It was as if my heart was breaking as I ran through the forest. It hurts. It hurts so much. I felt betrayed, betrayed by my father.
It was only two months when mommy died in a car accident but Dad already found a replacement.
I was just a child in his eyes so I had nothing to say and do.
I run into the forest, this is the black forest. Daddy doesn't want me to come here. It is dangerous in this area because many wild animals are scattered, especially at night. But here I am running, and I felt free.
Even now I just want to disobey my father. Because of the pain, I feel.
I can still hear the loud music from our mansion. Tonight’s my father’s engagement party. And because I don’t want to witness him happy with another woman, I went here.
It's tiring to pretend to be happy. I may be laughing but the truth is my heart is breaking. My lips can lie but my eyes can’t. My mom once told me that I have the most expressive eyes. That whatever my feelings are reflected by my eyes. I smiled bitterly. I remember her again.
I stopped running when I heard a crack.
"Is someone there?" I nervously asked anyone who was there. It was as if my heart wanted to go out as the sound got closer and closer.
But I breathed a sigh of relief to see just one more rabbit. Rabbits are cute and cute are harmless. Right?
I immediately approached it and loaded it. But all of a sudden it ran.
I just gasped. "I'm so bad at this." None of my complaints. I go for a walk again in case I see it again.
The forest is bright because of the moon. When I look at it, it is so beautiful. It is as if when you stare it attracts you. He seems to be taking and healing the pain I feel now.
I just keep walking. Moments later I suddenly laughed. I'm going crazy. "No one else does it but me." maybe someone who sees me will say I'm crazy. But no one dares to enter this forest well, except me.
I already enjoy seeing a dog. “Oh. I love dogs! ” I said and approached it. He is a very unusual dog. Could it be that it’s a wolf? let’s just hope it’s not.
I was going to take him when he suddenly got angry and moaned and that’s where my eyes got bigger. A few moments later he suddenly chased me.
“Mommy !!” I shouted in the middle of the forest. I'm crying.
I was still stumbling, my heels I do not know where I left. I can only think of one thing that will save this dog! And one thing is for sure. My foot hurts!I could no longer bear the fear and just cried. "I don't love dogs anymore!" I said as I wiped away my tears.
“Tss. What a crybaby. ” I heard a man say. Assuming he was a ghost I suddenly shouted and ran.
Now I am running because of two reasons, first the dog and then the man. Dad’s right, this is place is dangerous!
"Will you calm down and stop running child?" I'm already thirteen crazy! I don't know but I suddenly followed him.
"The dog is coming." I panicked. "It's just a dog." Why the hell am I talking to this man again?
He suddenly looked at the dog and approached it. Isn't he scared? And most of all, why did he get there so fast?
“What are you?” I whispered but he suddenly turned to me and answered. "I'm a Vampire."
His eyes became red. And there is only one thing I want to do is run, again. But before I could run he’s already in front of me. My heart is pounding. I was scared of him. He is scary.
“Your heart is beating so fast. Are you nervous? ” I shook in response. I do not know but I suddenly weakened and fell.
"I'm sorry but you won't remember what happened tonight. Let our path cross again in the future, Amelia Morgan. ”
And after that night, Amelia only remember the moment he went to the forest but not when she met a stranger. But she knows, she knows that something’s off.
