Annie's bedroom,
When Annie arrived inside her room, she carefully placed Amelia on her bed as she patiently waited for her to wait up. "She's still unconscious?. Honestly, how powerful was that vampire guy?". Annie muttered and was now battling about what to do with Amelia. Annie was still new to being a vampire, so she didn't exactly know what she was expected to do now. "Wait. That's it!. These vampires must have some kind of incantations to heal the wounded. Damn it. Even though there was an incantation that I could use, how would I do it? I arrived in this world today. Everything that is happening in this world is kinda making me want to change my mind. Could it mean I want to return to my own world?". Annie questioned herself. PS, even though Annie was fearless, she was wary of this new world she was in. "Arghhh!". Annie hissed and groaned as the memories of last night— when she was still in her own world, suddenly played right inside of her head— 'What I'd give to stop seeing these nightmares! Even if I have to travel to another world for it to stop, I sure am willing!'. This memory replayed over and over inside Annie's head before it finally stopped. "What was all that?". Annie said after the memory of last night which had played in her head, ended. "I think I'm feeling goosebumps. Could that be it? The reason why I was brought here? Simply because of my words? It was obvious I was furious when I said those words. But, I didn't expect the universe to take my words so seriously, to the extent of sending me into this world". Annie muttered as she complained even more. "My- my Lady?". Annie turned to face the person who had called her. And when she saw that it was Amelia, she was glad. Seeing that it was Annie's bed that she was lying on, Amelia panicked. "I'm so sorry, My Lady!. A mere servant like me isn't worthy of lying on your bed". Amelia announced and immediately tried to get up from Annie's bed, but Annie prevented her from doing so. "You're still injured. So stay still". Annie ordered Amelia with a harsh voice, as she didn't want Amelia to oppose her order. "Don't be stubborn and stop moving, Amelia". Annie ordered Amelia once more as she noticed that Amelia was still trying to get down from the celeste's silver velvet mattress. On the other hand, Amelia was already aware that her lady, Annie, was a kind and generous vampire. But according to the rules, it's an abomination for a lowly and low-ranked vampire like her to lay or even sit down on her master's bed. If others were to see her on Annie's mattress, wouldn't there be any problem?. Even still, Amelia was feeling unsettled because this was the law of Lord Davis, which Annie was violating. But it was a surprise to Amelia because Annie didn't even take breaking the law as any problem. Rather, she was oddly calm. "But... But". Amelia was trying to explain, but the right words weren't coming to her lips. Annie deeply sighed and was worried after seeing the troubled look on Amelia's face. In Annie's years of life, never has she cared for anyone, ever since both her parents died. Annie had a deep resentment towards the humans who abandoned her after her life came falling down hills. She knew all the struggles and hardships that she experienced just to get to the top again. And what made Annie despise all those pathetic humans who betrayed her even more, was because, after she had made it back to the top, they started acting like nice guys. But now, everything has changed for Annie ever since her transmigration to this world. She had finally seen someone who truly loved and cared for her. And that person was Amelia. Annie had already acquired the real host's memories, so she knew the kind of humiliation and sufferings that Amelia went through for her sake— the real Annie's sake, that is. For the first time ever, Annie sincerely thought of protecting someone like Amelia. She planned to treasure and cherish Amelia like a special gold she never had, because she had never in her life seen someone as devoted as Amelia. Amelia was just too selfless for her liking. And someone like Amelia won't be able to survive in this world on her own. Annie suddenly held Amelia's hand, causing Amelia to gasp in disbelief. Honestly, Amelia tried slipping her hand away from Annie, but Annie wasn't at all ready to let go. Soon after, Amelia froze upon seeing the way Annie was staring at her. Amelia's heart suddenly began beating rapidly as she felt the surrounding time stop completely, causing everything to look stiff to her view. "It's alright Amelia…. I'm here with you. And I promise not to let anything, or even anyone, ever lay a finger on you. You're not just a lowly and low-ranked vampire you think of yourself as. Instead, you're a special treasure who could even melt a wicked person's heart. From now onward, I'll take you as my sister". Annie admitted. And secretly, she was kinda referring to the wicked person's heart as herself because, in her own world, she was a heartless and destructive human being. And just maybe, her sudden transmigration to this new world wasn't such a bad thing