Chapter 82 Persuading Kate
Zoravec was headed towards Kate's place, but the sudden obstruction made him halt. He paused there on the street and was ensuring that he would probably figure out who was spying on him. Although it was still unsure if somebody was actually spying on him or not. Because Zoravec was not able to pick any traces of anyone unusual.
Nonetheless, Zoravec' concentration was solely focused on the voices around him. It also enabled him to sense that a child on a cycle had been coming towards him. However, Zoravec knew if he stepped aside then whoever was spying on him would get alert. It was obvious that no human was able to sense such stuff. It has to be a dhampir or a vampire.
That's why he did not step aside instead stayed there so the child's cycle could bump into him. All to ensure that he was an ordinary human and the spy was just wasting his time. Zoravec knew the child was barely able to handle his cycle, because he could hear his sobs and irregular breathing.
But before the cycle could hit Zoravec somebody placed a hand over his shoulder and pulled him. Zoravec reflexively opened his eyes and bumped into the wall behind him. As soon as his vision became clear Zoravec saw an old man beside him. He was the one who pulled him and scolded for not paying attention to where he was walking.
"I am sorry, sir. I really am, I will take care next time."
He immediately apologised and turned around to walk his own way. Zoravec was sure that the particular sight should be enough to make the spy acknowledge him as a human. After all, he had to leave to persuade Kate to be his girlfriend and could not afford any spoiling of his plan.
After he had dealt with the old man, Zoravec headed towards the block. He ran on the pavement towards Kate's house and halted in front of the fence. Zoravec could not feel the presence of any person around him now. It appeared that the spy was gone or must have masked the traces of his steps.
'I should head inside and talk to her immediately. Gosh, how will I make it appear natural and not a haphazardly decided thing.'
He was not sure how to proceed but something needed to be done. Zoravec grasped his breath and opened the small wooden door of the lawn.
It was the moment when he saw Hecate coming out of the house. For a moment he was stunned upon seeing her coming out of Kate's place. He was not sure what Hecate was doing there because both of the women were not friendly enough to visit each other. It was obvious that Hecate and Kate barely bumped into each other.
He was unable to comprehend what to conclude from that since it was a sudden progress. However he knew that Devi would not inform Hecate about his little meetup with Kate in the early morning. Because if she did that it would simply put Devi in trouble, if that happened then Hecate would definitely try to get rid of her.
Although it was another thing that Hecate had already planned to hook Zoravec and Kate. Only if he knew then Zoravec would not have to worry about any excuse to tell his seemingly mother. Upon seeing Hecate he could not generate any explanation imminently. She bid goodbye to Kate and walked towards the front lawn, when she saw Zoravec standing in the ingress near the white wooden fence.
"What are you doing here?"
Hecate questioned him at the doorsteps and wanted to know what he was doing there. Zoravec could not bring up an immediate excuse to tell her. But before he could say anything Hecate assumed the reason for his coming.
"Oh, you must be here to take your key chain, right? Kate told me you left your key chain when you both bumped into each other this morning."
She smiled at him and placed her hand over Zoravec' shoulder as Hecate meaningfully looked at him.
He was dumbfounded upon hearing that because Zoravec had no clue he even lost that key chain. It was the moment he reflexively slipped his hand behind, and touched the bag where the chain was supposed to be. He kept his face straight and looked at Hecate so she would not suspect him.
"Yes, go. She is waiting for you. Have fun!"
Zoravec had no clue what did she mean by those words. However, it was obvious that whatever was going to happen inside was not what he must have expected. It made Zoravec curious about what Kate had been planning for him.
After all, he knew Kate was not a simple woman upon seeing her in the morning. And because of whatever happened between him and Hecate it was expected that she could plan something. Although it was not clear if it could be good or bad for him, but he had to see it himself to know about it.
Zoravec saw her going back home, he stood there till Hecate went towards the other side of the lane by crossing the road. He was still contemplating what was happening because his gut feeling was saying that something was suspicious. However, Zoravec was still not sure what was gonna happen ahead but he had to go inside.
"Fuck it, i have to go inside eventually."
He shook his head and walked through the small pavement within the front lawn. Zoravec looked around cautiously and concentrated on the surroundings to ensure that nobody was around.
He could not afford to make any mistakes upon acknowledging that somebody was actually spying on him. Zoravec knew by now that he was not someone who did not have any enemies. After all, he was aware of his bad deed regarding Pike and Lyra. And it was enough to tell him that he was under the radar of numerous people.
Zoravec knew he had to proceed with his plan as he headed inside the house. Hecate left the door slightly ajar and Zoravec crept in and closed the door behind him. He wanted to call her but refrained from doing so since Hecate mentioned that Kate was waiting for him.
'Where is she? I have to talk to her before William comes to visit her.'
He cautiously walked through that small alley while being tiptoed. Zoravec did not intend to scare her because Kate had no clue that he had gotten inside the house. If by any chance she spotted him roaming like a thief she might yell. And that would be bad for him.
