Chapter 131 - One Hundred And Thirty-one : My King
Her body was on fire, she couldn't concentrate, she couldn't think straight. What was going on ? Lia felt like she was stuck inside a mountain volcano and kept writhing on the bed oblivious to the pairs of eyes staring at her .
" Why are we here master? " Trevor asked Ben now Lawrence , staring at the girl with an intense concentration.
"I don't know either " Lawrence answered Trevor but he knew inwardly that was completely a lie.
Initially after his soul gained awareness, all he had in mind was finding his body and dumping this host whenever he was done with it , but he was alarmingly shocked to discover this second body fitted his needs perfectly.
His powers were returning speedily , not to mention this was a young and strong body plus the icing on the cake - a handsome face at that .
After removing the seal and regaining his full powers tonight , he would escape this town and go on an eccentric voyage, living his life to the fullest while leaving a trail of troubles in his wake - he bet it would keep his pursuers busy.
He would live forever in this body but then there was a little problem, the boy's consciousness was active and constantly fighting against him for control ; Ben was struggling to take back his body.
Lawrence knew the boy's emotions had influenced him into returning here a second time as if he was longing to see someone and he bet it was this girl.
But it was interesting though, why did these girl have such a level of darkness inside her? Others might not see it but as a manipulator of darkness and death, he could see through everyone.
Initially he had been angry for returning here, it was not part of his plan but it seems he must have stumbled upon a gem. His lips curled into a sinister smirk, it wouldn't hurt to have her by his side.
"What's happening to her? " Trevor asked curiously again, watching her squirm uneasily on her bed .
For some strange reasons, he couldn't help but feel pity for the poor girl who looked oddly familiar. But the more he tried to remember, the more the memories faded into the distance and he was left with a splitting headache.
" Don't try hard, the more you try to reach it the more it goes away " Lawrence told him having sensed what he was trying to do.
"But to answer your question " he said and dropped to his knees beside the bed , stroking the girl's tender cheek " It's just a mere trick vampires use to fool the humans . "
' My Goddess Lia ' Lawrence sensed the boy say inwardly as he fought to reclaim his body but he was the stronger one here and suppressed him in no time.
" My Goddess? " Lawrence's brow raised and his smile broadened , perhaps she was worth being his goddess.
Suddenly he leaned towards her and pressed his lips against his, infusing her with some of his regained energy. They were the same make anyway so his energy wouldn't affect her adversely.
The energy coursing through lia caused her eyes to snap open at once , but her eyes throughout were pitch black for a moment before it switched to its usual magenta.
Now awake, Lia was dumbfounded, what was going on? why was Ben kissing her? was he wishing for a death sentence?
She stared at the face pressed against hers, still lavishing her lips causing her cheeks to flush.
But this was totally wrong!
She placed her hands on his chest and pushed him to the ground finally creating some distance between them.
Lia sprang to her feet and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand " What the hell is wrong with you Ben?! " She yelled as he rose to his feet.
But he smiled instead.
A thunderclap went off in her head, did he just smile? Did he think she was kidding? She would kill this idiot today.
Lia grabbed the front of his chest "I'll ask Sabrina to heal up your face later "
With a hand holding his shirt, she curled up her fist and moved her hand back to throw him a punch when he said,
"I was right to choose you "
Her hand froze midway while her firm grip on his shirt slackened. Then she let go and took a step back saying " You're not Ben "
"Of course I'm not Ben, I just have his body but you can call me Lawrence " he answered quite enthusiastically causing her brows to narrow down on him suspiciously.
"H-how is that possib....?" her eyes suddenly moved to the corner and rested on her brother wide-eyed.
"T-Trevor " She choked, then turned to face Lawrence with a furious expression " What did you do to my brother?! "
He pursed his lips " Nothing much, just have him under his control. But don't worry, I won't do anything to him since he's your brother "
Lia spat at him determinedly " I don't know what you are but you're returning to wherever you came from this instant! "
Then she opened her mouth to scream but what came out of her mouth were just ordinary sounds the moment Lawrence held up his hand.
Shocked but still refusing to believe what just happened , Lia screamed again until she got herself in a coughing fit but still got the same result.
"What did you do to me? " Lia rasped, holding her throat and was a little out of breath.
"Just stopped your powers from working on me, you seem to have forgotten I'm in possession of Ben's body, including his memories "
He began to walk towards her as she cautiously took a step back until her back hit the wall and he placed his hands on either side of the wall, trapping her.
"I know everything he knows about you " he bent his head and murmured into her ears and dragged his gaze to her face saying,
" Look into my eyes "
But Lia didn't , instead bite down hard on her lips.
Infuriated, Laurence gripped her chin tightly enough to leave a bruise and lifted her face towards his.
"I said, look into my eyes " he commanded, his voice dangerously low and firm as his eyes flashed an eerie green.
" What do you see? " he asked, his intense spooky greenish eyes boring into her's.
Lia's eyes sparkled with pride " My King "
Then he bent and claimed her lips.