after all. Amelia felt her eyes getting heavy because of the heavy tears that were piled up inside both of them. Not being able to control her emotions, Amelia released her hand from Annie's grip— before using the same hands to hug Annie as she cried out so bitterly. "My lady, your words were the nicest thing a person has ever said to me in my entire life. Thank you so much for caring for an orphan like me!". Amelia added as she whimpered and drenched Annie's dress with her tears."It's okay Amelia. I get what you mean". Annie patted Amelia's back as she said. Annie didn't know the reason why, but her face darkened with hatred as her eyes saw all the scars that were on Amelia's body. She hated the ones who did this to Amelia. With the help of the real host's memory, Annie clearly remembered how Amelia got those scars. She remembered how Amelia used her body to shield the real host— when she was being attacked by none other than Aria, Gael and Mila, including her father and others too. 'What kind of person was the real host? To the extent that she got bullied by others, and it caused her death!. If this were me, I'd never have let anyone dare to bully me!'. Annie thought and hissed afterward. Finally, Amelia stopped sobbing as she released the hug. Although Amelia knew that her actions were bold, she hoped that Annie didn't mind the way she had hugged her because— it was improper for a servant like her to hug her Master. Staring straight at Amelia's ey
"Why are you staring at me like that?". Annie asked as she noticed the way Amelia was staring at her absent-mindedly. Amelia was in a serious thinking mood because of what Annie previously said to her, but she suddenly snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Annie's voice speak to her again. "Em, My Lady, are you perhaps hurt somewhere?". Amelia suddenly asked Annie this question because she was certain that there was no possible way– that Annie could just have escaped from Bernard and Arnold. "Huh?. What's wrong with you, Amelia? How can I be hurt?". Annie asked Amelia, who was dumbstruck. "I'm sorry, My Lady. It's just that, I couldn't believe you were able to escape those two vampires". Amelia admitted before she added, "Are you angry at me, my Lady?". "Of course I'm not mad at you, but I will be if you don't keep your mouth shut". Annie announced to Amelia. Amelia talks way too much that it was already affecting Annie in the head. "Sure, My Lady…. Anything you say". A
Annie later focused her attention on Ethan and Mila. "Father, are you scared of your beloved daughter? What about you, Mother? Oh, I just remembered... You're not my Mother". Annie's voice showed how mocking she was being at Ethan and Mila. "Don't you dare talk to my Mother in that rude way, Annie!". Aria gathered her courage as she announced. After all, to Aria, wasn't this still the same Annie she used to torture and bully? "I like this sudden courage in you, Aria". Annie's expression darkened after she said this. She further continued to speak, "I wonder what would happen to you if I took that courage away from you". "Enough of all this!". Ethan has had enough of Annie. "Alright.... You can all go away now, since that's enough". Annie announced to Ethan. "You!!". Lord Ethan yelled out at Annie, angrily. Mila saw that Annie was distracted, so she decided to use this rare opportunity that she had, immediately!. With full force, Mila drained the whole energy inside of her and u
The two feared Vampires, each holding their mythical weapons, suddenly came to a halt. The other vampires who were waiting anxiously for these two particular vampires to leave– all shivered in fear when they saw them both halted. "The scent of that young vampire lady…. It has faded!". Arnold said. His voice showed how frustrated he was... If they don't find and bring that vampire lady to Lord Davis, it will cost their lives. "I can't believe that this happened!. How did that young vampire have the ability to hide her scent?!". With anger boiling throughout his whole body, Bernard uncontrollably unleashed his dark powers with full force. They must bring that young vampire lady to Lord Davis…. Or else, Lord Davis would kill them for sure if they didn't. But how do they even begin– now that the female vampire's scent has already faded?!. Loud coughing took place on the other side of the road. The other vampires weren't strong enough, so they all got affected by Bernard's dark powe
"That was awesome! You are so cool, my lady!". Amelia couldn't hold in her excitement and complimented Annie. She couldn't believe that Annie was now a stronger match for Lord Ethan, Aria and Mila. "I know that I'm cool, Amelia. I've always known that". Annie simply stated with a proud face. Soon, she smirked wickedly as she continued to talk, "They should all watch out for me because a new Annie is back. I'm not going to be that naive Annie they all knew!". Amelia giggled after hearing what Annie said. To her, today seemed like a dream come true. Anyway, staring at Annie's dress, Amelia saw that it was already unwearable due to how dirty and uneven it was in height and length. So she said to Annie, “My lady, your dress, you have to change it". "Yeah, you're right, Amelia. I also have to take my bath". Annie admitted before she squeezed her face in disgust. Some part of her totally hated this dress. ‘This dress is so not my style. How do these vampires even manage to wear this nonse
