Chapter 14 - Parsi Leaf

Parsi Leaf

Dimitro

Father continues with the story, then I interrupted him again saying, " Who was the vampire that killed him?"

" That was the same answer have been searching for but I never found it", he said.

"I had to call all the vampires for an urgent meeting for them to be aware of what was going on, I even asked about the killing but they all claim to be innocent. What if those that went missing has been beaten by a vampire to become one but I have no evidence to prove" He added.

" Then her sister got beaten" One of the maids came to inform him of something which I have no idea about then he said, " Am sorry son, I need to stop the story here, I have some urgent things to attend to now but still know this, we are not allowed in the human world okay".

" Okay father, will see you when you get back".

I had to leave his room and decided to take a walk, what Gustavo said earlier made me feel guilty, " I couldn't help the one I claimed to love".

I never knew while I was lost in thoughts I have walked very far but I didn't cross the boundary to the other side, then I saw a door reflecting, " What door is this? "

Then I had a rethink, father has explained how the door to the human world was but since they can't access it anymore, it was locked by a witch which means it can never reflect or open, " I thought it was supposed to be there without reflecting, this can't be, should I inform Primus that it's reflecting or not?" I started contemplating about it.

" No, he doesn't need to know, maybe am just seeing things, will come to check it again tomorrow, this should be my little secret", I concluded on what to do and left the spot.

Lorenzo

I waited for father to go out with other elders as well then I meet up with Santiago, " I need to visit the place my mother was locked up and I hoped Santiago agrees to help me as well", I said to myself.

" Lorenzo hope no problem, you sent for me and you said it's urgent as well, I had to rush down here", he asked in a worried tone.

" Yes it's urgent but there isn't a problem Santiago okay, I need your help on something very important to me", I said to him.

" What could that be Lorenzo, am your best friend so I must surely help you no matter what".

" At least let me tell you what you are going to be helping with before promising to help but I already took your word just hope you don't go back on your word", I stopped a little and took in some air and said.

"I want to pay a visit to Luna, my mother"

The exclamation on his face shows fear, " No way, why would you think such a thing, do you wish to kill me, please ask for something else and not that please" he pleaded.

" Come on Santiago, don't tell me no, you won't die I promise you that just promise you to help me okay and I will tell you the plans I have". I said trying to make him change his mind.

" But Lorenzo, you know the rules, we are not allowed to go there let alone speak with her, once we are caught, your father can forgive you and he won't forgive me, he will think I lure you to break his rules, you know how your father thinks". He said not ready to help.

" I don't know why you fear, are you not brave hum, I have a strategy for us to follow, with that, we will never be caught, and I promise I won't spend more than thirty minutes talking to her, I just need answers to something very urgent".

" Well if I may ask, what's your plan for us not to be caught?", he asked the question I wish to hear from him, meaning he might agree to help me.

" Firstly we need the Parsi leaf"

"Hold on a minute, you mean the leaf that can make a lycan fall asleep for some hours, you mean we are going to the forbidden zone to get that leaf, what if we made a mistake and sniff it, we might be the one falling asleep, this is a suicide mission, am not going," He said.

After many convincing words I used, he agreed to go with me, we left for the forbidden zone and tried our best to avoid being seen by anyone, we are breaking two rules today, I fear we might be caught but I just have to take the risk of doing it but I know for sure if we follow the plans we will never be caught.

We got to the place where the Parsi leaves were planted and I said to him, "Santiago be very careful not to sniff around this zone, they always try to look beautiful like flowers for us to sniff it but you know what will happen ", I reminded him and he nodded.

" Are you ready", I asked him.

"Yes I am friend, but count this as my last help for you, after the whole thing is done", he said then I smiled.

" I know you don't mean that, now since you are ready let's go in, two minutes we are done getting it".

We walked into the place the leaf was, I won't lie it's beautiful as a flower and tempting as well, I almost sniff it to get the scent of it but I remembered this particular leaf with its trick so I tried holding myself not to.

I finally got as much I needed same with my friend," We finally got it, going out is another temptation, hope you know that", he didn't let me finish my statement when he answered.

" Of cause I do, it becomes very attractive and irresistible but we just need to hold back from sniffing".

" Good then let's go, I know we can do it", I said with a smile.

"I hate this particular leaf, their temptation is worst than a bitch with her body but I know if I can resist some bitches I can resist this as well", I encourage myself just to come out of the spot without sniffing.

We finally came out and I was excited," Here you go", Santiago said handling over the ones he got.

"Something is not right, his eyes are dimming, hope he didn't sniff while leaving," I said in my thought.

I heard sound only to see him fall on the ground and slept off.

" Damn it you fool, I told you not to sniff it and you couldn't resist such a small task, Santiago", I yelled at him, I kept trying to wake him up but I couldn't.

" This place is no longer safe, I need to take him out of here right now".
