Chapter 26

"don't be scared, take my hand and let me show you around" he smiled, and Jupiter shook her head negatively, the man looked so handsome and young, but she knew he was older than she thought.
"who are you?" she asked curiously, and he gave her another enchanting smile.
"I shouldn't tell you everything. Figure out things by yourself, vampire queen" he bowed slightly, and Jupiter frowned.
She was surprised that he knew she was vampire and titled her as the queen even bowed at her. Her mind immediately went to Kenny who was a vampire and a claimed young man but was a hundred and thirty-six.
"how old are you?" she asked,
"A century and more, I guess a decade and some century" he laughed, "I stopped keeping dates and stopped counting when I was more than a century".
Jupiter could read the sincerity in his eyes, he was the oldest vampire alive and she could notice he moved round the little light that was visible. It meant he was a day walker and the only day walker apart from she and Kenny was her father.
"lord Logan Gretel Rodrigomez Jupiter said slowly almost in a whisper and he raised his borrows at her still smiling.
"she certainly got sharp brains" he teased, "I never thought you knew or heard about me".
"I didn't hear about you" she lied through her teeth "I read a lot of books about you,"
"they have a lot of books about me at wherever you came from?" he asked excitedly, and she nodded and at the same time she was shocked that he knew nothing about her or wherever she came from.
"well surprisingly, lord Logan is the villain in the play" she mocked.
"that's a fiction then, people are full of lies, they never would know the real story" he replied, defending himself.
"you are my father?" she questioned staring at him curiously
"isn't that obvious?" he smiled "the resemblance is unchangeable. So, do you mind if we take a father and daughter walk?"
"no!" she answered bluntly "what is a vampire king doing in the coven?".
"I noticed this place was abandoned by the witches and wizards, so I came to have a look if I could possible change it" he answered, and she could smell the lies.
"what do you think killed those people?" she inquired.
"I guess they fought and killed themselves" he said, and she could easily pick out all his lies, but she nodded with a weak smile.
"so how did you intend to change it?" she questioned and immediately he swipe his hands in the air and the place suddenly change, it was bright and colorful, she could see the images of children running around the coven, but she was invisible to them. She could see the teenagers at about her age, they were in the field as a witch master trained them to cast spells and make defensive weapons. She smiled as they joked with each other, then she could see some couples showing themselves affection. The trees had lights of different colors mounted on it and she realized that there were only witches and wizards around.
"so, what about your kinds, the vampires? Where is their place?" she inquired,
"since we are the ones rebranding their homes, we would be their leaders" he smiled proudly at himself and immediately moved the scenery to the royal palace. Right there on the throne was himself and the servants, her eyes quickly caught a maid and she blinked simultaneously, it was no other person but the witch queen, she turned towards him immediately.
"what about my mother?"
"oh, poor child" he kept a sad face "she died during child birth,
"what do you think I am?" she shouted angrily "a dumb senseless child you produced?"
"of course not!" he smiled weakly,
"where were you all my life?" she enquired, and he looked away "tell me you vampire king?"
He stared at her, without saying a word. He tried so hard to control himself and Jupiter could see his expression.
"now let me tell you, I know a lot. I know my mother, I see her in my dreams the same way you appeared to hunt me every night, she is the queen witch. And that first scenery you showed me was the normal image of the coven before you came in and changed it into your dark creepy home" she shouted angrily, and he finally got pissed as he immediately speeds close to her and lifted her into the air, but instead she laughed, and it surprised him.
"I'm not your scared baby no more, I am more than what you thought" she shouted and spin quickly out of his grip and created some fireball, they all surrounded her and she glared at him, waiting for an attack and then he speed at her, she could easily count his fast moves as she immediately sent the balls at him and he ducked each of them and was getting closer, she created a bigger ball, two times the first one and spin it continuously , waiting for him to get nearer and when he did, she threw the ball at him and It was too late, he tried to move but the speed of the ball controlled by Jupiter caught up with him and it hit him so hard, taking him off balance and he found himself on the floor and the beautiful scenery disappeared, taking them back to the creepy coven. He began to laugh, struggling up from the ground and spat out the dark blood.
"they have been training you well" he laughed, "soon you would be my greatest warrior."
"that would never happen. I choose who I work with" she answered.
He laughed again, coughing out more blood and she rejoiced inwardly at what she had done answered.
"time to go, but I'll meet you soon" he laughed louder as everywhere turned pitched black and when she opened her eyes, she found herself on the bed with Olivia and mercury standing above her and staring.
"I knew you'll be back soon, your usual nightmares" Olivia smiled and got up from the bed and Jupiter laughed.
