It was as if my heart was breaking as I ran through the forest. It hurts. It hurts so much. I felt betrayed, betrayed by my father.
It was only two months when mommy died in a car accident but Dad already found a replacement.
I was just a child in his eyes so I had nothing to say and do.
I run into the forest, this is the black forest. Daddy doesn't want me to come here. It is dangerous in this area because many wild animals are scattered, especially at night. But here I am running, and I felt free.
Even now I just want to disobey my father. Because of the pain, I feel.
I can still hear the loud music from our mansion. Tonight’s my father’s engagement party. And because I don’t want to witness him happy with another woman, I went here.
It's tiring to pretend to be happy. I may be laughing but the truth is my heart is breaking. My lips can lie but my eyes can’t. My mom once told me that I have the most expressive eyes. That whatever my feelings are reflected by my eyes. I smiled bitterly. I remember her again.
I stopped running when I heard a crack.
"Is someone there?" I nervously asked anyone who was there. It was as if my heart wanted to go out as the sound got closer and closer.
But I breathed a sigh of relief to see just one more rabbit. Rabbits are cute and cute are harmless. Right?
I immediately approached it and loaded it. But all of a sudden it ran.
I just gasped. "I'm so bad at this." None of my complaints. I go for a walk again in case I see it again.
The forest is bright because of the moon. When I look at it, it is so beautiful. It is as if when you stare it attracts you. He seems to be taking and healing the pain I feel now.
I just keep walking. Moments later I suddenly laughed. I'm going crazy. "No one else does it but me." maybe someone who sees me will say I'm crazy. But no one dares to enter this forest well, except me.
I already enjoy seeing a dog. “Oh. I love dogs! ” I said and approached it. He is a very unusual dog. Could it be that it’s a wolf? let’s just hope it’s not.
I was going to take him when he suddenly got angry and moaned and that’s where my eyes got bigger. A few moments later he suddenly chased me.
“Mommy !!” I shouted in the middle of the forest. I'm crying.
I was still stumbling, my heels I do not know where I left. I can only think of one thing that will save this dog! And one thing is for sure. My foot hurts!I could no longer bear the fear and just cried. "I don't love dogs anymore!" I said as I wiped away my tears.
“Tss. What a crybaby. ” I heard a man say. Assuming he was a ghost I suddenly shouted and ran.
Now I am running because of two reasons, first the dog and then the man. Dad’s right, this is place is dangerous!
"Will you calm down and stop running child?" I'm already thirteen crazy! I don't know but I suddenly followed him.
"The dog is coming." I panicked. "It's just a dog." Why the hell am I talking to this man again?
He suddenly looked at the dog and approached it. Isn't he scared? And most of all, why did he get there so fast?
“What are you?” I whispered but he suddenly turned to me and answered. "I'm a Vampire."
His eyes became red. And there is only one thing I want to do is run, again. But before I could run he’s already in front of me. My heart is pounding. I was scared of him. He is scary.
“Your heart is beating so fast. Are you nervous? ” I shook in response. I do not know but I suddenly weakened and fell.
"I'm sorry but you won't remember what happened tonight. Let our path cross again in the future, Amelia Morgan. ”
And after that night, Amelia only remember the moment he went to the forest but not when she met a stranger. But she knows, she knows that something’s off.
Chapter 19: Disagree“What the hell is that witch doing here?”“Tone down your voice, she might wake up.”“Have you gone nuts Nicolas? That’s the fucking queen of the witches! And then hell you’re dating her?!”I woke up because of the noise. It seems like someone is in the house. It’s a girl I supposed. I was awake but didn’t open my eyes. I want to know more.“Please tell me you’re just using her!” the girl told him.I was taken aback about what she said. What does she mean by that? That Nic is just using me? For what?I didn’t hear any reply from Nic. Instead it feels like the girl was drag outside by Nicolas.I opened my eyes. We’re just starting and yet there are so many issues already. First, who’s that girl? And second, what does she mean by Nic’s using me?I couldn’t help but doubt Nicolas’ love for me.His parent
Chapter 18: TreatWe are now on his kitchen both seated at their dining table because I am treating his wounds.“Ouch!” he winced the moment the medicine has touched his skin. I rolled my eyes at him.“You’re a vampire this kind of pain is nothing.”“This is different, my love.” I suddenly stop treating his wounds because of the endearment he just called me.“W-what… did you just called me?” I ask him obviously stuttering because my heart is beating erratically.His forehead creased. “My love? Why? Does it make you uncomfortable?” I shook my head.“Nope, it’s just that it feels so foreign. It’s been a long time since someone called me that.”His face became soft. “Really?”I laughed. “Really. Because they are all flings and sometimes no strings attach.” I shrugged the moment I finish my sentence.His face became da
Chapter 17I woke up from the sound of my ringing phone. Without glancing who was the caller I answered it.“Hello?” my voice a bit hoarse.“Amelia, can you go to the mansion right now?”“I’m sorry but who’s this?”I am still yawning. My mind is still somewhere else. But the caller really have the guts to call me at 2 am.“It’s Greta.”“Oh yeah hi! What’s up?”“Can you go to Nicolas tonight? He really needs your help.” She sounded so worried so I immediately said ok and went to the garage and get my car.The cold breeze of wind enveloped in my body the moment I stepped outside my car.I looked up to the grand Victorian mansion in front of me. I sighed. I am not supposed to be here. If Natalia will know I’m doomed. But hearing Greta’s voice makes me worry so much about Nic.“What’s happening?” I ask her th
Chapter 16As the waves crashes and laps, the nervousness crept into my system. I am now embracing the real me – a witch. A woman who can do something to change our world. To bring peace and harmony to the world that I am living once and for all.Vampires and witches are enemies yesterday, now and even tomorrow. The burning rage if one sees the other is always there. It was like we were made to despise each other. To despise our kind. But now that I’ve think about it, we are just the same. We can’t tell people what we really are because that might put us to danger.And I wanted peace, not by killing them but making them our allies. Vampires deserve to live in this world. They are judge because they fed on blood. But it’s also our fault because we had made what they are right now – monsters.And to think that Nicolas is one of them it breaks my heart. Every witch that is born is destined to kill a vampire. It’s who we are. But h
Amelia’s POVI went home to get some clothes because I didn’t bring any. Dad is still unconscious, the doctor said that he will wake up any time soon and I don’t know if it’s better if I’ll be there or won’t.Wandering in the house alone, I can really tell the difference of the aura here and Nicolas’. He’s house just gave me security that no one can harm me there. Maybe because he was there? I wonder what’s he’s reaction the moment he reads my note. Will he go berserk, but I doubt. Who cares about me anyway?Even my own father thinks that I’m a trash. So what more to Nicolas whom I just met lately?I went to the kitchen and I can sense that something’s burning. It smells like a plastic. Out of panic, I put some clothes above it but I just made it worse!I stared at the fire and it feels like it’s calling me. Telling me to touch it and so I did.And the moment I touched it, the
Chapter 14Amelia’s POV“Where’s your brother?” I ask Nic when we were already in the dining area but I can’t still feel his brother’s presence.“He went home last night.”“Home?”“Yea he has his own house.” Wow they’re really rich.“He won’t come back?”“He will, when he miss annoying me.”“You’re cute.”“Tsk.”I laugh at his reaction.“I think I’m going to go home already.”“What?!”“I’m going home I think Dad’s cooled down I mean it’s been a week and I don’t want to bother you anymore.”“Really?” is his only reply. He’s not okay with me leaving?I tried to ignore him first and because I wasn’t able to get a book from the library maybe they exist in the internet right? Somewhere that
