Her Soul and His Blood novel Chapter 20

The image blurred she saw someone approaching her giving a vicious laugh echoing all around her, then everything was dark to Zella.

Zella opened her eyes and she saw someone sitting beneath her. She looked around for Zad but couldn't find him anywhere. she felt as if whole world was about to crumble. She dropped down on her knees and screamed with all her might. She sobbed and tears flooded like the waters rushing down from a waterfall and the only time she'd stop was to fill her lungs with fresh air.

She held her necklace and asked to reveal the vampire phase but her powers are drained out. Its not working and she is not able to see their real face.

" who are you? Are you Lance or Hance ?"

" don't worry Zella I'm Lance. Are you alright ?"

"Yes I am. Where is my brother? I saw him bleeding. Is he alright?"

He turned his face away.

"Look at me Lance. Please dont tell me that he is hurt. Did you save him ?"

"I'm sorry Zella. I had only one choice , either you or Zad. I couldn't think anything more. I saved you. I'm sorry."

Zella bursted out with tears. " So you left my brother to die. You left him with that devil."

She cried and cried. Lance tried to comfort her. But how can he, when it is her brothers life in danger.

" Zella listen, you are tired now. You need to take some rest. You are going to kill yourself by crying?"

" I don't care whether im tired or not. I wanted to save my brother. Where did they took him ? Who was that guy who slapped me? Why didn't you save him Lance?"

She got up from her place. Wiped out the tears and stared at Lance which has a lot of meaning in it.

" im going..." Zella said this with anger.

"Where?"

" to save my brother."

" no, I wont allow you to go. Give me that Red stone, I will bring your brother by killing my brother."

Zella stepped two steps backward. She hold her necklace tight and closed her eyes. Some kind of shield is produced around her. Her eyes were sparkling.

" No Hance. Don't even think of taking red stone from me."

" Hance... what is wrong with you Zella?"

" Don't play with me Hance. My Lance will never ever kill his blood. And he won't even say such things." she raised her hand and a kind of power strikes him. He is thrown away to the wall.

His face  frowned  with pain. He struggle to stand on his leg. His face turned red and do his eyes too. It became fury red. He stood up and with a vicious smile he stepped forward.

"Leave me, don't you dare to touch me."

The man tightened the grip. It was hurting her.

She tried to produce a shield but she was not able to produce it because she was exhausted.

"God, why can't I use my power to help me. I don't know how to use this new power of mine. Is that because I'm tired. Some one please help me." she prayed.

She tried hard to escape. He dragged her through the floor. She struggled in his hand and tried her best to escape. Those giant hand was tight enough to not let her escape. He pulled her through the door and dragged her. She tried to let her go but she failed. He is strong and Zella is weak. He must be a vampire she told to herself.

He took her to a huge room. In that dark room there were shapes in monochrome, of course the daylight could bring brilliant fuchsia or deepest scarlet, but for now it could be a scene from a black and white movie.

There was a man sitting in the centre of the room. A muscle twitched involuntarily at the corner of his right eye, his mouth formed a rigid grimace. With arms folded tightly across his broad chest he tapped his foot furiously and all the while stared out of the grimy window.He was waiting for Zella.

"Welcome Zella." He said it out of tune.

He looked serious and strong. His fangs were out. His clothing was formal. He looked like a man of aged around his 50's.

Zella was expecting Hance but she found some one new. Some one who looks more serious and terrific. Whose eyes were golden.

"Where am I ? And who is this person ? How does he know me?" A fear struck on her, her hands were shivering.
