My knees trembling as I landed in front of Lucas’ house. It gives me a panic attack from the moment I touch the ground, a size of electricity running to my nerves. I didn’t know why? What is this kind of feeling? My body temperature gets higher and my heart pounding that I could hear my chest beating so loud. Is it just an excitement? A happy feeling? For a long time, I will see Lucas.
His eyes that captivates me every time I look at him. His annoying attitude and body gesture that I missed a lot. I just smiles at myself as admitted to myself that I longing to that jerk.
I wrap my arms around my body and glances around the place.
“We are here.” Mia stated. She notices I feel uneasy. She feels what I feel. She can read my mind at once. No wonder that she is my other half, my guardian.
“Yes.” I nodded and straightforward to the entrance gate,
“Are you nervous?”
Mia asked me a silly question. I just smiled at her and never say a word. I know she knows I am. If there is one thing I hated her about being my guardian that because I can’t hide what I feel.
“Stop asking me I am nervous. You know I am.”
“I want to make sure you're okay.”
“I am fine.”
A high frequency of music vibrating to the whole surrounding as I entered to the place of Lucas. The chattering of people passes through my hearing, even the cluttering of glasses grating to my ears. It’s like an earsplitting that rumbles to my senses.
I covered my ears to avoid the beeping loud that gives wail to my hearing. It’s like something new to me, not an ordinary happening. Does my power becomes stronger? Or it may be because the power of being a vampire emerges in me?
I keep on walking, heading to the place where the sound of loud noise rasps to the thin air. My eyes widened in surprised when I saw the crowd that greets my sight. They were Lucas’ friends and I feel like I couldn’t grasp the entire atmosphere to interfere. I shook my head and looks back at Mia. She looks at the crowd just like I did.
“Is this what you want to show me?” I asked her with annoyance at my voice.
“No. Of course not. I didn’t know that he’s partying with his friends.”
I just nodded and came to the window so I could watch him. Suddenly my heart jumps because of overjoy when I saw him close to me.
My face gets warmth and I could feel that it’s red like a tomato. I feel like a jerk grinning as I watch him.
Their world stopped as their eyes met each other. It seemed like everything around them had disappeared.
“Thana?” Lucas whispered.
Lucas couldn’t believe he could see Thana just staring at him. After the final exam, he never saw Thana again.
His heart pounding and he has a strange sense of feeling. He stepped closer to where she was. A smile curve to his lips when he sees Thana's attractive eyes that looks into his eyes. Her expressive bright eyes that makes him dancing.
Thana ran away when she saw Lucas. She didn’t want to ruin his life. She didn’t want to feel she wanted Lucas. She didn’t want to feel that she loved it. She was afraid to face Lucas and admit how she felt about him.
Thana ran away until she lost sight of Lucas. He leaves the crowd and follows Thana outside. He immediately went to the place where he had seen Thana. But, no matter he looks on it, he could never trace her.
“Thana!!! I know you are here… Show yourself to me.”
He shouted out loud that gives attention to the crowd. Everyone came to find out what was happening with him.
Thana hides behind the trees and observes the happening. She breathes as she listens to the crowd. Lucas’ voice gives her rattle when she feels that he is closer to the place where she hides.
“Lucas! What are you doing?”
Her heartbeat so fast when she heard the familiar voice. She couldn’t make wrong that the voice was Victoria. She peeked to look at and make sure that she was not wrong. Her sweat drops from her forehead down to her cheeks.
“Leave me alone Victoria,”
“No.” Victoria added.
He just frowned and continue hailing Thana’s name.
“You’re strange Thana is not here.”
“I said leave me alone.”
“I tell it earlier… No.”
She gives an eye to Lucas and turns her body closer to him. She caresses his face and kisses Lucas to his lips.
“You are tired. Come with me.”
He held Lucas’ hand and walked back inside the house It seems he’s a bare child that obeys Victoria’s command.
Thana keeps eyeing with them and thinking why Lucas acts unfamiliar to her eyes. He is not the Lucas that she knows. Why, suddenly he becomes kind. Is he under the spell? What is happening to Lucas? The questions are on her mind.
She took off her feet off the drudgery and cross back to their home. She floated in the air with her agility. No doubt that she gained a lot from Atenowa, from magic tricks and spells to flying. She dances as she crosses above the gloomy skies and her tears brush through the fogs.
She couldn’t keep the tears from trickling through her face. Is it because she sees Lucas that she is breaking down? Maybe because it upset her to think about Lucas with Victoria?
She landed in the forest and look for her Raven.
“Smokey.” Thana called her Raven.
Just a few moments later, Smokey flew to her. She stretches her arms and lets him touch her arms.
“There you are Smokey.”
Smokey waggle his wings and makes a sound of a howling Raven. He looks at Thana’s eye and flew around the forest.
“Tell me what Raven.”
His blazing eyes just stared into Thana’s eyes to show what e was seeing. It was like a lightening entered Thanas’ mind. She almost ended up breathing when Smokey gets outside in her soul. Fears wrapping around her body as she sees the tragic that will come to Lucas. She must stop the evil darkness that comes after Lucas.
