Love Bitten 4

Chapter 16 - Magical Paper

// Feeling a tiny bit better than a few days ago. Only a tiny bit though so I will be taking another break. Sorry. Sorry to my friend, Snow for being an ass-hole to you. 

I couldn't get back to sleep after what happened last night. I just stared at the ceiling with my eyes wide open like I have seen a ghost. Well, I saw an angel. Not really a ghost but hey, they were real and so were demons, apparently. I sat up before I got off the bed and started to get dressed until Hope walked into the room and walked in front of me, holding the invitation which...wasn't in pieces anymore. 

"This is more serious than I thought. This is magical paper or some weird shit! I don't want to put you in danger again!" she told me, her voice slightly high pitched with fear. "Have you ever seen anything like that before?" I asked her, slipping on a light pink jumper before I placed my hand out, wanting to have a closer look at this invitation. Hope took a heavy deep breath as she handed over the invitation.

"No! I haven't! Supernatural beings didn't exist back then! Unless...unless they were but I didn't fully realise it..." she whispered the last sentence to herself. I watched her sit down on the edge of the bed, her eyes were glowing a light red. "D...do you want me to read it out to you?" I asked her, walking over to her at the same time.

"Your choice, baby girl." she replied, her voice getting rather shaky which worried my soul. I sat down next to her before she immediately wrapped her arm around my waist, bringing me closer to her. I didn't want to make her feel worse, so I decided to read it to myself. My gut keeps on saying burn it and so was my beating heart. My brain was telling me to brave it and read it. 

I raised the invitation up before I took a small deep breath in, breathing back out again. "You don't have to read it, love. Give it back to me and we shall burn it together..." Hope began to tell me softly before I already began reading, my eyes travelling over the piece of paper...

"Dear my old friends and new ones, 

I would love to invite you all to my mansion so we can all get to know each other again. My... lovely volunteers have started to prepare a feast because the coming together party is tonight. It will start at midnight and end at sun rise. 

See you all then. 

Morca x." 

Suddenly, Hope snatched the invitation from my hands as soon as she saw the name of the person who sent it. "No wonder why I forgotten her bloody name!" she said out loud to herself once again. I looked at her, completely blank on what was going on. Her head then turned to look at me slowly with fear and shock in her eyes. 

"What?" I asked, "What is it?"

"Morca was the child who caught me and my mother out. She had an eye patch...I didn't know what gender she was because she didn't even look human. Her skin was very pale, almost like mine...I was so dumb at that age..." she began to explain to me before I pressed my lips against hers, stopping her from saying anymore crap.

She kissed me back softly, before I pulled away. "Don't ever say that about yourself. Please. This isn't the time to feel guilty."

"I know...but..."

"No buts, babe. Listen to me, the party has already been as it was last night. It might be a hoax, anyway." I finished assuring her before she let out small deep sigh as her eyes landed on mine. 

"I don't deserve you. You are just too pure for me and that is a good thing." she said to me before her fangs exposed themselves as she moved my hair away from my neck. 

"Can I drink from you, please?" she asked me for my permission before I nodded. She then leaned forward as her fangs slid into my neck.
