Chapter 29 - Goodbye My Love
"Dream of me...dream of us... Laura..." he whispered. He planted a kiss on her forehead and closed his eyes.
The room was blanketed with darkness and silence. Only Laura\'s deep breathing can be heard inside the room.
A few hours later.
Sofia can\'t sleep. She was waiting for her sister to return to her bedroom because they were supposed to sleep together. What took her so long?
Fifteen minutes later.
Sofia rose from the bed. She walked towards the door and exited her bedroom, going to her sister\'s room.
When she arrived at Laura\'s room, she knocked at the door, no one responded, she pushed the door slightly... it opened. She reached for the switch and turns it on. Brightness flooded the entire room. She saw her sister sleeping soundly on the bed.
She entered the room, went to the bed, and put the blanket around her sister\'s body. She also closed the window. She was unaware of the invisible guy standing in the corner a few steps away from the bed.
Since her sister had fallen asleep already, she doesn\'t want to wake her up. She walked to the door, turned off the light, closed the door, and went back to her room to sleep.
Back in Laura\'s room.
Luke\'s doppelganger was already back in the bed, holding Laura\'s soft body close to him, savoring her lovely presence, enjoying her intoxicating womanly scent. He can only hold her this close, for now.
~o0o~
The following day.
Laura walked up to a sunny morning.
She didn\'t leave the bed right away. She stared at the ceiling of her room for a few minutes and then glanced at the window. Surprisingly... she had no recollection of what happened last night.
She stretched her body and got up from the bed and went to the bathroom.
A few minutes later, she exited the toilet and changed her clothes. She combed her hair while sitting on the bed, she tried hard not to look at the mirror, she avoided it completely.
Done combing her hair, she exited her room to find her parents.
She met Sofia in the hallway.
"Good morning, sis!" Sofia greeted her elder sister.
"Good morning, Sofia. Are Mother and Father up already?" Laura inquired.
"Yes," Sofia nodded her head. "I think they\'re already in the dining hall, waiting for our presence so that we can eat breakfast together," she replied.
"Okay, let\'s go downstairs to the dining hall to eat breakfast." Laura intertwined her hand with her sister as they descended the stairs going to the dining room.
When they arrived in the dining room, they saw their parents about to start eating.
Simon looked at his children\'s faces. "Girls, eat your breakfast quickly so that we can start our journey early," he said.
"Yes, Father," Sofia and Laura replied in unison. They lowered themselves on the chair, picked up the cutlery, and began putting food on their plates.
The family eats their meals in silence.
Half an hour later, they were done with breakfast.
Simon looked at his daughters. "Girls, have you done packing?" he asked.
Sofia nodded her head. "Yes, I\'m done, Father," she replied.
Simon no longer asked Laura because he knows that she has already done packing her things since yesterday, she was supposed to go with the vampires last night, but the vampires didn\'t take his daughter! Which is a good thing! A God-given miracle!
"Girls, we should hurry up! Go back to your rooms, take a bath and let\'s get ready to leave once we\'re all ready," Simon ordered.
"Okay, Father!" the girls responded in unison and left the dining room going back upstairs to their respective room to get ready for their journey.
Laura went inside her room, grabbed her clothes and towel, and went inside the bathroom to have a quick bath.
Fifteen minutes later, she exited the bathroom fully dressed.
She gathered all her toiletries and put them all in one bag.
A moment later, the male servants knocked on the door to get her luggage and bring it downstairs.
She watched as the servants picked up her bags and exited the room.
She walked towards the window and closed it. She walked around the room looking for anything that she had missed bringing along with her to her journey to South Pond.
Nothing...
Time to leave!
She was about to ignore the mirror...but at the last minute, she stared at it for a few minutes. She can\'t understand herself! She was supposed to ignore the mirror... but somehow...she can\'t help herself but look at it for the last time.
Part of her wanted to say goodbye to Luke even if he is a fake one.
She was not disappointed... Luke\'s doppelganger appeared in the mirror.
"You summoned me...my love?" Luke asked, his eyes boring into hers.
"I\'m not!" she denied.
"Are you going somewhere?" he asked softly.
"Yes! I\'m going somewhere far away and please don\'t follow me there!" she told him.
"Where?" he inquired.
Laura smiled in satisfaction. It looks like the mysterious guy in the mirror can\'t follow her. This is a good thing! She can finally get rid of him for good!
"Goodbye!" she said and picked up the toiletry bag from the bed going to the door to leave the bedroom.
She was about to reach for the door to open it but Luke\'s doppelganger suddenly materialized in front of her. She took a step backward to avoid colliding with him. "Don\'t block my way!" she barked at him.
"What-? Going away without saying a proper goodbye to me? That won\'t do!" Luke\'s doppelganger said.
He sneaked his hand in her waist and drew her body closer to him, he stared into her eyes, his mouth coming closer to her face... fanning her lips with his breath.
Laura stood frozen on the spot. She was about to press her hands on his chest to push him away but her strength already deserted her, her body turned limp all of a sudden. She knew that she was already under the mysterious guy\'s power, he was controlling her body!
When his hungry lips sought her mouth, she was not able to do anything to resist him. He claimed her mouth hungrily and engaged her in a gentle and passionate kiss, just like the way Luke used to kiss her.
Suddenly, she felt like it was just Luke and her kissing each other... she become heady with passion and her lips responded on its own betraying her screaming mind, warning her that she was not kissing Luke at all, she was kissing his doppelganger!
But Laura\'s body was increasingly feverish with lust and passion wanting to experience Luke\'s hot kisses and fiery touches which could bring her to cloud nine.
She didn\'t object when Luke picked her up and carried her effortlessly in his arms, heading to the bed.
He deposited her body gently in the bed, and they resumed kissing each other\'s mouth passionately.
His hands were busy stroking her erogenous body parts while his lips were assaulting her mouth with arousing kisses.
Laura\'s body was already throbbing with feverish desire. A moan of pleasure escapes her mouth.
His hand sneaked inside her underwear.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Laura and Luke\'s doppelganger froze.
"Sister, I\'m ready to go! How about you? Are you done? Let\'s go downstairs together!" Sofia\'s voice rang in the air.
Luke\'s doppelganger disengaged from Laura\'s body. He got up from the bed and looked at her face intensely for a few seconds. Then he planted a gentle kiss on her forehead. "Goodbye, Laura, my love, \'till we meet each other again!" he said and vanished instantly from the room.
Laura stood up and sat on the bed, her face flustered. She looked at the closed door. "Sofia, go down first...I\'ll go down a few minutes later. I still need to use the toilet," she replied. She remained seated on the bed, trying to calm her body and mind.
"Okay, see you downstairs..." Sofia replied and left.