The atmosphere outside was pretty cold. Most of the vampires shivered in fear just by stealing glances at both Arnold and Bernard's faces. Arnold and Bernard both walked elegantly, their faces showed no emotions and were straight, even their eyes were fierce. The road was cleared for both of them because no single vampire dared to stand in their way. If that ever happens, they would only end up getting hurt by Arnold and Bernard. Plus, Arnold and Bernard didn't ask for directions anymore because they had combined their powers to create a great force like never before. And with the help of the great force, they were able to recover Annie's lost scent again. “We're close, Arnold. Let's get this done properly this time”. Bernard announced and couldn't hide the smirk which suddenly appeared on his face. Arnold nodded at Bernard as he continued to walk together with him. Soon, both Bernard and Arnold wore a satisfied grin on their faces as they couldn't wait to have their reve
‘One thing I know for sure: I'm not a traitor to my Lady! And I'll never be a traitor to my lady. I won't tell you where my lady is!’. Amelia thought to herself, because she had already lost the energy to speak out. Just a moment ago, when she was about getting food for Annie, she spotted Arnold and Bernard– but suddenly, her body strangely stiffed, making it difficult for her to move. And because she wasn't able to run, she was attacked by Bernard, who blasted her with his power and sent her flying up in the midair– until her body hit the ground. Ever since then, Bernard had been torturing her while demanding Annie's whereabouts. "Amelia!!!". A panicked voice echoed, causing everyone to stare at whom the voice belonged to. There was horror in Annie's face as she rushed over and knelt beside Amelia. Seeing Amelia in this miserable state made Annie angry to the core. Her killing instinct suddenly became active and the veins in her neck popped out. With a darkened face and fierce
A minute later, Annie left with Amelia. That was when Bernard and Arnold struggled, and finally – they rose up. Ethan got up too and immediately ran to Mila's side. He carried her and was breathing heavily since her health wasn't stable. To be fair, this should be the second to third time today– that Mila was being brutally hit– by Annie. “Aria, don't be a weakling and get up! Go get a healer for your mother, immediately! After that, find your big brother and have him return home!”. Ethan ordered before he hurriedly left with his wife, who he was carrying in his arms. After hearing her father's words, Aria groaned in pain and stood up. She didn't waste time and ran to do what her father had ordered her to do. Bernard and Arnold saw the road which Annie had followed, so they also passed through there. Their hands were placed on their injured chests as they walked side by side. It wasn't long, and for the first time ever, they arrived at Annie's own manor, which was also connec
With only 18 minutes left, Morris prepared the potion as fast as he could. A faint smile appeared on his pale face as he stared at the potion which he was holding in his hands.Exactly when Morris the healer was about to feed the potion to Mila, who was unconscious, Ethan snatched the potion from his hand, and there was also a darkened expression on Ethan's face. “You can leave now, healer. I'll feed the potion to my wife by myself”. Ethan declared. “But-”. Morris immediately stopped talking because of the way Ethan was glaring at him. He bowed his head at Ethan and said, “I’ll take my leave now”. After Morris left Mila's room, Ethan went and sat down on the bed next to Mila. He fed her the potion, and even though she was currently unconscious, she drank it all. Ethan kept the cup aside and was deep in thought, as a result of what happened a few minutes ago. {Earlier}Annie halted and turned to Ethan. She had a proud smile on her face as she said to him, “I'll say this once, E
Morris was feeling anxious, but he had to compose himself so that they would stop staring at him with suspicious eyes. He said calmly, “Lord Ethan, I am simply worried about Madam Mila because time is running out. Nothing else”. Ethan sighed deeply. He gritted his teeth and frowned, as he quarrelled with Morris, “I know that time is running out, healer! But other than confronting Annie and dealing with her for causing harm to my wife, what do you want me to do?!”.“I-”. Morris didn't know what to say to Ethan. He could only grit his teeth in secret, as he began to harbor an unquenchable resentment towards Annie. “Did I hear someone mention my name? Or was I hallucinating?”. Everyone had to focus their attention on Annie, who spoke. Standing beside Annie was Amelia. It was now that they had both returned to the mansion from the forest. Their whole bodies were dirty. They had to return home in a hurry because Annie couldn't wait to take a bath. “There you are. You wretched daughter