"seems it wasn't' really a nightmare" mercury raised her brows "how did it go this time?"
"victorious" Jupiter answered and leaped off the bed,
"how victorious?" Olivia asked as the two girls waited for an explanation and she laughed,
"well with the fire ball, I could easily make him bleed and cough out blood" she winked, and the girls clapped happily.
"we must have been training you well" mercury grinned.
"what exactly would we do this weekend?" Jupiter frowned slightly,
"well, we would invite the boys over for fun" Olivia answered as she looked outside the window smiling,
"that's great and then we can all make lunch together" Jupiter jumped in excitement as she quickly put on a short.
when she noticed Olivia and Jupiter on a matching short.
"and what about me?" mercury asked frowning.
"what about you?" Olivia asked with a smile not looking away from the window,
"how would I reach out to Kenny?" she said sadly, and Jupiter frowned in realization, but Olivia's expression hadn't changed.
"what if I say that you don't need to reach out to him, it's totally irrelevant" Olivia rolled her eyes and mercury glared at her angrily,
"Olivia?" Jupiter raised her brows as she noticed they was something Olivia was hiding and not saying out,
"well, your knight in a shining armor is right outside" Olivia grinned, and their eyes widen,
"Kenny?" the sisters asked simultaneously, and Olivia nodded in response,
"you're playing pranks on me? You are lying right?" mercury asked, trying to calm herself,
"well, I wish I was" Olivia laughed "come see him for yourself,"
Jupiter and mercury ran towards the window and looked out, they both gasped at the realization as the young man was waving at them, mercury quickly waved back and moved away from the window,
"he is here; he is really here!" she exclaimed in great joy "he came for me,"
"who else would he come for if not you?" Jupiter laughed, and mercury looked down at herself,
"am I looking okay?" how is my dress? Is my hair scattered?" mercury asked in panic,
"actually, your hair is a mess because it's still morning" Olivia answered truthfully,
"but it is morning, he shouldn't expect to see you on a make up by 8:14am" Jupiter added "but if you'll like to know, your legs are sexy and attractive,"
"are they? Really?" mercury looked at her legs and the two girls nodded, and she smiled at them as she quickly picked up a comb and ran it through her hair.
"I should go bring him in" she said to the girls.
"why don't you relax, I'll let him in, while you take a mouth wash" Jupiter said,
"yes, that's right. You need to relax and be calm" Olivia said,and she nodded as Jupiter walked out and she ran to the bathroom.
Soon she was out, and she met Jupiter and Olivia in the room, her hair was brushed smoothly,
"is he in?" she asked curiously, and the girls glared at each other before laughing loudly,
"did you expect me to leave him outside?" Jupiter laughed, and mercury sent her an angry glare,
"you should go meet him, he's waiting" Olivia said with a smile, pushing her outside. "He is at the sitting room, don't be too nervous,"
"I'll call the boys over now" Jupiter shouted towards her and she nodded not looking back. The phone rang and at the second timeit was answered.
"hey, Adam" Jupiter called but then a different voice answered,and her excitement died down,
"it's Seth" the other person answered from the other side and Olivia quickly grabbed the phone happily
"do you mind coming over, this morning?" she went straight to the point, praying for a positive answer
"sorry to inform you late, but we left home already, and we are heading for your place" he answered, and the girls jumped in excitement.
"okay, we are waiting" Olivia replied and quickly hanged up and the two girls danced in happiness and hurriedly went to peep at mercury and her prince charming,
Mercury stood at the door entrance that revealed the sitting room, she could see his back from where she stood, and he hadn't noticed her presence, she bit her lips and moved a bit closer,
"Mr. Kenny?" she called almost in a whisper, but he heard her voice and quickly turned to her. She noticed his eyes widen and he stared at her speechlessly, they glared at each other not saying a word, she became scared, wondering if there was something wrong with her dress but then he stood up and began walking closer to her, she waited as he moved quietly and soon he was right before her,
"am I dirty?" she whispered as her eyes moved round his face as she bit her lips but then she heard his angelic laugher that sent shiver down her spine,
"of course not. You're so beautiful, I've never seen you without your uniform. You're not just beautiful, you are attractive, and you've got a hell of sexy legs" he smiled at her,
"really?" she grinned happily, and he nodded,
"yes mercury" he replied, planting a kiss on her cheeks but she drew him closer and possessively took his lips in hers,
Just then someone coughed loudly, and Jupiter and Olivia appeared, simultaneously the door was pushed opened, revealing the boys and mercury was shocked, she quickly hid her face on Kenny's shirt.