Couples are dancing, some people are drinking champagne and some of them are just talking. They seemed to be enjoying their nights. But for me? I was just here at the table looking at the champagne glass. I wonder if I will escape or will I escape here? I mean I hate this kind of event. It’s my father and his mistress’ wedding anniversary. Well, she is not hooked because they are married. But I chose to call her that. She is nothing but a slut to my eyes. She didn’t just ruin my family, she also ruined my trust in my father.Since that night, daddy and I have not talked. I don’t want to talk to him no matter what he does. I entered high school and then graduated without talking to him. That continued until I went to college. And now that I’m already working, there is still no progress. How many years ago? Ten? Twelve? Fifteen? I do not know and I do not care. I only give him a nod. I also rarely let him hear my voice. When I was in
I turned to Nicolas. “Hi! Let's go? Sorry, Shan can’t go so it’ll only be the two of us. ” He nodded and pocketed his hands. He’s hot. I give you that. Despite his scary aura. I wonder if she’s got a girlfriend? If he doesn’t, can I apply?When he turned to me, I turned to the other side, we can’t risk the possibility that he’ll be thinking that I was looking at him! He suddenly laughed. "You're cute." He said and my heart suddenly beat but it also immediately disappeared. I smiled awkwardly at him."What do you want to eat?" I asked him even though I feel awkward. Can I just leave him here? "You." He whispered but I did not hear it. "I'm sorry but what is it?" he suddenly coughed and answered. "Whatever." I was confused by what he said. "Ahm… there is nothing on the menu of my favorite restaurant that’s called whatever." I kidded. But he didn't seem to like the joke so I just changed the subject. He&rs
"What is it?" I asked my father as I folded my arms in front of him. I’m already twenty-five and yet here I am acting like a fucking teenager. I was wondering if when will be the time that I’ll be mature. First of all, I don’t want to talk to him and second, it’s still the same."I want you to come home early, if you can make it at six pm then that’s better." I rolled my eyes at him. Oh, so he’s doing his job as a father now? Now that I am old. "And why would I do that?" I asked him, feeling disgusted. I’m a brat and hell I’m not even sorry.“That's all you would say if you just texted or send me a message since technology is there. So we need to use that right? ” I said sarcastically to him. This bond of ours never getting better."Many have been victims of animal attacks." But he just didn't seem to hear my complaints. I am my father's daughter, and well we have the same temperament. I was surprised b
Nicolas.I was just here outside Amelia's clinic, watching her. Creepy, I know but I want to make sure she is safe because we still need her.I know she went to the comfort room but why does she seem to spend so much time there. What is that woman doing there? tsk. I couldn't help but go inside using the window.I opened the door with force and I was shocked to find her lying there, unconscious. I was immediately nervous and tapped her, but she did not wake up. "Fuck." I was just disappointed. I was about to lift her when I heard a car approaching so I turned her around and left using the window.Here I am in the woods, watching Cris lift Amelia. Yup, I know their names even before I met them."See you when I see you, Amelia Morgan." ‘That’s all I said and went home, it was hard for me to catch up with the sun.AmeliaI woke up with a headache. I also can not see anything. Geez, let’s just h
Because I was so curious about who the hell is Nicolas Forbes, I went to their town and to find out that there’s no such person as him. What I met a ghost? A ghost saved me from dying? This is just ridiculous! I mean how is it possible that no Nicolas Forbes lives there? And what’s the purpose of lying? It’s not like I’m going to stalk him now and then.I was so disappointed. I was hoping that I could meet him here. And yeah, I even dressed up. Well, it’s all normal, dressing upright? Geez, there’s no use.I decided to stop by an ice cream store but I remembered Nicolas again so I decided to go with him. But ice cream is tempting so I decided to eat.I was licking the ice cream, savoring its tastiness. Damn, I picked the right flavor. I stopped what I’m doing when I heard someone beside me talked. “Hey, I heard you’re looking for Nico?” I raise my brows at him. And who the hell is this creature? He may
