Chapter 13: AMO TE
"I see, you are here to do good and to make things right. But you chose the wrong time to be the hero . Nothing is going to be good, Katherina." said Rian. " Is it, Rian? Okay then I guess I am here at the perfect time. I got things to do. Bye old buddies, see you around!" said Katherina with a bold lady voice and disappeared. " I got this strange feeling that Katherina is not here for a 'fresh start' like she said. I have seen those eyes before, those eyes with rage and revenge." spoke Rian and jumped up the roof. What did he mean? He have seen those eyes? Does that mean he has met her after Esth's death? Yes , yes that makes sense. He was not so surprised when he saw her, that means he has met her before and already knew that she was a goddamn vampire. As usual I am the last one to know the news. Kath always slips out of my hands every time I try to get near her. But to save Rithika I must go after Kath and know her plans. Max went to the university to see Rithika. "Hey Rithu, you seem so stressed."
"Oh , I am not feeling well and I feel like I am carrying a thousand bars of iron in my heart. " spoke Rithika with a tiring look. Of course she is tired, her life took a big turn in the last few days and she have no one that she is so close to share her feelings and on top of that she has to teach fifty students. I could totally understand her feeling. "How about a road trip to Philadelphia?" asked Max . Rithika cleared her throat and said "That came out of nowhere! Actually I would love to, like you know I was craving for an atmosphere free with twists and chaos." It seemed like Rithika loved the idea and was extremely delighted. Next day she walked out the house with two backpacks , one on her shoulders and other in her hands. A red open car stopped right in front of the house and Max waved his hands from in it. She dropped the bag from her hands to the ground and waved back with a big wide smile. "Welcome to the car miss." said Max as she walked nearer to the car. " A red stylish open car. Classic!" said Rithu as she approached the car. "Blue trendy skirts and summer wear top. Cute!" said back Max while he removed his sun glasses. She kept the bags on the back seat and sat next to the driver's seat.
"So, you said I am cute, huh?" asked Rithu with a blushing smile. "Did I ? When ? I can't remember." replied Max with a laugh. "You idiot! I hate you for this, come on just admit I am cute." replied back Rithu. " You genuinely look like an ice cream " said Max who couldn't control his laugh. "What the fuck man! I hate you." said Rithika by beating on his shoulders. They had a cute , happy start. On the way they stopped by hotels and motels to eat and take rest. Finally they reached Philadelphia all the way from NYC. "Now what? Do you wanna go somewhere?" asked Max. "Can we go to a tattoo parlor? Believe me, it will be so fun." said Rithika who really wanted to get a tattoo on her neck. "Ha yes , if you say so miss. Let's head to " said Max. They both reached the parlor and saw a book with hundreds of tattoo designs which they got to choose from. "This is exciting" shouted Rithika. "Let's try something out of the book. Like any wordings." Maxie said. He proposed an idea to get the tattoo of 'Amo te' . "Amo te? What does it mean?" asked Rithu. It means having hope and always together in Latin , I said.
She got really excited and acted like a small kid getting free chocolates. After getting the tattoo she jumped up and down like crazy and shouted 'Finally I got a tattoo on my neck' . Its actually on the collar bones to be precise.
We got out of the parlor and went to a fair in the city. It was so colourful with roller coasters and giant wheels. Children were running all around. There were many sellers who sold cotton candies, toys , dresses and all the other stuff a man could wish for. "Rithika , just explore the place and shop anything you need but not literally 'anything'. " said Max and handed over his money card. "Yes, yes I get it. You owe me this shopping anyways." said Rithika. "And how do I owe you?" asked Max. "In future we will face so many issues, fights and wars so I'll help you with it." said Rithu with an evil giggle. "Oh ok , let it be. Your stupid theories . I can understand , I'll have to bear your stupid thoughts and theories as long as you are my best friend." said Max by rolling his eyes but with love and care. "Yes you'll have to." said Rithika , "So where are you going?"
"I'll be in the bar, I need two glasses of whiskey, you know. So get going with your shopping" said Max and walked towards the bar. He stood near to the Bar's door and looked out for Rithika. She was already in the dress store, busy shopping Christmas clothes. Now is the right time. I walked out of the bar , took a taxi and went to library of the town. I got inside and saw the librarian standing in the counter. " Hazel" I called out her name. "Oh my God, isn't this Max Britteridge? " asked the librarian in total surprise. "Oh you remember me!" . How could she forget a werewolf who saved her whole family. " I need your help" I didn't want to lengthen the conversation . I had to get back to the fair before Rithu realizes I am gone. " I need you to tell me about the triple walkers. "It's been so long since I dusted off my witch skills. But let me see what I can do." said Hazel and invited him into a hidden room inside where she kept her tools hidden. I entered the room and saw a big wood slab coming straight on to my head from the right side. When I woke up, I was tied with a long rope. I couldn't clearly see what was around. Every thing felt blurry. I just felt like my body temperature was increasing.
My vision was slowly getting clear. I could see a woman walking in front of me from left to right and back to left. That figure felt so familiar. "Ha, look who is back to his senses, Hello Maxie. Didn't expect me?" asked Katherina.
