MEILIN’S REBORN (Battle Of The Heart And Throne)

Elvis eyes sparkled while looking at the foods that were arranged on the table.

“This is so awesome, I’m really glad to have come here” he smiled and took a chopstick and began putting different kinds of food on his plate.

Once he was done, he used hands to take the turkey wing and began eating it as fast as he could.

“Hey eat slowly, you might choke” someone said beside him and he turned to see Gianna looking for what to eat too.

“I’m sorry this chicken is just so delicious, you know where I came from…

He said and licked his fingers then took another chicken wing.

“I only eat fruit and wine,” he replied.

“Just fruit and wine??, Where did you come from?.. heaven?” Gianna scoffed and took some rice with the chopsticks.

Elvis gasped at her reply and immediately looked at her.

“You guests are so right, I came from heaven but it’s a different kind of heaven, it’s called…” He looked left and right and moved closer to her.

“The Jade heavens” he whispered.

“So you’re a prince then, the Jade heavens I do read in novels are for royals” she replied.

“No I’m a bodyguard” he pouted and Gianna shook her head.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“I’m not lying, I might look handsome but I really am a bodyguard” he said.

“Did you drink that black beer?” Gianna suddenly asked, pointing at a beer that was on the table beside the food and he gave her a confused look.

“Why are you asking that?” He asked

“Because you’re talking like a drunkard” she replied and stood up then went back to the dance floor.

“A drunkard?” Elvis muttered and rubbed his cheeks lightly.

His eyes searched for the beer and he finally saw it.

“Hmm” he shrugged and opened it then began drinking.

Zachary got bored of drinking and doing nothing so he decided to excuse himself outside.

He stood up and walked out of the house then went to the compound.

The compound was also filled with a few students talking and laughing, some kissing, some chatting and some holding hands.

He just shook his head and sat on the stone outside.

Since he can’t make any move for now, he decided to relax here till everywhere is a bit free.

His relaxation was going great till someone came to sit beside him. Turning to see who it was, it was none other than…

Lucy.

“Hey” she smiled but he faced his front and acted like he didn’t see her.

“You look so lonely, not having fun at the party?” She asked, playing with her hair but Zachary still didn’t say anything.

Seeing that he wasn’t answering Lucy bit her lips slightly and brought her hands to get a thick jacket.

“Just when I thought that I’ll be cold here, I was wrong.. it’s so hot in here” she muttered and began taking off her jacket  slowly.

Now, she was left with just an armless dress that was exposing all her cleavage.

Zachary suddenly stood up and she smiled.

It was working already.

“Wanna hang out with me alone?” She asked, slowly standing up to.

Instead of replying, he began taking off his jacket and once he was done, he moved closer to her and covered her body with it.

Lucy stared at him confusedly and he stepped away from her, his face didn’t show any form of emotions at all.

“I’ll tell you just one thing” he started, staring at her with those empty eyes as usual.

“What?” She asked slowly.

“Don’t ever try to show your body off to me or any other guy. It’s for your own good because you’ll just embarrass yourself if you do so” he replied and began leaving.

“Why’s that?” She asked and he paused then stared back at her.

“It’s not attractive,” he answered and left completely.

Lucy became ashamed of herself immediately.

Was her body really not attractive??

“You see Lucy, I told you not to go for him” Isla said, coming to meet her from behind.

“He said I’m not attractive,” Lucy replied in tears.

“He’s lying,” Violet rolled her eyes.

“He’s not, that’s why I don’t have a boyfriend, no guy has ever even asked me out, that’s also why Colton broke up with me just after a month of being together” she cried.

“Colton is a bastard,” Isla replied.

Lucy just covered her body properly and continued crying.

“Stop crying and remember that you’ve lost your bet” Violet smirked.

“Yeah, you’ll have to go on your knees and apologize to Gianna on Monday,” Isla added.

“No!!” Lucy screamed and ran back into the party.

Isla and Violet looked at themselves and shook their heads before going back in too.

BACK TO THE PARTY

“Did you hear the gist?” Nevaeh asked when Gianna came to join her at the lounge chair.

“What news?” Gianna asked.

