2024-10-29 19:42:56I STILL can't get out of my mind the things that Colby told me. I seem to be struck by everything he said but I insist on not believing it. I can't show my weakness to him. I don't even know if I should trust him. But how did he know me like that? How does he know certain things in my life while I haven't known him for that long.
"Syrie, you'll be surprised who's coming."
I was aroused in thought when I heard Trina's voice. I blinked and saw the amazement on her face and the astonishment there. Later I saw the woman enter the house while looking around.
"Faram?" I said her name while surprised on my face right now. I even stood while my eyes were on her. She was with some vampires that for sure were his bodyguards.
"You look surprised, Syrie," Faram said, smiling. She was very different from the former Faram I knew. In hindsight, she had been influenced by the world in which she had lived for so long. She l

I STEP back as Volter's attacks on me. And when I saw the direction of his fist, I resisted there and I quickly grabbed his arm and I followed with a strong punch to his face, a way for him to fall. I couldn’t control the force of my attack so Volter went far from everyone's expectations. I could see that Volter did not immediately stand up from his fall. I went back to the middle of the arena. Soon I saw Volter standing again. His eyebrows met when he looked at me, traces of anger and frustration were there. I could see his aggressiveness as his teeth seemed to grit as he approached me. He quickly pulled out his nails and his fang. He used his speed to get to me right away. He attacked and tried to injure me with his sharp nails but I avoided that. He made a series of attacks, and I avoided all of them because I had studied his every move. "Volter, stop!" I heard Father Trevor shout. Volter didn't listen to him, h

I WAS SURPRISED when I came out of the room and saw Colby there, he was sitting on the sofa while he seemed to be waiting for me. Vernon just left while Trina was just sitting across from Colby and they were both silents."Oh, she's already here," Trina exclaimed as soon as she saw me leave my room. I don't know why but there seems to be something strange about Trina. Does he seem tense and why?Colby turned to me. He smiled at me and then got up from his seat. "Good day, Syrie," he greeted me warmly.I averted my eyes from him. I’m afraid to talk to Colby because I feel like everything he says hits me. It’s like how much he knows about me as I force you to disbelieve. "Why are you here?" I asked him coldly.
Into the Dark (English) Chapter 25: Trust Me, Syrie!
UNTIL now I still cannot believe that I am in the village of the wolves that I consider my enemies. I also can’t believe that I’m coming to this point where I can feel this feeling as if someone has accepted me fully, without a doubt.I’m still lying in bed because until now I still can’t move my legs because it hurts like hell. I also couldn’t stand up because of the soldering I was feeling. I didn't know there was such a thing as a poison that could be used on wolves like me. How do those vampires seem to be getting more aggressive? They were ready to kill me. Who are they? If those vampires were in the Mansion, who was the one behind this, who were they? Did Volter know what his disciples were doing? Lots of questions in my mind because of what happened to me."Sister, Syrie."I shrugged, then quickly looked up at the girl who called my name. My face lit up when I saw Yena smiling, she wa
Into the Dark (English) Chapter 26: Marcus Effect
I SLOWLY moved my legs, I still felt a little pain but not that much. I also feel like my strength is returning. How many days have I just been lying here? I have been here in the village for four days. I’m sure Trina and Vernon are worried about me because of my sudden disappearance. Volter probably already knew this.When I set my feet on the bamboo floor, I felt the cold of it crawl all over my body. I tried to force my leg to build it up. I held onto the side of the wall first and then tried to stand up. I smiled as I finally felt enough strength for me to stand up.I tried to release the grip. There was happiness and hope in me because I felt like my strength was returning. I took a step. I winced because I still had pain in my leg.

