Chapter 23
“Why, Brother, is there still pain with you?” I turned to her, and acted like I was listening to what she was saying.
“Hmm, n-nothing—”
“Do you want me to get you clothes so you can get dressed up? Your---c-clothes are full of blood.” Tonette averted her eyes from me after she said those words. It was a long time before I understood what she was saying.
I immediately rummaged through my clothes, and checked to see if what the girl was saying was true. And she’s not even lying because my clothes looked like it was intentionally painted red. My white t-shirt last night has now turned dark red. And my clothes are stiff.
I’m worried about Tonette, because she already knew the real change in myself. I know that I want her to be conscious that I am like this. But not in that way, because that was the first time I tasted blood---and I even tasted human blood.
“Aren’t you afraid of me?” My eyes are not on her, becau
Chapter 24I faced Tonette and knelt in front of her, and then, touched her two shoulders. I stared into her eyes carefully. I need to know something from what she said when we talked about the woman who looks like Dralia.“Hmm, Tonette---” my opening speech.“Hmm? Yes?” She said in response.“I’m just going to ask you right now about what you mentioned to me last time, about a woman who always visits here, the one you said who looks like, as the woman next to me in the photo?” I slowly narrated to her what I wanted to ask her since.She thought slightly before speaking. “Is it about the woman I mentioned some previous days, Brother?” She then asked.I nodded immediately. And eager to know what she could say about it. “Yes, it’s about her.” I then said.“Erm, the truth is---” She scratched her head before continuing what she is about t
Chapter 25So many questions suddenly flashed through my mind as Dralia, and I hugged each other even longer.“Dralia, how long have you been alive? I mean, have you get up from your grave?” I slowly let go of her hug so she could talk properly.“Honestly, Harris, I didn’t die, I mean, I wasn’t buried really.” She answered me.I was a little surprised by her confession.“But? Isn’t it true, we were both stabbed, and lost consciousness because of what your grandmother did to us? What do you mean you were not buried?” I kept asking her questions out of confusion.She took a deep breath, and bowed her head for a moment, and calmed herself. “I’m a human, but with vampire blood.” She immediately said to me.“And, then?” I am still confused.She frowned at what I said.“What’s up? Aren’t you surprised?”
Chapter 26I forced a laugh. “Tell me you are just having a good time with me. How come you have a sister? Didn’t your mother, and father split up?” I asked Dralia calmly.“In a hundred years ago, Harris, a lot happened. While you were peacefully lying, and sleeping in your coffin with your parents, many things had happened to me. To my family, in particular, since we are vampires.” She answered.“So, does that mean your grandma and grandpa are still alive?” I have no brakes in asking her a question.“It’s twenty years ago already since they passed away, Harris.” She replied.I felt a sudden joy inside of me, so I looked at Dralia excitedly. But what I concluded from her face, it was as if she was sad, maybe given the fact that the old grandma and grandpa were gone.“Actually, since that incident, there has been a commotion, right? But later on, they forgave e
Chapter 27 A map? And royal vampire races? But why did she give it to me?“But, Dralia, why me?” I asked her out of curiosity.“What do you mean by why it’s you?” She answered me a question.“I mean, why did you give it to me? Shouldn’t you be the one to wear it? Given the fact that you are the one assigned to be the Princess of the entire Dracu Del Mundo. Especially now that your Grandma and Grandpa are gone.” I replied to her.She moves closer to me. “Yes, I am the heir. But the problem is, many wanted to claim the power to conquer the entire race of vampires. And evil ones are planning to trace the places where the other vampires are located now. I don’t want them to get ahead of us to figure that out. And I don’t want to have that in my possession because I know, I’m the one they’re ai
Chapter 28Ever since Dralia walked here, and I have learned the whole truth of what happened to us a hundred years ago, Dralia has often visited here carrying many cartons containing bottles of blood. Therefore, she seems to be the blood supplier here for Tonette, and me. By the way, about Tonette. When I found out that they were siblings, I felt even more relieved when I’m with her. That is why they have a resemblance in their eyes. Where is that kid? Hmm, she was just here a while ago.I first lowered the glass I had been drinking from and laid it on the table. I stood up, and carefully rolled my eyes at the entire space of this mansion.“Tonette?” I called her first. But I heard no response. So I decided to call her again.“Tonette? Where are you?” I shouted as I called her name again, but as before, I still did not get a response.Where is that kid? I thought carefully about where to find her. And
Chapter 29“Wait, I’m still confused until now, can I ask a question again?” Heavy questions were stuck in my mind.The siblings nodded so I continued the questions that were bothering my mind.“Why are we prolonging to make use of this key? If only we could find the map, and go to the place where the other vampires are.” I asked them a long question.“It’s not that easy, Harris,” Dralia quickly opposed my suggestion, so, we could do what we were supposed to do.“What do you mean by that, Dralia? Why not? After all, here is the key, here is your sister, Tonette, whose blood will serve as our guide to the place you were saying.” I asked her.Tonette was shaking her head again, and again, so I was confused by their movements.“Haven’t we already talked about this, Tonya?” Dralia’s sermon to her sister, Tonette.“Sister, Brot
Chapter 30After planning the whole day, we went to bed early last night, and now we are packing for the long haul as we travel to the very top of that Del Mundo mountain range. We carried cartons of blood, some tools, and most importantly, white cloth to be used to keep Tonette’s blood.“Why don’t we just jump around, Dralia, just like you did when you were in the hospital,” I suggested.“We can do that.” She replied.“Oh, so it’s really fine indeed, wait! Just you? Why just the both of you only? I’m a vampire, too, right?” I clarified.“Because, Brother, you’re not a vampire yet, in its full transformation. So for now, we’ll just walk, first.” Tonette explained.I was suddenly nervous.“Just walking?” I clarified.“Yes!” She answered.I went to the window and peeked a little outside. But be
Chapter 31We were already tracking down the narrow road to the other side of town. It was still afternoon since we have been walking in the middle of this forest. Because the road is so narrow, we can’t walk together. So, Tonette was in the front, Dralia was in the middle, just next to her sister. And I was the last. I looked back at what we had walked before, and realized that we were far from civilization.“Is there a problem?” Dralia was worried.Dralia caught my attention. I also looked at Tonette who had also stopped walking and was anxiously waiting for me to answer.“W-What? No, let’s move on.” I replied.Dralia didn’t appeal to my answer so we just continued walking again. Steep roads are what we’re going through now, only the size of this road we are located right now is like only a span. So, possible that we can just step on the part with the grass. We made the right decisi