As I was walking I can feel a strong wind touch my cheek. It’s not just a wind I guess? Because I feel like someone just passed in front of me. But because it’s too fast I rarely see it.“Animal huh?” I asked ‘it’ whoever is missing with me. It’s just that I’ve got a feeling that it’s ‘it’. A moment later it already showed in front of me. It’s a man!“W-what you’re n-not an a-animal.” I stuttered.He laughs like a devil and then his eyes became red. Why does that scene so fucking familiar? Instead of running, I stared at him and feel the weight of his deadly stares. “You’re not animal, but observing the girl’s that you’ve killed you’re worst than an animal.” I spat angrily at him but he just stared at me smirking. I tell you, this creature whatever he is, he is so creepy.He advances towards me I stepped back. “You have a lot
A very hard slap welcomed me the moment I set foot on our house. It’s as if dad was so ready to do it. I remained my stoic face while my father is slapping me like crazy. “You insolent brat! How dare you defy my orders!”“What the fuck? I’m old enough to handle myself!” I fired back at him and then he looked angry than before. He was about to pull my hair when Agnes interfere. “Joseph stop it! You&r
Chapter 8: LeftIf zombies exist then I’m probably one of them. Blank mind and walking like a crazy dude, that’s me right now. I’m now here somewhere in our city walking, not minding the people around me. It’s not because I don’t give a damn about them, it’s because my brain can’t handle some shits anymore.I didn’t know that my life could be this hard, this chaotic. My mom used to tell me about fairy tales how it seems to be easy because we aren’t them. And now that I’m on their shoes, I can really say that life is so hard, hard than finding a boyfriend.“Hey! Watch where you’re going!” an angry man shouted and pushed me to the ground. I guessed I bumped into him. I don’t know. I couldn’t care less. I stand up and apologized to the man. “I’m sorry.” I said with no emotion and continued walking.The truth is I don’t know where I’m
Chapter 19: Disagree“What the hell is that witch doing here?”“Tone down your voice, she might wake up.”“Have you gone nuts Nicolas? That’s the fucking queen of the witches! And then hell you’re dating her?!”I woke up because of the noise. It seems like someone is in the house. It’s a girl I supposed. I was awake but didn’t open my eyes. I want to know more.“Please tell me you’re just using her!” the girl told him.I was taken aback about what she said. What does she mean by that? That Nic is just using me? For what?I didn’t hear any reply from Nic. Instead it feels like the girl was drag outside by Nicolas.I opened my eyes. We’re just starting and yet there are so many issues already. First, who’s that girl? And second, what does she mean by Nic’s using me?I couldn’t help but doubt Nicolas’ love for me.His parent
Chapter 18: TreatWe are now on his kitchen both seated at their dining table because I am treating his wounds.“Ouch!” he winced the moment the medicine has touched his skin. I rolled my eyes at him.“You’re a vampire this kind of pain is nothing.”“This is different, my love.” I suddenly stop treating his wounds because of the endearment he just called me.“W-what… did you just called me?” I ask him obviously stuttering because my heart is beating erratically.His forehead creased. “My love? Why? Does it make you uncomfortable?” I shook my head.“Nope, it’s just that it feels so foreign. It’s been a long time since someone called me that.”His face became soft. “Really?”I laughed. “Really. Because they are all flings and sometimes no strings attach.” I shrugged the moment I finish my sentence.His face became da
Chapter 17I woke up from the sound of my ringing phone. Without glancing who was the caller I answered it.“Hello?” my voice a bit hoarse.“Amelia, can you go to the mansion right now?”“I’m sorry but who’s this?”I am still yawning. My mind is still somewhere else. But the caller really have the guts to call me at 2 am.“It’s Greta.”“Oh yeah hi! What’s up?”“Can you go to Nicolas tonight? He really needs your help.” She sounded so worried so I immediately said ok and went to the garage and get my car.The cold breeze of wind enveloped in my body the moment I stepped outside my car.I looked up to the grand Victorian mansion in front of me. I sighed. I am not supposed to be here. If Natalia will know I’m doomed. But hearing Greta’s voice makes me worry so much about Nic.“What’s happening?” I ask her th
