Chapter 100 - Pieces of puzzle- Part 3 (Missing b/w 49 & 50) (1/2)
Eve's POV:
I felt slight pain in my head when I woke up and sluggish. I opened my eyes to be greeted by a dark room. There was a small round window letting a small amount of light inside where I was sitting. My hands were tied by chains that were connected to the wall. What was I even doing here? I started recollecting the events. I remember playing Frisbee with everyone. Later Louis and I went to the last stall to get ch.i.p.s and cool drinks for all of us, that's when I felt a throbbing pain on my head as though someone hit me with a bat.
I caught some movement in the room and felt a little wary about it. Hehe but a little happy, I had company and was not alone in the room.
”Eve, you okay?” It was Louis and I could not see him well due to the darkness.
”Yeah, but my head hurts like crazy. What about you?” I asked him and heard him groan a little.
”I think they injected something and by the feel of it, its onyx,” he said dryly, ”Onyx is a potion that's created by witches and is a dangerous weapon against us vampires and werewolves. A small amount of it is enough to paralyze the supernatural abilities, including the immortality,” he explained.
”So your not a vampire now?” I asked shocked with the information.
”I am but due to the dosage in my body,” he replied. I heard him yanking the chain and curse something under his breath.
”Do you know who's behind this?” I asked him softly checking the binds on my hand, it was done tightly.
”No but we'll find out soon. You can speak loudly here, the room is soundproofed. I think everyone might have already noticed that we are missing. Before the potion could take affect I pulled the trigger to alert,” he said making me furrow my brows.
”Trigger?”
”Both Lizzy and I were gifted with a necklace and a ring each. It has a trigger alarm that lets the other know if any of us are in danger,” he explained and I left a sigh of relief. That's a good thing.
”You're Ariana, an ex-council,” Louis spoke. I turned to seem him and gasped looking at an ugly bruise formed on his cheekbone.
”Louis Wolfric,” Ariana sang his name and was in front of him in a second holding his neck, ”I don't like being called that, so I would ask you to refrain from using that term, yes?” she asked before letting go of his neck and he coughed.
”Why are you doing this? You stepped out of the council by your own free will,” Louis said his eyes strained on her. She laughed bitterly. Why would someone like her try doing this?
”Revenge perhaps. People just don't know that what goes around comes around again,” she said reminding me of Justin Timberlake's song, ”Your brothers made sure to corner me so that I would quit it and had no way to come back. They don't know what it means to lose something you like and now the time has finally come to show them,” she turned to look at me and smirked.
I was scared now at what she was going to do. Louis being non-vampire was not helpful, who knows if Ruka and the others even tracked where we were. Louis spoke after few minutes.
”You told her blood was sweet as he told. Whom are you working with?” he asked with narrowed eyes. She just smiled at it. The door opened once but this time to be greeted by two men and one, which I was familiar with.
”Hello Eve, it's good to see you again,” the person said standing in the entrance with his blonde hair and ear piercing with a creepy smile.
”You?!” Louis told. My mind had gone blank now. It was Trent.
”Yes it's me,” Trent smirked and came to stand next to Arianna, ”I guess you have met my sister. Eve, I missed you,” he told facing me and I cringed at it. I definitely did not miss him. I decided to ignore whatever he said trying to tune him out but something about him was very different. I felt the aura of darkness near him filled with negative energy.
”What do you want?” Louis asked with a cold glare directed towards Trent.
”That's for me to know and you to guess,” Trent told walking towards where I was and sitting in front of me, ”But I'm tired with this cat and dog games so let me come to the point. You see one of your brothers broke my sister's heart cruelly,” he said and I felt my heart sink a little. Did Ruka do something to her?
”It's not Ruka,” he said tilting his head, ”It's the other one. Arianna did what he said and he betrayed her in the end,” he said and held my face in his hand tightly that I couldn't move.
”Keep your hands off her,” Louis growled angrily trying to untie the restrains on his hand but Trent just laughed at it.
”You are being deeply sedated by the onyx; it's no use with the binds. I was shocked to hear first when one of my men informed about the possibility of our king having a mate. My fascination for you increased day by day. I wanted to have you. I did not expect your mate to come join the school, it was an unexpected thing. You were just a useless human in the beginning but who knew you were the king's mate. A sweet young human and the blood that ran through your veins were tempting but your blood smelt different. We thought it might be so as you were mated to the king but that isn't it, it didn't take us much time to figure it out,” he said smirking and I looked at him confused. What was he getting at?
”Every time there would be someone or the other to interrupt but it didn't stop me. I wanted you and my sister needed revenge, everything just fits in perfectly,” he said his hands playing with my loosened hair.
”How did you get hold of the onyx potion? No witch can willingly do it for a human,” Louis said and I saw Trent get up.
”Louis Louis,” Trent chanted his name, ”We first asked one of the pure breed family witch to do it but that didn't go well. Truth to be told we never needed one. I had jinxed Megan; she was stupid and annoying trying to spoil my plan which she obviously didn't know. It got enough time for one of my men to collect data from Eve.”
All along Megan and Trent worked together. Or was it after sometime? But that didn't explain from where he got the potion unless he had one of them working for him.
”You have a witch,” I blurted out.
”I am a witch, sweetheart,” he smirked and Arianna just laughed at it, ”Shocked?” Yes, I was shocked or confused you could say. Wasn't he a vampire that too of low rank? This was crazy.
”It's impossible,” Louis, declared, ”You are a low life vampire.”
”Trent is a hybrid,” Arianna replied to our questions, ”He's a born hybrid of vampire and witch. With his witch powers one can hide or manipulate his nature.” Trent looked at me and raised his hand. I felt a sudden rush of pain flood through my body and screamed loudly with the pain becoming unbearable.
”Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!” I continued to scream.
”Stop it!” Louis growled and at it both the siblings only laughed.
”I want to try something and see if it's going to work,” Trent said continuing with his torture. I heard the door open and someone speak but I could not hear it properly as I experienced pain. After few seconds, I felt the pain come down, ”You remember Kallum, don't you Eve? He was the one who got us samples of you. He looks like a vampire but he isn't.” I lifted my head to see Kallum standing at the door with a bored look.
