Chapter 52: Chapter 52
Von POV
I opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was the white ceiling, I slowly sat on my bed and then looked around, where am I?
"You're awake." I turned to the speaker, Lit. I immediately smiled when I saw her from the door, she walked closer to me and then sat in front of me. "How was your sleep?" She asked, I smiled.
"It's fine, what are you doing here?" I asked so she frowned.
"What do you mean by what I'm doing here?" She asked so I was stunned, yes. What exactly do I mean by my question? Also, where did I get that question from?
She smiled and then held my left hand.
"I'm here because that's what we promised each other, right?" She asked while looking into my eyes. "We promised we'd be together when we got out of Vampire high." She said that made me smile.
"As long as we live together, Von, nothing can separate us." She added and kissed my hand.
I smiled while looking at Lit.
"Where are we anyway?" I asked, she came to me and kissed my lips, something that surprised me, her lips started to move and I responded. As our lips met, I felt something that I never felt before whenever our lips met. Something I think is wrong.
She broke away from kissing me and then smiled.
I just swallowed while looking at her, I could feel my chest pounding, pounding not because of excitement but because of fear, fear that I don't know why. I can't understand myself now, I feel that something is wrong, something is missing and something is not right. I don't know what's happening or where I am, why Lit is acting like this and why I feel this way about her.
"Let's eat." She said with a smile, I nodded and then followed her, going down the stairs I kept looking around, this place seems familiar to me but I can't remember where I last saw it.
I looked up in front of a shelf where there was a photograph standing there, a photograph of a woman with brown hair and eyes, pink lips, and smiling. I feel like I've seen this woman before but no matter how hard I try to remember her, I can't remember anything. Who is this girl in the picture?
"Von." I turned to Lit when I heard her calling me authoritatively, I saw her furrowed brows while looking at me.
"W-who is she?" I asked then pointed to the woman in the picture, her eyes fell on the picture, and hurriedly took it and then looked at me.
"My sibling." She said that made me frown.
"Didn't you tell me you don't have a brother?" I asked, making her stop, I saw how she swallowed because of what I said.
"Yes." She says. "What I mean by my sister is my sister on my mother's side, I don't recognize her as my sister but she is my sister on my mother's side." She said then looked away from me, I nodded and then smiled at her.
"You are always full of mystery," I said so she looked at me and then forced a smile.
"We have a problem." We both looked at the person who spoke from the door, Franco had just entered there and was stunned to see me, I immediately smiled when I saw him.
"How are you? Do you and Lit know each other?" I asked while looking at Franco, Franco looked at Lit then smiled at me and slowly nodded.
"Your bump has gotten stronger Von," Franco said, making me frown.
"What do you mean by the bump getting stronger?" I asked, he laughed and then crossed his arms while looking at me.
"Don't you remember? you slipped the other day in the pool we used to swim in Bermuda Triangle? Lit was very worried about you at that time because she thought you were going to drown." He said so I looked at Lit who was looking at me, she just smiled trying to look at me.
"Maybe you don't even remember that incident." He added then came closer to me, smiled then patted my shoulder.
"Get well, don't scare Lit again." He added then looked at Lit.
"Can we talk?" Franco asked Lit, Lit nodded and then walked ahead of Franco, Franco smiled at me before he followed Lit, I just watched them both walk away from me until they disappeared.
I took a deep breath and looked at the window near me.
I don't remember hitting my head because of the slip. Maybe Franco was right, maybe my head fell so hard that I lost some memories.
Lit POV
"How is Yezrah?" Cleopatra asked when I got out of Von's room, I smiled and then Close the door to Von's room.
"She's sleeping, she was looking for Von earlier, she was asking where Von was," I answered, and she smiled at me sadly.
"How about Clementine? Have you given them their medicine?" I asked, Cleopatra, nodded in response, and we started going down to the living room of Von's house, at the bottom Fin was there putting his son to sleep while his friends were sitting on the sofa in front of him.
"You mean your brother was left in Bermuda?" I heard one of his friends ask, Fin looked in our direction carrying his son. Fin's friends also turned to us.
"Von's not there." We looked at the person who spoke, one of Von's friends who helped us to get out of the abandoned place in Bermuda, he had just arrived and his face was tired because of the search for Von. I swallowed and turned in the other direction, I was worried for Von, especially when I saw how he drank the liquid in the small container that he took from Franco in exchange for his brothers' medicine.
I'm worried because I know Franco has Von in his hands, I'm worried about what Franco might do to Von.
"We looked for Von all over Bermuda but no Von was there, even in the building where we saw you there was no one." He said, I don't know him but I am very grateful because they came, they saved us from the hands of disaster.
"My other team is trying to find Von in the area of the sirens, while the others are already at the end of Bermuda arrived but no Von was there."
"Do you know any places that Franco will own, Lit?" I looked at Fin when he asked me.
I shook my head.
"During the whole year we've been together if it's not the house I showed you, we're only in the Bermuda Triangle, that's where he often takes me." My answer.
"We will have a hard time finding Von if we act alone, your brother Creed has a wide connection, Fin. It would be better if we ask for help from that brother of yours." Von's friend said.
"You're going to ask for help from my brother who is also sleeping? Well, that man is unconscious." Fin said.
"We have no choice but to wait for them to wake up," Cleopatra said then looked at me.
"How many days before they wake up?" She asked me, I took a deep breath.
"As far as I know, it's five to seven days before they wake up," I said so Cleopatra closed her eyes, and I heard Fin sigh.
"Are we going to wait that long?" Von's friend asked.
"We have no choice Xauz, if you know someone who has a lot of connections why don't you try asking for help?" Cleopatra asked.
"I'm only asking Creed for help." It said.
"How about Uncle Vaughn?" I asked, causing Fin to look at me.
"Why don't we try to ask your dad, Fin, for help?" I added frowning.
"Shall I send dad home?" he asked.
"We have no choice Fin, if we want to save your brother send your father home and we will ask for help from him." Said the man Cleopatra called Xauz.
"He's right Fin, I'm sure Tito has a lot of connections so we can speed up our search for Von," Cleopatra said, Fin took a deep breath and then signaled one of his friends to take his phone from his pocket, and his friend immediately followed.
"When papa is always here, there will be a war." Fin said as some of his friends laughed a little.
"We have no choice Fin." We said Cleopatra and Xauz at the same time, he rolled his eyes at us and then dialed his father's number, we heard it ring twice before the person on the other line answered it.
"Hello, Dad..."
