The Triple Hybrid

Chapter 7 - The Turbulent Dinner

        The week went well. I spent a lot of time talking about the dates of my friends. Principally with Meridith. She was charmed. Everything in her meeting had been wonderful and perfect. But she knew that Don isn’t ‘suited’ for her. In my opinion, she loved Liam, so she couldn’t fall for someone else.

        Jim and Niamith, as she said, their meeting had been very good, but nothing would grow from there.

        Klaus had missed the whole week to classes, and I never called him, was too dedicated to decipher the Big Grimoire along with my mother. And I was taking additional classes with her about spells and black magic, something that was forbidden to me.

        I had no time to call even for messaging.

        The spirits were also quiet, I saw them sometimes but if I was not in the mood, they didn’t even looked at me.

                                                                                        ***

        Another week had passed and he had not appeared at school. But this time I called him numerous times a day and I sent lots of messages. He didn’t reply.

        The dreams had returned. This time even more scary… More real. But at that moment I could see some faces. Liam. Meridith. Lilith. Niamith. Klaus. My mother. And I, lying on the ground, writhing in pain and screaming, I was surrounded by lots of people, but those I didn’t see the face. The fire was surrounding me.

        I picked up the phone and dialed, for the tenth time that day, the number of Klaus.

        "Leave a message after the beep", I heard.

        "Klaus, call me please. We agreed that I would call you in order to schedule our dinner. I’m waiting your call. Kisses."

        I was beginning to get worried. I haven’t seen him for two weeks. He gave no sign of life. Nothing. I just hoped everything was okay. That was ridiculous, I was worried about a vampire with more than 2000 years…

I didn’t call him again that week or the next one. It was almost the month of October.

        The Biology teacher had already been replaced, and the placard school, was a photograph of Lind reported missing... So I stood beside it and I putted my hand on top of it. I dodged me the soonest I could.

        I couldn’t cry anymore, I had to pass that stage.

        I joined my friends and football players.

        “So what do you do around here?” I asked sitting down to Liam's lap and I kissed him on the cheek.

     “No big deal… We were just asking ourselves what happened to the deaf teacher. She evaporated.”

        “It's almost that.” Lilith said.

        Me and her sisters looked at her. She stopped.

        My phone started ringing. "Klaus" the screen was saying.

        “I’ll be back in a minute.” I said and ran out of the cafeteria.

        “Hey!"

        "Hello Caroline."

        "Can you please tell me why did you take three weeks to repay my call? I was worried. "
