Lucasta quickly went to the kitchen and prepared dinner as soon as she and Samson returned to the castle. Although she said that she grilled mushrooms for Samson, she knew he ate only very little. In her childhood memory, he didn't even eat or drink. Until she was curious, wondering, he tried to eat some, as if he was forced by her. - From whom did you learn how to make this grilled mushroom, Lucasta? - Samson asked as he put more wood in the stove. - Maris taught me. She grilled mushrooms for the owls and me. Very delicious. When she said that, she swallowed her saliva and smiled. Samson was also happy when he saw her so happy. He did not expect time to pass so quickly. Ten years passed like a warm dream and his little girl grew up. Although she was a little clumsy when she did the housework, at least she could take care of herself. When the aroma from the stove rose, Lucasta hurriedly turned the mushrooms over so that they cooked evenly. Moments later, she put them on a
In the sorrowful darkness, Samson told Maris what had happened in the afternoon. He also expressed his thoughts at the moment. He felt as if he were imprisoning Lucasta. However, he was afraid that if she met someone else, she might gradually move away from his arms, like any other mature girl. - Samson, if you consider her like a sister, you need to understand her mood. Lucasta has grown up, so please bring her back to where she belongs so she can integrate into the community. - Lucasta is still naive and stupid. Besides, she said she just wanted to know if the drawings in the book were real or not. She said she was happy to be with me. Samson's obstinacy and self-deception made Maris only could shake her head and sigh. If he thought like that, he wouldn't have to worry or be sad. No ordinary person would want to live in this gloomy forest. This place has only trees, wind, and freezing snow in winter. This desolate place is just the residence of two vampires who cannot contr
After a few days, Samson fulfilled his promise, which was to bring Lucasta to the city to fulfill her desire to explore the bustling metropolis. Daytime was an unsafe time, so he planned to leave at six o'clock in the evening. At this moment, darkness covered everything and not a single ray of sunlight remained. - Maris will also come to the city with us, right? Lucasta was excited when she saw Maris appear with a small handbag in her hand. Maris did not wear a long skirt as usual, but she wore a knee-length skirt, a T-shirt, and dark sneakers. However, her face was still heavily made up. - Right. I haven't been out for a long time. The three of us will take a trip together. - Maris replied. - Let's go. Samson held out his hand, and Lucasta took his hand and let him lead her away. Her clothes were mostly vintage dresses, so Samson told her to leave them at the castle and when they got to the city, he would buy her modern dresses for her to wear. It's also a way to avoid draw
The sound of footsteps coming from behind made Lucasta turn her head to look. She recognized that the girl walking beside Maris was Aurora, who had come to the castle and examined her ten years ago. Finally, she also found someone who has changed over time, just like her. Although Lucasta noticed Aurora was still younger and more beautiful than her actual age, the wrinkles around the corners of her eyes proved that aging is the law of nature. - Miss Aurora, oh, Miss Aurora. I haven't seen you for a long time. - Lucasta quickly let go of Harvey's hand and hugged Aurora. - Yes, ten years have passed. You've grown up already. - Aurora patted Lucasta's back and smiled. Until Lucasta let go of Aurora, her eyes were still filled with tears because she was so emotional. She did not know when she fell asleep. When she regained consciousness, she realized she was lying on the bed. Just now, in her dream, she thought she was sleeping in the castle. - All right, Lucasta, we'll go to Har
When the three of them returned to the apartment, Lucasta immediately entered the room and closed the door.However, she did not go to sleep but sat next to the glass door to see the city from above.Those multicolored lights reminded her of the starry sky in the forest.She found that living in the city was extremely convenient.This place has everything. The atmosphere is bustling, not as sad as in the forest.She felt regret because she got mad at Samson and made herself unable to eat ice cream.It was late at night.Outside on the balcony, Maris sat on the railing and leisurely enjoyed a glass of red blood.She felt like Vincent was standing out there, where the air traffic warning light was blinking.- Are you still not sleeping?She asked when Harvey had just come out.He was also holding a glass of red blood.The night wind carrying all the flavors of the city blew into her gloomy face disguised with thick makeup and her smile and took a tear away, dissolving it in midair.- Ar
It wasn't until the clock struck seven that Lucasta woke up. Because she was still sleepy, she forgot to take off the blanket and walked straight out of bed. As a result, she tripped and fell back onto the floor. The impact was so strong that the two people sitting in the living room could hear it, and a few seconds later, Samson ran to her side. - Lucasta, are you okay? Are you in pain? - He panicked, picked her up, laid her on the bed, and asked. - I'm fine. Why did you wake up without calling me? – She whispered. - I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't dare to wake you up. Come on, wash your face. Aurora is waiting for you in the living room. As soon as Samson finished speaking, Lucasta quickly stood up and ran to her room. She hurriedly washed her face and changed into a new dress and ran to the living room because she wanted to go around the city during the day to see things more clearly. - Good morning, Aurora. - Good morning, Lucasta. Those two greetings also pu
After a long day sitting in the office, Harvey returned home with a rather tired appearance. Last night, he didn't seem to sleep at all. Lucasta was still with Samson, so he couldn't help but worry. Besides, they were still hanging around in this city. This morning, Bonita gave Harvey a newspaper, and it worried him. Amateur paparazzi took pictures of fast-moving shadows in the night. Harvey just needed a glance to know that the main character in the photo was none other than three guests staying at his house. - Good afternoon, Mr. Harvey. – Lucasta excitedly exclaimed when the owner of the apartment appeared. - Good afternoon Lucasta. What are you doing? - Harvey asked while taking off his shoes. - I am watching television. - She pointed to the living room. Through the transparent glass door, Harvey saw Samson nodding and smiling at him, and Maris still intently changing the channel to watch the news. Harvey had planned to talk to Samson about the photo, but after thinking f
During the entire way back to the luxury apartment, Samson did not dare to turn his head to look at Lucasta because every time he looked into her eyes, his heart beat wildly.In his mind, he kept reminding himself that the lovely girl sitting next to him was his sister. The relationship between them was brother and sister.While Lucasta was thinking about planning for tomorrow night, Samson was thinking about that blurry photo.He knew that if he told her now that they were going back to the castle tonight, she would probably get angry, so he kept quiet, let her go back to the castle, and then she could scream whatever she wanted.- Samson, I want ice cream.- You have eaten many dishes today. Your stomach will hurt if you continue to eat.- Samson, tomorrow night, please take me to the river with many electric lights.- There's nothing special there.He finished talking for a long time but did not hear her reply.Because he was surprised, he glanced to the side, and he realized she w
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
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.
