Time passes quickly, four seasons pass one after another. Every day, Samson and Lucasta worked together to clean the two castles, grow flowers, and vegetables, cook, and paint. Whatever they do, they do it together. Although Samson and Lucasta did not know whether Maris and the owls would return to their old place or not, he and she still took care of the castle opposite and kept it clean. These days, Lucasta keeps singing all day. Whenever Samson caught her singing and teasing the wild cats and whispering to them that her husband was about to become human again, he felt a pain in his heart. He was also very happy because the day he was free from the curse was near, but every time he helped her draw blood, his heart felt like someone was cutting it with a knife. - It's time to take the antidote. – Lucasta grabbed a syringe and a glass, ran to Samson, and held out her arm in front of him. Samson smiled, gently rubbed her pale skin, then carefully inserted the needle, drawing out a
The night was quiet, only a few howls of wolves echoed, and sometimes the rustling of leaves because of the chilly wind blowing from time to time. The full moon floated in the sky, gradually finding a rare space between the dark leaves to see a man with a beautiful face, like a statue lying on a branch of an old tree. The gentle light from the sky touched the noble-style clothes embroidered with extremely eye-catching patterns with gold thread, making Samson even more outstanding in the dark background. What belongs to him has an almost unique beauty: eyes, lips, mouth, and even hands, and feet. - Throw her away, don't regret a few more dollars. We cannot escape with a child. A voice interspersed with gasps from below startled Samson, his ruby eyes immediately looking down at the dense dwarf trees. It's already ten o'clock at night. He didn't expect that there would be someone brave enough to venture into this place known as the "Haunted Forest". With eyes capable of seeing throu
It was still dark, but Lucasta was awake and the first person she saw was a guy with his eyes closed, leaning back against the head of the bed. She withdrew her hand from his warm one and sat up and looked around the unfamiliar room. - Are you awake, Lucasta? Samson's voice startled Lucasta and turned her head, then she continued to look at him. Everything in this luxurious room and Samson was not in her empty memory. - Lucasta? - She pointed her finger at herself and raised her eyebrows. - Right. Now, you tell me your home address. When night comes, I'll take you home. - Home... home... The bewildered look on the girl's face made Samson realize she seemed to have a mental problem and she could only repeat the last words of his sentence. He tried to explain to her that home was where her parents or even her siblings lived, where there was the bed she used to lie on and the table she used to sit at to eat meals… Samson talked a lot, but all he got was Lucasta's constant headsh
When the rays of the sunset covered the castle, Lucasta also awoke from a long slumber. She happily yawned a few times and then hugged her hungry stomach and rubbed it. She waited for a long time but Samson didn't show up, so she got up from the bed and went to open the door. Her super excellent memory made her remember the route from her bedroom to the kitchen, and she just kept walking down the shiny stairs. All the ancient objects and furniture inside the magnificent castle made her extremely excited but did not dare to touch it, but just look at it. Fortunately, Lucasta only ate two pies for breakfast, so there was still one pie on the plate, enough to fill half of her stomach. Even though Samson was not by her side, she still did exactly what he had taught her. She took a knife and fork and cut the pie into small pieces before eating. After she finished eating, she wiped her mouth, washed her hands, went back to her room, and closed the door. For hours, she stayed in her r
When darkness surrounded the place, Lucasta fell asleep after listening to Samson telling some fairy tales. After he pulled the blanket over her, he quickly left the castle to meet Maris. Today is the beginning of the month and it's also the day when Harvey will deliver the necessities to them. Samson needed soap, toothpaste, shower gel, and dried blood, and Maris needed more than he needed. She needed flour, olive oil, salt and sugar, and even candy and milk for the owls that were raised by their owners like human babies. - Hello, handsome vampire guy. – Maris laughed happily as soon as she stepped out of the castle gates. - Yeah. Maris, tell Harvey to buy more of these for me. Samson said as he handed Maris a piece of paper. Maris took it and glanced at it, she realized they were all essentials for a child, strawberry toothpaste, milk, candy, cake, chocolate, flour, cornstarch, salt, olive oil, notebooks, books, pencils, crayons… and even mosquito repellent. - Are you going
