THE FOLLOWER

CHAPTER FOUR

Eleanor went into the forest to get some herbs. They had spent six months in Kingsville and Victor didn't feel like leaving. He decided to take a walk before Eleanor got back. He went into her room to get his coat which she had borrowed the previous day. He noticed her bag was open. He bent down to lock it and noticed an old portrait. 'This can't be right' the couple in the portrait were his late parents. There was a little girl standing in front of them and smiling. She looked just like Eleanor. "What do you think you're doing?" Her voice came from behind.

It had now become an everyday thing. Stephanie would go to the garden by nightfall and Victor would cone and take her away.

One day, a messenger from Parad. A land rich in milk and honey brought a letter for the King. It was a proposal for the Princess' hand in marriage. The King was pleased and gave his consent without informing Stephanie.

During dinner, the King brought up the issue and Stephanie disagreed "I will not agree to this!" She screamed and stormed out. She went to her room and climbed out the window to the garden. She found Victor and told him what her father had declared to her. She wept in his arms and he told her everything was going to be fine.

She had gotten used to him. His touches, his kisses and caresses. She didn't want to be apart from him again. She had learnt he was a Wizard and a Vampire but this did not sway her. It was as though he had cast a spell on her. She wanted only him and no one else.

"Tell me Princess, what can I do to stop your tears?" She looked into his blazing eyes"Make Love to me"

"Explain this to me Eleanor!" Victor screamed at the top of his voice. "How dare you go through my things?" Eleanor retorted. She stretched her hands forward and the photo left Victor's hands to her's. "Why are you in thesame photo as my late parents?" Eleanor ignored his question and his the photo in her coat. She locked her bag and went ahead to prepare their dinner.

While she was busy setting the table, Victor sat at the window staring at the night sky. The stars were shining so bright, it was a full moon. "Victor dinner is ready" Eleanor informed him.

"I don't want your food" he replied. She smiled and moved to where he was sitted. She wanted to rub his hair but he brushed off her hand. "Fine, I'll tell you everything" she sighed. He didn't move from his position neither did he stop looking at the sky.

"You remember how your parents died? She asked resting her head on the wall and staring at him. He nodded "They were burnt alive by the Kings men" he replied her clenching his fists. "They died here in Kingsville" she told him and he finally turned to face her. "W...what?! But I don't remember anything. Only the house on fire with my parents in it" he told her giving her a curious look. "I erased your memory so you'll never come back" Victor looked at her in shock. "My powers weren't strong enough then so I couldn't remove the image of the death of your parents" He stood up rubbing his palm on his damp hair "dammit I Can't remember living here"

He felt her hand on his shoulder. "Calm down Victor, I'm not done" she went on to tell him about his parents. Victor learnt his father was a Vampire while his mother was a witch. "How is it I'm still human if my father was a vampire?" "Our mother cast a spell on you so you won't transform till you're fully prepared for it. It's like she knew what was going to happen"

She turned to face Victor who was watching her in disbelief "Our mother?" She cupped her face in her hands Realizing she had exposed herself. "Explain to me Eleanor, how is it our mother and not my mother?" She stood up and walked towards him placing her palm on his cheek "Yes Victor, our mother. You are my younger brother."