UNTIL NOW I still remember everything Marcus told me on the last day. Because of what he said, I was confused. I thought and asked all I had heard that I didn’t know what the right answer was. Even if I insist that maybe Marcus just said that to deceive me, there's a part of my mind that doesn't accept that. There’s still the confusion that I can’t get rid of. It’s like how much I still don’t know that I need to know about vampires, even the wolves.I sighed and then closed my eyes. I don’t know what I should think. I was afraid that my heart might soften completely with the wolves. As I take in this village, I feel sympathy for them. I can see the pleasure everyone feels that I also want to feel."Hello, Sister Syrie."My eyes opened quic
Into the Dark (English) Chapter 28: Confused Mind
I SLOWLY got up from my seat on the bed and I felt well because I no longer felt severe pain, it was just barely. I smiled because I knew that tomorrow my strength might return to normal."How are you feeling, Syrie?"I looked up and saw Marcus at the door looking at me. He stepped closer. He looked at my feet.“I feel like my strength is returning,” I happily confess.He looked up at me, from my foot up to the clothes that I was wearing that Rossa had just lent me. It fits me well, maybe because we're about the same size."It's good then, Syrie it just means that the poison is gone from your body," he explained. I don't know but I felt so
Into the Dark (English) Chapter 29: Leaving
I STILL DON’T know what I should think of the things I heard from Marcus and that man named Trigo. Should I believe them in everything they say about the vampire I consider my parents and what they say about them? The difficulty of that is because there is a part of my mind that says I should listen to Marcus and believe him. I sighed. I quietly turned in front of the window as I sat on that bed. I feel fine. Actually, I can go back home but something is holding me back and tells me to stay in this village. I feel sad at the thought of leaving the place where I saw real happiness and the reception of wolves. "How are you, Syrie?" I turned to the man who spoke and was so shocked to see Colby there. I was surprised to see him there. "Colby!" I was shocked when I mentioned his name. I didn’t expect to see him in this place because he disappeared from my mind. I forgot he was able to enter this p
Into the Dark (English) Chapter 30: Back Home
I DIDN'T even wait for Yena to wake up. She was next to me last night and even the other wolves before I left. I feel fine now and my strength is back to normal.The surroundings are starting to light up but everyone in the village is still quiet.I turned again to Yena who was still sound asleep. I approached her again and gently stroked her hair. I knew I was longing for this child and this place that made me feel accepted that I've never felt in the place where I grew up. Marcus suddenly entered my mind. I shook my head to get rid of him and thought that I would miss him too.I got up and walked away from the bed. I looked at Yena for the last time before I finally left the room. I felt something heavy as I stepped my feet away from that village. In more than a week I have been there, I have come closer to a place that has made me feel truly welcome. I felt in this village that I belonged here."Are you j

UNTIL I got home that night, I still couldn't fully wrap my head around everything I learned. It keeps messing with my mind while I don't know how to accept and believe that. I am now torn between two sides and I don't know which to believe, who is telling them the truth. I'm confused and still don't know what to do."Hey! I've been calling you for a while, Syrie why don't you seem like yourself?"I blinked because Vernon waved his palm in my face. His surprised face appeared at me."It's strange that you're dumbfounded, Syrie? We've been here for a while but you don't seem to see or feel anything at all?" Trina said with folded arms as she stood on the edge of the sofa. Then she also sat there.I tried to smile while looking at these two. I turned my back away from the sofa and my face became serious. I slightly avoided looking at them. "I-it's nothing, I just thought of something," I excused them. I don't know if it's the right time to tell them everything I found out."Is there a p
Into the Dark (English) Chapter 47: Truth (Part 2)
I WILL NOT allow myself to leave this village without knowing other things about my real parents. The darkness is spreading around and I also have to go back home because I know Persuz will ask again where I went if I don't go home.Yena and I also played for a long time because we longed for each other before Rossa came and took the child.Marcus hasn't come back since father Trigo called him, so I'll be the only one to go there to know everything about my parents’ past. I want to clear up before I leave because I might not be able to sleep if those things keep messing with my mind.Marcus and father Trigo were surprised when they saw me enter the room. They seem to be talking seriously."Syrie, what are you doing here?" Marcus greeted me. The momentary concern on his face did not escape my eyes, father Trigo is not like that.I stepped closer to them and sat in the empty seat opposite Marcus. "I want to know everything right now, Marcus. Everything about my parents," I said directly
Into the Dark (English) Chapter 47: Truth (Part 1)
I STILL CAN'T believe what I heard from those wolves. I try to understand and find the truth in them. Is all that true? But someone tells me to believe that because they are telling the truth but there is a part that reminds me of the vampires who sheltered me and the good they did for me.Maybe I was just surprised by what I found out. How did my real father Amaro become Trevor's brother? And then, how come they didn't tell me that. Why didn't they confess to me those things that I should know. They didn't even mention to me that Amaro is my father. It's all a mess and I don't know which one is true."Are you ok?"I heard Marcus' voice. He sat next to me on the veranda of the house where I also stayed before. I kept looking around where I could see the tall trees. I sighed. "Marcus, everything is a mess. I have so many questions in my mind that I can't get the answer to. I don't know what to think about what I found out," I confessed, then turned to look at him with confusion on my f
Into the Dark (English) Chapter 46: Who's Colby?
NOW that Trina and Vernon knew what I was doing and about Marcus, I had no trouble hiding from them. I'm only worried about Persuz because I know who his loyalty is and it's not mine. I don't even have to explain if I'm leaving and answer their question every time I come back."I want to go to the village but I can't, Marcus. I have to be careful with my every move," I said to him while we were on the edge of the stream. He wanted us to go to the village of the wolves because he said he had things to tell me but it was not possible because Volter had disciples there who might see me and tell Volter."Why not, Syrie?" he asked me in surprise.I looked at him seriously. "Marcus, you don't know who is a true friend or foe even if it's your kind and with you," I meaningfully reminded him who frowned even more."What do you mean, Syrie? That there is a traitor in the village?"I didn't answer right away. I don't know if I should talk about Colby or just let it go. "I don't know, Marcus, bu
Into the Dark (English) Chapter 45: Confrontation
THIS MORNING, the smile on my lips still hasn't disappeared because of what happened between Marcus and me last night. My heart is full of joy because of that and I don't want to let it go. I just want to savor it because there's a truth that I don't know how long I'll be able to feel it. I really only felt that with Marcus because maybe he was the only one capable of giving that to me."Oh! Your face looks happy, Syrie, huh?" Vernon greeted me when I got out of my room.I smiled at him. "I'm just feeling happy today, Vernon," I returned to him.I went straight to the living room and sat on the sofa there. Vernon followed me there. "Where is Trina?" I asked when I noticed that she wasn't there and only Vernon was there."Trina? I don't know where she is, she just left a while ago," he answered while his palms were intertwined and his arms rested on his knees."You? Don't you have an appointment? Haven't you been summoned to the mansion?" I asked him. In the past, they were often at th

