Chapter 210: Blood calls

As I entered the club after changing into something casual, I was still feeling bad about Sophia calling my go getter a delinquent. As such, when I saw her just idling at the end of the bar as she watched the crowd, I walked over with a smile on my face.

Keyla was currently looking around the room for a meal. She liked to pick her food ahead of time and she would reap the rewards after the casual night planned with Apollo. As she was looking around, she noticed the man of her thoughts walking towards her and she lost her breath.

Keyla could kill a whole room of people no problem, but that smile is what her emotions to go into haywire. Before she could even process why her Apollo would be smiling like that, he arrived in front of her.

"Come here." I said as I took Keyla by the arm. She was wearing casual jeans with a white t-shirt underneath a nice leather bomber that paired well with my own jacket. "Is everything Apollo? *Gasp* Are you taking me somewhere private so I can gobble you up again? I wont say no to that." She said energetically.

I smiled at Keyla's humour. "No not quite, Sophia said something mean about you and I want to prove her wrong by having a few dances with you. Is that ok?" I unconsciously stroked her arm as I said this, causing butterflies to encompass her body with the arm being the origin point.

"A Private dance? MMh Apollo, Its like you are trying to swoon me. It wont work hot stuff." Keyla said with a wink as we walked, but as I turned my back on her, she flushed red and internally screamed. 'EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.'

As we began our dancing, we got a couple looks of curiosity due to the size difference. Me being 6ft8 and her being 4ft11 was quite the contrast after all. That being said, neither of us cared as I was proving to myself that Keyla was indeed my little ball of glee, while Keyla was simply thinking of the best ways to grind up against me without me realising.

After a whole song and Keyla snapping new pictures of Apollo enjoying himself for her collection, her curiosity got the better of her. "Hey Apollo, tell me something. "She yelled over the music, even though we both could drown it out. "What did dear old mommy say about me for me to get such a treat?"

"What? Oh nothing much to be honest. We were talking about Jinx and she said that if you are her delinquent, Jinx is her menace or something. Hey are you ok?" Keyla's face lost total emotion for a moment and it had me worried.

'Aaah that slut! I would kill her if I could! Shit, Shit, Shit. I can't let Apollo know my true nature, he wouldn't love me any more. OH no he is staring, say something you dumb slut!'

"Oh Mother is a handful isn't she. Bad mouthing me behind my back. I will get my comeuppance later hot stuff don't you worry about your little 'life of the party.' Now follow me, lets do some shots instead of dancing hmm?" She said cutely and with her usual vigour before pulling me to the bar.

"Woah Keyla, slow down. Are you sure you are ok? I am sorry if I upset you." I said as I watched concerned as Keyla threw back multiple shots containing Sophia's concentrated poison.

After throwing one last one back, Keyla did not feel better, in fact a rage that filled her with fear began to encompass her body. Turning to Apollo, she smiled sweetly and placed her hand on his leg.

"I am fine Apollo, gosh you are such a worrier huh? Now stay here a minute I have to tinkle." Keyla said before scurrying off to the employee restroom. Once she made it, she locked the door behind her before collapsing onto the floor and screaming a blood curdling cry of rage.

Her call of the blood was flaring up. She had not had an episode in a long while, especially since Apollo had became a part of her life. "No, No no. He can't see me like this." She stood up to look in the mirror and blood had begun to run from her eyes, nose, mouth and ears.

She was not injured, and it was not her actual blood, just her ability bathing her in what she craved. As Keyla stood there and stared at herself to gain control over her urges, she suddenly panicked. "NOOOO!" She screamed louder than before.

The voices she was usually merged with began to vie for control and actively attempted to block the parasites hold on her in her Mindspace. Upon feeling that, Keyla lost her cool as she brought a knife up to her throat. "You will not take what bonds me to Apollo! If I feel that bond teeter any further, you will lose your vessel I swear you fuckers!"

Keyla's eyes were bulging out of her sockets as she stared staring around the room hyper focused. She stayed there a few moments holding herself hostage. Slowly her breathing that had become erratic due to the scenario, began to slow down.

With her back in control and the voices once again merged with her, Keyla slumped to the ground, relieved that her Apollo was safe and did not see any of that. Just as she thought that, the door to the restroom was barged down.

Sophia barged into the restroom and looked around frantic. Seeing her daughter on the floor, Sophia said to the two men she had brought with her. "Watch the door." Before falling on the ground next to Keyla. Searᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Keyla was not really emotionally dependent as she had always masked her emotions, but right now after what she went through, she needed her mother. Sophia's expensive dress was ruined in an instant due to the Psionic blood, but she did not care. As she held Keyla she whispered.

"I am sorry sweet thing, I should not have told Apollo about your other self. I know you were keeping it secret for now, it just slipped out a little bit. He does not believe me anyway." Sophia continued to stroke Keyla's hair a short while before she continued.

"I could feel myself losing you for a moment. The pain and fear that came through your under link. I am so sorry my little one." Keyla said nothing, just cherishing the embrace of the woman she had mere minutes ago was fantasising about murdering.

Eventually, the two of them got of the ground and as Keyla sniffled, she said. "I have never gone that far before while still retaining my sanity mother, but when they went after my parasite, It felt like I would lose apart of myself that tied me to our mate. I love him too much for that to happen so I held my knife to my throat and warned them.

And they backed down, as though they were bluffing themselves."

Sophia wiped the bloody tears from Keyla's face. "Oh my little delinquent, what am I going to do with you and your little problem hmmm?" Her smile was tender and loving, unlike the fake smile she puts on in front of the rest of the cult.

Keyla sniffled an laughed having heard the very cause for her rage being said again in a different context. Sophia ran her hands through Keyla's hair and an idea came to her. "When Apollo goes back to his world in a months time, you should go with him. I don't have the hive knowledge to help you with your Psionic ability my sweet, but there is a good chance that the queen would."

Before Keyla could give her affirmation, Sophia continued. "But for now, you are a temporary risk." Keyla closed her eyes as her mother said those words, bracing for what was to come. She felt a sudden pain before everything went black.

Sophia had just used her influence over her parasites to place Keyla into a temporary coma, in case she has another incident. It was common procedure as Keyla's bloodlusts can overwrite her commands at times.

Sophia sighed before calling in one of the guards. "Take her down to the nest pod, I will need to evaluate her closely myself later." The guard nodded at the order. "Yes mother." HE replied before picking up Keyla and walking out of the rest room.

Looking into the mirror, Sophia sighed as she checked herself out. "Ugh, I will have to change again, Hopefully Apollo isn't bored waitin- Oh shit."

Through the under link, Sophia wanted to simply check on her sweets location, but when she realised that Apollo was only visible to one being, and outside of the club at that, she grunted in frustration and muttered.

"That fucking menace!"
