The Half Heir

15

   I am lost. There comes a moment in life where you can literally feel yourself detaching from everything. You dont feel anything. You just know you are detaching from everything around you and you are floating away. At this movement, i wish i could float away more than anything. Like what the fuck is happening?!?!?! Why cant i go a day without having life altering revelations. Life sure does have a sense of humour.

  Everything is so twisted and complicated. And its all connected and held together. The more the secrets are revealed, the more everything messes up. And i am in the middle of everything. Amazing isnt it. Dont get me wrong, i did want something more out of life, i wanted adventure and i wanted to an amazing story which would never get boring. I dont know how i should feel now when i have got what i wanted it.

    I cover my face with my hands and take deep breathes. I dont know if i should cry or laugh. I am actually kinda worried that if such truths keep being revealed, i might lose my sanity. And i would not be happy if that happened but well this is a little too much to keep up with. I mean Lucia, the cold hearted bitch who is actually strong, smart and kinda nice has finally found her soulmate and it is none other than my own half-brother Charles who is a half-vampire and literally the son of her worst enemy.

   Talk about a tragic love story. I mean this is just sad but it also kinda makes sense. Charles is the charming and comforting person who is sweet and Lucia is smart, calculating, manipulative and fierce. They would make a really interesting pair. They both have felt unwanted, they have lost their mothers and their fathers have tortured them for years. They do have things in common. I sigh and look up at Charles. He is patiently waiting for me to speak.

   "Are you sure its Lucia?" I ask him, whispering even though no one can hear me. Charles nods, smiling.

   "How?" I ask him, still processing.

   "I had felt her a few decades ago when Father and i had been looking for new Half-bloods. Suddenly, we were being attacked. Father ordered all the Half-bloods to fight and he started running, thats when i felt her. It was like nothing i had ever felt before. I felt happy and i felt at peace. I felt a weight lifting off my chest. I moved towards her but before i could, Father caught me and he could control my mind to a certain degree. He could make me do a few simple things. And so he made me run. He made me run away from her. That was the first time in my life that i hated Father. The moment i left her, i felt like tearing my own heart out. The pain was beyond all the tortures i have endured but it wasnt all bad. I felt hope. I know that she was somewhere out there and i could find her. I knew that when i will find her, i would have found everything i could have ever dreamt off. From that day, i had only two goals in life, i wanted to find her and then a few decades later, i wanted to find you. I want to thank my stars that i was able to find your both." He tells me.

   When he was talking about Lucia, he looked so happy. His eyes would soften and he would speak about her with so much affection. It was kinda sweet. But also kinda strange. I mean they just met. Yet i am pretty sure these two would do anything for eachother. Lucia must be so happy. I knew how much she wanted to be meet her mate. I will talk to her about it later. I look back up at Charles. I want to know how they met eachother.

   "What happened when you found her?" I asked him.

   "I had been following her from 2 weeks. She hunted and killed dozens of Half-bloods and i followed her trail. I didnt find you by follwing the Hunters. I followed Lucia. She was so invested in getting back here, that she didnt sense my presence when i kept my distance from her. I was staying in a nearby town till yesterday night. I kept an eye on everything that was happening in the palace.

  "I thought when she would leave, i would confront her but when she didnt, i couldnt wait any longer. It tormented me to stay away from her. So i sneaked into the palace. She found me within moments. When i looked at her for the first time, i was looking at my world and nothing else mattered. We embraced eachother, losing all sense. That was our mistake.
