The Vampire's Sweetheart
Chapter Eighteen
───────────────────────────────────
Khai was standing next to Xilo, when she noticed Khalida's energy begin to turn into a swirling mess of colors. Her head titled as confusion began to fill her senses; why was the muse so flustered upon meeting Mr. Valentina? She kept her head facing forward, but that did not stop Khalida's energy from clouding the room, covering everyone else's energy. Khai gasped as she was unable to control the muse's energy, and she stepped backwards nearly colliding into Josef, who had snuck into the room unannounced. He gripped her gently, before looking at her with concern. Khai did not notice however, she was trying to figure out what was going on with Khalida.
"This is the intruder?" Mr. Valentina's voice put her thoughts on pause for a moment, as she nodded her head stiffly as a reply. They still have not had a regular conversation since the incident, and it was not like neither of them did not want to; it is just they never had the time to. Everyone has been busy nonstop preparing for the upcoming war, and no one has time to play house and mend what was clearly broken.
Khai twitched as she noticed all of the colors had swirled into a dark grey, meaning fear. Her head turned towards the source of the energy, and in this moment she wished she had her sight; just to see what the muse's face looked like. Was she holding herself together with a brave face or was fear and panic written across her forehead?
"What is your name, girl?" Mr. Valentina spoke to the seductive, red-haired woman with the bright green eyes, as she stepped forehead unable to hide her hesitance. He knew she was a muse; he did not need for her to tell him that. He had come across many of her kind, and he was now able to recognize them immediately; no matter whose head they had attached to their body. The woman's hips swayed as she approached his desk, her chin held high and a flirty smile was on her face as she winked at him licking her bottom lip. However, he was still unable to resist their charm as he felt his skin grow clammy and hot with discomfort.
"The name is Khalida, and you are?" Her voice was filled with confidence, but even Xilo could notice the slight tremble of her bottom lip. Everyone in the room, except for the man himself, was wondering why Khalida was suddenly afraid.
"Victor Valentina." The name sent a chill down Khalida's spine, but she kept her composure. Her mind was racing, as she desperately wanted to share what she had just discovered to Locaine and Novienna, but she knew there was no way they would let her escape from their vision. Her eyes flickered over to Khai, who was staring upwards as if there was something flying around and she was trying to figure out what it was doing and where it came from. She frowned slightly realizing she would not be able to help the two lovebirds with this situation. She shivered knowing Mr. Valentina killed his own daughter; she wish she could remember why, but everything was a blur as she tried to recall the vision.