“The seniors said that it’s okay for us to sleep here,” Nevaeh smiled.

“So we’ll have a sleep over here, cool!” Gianna smiled.

Harmony suddenly came to join them with a bottle of drink in her hands.

“Hey girls” she smiled.

“Hey” Gianna waved and Nevaeh secretly rolled her eyes.

“Are we all having fun, look I got us some drinks” she smiled, showing them the bottle and three cups she was holding.

“Oh I love peach juice, I’ll have some” Gianna smiled and Harmony nodded.

She sat beside them and poured the juice in the three cups.

“Cheers” she smiled as she took hers.

Gianna took hers and Nevaeh took hers too then they all clicked the class.

Nevaeh began drinking while Gianna was about to drink hers when a voice screamed in her ears.

“Don’t drink it!” The voice ordered.

“Huh? Why not?” She asked and Nevaeh stared at her confusedly.

“Who are you talking to?” Harmony asked.

“Nothing” Gianna shook her head and drank it up.

She smiled at the sweet taste and took the whole bottle then began drinking.

“Hey save some for us will ya, I’ll go get us some food” Harmony smiled and stood up then left.

She stopped at a corner and an evil smirk began appearing on her face then slowly her eyes started changing colours to blue.

“She seems strange, why didn’t she drink?” Nevaeh muttered.

“Who knows? ” Gianna shrugged and made to drink again but paused when she began seeing a girl in an historical rope.

With the way the girl was dressed and how she looked, she looked exactly like how her novel described Xia Meilin.

“Xia Meilin?” She called.

“Come with me” the girl said and Gianna stood up immediately.

The girl began leaving the party and Gianna started following her.

“Anna, where are you going?” Nevaeh asked.

She wanted to stand but her legs suddenly wobbled making her fall.

“Anna” she called again and held her head as it suddenly began hurting.

She began seeing the picture of someone coming to attack Gianna from behind with full speed.

“Anna” she whispered and closed her eyes,  falling asleep on the couch.

***

Gianna kept walking to only God knows where, she didn’t even understand what was happening, all she knows is that she was following that princess at her front.

Speaking of the princess, where is she??. The princess is gone already and she didn’t even know where she was.

Suddenly she began feeling like someone was coming at the back of her with full speed, she turned back and saw nothing then she faced her front back.

The person got to her and it was Zachary.

His hand was stretched forward, coming with a huge force as he attacked from behind when a golden light appeared from nowhere, pushing him back.

He flew backwards and came back forward again and Angie appeared.

“I’m really for you this time” he muttered and moved to Angie and the both of them began fighting immediately.

Gianna paused on her movement when she felt something was going on, she turned back confusedly but the two immediately disappeared.

She shrugged and faced her front back then creased her brows.

“What am I doing here, I better go back in” she muttered and began going back to the frat house, staggering as she walked.

As soon as she was out of sight, both Zachary and Angie turned visible at the same time.

They started glaring at themselves.

“What is your problem?” Angie asked.

“I should ask you that angel of light, you better go back to your Jade heavens and let me do my thing” Zachary frowned.

Angie smirked and moved closer to him.

“This mission is mine, I won’t let you or anyone sabotage it so go back and serve your princesses, general Kia” Angie replied and disappeared off.

Zachary scoffed silently and his book appeared to him.

~ Maybe you should just forget about killing her for today~

“What?? You want me to forget! Don’t you get me… I’m sick of staying here” he said angrily.

~There’s still a lot of time, so what if you fail the mission, are you afraid of the punishment you will face~

“You know I’m not afraid of anything” Zachary muttered.

~ that’s it, instead of trying to kill the girl, you can try finding out about yourself~

Zachary twitched his lips and closed the book.

“I’m going back to the hostel” he muttered and began leaving.

He got to the main compound that was filled with students and accidentally bumped into a drunk guy who was staggering and coming out of the house.

The bottle of beer that the guy was holding hit Zachary’s book and poured on it.

Zachary’s eyes widened and he immediately bent down to pick it.

“Look what you’ve done!” He said angrily but the guy kept chewing on his lips.

“Dum earthling” he muttered and left the frat house.
