Chapter 17: 17. Birthday
" I am feeling different. I can feel my power."
" our bond is making you stronger. It is even making me stronger."
Lance took her close. He wanted to tell her everything.
" my father was being killed and Mr.Peterson adopted us. We were just few months old. They killed our
mother too."
" who?"
His eyes were raging with fire and it turned blue like an ocean. His fangs were out. He tried to control
himself.
" Ze, you have to go now."
" its ok Lance. You can tell me whatever you want."
" I met Hance. He told me everything. He was a nice person and he was my bestfriend. But he
changed into an evil. He says he became like this because of the reason behind our parents death. He
asked me to join him."
" what did you decide?"
" I wont, I can''t be an evil like him or my father. I can''t kill innocent humans."
His hands were cold. Ze hold it tight and squeezed his hand.
" you won''t change. I trust you. Will youe to ss from tomorrow?"
" hmm" he nodded.
Ze wished Merlin and went back to her home.
Days and months passed. Ze and Lance were two couples whom others wanted to follow. Eli and
Percy were always there for Ze. It became a situation were Ze cant live without Lance even though
he is a vampire, Ze too is not an ordinary women. There was no threat shown up till now. Ze
thought everything was over, but she didn''t know that something big ising.
Herees the special day when she turns into 18. It is Ze''s birthday today. First time she is
celebrating her birthday with her boyfriend. There''s not a more important birthday than an 18th one.
Early morning she opened her eyes to see Lance sitting beside her. He is smiling at her. She blinked
her eyes twice to rify her doubt and its him.
"Happy Birthday." he wished her. She hugged him tight and gave a peck on his lips.
"Thank you so much" her eyes shed with tears of happiness.
He opened a small ring case and gifted her a ring. She was so happy to see it and hugged him tight
again. And her lips met his and was deeply making love with his lip.
" well,see you tonight." and Lance went off through the balcony.
Ze nned of throwing out a party tonight. She is excited to open her very first gift ''the dairy'' and to
read it and to know what is inside the diary. She miss her grandmother a lot. She went downstairs and
saw Mr.Christi waiting for her downstairs.
"Happy birthday sunshine"
" thank you Dad." he gave a kiss on her cheek. And he left to his work.
"Happy birthday sweetheart"
" thank you Mom, can we call grandma today"
" no, she is busy" Mrs.Christi ignored her. Ze went upstairs feeling sad for it.
"This shows her anger towards grandmother" she told to herself. They are getting ready for the party
and started decorating the house for the night party. Zad came upstairs to Ze''s room.
"Happy birthday Ze."
" thank you Zad" he hugged her tight.
" look what I brought for you." and he gave Ze a bracelet.
"Its awesome bro."
" I know right."
They got ready to go to school. Before leaving, she checked her phone to see Eli''s and Percy''s wishes
and she thanked them back.
When she reached ss, all of them wished her. It made her day happy. She invited everyone for her
birthday party.
During night outside the house there are lights and tables with food and choctes and wine for the
elders. Some of the neighbors and Ze''s friends have been arrived for the party.
The sky was ck tranquility married to a poetry of stars. It was the softness that called body and brain
to rest and let the heart go to its steady rhythm. Night came as a reward of sorts, a restfulness above to
calm the soul.
The creamy sheets of the silk dress slipped onto Ze''s shoulders, peppering her body with soft,
sensual kisses. Like a lover, it seduced the senses and conveyed with utmost skill the art of pleasing.
Ze''s eyes were searching for Lance in the crowd. She found him standing in the corner. His pale skin
looked so...right. He had on a white cotton shirt with a silky blue vest and a pair of ck pants, which
tied everything together. She approached near him.
" heye with me. Why are you standing here?"
" you wont like meing with you, beautiful."
"Why are you saying like this?"
" I said the truth." A cruel smile came from the corner of his mouth.
Ze stared at him maintaining silence.
" Don''t you need my gift?" Hisugh echoed in the darkness.
"Gift?"
Ze stepped backwards. She hold her ne tight and asked herself to show their vampire phase.
She saw a fiery red eyes standing infront of her. She stepped backwards and ran towards the crowd. It
is Hance. He is still staring at her. He gave her a notorious smile.
Eli and Percy came to Ze. They both hugged her and presented her with gifts. She is enjoying her

time with them but still searching for Lance.
After few hours she saw Lance standing near the door and waiting for her. She is not sure whether it is
Lance or Hance. She hold her ne and asked for their vampire phase. The bright blue pearlish
eyes were shining on the angr face.
It wasn''t quite a t-shirt, it wasn''t quite a shirt. The cor yed about his neck in the warm wind, the
fabric was close enough to show the shape of his chest. It would have been pretty in any colour,
something Ze wanted to touch, hug, loose herself in, if only for a moment. Then she caught his eye.
He flexed and wiggled his eyebrows, a smile ready to light his face, one to match the cheeky gleam in
his eyes. Ze looked for all the world like a child found with an extra cookie, then she shrugged,
smiling broadly, "Well, Lance, God made you cute for a reason; I''m just enjoying the view."
They cut her birthday cake after making a wish and celebrates with dj music. Everyone is quite involved
in their own world having fun and dancing to the core of music.
Ze whispered to Lance
" I have a gift to open with you, lets go to my room."
She held his hand and take him to her room. Her room looks like a princess room today. Its different
from what he saw in the morning. Everything ispletely pink.
" so you love to being a princess."
" I never know that my room turned it into a princess room. Its a surprise for me, but from whom? Mom
or Dad?"
They heard a knock from outside. Ze opened the door. She is surprised to see that person.
" grandmaaa.." she ran into her and hugged her tight. " so its your surprise, this room. But mom told me
that you are busy today."
" how can I note when my little princess turning into an adult and Who is going to have great
responsibilities to handle. You need my help isn''t it?"grandmother gave a look to Lance. Her eye brows
furrowed.
"Is he your boy friend?"
Ze nodes her head yes.
" he looks strange, mischief." She gave him a knowing smile. " I can smell blood."
Lance turns away his face. He kind of had a feeling of something strange in her. His eyes started to
shine.
" well. He must be someone I know." She went close to him and whispered something. Lance''s fangs
came out after hearing those unknown words in unknownnguage.
" A vampire" Grandma said in a sharp voice.
" grandma, let me exin. He is not a bad guy. And.."
" I know Ze, I know much better than you do. But take precautions before everything." She turned to
face Lance " take care of my grand daughter. You might be knowing that she is the protector."
Lance nodded his head. She went near the door to leave the room. Before leaving she smiled at Ze.
" don''t let anyone know this including your parents and Zad. Read the dairy soon. Grandma is leaving
back today."
Ze hugged her tight and gave her kiss on her cheek and she kissed her back on Ze''s forehead.
Ze and Lance sat down on the bed. She opened all the gift wraps of the dairy. She opened the first
page of the dairy.
My dear princess and the protector of the aura ....
