Black Blood

Chapter 10 : The new information

There was still one hour left for school. School started at 7 AM. Should I go to school? Would it be a waste of time? But then what about Arora? She must be worried for me and who knows I might even find some answers.
After coming up with a decision I opened my wooden closet, picket out denim jeans and a hoody, as it was getting cold outside. Then I left for school. The rain had stopped but I took an umbrella, in case it decides to start again.
The wet pathway reminded me of good times.
Last year on Arora's birthday. Jay and I had arranged a big party which was in open at jay's house. But then it started raining and no one showed up. Which wasn't such a bad impression for us as we started dancing all over the rain.
Remembering Arora's beautiful face, her hair dancing with the rhytm of rain drops. She looked stunning.
Not sure who had started it, but instead of eating the cake we all had ended fighting with it.

With a sigh I park my car.

Only if those days weren't over so soon.
*********

My first class was of geography, where Jay who had also been wearing a black hoodie, annoyed the shit out me.
And now we both were on detention. Which was not so cool for me. I had to get to the library.
"Pssh. Listen." I whispered to Jay.
"What man? Enjoying the detention aren't you?" He smirked and lifted his eyebrows.
"I have to get to the library, cover up for me. Would you?" Not giving him any time to speak I rushed towards the library.
The library was a dark blue themed. The same colour were of walls and the carpets. Only the furniture was of wood.
The first section was of English books where the novels I wanted had never existed.
Dissimilarly, Today I was in search of the history section. My feet moved as I eyed all the sections until the desired one was found.
I started searching for the book in that section.
My hands moving on all the books while my eyes read their title.
History of the Western world
World war One.
World war two.
The tale of modern times.
History of Europe.
History of Indo-pak wars.
History of mankind.
"Ugh I'm never going to find anything here." I muttered to myself instead got answered by someone else.
"What are you looking for?" Wait I knew this voice. I turned to identify the voice, which was of Arora.
"Hey Arora. You here?" She was not a library going person. For her the textbooks were enough to deal with.
"I found Jay in the hallway, he told me you were here." She was standing at a careful distance from me but her Jasmine perfume could still be felt. For a moment my mind stopped all the thoughts and only she was there.
Even wearing simple sweater and jeans. She could manage to look attractive.
"Oh yeah. I needed to know about my blood relatives." I took out a chair for her to sit.
"And you thought you could find all that here? In a freaking school library??" She put emphasis on the words "freaking" and "school".
Then I came to know about the stupidity of my actions. How could I expect a school library to have such important information?
"You're right Arora. But I don't have any access to the town library."
It was right. The library allowed only qualified people to access the complete sections. Otherwise there were only a limited amount of books for us.
"Umm... I can help. Lets go after school." She could help?? But how?
"And how do you plan to do that?" I raise an eyebrow out of confusion.
"Trust me I have my ways. Plus I should be going now." I was so in Love with this girl.

*******

We were now at the town Library.
"Arora this is insane. How are we going to get in?" She was being crazy. Taking my hand she pushed me in and went on the reception desk.
"Hi Mrs. Amelia."
"Hey Arora. How are you dear?" Wait. She knew her??
"I'm fine. And this is my friend Lewis. We just wanted to get some books for father."
Then she showed her Mr.Wilsons membership card and we were in.
"How did that happen?"
"My father funds the library evey year, and he always sends me to get books for him."
She was right I did know about it but I never really paid attention to this matter.
but Wow. That was clever of her.
"Well that explains. Thank you Arora."
"Stop thanking and start searching we don't have much time."
The history section was large but after a while I found the desired title.

It was a brief history book.. I opened it. The title page had ten chapters.
"Page sixty four the history of the foe families and the Montegrals."
Just what I needed.
I went to page sixty four.
"Prior to their downfall The Montergrals and Lockhurts were the two ruling classes of Profenyork. The montegrals owned all the Avionics bussiness. They made vehicles too. All the equipment was then used by the government officals and army. The government had inturn given them the power over Iroland and Profenyork. Whereas lochurts were the second ruling class. They ran the sugar bussiness, profenork was a sugar landmark. All the neighboruing countries imported suger from there. Surprisingly their rule was shortlived due to the disease that completely destroyed the two families. The origin of blackblood was never known however there were..."
The next page had the title of the next chapter. I turned the pages to find the rest history but there was nothing. Not a single word. There was page number sixty five but it started with a whole new chapter. It looked like the information had been cut short. The book was completely normal unless one studied the very chapter I was on. I needed answers but without trusting anyone. I didn't even know who was on my side. The montegrals had been a ruling class. Yet we had never studied about them in school. How was that so? This was getting more and more complicated.
