Mystique Well

Chapter 48: Vampire or Not?

(Monica's POV)

My sister was hugging me and crying and repeating the same thing over and over again that she messed up everything and now Mayson will hate her.

"Shh... it's okay. Everything will be fine. Hmm? Don't cry." I said while caressing her back.

"Nothing will be fine. He saw me turning. He saw my fangs. He saw me. He saw my real identity." She said.

"Maya see you calm down first okay? He may have seen you turning into a vampire but you can make him forget everything. You have the power of hypnosis. Right? Don't be so upset, everything will be fine." I said.

"But I tried to kill him today. I strangled him and I was about to bite him and suck his his blood. I can't... I can't face him now." She said.

"Hey! Hey! Calm down. Shhh... first you tell me where did you get the blood from? Are you feeling any better now? You shouldn't have starved yourself for three months." I asked and she gave me an empty blood bag while saying, "here it is."

"What?! Don't say that you stole it from any blood bank." I said.

"I didn't, Enzo did. He has the whole blood bank in his house. He use to keep these for emergency." She mumbled.

"And how that brat did all these?" I asked.

"He told me that he hypnotized the shop owner and brought the entire shop to his house." She said and I face palmed while saying, "he's indeed a thing."

"Sister, does Kyle know you are a vampire?" She asked.

"Ofcourse not." I said getting shocked to hear that weird question out of the blue.

"Why are you asking that?" I asked.

She sighed and said, "I think we should tell them everything. Don't you think they deserve to know the truth?"

I was shocked to hear her words but to be honest, she did not say anything wrong. After all, someday they will know the truth.

"What's gotten into you Maya? Just a while ago you were saying that you wouldn't be able to face Mayson and now you are talking about telling them the truth. Aren't you afraid that he will hate you?" I asked.

"I know he will but... I can't think straight. My mind isn't working right now." She said.

"To be honest, I also feel that we should tell them everything but Maya, not right now. We have to wait for a few more days because Kyle is distressed these days and his mother is going to have a bone marrow transplant in a few days, so I cannot tell him all this right now. And anyway, we are still not completely sure that Mayson's family is not the murderer of our parents, so we should continue this lie for now." I said.

"So when will we find out who the real culprit is? Don't you think we are straying from the purpose for which we came here? In this human world?" She asked.

"You are right but now is not the time to think about all this. For now you have to make Mayson forget everything that happened today." I said.

"Alright. But what will you say to Kyle?Kyle and Mayson are best friends. Do you think Mayson won't tell him everything that happened today?" She asked and my heart started hammering after hearing that because I do not have the ability to make someone forget their past memories. Only those vampires who drink human blood can do this and I drink animals' blood.

"Don't worry if you say so I will make Kyle forget everything but sister, are we doing the right thing to them?" She said which made me compelled to think about it.

(Kyle's POV)

Mayson and I were sitting facing each other. Fear, anger, horror, shock, all the emotions were running through our veins simultaneously.

When he told me about Maya, I couldn't believe it, instead I thought that he might have had a nightmare. Despite his repeated sayings, I'm not ready to believe that Maya is a vampire. How can I just believe it? A vampire. Seriously!

"Mayson are you sure she's a vampire?" I asked him for the 100th time and he got irritated and said, "no matter what I say you won't believe me, will you?"

"I believe you. I believe that something is wrong with her but I can't just believe that she's a vampire." I said.

"You tell me, if she is a vampire then how can her sister be a human being?" I asked.

"Are you sure Monica is a human?" He asked while fidgeting his fingers.

I thought very deeply and said, "so far I haven't noticed anything about her that would make me believe that she is a vampire. Even today when I went to their house..." Before I could finish my words he said in panic, "you went to their house! Are you alright? Did they hurt you? I told you not to go to them by any chance, didn't I?"

"Relax, I'm absolutely fine. Okay? I just went to drop Monica off at her home and I got there long before I received your message." I said and he replied "oh".

"When I went there, I saw Enzo and he told Monica that Maya was sick. That's all what happened." I said.

"What the hell was Enzo doing there?" He asked getting annoyed.

"I don't know. Woah Mayson, that's all you heard? Enzo?" I asked.

"No, I heard the rest of what you said too. So she's sick. What kind of sickness is this in which her fangs came out? Her fangs, her eyes... Please believe me Kyle, SHE IS A VAMPIRE. I have noticed many strange things about her before but always ignored it. But whatever happened today, I cannot ignore it Kyle. She attacked me. Tried to kill me... maybe not?" He said and started zoning out suddenly.

"What?! Mayson. Hey!" I tapped him lightly and asked, "what do you mean by 'maybe not'?"

"She tried to kill me but at the same time she was also asking me to run away from there. Why? If she wanted to kill me then why was she asking me to run away? She was trying to protect me from herself?! If she is...she is a vampire then why hasn't she killed me yet? I have been with her many times but she has never tried to harm me, in fact she has saved me many times and even today when she had the perfect chance to kill me she was constantly telling me to leave!" He was blabbering to himself but I understood what he was trying to say and I think he's right. Vampire or not, I think her intention was never to harm him, because if she wanted to, she would have killed him at the first meeting itself.

"Mayson, look, whatever the matter is, only these two sisters can tell us." I said.