Chapter 16As the waves crashes and laps, the nervousness crept into my system. I am now embracing the real me – a witch. A woman who can do something to change our world. To bring peace and harmony to the world that I am living once and for all.Vampires and witches are enemies yesterday, now and even tomorrow. The burning rage if one sees the other is always there. It was like we were made to despise each other. To despise our kind. But now that I’ve think about it, we are just the same. We can’t tell people what we really are because that might put us to danger.And I wanted peace, not by killing them but making them our allies. Vampires deserve to live in this world. They are judge because they fed on blood. But it’s also our fault because we had made what they are right now – monsters.And to think that Nicolas is one of them it breaks my heart. Every witch that is born is destined to kill a vampire. It’s who we are. But h
Amelia’s POVI went home to get some clothes because I didn’t bring any. Dad is still unconscious, the doctor said that he will wake up any time soon and I don’t know if it’s better if I’ll be there or won’t.Wandering in the house alone, I can really tell the difference of the aura here and Nicolas’. He’s house just gave me security that no one can harm me there. Maybe because he was there? I wonder what’s he’s reaction the moment he reads my note. Will he go berserk, but I doubt. Who cares about me anyway?Even my own father thinks that I’m a trash. So what more to Nicolas whom I just met lately?I went to the kitchen and I can sense that something’s burning. It smells like a plastic. Out of panic, I put some clothes above it but I just made it worse!I stared at the fire and it feels like it’s calling me. Telling me to touch it and so I did.And the moment I touched it, the
Chapter 14Amelia’s POV“Where’s your brother?” I ask Nic when we were already in the dining area but I can’t still feel his brother’s presence.“He went home last night.”“Home?”“Yea he has his own house.” Wow they’re really rich.“He won’t come back?”“He will, when he miss annoying me.”“You’re cute.”“Tsk.”I laugh at his reaction.“I think I’m going to go home already.”“What?!”“I’m going home I think Dad’s cooled down I mean it’s been a week and I don’t want to bother you anymore.”“Really?” is his only reply. He’s not okay with me leaving?I tried to ignore him first and because I wasn’t able to get a book from the library maybe they exist in the internet right? Somewhere that
Chapter 13: BrothersGreta didn’t push me to believe the rubbish she’s been telling me. She just smirked at me and left the room. My goodness that old woman is really a creep.Every time she’s near I shiver. But I shouldn’t think about her. Because Nicolas here, have a brother and he didn’t tell me. His brother is as handsome as he is.I went downstairs because I feel fine. I can hear the two talking. Greta’s not around maybe she went home. I walk towards the kitchen because I guess they’re there. But I was shocked to see them fighting!Lance started to throw Nic while Nic is trying to choke Lance.“What the hell is going on?!”My shriek caught their attention. They just wipe off the blood on their mouth and they laugh together. Okay, what was that?“Sorry, we weren’t able to see each other for years so that’s a way of greeting each other.”Nic explained when he noti
Chapter 12: DoubtsNicolas’ POVI’ve got no choice but to be here in this freaking amusement park. Amelia really nailed it on dragging me here. I’m supposed to decline her but I just can’t because I can feel her sadness, her longing for someone – her mother. Her mother that I loathe and the witch who cursed our family and killed my parents.I’m not supposed to be with her, because it’s a sin for us. But I need her, we needed her for us to be normal again. She’s a descendant of the witch that cursed us and she is the only one that can reverse the curse. I just have to lure her into my trap and then I can be free.“Let’s go?”I was shocked when she said. “That’s it?”“Yeah, there’s no point on being here mom’s gone already.”Pain crossed her eyes and in that moment I pity her. I realized that we’re the same we don’t have parents any
It’s already dark outside when I finish the movie. Yes, I’m watching again. There’s nothing I could do in this house it’s too big and it’s too boring. This house is lifeless.I wish Shan’s here with me so I can talk to someone other than Nicolas. It’s just I feel like we’re so different. Like he’s too far away and I can’t reach him.I saw him using his vamp speed again. Hope everyone has that kind of ability.“You coming?”“Where are we going?” I lazily asked. I don’t feel like moving my ass right now.Because if I did, I might go home and I don’t want that. I don’t want to face my dad’s wrath, not now. I’m just so sick with my family. It’s so fucking toxic.“Hey I said to the downtown. Are you even listening?” oh right. I spaced out. Afraid to be left alone in the house I nodded and change my clothes.I’m just t
