BLOOD LEGACIES
Chapter 132: Half-witch

Chapter 132: Half-witch

I sat on a couch close to the window, watching nature in its night view. My knees up to my chest as I sighed heavily, I was once again lost in my thoughts, lost in everything that unfolded before me today, the shocking truth and reality, how was I gonna accept something like this when all my life I always thought myself to be a fragile tiny girl.

I huffed at my thoughts, I’m still a fragile tiny girl, being a half-witch doesn’t change that. I rubbed my arms but then I felt a blanket cover me, I jumped slightly because I heard no one coming.

"What are you thinking?" at Dace’s voice I relaxed knowing it was him. He took a seat watching me and I did the same too, it was impossible to take my eyes off his hazels, they were always so stunning to get myself lost in.

"Vanessa agreed to keep it a secret until we find the vampire"

"I heard," I said in a faint voice nodding my head.

"But that’s not what you’re thinking, is it, baby?"

I sighed.

"I-I have always lived my life as an invisible girl..." I began feeling a dread feeling consume me. "I never hated or liked it, I just always thought I had to do... was go through school and be with my mom, making memories, that was my only joy" I smiled at the memory of my time in Washington, although not the best I still appreciated it, being with my mom set everything right. "I thought that was it for me, I never thought of anything else not until I set foot in Juneau" I bit my lip.

"You regret coming here?"

I drift my gaze to me, his full concentration on me. "Aside from the vampires"

He snickered at my words and I smiled.

"I don’t regret it, but I can’t deny the fact that my life changed here, I don’t know... this place gives me comfort and fear at the same time, not the vibes someone would want"

"You know" he began leaning toward me. "Juneau is like a magical place, because of the supernaturals that resident here, it has an... energy to it"

"Maybe I’m pulled by that energy because after what I just figured out I still don’t wanna leave this place, I don’t wanna leave you"

A smile curled up his lips. "Who said I will let you go?" he raised an eyebrow and I smiled.

"Here," he gave me my phone.

"My phone," I said with a sigh. "I thought I lost it"

"You should turn it on, your mom must have tried it"

He was right! I quickly did that and then the number of notifications I never thought my phone could wield flooded in. And funny because it was mostly from Owen, calls, and messages.

I leisurely drift my gaze to Dace thinking I would get a reaction from him but nothing. My phone rang, it was my mom.

"Mom"

"Hey sweetie... sorry I haven’t called for a while, I tried your line the first time but it was switched off, you okay?"

"Y-Yeah I’m fine, it was just turned off for a moment"

"Okay... so tell me" she began sounding excited. "How was prom? And who did you go with, oh please tell me you had a wonderful time"

I shivered before rubbing the bandage around my neck. "Um... i-it was great"

"Oh really?"

"It was hard to adjust but I got a hang of it"

"Oh, honey, that’s great! So tell me who did you go with, tell me... is it that Devereaux?"

"I-I’ll call you back mom, studying"

"Studying? You’re still far from the next term or are you doing lessons?"

"Yeah... Yeah! Lessons, bye mom"

"Wai-"

I ended the call before she could finish, I will have to think of something to tell her, what could I tell her exactly....well something far from the truth. On my birthday, which was prom day, I almost died at the hands of a vampire. I exhaled sharply and flinched when I felt Dace’s hand snake my waist pulling me to him.

"My mom..." I began. "She’s not part of all this" I sobbed, why do I feel the need to cry? "Vanessa said she never wanted me to be part of this world, I guess it’s too late now" I played with his shirt circling something on it. Trying so hard to fight back the tears.

I sobbed, raising my gaze to his wonderful hazels, he had his full concentration on me.

"Does it bother you? That I’m a half-witch?" I asked and there was silence for seconds but not until he leaned further to me, our faces inches apart.

"Being human never bothered me, why should this?"

I sighed in relief as my heart fluttered, he narrowed his eyes on me.

"Emma" he began in a serious tone. "I want to show you something"

"W-What"

He leaned backward and the curiosity plagued me further. I inhaled sharply when he took his shirt off in a swift motion, I blushed hard when I locked my eyes on his ripped body. Fuck I was getting hotter than ever, is this want he wanted to show me? I licked my lips.

"Tell me, Emma, do you see any mark on me?"

"Mark?" how could a mark grace his flawless skin? I only feasted every inch of his chest and not even one touched it. Like I said, flawless... I wanted to both lick and run my hands on it but I quickly shook my head when I remembered his question.

"There’s no mark on you, Dace," I said breathlessly, making sure I set my point right.

"Hmm" he only made a sound.

"What is it?" I asked because it felt like something was bugging him.

He forced a smile, shaking his head.

"A-Are you sure?" because I wasn’t quite convinced.

It took a minute but he answered me "Yeah"

I was about to speak but he was fast.

"Wanna watch a movie?"

Now he was changing the topic.
