Pandora(complete)

Let's Run

“Are you okay Pandora, you seem absent minded”  Nicholas’ hand has been extended for nearly a minute with a cup of coffee that he made for Bongeka.

“I wish you'd stop calling me Pandora” She said.

“But you are Pandora”
“then I don't know who I am. Care to tell me about Pandora?” she asked  wanting to hear if Nicholas would also describe Pandora as evil just like Marco

“Pandora was a human who opened the jar that was left under her car out of curiosity. She is the one responsible for all the miseries of this world. She had the ability to summon an object into one's hands through either willpower or a hand gesture. Pandora was able to recall the evils to the box once they had been released” Nicholas explained, his explanation gave Bongeka more questions than answers.

“But she didn't know that opening the jar was going to bring problems” she stated not seeing anything evil about Pandora

“Just like you didn't know that opening Pandora's box would bring you problems”

“But I didn't release any evil”

“You possessed evil. You know… This happened many years ago, it was not even during this Era but she does not give up”

“Give up on what?”

“She had her abilities, she wasn't immortal but was given a longer life span compared to humans. But she wasn't satisfied, all she wanted was immortality. She wanted to live forever. When her mortality was closer she swore that her spirit was to be passed from generations to generations. So she chooses her vessels”

“And I happened to be that vessel…”  she said with a sigh. This whole thing made no sense to her, she had no evil in her. Pandora awakened in her but she had no desire to do evil, her heart was still the same.

“This is all your fault, if you didn't take me from home, none of this would have happened”

“Bongeka, this was going to happen. You showed the signs, Dlamini saw those signs. Remember when you were writing your matric exams?”

“I don't remember any of those events”

“Exactly. To be honest with you, Dlamini arranged this marriage so that I could protect you. You were going to be danger to the human race, I don't even want to imagine what they would do to you”

Bongeka thought about what Marco once said to her, that she'd become the government's  specimen. If she turned out to be useless they were going to kill her.

“You need to stop coming here everyday, your master might have you followed” She said changing the topic. The discovery was just too much, it was just enough for the day.

The only person she trusted was Nicholas. He had proven to be loyal to her after Yamkelwe tried killing her with a gas chamber.

“I need to take care of you myself, I don't trust anyone with you” Nicholas said the obvious. 
Bongeka had been living alone in an isolated cabin that no one knew about except her, Nicholas and the witch that helped them with the cloaking spell that no one could ever see the cabin even if it was before his or her eyes.

“I know but I'm a big girl. Staying here alone won't kill me”  She said sipping her cup of coffee that was slightly different from the one she is used to. Apparently the vampire grows their own coffee that is for their kind.

“Pandora, I won't leave you all alone here, what if you run out of food or any other necessities. This is not a human world where you can wake up and decide to go to the spa a for bread”

“Where did you get those?”  she points at the chocolate muffins Nicholas brought her.

He chuckled “This is 2021, modern vampires eat such things. The difference is that we grow them ourselves and they contain different ingredients.

“I hope you are not feeding me human blood”  The thought of her consuming human blood made her abhorrent.

Nicholas shook his head no “I'd never do that to you” he said with a smile

“I know” she returned the smile. They just sat in a comfortable silence, their eyes fixed on each other, their hearts beating hard and fast, their lips were two centimeters away…

Nicholas stood up in swift when he felt the presence of Bianca, his mate.
“I have to go. The sun will be rising soon”  he said, within a second he was out of sight.

“I've been looking for Nic, what are you doing in the forest?”  Bianca asked when Nicholas appeared out of nowhere.

“Hunting” he realized after the word left his mouth that he just uttered rubbish.

“Haha come on honey, a human can't be possibly wandering around in a vampires den” Bianca laughed at Nicholas’ sly response

“We need to go, the sun will be rising soon” He said ignoring Bianca’s statement

“Ahhh it's just one O'clock. We have a few hours to chill here before the sunrise.

“Lets just ago, Yamkelwe must be worried about us”

“You mean that creepy bastard can be worried about us? You got jokes”

“Well yeah you are right but we need to go.  About Yamkelwe… I'm coming for him.

“yeah right!”
