Time was going really quick, and my heart beat was not left behind. I spent the whole time in Sandy’s room playing video games or even watching Netflix a times. She told me a lot of stories of how the Petal coven runs. It is different from other covens and they live more of like a boarding school. They are free to move around the compound since they are protected from direct sun rays since the design used is so magnificent. They learnt basic vampire skills, fighting, governance and matters concerning territory. History was optional since everyone has his or her own theory on how vampires came to exist. Mostly it was kept at bay by many students. They had games too where they were forbidden from using their skills instead they played like normal human beings.
We chat a lot with her and most of the time we would crack jokes and laugh so much. My meal was brought in by Ari. She joined us for some time before going back to her daily duties.
Well, I was enjoying myself except that I was so nervous as if something really awful was about to happen!
“Keep it down will you, your heartbeat is so loud. You wanna damage my ears?” Sandy said not bothering to glance at me.
“Is it loud…?” I asked nervously “I had no idea” their hearing senses were so amazing.
“Now, are you ready to tell me what is bothering you?” she faced me now, full attention on me.
“You know, I was just wondering why my system is behaving differently this days” I glanced at her, she beckoned me to continue “You know that day I saved Grey,, it was through the help of the super speed, yesterday I pushed a closet all by myself, jumped on a bench and it broke, I was even able to teleport to Dermot’s room this morning,” I paused for some time “and I have even greater senses now, I can taste every single ingredient in food, I can smell things so easily, feel peoples presence even before they are there and my ears are not doing me any justice either. I can hear people’s whispers all over my head. It makes me sick”
“Wow, so early…I mean that is fantastic don’t you think?” Sandy exclaimed happily.
“You don’t get it Sandy, am human. Am not some vampire or any of those supernatural creatures! Am human Sandy, I lived the usual, a very normal life and now this is happening… I feel like am losing it and…and something bad will happen as a result”
“Don’t overthink it so much Becky but, with the tasting thing and those super senses you got, we can do some testing, come with me”
She dragged me out of the room and sped to the left in a super speed, I just saw a streak of colours of her clothes and skin followed by a light breeze then nothing at all. I sighed took a step followed by a surge of energy that pushed me forward. It was so magnetic that I couldn’t resist. Then I was feeling like I was flying, I came to a halt running into Sandy who was standing at the door.
“Wo, am sorry I didn’t see you there”
“How the hell did you do that? I mean I got here a mini-second ago and now you are here crushing into me like an over-speeding car!” she teased.
“Now you see, I told you I got a little weird this days!” I exclaimed with little excitement.
“I thought you were pulling my legs…” she laughed nervously “now I got to believe it, come on let us do some tests!”
She dragged me into the spacious well varnished kitchen and made me sit. She began searching around the drawers and cabinets and extracted a recipe book.
“What was that that you ate today?” she asked perusing through the book
“Lamb shank with risoni and tomato.”
“Mmh, here we go” she opened the fridge and extracted a bowl set it in the oven for a while then brought it out “All ready, now take it, taste then I will check in the recipe if the ingredients you will mention are the ones, mmh?”
“Okay” I took a spoonful every taste distinct on my tongue as if I was eating a single ingredient per time.
I closed my eyes calming my nerves “mmh, French trimmed lamb shanks, plain flour, olive oil, cloves garlic, white wine, tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken stock, risoni pasta…”
“Fine, fine I get it. You said everything right. That’s enough gosh, someone could say you cooked it yourself, okay now the second test. I will open several bottles around, then with eyes closed, you will tell me what it is!”
I nodded in agreement, she arranged several bottles on the counter and asked me to close my eyes.
“That?” a strong scent filled my nostrils
“It smells like dish washing soap, lemon scent”
“You got that right, now the second one”
“That is pepper…salt…cinnamon…garlic….masala…”
“You ticked everything, now let it come to touch…your eyes closed then I will use different objects tell me the material”
I nodded and the test began.
“Wool…specifically sheep wool, that is silk…nylon…cotton…a mixture of nylon and silk…leather…gosh those are feathers!”
“This is the last one now!” she sounded playful.
“Mmh that is fur from a wild cat family animal…a panther?” I was not so sure about it now “it smells fresh soil and decomposing organic matter and the wild…the forest…wait…is that Ben?” my eyes shot open when a growl filled my ears.
“Ben, I missed you….wow, you are growing really quick!” I took him from Sandy’s arms hugged him and began stroking its smooth fur.
“Did you say something?” I glanced at Sandy.
“No, nothing at all”
“They are so fond of each other, was that you?”
“Well, I confirm the hearing sense too…what is left is sight, we will do that some other time. I will be in my room if you want to find me!”
