"MOTHER DEAR, please take care of yourself, okay?" Maylene said with a teary eyed while looking at Amalia. "But, are you really sure that you wouldn't want me to come with you?"
Amalia shook her head on Maylene. They are now at the bus terminal and Amalia is now bidding her goodbye but Maylene is holding the hem of her shirt like a kid. They are getting the attention of some people in the terminal already because Maylene would even stomped her feet on the ground."Maylene, I told you, I would still go back. And don't worry, once I came back, you'll be with my daughter, Amara and that's a promise, hmm?" she said with her most gentle voice, hoping that it would make Maylene calm."P-Promise, Mother Dear?" Maylene's voice is trembling. "I miss Amara so much! But, make sure you go back here, huh? You know that you're the only family I got after..." She wasn't able to continue what she's saying and Amalia understand why.Amalia caressed her cheek and wiped her tears.SYLVANN STAVROS. That's the name of the man that Amalia is going to marry. She's having goosebumps just by thinking about his name. It's making her scared without any reasons at all."Yes, there are really rebels in Riverious! I know someone living there and she said something about it!""Really? How did that happen-""And some said that those rebels are the one who caused the massive killings there! This case is so damn creepy and scary as hell!""Yes, it is! I hope that everyone is safe there.""Uh-huh. You know there's also a family there who has been killed. And...""What is it?""I don't think those rebels can do that.""Really? Then who? Who do you think are the masterminds in this kind of killings?""I saw the picture of those victims. They have all the same wounds which is the holes on their neck and you know what? I'm thinking that it's really possible that... vampires did it." Another gasped escape from the one she's talki
"ONE OF OUR warehouse where we stuck the best quality of wines got burned. And unfortunately, my father was there and became one of the ashes.." he said while crying.Amalia bit her lower lip. She's suppressing herself to not cry in front of him. She just tightened her hug around him to lessen his pain. But who is she kidding here? His pain wouldn't go away that easily. That's why she'll just comfort him like this and make him feel that she's just here. She's patting his shoulder lightly while he's sobbing.But she remembered her conversation with Sylvann. She already agreed but what did he do? He still involved Alvino and his family here. She really felt bad right now because she's the main root of the whole problem."Everything would be fine," she said to her while still patting her shoulder lightly. "Please, stop crying now. I'm also hurting just by seeing you like this.""I'm hoping for that but... it would be really hard knowing that our business is now in n
"STOP CRYING now, my love. You'll get through this, I know you're strong," Alvino tried to make Amalia calm as she won't even stop crying.The sun is about to set but Amalia's cry is non-stop while they are in front of her family's grave. The cold breeze of the wind seems cooperating with the pain she's feeling right now like it was hugging and comforting her.She sobbed thinking that she's all alone now. All her family is gone. Even Arman's wife is also missing and just disappear after knowing about her brother and daughter's death. It was her choice to just go away and leave to start anew without Arman and Jillian.Amalia remembered what her father told her during his last breath. He wants her to escape. That will be hard since the Stavros are really back now. Their moves needs to be precise and calculated because they might caught them that's why she's having a second thought of asking help to Hector.Hector's wife is already dead and the only family that he g
THE DAYS really passed by like a blur and the day of the visitation of the king is almost approaching that's why Amalia couldn't help but to feel nervous.She sighed before leaning at the cold wall of the bathroom. She felt week and her hands are cold. Her face is also pale as paper."My love?"She jolted a bit when she heard Alvino's voice outside the bathroom. She immediately fixed herself and comb her hair using her own fingers. She washed her face afterwards and wiped it using a clean towel.When she's done, she opened the door slowly and was welcomed by Alvino who seems frustrated. He would pull his own hair like he's also feeling nervous and tense."H-How was it? What's the result?" He asked when he saw her before he held her arms in a gentle manner. "Are you okay? You look really pale right now, my love. You need to get check-""I... I'm fine, Alvino and..." She's having a hard time to complete what she's saying because her lips are trembli
"WHY YOU didn't tell me that someone almost killed you, huh?!" Amalia shouted at Alvino while they are facing each other inside the room. Her both hands are on her waist as she glare at Alvino who's looking down like a scared cat.She pouted and fought the urge to smile and looked at him. He really looked adorable right now that she just wanted to forget that she's mad and kissed him non-stop instead. Maybe this is just an effect of being a pregnant woman. Her mood can shift instantly. She was just mad awhile ago!"I'm sorry, my love. I wanted to say it to you but I learned about your contion... You being pregnant. I don't want you to worry knowing that you're carrying our child," he explained with his most gentle tone.She bit her lower lip to avoid her emotion to took over. But she can't really bear seeing him this sad right now so she immediately went to him and hugged him tight."I understand. But next time, be careful, okay? You know that I'm all alone
