"I-I'm sorry, Sydney. I shouldn't have asked." I said worried.He looked at me, surprised. She laughed forcedly. He blew air and shook my head."I-It's fine. You're really young!" He stood up so I frowned. "I'm going to go up first and rest. Don't leave too much, okay?"I stared at her, not long, not fast. I know something's going up on her mind. I know she will just cry in her room. I don't want to bother him.I sighed and nodded to him, he came to me and hugged me. When he pulled away, he went straight inside. No looking around. Not a single word.I just shook my head and stood up from sitting on that long bamboo. I was still closing my eyes when the sunlight suddenly hit my face.When I woke up. I can see how the vampires run under the tree or where they can take shelter.Montegracia's.I'm fine like that. Looking at everyone, when I suddenly felt something.I looked to my right when I smelled something there. I frowned, but it didn't last long.My favorite scent!Hunter is here. I
"I just thought that, it can help you ease your boredom here." He said. "And.... I want you to feel, the life you have been feeling back then, in the mortal world." I cried and looked at him. The next scene was abrupt. I took some steps closer to him. With my arms wide open. I hugged him tightly, tight enough to make him feel my happiness. My heart is throbbing so bad, and I know he can feel it. "Thank you so much, Hunter Matteou." I whispered. I can feel the stiffness of his body. Maybe because of my sudden action. "I like the way you say my name." He huskily. I smiled widely again before moving away from him. I have to do that for a while, because otherwise. I might not be able to handle it. Maybe my heart can't take it. "Who told you to change your name?" I asked him with a smile. It's true, his name is so beautiful. Hunter Matteou Shaffer. Wealthy, Unique, Cool, Men come here. He looked at me intently. "You." I raised an eyebrow at him. Surprised and suspicious at the s
"What is this meeting for, Henry?" Glazilda who was obviously sleepy. His eyes were puffy, and he was still yawning."I didn't call for today's meeting." Henry leaned back in the chair with his arms crossed over his chest and looked directly at Glazilda.My eyes narrowed, is there something different about him or am I just delusional? It's as if his posture is relaxed now. Not that he's not handsome these past few weeks, it's like he's just as fresh as he looks now.Is it because of his shaved mustache? His beard?"Who then?" Glazilda snorted. "You disturbed my rest. I also spent several days fixing the mountain for soil and plants, without sleep or rest.""Shut up, wolf! You're being too loud." Sydney promised with a frown.I immediately shook my head, there they were again. Open if open."You shut up, you don't belong!" Glazilda came back to him."Don't worry it won't last." Aaron laughed beside me.Looks like he's looking forward too, huh? I patted him on the shoulder and looked at
"Tell me, why can't you support me?" I asked and looked at Hunter.Seeing that he was looking at me, I returned it to Sydney."Am I that hard to trust in this matter, huh!? I can do it! Why can't you support me!?"I held Sydney by the arm, causing her to wake up."Tell me! Why can't you just support me!" I screamed, it was difficult.Don't they have confidence? Is it because of what happened when my vampire status came out?She looked at me with burning eyes."You want to know, Celeste!?" He challenged.I stared at him."Sydney." Hunter finally behaved. She seemed surprised by the woman's sudden challenge to me."What do I need to know!?" Wrinkled when I asked.Sydney grinned. He was scary to look at, as if he was afraid of nothing."Love, No." Aaron and Henry scold.My eyebrows met even more. Why are they like this? Is there anything I need to know?"Tell me, Sydney. What is it?""Celeste, stop it!" Aaron ordered but I didn't look at him.I looked at Sydney, her cheeks and eyes were
I heard Sydney's sob, but I didn't look at her. I knew Henry was there to accompany him.I must have been in that position for a few minutes, in the arms of the person I love.When Sy suddenly spoke."There are only two solutions to everything!""You fucked up, retarded bitch!" Sydney shouted in the middle of sobs.Henry immediately grabbed it just as he rushed at Sy, Jillan also took action to stop the plants that came out and it was obvious that Sy would suddenly be surrounded."What did you say?" I pulled away from Hunter and looked at the woman again."Baby...""Celeste, don't listen to her."Aaron and Sydney spoke at the same time but I ignored them."Your blood, your flesh, and your soul. This is all that is needed to change fate, it is connected to Aaron's vision."My heart stopped beating, I think I ran out of air."Y-You mean?" I stammered.Sy closed her eyes intently, and when she opened her red eyes welcomed mine."The only way out at all is if you defeat them and kill them
