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
Chapter 32It was still dawn when we decide to arrange our things and start walking while the heat of the sun was not yet coming out fully. But even though there is still no sun yet, we still need to protect our skin from the sun, and maybe, some other creatures could smell us.“Why isn’t Tonette applying this lotion to get rid of our vampire’s fragrance, Dralia?” my curious question. Still using my hoarse voice.“That’s what I have already said to you before. Tonette can hide her scent from a fellow vampire or whatsoever creature.” Dralia replied.“How about you? Can you do that, too?” I asked her again.“Hmm!” She nodded as well.“You can do it likewise, yet, why are you still soaking up with lotion like me? Give it to me! It’s mine.” I grabbed the bottle of the lotion from her which contains just like oil texture semiliquid.“
Chapter 33The heat of the sun was peeking out already when we decided to continue to walk wherever our feet would take us. I can’t remember the way to Del Mundo. It was as if all my memories of this place had just been erased like a bubble.“I guess you’re thinking of something so deep, Harris. Is there something’s bothering your mind? ” I didn’t realize that Dralia was by my side. Tonette walked ahead of us.“Nothing,” I shook my head, smiling at the same time.“If anything is bothering you, don’t hesitate to ask me.” I nodded and nodded.She walked first again, so I was able to tail behind them again. Now, I can say that the size of the road has changed a lot if it was full of trees then. Today, it has become even denser than the former Estancia forest.“Sister, look over there, there’s a small hut.” I raised my head slightly when I saw wh
Chapter 34“What? We will piece together weapons against those black vampires? But how? As per the fact that we are also vampires, too.” I complained to the siblings.Based on the idea of them, being repeatedly giving suggestions that we should patch together a spear made out of bamboo, and also knives made out of it the same.“Calm down, Harris. Don’t you remember anything?” Even though she had not asked before this, that’s what instantly came into my mind when she said we would improvise weapons out of bamboo.“I know, still and all, the only thing I am on edge about the thought right now is whether these weapons would still cause pain or injuries upon on them? What if they have already come up with a range of possible alternatives to keep them safe from it, right? Just think about it, a few years have already gone by. You did also said that vampires are now already using modern technologies. Wh
Chapter 35I was suddenly awakened when I heard crackles around the place, accompanied by a swaying of this hut we were at, made only of the thatched roof. It shakes when too many movements are done inside. So, I slowly opened my pair of eyes to see what was causing the hut to move.“You’re awake already, Brother.” Tonette was talking to me, so I stood up from my bed immediately, then right away scoured around when I realized Dralia is not around.“Where’s your sister, Tonette?” Tonette smiled and shook her head at the same time. Is there anything funny in what I said?“She is out there,” she replied to me shortly. “Hurry up there, we will start walking the mountains again. We’re going to walk early now so that you don’t faint again from the extreme heat of the sun. And then, increase the amount of oil you will be applying on your body, Brother. Then, sunscreen as well. I&r
Chapter 36On our sixth day, the sky was still dark but we had already started walking through the forest.“Sister, I’m already tired.” Dralia and I, both looked at Tonette’s spot when she spoke.“All right. Let’s sit here in the shade of this tree first. We have been walking for a while so I do understand. By the way, are you okay, Tonya?” Dralia said with a worried tone.“Yes, Sister.” Tonette was already sitting while leaning against the tree. While still observing any suspicious activity around.I can’t help but keep up with what she’s doing, it’s like I know what she’s noticing around the place. Even I, myself, I noticed that also. But I just ignored it.“Sister,” she called her sister again. But I preferred to step onto the back of the tree on whic
Chapter 37Tonette, and I were just behind her, while Dralia was just busy talking to her werehorse friend named Kiloy. Tonette only interrupts in the conversation once, while I was really quiet, I decided to just listen any strange sound around.“If you come with us now, Kiloy, how about your kingdom there?” Dralia commented.“There are other werehorses there, so its fine, then the real reason, Princess Dralia, why I chose to come with you, is because of the harassments the black vampires did the other day.” Dralia’s eyebrows raised as she was staring at Kiloy.“Troubled your kingdom? And why is that? What do they need from you?” We stopped walking when they stopped as well.“I don’t know, our Majesty just told us to look and observe around, and don’t let any black vampires to enter our kingdom again. And, maybe they have bad plans against us.” Dralia averted her fa
Chapter 78We lost sight of the strange cloud we saw earlier, and instead of looking for that strange cloud, we just ignored it in the end, seeing that if we choose our curiosity over our mission, it might slow down our journey. Curiosity kills, as others would say. We just tell and make ourselves believe that maybe that strange cloud we saw just does not exist for real. Or maybe we did not see it in a clear view. What’s important now is our mission, nothing else would matter most. And maybe the three of us just see it as something unusual but not in the actual.“Won’t you still stop waiting for that strange cloud to come out again, Brother Harris, and Kiloy? Because if you’ll ask me if I were you, just don’t bother to disturb that cloud anymore. It is a waste of our time. Your curiosity will slow us down. That may just want our attention. And it is unworthy for real. Let’s just leave it l
Chapter 77We now continued our journey, left the river after we already satisfied our thirst, and then walked and walked to where our feet would take us. We don’t want to waste our time, since Dralia, and the whole palace including the whole vampire race needs us now. I’m just worried now on this walk of ours, what if we meet some other kingdoms again? How can we explain to them that we are not adversaries?That we don’t have any single intention to harm them and their entire kind? What if we meet some obstacles or challenges along the way that will slow down our pace? What if something will happen to us while we are busy completing our mission and do not care anymore about our safety? I have these thousands of what-ifs in my mind, but I am motivating myself to do my best through this journey, and finishing it successfully will be great.It would be nice if Dralia was given a choice to be with us right now because we did
