MARCUS came out of the room wearing Vernon's dress that I had given him to wear. It was simple pants and a t-shirt but it brought out the beauty of Marcus' body.
He approached me in front of the window where I was standing. I also don’t know why I even let him stay at home. I averted my eyes from him and turned outside. I felt him next to me.
I still remember what that man said about Marcus and how he looked because of it. I still can’t explain how much sympathy I feel for him.
"Why did you kill those wolves, Marcus? They're not different," I asked. I just looked at him for a moment.
Marcus did not look at me, his eyes remained on the forest. "I don't want to kill my people, Syrie but I also can't let them destroy the wolf race," he explained.
I thought they were Marcus's ally because the man named Rendy said that they were here to avenge Yena. If that isn't so, what
"REMINISCING memories?"I looked up at him. "Sorry, reminiscing memories isn't my thing, Marcus."He stepped closer to me. "Do you remember the time we were here then? The kiss?"I narrowed my eyes on him. I kept my expression from showing embarrassment because he hit what I was thinking.I was forced to smile to show he was wrong. "Me? I'm sorry, but that kiss didn't affect me, Marcus. Maybe that thing will be important to you, but for me, it wasn't?" I went back to him.He laughed and even bowed slightly. "What if I say, you're right. The moment I kissed you, it stuck in my mind, Syrie."I was stunned for a moment but immediately returned to my blank expression. "Don't expect me to feel the same, Marcus."Marcus was serious. He looked at me. "Syrie, can you please stay with me? I really need you now."I was speechless at what he
I still can't get over what Marcus told me yesterday. I tried to get it out of my mind but it also tried to push me and remind me about it. Should I really know myself? There's a saying that you only know yourself if you know where you come from, but in my situation, should I?"Trina, don't you really know anything about Father Trevor and Mother Viola adopting me?"Trina frowned with astonishment on her face at what I had asked her as if she did not expect me to ask. She thought, her head tilted slightly. "That's all I know, Syrie. That they found you in the woods where your parents left you," she replied.That was also the story I knew then. According to Mother Viola, they used to travel to the middle of the forest back to the mansion. They said they came from somewhere in the woods when they heard a baby crying not far from them. They immediately looked for it and they found a baby in a basket. I was wrapped in a thick
I WAS astonished to look around because the place I was in was unfamiliar to me. Where am I? There seems to be smoke around which makes the place even more creepy. It was also dark around but I could see the trees around and the vines creeping in everywhere.I tore the thick leaves and the vines in front of me to go to this unknown part of the forest. I don’t know why I’m here."Syrie."I stopped walking when I heard that woman’s voice still echoing throughout the forest. I looked around but saw no one there. The cold wind blew which brought a strange feeling to me. It's creepy.I continued to step into this unfamiliar place. I didn’t even see any other creatures in the area. I just took a step until I got to the place where the smoke seemed to be stronger and there were thick leaves around it. On the other side, there was a stream there.I stopped and nar
IT IS STILL NOT clear to me what I should do. Up to this day, everything that Marcus said to me still haunts my mind. I still wonder if he deserves to be trusted. My brain is fighting over those two things, whether or not to trust him anymore?"Syrie, Faram is coming tomorrow, are you going?"I blinked at Trina's question to me as I rested my palms on the window jamb and silently stared out of the house. I turned to him. "I have no choice, Trina if I don't go there, Faram will definitely doubt me, you know he's ready to do anything just to ruin my reputation to all the vampires," I explained.Faram is one of those vampires who doesn't like me for no reason. Ever since I became aware of the world I live in, it seems that everything I do is opposed by Faram. Many times she tried to destroy me and call me a traitor to the vampires, but because Volter was my ally, he did not succeed in destroying me. She was probably the one
I SEE the excitement on Trina and Vernon faces for the party to be held for Faram's arrival. Vernon was wearing a black suit while Trina was wearing a red backless dress. While I wore simple pants and a T-shirt, then a jacket on top of it. While Persuz left earlier.Outside the mansion, you can see busy vampires and some wolves preparing for the party. We got there early so we found that many were still busy with the event.No emotion drew on my face as we entered the side yard of the large mansion. I didn't even pay attention to the vampires who were looking at us as if they wanted to rush and kill me and some were even happy to see me. Well, that wasn’t new for me. I already knew the system every time I set foot in this mansion."Syrie, look you're the only one who's wearing weird clothes here," Trina began when she noticed the attire of many of those Vampires and wolves there."Why do you we
I GO to the veranda of the mansion when I leave that long table. I felt uncomfortable with them. I don’t like the way they look at me as if they are still making me feel like I don’t belong to them. Well, they're not like me because I'm a wolf while they're vampires. They only have two legs while I can make my legs four. I can still feel their suspicion of my loyalty to them.I remember back then when Father Trevor and Mother Viola were still alive, a lot of vampires asked them why they had adopted me even though they were not my kind. They doubted me and a lot of them opposed my staying in the mansion. So when my parents disappeared, I felt more that they wanted me to disappear from the mansion but since Volter and Uncle Freud were still there beside me, they did nothing to kick me out of the mansion. I was just the one who decided to stay away because there was a little quarrel between Volter and me.I thought I also had Volter
"I HEARD it right, Syrie? Faram offered you a friendship?" Trina asked incredulously when I told them about my conversation with Faram last night.I nodded. “You heard it right, Trina Faram asked me to be her friend and she said we should forget what happened in the past,” I said. My eyes even rolled because I didn’t believe that."Do you believe her, Syria?" Vernon, who was in front of me, asked as we sat on the sofa.I thought for a moment. Should I believe Faram even though when I saw her at that long table, I could see in his eyes the flame there and her strange look as if I was an enemy. "Of course not, Vernon. It's hard to believe someone like Faram. She's smart and cunning," I replied."I can't believe she would ask you to befriend her. It's a huge miracle, Syrie. Well, we don't know her real purpose but it's hard to believe that even though she almost killed you before," sai
I CANNOT believe that I decided to accept the friendship that Marcus was offered to me. Was my decision to accept his offer was right? I shook my head as I headed home. I can't get out of my mind that scene between Marcus and me where I decided to accept his offer to be my friend for the sake of my unknown past.Right, I just did that so I could get to know my past and no other reason than that. I can use him and when I know the things I want to understand, then I will avoid him again and throw him away like garbage. I can also use him as a bridge to my revenge. If he thinks we're friends, it'll be easy for me to find the wolves that I'm looking for. I will continue my plan with him and I will make sure that I will succeed this time.But I still can't bring myself close to him because I know there is a possibility that I feel the emotions I shouldn't feel. I cannot be attached to him or anyone else like him. I had to make that plan with no e
