Chapter 3 Unknown Weight Over Thighs
Zoravec dawdled towards home without any hesitation or fear of getting caught by Pike or his men once again. Because the way he had taught them a lesson was unbelievably an outburst of strange yet hidden prowess. Zoravec liked the sensation regarding how he felt for those brief moments, it left a deep impression on him regarding the decision of getting stronger.
The vampires were the ruling species and the only powerful kind who had the tendency to rule over the others. That made the vampires the utmost superior being who had nothing to lose to weak humans. It permitted the vampires to get the hold of whole earth where the areas were clouded by the humans heavily.
Now that Zoravec felt the utmost power flow within himself, it left him wondering whether he had awakened some strength or what. He was aware about the demonic voice in is head which had provoked him since childhood. It was due to Devi' instructions and provocation that Zoravec attempted some revenge tricks.
Since his powers were not awakened and Zoravec was a frail child to be able to avenge himself. But his reactions upon Devi' provocations elated the demoness and assured her that Zoravec held a lot of potential. But the question was, why the demoness was watching over him!
"I don't know what that was but it felt so great. Something inside me was sure that I could fight Pike this time. That strength was incredible, hehe."
He walked towards the junction which was near to his home, just a few more minutes and Zoravec was about to reach his destination. Numerous thoughts haunted him about everything he did that day. Zoravec could not think of any possible thing which could probably awaken his powers.
During the whole way he was unable to comprehend what happened back there and how he felt the immense strength within him. However he was just elated about beating Pike's ass and turning his lackeys black and blue. For a few moments of satisfaction with all the prowess he displayed earlier, Zoravec completely neglected the consequences of laying a hand on Pike.
His sole focus was on the actions and the power he experienced, Zoravec was deep down scared and unaware of his mixed blood. But he did not want to question or to know about it, acknowledging that it would simply put his existence in the realm in danger. Since the humans were on a peace treaty with the vampires, it was still impossible to eradicate the hatred between both races.
Nobody was aware of the cause of the near apocalyptic situation which perhaps was something valid, ancient and big at that time which was completely lost now. However the humans did not try to overthrow the vampires due to the huge strength gap. Neither the vampires troubled them anymore or to overcome each other instead signed a peace treaty.
Although the condition was put as the chains to keep the humans under their claws. If a human fails to find his/her mate then the individual has to serve the vampires as the living blood bag. Because the person would have no other purpose to serve which in turn would permit the vampiric authorities to 'use' him.
The vampiric reign prevented any trespassing without permit, Zoravec's father visited the realm long ago as a merchant. Somehow he was enthralled by his mother and fell in love, but due to the strict laws and inflexible circumstances the duo was pulled apart.
Zoravec's father was still unaware of the existence of his son and could not visit again due to the ban. The whole thing left an everlasting impression on her willpower and mental health. She was a loving and warm woman, as a mother Hecate cared a lot for Zoravec but behind closed doors she was a broken soul with endless crying.
Hence it was a proud moment for Zoravec that he could potentially tell something to his mother to ease her worries. Hecate had been a great influence in his life regarding emotional development. Zoravec was not a weak kid or a cry baby, whenever he became the victim of bullying he just kept silent to get over with it sooner.
"I can't wait to tell mom about this, she will be so happy to hear that I beat my bullies today."
His face beamed with joy upon entering the lane, which was a decent residency area. There were houses on both sides and the area was peaceful. Zoravec danced a bit on his toes and hurriedly towards the front lawn of his house.
"Mom, I'm back!"
He chirped happily while unlocking the door with a key, as soon as Zoravec went inside he headed straight towards the lounge. The whole house was decently decorated and it gave a homely vibe and warmth. Zoravec dropped his bag on the carpeted floor and sprinted towards Hecate who was sitting on the sofa.
"Mom, I'm so sorry it took me a while to get back home. I swear I didn't want to worry you, please forgive me."
Zoravec leaned over the woman from behind while wrapping his both arms around her shoulders. Hecate reached for his hands and tapped over them as she giggled and turned her face to see her son.
"You little devil, you finally remembered the way back home, huh."
Hecate, the old woman appeared to be in her late forties which justified her wrinkles around the eyes. Her black hair had a few grey strands of emerging old age but the sparkle of her eyes was still the same. Hecate reached for Zoravec's arm and pulled it forcing the kid to walk in front of her.
"Owh, owh, mom. Leave my ear please, you should be happy that I'm back home today without any bruises."
Zoravec pouted, faking anger as he held Hecate' hand to plead dramatically. However the gorgeous woman widened her eyes in shock upon realising that Zoravec was actually unscathed.
He had rarely returned home without bruises or any injuries because Pike and his gang always waited in the midst of the route to pick on him. Hecate hurriedly inspected his arms and sighed deeply with relief, the woman tucked her back with the sofa immediately.
She filed a complaint about Pike and his friends to the principal of the college. But no action was taken because Pike had an influential family, moreover the whole city knew that nobody was aware of who Zoravec's father was. The particular thought earned a bad name for him and Hecate, but the strong willed woman bore everything with a strong heart.
"You...what happened today? Tell me in detail."
Hecate wanted to know how Zoravec was able to sneak away from Pike, it had only happened before when the bully was on holiday. However Zoravec did not want his mother to get worried about the sudden awakening of powers and definitely not about the death of Lyra.
Zoravec plopped into the sofa and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, and swayed a little when he generated the quick lie to ensure that Hecate wouldn't know anything.
"Oh mom, let's say it was my lucky day today. I don't know....I can't explain that strength in words. But everything felt impulsive, it was like an inner confirmation that."
Zoravec simply stated the incident into a summed up statement, he was excitedly telling everything.
"Now you don't have to worry about me mum, I can fight back with them. Your son won't be bullied anymore. Heh!"
There was some strange kind of confidence in his voice which did not go unnoticed by Hecate.
She caressed his cheek and tapped it, there was utter relief over her face. Although deep down the old woman was concerned about something, more like an underlying suspicion.
"Good child. Now hurry up and change clothes, I will set the table for you."
She stood up and headed towards the kitchen, which was on the left side of the lounge. Zoravec shook his head and reached for his bag then walked out of the lounge to the staircase.
'I have to act normal not to raise any suspicion.'
Zoravec mumbled to himself and ascended the staircase when he reached his room on the first floor. He opened the door and hung his bag on the hook near the dressing table. Zoravec walked towards the window and pulled the curtains, then threw himself on the bed and closed his eyes.
[Hello, dear Zoravec.]
Upon hearing that feminine demonic voice again Zoravec snapped and opened his eyes.
"Who is this? I said come out, come out if you are courageous enough to fight me!"
He yelled and sat on the bed with his legs dangling, but before he could move any further something landed over his thighs.
"What the fuck!?"
Zoravec cursed upon feeling immense weight over his thighs and winced in pain. When he opened his eyes to see what hit him, the sight scared the shit out of him and Zoravec could not help but yell in fright.
"Shush, I wouldn't suggest yelling."
Devi immediately covered his mouth before he could make any noise. Whereas Zoravec couldn't help but stare at the strangely mysterious woman sitting on his thighs.