As soon as Lucasta woke up, she jumped out of bed, put on her shoes and hobbled over to the window, pulled the curtain, and looked out. She no longer saw the pale rays of sunlight like yesterday, but only the gray color of the mist. Lucasta was stroking her shiny hair when she suddenly heard a knock on the door. She knew that the person standing outside was Samson, so she quickly let go of the curtain and went back to bed. Her brows furrowed from the pain in her legs and her small hand rubbed her stomach because she felt the hunger in her stomach. - Good morning Lucasta, let's go wash our faces. Samson said as he picked Lucasta up and carried her downstairs and carefully taught her how to brush her teeth and wash her face. Today, it's not sunny, so he plans to take her to the forest to pick mushrooms and some wild vegetables because he was afraid that if she only ate pies, she would get hot inside and not get enough nutrients. Because Lucasta couldn't tie her hair, he had to hel
After a while, Samson had gathered a basket of fresh mushrooms, some wild vegetables, and a bunch of firewood. The things in his hand reminded him of the peaceful time with Eirlys. A hundred years have passed, but he thought it was just yesterday. His ruby-colored eyes suddenly flashed as the nostalgia and hatred kept rushing back, causing the animals that were walking nearby to fear and curl their tails and run into the bushes. It took a long time for Samson to calm down and control his emotions and his eyes gradually returned to normal. He picked up the bundle of firewood on his shoulder and hurried back to the castle. When he was a short distance from the gate, he slowed down and walked slowly, like a normal person. He guessed Lucasta was probably awake and waiting for lunch. However, when he reached out to open the door of the room, the bed was empty, only the teddy bear and the neatly folded blanket. - Lucasta. Samson's voice became shaky. He ran to the curtain and groped
Harvey woke up when the alarm clock struck six-thirty in the evening. He reached out to turn off the alarm from the clock shaped like a rooster, then went to the glass door and pulled the curtain to look down on the glittering city with thousands of lights shimmering like stars. From the day Harvey managed the Star Corporation on behalf of Samson, his day began at five in the morning. He went to the company at that hour to avoid the sun. When the sun went down, he returned home. Everything in the corporation is handled by him in a closed room and Bonita Roberts is the one to support him in everything. Similar to Samson's relationship with Aurora's family, Hervey's relationship with Bonita's family lasted for generations because he lived for two thousand years. Hervey had to disguise his appearance as he aged over time and when a certain time came, the person assigned to help him in the Roberts family would make a death notice and funeral for him. After that, that person will comp

During their last days in the city, Samson took Lucasta shopping as well as taking her out to eat at delicious, famous restaurants and go for walks to ease her sadness over Harvey's sudden passing. He knew that for her, Harvey was no different than an older brother.Tonight, he took her to the banks of the Rose River, reminiscing about memories. The river heard his and her prayers but ignored Harvey and Aurora's wishes. Or maybe their wishes were also accepted but in a different way.- Aurora said that she and Harvey once went to this riverbank and made a wish. But now…- They're still together.Lucasta nodded, trying to swallow her tears. She is also trying to believe so, but she is too heartbroken and it is difficult for her to accept that she has lost two people she loves.- Tomorrow, William will pay the price for what he did. – She looked out at the vast river and spoke softly.- Uh. Tomorrow, we will return to our home.He intertwined his hand with her small hand and squeezed it
After a month, Harvey and Samson's bodies gradually recovered, and Lucasta's legs could also walk normally. However, Bella warned that with every season change, she will still be tormented by pain.However, for Lucasta, that pain is nothing when she has gone through so many incidents. As long as Samson is by her side, her heart is filled with happiness.Aurora's passing left endless sadness for those who loved her. And everyone understood that it was a deep hole in Harvey's heart.Although he still smiled and talked to everyone, his sad eyes proved everything. Previously, Harvey's eyes sparkled like the stars, containing no sadness.- When do you plan to return to the forest? – Harvey had just rearranged Aurora's beauty accessories, jewelry, and photos and asked.- This weekend, when that guy is sentenced. – Samson replied.Harvey didn't ask anything more, continuing to focus on the boxes in front of him. This is a way for him to ease his feelings of missing his lover. He arranged the
When the police thought they had deactivated all the bombs, a young police officer suddenly discovered that there was a bomb disguised in a container and the time to explode was being measured in seconds.He looked around in panic, screaming for everyone to leave, but his voice was only loud enough for a few people nearby to hear.Luckily, he saw a speaker thrown nearby, so he quickly picked it up and shouted.- The bomb is about to explode, get out of here quickly. The bomb is about to explode.Hearing the warning sound, no one told anyone, but both the police and the hunters simultaneously stopped fighting and rushed out through the doors.Aurora and the hunter she was trying to hold back were no exception, but her strength was exhausted so she only took a few steps before falling to the floor and unable to stand up.The scene before her eyes faded, and she could only see a few people running away in the near distance.Quite a distance from the factory, Lucasta could still hear the
