The Hybrid's Dangerous Thirst

Mother who walked in

“When did it come?” Bella inquired in turmoil while taking the letter in her hand.

“Just before the sunset. Now go to your home and read it, don't disturb me again,” Zoya sighed and continued to work again.

“Neither do I have time to waste it on someone like you,” Bella spat before storming out of her office.

“What are you planning of suddenly?” Zoya mumbled to herself while staring at the letter in her hand. “I hope it's not related to past incidents,” she added and kept looking at the envelope.

Bella quickly walked out of Zoya's place to get car where her driver was already waiting for her.

“Mam? Shall we go?” the driver asked catching up her attention from the letter. She nodded to him with a sigh and made her way to step into her to go back home and go through the letters that she just got from Zoya.

“Bella!” the grim reaper suddenly stood before her making her startle.

“Goodness! You ain't ghost, what are you doing? You just scared me” Bella placed her hand on her chest as she complained for the rapid heartbeats he just gave her.

But looking at the grim reader, he looked so worried which he doesn't look normally.

“What's wrong? Are you okay?” bella asked.

She gave him a moment to calm down before he finally spoke up.

“Tha- that girl! She is here, I- I know she is the same girl!” Grim Reaper said. “Yesterday at the park, you were talking to her. It was the same girl who died that night. I- I can't believe she is finally reborn once again,” he said with a smile that held many worries behind it for that girl. He was glad that the girl he knows is born again but at the same time he was concerned.

“Are you sure she is the same?” Bella was confused. She wasn't expecting him to directly recognize girl while watching her from a distance.“Maybe the face is the same but the soul isn't. it happens many times,” she ignore him to step towards her car but he blocked her way standing before her.

“No, I know she is the same!” he said a bit fiercely. “I can recognize her in any face, she was the same girl a few years ago too!” he added in annoyance. “Why don't you trust me?”

Bella looked down with a sigh. “How do I tell you that I know it,” she thought in her mind. “But I can not, I don't want you to get hurt again!” she looked up at him. His eyes were sparkling as he looked at her hopefully so that she could understand him.

“If she is, she will end up at Jacob's hotel,” she finally spoke up looking at him. “ But if she doesn't then she isn't the same girl, dear.”

“I know she is the same girl and I will make things go work for them to meet at any cost!” Grim reaper let her know as he disappeared from her sight before the tears drop down his eyes.

It was late in the night. The mother of the child was walking through the alleys in search of the money only to buy a gift for her daughter and buy some food too. Her daughter already said her not to do anything wrong again to make money. The guilty mother, not able to buy anything for her daughter on her birthday, was upset to go home with no gifts. Her daughter was sleeping alone in the apartment while she was out.

Her mother pleaded to one of her neighbor to let her work in her store for a few hours. But, though she worked in that store for a few hours to work at least something to earn and buy for her daughter but the money she got wasn't enough. The mother was regretting not working hard. She wants to do something for her child, for her daughter's best future.

Walking a little long, a few alleys before her neighborhood, her gaze fell on the hotel which was on the right side of her. It was a small and old building of two storey. She never noticed a hotel in that place before.

She thought it would be some kind of small and low-class hotel, and a better place to ask for the job she can do. At least they won't ask her for her qualification there. She was happy that she can at least earn some money from hard work after getting employed.

As she was a human, with no ability to see magical and supernatural things, she was not able to see the real hotel of about 200-storey building from out. She was only watching a small two-story building with dim lights lit on inside the old wooden frame windows, while a guest house board was hanging outside the gate.

She walked through the gate, towards the main door and stood peeking inside through the windows. “This hotel looks quite decent from in. Impressive!” the mother mumbled and continued to peek through the window to see if she could see anyone inside before she walks in.

She saw a lady who looked rich wearing a peach dress was standing in front of the reception desk. A young boy, who would be probably a receptionist was talking with the rich lady. The receptionist took her to sign in a book before taking her inside the door which opened and closed automatically.

The mother furrowed. “was that an elevator?” she thought. The way this building looks, it doesn't look to be having any elevator. It looks old and so small to have it.

“Why is there an elevator?” the mother spoke to herself. Running her hands over her clothes to straighten them and dusted off her hands on them to look neat before opening the door and walking in. She went near the elevator and pressed the button for it to come back down. Surprisingly the door opened right after she pressed the bottom.

“Of course, the elevator won't take time to open. I guess because it's just two stories? But why do they even need an elevator here in a small building?” the puzzled mother asked herself and stepped inside the elevator.

The elevator took quite much time to reach another floor. The mother kept wondering about when she will reach while gazing up because what she saw from the outer side was just a two-story hotel.

The elevator dinged as she reached, and the doors of the elevator opened. There was nothing before her than a complete dark.

The mother wondered where has she come from. She tried to close the door of the elevator and go downstairs. She changed her mind.

“It won't close,” someone spoke up from the dark side. “Walk out, you will see the real thing,” he added.

“Who are you?” the mother gulped. Many strange thoughts crossed her mind being alone in that place.

“You are the first human who walked herself here for a job. Or else, it is always me to go out and find for the employees to work here.”

The mother laughed shakily. “I- I don't know what are you saying.”

“step out, you will understand it,” Mr Jonas added.

The man talking to her didn't feel like a bad person. she trusted in his words and did as he said her to do.

The mother was amazed by what she saw. It was a large marvellous two storey open hall where many peoples were wandering around in groups and pairs, while some of them were sitting in groups on a different couches.

They looked like people from a very wealthy and noble family.

It seemed to her as if she has come to some kind of party or a get-together of these people. They all looked like rich and high-class people. The mother rubbed his eyes because they didn't look that big to her when she saw the hotel from outside.

She thought as if she was dreaming or as if she has drunk. She walked in there taking a quick glance over everywhere around her. Marble floor, walls, ceiling everything looked royal, expensive, and posh. Three big chandeliers were hanging on the ceiling which gave a more royal look to the hall.

The important thing that shocked her the most was the hall itself. It was of two stories high with a great grand staircase in it while the building was only a two-storey from out. Hall was bigger than the hotel which she looked from out. “How is this possible?” the mother's jaw dropped as she continued walking through the hallways.

The hallway grew bigger and bigger as she kept walking. Many paintings were hung on the walls which looked original and expensive. The mother's eyes widened when she reached the end of the hallway. It was written elevator to 'The Mall', 'Beach', 'Car Showroom', 'Spa', 'Jewellers', and a right arrow symbolised to its side showing the direction. She followed it and opened one of the doors from many beside it.

Bright Light rays fell direct on her eyes. She closed her eyes and slowly tried to open them adjusting with light to look properly. Her jaw dropped again and she choked when she saw a 10 storeys high shopping mall behind the door of the elevator. She walked in, many people were wandering around in there with shopping bags in their hands.

“Am I dreaming? How is it possible to have a big shopping mall in this hotel?” a thought crossed her mind. She felt as if she was dreaming and then continued to wander back in the hallway.

She again went through hallways and reached inside a beauty salon. It was big too, it looked as if it was an expensive salon in the downtown. Customers sitting in looked beautiful and rich too. She walked out from there and again walked through another hallway until she reached near a big door. She was on the top floor now where no one is allowed. The floor where Jonas lives.
