Immortalia

Inspection

After taking my long bath, I keep changing clothes to buy time. “What took you so long?”

 “Can’t you see I’m changing clothes?” He gets the yellow dress with a leather jacket.

 “Here wear this; you should wear formal clothes whenever you face the Elders.”

“I don’t care if they see me like this, I just want to die you know.” I put on the dress but I can’t reach the zipper at the back.

“Why don’t you just turn to us, be one of us?”  He helped me zipper my dress. 

“Thanks but no.” I am confused on what should I do.

 Seriously I’m falling for him. I won’t deny but I love the man in my dreams. I know it’s true but I can’t remember his face. Speaking of, I dreamed of him again, he was with me. He was saying his sorry. In my dreams, I am sleeping or lying on the ground; he tucks my hair and gently kisses my cheeks. I know in that moment I feel safe although the danger keeps lingering around.

“Seriously, do all the ladies take a long time just taking a bath?” He’s making that face again, an adorable yet dangerous face.

“Not all, just me.” I smile at him seductively; I don’t know what I am thinking of when I smiled at him.

We went out of my room. He didn’t lock it. Who would bother to go insider and I don’t have any belongings inside.  It’s all theirs. He really is walking fast. Did he ever consider being a rebel? Who is he if he wasn’t a Nightwalker? And why am I thinking of him? HE IS AN ENEMY.

Passing through the big doors like you see in palaces I am in awe. Great paintings and sculptures, the walls and ceilings are with a sense of vintage touch. If you were in my shoes, you wouldn’t think that there are Nightwalker’s living here. Maybe I get too distracted, I need to focus now and look for some emergency exits.

 “What are you looking for my dear Lightseeker?” Someone spoke and I can’t see where it is.

“Are you looking for me?” He suddenly appeared in front of me.

 “I’m sorry Elder, I didn’t pay my respect.” He bowed at him.

“It’s okay Lance, I want to scare and surprise our dear Lightseeker.”  We went on to the closed room which smells like a lavender but full of books.

 I wonder what these books are. I want to read those. The so-called Elder pulled a book which turns out to be a hidden door.  The room is filled with glasses even the tables and walls.

 “Sit down my dear. Would like some tea or wine?”  He poured some wine down on some glass.

Then he passed the glasses to both of us and looked straight in our eyes. I didn’t know how I held the glass when the last thing I knew is that I refused it.

“Where is the key?” He blankly stares at my eyes.

 “I don’t know what are you talking about” I said furiously.

 “Or should I say, you must be the key” I immediately step back but then someone stopped me.

“I’m not the one you are looking for. I am sure of it that’s why it’s better for you to kill me.”

“Hear us out first.” He said as he continues to come closer to me.

“No, please, don’t touch me!” The Elderian put his hand above my head then I lost my consciousness
