Mystique Well

Chapter 37: The Unknown Problem

(Genevieve's POV)

Everything was going well in my life. Everything. Then one day a devil came and ruined everything. Why did she come into my life? Why? This woman not only ruined my life but she is ruining Eric's life as well. Why is she doing this? What does she want?

"Hey kiddo" Someone called out and the ground beneath my feet slipped away when I heard this voice. This is the voice of the same devil who has made the lives of all of us hell.

I turned back and said, "yo-you?"

"Yeah it's me. You are staring as if you have seen a ghost." She said and started laughing which disgusted me.

"Even ghosts are better than you." I said.

"Awww! Why you hate me so much, Genevieve?" She asked.

"Because demons are not loved." I said.

"But I'm not a demon, I'm a vampire and that's why I'm loved by your boyfriend." She said.

"He loves me, not you. You cannot take my place just because our faces are similar." I said.

"Correction here. Our face aren't similar. I simply took your face because I'm a shape shifter and I can look like anyone I want." She said and smirked.

"Look Genevieve, I have no animosity towards you but what could I do if you came between me and Eric." She said.

"I didn't it's you who came between us." I shouted.

"Yes I did so what? What are you going to do? You'll kill me huh?" She said glaring at me with her blood red eyes.

I didn't say anything, just stood there and let my tears flow because she is right. I can't do anything. I can't kill her and I can't tell anyone about her, otherwise she will kill my parents. I would rather die myself than let them be killed by someone.

"You can't do anything, Genevieve, you can't do anything. You're so pathetic. And look at me, the powerful, the driver, the immortal." She said and started laughing like a lunatic.

"You are immortal only until your brother finds out about your vile, disgusting deeds. Once he finds out everything, he will hate you too. He will kill you." I said.

"My brother will never go against me, moved by the pitiable condition of you humans. If my brother had to kill me, he would never have chosen me to become immortal instead of himself. And as far as knowing the truth is concerned, who will tell him the truth? You? hmm?" She said in a threatening tone because she knows that I can never tell anything about her to anyone.

You are so selfish. I feel sorry for your brother. He doesn't even know how vicious you are. I thought and shouted, "get out. Get fu*king out of here."

She sighed in annoyance and walked away and I dropped to the floor and let my tears flow from my eyes.

(Kyle's POV)

It's been almost a week since I was discharged from the hospital and I haven't received a call from my father. To be honest, I don't even want to talk to him. Anyway, I should finish my work quickly and not think about all these useless things so that I can meet Monica this evening. She herself called me and asked me to meet her, although there is no special reason to meet, just like that... I mean what is wrong in meeting someone? Right.

After an hour, after bidding adieu to the Management department of my company, I hurriedly came home and started getting ready. I was thinking about which t-shirt to wear when my cell phone started ringing and as soon as I saw the caller ID, my slightly happy heart again sank into the ocean of anxiety. I received the call with trembling hands and said, "h-hello?"

"Kyle" the voice came from the other side of the call.

"D-Dad" I said.

"Please don't cut the line Kyle. Just listen to me for once." He said pleadingly to me.

I didn't say anything, just hummed in response.

"Kyle, my child... how are you?" He asked.

Wow dad! You have the audacity to ask this question? When I was with you I was nothing but a burden. When I left home with grandma neither you nor mom bothered to know about me and now you are acting like you care about me! I thought and said, "dad, I'm really busy right now so please tell me quickly what did you actually call for."

"You hate me so much. Don't you?" He said in a trembling voice and I didn't know how to respond so I kept quiet.

"It's ok Kyle, you can hate me all you want but I need to tell you something very important. It's about your mom." He said.

"What is it?" I asked.

"I can't tell you everything right now. Can you meet us? Please Kyle. It's really urgent." He said.

I sighed deeply and said, "okay, when and where?"

"At the Benevolence Hospital within this week." He said.

"Hospital! Why? What happened?" I asked, shocked to hear the word hospital, which is in another city.

"Sorry son, I can't say right now." He said and started sobbing.

"Dad please tell me. Stop beating around the bush." I said.

"I can't Kyle, just meet us there." He said and hung up.

I lay limp on the bed and felt so many emotions at once. What could be the reason for him to call me to meet them in the hospital? To be honest, I am scared now.

Just as I started looking elsewhere, I got a call again and it was Monica. I received the call and said, "hello"

"Hi, I'm waiting for you at the cafe. Won't you come?" she said and I realized I should have been there an hour ago.

Sh*t. I thought and said, "I'm really sorry Dr Stewart I'm on the way now" I lied and immediately got ready and went out.

(Monica's POV)

"I'm really sorry Dr Stewart I'm on the way now." Kyle said.

Strange. It's been almost an hour since I've been sitting here and he's still on his way! He's clearly lying. He must not have even left the house yet. By the way, his voice sounded a little hoarse. Is he not well? I thought.
