Queen Of 2 Worlds

C H A P T E R - 1 6

Marietta P.O.V

The rays of the sun were gleaming the green leaves of the trees. The sweet chirping of birds was echoing around me while I was sitting frozen in a bewildered state, staring at nothing particular.

I blinked when I realized that I did not blink for a while. Letting a deep breath out, I stoop up and started to walk towards the exit of this jungle.

I stopped when I was at the exit. Mansion was in front of me. I stared at the white marble, shining in the sun's rays. I was not feeling anything, nothing at all. I was just confused as I sighed and again started to took small steps towards it.

It was a really dark night but the sun had shined. That was the hope which the sun always gave us. It didn't matter how dark the night was, its rays would always lighten up the darkest places in the world. It tells people, not to worry, there would always be light after the dark. The light that could fill every dark corner of Earth, Brain, Soul, and Heart.

And... I had to find that light or maybe I am that light.

"Where were you?" Mom asked as soon as I entered my room. She was sitting on the bed, looking at me. As she stood up and walked towards me. She looked like she had not slept last night. Her eyes had eye bags and her face looked tired.

"I......um......I ....." I trembled, not knowing what to say.

"You what?" She glared at me angrily.

Could I tell her that last night a person more like a Vampire had tried to kill me? Then someone saved me after that I fell unconscious and woke up with the rays of the sun. Would she believe me?

"Marie?" She snapped her fingers in front of my eyes. I looked at her face which was showing concern and worry. I gulped.

"If I tell you...you will never believe me so, don't ask." I said and strode towards the washroom.

I breathe in relief when I heard the sound of the door closing, indicating Mom had left. I looked at myself in the mirror. My neck had red marks of fingers and it was hurting a bit. A cold chill of fear run down my spine and an unknown feeling appeared in my stomach. I quivered.

The face of that vampire appeared in front of my eyes. That was not a dream, not even a nightmare. I really saw a vampire and that was an acidulous truth, which was unpleasant to acknowledge. But who was he? Where did he come from? Why did he want to kill me?

'Why all this happening to me?'

I looked at myself again, nothing was different. I looked as same as other girls but still, there was something unusual. It was a gut feeling which often happened to be true. I sighed and shook away all my thoughts.

I took a shower to relax. Shifting in a bathrobe, I walked inside the closet to find something to wear which could hide my neck. But badly almost some dresses were off-shoulder, some boat-neck, A-line, V-line...... Damn it!

After looking for more than ten minutes, at last, I found a black pair of pants with a black high-neck shirt. I picked a black blazer that had some golden pattern of flowers, running down in the border on the front button area of the blazer. I changed into it and made my way downstairs.

Mom was sitting on the couch with a magazine in her hand. I trudged towards her and she spoke without looking at me. "Good afternoon!"

Oh! So she was mad at me.

"Mom, I'm sorry." I said with a sweet smile. She put the magazine aside and walked towards the kitchen before saying, "Come eat something first." I followed her.