"But...." She started. "Henry was only chosen by your Mother, he is not really destined to be Chief guardian. You are Alondra's son. Maria's blood and flesh. Being Chief belongs to you. No element or Immortal can insult you. Death and torture will be the punishment." Because of what he said, I remembered Norma and Jeriza. Jeriza I know is in the west now. I gave him a second chance. He was there guarding the area in case Janra's camp attacked. While Norma? I don't know where she is now. If he's still alive, I hope he'll regret everything he's done. "Then, as the Lord Sentinel." I looked at her, seriously. "I command you, to be civil with me. To act like my friend, not as my fellow. Be normal, talk to me normally." Again he was stunned, he tried to speak but his mouth was closed again. I laughed. "I told you, Jillan. You're my friend now. You're now my family. And I won't accept that attribute, I swear!" He stared at me for a while. I smiled in a serious and sincere way. It wasn't
I swallowed. It's scary, "I need to stop this, can you help me?""I can, Chief guardian. It's a privilege to help you…."I breathed a sigh of relief, thank you! Thank you!"But..." He tilted his head as if studying me."But, what?" Jillan asked."Why would you delete it if you didn't want to do it?"Immediately frowning, I looked into his eyes. "What are you talking about? That's why I came here to stop that."His smile grew even wider, his black teeth came out because of that. "That's not what I see in you...""What do you mean, Old Tourist?" I asked a question."I feel how your heart celebrates every time you beat together. How your mind is given a double life, by feeling his beat."I didn't answer, he was right. I feel so healthy whenever I feel his heart.I tasted, "I need to end this."The reaction on his face remained. Terrible. "Can you give me an excuse?"Reason? Is that still necessary?"And why should I tell you my private reason?"The smile on his lips disappeared when he p
"Celeste?" I heard an emotional voice coming from the door so I turned to it just to see Sydney, with teary eyes... Looking at me. She ran through my place. I smiled. As expected, I gathered a big warm hug from her. "I'm so sorry, Celeste. I was worried about you!" I smiled at him, I don't want to ask him if now that we are good he will let me make my decision..... But I know the answer. "Let's go home, I'm so tired." I felt her hug even tighter, this is how my mom hugs me eveytime I feel afraid, I feel sad, I feel happy. The same love. That same day we left the room I was staying in. Sydney was no longer worried about my condition because Jillan was staying at home with us. While heading our way out of the house, almost all the wolves and vampires I pass are bowing. Even those who have important things to do are fine, they don't even dare to look into my eyes. If I didn't know the camp routine and the laws of the immortals, I would have asked the two comrades why they looked li
I heard them groan, their connection with each other. I jumped when I got a hint. I leaned on a tree above and watched their loud collision. They lay on the floor because of the impact. I jumped into Jillan's place. Maybe sensing what I was going to do, he looked up and his eyes widened. He left the position, and raised the bow, he even loved me first and immediately let go of the arrow. I dodged it, choosing to cling to another lower length of wood. His attacks continued, I didn't do anything other than just avoid. I continued to touch the trees, only to leave immediately when they were hit by his liquid arrows. I immediately jumped to the second floor. I looked down at where Hunter was. I almost fainted when I saw how well Janra sent him an acid arrow. I adjusted the tayo and also sent it flying so that their hits met, resulting in a strong explosion. It was only a few feet away from Hunter, so I breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at me, I pointed Janra. He then followed me an
I taught him. "Shut up! I'm not a burden!" His eyes widened a little. He was surprised by what I said and backed away a little. I lowered my hand and angrily looked at that wolf.... But Sydney was already holding him by the neck and the woman was already riding on his back. "You freaking shit! You really beat me in the mud!" I looked at Jillan but she was just laughing while looking at Sydney's angry face. Sydney broke his neck then, and when he was sure he was dead he jumped to the ground. He patted himself and looked at Jillan irritated. "Why did you even pull me!?" Jillian giggled. "Hold me, it's only natural." Sydney tormented him. I wanted to laugh out loud when I saw Sydney's dress covered in mud. I quickly looked in front when I heard several growls. From that darkness, plenty of eyes lit up. I frowned watching it until they came out and showed themselves. I estimate that there are only over thirty people there and they obviously want to attack us now. "Your mother...
