C3 THE MAYOR'S MANOR

THE HYBRID'S CURSE

CHAPTER 3: THE MAYOR’S MANOR

The Mayor’s mansion, was a beauty to behold. It was decorated with beautiful, ornamental plants, that was lined up, perfectly, leading the way to the entrance of the house. Its spacious walls, well, decorated antiques figures, that had two stature wolves howling in front. The exterior of the mansion, may be breathtaking, but the interior of the mansion, was another universe all together.

Upstairs, in one of the spacious room, having a view of the entire city, was where Michael, was currently in, lying down, on his bed, reading a vampire romance novel, with his ear pods clad in his ears, playing songs, that took, him, to a different time line.

He was a God of, beauty. He had different streaks of colors, in his hair, his eyes were a bright golden color, and he had the perfect sculptured boy, boys envied, and girls adored. Plus, his smile, was out of the world…if only he smiled often.

The door, opened revealing a girl of about 18, with brown colored hair, with strands of the same color, as his, too. She was sipping something, from her cup, with a straw, as Michael glanced at her, and returned back to the book, he was reading.

Hello, Cousin, it is a brand new day. Get up, from the bed, there is reality you know. She said dropping the cup, on, the table as she sat beside him, lying down.

Michael paused the music, and faced her,

What do you want now, Gaia? You always bug me all the time. What possibly could you want now?

Gaia rolled her eyes and said,

I know you are still mad, about last night. My father didn’t really mean anything, he said. He just didn’t see the reason, why…

I shouldn’t feel, bad and kill humans, and drink, their blood right? Right. He said dropping the book, as he stood up, and walked to the mirror.

Gaia stood up, and said,

You got to realize something, Father didn’t mean anything bad. It is our genre. It is the only way of survival. We can’t say no, to what we cannot control, but I didn’t come here to pick sides. Isn’t that why you left your nest? Your father…

I don’t want to talk about, my father. Gaia, you are my cousin, and I came here, because I needed a fresh start, to start anew, go to school, live a life, and not bother myself, concerning anything from, our family. Is that too much to ask? Michael said as Gaia, was lost staring at his abs, as she bit her lips.

Gaia?! Eyes back on, my face. He said snapping his fingers, as Gaia jerked and blinked her eyes.

Sorry about that. I guess I don’t concentrate anymore, when I am in front of an attractive guy. Put some clothes on, before I do something we both regret. She said throwing Michael a shirt who caught it, in midair, and wore it.

Just then, the door, opened again, as a little girl of five years old ran in, jumping on Michael who caught and spun her around.

And here she is, my only reason, why I am staying here. He said as she laughed round, her big blue eyes looking back at him.

Big brother Michael, did you miss me? She said giggling as Michael stopped with the spin, as Gaia rolled her eyes.

You literally saw him, last night before sleeping. You know, I am really jealous, at the fact he gives you more attention, to you than, almost anybody else. Gaia said as she walked towards them.

Of course, I missed you so much, and you are my favorite, that is mine. The rest of the family don’t get me, but you totally do. He said rubbing her face as Lily stuck her tongue out at Gaia.

You know, what. I don’t want to be the center of attraction, anymore, I am going. Gaia said as she carried her cup, from the table, as Lily caught a glance of it.

Is that blood? She asked looking at Gaia, who nodded her head in affirmation. Immediately Michael scowled at her, with anger and disappointment written all over his face, as she continued.

Rabbit, blood. Relax, I didn’t drain a human being. Besides get ready for school, classes start by 8am sharp. Bye, Lily. She said shrugging as she walked out of the room, closing the door, behind her.

Good bye, big sis. Lily said before turning back to Michael again.

Big brother Michael, I had a dream last night, do you want to hear about it. She said as Michael nodded her head.

Of course, I would, tell me everything. Michael said as he sat down on the bed, still carrying Lily.

Okay, in, my dream the bad guys came again and I was alone in the forest. I didn’t see you. you said that you were always going to protect me but you weren’t there, where were you? she asked, a bit sad.

I was on, my way running to save you. of course I will be by your side always. Michael said consoling her.

Don’t bother coming again, because I took care of it. I turned into a full moon, and bit their head off from their body as they dropped dead, and I was covered in their blood. I bit them very hard, because I was scared and angry, and they wanted to kill me. It was those rogues. She said demonstrating how big they were.

I see, and you bit them with these, your little teeth, that are so adorable here. It isn’t even complete. He said poking at her mouth as she smiled and replied.

Stop, making fun of me, it is complete look, and besides I am a wolf, my teeth aren’t cute, they are vicious. She said biting her teeth in front of his face.

Well, I am happy. You are going to be a great Luna, one day. You know that right, and you have to lead the pack.

Of course. She said as she howled as they laughed.
