Chapter 10

CITY ~~ CALIFORNIA
She cried more when she thought of Thomas.
"Stop thinking about him Ava. He doesn't deserve your tears" He said and she sniffed before wrapping her hands on him.
He realized what he was doing and then he let go of her. She broke the hug and wiped her tears.
"Let's go somewhere else. You've cried too much today" He said and she smiled.
"Thanks"
He nodded and brought out his palm. The moment she held it, he sped them out of the place and out of the city.
They went deep into the forest and he stopped. Her eyes widened as she stared at the beautiful clean lake. The half moon was reflecting on the water.
"This is so cool" She muttered going to squat beside the lake. She touched the water and smiled, feeling the coldness.
"Can we swim?" She asked, looking at him...
"No"
"Too bad, I'm doing it" She said and stood.
She was about to remove her clothes but then she remembered something.
"Turn your back, would you?!" She snapped and he sped out of the forest.
"He better not leave me here" She muttered and took off her hoodie leaving her in a white cropped singlet.
She moved backwards before running forward and jumped into the lake. She smiled as she swam underneath the water before swimming back to the surface.
She heaved out a deep breath before pushing back her hair. She turned to the other side and met Lucian sitting on a chair.
A bag was beside him as he stared intently at Ava. She bit her lips before speaking.
"What is in that bag?" She asked.
"Some food and...." He didn't complete his statement when she jumped out of the lake rushing to the bag.
She was about to carry it when he took it standing up.
"Give that back!!" She said, jumping trying to take the bag but he sped to her back and she turned immediately.
"This bag contains food and other items for our use. You can't just gobble up everything in a second" He said and she scoffed.
"Fine" She groaned and sat down on the chair allowing the cool breeze to blow her skin.
He sat on the chair as well and crossed his legs looking at the water.
She turned on the chair several times, feeling uncomfortable.
"Urghh" She groaned and stood up pushing the chair backwards, she sat on the ground folding her legs.
"Much better" She said and he looked at her before shaking his head.
"Why do you despise us werewolves?" She asked, turning to face him.
"Your kind killed my brother for no absolute reason" He said and she gasped..
"We don't kill vampires without a reason. I'm sure you guys must have done something to the werewolf to make it kill your brother" She said and he turned to her, glaring hard at her.
"My brother did nothing to that werewolf, the werewolf just decided to end his life and I witnessed it. You should be lucky I didn't kill you yet" He said and she blinked.
"Meaning you still plan on killing me don't you?" She asked.
"Yes. Once you make the mistake of betraying me, I will end you Ava" He said his eyes turned red before it went back to normal.
She gulped before blinking.
"I will also kill you the moment your people attack my clan" She said and he looked back at her.
"We don't even know where you guys are hiding and we don't plan on knowing but once you trespass into our territory or attack us first, we will come for you" He said and she sighed before facing the water.
"Okay"
She looked at the water then at the half moon. She shifted her gaze to Lucian who's gaze never left the water.
She smiled and her tummy rumbled. She bit her lips before speaking.
"Now can we eat? I'm starving" She asked.
He looked at her before handing her the bag.
She opened the bag and brought out a bowl that had meat inside. She brought a bottle that had blood inside and she handed it to him.
"Take it" She said handing it to him but he just stared at her.
"Won't you take it?" She asked.
"It's for you I don't drink that"
"Is it animal blood?" She asked and he just stared at her.
"You have to taste it" She said standing up.
She came to him and tried opening his mouth but he refused to move.
"Please just taste it" She said pouting.
He stared at her before nudging her to move back which she did.
He took the bottle from her and opened the cap before staring at the content. He took a sip from it before scoffing and giving her the bottle.
"It isn't as sweet as human blood" He said and she sighed.
"Yunno you're quite stubborn right?"
"Then what are you?" He asked with an arched brow.
"I'm cute" She replied and smiled before going to the ground.
She started eating the meat.
"Why aren't you with your parents?"
"I was banished because of Thomas" She said chewing on the meat.
"You don't look sad when saying that" He said.
"Oh I am" She said and swallowed the meat.
"I feel sad for abandoning my family for a guy who literally almost killed me. I loved him but I guess he didn't love me as much as I loved him." She said,
"But then like you said, he doesn't deserve my tears so I won't cry because of him anymore" She added and took a bite from the meat.
"You're stupid yunno" He said and she turned her gaze to him.
"Heyy!!" She snapped throwing a rock at him but he dodged.
"Why would you say that?" She asked with a frown.
"And why would you fall in love with a human who literally despises our kind?" He asked instead and she froze.

"Why would you fall in love with the enemy?!!"

"Ava" Lucian called but he got no reply.
Her eyes were a bright shade of gold.
"Ava" He called and she snapped her head towards him.
