The Vampire’s Omega

Chapter 59.

The Morgan’s family were living just fine and it was already a few days ago since their encounter with the stranger.

Annabelle apologized to Luna for allowing the frictional movie they saw at the mall to get a better part of her and Luna just laughed it off, believing them.

Curiosity killed the cat they always say because though Katherine made it clear that they three should forget about their seeing of the stranger, it had been a complete unsuccessful process for they had been thinking hard and Annabelle and Xander wanted to visit the mall again to find him.

“Mom, allow us to go to the mall to get you the mayonnaise, we won’t stay long and traveling with the cab is safe here, so you will be just fine.” Xander said to Luna.

Luna had planned to make them vegetables salad that evening, only for her to discover that there was no mayonnaise and she always loved her salad with mayonnaise. She had prepared herself to go to the mall to buy it but Xander suddenly started saying that he would go to the mall to help her to buy it with Annabelle.

“No, that is not possible! How can I stay in the house and send you out to buy something for me? You three are still very young.” Luna disagreed, already walking out of the door.

“But mom…” Annabelle wanted to persuade her more but Katherine interrupted her.

“Shut up you both, you are going to make her suspicious.” She said, not staring at any of them, she was busy playing with Drac.

“You three should stay indoor till I’m back okay? I won’t stay out for long.” Luna said from outside the door and left leaving Xander and Annabelle to sigh in defeat.

“Do you both still want to go?” Katherine questioned Xander and Annabelle immediately she confirmed that Luna had entered a cab and the cab had driven her off.

“Go to where?” Xander asked Katherine, not quite understanding what she meant because they didn’t planned anything with her.

“You both were going to find that strange man, weren’t you? So you both decided to use mom’s mayonnaise as an excuse to go but mom cannot allow her two underage kids to cross the road by themselves.”

“How do you know all this?” Xander asked Katherine, he was quite shocked of how she found out of their plans.

“Have you been spying on us every time we plan?” Annabelle accused her.

“I am having no answer to your questions. If you like, ask for my help and leave quickly before mom comes back or you both stand there and keep on questioning me till mom returns and you will have no opportunity to go out to find him again.” Katherine stood up from her seat, carried Drac in her arms and began to walk to their room.

“Fine you win, help us to go out and we will pay you back.” Annabelle negotiated.

Katherine chuckled, “I don’t need you to pay me back Annabelle. If you both find the man and he turns out to be our father, it will be our gain but if you don’t find him again, then we will just assume that we are the second Jesus Christ of Nazareth.”

“I pray we are not. Help us quickly so that we will be back soon.” Xander told Katherine.

“Fine. Pick the money under that cushion on the couch and leave, use the money for your transport fee. Don’t worry about me, I will be fine, just make sure that you both are safe. I don’t know how to pet mom if you both hurt yourselves.” Katherine said before continuing her way to their room.

“Thank you.” Annabelle appreciated before picking up the money.

“How did she got the money there?” Xander asked Annabelle as they walked out of their house.

“I don’t know. Sometimes, I am scared of that girl.” Annabelle said, stopping a cab. She told the cabdriver their destination and she entered with Xander.

“I just hope we find him, I’m afraid of believing that we have no father.” Cancer said.

“Me too.” Annabelle replied and they both remained quiet till they got to their destination.

“Thank you.” They appreciated the cabdriver and paid him his money immediately they got to the mall.

Luckily for them, the mall was not the same as the one their mother went to, so they entered.

“Nothing changes, this place is still as beautiful as before.” Annabelle gushed.

“Stare away from the beauty of this place and focus on our reason for being here or else we will be distracted and just allow Katherine’s sweat to be in vain. Though I wonder where she would tell mom that we go to?” Xander said.

“Don’t worry about that, she is smart, she will come up with something.”

They both went to the place where they met the stranger, hoping for a miracle that they would meet him just there, waiting for them but to their disappointments, they met people that don’t looked anything like the stranger.

“Wait Annabelle, what were we thinking when we came here? Aren’t we supposed to know that we won’t meet him here? It’s a simple logic.” Xander complained.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“If you call me a fool right now, I won’t mind.” Annabelle said too, feeling like a fool, “We only leave the house for fun and now, mom will break our heads.” She thought, tears was already gathering in her eyes.

“Come, let’s look around the mall, we might find a clue.” Xander said, already walking further inside the mall.

Annabelle sniffed in her tears, “We need anything, just anything that will lead us to him.” She thought, following Xander behind.

Xander and Annabelle walked round the mall searching for the stranger that looked like Xander. They searched to a time that all the mens’ faces in the mall started turning to the stranger’s own in their sight but immediately they look again to confirm, the face is gone and it will turn back to the actual one.

“He doesn’t seems to be existing, maybe we were hallucinating the other day we saw him, maybe we saw no one, maybe we will remain fatherless till we die and mom will remain a widow.” Xander thought with his eyes so red, “Let’s just go home.” He said, trying to keep his tears in check but it wasn’t the same with Annabelle.

Annabelle was just walking silently behind him, her tears blinding her sight and she cleaned it with her palms continuously, she only held herself from falling as she kept on moving, it got to a time she sat down on the mini stairs in front of the mall and cried aloud.

Xander became at alert when he heard her cry and rushed to her, he didn’t know how to stop her from crying, he just sat down beside her and continued staring at her.

“Why are you both sitting down and crying here, preventing us from passing? Is it a free tears day?”
