The Strings Being Pulled

Ch 84

Liza's POV

I stare at the tube with the poison, it looks like normal bright red blood. It's staying in some mini freezer inside our room so no one gets suspicious. Mother nature really is weird, Harry won't talk about what happened while making the poison. He said he'd tell me soon but I feel worried about him. Maybe I shouldn't ask about it but I just hope he's alright...I hate how fast everything is moving no, it feels like it's gonna fry my brain.

"What's with the staring at the poison." Mr Demon asks out of nowhere.
"It looks like normal blood and how are you gonna get into the vampire?" I ask.
"Well considering I'd have to do it mid-fight, a syringe though it could break so I'm thinking a trap." he answers. "But vampires being berserk makes them unpredictable..."

Mr Demon starts to think which I've never seen him do, he usually has an answer for everything but this time he actually has to think about my question...he also has really dark circles under his eyes. That's a first and I think Harry is just as strong as Asher now too so even more surprising that he has to think. They still train pretty often so I don't know how the deadline is gonna go. Mother nature is too fucking complicated.

"Mr Demonnnn!" I whine, getting him out of his thoughts.
"Sorry Strawberry, I might have to think about this one a lot." he smiles.
"Get sleep first, you have dark circles." I poke his arm.
"When it's just 9pm?" he raises an eyebrow.
"Yes, sleep." I answer. "Besides, I don't know what happened during the process but you probably need rest!"
"I appreciate you looking after my health." he smiles. "I'll take shower first, alright?"

I nod and kiss him on the cheek before he disappears. What a cool boyfriend...wait what. No, not cool, hot, wait no. Stupid brain...obviously I'm hot. But then again the way he is in bed, wait no, fucking brain. Stupid nature, obviously I'm not the problem for thinking like this. It's just that mother nature hates me. I'm not a simp for my boyfriend, he never was my type anyways but he's so hot...

I used to date guys who were brunettes and were popular but Harry is just attractive the way he is. Like first when I met him, he was somewhat attractive but the more I got to learn about him, he just became to hottest man to me. I wanna marry him...maybe I should propose before the deadline? We've only been together for half a year but I wanna put a ring on his finger before the deadline atleast...

"Time to sleep!" I'm suddenly carried up in the air.
"H-hey!" I yell.
"If I'm sleeping early then you're sleeping early too." Mr Demon states.
"Fine..." I mumble. "Only because you will get sleep."

He laughs a little and puts me down on the bed before laying next to me. Something about him feels different, as if there's a lot of stress going on and I don't know why he won't say anything about it. I don't mind if he doesn't want to say anything but I just want him safe too because he's my boyfriend and always takes care of me...

I look at him, he's already asleep somehow...doesn't he have insomnia though? Maybe he's just really tired but atleast he's sleeping and getting some rest...I'm gonna sleep too now. Just because sleeping with him is the best thing, both ways...

*5am, next day*

I suddenly wake up from another nightmare but for some reason, I'm not sweating or feel scared...weird. Mother nature is too weird but atleast I didn't wake up Harry. Though it's freezing so I snuggle closer to him, feels better now. I'm still tired so I'm just gonna fall asleep again but something feels weird...

And I can't fall asleep with this weird ass feeling so I'm just gonna get up without waking Mr Demon. That feels like planning a whole robbery but I successfully manage to do it. I wonder how he's sleeping so heavily when I know he only sleeps lightly...

I unlock the door and walk out into the hotel hallway, walking down the stairs. It's bright but empty and when I reach the lobby, the only person I see is Azula on her phone...huh, isn't it late though?

"Hey kiddo." she says without looking at me.
"Hi..." I reply walking up to her.
"I heard about what you guys are doing, sorry about not keeping our end of the deal but he's too confusing to deal with." she states.
"Atleast you pay a lot." I respond. "Money is life."
"True true, I mean you both were stinking when I first met you but now it looks like you're very well off." she explains. "Asher seems much happier aswell, especially after that incident with him and Harry."
"Do you care about Asher?" I ask.
"If I'm gonna be honest, yeah, I met him at the hospital, he helped us even when we didn't ask him and sort of just took care of us." she answers with a smile. "He's a great friend to me, I'm glad he could help Falker the way he did as he isn't overworked anymore..."

There's a chuckle that comes from her when she says the last sentence, but her words sound genuine. Also can I mention that she's tall, like 180cm (5'10) while I'm just 161cm (5'3). Sometimes I hate being short but then Rose is shorter, 153cm (5'0) while the vampire is like...189cm (6'2). Woah...

"But he seriously needs to chill." Azula states.
"With his lectures?" I ask.
"That and his terrifying interrogations, I monitor them at times." she answers. "He's fucking brutal, no mercy."
"It can't be that bad...?" I question.
"If we're gonna avoid any nightmares, go back to sleep and get permission from Asher to talk about it later." she answers.