Chapter 76We don’t have any slightest idea of where we are now, but given that we already feel tired, it only means that we are already far from where we came from, which is the palace, and we, in that far just by running and jumping as quickly as possible. Our tiredness is like killing us slowly, that is why we stopped and rested for the meantime. We need to rest of course especially that we had to use our energy that much to quickly get out from the palace unnoticed by the black vampires.It is not an easy task to do since vampires have a strong smell. That means it can smell anything, everything. You name it. This is the right timing for us to rest since the morning already arrived and we are still running and jumping around not noticing it. It slipped out from our minds since we don’t care anymore if the morning reached us. All we think about is how to get out, continue the journey even with Dralia not around unlike the usual, and most
Chapter 75How long have we been here inside the CR, just staying inside and waiting for Dralia to permit us to at least show ourselves but Tonette still doesn’t let us out. I am now even more confused about what was happening right now. What’s going on outside and why doesn’t she let us out? What is it, for real? Is Dralia still safe?Where are Tita Delia and Sir Dracu? Why are we hiding like this as if someone had just arrived and does not want to see us? I hope Kiloy and I hurried to use the bathroom earlier, it may be possible that we can still have a chance to witness or at least had a peek with the incident right at this moment outside. And maybe I could be of help just in case something bad happened outside. I just hope Dralia and her parents are still outside safe and sound.And I just hope this hiding will end in no time for I am very worried about Dralia now and wanted to see her in an instant with my two eyes.
Chapter 74We made the most out of the few hours we could spend with Dralia’s parents since we only have limited time now. The full moon is fast approaching and we should continue our journey to Del Mundo Mountains again so we could reach there right on time. As well as we still can plan our next move upon reaching there. We should hurry before it is too late. All the fellow vampires hope that we could do our mission successfully and we could save everyone, even humans from bad vampires as well.To make our stay more memorable since we only have a little time left to stay here, we had a celebration in which Dralia first informed us of the reason why we held this kind of celebration and her parents agreed to prepare for everyone. This celebration symbolizes hope for everyone that we could make it and finish our mission right on time, and a reminder to us that they trust us and we should try our best to fulfill our mission for them. It is like a fa
Chapter 73There was a sudden knock on the door. That unexpected knock made us quickly arranged ourselves properly before we answered who knocked on the door and found out who was waiting outside. After the door opened, that was the only time we had come to realize that we didn’t lock it earlier the moment we entered the room.That made my heartbeat raised faster than the actual upon realizing that we were just as calm as it was, not knowing or making sure of locking the door in the first place before doing something that would be embarrassing for the both of us if ever someone of their family, like one of her parents or maybe Tonette, who would be caught us doing awkward thing inside. We were both very careless.How idiot we were. But we didn’t blame ourselves to the fullest since we did not plan of doing it in the first place. It was just an accident for real. We were just being drowned in our emotions and that ma
Chapter 72After Tonette and I talked last night about what I had dreamed, I left her in the living room after I asked her permission to leave first, since there was nothing else to talk about and I had already collected information that I could connect piece by piece to come up a solid explanation about my dream, if it was for real or just a dream at all. There is still a part of me that wants to just keep in myself about what’s inside of my dream that night. I am half bothered but I don’t want to believe that what’s in my dream could possibly happen because I don’t what will I do or what can I do if ever. Dralia and I also talked about what happened last night. I did not have a second thought anymore on telling her about it and asking her some questions because I really wanted to know the whole truth. I told her how I felt after that dream and it never left my mind since. I have the right to know how Dralia feels about being forced by t
Chapter 71When Kiloy cried all of a sudden, he said something that opened my eyes. He seems to have mentioned the incident last night.“I’ll read it tonight, I hope there’s no noise later, just so I don’t wake up anymore or be disturb.” He said that comfortably, it seemed like he just didn’t care to say that.“What’s that again, Kiloy?” it would have been appropriate for him to leave when I stopped him.“Huh? Why Harris? ” he looked at me in surprise.“You said there was a noise last night,” I repeat I am probably very desperate to listen now, because of my question to Kiloy.Earlier I asked Tonette, now I ask Kiloy. Maybe I shouldn’t ask them about that anymore.“Ahh, it doesn’t matter, then it’s not imp ---.” I stopped speaking when he answered my question. I thought he would ignore my question to him.
Chapter 70I am now sitting by myself in the living room, and at the same time reading the books from under the table. I was just seriously reading something I didn’t even mind about the surroundings when the chair I was sitting on all of a sudden moved on its own. I was startled knowing that I am just alone in here, but why all of a sudden my chair moved even if I didn’t move it myself personally.“ Brother Harris?” I dropped the book because of shock when I realized Tonette was now by my side in an instant. It double my heartbeat upon realizing how Tonette just emerge that quickly and out of nowhere like a wild mushroom without me expecting or just sensing it myself. I tried to fix myself and asked her why went here unannounced. “W-What are you doing here?” Even if I am still startled by the thought of her being with me now
