Eclipsed Love:Prophecy's Veil ( Book 1 )

Chapter 6

We went downstairs to find the girl sitting with her family. She turned to look at us and I immediately redirected my attention to the floor I was walking on to avoid looking at her. I heard the slight clink of a bottle,which meant that Damian had probably slipped the bottle from his pocket to somewhere else.

We took our seats with me (unfortunately) sitting straight across from her while Damian sat at her left, precisely where her glass of juice was.

We began to eat, doing some small talk like we always did to divert their attention and then right on que-

CRASH!

"Oh shit! I'm so sorry everyone I-I I just picked it up and the pl-plate just..."
Eyden rambled.

"I'm sorry" he said in a small voice bowing his head.
Damn! He sounded so pitiful that even the coldest of hearts would melt.

"Oh nooo, dear it's completely okay, the maids will mop it up, okay... don't be so sad it's just one plate." Mrs Mehta said obviously taken aback by the pitiful play Eyden just performed.

I saw Damian screwing the lid of the bottle back on in a swish and then slip it back into his pocket out of our view.
He nodded his head at me.

'Okay then let's get started' I thought.

I focused on her eyes slowly letting my thoughts take over hers.
Drink

I thought letting the thought slip into hers, I saw as she worked her hand towards the glass, her slim fingers fit around the glass with beautiful red flower prints on it.

I kept connected to her thoughts.
I felt a bead of sweat working it's way down my nape. I struggled to hold on to her thoughts, to my control over her.
Why was she being so hard to control. I could feel myself having to penetrate some boundary to reach her.

She brought the glass to her lips the rim of the glass connected with her lips when suddenly-

Her hand pulled the glass away and began to put it back on the table.
What?
Shit! The connection snapped and I felt my powers recoil back into me.

I shook my head slightly and looked at her. She was talking to her little brother with a smile that could knock out any angel.

I don't get it ,why didn't that work? I've never failed at controlling anyone before.

She finally stopped talking and turned back to her plate and I redeid myself to start again when her hands moved to the glass on it's own.

Her fingers once again wrapped around the floral patterns of the glass bringing it to her rosy perfect lips.
I had a sudden urge to knock the glass out of her hands.
No! Jesus Christ stay in control.

She tipped the glass slightly and I heard her swallow the drink.
Mission accomplished I thought.
Somewhere in me I felt something tugging at me.
I pushed it out of my mind, not giving myself anytime to thin about it.

I looked at my brothers to find that they had kept our hosts entertained while I worked. It still disturbed me that I couldn't control her.
Well, I was pretty jet lagged probably why I couldn't focus properly.

I watched her enjoying the meal which would be her last. It's a pity she ended up like such a person, with that face if her personality had been a good one then she would have been perfect.

She was the living or currently living remainder that no one is perfect.

I checked my watch and knew that she would be dead in two minutes time.
I looked at Mr Mehta, I nodded my head when his eyes met mine.
He looked at his daughter almost as if in regret.

I looked at her too when suddenly her eyes met mine.

Those dark brown eyes that reminded me of the colour of the muddy banks of a river that I used to go to when I was younger.

She looked back at me in a look of curiosity and something else...
I raised my eyebrows at her and watched as her cute cheeks blushed red for what would be the last time.

She looked at me and gave me a smile that made me feel a stronger tugg at my chest.

I hope you'll forgive me when you're far from here. I don't know who you are but I know that I'll remember you for a lot longer than I've known you.

I know I will...
