Mystique Well-Their Arrival

Chapter 64: Love Hurts

... I was totally heartbroken.

"I-I didn't... mean that... I am sorry." He said while wiping his tears. We were quite for a moment and then suddenly a thought came to my mind and I said, "I think there's one more."

"Who?" He asked curiously.

"Aurora. Enzo's sister. I shouldn't accuse anyone without knowing, but I do know that she is the most dangerous and powerful vampire among us." I said and he asked, "do you know about her whereabouts?"

"That's the thing Kyle. We don't know anything about her. We even thought that she died but she's alive and even Enzo doesn't know where she is. That's why he's here in this human world to search for his sister." I said.

"Why is everything so complicated?" He whispered rubbing his temple.

"Not just complicated, but tragic," I said, and then took a deep breath and told him everything. Everything about our past. Everything about Enzo's past. Everything about that well and the fire of revenge Maya had for Mayson. I told him EVERY SINGLE THING.

He was frozen. He was so shocked and stupefied that I could hear his heartbeat and guilt started running through my veins. I felt as if I had committed a sin, because this wasn't the right time to reveal all those secrets, but I couldn't bear the guilt of keeping him in the dark anymore.

"So you were just using me?" He asked, tears started to form in his eyes.

"I thought so... at first but then I realised that I-I did a mistake. The bi-biggest mistake. I hated myself for using you. Maybe I still hate myself. I-I know Kyle you will ha-hate me after everything I said and I won't blame you for this. You have every right to hate me... I-if you even want to kill me I will accept that too. As I have already told you about the weapon now it's your choice. I would never blame you and won't ever stop you from anything. I will just accept." I said and couldn't control my tears.

There was a ghostly silence between us for few moments and then he asked, "Does Maya still want to revenge on Mayson?" and I said, "no."

"Are you sure?" he asked and I said, "I am. She told me about her feelings for Mayson and I can assure you that those feelings can only stem from love."

"And how can you be so sure about this?" He asked.

"Because I know how love feels like." I said and looked into his eyes.

"I-I don't know how to accept all these. I just..." He said.

"You don't have to Kyle." I said.

He didn't say anything. He just placed his head on my shoulder and I was shocked by that. No wrath. Not even a little bit of anger! Why? I thought.

"If I had to hate you, I would have hated you the moment I found out you were a vampire. I'm not that stupid Monica. I had already understood that you and your sister had come here among the humans for some purpose. Otherwise, if the reason was simply to feed on blood, you two would have killed Mayson and me long ago." He said and chuckled bitterly and then continued speaking, "To be honest, I'm angry and hurt, but I can also feel that all of you have had a much more miserable life than mine. You both lost your parents, and so did Enzo. You've all been through a much worse situation than what I'm going through today."

"Perhaps, I'm go-going to lose my mo-mother, so I can understand everything. I-It's strange, isn't it? The past always makes everyone cry, whether human or..." He said and broke down on my shoulder. He clutched the hem of my jacket so tight that his fingers started getting white. I immediately wrapped my arms around him and he whispered, "I just don't want her to die Monica."

I didn't even think twice. I just didn't and said, "I think I can do something."

(Genevieve's POV)

The doorbell rang and as I opened the door, I was astonished...

"Mom! Dad!" I whispered in surprise and they both hugged me.

"You've been through a lot, my child," my mother said while wiping her tears.

"Are you okay, Genevieve?" my father asked, worried, and I was shocked, wondering what was going on! I couldn't understand what was happening when my eyes fell on the man standing outside the door, leaning against the doorframe with a sweet smile on his face.

Enzo!

After seeing him I understood the matter and hugged my parents dearly.
———————————————————
"Thank you Enzo! Thank you so much. You have no idea how happy I am. I can't describe in words. Thank you!" I said this while clinging to him like a lost joey and he laughed, patting my back as if I was a child who had found his lost toy.

"Genevieve, you're saying this for the 100th time." He said.

"I know." I mumbled and my eyes started glistening.

"Hey! Shhh... Don't cry. I have already told you that you are not alone in this now, I am with you. Stop crying, love." He said while wiping my tears.

"Love?" I asked, raising my eyebrows.

"Hey! It's just an instinct you know." He said, his face turning beet red.

Cute! I thought and asked, "by the way how did do that? My parents know everything. Do they even know that you are a vampire?"

"Yeah!" He said.

"And they just agreed to come with you without any objection?" I asked in suspicion.

"That's Enzo Russell's talent." He said nonchalantly and I glared at him with my hands folded over my chest.

"Stop looking at me like that." He said.

"Then tell me what mischief you did." I asked and he said, "I didn't do any mischief, I simply told them the truth."

"And they just believed you?" I asked.

"No they just hate me." He said.

I knew that. I thought and my heart started hammering in my chest.

"I got kicks and punches from your father and slaps from your mother after I told them that I'm your VAMPIRE boyfriend." He said.

"You... what?!" I asked, shocked.

"I had no choice but to say this. Why would anyone believe a stranger, you tell me. They interrogated me thoroughly for five hours and beat me up badly. Fortunately, I'm a vampire, so my wounds healed quickly. Somehow, I managed to convince them that if I died, no one would be able to save you from Aurora. Only then did they calm down a bit." He said and I felt a sharp pain in my heart.

"Genevieve, I made a deal with your father." He said and I asked, "what de-deal?"

"They'll keep me alive until I find Aurora and punish her for what she did." He said.

"An-and after th-that?" I asked in fear.

"I will either have to go away from your life forever or die." He said.

"No. No they can't do that." I said, my tear started flowing from my eyes.

"Hey! It's alright Gene. They are your parents afterall. And tell me, why would they trust any vampire, that too a vampire whose sister made their daughter's life hell?" He said.

"No. I don't agree with this. I'll talk to them." I said.

"Look, Gene, it's not their fault. I made this deal with them myself." He said.

"Do you really want to leave me like that?" I asked.

"Genevieve, I-I love you." He said and tears started rolling down his cheeks.

"Then why... Enzo?" I asked and burst into tears.

"Love doesn't mean clinging to each other. Love knows how to step away. For each other's well-being, we must sometimes learn to step away, right? It is in your best interest if I move away from your life." He said.

"Enzo... I-I can't... I love you." I said.

"I lo-love you too." He said and we broke down in each other's arms.
