Chapter 127 - One Hundred And Twenty-seven : Cross My Heart

"Today is gonna be a good day " Ben sang aloud in the bathroom while the hot shower caused steam to form on the glass tiled wall.

Once he was done, he dried his body with his tower and walked into his room naked.The cold morning air flew through the opened window and hit him on the skin and on certain areas of the body that were deprived free air regularly.

"Fresh air, how refreshing " Ben moaned and closed his eyes, savouring the feeling. It was not everyday he gets the chance to observe this rite of airing his Membrum virile , so he had to take advantage of this moment.

Suddenly, he heard a soft thud and felt a sudden wind as something dropped into his room - no scratch that - not something but someone.

"Ahhh! " Ben screamed as soon as he opened his eyes and saw Dan standing right in front of him.

His hands immediately flew downwards and covered his below while screaming his lungs out.

Dan gazed at him wide-eyed. The reality of the situation slowly dawning on him as he swallowed and turned around abruptly.

"What the hell is wrong with you vampires?! what do you think a door was designed for?! " Ben screamed after wrapping a towel around his waist to hide his immodesty.

"I'm sorry for barging in unannounced and for any other distress I must have caused you " Dan the ever righteous vampire apologised with his back still turned to Ben.

Ben laughed, mirthlessly " Of course distress, psychological distress! I'll forever remember this "

Dan having sensed he have must covered his indecency, turned around to face him " Why would you remember it forever, you're just a human who would die in a few years to come "

Ben made a face at him "Why? are you showing off that you would live forever? "

"If you're that jealous, you're free to become one of us " Dan replied him straightforwardly.

Suddenly, Ben's eyes lit up like Christmas and he rushed Dan almost hugging him in the process " Wait, are you offering to turn me into one of you " he asked with a trace of excitement

"Oh go ahead, take me, take my blood, do whatever you guys do so that I can become immortal, have unimaginable powers, be a badass and.... " He gasped dramatically

"I can now perfectly protect my goddess Lia and have a spar with her " effused Ben and suddenly took Dan's hands while an aggrieved expression appeared on his face and he began,

"Do you know how shameful it is for a guy to be defeated by a girl. I can't beat my goddess in anything , speed, strength, powers, you name it! But once you're done, I can now stand on equal footing with her "

Dan rake a hand down his face and told him " Can you please make yourself decent, I don't have the time to play with you "

Ben glowered at him having realizing he was just fooled. He tore his gaze away just as Dan turned around again to give him some privacy.

" You can look now, I'm decent " He informed Dan the moment he was fully dressed.

Dan turned around with a straight face and said right away " I need your help "

Ben's mouth quirked, the almighty Dan needed his help? What a huge turn of event . He folded his arms across his chest " What do you want from me "

"I need you to run a little errand at Sabrina's before heading to school " Dan briefed Ben.

He then slipped his hand into his pocket and took out something and threw it at Ben who caught it with fluid motion.

His eyes widened " Isn't this my goddess necklace? " asked Ben who was examining the necklace that was currently disfigured with great care.

Ben looked up, care and concern written all over his face " What happened? Why do you have this and why is it in this state? "

"Raphael happened "

Ben gasped " What about - "

"Lia is fine, we got to her in time but the same can't be said for the necklace and she can't leave the house without it .

"Asher wants it repaired at Sabrina's but he's wondering if it can be given another outlook , wielded into something that can't be easily slipped without notice "

Ben pursed his lips " Perhaps a earring ? " he suggested.

"Yeah, a earring should do the magic. It's easy to wear about and can't be removed like the necklace without notice " He concurred with Ben's idea.

" Fine then " Ben agreed but asked " Why can't you do it ? "

Dan grimaced like someone reliving an embarrassing memory " I have an idiot to rescue but I'll drop you off before leaving "

"Cool " Ben said and rushed to fetch his pack back. His parents weren't around anyway so no one would notice he didn't leave through the entrance save the housekeepers - but who cares? it's not the first time - they would probably think he snuck out to God knows where as usual.

Though he has experienced it multiple times but it still awes him whenever Dan uses his ability. Close your eyes; you're here, open your eyes ; you're there - how amazing.

They arrived right in the middle of her sitting room just as Sabrina walked in

"Whenever you two are together, I'm guessing something has happened and you need me to clean up the mess " She said with hands akimbo and a slight frown.

To Ben's surprise, a smile curled up Dan's face.He approached Sabrina , pressed her against his body and kissed her sweetly while Ben went red in the face, when did these two become mushy with each other?

Finally after a few minutes of an intense kiss, they pulled away and Ben couldn't have been happier. Thankfully, Dan saved his breath by explaining everything to Sabrina before leaving.

"Follow me " Sabrina said to him and led him into a room he had never seen before since coming to Sabrina's place. The room was illuminated by red lights giving the place a romantic yet dangerous ambience.

There was a lot of thick covered books resting on shelves , wooden dolls, some animals parts floating or suspended in flask beakers and glass containers, carved masks, necklaces and a lot more others he couldn't describe.

"I heard about your idea - " Sabrina paused as her phone rang but she ended the call and continued " The earring should - "

The phone rang again.

She took a deep breath " I'm sorry but I have to take this call " Sabrina turned to leave but stopped as if something came to mind.

"And please, do not touch anything. I repeat , do not touch anything ! " She warned sternly.

"Fine, fine, I won't touch anything - cross my heart " He assured her when she gave him a doubting gaze

" Why don't any of you have a little faith in me" he murmured beneath his breath as sabrina left to answer her call .

No sooner had she left did Ben began a tour of the place " Wow, the place was like a personal museum. "

Suddenly his eyes rested on a porcelain Venetian mask " What a masterpiece ! " he exclaimed as he took in the beauty of the ornament.

Looking left and right cautiously, he went on tiptoes and unhooked the mask from where it was hung - it wouldn't hurt to take a closer look.

But no matter how much he admired this beauty, the urge to try it on overpowered him and without wasting time, he wore it.

Ben took a selfie " Oh, the mask looks so good on me " he moaned in pleasure and took another and another till he was satisfied.

Surmising Sabrina would be back soon, he tried to take off the mask and return it before she notice it, but he was surprised when the mask didn't budge one bit as if it was stuck on his face.

He tried again and again to no avail. He was about contemplating another approach when he felt a burning sensation on his face and began to scream. He put all his strength into taking it off but he couldn't, as the mask slowly meld into his face .
