A Dive to Remember

Chapter 15

Third person POV,
Chiara stumbled her way home, fear locked in her bones, afraid of being preyed on by the Royal vampire who had taken over her thoughts, this feeling was new to her, fear yet longing, she was fixed between wanting to forget about everything that happened, go home and going back to the lady, who's soul somehow called out to her, asking her to return back.
She knew she couldn't, perhaps if they were normal creatures.... Perhaps... That word, it frustrated her. She knew the pull she felt towards her was something extraordinary but something that felt right, yet one small knowledge about her being the kind that she feared drove her away. So that's exactly what she did, she hastily packed her bags and booked a ticket for home, craving for her safe space.
Her flight was a three hour long flight during which all she could do was hang between the feeling of Relief and Regret. The realization of the situation now making it's presence known, she had presumably lost the chance to get to know that strange woman.

She only knew a name.... Elara Nightshade. On landing in London, she called up her bestie, "Hey Wills, i-your... Umm... Your girlfriend... She... She isn't a human and s-she is a Royal Vampire" Willow hummed in response and replied "I know, but we are soulmates, initially there were too many questions, too many what ifs, but turns out, a lot of the history told to us is untrue" Chiara shook her head in both disbelief and to make her point "N-no, you saw what happened to M-mom, s-she died by their hand, h-how can you say t-that her k-kind isn't responsible, th-they were there, they did it, they killed my mom" Willow tried to calm her best friend down " Hey girl listen to me, many issues were being lied to us about, many tried to blame the Vamps and Witches, the witches couldn't get blamed because they left after the first part of the war, the vamps fought side by side, they were allies, our kind mingled with them Cici" Chiara shuddered out a breath and said "B-but, even i-if I give all this new information a benefit of doubt, h-how do you explain what I saw? The Queen's Mother was plunging a knife in my mom while mom was injured, she forced us to go into hide because there was no existing strong leader, there was only our tribe and yours, the other tribes were wiped clean, how do you justify that? " Willow teared up at that memory and said "I saw everything too Cici, I was with you, but Cici, we came at the end, when the queen was bent over your mom, what if? What if? The situation was different from what we saw? " Chiara shook her head vigorously and broke down again, after so many years, all those memories had resurfaced....
She felt anger surge in her, a hot, red anger and a new feeling... Vengeance... For her mother and her kind's near extinction.

She knew what she had to do... Woo and kill the queen.... That is exactly what she was going to do...
She kept quiet and told Willow she'll think about everything...
