Eternally to be Loved... *ON HOLD*

CHAPTER 12:- Healed pain...

       I wake up and stretch my arms . I feel so stiff. Soon I realised that my body was hurting no more. I looked at my wrists and my thighs. Not even a single cut. Weird! I got up to go for a bath. When the water touched my skin, it felt nice instead of burning. The burns on my neck and arms were felt no more. I look into the mirror. No marks either. How could it heal overnight?
           Unless... I quickly changed and ran down to the kitchen. All of them were in the kitchen. "Who put vampire blood in my system?" I ask, angrily. My hands were on my hips. "Well, Good morning to you too." Ash says pleasantly while the others were busy giving me weird looks. "Answer!" I shout. All of them shook their heads. "Then please answer the question. Is it possible for a human to heal overnight so abruptly?" Making my tone dangerously sweet. Zac stood up. "Kristy, No one put vampire blood in your system. I actually healed you." "What? "

Flashback begins....

      I crept into her room with Chris. We decided to heal all her wounds. "Chris, you better show me all her wounds." He agrees with a nod. I remove the quilt.  She was wearing blue halter and black shorts. The cuts on her wrists begin to show off.
          The blue smoke was evolving in my hands and they began to soothingly heal her cuts. They began closing up. Ash points at her thighs. Soon they were healed too. Then her neck. She had bad burns over there. She always wore polo necks or a scarf so we couldn't see. Her burns  turn red to soft pink. Hopefully she was completely healed.
       I whispered to Chris. "Done?" He shook his head. Suddenly Kristy turns on the other side. We actually thought she got up so we hid under the bed. All because she muttered thank you. She talks in her sleep? Ya, I knew that. That was nothing new. He points to her back. Back? How did she hurt her back?
        He whispers to me. "We pinned her 4 times to the wall. What do you expect?" Oh, our strength.  I pull her top up. She had bruises and burns. I heal all of them. Her bruises began to turn from purple to blue to red and then they fade.  Finally she was completely healed except her scars. I didn't know the reason of her those scars so I had no right to heal them.
          Chris mutters to her "Good night, Love." and goes away. I whisper "Sweet dreams, Angel." as I brush off the hair on her face. She sighs in her sleep.

Flashback ends...

ZAC'S POV

     "I have the power to heal." I say calmly, as it is I knew the next question in her mind. I know I'm no Ash or Chris but I still knew. "But, I thought each vampire had only one power?" She asks. Her body had finally relaxed and she came and sat beside me.
         "Thats because I'm not a normal vampire." "What do  you mean?" She asks curiously. One thing I definately know about Kristy. Her curiousity burns like a flame which cannot be extinguished until it has been completely satisfied. "I am one of the original purebloods."
            Before she could ask any other question, she was made to eat. Ash didn't allow her to speak a word until she ate her whole breakfast. I laughed silently. I wanted to go to my room to complete the book.  But I owed her some answers plus I have all of eternity to complete that book even though I have already read it 44 times, still counting. No, I'm not trying to break a stupid record to enter the Guinness world records. I just find it interesting like I read it the first time yet I know which part is on which page.
         "You can come into my room when you are done." I say with a small smile. I was giving Chris sometime alone with her. I opened my shield a little to let him hear that specific thought which had to be known. You better use this time wisely, my friend.

     I ran to my room using my unusual speed. I had sometime to read before she could finish. When I reached my fifth page, there was a knock at the door. Damn, she is fast! "Come in!" I shout, knowing it had to be Kristy. I could hear her heartbeat and none of us knock to go to each others room. She comes in and sits on my bed while I put my book and glasses aside. She gives me confused look.
          "They help me concentrate." Knowing she meant what was a vampire doing with a pair of glasses. Her lips form an O. I smile. Ok so where do I begin?

ZAC'S STORY

     "At first, only witches existed. No other supernatural could exist. Seven of us. We were humans. Nothing extraordinary about us. Just normal humans. We were seven close friends. At that time, there were some mini wars going on. We were tired of it. It wasn't ending.
        So we found a way, where we get powers and become the most powerful people on Earth. So a few of my friends duped a very powerful witch who was my caretaker. And we got what we wanted. We promised that we would use our power only for the good.
          When the Elder witches found out what she had done, they were angry. So they took her powers and banished her generation from being a part of their clan. As for us, we had to be punished too. As our existance was upsetting nature's balance. So they tried taking away our powers and making us humans again. It took 14 of them to do the anti-spell. Somehow something went wrong making us these terrible monsters. As for our punishment, the existance of werewolves began, our natural enemies. Since then we were always known as the 7 original purebloods. The start of the vampire race."

     "So what are your powers?"She asks, so sucked into the story. I really fell like a grandfather telling his grand daughter bedtime stories. I bring an old black and white photograph out. Six of us were there, smiling. Katherine had died way before that.

    "Katherine had the power to cause pain, take powers away and sense things. Samantha has the power to know the past, present and the future. Technically she knows everything. Alec has the power of compulsion. Nathaniel has the power to control a person internally. Stephen has the power of controlling elements. Anna has the power of teleportation and telekinesis. And me, I have the power to protect, heal, illusion and copy any power I want." I say as I point at each person in the photograph. It had brought memories of happiness. True it was when we were all vampires. But atleast we had each other for support.

She must have noticed the sad smile on my face. Otherwise she wouldn't ask me "So any contact with them since you guys have seperated?"

        "Not really, Katherine died long ago. I'm not exactly in good terms with Alec and Nathaniel. Last I heard of Anna and Stefan, they were staked and hidden under the sea and Samantha has gone exploring the whole world. Which leaves me." I say, with a shrug. A tear was falling down. That was for Katherine. I missed her like crazy. She was my best friend and I lost her only because I wasn't there for her. Before I could wipe it, Kristy wipes it with her thumb.

        She changed the topic. "So technically what is the difference between an original pureblood and a normal vampire?" God, her curiousity is never ending. "We can turn people into vampires. They can't.  We can't get killed by fire or stakes. We have to be killed by a special dagger and we can only be staked by dipping the wooden stake in the mixture of vervain and garlic. This does not apply to other vampires-." "Wait!" She interrupted.  Now what?
            "What did you mean by daggers?" She looked like she knew something about it. "When we became vampire, 7 daggers were released during the spell. Only a particular one can kill their owner. The stone is usually our favourite colour. Katherine was killed that way." "I kinda figured that one out." She murmured.
          She goes out and comes. In her hands there is a dagger in an ancient sheath. I remove the dagger. It was exactly the one which was released during the anti spell. I could sense it that it wasn't a replica. I observe the stone. It was pitch black. This was Katherine's dagger. How did she have it? This words had come out loud.
           "I don't know. It's been in my family for a long time." She can't be a descendant of Katherine's.  She never had a child. Unless... "You are Rose's descendant." I whisper in shock. She gives give me a weird look. "Katherine's sister." I informed her. Rosemary died giving birth to a child. Katherine promised to take care of her.  So after all she did have Katherine's blood. No wonder I felt something when I first saw her. Like I have seen her before. I give back her ancestors prized possession.
        But she shook her head. "No, Zac. You need it more than I do. I can see she means alot to you." "After all she was my best friend." I murmur. Suddenly I hug Kristy. I don't know why but I just did. I felt so nice telling her everything. It felt so long since I ever thought about the past. "Thanks, Kristen." I whisper as I leave her. "Anytime!" She replies cheerfully as she exits my room. Yes, I needed some time alone.
