Chapter 36: Party Night (Caught up in Flames)
Chapter 36: Party night (caught up in flames)
Nicholas’s POV
“At first, I didn’t want to, but as it stayed longer on my mind, I started to believe them, and the fact that he doesn’t want me around Ava, the guards didn’t let me go see her, it all makes perfect sense.” Nil answered. I was stunned, I didn’t know how to reply for a minute
“But you will agree with me, that not all the things we see or hear, are true?” I started slowly.
“Yeah” He answered, shrugging.
“Look, I’m not trying to change your opinion, or lie to you to save him, but what I’ll tell you is this, He didn’t kill his mother, yeah he killed is brother, but not because, he hates him or want power, the power was always his whether he wanted it or not, he just had to do it, if he hadn’t, we would have been in lot of trouble, and the world would have been left at his mercy, and about Ava’s safety, you needn’t worry about her”
“Though, he has misunderstood her intentions in times past, he loves and cares for her, and the main reason I’m going with you guys tonight, and the reason you’re here with me, is because He doesn’t trust you around Ava, and in fact he he thinks you’re fraud”
“He thinks, all this is a set up, and I’m supposed to dull your senses with that injection right there, in the car safe, right now, clip off some of your hair, and send them in for testing, to see if you’re really Ava’s brother.”
“I shouldn’t be telling you this, but I really believe you’re not a fraud, His guts rarely ever make mistakes, and His guts and mine are always almost right and in the same place, but this time……” I exhale
“This time my gut, tells me you’re really Ava’s brother, and I hope and pray that this time, mine is right and his is Wrong, and if his is right and Mine is wrong, I’ll wring your neck myself, even before he gets to you himself.” I said pulling into the Club’s large park, Cars filled everywhere. Just perfect. Nil sat still in his seat, I figure, he’s thinking about all I said.
“And I hope, you won’t tell Ava or anyone this things, let him do it himself, at his own Convenient time.”
“That means, he really cares about My sister, and don’t worry your gut’s in the right place, please will you tell me everything that happened, why was he forced to kill his brother?” He asked, curiosity filling his eyes.
“The story’s not for me to tell, and not now anyways, you can ask him, he might tell you,….. himself” I replied him.
“You didn’t use his name all this while?”
He asked me, the boy is damn vigilant.
“His real name’s Logan, and I just don’t like saying the other name.”
I shrugged, like it doesn’t matter, and it doesn’t, not to me.
*********
We got out, just as Connor and Ava disembarked, I stared at Nil, he looked at Connor with so much respect. Good, I’m glad my words, got along.
“I’ll take your hair later, for now enjoy the night.” I told him before the couple got to us, he nodded swiftly.
“This place is woah, Nicholas, it’s just perfect” Ava said, her hand around Connor’s Waist.
“Thank You” I smiled.
“Well then let’s go in” Connor said, already moving forward with Ava.
Nil laughed, softly,Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
‘Some one’s green with jealousy.’ I sent Connor, through our link.
‘Shut up fool’ He sent back.
I laughed out loud.
They preceded us inside the club, the music was loud and heavy, it was pouring out of every conner, many people were there, the decoration and setting is just……. perfect, it’s Classy, and woah. I looked around as we mingled with the people, vampires and humans, were there, dancing to the music, I glanced around, but what I saw made me stop, what the heck, just at that moment her eyes met mine.
“You!” Though, I couldn’t hear her, I saw her mouth form the word, what’s Elora doing here?.
Ava’s POV
The club, is really, really exciting, I danced a little with Nil, then with Connor, Nil went away from us, and mingled with the others, he seems to be enjoying himself,
but Nicholas stayed at the bar, drowning shot after shot, he kept glancing at a golden haired woman, who I later recognized as the nurse that came to the palace, he kept looking at her, and I feel his sulking has to do with her.
“Just a minute, I’ll be back” I said as I released my self from Connor’s arms.
“Where…..” He started to say, but I had already left his side, and I couldn’t hear him due to the noise.
“Hey” I said as I sat on the chair beside Nicholas, he looked at me with red eyes.
“Hey” He said and went back to drinking.
“You know, I’m not even supposed to talk to you after what happened and how you hindered me from getting to Connor” That earned a smile from him. A pretty one.
“But?” He asked, studying his glass cup, and staring at the alcohol in it.
“But, you’re still my husband’s cousin so I’m obliged to help you out with your problems” I replied
“And?” He asked, abandoning his glass and studying me instead.
How does he know, I want to say something else?.
“I think of you as a friend” I said finally, he smiled at me sweetly.
“So?” He asked, what’s his problem?, I’m trying to help here.
“You’ve been staring at that nurse for a while now, you’ve been drinking, and you’re not enjoying the party.” I said furiously.
“Oh don’t worry, I’m good and this drink won’t affect me, this humans alcohols doesn’t affect vampires and I’m not going to drink our alcohol, just one shot will undo me and……..”
“I’m not really concerned about the alcohol, you fool, what’s it with you and the lady?” I asked impatiently, he just goes on and on about Alcohols.
“She’s my mate” He dropped.
“Ohhh, are you finding trouble in making her yours?” I asked, masking my surprise.
He looked at me startled, I raised a brow
“Are you?” I asked
“Yeah, I mean…. She’s so stubborn, I didn’t even know she’ll be here tonight, and she has been glaring at me and…..”
“Hmmmnnn, do you want my advise?” I asked
“Uhmm….”
“Never mind, I’ll give it to you freely, and you can thank me later” I said, smiling broadly, I decided to give him, Mia’s idea.
“Ohhh, OK” He said, uncertain.
“If she doesn’t want to talk to you and if she doesn’t want to accept you, why don’t you seduce her?”
