Aaric really couldn't figure out how else he should deal with this woman. Anything about this woman just sucked in short. He couldn't even imagine how the real Drake could put up with her all through their secret relationship.
If it weren't for the fact that Aaric still needed this body for a really long time, then he wouldn't have bothered with a woman like Ellen.
This woman was unreasonably sensitive and difficult to control when emotions overwhelmed her. But maybe Aaric could take advantage of this, considering how much Ellen loved Drake.
"You are lying!" Ellen shouted hysterically. Aaric frowned, he couldn't let this woman attract unnecessary attention from their surroundings. "You are trying to avoid me! Tell me what I did wrong!”
Aaric's thoughts of using Ellen in this situation almost disappeared as soon as Ellen acted like a crazy woman and started behaving unreasonably yet again.
<Mila was returned to this phase again, where she didn't even know when was the last time she was fully consciousness or where she was now.She felt that her head was very heavy while her vision became blurry due to the bright light that was unceremoniously directed at her.Her body felt stiff and she couldn't move, but maybe it was because of the safety binds around her, which wrapped around Mila like a big snake or maybe it was because of the high doses of drugs that were continuously injected into her veins, making Mila unable to distinguish anything around her.Mila didn't even know how long she had been in this state, that was in her coming and going back state of consciousness. She would occasionally see Aaric's figure, in the form of a man named Dr. Drake.But, before she could think any further about this bewildering situation, the darkness would always engulf her like a cocoon and leave her p
#TWENTY- FOUR HOURS BEFORE DR. STEVE MET MILA IN HER ROOM#Steve had just returned from the laboratory. Even after discussing this matter with several higher- ups from the research center that they should agree to exterminate the vampire woman, what he wanted did not go as smoothly as he had hoped.Because most of them agreed with Dr. Drake, that Mila was still very valuable to be the object of their research.She was the only noble member of vampires, whom they have managed to capture during these fifty years and now that the vampire woman had finally regained her consciousness, of course she had become more important as there were some things they couldn't learn while Mila was unconscious.Like for example what was the nature and behavior of the vampires, how they would interact with each other, or how would they react in certain situations.Of course, this information was impo
The two men stared at each other, then toward Aaric who was still standing behind the glass room where the female vampire was still lying unconscious, when they heard Dr. Drake's voice echo in the room again.One of them then walked to the intercom to communicate with Dr. Drake. "But, Dr. Drake, Dr. Steve shouldn't be here. This is a direct order from Dr. Miller.”Yes, some of them were already aware of Dr. Steve’s intentions to get rid of the object of research, which was none other than Mila. Therefore, to avoid unwanted situations, they agreed to not allow Dr. Steve to interfere with the research team until further notice."No problem," Aaric said in a low voice. "We will just talk for a moment."That was what Aaric said, but his eyes were still fixed on the odd shadow that followed Steve. His eyes narrowed sharply and when he saw the unusual subtle movement, he was immediately convinced that his suspicions were true."Are you sure Dr. Drake?” The same man asked him again, not sure
"He gave you the order to look for me?" Aaric asked.Arabella raised an eyebrow and flashed a smile full of mystery. "What do you think?"Instead of giving him a response, she asked him another question in return and this only annoyed Aaric further."Stop playing with words in front of me Arabella," Aaric growled, because he was not in a good mood to deal with his half- sister.But, it seemed that Arabella didn't care at all about that fact and kept rubbing her annoying attitude on him like before.Then with her bloodshot eyes, Arabella glanced at Mila, who was lying unconscious on the bed. "So, she is still alive? I thought she was dead and my mission would be in vain.”“What is your purpose in coming here?” This time, Aaric's voice sounded more direct and deep, indicating seriousness in every word he spoke.On the other hand, Arabella shrugged nonchalantly, but her eyes were still glued to Mila with interest and curiosity which Aaric knew all too well would not end in any pretty way
Ellen, who couldn't read the situation at hand clearly at all, immediately shouted for the two men who were on guard and this immediately broke a commotion in the entire corridor.Coupled with Arabella's presence, of course the atmosphere that had been tense and full of sarcastic exchange between Arabella and Aaric, had now turned a hundred and eighty degrees, thanks to this commotion.“I told you to get out of here,” Aaric hissed harshly at Arabella when he saw that several guards had now filed into the room, carrying stun devices to immobilize creatures that were so foreign to them.It wasn't that Aaric wanted to help Arabella. He didn't even care if his half- sister was caught by them and used as research material like they did with Mila, but what made Aaric feel very uncomfortable was the fact that their people would be exposed just like the vampires.It was enough that these stupid humans only know about the vampires existence without knowing their race, because then their situat
