Mystique Well-Their Arrival

Chapter 52: Their Real Face

(Author's POV)

Kyle and Mayson were standing outside Maya's house and were signaling each other to ring the doorbell. When neither of them had the courage to ring the doorbell, they both took a deep breath and knocked on the door together.

Maya was sitting in her room reading a book and Monica was lying on the couch in the living room. Both of them had already sensed who was outside the door and when they heard a knock on the door, both of them ran together and stood in front of the door and started signaling each other to open the door. When they heard a knock again, both of them took a deep breath and opened the door together.

As the door opened, the four of them avoided eye contact with one another, as none of them knew what to say. Kyle somehow made eye contact with Monica and said, "Hey!"

"H-hey! Please come in." She said and smiled awkwardly.

As soon as they went inside, Maya said, "You both sit down, we will bring some coffee for both of you." And saying this, Maya gestured to Monica and both of them started going towards the kitchen but Mayson grabbed Maya's wrist and Kyle grabbed Monica's wrist, preventing them to go anywhere. Maya and Monica were shocked and then Mayson said, "We have not come here to drink coffee." Kyle further said, "We have come here to know the truth. Can we?"

The two boys let go of the girls' wrists and Monica changed the topic and asked, "Kyle, how is your mom?"

"That's not the answer to our question, Monica," Kyle said.

Maya took a deep breath and asked, "What do you both want to know?"

"What are you?" Mayson asked sternly.

"Don't you already know? Haven't you already seen my fangs? Haven't you already seen what I am?" Maya asked and Mayson's eyes filled with tears and he mumbled, "Vampires."

"Yes, we are." Maya said and her eyes filled with tears too.

Kyle was shocked to hear this and he grabbed Monica's shoulder with trembling hands and asked, "You too...no...you're not. She's lying, isn't she?"

"She isn't." Monica said, trying her best to hold back her tears. Those words numbed his senses and he let the salty liquid flow from his eyes.

"Kyle I... don't be afraid of me please, I will never hurt you." Monica said.

"I'm not afraid. I'm hurt." Kyle said and Monica's heart ached at the words.

"I-I'm sorry Mayson." Maya said to Mayson and he asked, "Why? Do you regret being a vampire?"

"Do you regret being a human?" She asked him and he had no idea what to say.

"You don't. Then why would I?" She asked.

"So what are you apologizing for? For trying to kill me? For trying to make me forget everything? For what?" He asked quite harshly, but the guilt and regret running through her vains didn't let her say a word.

"Listen to me, we need to talk about this and I can explain everything to you." Monica told the two boys.

"When I called you guys millions of times, there was no response from anyone. Oh yes, your sister definitely came to my house to make me forget everything so that I would never know what you both are and now you are eager to make us understand everything. Wow!" Mayson said laughing sarcastically.

"Mayson let's go from here." Kyle said and everyone looked at him in surprise.

"But Kyle…" before he could say anything else, Kyle yelled, "I said let's go" and dragged Mayson out of the house with him.

(Genevieve's POV)

I was exploring Enzo's room and I noticed that there was a huge glass cabinet in his room in which some ancient statues and photographs were kept as a display. I went a little closer and saw that in some photographs Enzo was alone which looked very recent and some photographs were of very old times in which there was a middle aged woman and a middle aged man with two small children in their lap. Perhaps these were his childhood pictures in which he looked very cute and this woman and man must be his parents and this little girl must be his sister. One thing I was not able to understand was why they were wearing such ancient clothes. I mean that looking at these photographs it seemed as if these were from many centuries ago and I found this thing very strange.

I was looking at these photographs when a voice came from behind me, "Are you looking at the photographs?" I turned and saw Enzo standing behind me.

"Are these your childhood pictures?" I asked and he nodded.

"Are they your parents? And is that little girl in their lap your sister?" I asked, pointing to the photographs.

"Yeah" he said.

"Where do your parents live?" I asked and he said, "They are no more in this world. At that time I was eight years old and my sister was only six," and my heart ached hearing his words.

"Oh! I'm so sorry. How did all this happen?" I asked.

"A war took their life." He said and I asked confused, "war?"

"Uh... I mean an accident. They lost their life in an accident." He said and I avoided asking anything further as I did not want to hurt him by reminding him about his past. While looking at his childhood pictures, my eyes got stuck on a picture which made my body tremble with fear. A picture in which a young girl was standing next to Enzo and it did not take me even a moment to recognize that girl.

"Sh-she? Who is she?" I asked him and he said, "my sister. The one whose childhood pictures you just saw," and hearing this, the ground slipped from under my feet.

"Au-Aurora. Isn't she?" I asked him and he was shocked to hear this and asked, "How do you know my sister's name?"

(Enzo's POV)

Normal conversation was going on but suddenly Genevieve got scared after seeing a picture and she asked, "Sh-she? Who is she?"

"My sister. The one whose childhood pictures you just saw," I said.

"Au-Aurora. Isn't she?" She asked and I was shocked to hear this.

"How do you know my sister's name?" I asked her and she started stuttering in fear, "sh-she... your sister...va-vampire. she is a vampire," and I was flabbergasted to hear this. How did she know so much about my sister, the one I've been searching for all these years? Could it be that she's met my sister and knows where she is? If so, I'll have to ask her everything.

"You know her? How?" I asked her but she started trembling with fear and tears started to form in her eyes and she said, "this means you are also a vampire." Hearing this, I got panicked and went forward to calm her down but she stepped back in fear and said, "no don't. Stay away from me. STAY AWAY."

"Genevieve listen. I won't..." Before I could finish my words she ran out of my house leaving me shocked and hurt. I don't know why but I felt really hurt.
