The Kiss of Death

CHAPTER VIII

I woke up to slow knocks on the door. I stood up and was just about to open it , but I hesitated. This wasn't a good idea , opening up the door to an entire population of Vampires.

"Who is it" I called out , my voice still heavy from the deep slumber I had just woken up from.

"Its me , Paul" The person on the other side replied.

Thank God he was here again , though I didn't know him much , but somehow I had come to trust him , he was the only one who was ready to save me when I really was no one to him. He was not a bad person.

I opened the door immediately and what I saw took me by suprise. Paul standing in front of me, disheveled clothes , messed up hair , blood shot eyes , definitely not in a good state.

He marched forward,  held me by my shoulders and looked straight into my eyes.
"Why did you leave Sophia , why didn't you believe me when I told you I was ready to leave behind everything I had just for you, huh? Why did you believe what Ian told you ,  WHY SOPHIA WHY ? FUCKING TELL ME .You were you were everyt-" Paul was straight up yelling at me , and then tears started flowing from his eyes, he was definitely taking me to be someone else.

What do I do , I mean how do I console him when I know nothing about this situation.

"Paul it's me Laura , I'm sorry but I'm not Sophia. Are you alright? " I asked him , still a little shoken up.

I looked back to see Caesy still asleep. Good , I could handle just one person at a time.  But if Paul continued like this , she sure would wake up soon. 

But then suddenly something shifted within him, his eyes darkened,  he wiped up his tears and whispered slowly in my ear ," You're not going anywhere this time , I assure you."

Chills ran down my body. For the first time I thought that maybe Ian could help me here with this little situation. But I did not dare to call out for him. Paul still held some grudge against him and right now I could see all that fury running wild in his eyes. I instead decided to handle all this myself.

"I'm right here Paul , I'm going no where , you don't need to worry" I said trying to calm him down.

His eyes softened, he smiled at me and then the unexpected happened. He leaned in , his eyes on my lips . Wait what!? Not happening, this was definitely not happening .

He was so close to me that I could feel his breath on my face , I knew I couldn't push him away, he was way too stronger than me . I internally called for some kind of help.

And it did come

"Brother , what are you trying to do " came a voice from the door . It was Ian . This was the happiest I had ever been to see him.

Paul looked back at him, his rage returning. He sprinted towards him and they both were in some kind of fight the other second which was very difficult for me to comprehend taking into account the speed with which they were moving.

Things could get ugly here. I shook Caesy , I had to take her to a safer place. She looked af me confusion clear in her eyes.

"I'll explain later , Come on" I said to her . We both tip- toed to the other part of the room,  trying to get into the washroom .

As soon as we got in , I locked the door and sat down on the floor, letting out the breath I didn't realised I was holding. Caesy was wide awake by now,  looking at me , demanding an explanation.

Where do I start from?