“Arabella…” Aaric said in a quivering voice as the pain overwhelmed his senses and made his eyes glaze over while his breathing became erratic.This wasn't the first time Aaric had experienced this kind of pain, as it wasn't the first time he had been killed while still in a human body, but still, it wasn't a pleasant experience to go through more than once.Especially when he was attacked suddenly without any prior preparation."Yes, it's me..." Arabella replied in a sweet whisper in the ear of Aaric who was dying, not only that, she twisted the scalpel which was still stuck right in Aaric's heart, sending a wave of extreme pain shoot through his entire body. "I like it every time you call my name.""You are crazy," Aaric hissed, trying to push Arabella away, but sadly he couldn't, because his hands couldn't touch her, as if he was just trying to push away a wisp of thick smoke."You know you can't touch me with your pitiful human body," Arabella smiled triumphantly as she watched li
“I am Aaric, Mila munchkin,” Aaric said as he stared intently at Mila and watched the surprise flash through her beautiful eyes, which were the color of the mist. The eyebrows of the woman before him knitted in confusion, but Aaric didn't let go of her hand at all, while Mila didn't have the strength to resist.For a moment, when Mila heard how Dr. Steve called out to her, she felt very familiar with the figure in front of her, but at the same time she felt foreign.The first figure of Aaric that Mila met when he was a staff was the one that made the most impression on her mind, because after that, he possessed the body of Dr. Drake and Mila only saw him for a few moments before she lost control and the people knocked her unconscious for a time that Mila herself didn't know how long.And now, she must see the face of Dr. Steve, what she remembered as a person who wanted herself to be exterminated, because he believed her to be a dangerous existence.But, now that Aaric had entered the
“Not really…” Aaric, or Dr. Steve in this case, spoke slowly. Probably being not so sure of his impromptu plan. But then, he grabbed Mila's wrist and forced her to stand because she wouldn't take his hand on her own accord. "But I certainly know a way out of this place."Mila who heard this could only roll her eyes. Of course Aaric knew the way out of this place, he must have been through this research building hundreds of times, but that wasn't the problem they were facing right now.The problem was, could they get out of this research center without attracting the attention of so many people, while for now, Mila was one of the most important research objects they have."And how are you going to bring me out without them knowing?" Mila asked again. "The thing is I am very popular in this place, don't forget that particular fact."Aaric laughed when he heard Mila's statement. "Yeah, it is a shame that you are so popular in this place and you can't possess other people's bodies like I
“I know that eyes…” Cosmo said in low voice, as she chuckled brightly. “I know that determination to not want to trust me. But I don’t lie when I told you that Mila is in the dungeon. She went to see her lover. What do you think about that?” she taunted the king, but this time, she indeed didn’t lie. “I don’t believe you…” Liam growled dangerously at her, but this creature seemed to not afraid of him at all. “You don’t need to do that,” Cosmo said firmly. “You will never scare me.” The only thing that Cosmo wanted from Liam was for him to bring her here, because even though she looked like Cosmo, but she was not her and whatever she did and no matter what she had done, she would never be able to open this damn door, therefore, she needed to lure him to this place. “So, you fool me because you want to know the knowledge of this place?” Liam asked, the corner of his lips tugged upward when he spoke, but he could only chuckle when Cosmo was smiling at him, which made the dark witch co
“Maybe you are right,” Aaric finally spoke and that was the first thing that he mentioned.“About?” Mila couldn’t understand about what was right about her. “Do you have some idea?” Mila asked expectanly.“I think I have, but I don’t know if this will work or not.” Aaric was hesitated to try this and he didn’t think that it would work, but they needed to try this, right? They needed to make it worked, right?Aaric gritted his teeth, as he tried to cheered himself up because this was very devastating and he didn’t know whether it was right or not to do this. The only thing that he could say was for them to try this.“Whatever it is, it will be better than we don’t do anything and wait for me to disappear like dust,” Mila said, determination in her eyes when she said that. she looked very stunning with her black hair and black eyes.Actually, Aaric loved the way she looked right now, this made her looked more mysterious and beautiful.It was not that she was not beautiful in her white h
“Let’s go.” Liam looked at Mila sternly, but when he tried to take her hand again, she avoided him.“No, let’s see first. They are inside the room.” Mila didn’t want to back down, she insisted for the king to open the door and take a look inside. “This is only for a while, it will not take a minute if they are not here. You are already here, so why don’t you take a look inside the room?”“Why are you so insisting for me to take a look inside?” Liam narrowed his eyes because he couldn’t understand this. “You are so sure that they were inside. How do you know that?”Liam narrowed his eyes to look at her closely because he didn’t believe at all what she was saying right now. How could she know ant insist that they were inside when she didn’t even have any clue about it?“I am sure that they are inside,” Mila insisted, she looked at him with pleading eyes, as she tried to make him understand the situation. “You are already here, why don’t you just humor me and walk into that door to see w
