Mystique Well

Chapter 47: Deceived

(Kyle's POV)

"Don't you think I'm weird?" I asked Monica.

"Weird? Why?" She asked curiously.

"For the last few times I have met you just to cry. Don't you find me weird? Don't you think I'm a crybaby?" I asked.

"Kyle, you are neither a weirdo nor a crybaby. You are afraid of losing your mother and there is nothing weird about that. Everyone feels this way. Hey, you know that I have lost my parents so I understand how you feel." She said while cupping my face with both her hands.

I wanted to say so many things but I neither say or ask anything, just hugged her to whisper, "thank you."

She hugged me too and I melted into the warmth of comfort and solace. I wanted to stay like that for ages but suddenly I heard a cell phone ringtone and she said, "Kyle, I have to take this call." And then I realized I was still hugging her like a koala. I broke the hug and said, "Oh! Umm... sorry." She chuckled and said, "You are so cute." and took the call.

She looked worried while talking on the phone and then she hung up and said, "Kyle, I have to go now, there is some important work."

"Is everything okay? You look quite worried." I asked.

"Yes yes everything is fine, Maya is calling me for some work, nothing else." She said.

"Okay, I will drop you." I said.

"No no, don't bother." She said.

"C'mon Monica, you aren't a bother. Let's go." I said and we both drove away towards her home.

(Mayson's POV)

What was that? What the hell was that? Was that Maya or someone else? Was she possessed? These words kept repeating in my mind, along with the image of her ghastly face. My heart was hammering in my chest and I felt like it would come out anytime.

I called my bodyguard and asked him to come and pick me up and drop me home because I couldn't even muster up the courage to stand up. My whole body was numb. I was terribly scared. Terribly.
———————————————————
As soon as I reached home, I calmed myself down a bit and then started recalling every thing about her. Every single thing.

Our first meeting was an accident. When I was falling from the cliff, she suddenly came to save me and then disappeared. I felt something strange about her since then but I ignored it. Why? If she saved me, she must have also jumped from the same height. How can someone survive after jumping from a height of about two hundred feet? No parashute, nothing, but she was alive. Why did I ignore this? Why? I still remember, once, her hand was hurt and bleeding and she recovered in a few seconds. No medicine, no treatment, nothing but she recovered completely in a blink of an eye. WHY DID I IGNORE ALL THIS? WHY?

And today... whatever happened today, I cannot ignore it. Never. Those bloody red eyes, piercing fangs, demonic face... No no wait. The mysterious murder of that boy in the party, all the mysterious murders in the city... by some blood sucking animal... all of this... blood sucking... blood...fangs... such things are... what!? No... I was thinking and connecting the dots and then I realised that she's a... "va-vampire" I whispered and and felt the ground slipped away from under my feet.

(Author's POV)

Kyle and Monica arrive home and find Enzo standing at the door. As Kyle looked at him, he remembered that this was the guy whom Mayson dislikes and the one who saved his life. At first Kyle thought what is he doing here but then he thought what does it matter to him and anyways this is a good chance to talk to him because he was thinking for a long time that he couldn't thank him for saving his life, so if he ever meets him, he will definitely thank him. Now that Enzo is in front of him, he will not miss this chance.

"Monica, he's Enzo, Maya's friend, isn't he?" He asked and she nodded while saying, "well he's my friend too."

"Oh" He said and frowned and then they both got out of the car and walked towards the door where Enzo was standing.

"Hey! You are that accident guy, right?" Enzo asked and Monica glared at him saying, "his name is Kyle Adams."

"Yeah you are right though I'm that 'accident guy'." Kyle said.

"Uh...Kyle, don't mind, actually our friend gets a bit confuse about people's names." Monica said and Enzo replied, "if you have praised me then go inside, your sister has lost all her brain cells."

Kyle became a little nervous after hearing this and asked, "What happened to Maya? Is she sick?"

"No, no, it's nothing like that. She's...uh...she's just having a headache. Come in, sit and talk to my friend." She said and gone inside.

"She told us to come in. Do you need an invitation now?" Enzo said little rudely and gestured him to go inside. Kyle saw that Enzo was getting irritated so he said, "no please don't bother. I just came to thank you for saving me from getting hit by a car. I never got a chance to say this, so I'm saying it now. I sincerely thank you for saving me that day." Saying this, Kyle started to leave and Enzo felt a little embarrassed for being rude to him so he stopped him and said, "Hey wait! Well you don't have to thank me for that. I did what I thought I should do."

"By the way I'm Enzo Russell." He said and bowed a little.

"I'm Kyle Adams, you already know." Kyle said and bowed too.

"You can come in, or Monica will think I kicked you out of here." He said and laughed. Meanwhile Kyle got a message from Mayson saying, 'Come to my house as soon as possible. And don't meet Stewart sisters even by mistake.'

Strange! Kyle thought and said, "I have some important work so I have to go."

"Alright then see you later someday." He said and paused for a moment and then again said, "By the way, Kyle, it's nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too." Kyle said and then he finally asked what he actually wanted to ask, "if you don't mind, may I ask you, what were you doing here?"

"I don't mind, but it would be if better you ask them." Enzo said with a smirk, pointing to the house of Stewart sisters.

Mayson was right this guy is weird. Kyle thought and then said, "I think I should go now."
———————————————————
After arriving at Mayson's house, Kyle was about to ring the doorbell but noticed that the door was already open. He slowly walked in and called, "Mayson" Just after he called his name, Mayson came running and hugged him and started crying while saying, "deceived. We have been deceived, big brother."
