Facade

Chapter 12

I walked to where Lukas was working, maybe the answers are with him. I might check on Vlad and Sylvia once in a while, I don't really understand my fascination towards those couples; there are things I don't understand myself. Luke was with another girl, I rolled my eyes as I walked towards him. The blond looked at me from head to toe, yeah I was wearing jeans and a plain white tee I get, I'm not fashionable. 

"Hey Lukas" I greeted casually

"Hey May, this is Jane a good friend of mine" he says cooly

I saw her expression when Luke referred her as a friend. I couldn't help but feel sorry for her, she seems to have this big crush on Lukas. The Jane girl seemed to have spotted her auburn headed friend as she waved at her, then she left us alone. Perfect.

"I need to talk to you" I whispered

We sat down and everything was quiet, I really didnt know where to start and him just staring at me didn't help either

"What?" I blurted out 

"Nothing" he quickly replies

"You're just like Nuriel" I smirked "Always staring at me as if I came back from the dead"

"Exactly" he laughed while clapping his hands, he really looked like retarded seal

"Anyways, I met some people and I really need you to be open minded" I said "Please"

Lukas placed his palms on his head and grinned "I'm ready Master"

I quickly slapped his arm, I don't know how he will react but I spilled each detail to him. His expression was blank and then he would raise his eyebrows after. I waited for his reply, he seemed to relax a bit 

" Sounds too good to be true" he pointed out

"Does it?" I snorted "Is that all you have to say?"

"Are you trying to compromise our oath May?" he asked frankly " We kill vampires. The end."

" What if some are different like Vlad? He could control it, he wants to be cured you know. And if we try, we can actually find a cure, this doesn't always have to end in a violent way."

Lukas took my hand, there was some sort of electric shock when he held it. It's as if I was familiar with the feeling, our eyes met and he felt the same because he let go 

"Listen, I don't think you shouldn't be telling this to anyone for the sake of Vlad's safety and yours May. If your father finds out, he will label you as a traitor" he warns me "For now, you need to just do what you were made to do"

" I can't do that" I snapped "It's....wrong!" 

I stood up and left without saying a word. They can't make me do this, they just can't. As I headed home my phone rang again and I knew it was Gemma, I answered the phone and immediately felt a strange sensation inside me then again I blacked out.......again.

I opened my eyes and saw Lukas, his eyes were so gentle, grey and mysterious. He was holding my hand. I was just there watching him laying next to me or the girl who looked exactly like me although she had longer hair and it seemed this happend long ago with their different outfits. It seemed like I was in the medieval times

" Do you dream Lukas?" I heard myself ask

"Yes" he replies " I dream of you"

I laughed when I heard him say that, I felt strange, it was as if Lukas meant something to me. My heart was breaking slowly it's as if I recovered something I lost a long time ago

"What's in it?" 

"A story that in time will come true"

"Lukas, if something ever happens to me-"

"-Not a word Elianna. I will hear nothing of it, you will remain here with me in Castelia and you will be well I promise you that"

I touched his face, there was sadness and love in between because I knew that it wouldn't happen and it won't come true yet a part of me felt that there is hope even when it seems everything is hopeless. I couldn't help but smile, I lived long enough but there is always an end and my time was coming. My time to depart was near.

" The world is so beautiful but I...all I did was taint blood on it with my hands. Lukas, my humanity is fading slowly...we cannot..."

I woke up from the trance and I placed my hands on my heart. I recovered something, a memory that was lost was now found. The problem was that my feelings for Lukas wasn't about friendship anymore, it was something more like love with a bit of anger because it wasn't mine, it was from another. 

You're Elianna aren't you?

Yes, I know that I am

And you're the one inlove with Lukas?!

That seems correct.

Are you sure? Cause you don't sound sure!

Listen May, whenever you remember something it's the same as me. I am clueless as you but it seems that Lukas was an important part of my life.

You both were in some sort of forbidden relationship?

I believe you're mistaken, I feel as though there was something more than a forbidden relationship. I can only guess that I had a serious problem but I'm not sure what it is.

Oh goodness, this gets complicated by the moment I remember your memories heck, I don't know why you're inside my body and taking over when I'm at my most vulnerable state.

I wish I had the answers too but I think you should talk to Lukas, he might tell you if he's ready. 

Why do we even look alike?

I am not very sure, really, I am at loss of words.

I walked back to Lukas' place hoping that maybe I can recover some of Elianna's memories if I see him but when I saw him I felt a pang of hurt inside. Why was my heart breaking when I saw his face? I feel like an idiot just standing there being a stalker for all I know. When his eyes met mine I panicked and ran back home as fast as I can. Wow. This will be a very difficult week for me...I think.
