Hugo’s POV
“Don’t you think it’s time for you and your brother to have a clean slate? I mean… I am not trying to omit the fact that he caused pain to you that made you do some unexplainable things; that made him worse, but… I just think even after all the chaos and all the fights either of you had put up, that did not imply that you guys do not deserve a peace of mind. You deserve it, Hugo. Even the most vile and obnoxious individual deserved to have it,” Eliana, in the middle of nowhere said.
I actually think of that thought lately, it messed with my head the past few days. I thought if I had the mess between Eliana and I cleaned, my mind will function smoothly right away. It’s not like I am not contented with what happened to Eliana and I, because dude, do not ever get me started because if I have time, I could have all the things that Eliana brought to my existence listed. More like, the t
Third Person’s POV “It is so stuffy in here, Eli. I am still wondering how you managed to live in this kind of environment for four years,” said Ross Deere a.k.a. Boss R, the leader of the powerful Deere pack, and the father of Eliana Deere who is the one and only heiress to the throne. “Dad, can you stop complaining for a second? You blabbering about your complaints like that would not make the situation in favor of you, yeah?” Eli responded, trying to sound annoyed but failing to do so. Today is their graduation day. Finally. After four long years of studying, working so hard in every exams and recitations, even cramming for the major tests, things had finally paid back. They had already came to this moment. They could finally get ahold of their long-desired diploma, face the real world, and apply the knowledge that they had learned in the workplace. Now, this is true for most students, or should we say graduates
Eliana's POV “Strawberry is still the superior flavor of like, anything, especially ice cream,” one of the two best friends that I have, Kat, says as she bites into her ice cream on a cone. She was obviously daring Lucas, who is sitting opposite of her right now, to speak against it. And the latter did not let her down, contradicting her claim as soon as possible. “You misspelled mint chocolate, because it obviously is the top tier flavor of all. And is that a cone?” he retorted before taking a spoonful of his dessert from a cup. Kat made a face, annoying the man more and expressing her distaste towards his choice of flavor. “Eliana, what do you think though?” she said afterwards, involving me in the silly conversation that they were having. “I think that you guys should just keep eating so we could finish and go to our next class. Fighting about flavors, really, and for
Hugo's POV“Oh, this place is bigger than I thought it would be,” I said to myself as I entered the main gate of the university I transferred into. As I let my eyes wander around while walking, I cannot help but get mesmerized to the beauty that this place serves. I mean, I am a man, and very much alive, but appreciating the beauty of such things does not make me feel less of a man, does not make me less of a human – I mean, temporary living here in a human world meant to live temporarily here as if I am one of them. Powerless. Yikes.As I continue walking into this big place, there were always tall trees that are erected from literally everywhere. I also noticed their field that has an enormous size. It would be heaven for a vampire like me to have that kind of training ground. Maybe I can also build myself a field like that in the near future, when the most awaiting event already came. I am confident with the result
Eliana's POVIf my feet could talk, it would already be screaming by now. I stayed up late last night trying to do some advanced reading, which I should have done a long time ago if only I was not too preoccupied. I am a vampire, yeah, and sleep is not the biggest deal for us. But when I decided earlier that I would grab some before going to school, I was unaware of the time, making me lost track of it completely. And whether it is a blessing or a curse, I have this case of always trying to arrive twenty minutes before the first class. I do not know but I just got used to it and it is just too late to stop that now. I am thinking of all of this as I speed walked my way towards the classroom. By the time I reached the door, Lucas was there waiting, as always, like a routine.“I wonder if you intentionally memorized my habit where I always arrive at least twenty minutes before the class so you could arrive earlier than me. That is
Chapter 04Hugo’s POVI was being awakened by the wild grumbling of my stomach as though someone’s throwing a fit there. Upon sitting on my bed, I smell something strange inside my room that shouldn’t be there in the first place. I sniff everywhere and realized that the clothes that I have been wearing yesterday all day and had a physical contact to every single human I’d bumped myself into are the clothes I’d been wearing as I am asleep. I literally can’t stand the smell of it in the morning with my stomach grumbling so I immediately unbuttoned every button that was tailored in my black button-down shirt along with my black pants.I hauled myself up and turned my head to the clock that was hanging just above my bed. It was still quite early to get myself ready for school so I walked directly towards the kitchen and rummaged for a pack of blood from the cabinet where I store the thi
Hugo’s POV“What even was that, Hugo? Starting a fight but could not finish it? Could not even throw a decent punch? What are you, a little girl?” My father’s words rang in my ears, like the howl of a wolf in the middle of a peacefully silent night.“B-but Father, it was his fault. And he was obviously bigger,” I responded, almost close to crying. I would probably cry, but not in front of him. Never in front of him.“Older, bigger, it does not matter! In this world, if you are weak, you lose. And if someone is a loser, then they are not my child. Are you my child, Hugo?” He said, ever so calmly, but with the same venomous tone that he always used with me whenever he asks me that question. Are you my son, Hugo? Are you a loser, Hugo? Are you giving up now, Hugo?Questions that have b
Eliana’s POV“Thanks, but you don’t really have to,” I told Hugo after he pulled a single beige colored chair for me to sit myself into. It’s a big puzzle for me why, of all people, Hugo seemed to grow an interest towards my existence although I can consider myself as the most not approachable looking and gregarious living thing in our class. We just clearly met two days ago but he’s already managed how to make a friends and how to get to know them well. He clearly knows what to do to make the people around him be aware of his existence. Unlike me, who’d been here for two years, but allow myself only to speak with two best people with that span of years. It’s like I’ve reached my limit with that. It's sucks, but nonetheless, I am truly grateful.Hugo smile and raise his hand in front of me, indication for me to wait for his reply. I can clearly hear the popping sounds of the lollipop he h
Eliana’s POVIt did not strike me as something that Lucas would do, but here we are now. At the university’s cafeteria, with me trying to dissolve the tension between Kat and Lucas, while the two just seemed to be getting more and more annoyed with each other. What really happened? Simple. A professor of ours assigned us a task which requires the work to be done by pair. Lucas being Lucas, went to me automatically, just like what would normally happen. Since Kat is obviously more on the extrovert side, she gets along with others easily and is friends with almost everyone in the room, so it is really not hard for her to get a partner. As for Lucas and I, it is quite the opposite. That is why during by-pair tasks like this, we automatically go to each other. But this time, as he was about to go to me, Hugo beats him to it. And Lucas’ knee-jerk reaction was to tell Hugo to go off.And as if the situation was not awkward enough