AMALIA WAS welcomed by an unfamiliar surrounding. The place was made by wood. There's a tiny hole at the side that made the light entered a bit. She jolted on the bed where she was lying when the door opened. It created a sound that creeps her out.The lamp on the table serve as the light of the whole place. There's a small butterfly lingering around it that made her dizzy because of its shadow. It's night time already.But.. where is she?She tried to rose up from the bed but her face crumpled when her body ache especially her femininity. And something hits her mind. Her child. What happend to her unborn child?! And where is Alvino? What happened to him as well?She sobbed and clutch her chest as it ache at that thought. She even pulled her own hair hysterically. How did she even get here? And who took her here in this place?!There are so many questions that's running in her mind but all she could do is to cry and tremble in fear."Amalia!" She
"AMALIA, YOU'RE strong. But don't use your ability in bad things. Don't be succumbed by your own anger."Amalia stopped walking on what she heard. Who is that?But why does it sounds familiar? The hairs on her arm rose."Mama?" she whispered.Is that even possible? Why does she's hearing her mother's voice? Is that real? Or it's just a product of her own imagination? But she realized that she's now in the mountain of Destora, the mountain that is full of mystery.So, it's really possible.She kept walking because maybe, something is playing in her mind. She will still continue what she's planning."Look who's here. My father's mistress. Great!"Amalia automatically glanced at the direction where the voice came from. She saw the man who's behind the reason why she's hurting right now. He's sitting on a big root with a smirk on his lips like he was mocking her.She glared at him. "Helios, you accused me about something I
EVERYTHING went too fast. Everything was a blur to her and she can't still believe that it really happened. It's like a bad dream that she badly want to get rid of. She even want to wished to all the saints that she knew to make everything unreal. She wanted to wake up badly in this nightmare!But it wasn't just a dream. It was all real.Helios hurt her...Amara found herself running away from the house. She's barefoot that's why she could really feel the sharp stones piercing the skin on her foot. Her pace was fast but she knows to herself that it wasn't enough. Even her heart is beating so fast.Any seconds from now, she will be doom.She suddenly heard a thunderous laugh that made her felt the goosebumps. Her tears are continuously streaming down her face that made her sight blurry. She has also scratches on her cheek because she got hit at the edge of the piano awhile ago."You won't get away from me, woman! Run while you s
"CONGRATULATIONS, Mr and Mrs. Smith!"The hotel was filled with around of applause from the people where the weddeing reception held. Everyone was happy while looking at yhe newly wed couple as the photographer took them a picture.She sighed while staring at the lovely couple. Yes, she's happy for Maylene because she just git married to William but her system is screaming for someone's presence like she missed... him.It's been two months since he left her with that damn letter. Her eyes would water everytime she remember him but she's the only one to be blamed here since she pushed him away.This is what she want... right?But why does it's so damn painful?Because of mix emotioms, she eat every food she see to ease her frustration. Her plate was full with food and not even sure if she could finish it all. She didn't mind some people looking at her direction and just go at the corner and sat comfortably in one of the chairs the
HELIOS chuckled dryly. Damn, she just left him like that and chose that man instead of him. He looked like a child righg who was left by his own mother. But what now...It's full moon tonight and that means it will be dangerous for her to go out. He knew because he's also like that. He's becoming more sensitive and more stronger whenever the the moon is full. And Amara is maybe also like that.He sighed in frustration. Fuck, the moon will come out later!He was forced to used his vampire ability. He closed his eyes and when he opened it, he knew that his eyes now turned into color red. Fuck, he doesn't mind if many people will see him in a state like this!He used his sense of smell and followed Amara' s familiar scent. It was easy for him since the moon will come out any moment fr now so his vampire ability is more enhance than usual. And after reaching the restaurant where the man took Amara, his jaw clenced.He wa
AMARA CURSED several times in her head when she felt her phone at the back of her pillow vibrated. Her phone was flooded with Doc. Almodavar's messages. She got bored so she opened it since it has been off for days.Doc. Almodavar:Hey. Are you free today? Maybe we can hang out later.She saved the doctor's number but didn't type a reply. But she remembered Helios who didn't show his self for days. It made her decide to just accept the doctor's invitation!And he even hit the roof of her house with a stone that made her pissed even more!She chosed to reply on Doc. Almodavar's message. Alright, she'll give him a chance. If everything will turned out nice, then... maybe she could give it a try? After all, she has all the right to be happy again and maybe she'll found it with the doctor. The pain she had been through is really a no joke so.. let's see.Amara:Sure. What time and where?Seconds la
