Write down. Crumple my paper. Search for articles. Aggressively tap the delete button. Repeat.Argh! This doesn't make any sense!What else could I search for regarding vampires? All these articles are not that accurate or have been published more than ten years ago– they're not acceptable anymore to be a reference.My fingers were typing randomly while I was thinking about what else I could do to finish this fucking research paper. I have no idea who has any ideas about vampires that I could ask.Fudge!Why is this so hard?!My stomach also started to get angry. I pouted while I was tidying up my table before getting my food downstairs. This is the first time I got hungry while doing school activities. This paper definitely makes me stressed.While descending, muffled voices are slowly being heard from where I am walking. As my feet stepped on the last step, Mom's voice became clear."This is the fifth time, yet we still can't catch them," she sighed and brushed her hand through her
While I'm fixing chapter 2 of my research report, Vico asks curiously, "What have you searched so far?"He cocked his head to look at my paper. I had to push his head away because it was nearly covering my laptop with his head."Researching things about them doesn't actually require much of my time or effort.""Why?""My parents, it turns out, were also mildly preoccupied with vampires; they provided examples that were just like those in articles," I shrugged.My fingers stopped typing when Vico gently moved my laptop's monitor down, and my eyes started glaring at him. He already has a habit of interfering while someone is working on something essential."Your parents?" he clarified, I nodded. "So, Venice wasn't wrong at all?"I gave him a sour expression. How could he enter our home illegally only to utter those absurd comments? He rocked himself while glancing away from my glares and curled his lips into a tiny line.Our maid handed us two plates of lasagna and two glasses of juice,
Vico nags, pointing at the area beneath my eyes, "You shouldn't load yourself for too much, look how big your eyebags are."We have examinations coming up, Mr. Vico. Did you even study?" I smacked his hand and rolled my eyes at him."No need. I can ace the examinations with or without reviewing," he smugly said.I laughed and said, "Huh, good luck, then," before turning away from him.He was so conceited, ugh! I honestly don't know how or why I became his friend. For me, he was only a headache.Vico pursued me and kept making fun of me till we came to our floor's corridor. As I enjoy making fun of him, a gaggle of girls suddenly block our path.As soon as I recognized their faces, my brows wrinkled. They were the girls who were ready to offer Vico a gift, but Venice told them something that caused the girl in the middle to stab me in the face.Vico kindly urged them to relocate, "Ah, pardon me. We're going to be late for our lesson. Can you move?" yet they made not a single move.I co
"Her blood dropped all of a sudden and that caused her to lose consciousness. It might be because of pressure or fear, other than that, your daughter is fine. She just needs some days to gain her energy back.""How about her friend? His name is Vico, the one who got hit badly. How was he?""Fortunately, their school medic ran him here immediately, so we could medicate him on time. If he wasn't, he could be placed in ICU now. By the way, do you know where his parents were? We can't contact the number of his guardian indicated on his I.D.""We also don't know anything about his family. He was our daughter's long-time friend, but we never heard him talking about his parents.""How about your daughter? She also doesn't have any idea about her friend's family?""It was a personal matter that can't be shared with anyone," I couldn't help but to chime in.They all looked at me with shock in their faces. Mom instantly hugged me tightly. I could hear her sniff and felt my uniform suddenly wet.
