The Vampire’s Forbidden Mate.

Chapter 3

Elara's POV

I woke up sweating profusely, I tried to remember what I had dreamt about but I just couldn't. I was filled with confusion and fear, knowing that I had a terrible dream that felt so real but as soon as I woke up all memory of the dream vanished leaving me in a state of fear and confusion.

I heard the home phone ringing. I wonder why it’s so loud. So I went down to answer it.

“Hello, it’s Elara Veyne on the line who am I speaking with?”

“My love I have missed you so much”

“Rose?” I asked recognizing her voice, tears rolled down my cheek out of joy.

“Yes love I'm back in town for a while cause of my father and I'm so glad. I lost your contact earlier than expected. I’m really sorry. I know you would have felt like I didn't want to have anything to do with you anymore. I was going through my old stuff when I arrived then I noticed I wrote this number on my note.”

“Honestly, I felt bad Rose but I had to force myself to accept the distance. I even reached out twice but there was no response. But I'm really glad you called and you're in town.”

“Can we meet up tomorrow?” Rose asked

“Definitely I can't wait”

“Later then. We'd talk later”, then Rose hung up.

I'm so glad I'm finally reconnecting with my best friend but right now I have to figure out what to eat. I went back up to freshen up, then I settled for a white basic top and a pair of shorts. I did not know what to do with my hair so I just brushed it and packed it in a ponytail. I felt good, I know I looked good but I had to change my top and put on a black basic top instead, I don't want to eat and stain my top mistakenly.

I went back down into the kitchen to heat up the food my mum left for me. After eating I worked a little.

Ughhh being home alone is so boring I think I should stroll a little, can't be indoors all day.

I grabbed the keys to the house and left. I can't remember when last I had this much zeal to take a stroll to the park, it's usually a thirty-minute walk and I hate long walks especially when I’m on my own it feels longer, but I needed this. I still could not shake off what had happened last night, what was that or was I hallucinating?

If that wasn't enough I had a rough night, waking up not to remember what I had dreamt of and what was that weird stuff that happened with the fridge? Maybe I’m just tired and seeing things.

“Hey, watch where you are going!!!” a young man shouted while running towards me and grabbing me by my wrist just in time, which pulled me away from my deep thoughts.

“Did you block your ears or are you blind?” Now I'm staring at who just saved me and it was no other person than the new student. I can't even remember his name.

“You don't need to be rude because you saved me,” I said

“Then I should have just left you to be run over but unfortunately I can't. I won't be able to live with the thought of seeing my classmate die in front of me when I know I could have done something” he said with so much calmness with his arms folded.

“You talk a lot for someone who could barely say a sentence in front of the class” I responded. I honestly do not know why I'm being mean to him, I couldn't help it.

“Ohhh so you can recall what had happened, I thought you were too busy checking me out” he said teasingly.

My eyes widened in shock and I could feel my face getting all red. I can't let him know what he said was true.

“PLEASE if I were I would still remember your name I think it starts with an L, can't remember” After saying this I started to walk away but he did the same following me behind.

When I noticed he kept following me I stopped walking “Why are you following me?”

“Sorry I didn't mean to be a creep but I never got to know your name”

“Why would I tell you my name?”

“There’s really no need to be hostile can we please just be friends. I'm Lucien anyway” he said with pleading eyes. I don't even know why I'm pushing him away, but I love the fact that he is not bothered by it and doesn't seem like he's leaving anytime soon.

“I’m Elara, Elara Veyne”. I responded smiling. I just couldn't help but smile.

“I feel you should smile more, you look better when you smile at least people will be willing to approach you” After he said that my smile dropped instantly then I just continued to walk towards the park’s direction and he kept on following me.

“You know I can call the cops on you right now cause I don't know why you keep following me”

But he just shrugged and said because we're walking towards the same direction doesn't mean he is following me.

But I didn't say anything more because I was genuinely enjoying his company. We got to the park and we just had a random conversation, he got to know that I’m an orphan. Funny how I don't even know if my biological parents are alive or not but I’m glad my foster parents treat me like their own.

Time was already far spent and now I’m very hungry, luckily there is a food truck not too far from where we were sitting and I decided to get food for myself because Lucian was adamant on not eating so I let him be.

I got rice and some sauce with it, I'm not sure if it has a name but it tastes really good.

“Lucien are you sure you're not hungry?” And he just nods in response.

I had some tacos and later got ice cream. I’m so full right now, but the food is worth it. I even need to get back home cause I’m unnecessarily tired.

Lucien asked if he could escort me back home but I disagreed, he wasn't even open to me about his family but wanted to know everything about me and I just kept talking. Lucien got up to leave before me and we both greeted each other goodbye.

I honestly can't seem to understand why his presence fills me with unexplainable strength. After he had left I had a serious headache immediately which is odd, so I decided to get drugs before going home.

On my way to the store I had seen Lucian walking suspiciously towards the back of a building across the street and I just had to follow him out of curiosity. What my eyes had seen my mouth can not explain well enough in order for people to believe.