UNTIL now I still can't get out of my mind what Trina said to me. I didn't even think about that or even suspect Marcus, that he might be one of those wolves with a moon carved on his right arm. Yes, I didn't immediately trust him but I never thought that he might be the one I was looking for. What if that's true? What if Marcus has a moon carved on his right arm? How can I deal with what can happen when I've fallen for him?I sighed as I hugged myself standing in front of the living room window where my eyes were looking at that big tree in front of me. It was dark around and the night breeze was slightly cold. I was the only one at home again because Trina and Vernon were in the jungle while Persuz was in the mansion.My mind has been working on what Trina said and I'm afraid to know what is true and what is not. I don't even know if I can accept when it turns out that Trina is right."Are you thinking about me again?"I blinked and was suddenly nervous when I saw Marcus at the bott
Into the Dark (English) Chapter 43: Tattoo
"I'M just curious, Syrie, why did you suddenly have an interest in who you are?"I was slightly surprised by Trina's question as I sat quietly on the sofa facing her. I looked at her seriously before answering. "I don't know either, Trina I suddenly feel there's something missing in me. I feel like I'm missing myself and I don't know what it is," I answered.Trina looked at me as if checking the reaction of my face. Then she blinked. "Ok. I understand, Syrie and I can't blame you if you feel that way. It's natural for you to feel the search for the person you never knew," Trina agreed. "But that won't be good if Volter finds out about you, searching for your personality," she continued with a look of frustration on her face. "Maybe he'll think you're betraying him.""I already know that possibility, Trina, so as much as possible I don't want to tell anyone about this matter.""Don't worry, Syrie, I'm on your back. You can also assure me that what you said is safe," she said smiling.I
Into the Dark (English) Chapter 42: Heart
I was seriously looking at that rushing stream while the strong wind was blowing. I'm still thinking about what Volter said to me. But even so, I still feel sad and regretful because we spent so much time together that only ended up with us doubting each other. Volter and I have changed so much since we had a misunderstanding. Since he felt jealous of me."You're thinking so deep, baby."I was slightly surprised and blinked when I felt Marcus hug me from behind, he even pressed his face to my neck which brought a tickle to me.I sighed. I don't know why I couldn't feel the fear that someone might see us there and find out what was going on between us. All I know is that I'm safe when I'm with Marcus."I just can't help but think about the things that have changed in my life, Marcus, the things that are happening around," I said calmly as he gently rubbed his arm around my waist"Are you thinking about me too, Syrie?" he said backI blinked at what he said. "Do I always have to think a
Into the Dark (English) Chapter 41: Doubt
Even if I WANT to go to the village to see Marcus there, even Yena and Rossa, I can't because I know Volter has a spy there to identify who the wolves are with the carving moon on their right shoulder. They could find out that I was coming to the village and that would surely reach Volter and start to doubt me.I sat down on the sofa. The situation will be more complicated now because of the decision I made and I have to be more careful because it will have a big impact on me and the vampires."Oh, Syrie you don't have a walk today?"I looked up at Vernon who had just entered the house from I don't know where he came from. Since I came to the village, I don't even know what my housemates are up to."Where are you from, Vernon?" I asked him again. I don't have to answer his question."At the mansion, Uncle Freud spoke to me and said hello," he answered bluntly. He sat in front of me and watched my face. "Lately, I've noticed that you always seem to be thinking about something. There's