Their eyes were digging deep in my soul while we were walking past the gate of our university. The thing I did that day was still a mystery for me.My chest felt so tightened when my schoolmates pushed me towards the spotlight I never wished. They put me on an unfamiliar stage, even our eyes never met, their stares were enough to make me sweat cold. Gosh, why are their eyes so heavy?"Luna? You're shaking, are you okay?" Worry is visible in Vico's voice. He held my hand and squeezed it to help me to calm down."Their stares were so heavy." He barely heard my voice."I'm here."Until we entered our room, those stares never left me alone. Instead of torturing myself by thinking about what I'd done that day, I buried my face in my bag. That thing has been happening for almost a week now, and we just came back from hospital.I don't understand why they are still staring at me like that. Did I do something wrong aside from what I did a week ago?THIRD PERSON'S POVVenice almost broke her d
"What happened on your kingdom, Sanguis? Why did they do such horrible things?" Mila blurted.The whole warehouse enveloped in silence. No one dares to speak nonsense things, Mila was never been this mad about the mission. She was expecting that Oscuridad was their only enemy. How come that Luna kingdom pushed themselves in this situation?Sanguis moistened his lips, "I'm also clueless as you are. However, my two sisters were pretty sure involved here.""We're really shocked when we saw the arrow marks on victim's skin. We never expect that Luna kingdom would do that," Honey added.Estrella leaned her head on Sanguis' shoulder and held his hand to comfort him. She knows that this was so hard for her husband. He was stuck in between of two huge rocks.Victoria's wristwatch suddenly beeped. It was an alarm for the party that will be held in their world. That party was called Red Moon's Blast. All the vampires will gather together to catch up and a celebratory for new recruits."Should w
The girl on the left instantly bowed her head, as well as the other girl on the right. The guy in the middle remained in his position, staring at me. His brows furrowed when the girl on the left reached his head and forced him to bow his head to me.I stepped backwards while waiting for their next move. Why do they keep on bowing their heads at me? Am I someone who is supposed to be respected?"Welcome, Princess Luna." The girl on the left beamed when they raised their heads.My eyes widened while pointing to myself, "Me? Did you call me 'Princess'?""You're the daughter of Princess Estrella and Prince Sanguis, aren't you?" The girl on the right asked. When I didn't answer her, she pointed at my neck. "Only royalties have glowing marks on their necks during Red Moon's Blast like yours.""Huh?"I got my phone and used it as a mirror. The hair in my nape stood up when there was really a mark on my neck and it was glowing red. Since when do I have this kind of mark?"By the way," the gir
Random muffled voices registered in my ears. My eyelids were still heavy, but I forced them to open. The pain slowly crawling in my whole body as I was trying to lift it up towards the headboard.My eyes landed on my right when someone moved. A smile formed in my lips when I saw how cute Vico was while sleeping. He looked so tired and haven't slept the whole night."Oh, you're awake." An unfamiliar voice said from my right.I turned my head to her and smiled when it was a nurse, "I just woke up.""How are you? Do you still feel some pain in your body?" she checked-up while fixing my IV."A bit."She smiled and write down something. She peeked at Vico that was still sleeping near my thighs.The nurse quietly giggled, "You're so lucky with your boyfriend. He almost punch one of the nurses here because he thought no one cared about you when he run you here. ""He did what?!" My eyes widened. I was shocked that he assumed that Vico was my boyfriend, but what made me more shocked was the t
' Three corpse had found behind the Areyan Food Corporation last March 20. Their organs had already visible, they looked like being attacked with a wild animal... '' Yesterday, March 21, two high school students found more than five dead bodies at the roadside while walking going to school... ''... Even the authorities and Government can't explain what really happened on continuous murder cases since the night when red moon appeared–'Sanguis tightly closed his eyes and leaned at the sofa. Almost all the news were about numerous dead bodies had found after the Red Moon's Blast."They started," Mila announced in the midst of the silence in the whole room. None of them reacted on what she said, all their minds were flying because of the news.Mila sighed and stood up in front of them, "Look, we can't control the things now. However, we have a big chance now to catch the culprit. They're recklessly killing mortals now.""But, how?" Honey chimed in. "We need to be more careful on our ac
LUNA'S POVThe scent of fresh baked bread flooded on my nose as my feet stepped on the stairs. That kind of smell was not normal in our house, knowing that I'm the only one who enjoys bread in this house.All the maids were standing on both ways after the staircase. They were smiling widely at me while the puck between my brows got deeper.What the hell is happening? The sun just rose up for them to be this weird.My jaw dropped when the realization that we had more maids than I thought hit me. When you measure the end of the staircase to the door of the dining area, it will be more than ten feet long.Wow. Our house has never been this huge for me until now.The smell of bread got stronger when the doorway of the dining area was just a foot apart from me. Our very first maid, who also stood like my parents, approached me holding a paper bag."Ma'am Luna," she greeted. The corners of her eyes suddenly became red, her lips were trembling."Why? What happened, Nanny Rose?" The thought th
Everyone in Sangre Kingdom was mourning the loss of King Joseah. Many bawl their eyes out, some silently sobbing, and others were just staring blankly at King Joseah's tribute.As the Red Moon's Blast ended, Queen Enid and King Javier were the ones who moved to prepare King Joseah's wake. Following their tradition, they closed the Kingdom and only the residents of the Kingdom could come to his wake. After three nights, they opened it to the public, and many vampires from other Kingdom thronged.Sanguis decided to take a rest after greeting and welcoming the guests for so long. He found his wife, sitting and staring outside the window where the moon could be seen. He sat beside her, Estrella sighed deeply."Almost four days," she started. Estrella's eyes couldn't take off from the shining crescent moon. "It was almost four days since we left the other world. I'm worried about Luna," she stated in a low voice, almost a whisper.Sanguis pulled her closer and hugged her tightly, "We can go