Liam’s gaze hardened when he heard that. “You were attacked?” He looked at her deeply into her eyes when he said this.“Yes, I were attacked, she attacked me and I couldn’t avoid it and the next thing that I know, this is what happen to me.” Mila looked at strands of her hair, as Liam did the same thing.He took strands of her hair and looked at it closely, as he tried to see what kind of magic was there. “What curse that she used on you?” Liam asked in furious tone.He didn’t want anything happened to his wife, they had just married a few hours ago, but the problem had come bombarding them from all direction, how could they avoid this situation?This surely drove Liam crazy just to think about it alone. He really wanted to kill all of those bastards human.But then, this problem came up and he couldn’t ignore it.“We need to go to the forbidden room,” Mila demanded, snapped Liam back to reality because he didn’t respond to her words. “We need to go there before its too late,” she sai
“You know that I am right, right?” Aaric asked her. “You skipped your class.”Pouting, Mila looked at Aaric in disdain look. “I was not skipping class,” Mila said grimly. “I was not paid attention, that’s all.”After saying that, Mila grumbled something under her breath incoherently, meanwhile, Aaric just smiled softly to see her like this.But, his smile faded when he realized Mila’s current situation right now.It was clear to see that her hair and eyes had started to become darker and darker, she didn’t look like herself right now and this was really concerning. He didn’t know what was the right thing to do at this moment, but one thing for sure, this had to be stopped right away or else they would really lose Mila forever.The thought alone left Aaric speechless.For certain level, he could relate Mila’s condition to his own condition, because he didn’t have his own body, his own form, if they lost from this world, it would be only their soul that was left, but in that case, no on
“This is not you, Mila.” Aaric cupped her face and brushed away her tears. “Now, we need to go out from here, okay? If you don’t want to see it, you don’t need to, you can close your eyes and I will lead you out of this room.”Mila nodded, but she didn’t close her eyes just like what Aaric said. “Do you know how to face this curse?” Mila asked, as she was so afraid because her hair started to become even darker than before, she bit her lisp helplessly.If her time passed and there was nothing she could do, what would happen to her? Leaving like a ghost for another decades?Was this that had happened to Cosmo? Was this what happened to her before this? That soemoene had tricked her in this problem and made her lived in that way for another few decades?Mila gritted her teeth she didn’t think this was a nice idea for her to believe this, but then she couldn’t help it. She was afraid about what could happen to her right now.“Don’t be afraid, we can find a way to this problem.” Aaric kis
“Are you okay?” Mila asked, as she approached the cage and when she tried to touch it, she immediately retracted her hands and then watched in fear to the blazing steel.Yes, it didn’t burn Aaric, but the steel was very hot because of the fire beneath it.“This is so hot!” Mila complained she was stunned. She was shocked to realize that Aaric had been there for a long time.How could he endure all of that? was he crazy to be able to put up with that? Mila was not sure what she was thinking right now…“How can you be here?” Aaric started to ask her because there was no way she would be here without any help. “Why are you here?” that was the question that he wanted to ask the most.Actually, there were a few more question that he wanted to ask her, but those two were the most question that he wanted to the answer of.“I am here because I have to be here.” Mila furrowed her brows, this was not the time to ask this question, since they needed to get him out of there.Didn’t he want to go
Mila felt she was so tired, but then when she bent down and her hair slid from her shoulder, she could see her hair was not as white as before. It started to turn grey.The color had started to get darker than before and this made her scared to say the least, because she knew what would come to her after this. How could she do not scare when it came to this.Would she disappear? The thought of it alone made Mila had to grit her teeth and clench her jaw, just in order for her to keep her focus. She needed her focus now and didn’t disarray from her first intention.Yet, it was hard to shake her own worriness, since this was something that she couldn’t deny. Sooner or later, she would disappear, just like how Cosmo told her. Her hair became grey right now, which meant it would be dark black in a few hours again.And at that time, when all of that happened, there was nothing that Mila could do again. There was no turning back from that point.She would doom and if Mila was the only person
It was Cosmo all along, it was her, who wanted to sit on the throne and was crowned as the queen. This was all the curse about. She was the one, who wanted all of this.And Mila just realized it now. it was too late…It was too late for her right now to change anything. How could she be so stupid to just realize it now? but then, who would have thought that this kind of magic was existed and moreover, how could someone like Cosmo became like her?This simply didn’t make any sense and moreover, she had never heard this type of magic at all, not to mention that, even Liam didn’t believe about the existence of the curse. She didn’t believe her about Cosmo, he always thought that she was only her imagination, it was only hallucination.“What is it, Mila? I have not yet answer but the look on your face had told me that you already knew what is my ultimate goal is.” Cosmo tilted her head, she gave this look whenever she looked down on Mila. “Why don’t you say it to me about what is your bes