When the clock struck seven o'clock in the evening, it was time for the police to depart. The car driven by Michael carried two couples leading the convoy towards the East factory.He originally thought that there would be some of William's henchmen guarding the place, but when they arrived, no one appeared even though he rang the bell several times.And what surprised him more was that the gate was unlocked.- Rush in.After Michael's command, the police team rushed through the door first. They held guns and walked step by step, looking around before signaling the people behind to enter.Samson and Harvey could see through the dark, so they both quickly moved to the electrical switch locations. Soon, the electricity in the entire factory area was turned on.- Captain, there's a lot of bombs. – Two or three policemen spoke up at the same time when they saw countless bombs placed everywhere.At the same time, Harvey and Samson also approached the place where Maris was being held. Heari
With support from police chief Jony, the next day, early in the morning, excavators and policemen gathered at the designated location, where a terrible fire occurred thirty years ago.Michael stood next to the scene and supervised the digging process. His face became darker and darker as he saw more and more human bones piled up.In his life as a police officer, this was the most cruel case he had ever participated in and had ever known. William is a devil, not human.- I'm listening. – Michael spoke up as soon as he picked up the phone.- Inspection notices have been sent to production facilities within the city and surrounding areas. – Bevis's voice rang out on the other end of the phone.- Good. Just prepare yourself mentally.After speaking, Michael immediately hung up the phone and approached the scene to observe. Among those shattered skeletons, there were also the skeletons of children.- William, you have contributed to the serious decline of this country's population.Accordi
At exactly seven o'clock in the evening, Samson and Lucasta also landed at the airport. Welcoming them was Michael.Seeing Michael, both of them quickly approached and followed him to the car.The car sped away and stopped in front of the villa gate. Lucasta recognized the two people standing nearby as Harvey and Aurora. Suddenly, a feeling of insecurity rose in her heart.- Sister Aurora. – Lucasta hugged Aurora as soon as she got out of the car.- It's been hard for you.- No, I feel like I just came back from a trip. Well, let me tell you this story.After saying that, Lucasta grabbed Aurora's hand and pulled her into the house.As she walked, she told the doctor about the village with people in the shape of vampires and the blood that Anatole bought to use as food for them, to help relieve their pain.The secret meeting took place in a tense atmosphere as the three of them told Samson and Lucasta about Maris' disappearance and suspected that it was related to William.Samson could
After finishing lunch, Aurora and Harvey went to the slums to visit the family of a boy with a strange illness. The boy's parents did not show any strange symptoms, but their child had this terrible disease.Although today was not sunny, because the boy felt an inferiority complex because of his appearance plus the pain was tortured, the boy kept hiding in the dark corner of the shabby house.When he saw Aurora and Harvey approaching, he raised his innocent eyes to look at them.- I bought a gift for you, come here. – Aurora put the bag of fruits and vegetables in front of him and seduced him.The boy reached out his hand, took it, and then cowered back in the corner, saying nothing.His lips were always peeling and bleeding, making him reluctant to open his mouth except when eating and drinking.Looking at this scene, Harvey's heart was hit hard, and painful as if someone was squeezing his heart.- When he was born, he was also stout, his skin was glossy and very cute. I didn't think
As scheduled, after three days, Samson and Lucasta were present at Anatole's villa.Fortunately for Samson, the prime minister chose to depart in the afternoon, when the sunlight was fading.Seeing the handsome guy wearing thick clothes and a hat like a terrorist, Anatole's face showed surprise.- The weather changed so he caught a cold. – Lucasta quickly explained.- When I return to my country, I will be fine. – Samson said.Anatole nodded and invited the two guests into his car. Today, he wants to lead them to a place that he has always hidden, a place full of pain.The car passed through bustling roads and drove straight to the forest about two hundred and thirty kilometers away from the capital.When they arrived, darkness had covered everything. Through the light of the car's headlights, Lucasta realized that the road they were driving on was full of mud, plastic bags and empty bottles were scattered along both sides, looking no different from a landfill.- Samson…- It's okay.