As Annie and Amelia arrived in the forest, they began to search for wild berries, which was apparently the last ingredient they needed. It didn't take them more than an hour, and they found many wild berry trees. Annie couldn't wait for Amelia, because Amelia was slower than she at plucking the wild berries. So, she climbed one of the wild berry trees, and plucked as many wild berries as she could.But come to think of it, wasn't Amelia's slowness due to her external injuries? “My lady, the wild berries are enough. It's plenty, and they cannot all be used for the potion”. Hearing what Amelia said to her, caused Annie to go down from the tree without hesitation. She couldn't wait to return to the manor, because she wanted a quick bath. Her body was very sweaty and dirty! And she hated that so much. “Gather all the wild berries, Amelia. We're leaving after that”.“I'm on it, my lady”. Amelia replied and giggled, before she went to do as she had been ordered. Lord Ethan's manor,Th
“Ouch! That hurts!”. Annie exclaimed and was massaging her forehead that had hit the forehead of the other person. The guy who Annie had crashed into was also massaging his forehead. He hissed and frowned because he felt a sharp pain in his head. His hand was on his forehead while he said to Annie, “Didn't you see me before you crashed into me, young lady? Is there something wrong with your eyes? I'm now injured, and it's all thanks to you alone”. Annie marvelled after being blamed by the guy who was about her age. She positioned both her hands on her waist and was staring at him in disbelief. “Why are you blaming me? What about you? What happened to your eyes? Didn't you see me? Why did you crash into me? Now because of you, my forehead hurts like crazy!”. “You!”. The handsome guy pointed a finger at Annie. Being scolded by the guy prompted Annie to confidently raise her chin, before she replied to him, “Yes, me what?!”. Amelia was helplessly watching the two, who were busy arg
On their way to the mountains, Amelia was feeling extremely bothered. She badly wanted to ask Annie, who was in front of her, a question. Annie was a strong vampire, and because of this, she was able to read Amelia’s inner emotions. Without bothering to look at Amelia, she asked her, “What is it, Amelia? Why are you troubling yourself?”.Amelia was surprised because of Annie's question. ‘How did lady Annie know I was troubled?’. She mused. She didn't want to keep Annie waiting, causing her to reply, “My lady, I don't understand. Why did you make those suggestions to the advisors of Lord Davis? They are dangerous. So, why would you allow someone dangerous to stay with us in the manor?”. A sudden smile appeared on Annie's face after listening to Amelia's curious questions. She understood what was in Amelia's mind, and equally understood her fears. “Amelia, let me ask you a question”. Annie said to her. She stopped walking and turned to face Amelia, who was behind her, before she aske
Annie spent many minutes reading the 'spell book', and wow, she loved it. Like, everything written in the book was just so unreal to her. After many minutes had passed, Annie made a decision to go up into the mountains and find ingredients for the external healing potion. “Amelia, I've told you for the last time, you're not going to follow me to the mountains. You're still hurt. Just stay here, and my strong barrier will keep you safe”. Annie furrowed her eyebrows after she had said. Amelia was being so stubborn. “Bu- but my Lady, I won't feel okay with you going up to the mountains. Please, just let me follow you”. Amelia pleaded and wasn't ready to back down no matter what. “Remember, before your Mom left this world, I promised her that I'd look after you and protect you”. Amelia added. Annie stared at Amelia from head to toe before she thought to herself, ‘You, protect me? Look at this little girl’. After thinking, Annie said to Amelia, “I'm older than you, so I'm the one who'
Annie went outside her manor. She was about to remove the barrier she had set– when, suddenly, she noticed both Arnold and Bernard's presence. “Gosh, won't these two give up and leave me alone?”. Annie muttered in annoyance, as she was already tired of those two vampires. Annie knew that if she removed the barrier she had set, then both Arnold and Bernard would come inside her manor for sure. And at the same time, she was hungry and must pass through the barrier to get to the food storage. “What am I going to do? I don't have enough strength to fight anyone again”. Annie muttered once more. She wanted to give up and return inside, but thinking about how she'd sleep with an empty stomach– caused her stomach to growl even more hungry than before. After sighing deeply, Annie began thinking, ‘If I used this front entrance, they'd surely know that the barrier had been removed. But, if I jump through the side wall, they won't know’. After thinking, Annie nodded her head. Before Anni
