Her Soul and His Blood novel Chapter 6

They hurriedly ran through the way. They felt so happy when they got to their home.

Zella went to her room and kept her bag  beside her drawer, stretched her arms and then sat on her bed. A chill passed down her spine when she thought of that dark forest. 'I hate this town and that forest' she mumbled.

She went to washroom, and splashed some cold water on her face. Then she took a hot bath and changed her clothes into a loose blue pants and black T-shirt with the words 'Make me smile' written on it . She was going through the chapters they had learned in class earlier and when she got to the chapter of Romeo and Juliet, she recalled Lance's body structure and his face. She sighed, dreaming about him.

She got out her phone and texted Eli;

Zella- Hi, I need your help.

Eli- Yupppp, what do you want my dear?

       Do you want me to give me the details about your new crush?

Zella- OMG, how did you know I have a crush?

Eli- That's why I'm your best friend.

Zella rolled her eyes and typed-

-You know Percy must have told you.

Eli- Yesss

Zella- There is nothing like that Eli. He's just an asshole who stares a lot

    Let me tell you why I messaged you, I need a hand for my assignment.

Eli- Yeah sure, come over today. Let us finish it.

Zella- Not today, during the weekend.

Eli- Ok then, bye take care.

Zella- Yeah, bye.

Zella plugged her phone in to charge and went out to the garden for some fresh air. She enjoyed the calming effect the breeze had on her.

"Zella.. baby come inside" Mrs Christi called Zella

Zella went inside. Meanwhile someone was still spying on her from the bushes and was watching her go inside.

They all sat in a round table having their dinner and talking about how their day went.

"How was your day kids"Mr christi asked." Awesome as always" Zad answered.

"My day was good. I met a strange guy today. He is a nerd but he acts a little weird" Zella said

"Ohh, my child is into someone " Mrs christi grinned while serving food to everyone.

"No mom, its just that he is weird."

"Is that so?" Her dad cocked his brow and forked his food.

"Dad..."she rolled her eyes.

She quickly finished her food, ending the conversation, bade each other goodnight and went back to bed.

Zella slid the curtain of her balcony, her memory flashed with the images of the dark forest and the girl who was being killed. She sat on her bed and finally drifted off to sleep.

"Lance can you pass me that book that has a chapter on heridity." Zella asked politely.

He hands over the book and his hands brushed hers briefly, she had flash when her skin touched his." He turned aside, his eyes changing its color from black to blue.

*******

She gasped from her bed, started laughing when she realized it was a dream.She got up and went to brush her teeth. She had the feeling that something new would happen. She took a cute floral gown which was till her knees. She tamed her curls and went downstairs.