“Wait…” but she had already sped off. “Mmh, now it is your turn for scolding now, why did you help me against Keith?”
Ben snarled furiously “Oh, you don’t like him? Me neither so you love Grey instead?” he wagged his tail excitedly.
“Will you allow me to be your guardian? I think you are a good panther, I can be a good master, I promise” I was not even sure of what I was promising, but Ben was so happy, he wagged his tail excitedly. Well, it was time to change the story of my life to something else, my normal life was way gone and forgotten. A knock at the kitchen door and suddenly an aura of a very powerful vampire hit the room. Ben snarled, I stroked his fur to calm him down and headed for the door.
“Master Grey is calling you” a cold vampire said as soon as I opened the door, wait, wasn’t this the guy who attacked me when I was heading to the basement to release Reni? I noticed I was ogling on his magnificent figure but gosh he was hot. Abs, a broad chest revealed from the few unbuttoned buttons. He was the hottest black man…vampire I have ever seen, well besides Grey…he is not black though. And those dread locks, gosh how would they look on me. An athlete body, a thick frame. Damn why wasn’t I born a man?
I was dragged from my thoughts when he snapped his fingers in front of me. A creepy smirk split his maroon lips, I was pretty sure I was tomato red.
“If you are done admiring what you see, am ready to repeat that master Grey is calling you” he said proudly, torturing me. I held my chin high, oh boy if only I wasn’t blushing like hell, I could have torn his ego apart.
“How did you know I was here?” I asked evading his dehumanizing tortures.
“Your scent is all over the place” he answered casually and began to head towards Grey’s room, I followed beside him.
Wait, do I smell? Or maybe it is my scent? Oh I use lemon and peach a lot so what does he smell? Oh, I get it, he smells like…wood wow, what a rich smell he got.
“I didn’t say you stink, don’t give me that gaze. The scent am speaking about is the human scent okay?” he said, I stopped for a while then followed.
“Oh, not the scent like that one of wood?” I asked absent minded.
“What? That is my scent…wait, how did you know it” he paused and turned his gaze towards me. Dude, this guy was tall, I felt so small. I looked at him innocently, he smiled suddenly and poked my nose.
“Don’t give me puppy eyes, I was not going to eat you” he began walking I followed him. Am liking this guy, he is playful and not as cold as Grey is or as bad and scary as he was when I first met him.
“I know you got some abilities” he continued “I witnessed your speed when you attacked Keith. So no doubt, after all you might be one of us”
“Wow, one of you that can be cool, grrrh with those sharp fangs are red eyes. So cool damn!” he stopped, I almost crashed into him as I contemplated how I could look like as a vampire. He turned to face me, in his vampire form. A shiver ran down my spine but struggled not to let my guard down. I studied his handsome face for a moment, tiptoed and touched his protruding fangs. They were sharp, not to mention clean.
“Does it hurt? When they come out?” I asked stroking his fangs forgetting who he was or even not noticing the intimate position we were in. he stiffened and closed his eyes retracting his fangs. He grabbed my hand heaved a sigh and looked down at me.
“It doesn’t hurt little squirrel, but it feels a little itchy”
“Oh, well I thought it might hurt coz they literary come from beneath your gums” I pulled my hand away, we began walking again “So what else do your fangs do other than feeding and claiming mates and servants?”
“Fangs can kill as well, what they need to do is processed by the brain. They can also cure” he answered sliding his hands in his pants pockets.
“Wow, wow, now I wish I had fangs too” I said excited sounding stupid at the same time. He laughed lightly and smiled.
“Man, you got a hot smile there. Why are you so perfect?” he burst into loud laughter in which I surprisingly took part in.
“Jeez, where were you all this time. You flatter me, I wish I knew I could be having someone to make me laugh all the time” he said all smiling.
“Well, I was in your coven locked up in Grey’s room with deadly vampires roaming outside seeking my blood!” I answered casually.
He heaved once again “well, if I knew you were this fascinating, I could have freed you. And by the way, am sorry I attacked you that day” his expression darkened, was he feeling guilty. No, he shouldn’t. I ran in front of him, he stopped staring down at me with a sad gaze, I tiptoed and pinched his nose, and he smiled.
“Now, you are a lot better, if I were you I could have done the same thing to my enemy. So please don’t feel guilty a little bit, till now I think you are the best of them all. You are a great guy.” I smiled and I got the hottest smile in return, it warmed my heart. He cupped my cheek then patted my head.
“You are an angle little squirrel” I smiled at him idiotically.
“Come on now, Master Dermot is waiting” he held my hand in his large one and we headed for Grey’s room laughing and chatting all the way.