"SHIT, we need to make love in order to remove the damn poison! Fuck, there, I said it! I know you won't agree, but- shit!"He knew it. Amara would be really shock and here she is right now, she wasn't able to contstruct the proper words to say. But that's the only way to remove the poison in her body."You're kidding, right? Why the hell do we need to do that 'thing'?!" she shouted. He almost jumped in surprise."I know, I know but it was said by Ursula that we should do i-it to successfully remove the poison," he explained. "Or... do you want to be like me? A blood sucker that can't sometimes control his cravings-""Of course, I don't want that to happen to me! I'd rather die than ending up like you, a monster!" She added, still shouting.Helios tried so hard to calm. It was really not pleasing to hear Amara calling him a monster but he need to endure it since it was all his fault.He sighed to calm down. "That's why we need to do it. Th
"CAN WE not meet again after you get rid of the poison in my body? Let's just mind our own businesses in life. Let's stop seeing each other, shall we?"He didn't respond.He's just looking at him blankly.He can't find the right words to say. He blinked twice before speaking. He still can't believe what he's saying."A-Amara..." he called her name."Honestly, even if I told myself countless times that I will be fine, that I can accept everything now, I still remember every bit of pain." She paused then smiled, a sad one. And fuck himself for being the reason why she is hurting right now. "It was so damn hard to move on especially when I'm seeing you."And then she cried.It was painful. It was so fucking painful to see the woman she dearly love cry like this because of everything he have done. He was eager to wipe those fucking tears but he stopped himself. He doesn't have the right to touch the woman he hurt. He fucking messed up big
IT WAS A big mystery for Helios thinking about how Amara was able to do that. She was so damn fast that he wasn't even able to notoce it. She was gripping his neck tightly and anger is evident on her eyes. Some veins were able to appeared on the skin of her neck but it immediately disappeared.The veins were almost the same like his whenever he turned into a vampire.Helios sighed for the ninth time. He's affected by what happened but he remembeed what Ursula said. Is that the poison?"Shit!" he cursed at that thought.The driver looked at him. They are both going home now and it was really a good thing that they saw a jeep at the highway after they left the nipa hut. Amara was so eager to go back even if it's not a good idea for him. He's worried about her.He acted like nothing happened, like she didn't choke him to death earlier. He knows that Amara is a bit scared but didn't dare to say anything to him. They both remained silent inside the je
"SO, what's the news about her?" Helios asked his brother. As usual, he's here in his office again and here he is, disturbing him just to get some information about Amara."According to my trusted men, your Amara Louise is currently staying at her house right now. You said that she's a writer and I've searched some of her works. I must say that she's really good and had a book signing recently-""Cut that crap. What I'm only asking is where the hell is she right now?" He almost lost his patience as he stood up from the black leather sofa.Helion chuckled and shake his head. "Damn, pussy whipped, eh?" he teased."Whatever," Helios said and rolled his eyes. This is one of those things he missed. Their unending teasing moment and Helios would just gave up in the end.But now is different. He gave up from his teasing because he knew what he said was true. He's damn pussy whipped!Helion grabbed his phone from the side of his laptop. And yes, h
SHE gasped for air and clutched her chest using her trembling hands. Her heart is thumping fast and it's really good thing that it was only a dream.In her dreams, she saw the man standing on her door.She's scared. So scared that she just hugged her knees and cried silently.All her nightmares rush in her mind. She thought she's already fine and won't be bothered by those dreams again.But she's wrong. It all came back.She stared at the ceiling of her room then blinked just to prevent the tears from falling. In her dreams, she was just typing on her laptop for her upcoming story when she felt like someone is looking at her in the windows but when she took the courage to see it, no one is there. And then she heard a knock. When she opened the door, her whole system was automatically covered by fear.She's so scared!With her trembling body, she forced herself to get up. Her stomach is crumbling in hunger already. It's strange.
"MA'AM? Ma'am, wake up!"A light slap on her cheek was the one who woken her up. It was bright at first but she tried to adjust her sight. She saw the familiar clock hang on the wall. It's already four in the afternoon.Shit! She fainted again! She thought."Who are you?" She asked the not so familiar man in front of her.The guys has tanned skin and a bit skinny. His baggy clothes is an... eyesore for Amara. It seems like his clothes too big for him to wear. His eyes are a bit wide and his nose is kinda flat. He has a thick lips. He's kneeling on the floor while looking at Amara who is lying on their old sofa.Amara felt scared all of a sudden. She instinctively covered her chest using her arms like she's protecting it."M-Ma'am, what you're thinking is wrong! I'm not like that!" he said as he shook his head."Then, who are you? How did you get inside my house, huh?!""My name is Bart and I work as a delivery boy. You're Ms. Ama
