SWEET THORN : CHAPTERS 71 – 80
By Authoress Tee
Chapter 78
?Draco’s Fortress?
Pearl opened her eyes and she’s in that beautiful valley again.
Her white gown with crystals and her hair still adorned with flowers.
“Why am I here again?” She mumbled to herself, feeling scared of the whole scene.
“Pearl!” She heard her name in a whisper and turned to her back swiftly.
Before her were thousands of girls dressed in the same way she is. Pearl moved backwards with staggering steps.
“Don’t be scared Pearl, you’re one of us” a girl in front said and she shook her head.
“You’re one of us!” The others chorused.
“No! Am not like you” she replied, stepping back.
“You’re one of us!” Their chorus came again.
“No!!!” She yelled.
“You’ll soon join us” they said, smiling deviously.
Pearl stopped walking back when her gown got caught in a thorn of a white rose.
She struggled to get it and in the struggle, her hand got cut by the rose thorn.
“Ahhh!” She winced silently and held the hand.
Her bI.ood droplets fell on the white rose and it turned red immediately.
The same red color spread to the others. Pearl shifted from them and stopped.
She’s now between the roses and the weird looking girls, that didn’t say anything nor move.
“Drusilla’s BI.ood! Drusilla’s BI.ood!! Drusilla’s BI.ood!!!
Sounds were coming from the flowers. She shut her eyes and closed her ears with her hands and screamed.
“Gem! Gem!! Pearl!!! Draco half yelled, shaking her body.
She gasped back to real life and sat on the bed, panting.
“Are you okay?” Draco asked worriedly and she hugged him tight instead. He started patting her hair to calm her down.
They actually slept on the same bed.
“Am scared, they said I am going to join them” she muttered, crying on his chest.
“That’s not true, you’re not going anywhere” he said, consoling her.
“I don’t want to leave you” she cried harder.
“You won’t!” He said sternly and broke the hug.
He looked at her eyes and noticed how red and puffy they were.
“Such a crybaby!” He smiled and kssed her teary eyes.
Pearl used her hands to rub on them, which made her look very cute like an infant.
“How old are you Gem?” Draco suddenly asked and she looked up at him.
“I’m nineteen, but I’ll be twenty soon,” she replied.
“Hmm..”
“What is it?”
“Nothing Gem. I just figured your time is late unlike others” he responded.
“What time?” She asked, furrowing her brows.
“Your blooming time!” he answered, but she remained confused.
“It’s a time where the power of your bI.ood unleashes”.
“What will happen if it does?”
“You will slowly become an immortal if it does and more immortals will want you”.
“I don’t want any of these, I just want a normal life” Pearl said and Draco sighed.
“Is okay, you don’t have to be scared”.
“I just wanna be a normal girl” she cried, shaking her head.
“Am here so no one will hurt you” he said and hugged her.
She cried till it turned to hiccups, and Draco kept patting her back till she felt better.
“Do you want to see something fascinating?” He asked calmly.
“What is that?” She asked back.
“It’s a surprise, let’s go!” He broke the hug with a smile and grabbed her hand.
