

“Dad why are you and Mum now interested in this person?”

“Oh your mother has asked already? It's just that we don't see you with people and it's really nice. I'm so happy you're finally associating with people.” my father held me into a warm embrace, kissed my forehead then left me and Rose together.

“But Elara they didn’t lie. You don’t really talk to people, their reaction is valid. And I think I should be going now, my brother is in town and he has been calling my phone nonstop.”

“Yeah let me see you off, I want to stroll a little and also tell your brother I said hi”

After seeing Rose off I just took a walk, I had no direct destination, I just wanted to think about my life.

I was so deep and lost in my thoughts that I bumped into someone again but this time it wasn't Lucien it was my dance partner Harris.

It feels so good to see him and I was just patiently waiting for him to say something about me not coming to the dance class after he pulled me up from the floor, but he just asked if I was good and I said yes, normally even if I wasn't I'd still say yes. But then he just smiled and walked away or does he not know me anymore? That's odd. Even though we never had a casual conversation aside from it being related to dance, he could have asked why I haven't been available, oh well he probably doesn't give a dime about me and that's fine.

I kept on walking and I was close to where I had seen Lucien earlier on before a vehicle appeared out of nowhere and I couldn't see him again. I noticed something strange, a feeling I can not explain. The necklace around my neck started glowing, it was so bright that two people who had passed me kept on looking at it instead of just walking by. I walked past the place and the glow from my necklace died down, I went back and it glowed again. Now I’m scared, what type of necklace is this? Or maybe it's just the angle of the sunlight reflecting on it. I tried shaking this event that just occurred out of my mind and also my parents need to tell me what type of necklace this is. As soon as I get home I would definitely ask my mother.