"Let me come with you, Celeste." I sighed. I felt Jillan's gaze at me but I didn't look at her. "It's not possible, Glazilda." I could feel him sitting next to me so I looked at him, I could feel his persistence just by looking. "I can fight, Celeste. You know that." I looked back at my dagger, what does he want me to do? Shall I let him come with us? "I can fight. I can easily kill twenty wolves in just a second." I stopped wiping my weapon. I stared at it for a moment before turning to Glazilda. "You're pregnant." I said. "You know how vulnerable wolves are when they're in that situation. Are you willing to consider your own child for this?" He suddenly closed his mouth. "Because if yes, I will let you go. I will accompany you. That is if you want to lose your son with Henry." Her body solidified. It was as if he was clarified and held his stomach, I hope he can at least think that it is not easy for me to leave him. We don't have almost everyone, the only people left her
"How is Glazilda?" Sydney asked upon entering. I didn't say a word, I stared at the sleeping Glazilda right here in my room. Her face looked so angelic. "How do we tell him?" Jenger. I still didn't answer, as if I was consumed by sadness. I hurt for Glazilda. If only I could take her pain away, I will. "She's pregnant, Jillan. It's going to hurt her." I looked at Glazilda's stomach and gently touched it, I smiled. She was pregnant and she didn't know it. That explains her sundden changed of mood, how she ate different foods, her being straight with me, especially with Henry, her sensitivity to everything. Don't worry, baby. I'll take care of you when you get out. I will treat you like my real son, just like your Mother loves me. "Celeste, why are you holding my tummy?" I immediately looked at Glazilda when I heard talk, thank god she is alive! Thank you, thank you! I immediately stood up and gave her a hug, I hugged her tightly even though her surprised look remained. "Hey,
"Celeste, what day is it?" Jillan asked me.Today is Aaron and Glazilda's wedding day. We are all dressed up decently, and just like Glazilda wanted, I wore the Champaign dress she was forcing on me. We are here at his grade and he is the only one waiting.He said he wanted to do it here since the place is closer and better."Tuesday." He didn't answer and looked up at the sky. I frowned. "Why?"She looked at me, constipatedly. He seems nervous. What else can he think about?"What date is it today?"My forehead furrowed even more, I took out my cellphone from my pouch and looked at the festival."14, September 14."He nodded at me and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead."Jillan, what's the matter?"He didn't answer me and looked at the sky again."Jillan?"He looked down at me. Her eyes were not normal, she was restless."I feel something different, Celeste. I don't know what it is. My heart is breaking and I don't know why."I kept staring at him, I can't deny that I was terr
"How about this?" She got up in a champagne dress, it was long and if measured it would reach my feet. It was so simple to look at, just right for me. "I want the black one, Glazilda." Boredly I said. He insisted that I not wear the black dress I chose, why is it beautiful, ah? "Celeste, for goodness sake! You're going to attend a wedding not a party!" Henry held him by the shoulder so he looked at him. "Let her be." I grinned. Because the dress is really beautiful, only the bride can really choose it. "What let her be, Henry? I will not let, Celeste. Wear that dress!" Henry looked at him giving up immediately, because of that. He let go of Glazilda and looked at me as if there was nothing he could do. Under! "It's a formal dress, Glazilda." He raised an eyebrow at me. "It is a formal dress....but it's a wedding, that's not a good look." I held my breath. I know that, I just really wanted to make fun of him. As time goes on, Glazilda becomes more grumpy. It's been two wee
I walked after him. He didn't speak. "Aaron, where are you going?" I kept following him like a dog, if anyone was looking at us I would look like a fool for what I was doing. But I won't miss it. "Aaron, can I come with you?" Every step he took increased, so my speed doubled. If I slow down, he will surely leave me. I grabbed his arm so he stopped again. "Aaron-" I didn't finish what I was going to say because he suddenly turned to me, what I see in him now while looking at me is annoyance. "That's disrespectful, Chief guardian. I have to go, please let me go!" I was stunned. This is the first time I saw him acting like this in front of me. In the past, he didn't pay attention to me, yes. But shouting like this? He has never done this to me. Tears formed in my eyes. I never imagined him being like this to me. Maybe when he saw my appearance he was stunned. I can see the gradual change in his expression. "I really have to leave, go back to your mansion." He turned away after
"Celeste, can I talk to you?" I turned to Glazilda at the door, took down the clothes I was holding and kissed her. "Why?" I asked when he sat next to me on my bed. He smiled at me and took my hand, he looked up at me and removed the hair that was covering my face. "You look exactly like Alondra." I winced. It's probably my mother, this girl is really crazy. "You know, I was so happy when I found out that Alondra was pregnant." My eyes narrowed as I stared at him, there was something different about him. She is blooming so much now, why is that? "I was the first to know that your Mother was pregnant before Jethro Isaac.... I was so happy knowing that you'll be someone I will cherish the most." Her eyes sparkled like a magic dust, even if she didn't tell me I knew she was happy while saying that. "But.... I was also the saddest when we found out your family had to leave to hide you." She sighed. "I was scared, I was scared for you, I wanted to go against Alondra's decision be
"Why on earth are you here? Isn't it dangerous?" When I change the topic because of embarrassment. "This is the place where I know we are safe..... Away from greedy and abusive people." Is she belonging to those fishermen who use dynamite for fishing? "Before...wherever we went, they could follow us. Even in the corner, they could find us." I don't know people nowadays, are becoming so violent... They can fish without understanding and destroy others. "What I will never forget is the death of my Mother and Father, because of the stabbing they received from a fisherman.... We let them fish even though they should, if their boat came close to our place it was a death sentence. But we did not speak, we remained silent despite the fear." I really wanted to ask her if those glitters around her eyes were real? Maybe it's because they don't put on make-up in the sea, right? After all, maybe they didn't know then. "But, that was the most wrong decision we made.... One of the fishermen
