CHAPTER 14
I sat gradually at the long dining table next to Valeska. Eros sat facing Valeska and Bizak was at his side facing me. My father sat on a chair near the tableâs edge.
The menu was just raw meat.
Finally, I tasted the drink made with blood. My father demanded a toast among us. It was the first meal I shared with them in that exotic style, where the blood was the main dish. We were all with our gray eyes and sharp teeth.
The glare reflected from lit torches on the walls of the corners made us see each one clearly. The first person that I faced was my father monitoring our dinner. Then I looked at Valeska, who whispered into my ear after she ran her curious eyes over Eros.
âRemember what we talked about,â she said quietly, just for me to hear.
I said nothing and looked at Bizak after that. I noticed he was facing me with his huge eyes over my picture.
Automatically I swerved my look to his left and saw Eros keeping his head down. He was quiet all the time, as avoided looking at everyone sitting around the dining table. That banquet didnât make him interested in anything. All there sounded so stupid to him.
I looked at a jar on the table, near him.
âEros, can you hand me that jar?â Soon I asked with a tranquil voice.
He looked up into my gray eyes. I gazed fearlessly at his face as I believed in the possibility he also felt something for me. Soon, he made the jar come up to me only with the power of his mind. I was shocked at how quickly the object came towards me.
âYou can also do it Valkyrie,â my father articulated as he saw how amazed I was at that.
âI cannot do it,â serenely I said as my voice lost energy.
âTry to do the same,â he insisted on being my master and father.
He put the jar back in its original place, in the same way as Eros has placed it in front of me.
âYou can do it!â my father persisted then.
I tried not to disappoint him and did what was suggested to me. I stared at the jar, placing all power in my mind as I tried to get something to happen. After several unsuccessful attempts, I gave up, embarrassed.
âI cannot!â I whispered.
âOkay dear,â my father said. âWhen your powers become more precise, you will not fail at it.â
Even saying these words, I noted my father expected more from me. He wanted to see me as a big vampire who was worthy of being his daughter.
âI also took time to learn how to do this,â Bizak commented at smiled lightly in the direction of my chair.
It improved my mood, listening to Bizak saying he went through the same difficulties as I did. It was a sign the problem was not just with me.
I would eventually be able to. It was just a matter of time.
