I am now in the park, scanning the book, turning the pages one by one. I am almost in the middle of the book when a cold wind hits my skin, it made me shiver. I didn't stop turning the pages until I've found what I am looking for. I studied the picture, it looks like a crystal ball but it had a small silhouette of a man inside it. It's weird and creepy. I slid my attention to the words below the picture.
Say the magic word and you'll see what you wanted to see.
My eyes turn into slit as I read the next line.
Do what it says:
1. Clear your mind with the unnecessary thought. Focus to your goal.
2. Touch the glass ball.
3. Say the words.
"Linux hindustan fetishes gurkha claes mesfy miura manusia"
(To be honest, I really don't know what those words mean...wahaha)
I utter the words slowly. When I am in the last part, I suddenly felt that I was floating in the air and faces of Jake are starting appearing in my mind.
"Jake, Jake" I whispered. It seems that he's so closed to me. He's in a room, sleeping.
"Jake!" I called again but he didn't wake up. I was about to call him again when suddenly darkness clouded up my vision and a pain erupted in my head. I closed my eyes and hold both sides of head. I've been in that position until the pain subsided. As I open my eyes, I was shocked that I'm not in the park anymore but I'm already in the room where Jake sleeps. I moved closer to him and observed his sleeping form. I am so glad that he's okay and well but I wonder what place is this. I haven't seen this place before. I am sure this is not his house or even his apartment. The room was being decorated and painted with an old style. The chairs, tables and paintings are the same in the old movies. My attention snapped to Jake when I heard him groaning. His eyes fluttered open. He stared at me in shocked.
"Flame, what are you doing here? How did you find me?" He whispered.
"I should be asking you that..Why are you here? Why you didn't came back in our house? I was worried about you... I thought that you were already kidnapped" I asked. Jake didn't answer. His face suddenly turned into panicked.
"Flame, you shouldn't be here. Please go now before they'll smell you" I stare at him, confused.
"What the hell are you talking about Jake"
"Flame! The man in the beach.., Hi-His my father.... and they wanted us to get married so that they can have access freely to your power. He is planning for revenge to the person who killed him. They will use you Flame." He paused and looked at me intently.
"They held me captured because I didn't agree with them..... you should go now Flame....before they can smell your scent..... please.." He begged.
I look at him, feeling so hopeless. He's face shows pure worry and anger.
"Come with me Jake..."I said while holding his arm.
"I can't...." He shakes his head and gets my hand off his arm.
"Please Flame.... You need to go now.... I can't forgive myself if something will happen to you because of me...Please..." He said while pushing me slowly.
It's hard to live him if he's this weak. I don't know what his father did to him that he's so scared of him.
"Okay I'll go for now... but I promised to return and save you..." I told him reassuringly. He gave me a smile but it didn't came up into his eyes. I hurriedly teleported myself towards our house. I need to check my parents and informed them about Jake's situation.
As I opened my eyes, I saw my parents on the couch, talking. A relief shown to their faces once they saw me. They immediately stood up and gave me a hug.
"Thanks God you're fine Flame! We're so worried when you didn't came home last night" My dad said.
My mom fell into silent. I look at her, curious of what she is thinking.
"Mom? Are you okay?" I asked.
She looks at me with tears in her eyes. Now, I became so much curious about what happened here while I was gone.
"W-why you didn't told us Flame? " She said, while holding her sobs.
"Why you kept this important matter a secret?" She continued.
"Mom, Dad! Will you please spill it out?" I snapped. I am losing all my patience now.
We're just wasting time here. Why can't they tell me what is it so that we can already talk about Jake. Jake's need to be saved and instead we should be forming a plan now, they're just talking about the sec-..
"You've found your mate" I suddenly stop thinking when I heard what my mom said. I just stare at my parents with wide eyes. How'd they know?
"If your mate didn't come here to look for you then maybe until now we still know nothing about it.." My dad said. I can tell that he's glad, he's face is showing it all.
I felt guilty of not telling them but they couldn't blame me, I was just protecting them against him. My mind went to Zire. Why was he looking for me anyway? He didn't even wait for me to go to him but instead he came here and decided to show himself to my parents.
"Flame, are you alright honey? Did you missed him already?" My mom said, teasingly. It's funny how her mood can change easily. I didn't reply and just decided to tell them about Jake.
"Mom!Dad! I found Jake" I said softly. Their eyes are wide in surprise.
"Where's he honey? Is he fine? Is he still angry? Why didn't he come home? " My mom asked.
"I don't know where he is exactly." I paused and exhale before I continue.
"All i know is that he needs help. He was locked in a room by his father because he didn't agree about his plan. They wanted us to get married because they will use me, my blood, for them to have revenge to the person who killed him" I explained.
"Flame.... you should stay out of this.. We'll be the one to help Jake.. Your mom and I will talk to him again." My dad answered in a dismissing tone.
I knit my brows and shook my head in disapproval.
"No Dad.... we all know that you don't have a fight with him and I'm sure he'll kill all the people who will get on his way. So please don't you ever try to think of talking or seeing him again. Dad, mom! Please promise it to me.. Please...." I begged. I don't know what to do if something will happen to them.
Dad didn't answer and walked away. Why can't he understand? I know he's guilty about what he have done but he can't do anything about it anymore. What's done is done.
I watched with tears the retreating form of my father. Why can't he trust me now? My mom hugged me while I sobbed on her shoulder.
"Mom... Please talk to Dad.." I pleaded. My mom didn't answer and just continued in patting my back.
I clinched my eyes when suddenly I felt a sting of pain in my head. This is my second time of feeling this pain. First when I was in the park and now is the second time.
I didn't noticed that my hold to my mom got more tight. I released her immediately when I noticed her gasping for air. Minutes passed, the pain in my head was now gone. My mom and I is now sitting on chair in the balcony just watching the dark sky.
"Flame, honey!" My mom whispered.
"We're so sorry that we gave you a life like this. We tried our best for you not to experience this kind of life, guess we failed." I turned my gaze to my mom. Her face is hopeless. I stood from my chair and hugged her.
"No mom! This is not your fault and dad. I may have a life like this but I don't have any regrets that you're my parents. I love you.... and I promised that everything will be back to normal..." I kissed my mom's forhead.
"You need rest mom. Just sleep for now" I utter those words while looking at my mom's eyes. Slowly, her eyes are closing. I'm glad that it's working. Using my vampire strength and speed, I carried my mom into their room and placed her on the bed. Dad isn't here yet, maybe he's in his study room. I kissed my mom's forhead again with a determination to end this bad things that happened as soon as possible.
