My Vampire Twin

Chapter 39 - Reaching Out

(A/N: Hey guys! I won't be able to post the update due to some personal stuff so here's the update for Saturday)

Celina's POV 

Waking up the next morning after they all interrogated me and panicked on how the nightmare transferred into me wasn't actually easy. I had to keep my emotions in check and try my hardest not to snap. Mom said that the nightmare might have transferred but it doesn't have enough power to take over my body, if I let one outburst control me, it's all over.

I sighed and pulled the cover over my head while I try my hardest not to think about it too much. There are lots of things that confuses me at the moment but the weirdest thing is that I feel like myself but at the same time, I don't.

"That's because we are part of one another." The sinister voice rung in my head.

I crossed my eyebrows and tried my hardest to ignore her. One thing's for sure, arguing with myself wouldn't make anything easier for me.

"You know very well that one day, I will be able to come out." She said which made me scoff.

"Go ahead and try."  I said accidentally.

A loud knock made me gasp in surprise and made me jolt up from my bed. I breathed heavily while I clutched my chest, promising myself that I will murder who ever knocked on my door.

"Let me help you." She said once again.

I let out a groan and irritably pressed my hands on both sides of my face. I took a deep breath and sighed once more as the person knocked again. I swung my right leg that followed with the other on the edge of my bed and jumped down. I sighed and straightened my clothes and made sure that I was presentable enough when I kill whoever it is that's been knocking on my door.

Before I could take a step the person knocked continuously but rather he was banging on the door.

Irritated, I marched up to the door and swung it open, slamming it on the wall when it flung towards it.

And there, a horrified Cyrus stood.

His face was paler than usual and he kept his mouth hung open. He looked at me with shock and with the fear of dying.

I held my fist in front of his face while I gave him a full death glare. His eyes widened and with a few seconds later I could almost see his soul leave his body.

I cleared my throat and retrieved my fist from his face. I folded both arms with each other and raised an eyebrow. "So?" I started. "What do you want?" I asked bluntly which made him nervously laugh.

"I just came up to check on you." He said and cleared his throat. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He held it in for a few seconds and breathed it out. When he opened his eyes, the fear was gone. "You weren't supposed to react that way." He said and rested his right arm on the side of his hips. He eyed me before I turned nervous myself. "You need to control your emotions Celina." He said and sighed.

I nodded in defeat and pouted. He let out a breath. I looked down on the floor while I fidgeted and then felt his hand on the top of my head.

I looked up to him and saw him giving me the warmest smile. A smile slowly formed on my lips but before it was fully formed, his smile quickly turned into an angry frown. "Control it." He said in a deep tone.

"You're the one who needs to control yours!" I exclaimed while I continuously pounded on his chest while he laughed.

He wiped his tear away and sighed in content. "Go wash up. Angelica's making pancakes." He announced. My eyes shimmered and my mouth watered.

"Pa-Pa-Pa-Pancakes?" I asked while a drool made its way out of my mouth.

He laughed and took out his handkerchief. He wiped my drool away with a smile. "Yes, and if you don't hurry, you'll get the least."

I took a deep breath and nodded. But remembered what happened to Angelica and him.

Angelica was pretty upset when she and Cyrus got into a fight. Uncle Aiden and Aunt Casey said that they didn't catch her when she walked out on them so they didn't know where she went and had bigger problems to handle. Angelica is a kind and gentle person, but I know that the stress can sometimes get to her head which can make her grumpy, I know from experience.

I frowned when I remembered the times when I would snap at Shawn whenever I get exhausted from training.

My chest tightened and a shade or dark blue filled my vision for a mere second.

I stumbled back but Cyrus immediately caught me. After a few seconds I regained my vision and saw how worried Cyrus was while he held me.

I held the top of my head with my right hand and sighed.

I looked at Cyrus and saw that he was still worried but scared to ask me what's wrong. I suppose that he's scared of what I might answer.

I rolled my eyes at him. "See what you can do when you wake someone from their peaceful sleep?" I huffed and crossed both of my arms over my chest. "You even had me get the door while still half asleep." I said which made him sigh in relief.

"Still half asleep..." He breathed and shook his head while he had his hand pressing on his temple. He took a deep breath and sighed. "I can get Angelica to save you some pancakes, go back to bed." He said but I shook my head in disagreement.

I clung to his arm and pouted. "A shower can wake me up but I might get there late so..." I said which made him smile.

He shuffled the top of my head and smiled. "I'll give you 30 minutes."

I smiled and let go of his arm. I skipped back into my room and pushed the door closed. "Don't eat mine!" I demanded before closing it. He gave me an amused laugh as an answer.

As soon as I locked the door I pressed my forehead against it with my eyes widened.

"You should have listened to him you know." The nightmare said.

I sighed and cupped my face with both of my hands. I breathed in and out and tried to clear my mind. But the more I tried, I more I think about it. Mom said that I should control my emotions, but how can someone stop what their feeling?

I let my hands hung from my body while the top of my head was pressed against the door. I kept looking at the floor as an attempt to numb my mind.

As soon as I was contented, I lifted both of my hand and pressed it against the door, pushing myself away from it, I fell down. I closed my eyes and waited for the pain to strike me, but I felt nothing. I opened my eyes and saw that I was already on the floor, sitting. I looked around to see if anything could have broken my fall but all the pillows were on my bed and nothing was close to me that I might have landed on. But even if something could've broken my fall then I should at least feel something if I landed on that certain something.

I pushed myself up from the floor and stumbled to get to the bathroom. I rummaged through the drawer and searched for a razor blade.

With shaking hands, I took out a blade and positioned it on my upper arm. I closed my eyes and slashed my arm. I felt my flesh being cut and shivered at the noise that it made.

I opened my eyes and saw the blade covered in blood. I threw the blade on the sink and let the water running to rinse it off.

I breathed deeply and closed my eyes. I opened my eyes and slowly turned my head towards my arm. When my arm was in my sight, my eyes widened. My arm was covered in blood but what made me panic even more was the pain that I failed to feel.

I took a cloth out and soaked it with water. I pressed it where I the cut was and slowly wiped the blood off. With the first stroke, the blood was wiped and the wound wasn't there.

I breathed heavily. I soaked it again and cleaned the remaining blood that covered my arm.

"What's happening to me?" I breathed as I ran my fingers through my hair.

I threw the blood soaked fabric on the sink and pressed my hand on the end of it, pressing most of my weight with it. I looked at the blood that has been rinsed off of the fabric with the running water and tried to process everything that's been happening to me.

And then it hit me.

My breathing hitched. I closed my eyes again and hoped that I was wrong.

I slowly lifted my head. When I knew that I was facing the mirror, I slowly opened my eyes.

"No..." I breathed as I gazed into my turquoise eyes.

I voice inside my head laughed. "I'll get what I want."

My knees weakened that made me fell on the floor. I wrapped myself with my arms and started to rock my body back and forth until a loud thud came from outside. My vision started to blur out and the shade of dark blue started to take over.

I was almost engulfed by the darkness until I felt strong arms held both of my shoulders. The strong arms shook me and held me in it.

I stared into the darkness where I saw myself again. She closed her eyes and when she opened it, it turned into the color or turquoise. She smiled as her hair slowly turned dark blue that flowed endlessly.

She reached out her hand while she slowly inched towards me. I looked at her as she floated nearer.

I reached my hand out to her.
