The Truth

Before he could react, I grabbed his collar and kissed him hard. When our lips first met, it set my soul on fire unleashing all the pent up fury I had bottled up these past few days.

Lan Zhan seemed to be stunned at first but then I felt him kiss me back, first gently and then it grew more passionate and hungry. He slid his arm around my waist pulling me closer, pressing closer to me, and deepening the kiss. We broke apart after a while for some air but he did not stop there. His lips moved down to my neck travelling all the way down my shoulder giving me a hickey there and then they were back on my lips, his kiss consuming me once more all over again and it held so much passion, intensity, anger, everything that mirrored my own anguish. I had unleashed his pent up feelings which were burning not just him but me as well. Our lips fought its own battle of wills for domination.

After what seemed like an eternity he broke the kiss all of a sudden pushing me back, looking shaken.

He blinked his eyes once and looked at me sternly.

"Don't do that ever again," he said in an angry voice.

"You say you don't feel anything, don't you? Why did you kiss me back?" I shouted at him tears of anger and humiliation for being rejected streamed down my cheeks along with the rain droplets.

He cursed himself and walked away from there without a backward glance at me, leaving me all alone yet again.

I had no clue what took over me at that instant when I kissed him but it felt so right, so natural. We fit like two pieces of a puzzle and I knew he craved for me the way I did for him. Why was he fighting it? Why was he holding back? Or was I just one of those girls who threw themselves at him every other day? Did I mean nothing to him at all?

Or was it because I am a man?

When I went back to the apartment, he was not there. Good for him I thought but the next moment my heart sank, realising he was not here because of me. I needed a distraction right now to get my head back in place.

I headed back to the gym and pulled out the dummy Lan Wangji had managed to get his hands on for practice. I had brought my dad's stake along with me for practice. Lan Zhan had still not taught me how to use it and after the mishap that occurred in the morning I doubted he ever would.

I recollected the times I had seen Lan Zhan fight those leeches and closed my fingers around the hilt in a firm grasp, bringing it before my eyes.

When I held it this time I felt a tingle run down my spine and though the metal was cool, it felt warm to the touch. I swiped it a couple of times in the air imagining myself attacking a vampire. I turned my attention towards the dummy and drew a long breath and exhaling it,tried to plunge it into the heart of the dummy but I could not move beyond an inch. I withdrew the stake and tried striking it again but I was stopped mid way.

"You're doing it wrong."

I could recognise that deep husky voice from any corner of the world. He took the stake from my hand.

"It's not as easy as one thinks to stake a vampire's heart. To get to the heart, you first need to get past the sternum and the ribs," he told me. He then demonstrated various techniques that would result in quick efficient kills and handed it back to me.
