I turned to Nicolas. “Hi! Let's go? Sorry, Shan can’t go so it’ll only be the two of us. ” He nodded and pocketed his hands. He’s hot. I give you that. Despite his scary aura. I wonder if she’s got a girlfriend? If he doesn’t, can I apply?
When he turned to me, I turned to the other side, we can’t risk the possibility that he’ll be thinking that I was looking at him! He suddenly laughed. "You're cute." He said and my heart suddenly beat but it also immediately disappeared. I smiled awkwardly at him.
"What do you want to eat?" I asked him even though I feel awkward. Can I just leave him here? "You." He whispered but I did not hear it. "I'm sorry but what is it?" he suddenly coughed and answered. "Whatever." I was confused by what he said. "Ahm… there is nothing on the menu of my favorite restaurant that’s called whatever." I kidded. But he didn't seem to like the joke so I just changed the subject. He’s not much of a talker. Are people like this now?
"Let's just eat ice cream." I suggested to him and he nodded. "You're boring." I am not ashamed to say. I mean it’s true. He’s boring or I am? Maybe not.
"We plan on eating ice cream tonight since I won an award." I chatted with him. Maybe it's okay, right? "What award?" he asked. "Are you an artist?" his innocence added that I laughed out loud. "You can say that." But he did not seem convinced. We finally arrived at the ice cream stall. Just here, it's delicious.
"Is that why you're wearing a gown?" he asked. I just rubbed my forehead. I haven't changed my dress yet. "Yep."
And I remember what happened earlier. The way my father looked at Agnes is the way he looked at my mother before. I smiled bitterly.
"It's my father and his new wife's wedding anniversary." He was surprised when I told him that. He probably wouldn’t have thought I would say that. "You're the daughter of the mayor." It’s a statement, not a question. I nodded at him. Is it a big deal though?
"I see. What’s your favorite ice cream flavor? ” and he even waved the ice cream. He’s cute. But why does it feels like he seems to be forced to do things? Is he like me too?
We talked about things first. He lives in another town. It's just around the corner. Maybe an hour ride? If you’ll be able to get out of the black forest safely then you will get there. Well, that is if you need a shortcut. The highway is not lost."So your parents?" I asked him. Everywhere we talk because I still don't know.
He hesitated before answering. "They're… dead." When he said that, his fists suddenly clenched. He seemed furious. What could have happened? “I’m… I’m sorry. I didn’t know. I shouldn’t have asked. ” I was scared of him. But there is also a part of my heart that I want to comfort and embrace him.
I turned to him but I was surprised when his eyes turned red. WHAT THE HELL? "Your..eyes are r-red." I stammered to him. Is he on drugs? This is what I am saying! Later it was a serial killer. Will he kill me? I hope not.
He closed his eyes and when it opened, the red one disappeared. What was that? Is it just my imagination?
"You can breathe now." Only then did I realize that I was no longer breathing. I think I will die early because of my stupidity. I took a deep breath before speaking.
"Can I go home now?" I asked him carefully. He seemed surprised by what I said. Did he expect to stay with him the whole evening? Well, he just has to beg and I’ll gladly oblige. Kidding!
It will be early in the morning so the breeze is cold. "It's getting late too," I added to him so he could understand. I know that he saved me but that doesn’t mean I will be with him the whole night.
"You don't have to explain." I seem to be shocked when I hear that. Thank god he’s not a killer.
"Good night, Nicolas."
"Good morning Amelia it's nice to see you again."
It was ten o'clock in the morning when I woke up the next day. I also came home late last night or should I say earlier. I’ve been thinking about what he told me, what does he mean by again? I thought we would never meet? That man is also in trouble! I really can’t remember meeting him or maybe I just forgot? as the mayor’s daughter I should be polite to everyone but that doesn’t mean I can’t forget them. And argh! I can’t forget the fact that his eyes turn red. What is he a vampire? Ridiculous. It sent shivers down my spine. But we really can’t deny the fact that he’s handsome. Tsk I only met him and here I am confused because of him.But his voice it’s familiar. Just one type of his words you will follow. But at the same time be afraid because of its depth. Oh, he’s like a sexy devil.
I was going down the stairs when I heard someone laughing at the living room. It must be Agnes and her friends again. The thickness of her face. They were shocked to see me down the stairs. I was shocked when Aunt Alexa was there, she’s my ex-boyfriend's mom’s, and well she doesn’t like me. The feeling is mutual by the way.
I was about to pass them when Agnes called me. Fuck! I turned to her and smiled. "Yes?" I asked Agnes with a fake smile. “Your dad wants to see you, he is in the municipal hall. I nodded and went to the kitchen.
When I got to the kitchen I found my brother eating. "Good morning sister." He greeted me that I just nodded. His name’s Yohan. He’s the fruit of dad’s and Agnes’s obscenity. And like everyone else here I do not pay attention to him either. I wanted to have a brother or a sister yes but not if the mother is Agnes. I know it’s not my brother’s fault, but he’s just the living reminder of dad’s infidelity. He’s already thirteen so he maybe he understand me?
I walked towards my feeling a bit off. But I just shrugged it. I drove to the municipal hall hoping to see a beautiful view. That way I will feel lighter.
When I got there everyone was busy. Someone is already colliding because of the rush. I also have a job but it's not like this, they are serious. They’re working their ass off.
“Amelia! Your dad’s expecting you! ” Janice greeted me. She’s my dad’s secretary. She is a happy person. I think she has been with daddy for a long time. I don't even know how she endured my father's attitude. I am a child who can not stand her own father so how can she? He took me to daddy's office.
I went into dad's office. I know he knew it was me but he didn’t even budge nor look at me. What else is new?
"What is it?" I asked my father as I folded my arms in front of him. I’m already twenty-five and yet here I am acting like a fucking teenager. I was wondering if when will be the time that I’ll be mature. First of all, I don’t want to talk to him and second, it’s still the same."I want you to come home early, if you can make it at six pm then that’s better." I rolled my eyes at him. Oh, so he’s doing his job as a father now? Now that I am old. "And why would I do that?" I asked him, feeling disgusted. I’m a brat and hell I’m not even sorry.“That's all you would say if you just texted or send me a message since technology is there. So we need to use that right? ” I said sarcastically to him. This bond of ours never getting better."Many have been victims of animal attacks." But he just didn't seem to hear my complaints. I am my father's daughter, and well we have the same temperament. I was surprised b
Nicolas.I was just here outside Amelia's clinic, watching her. Creepy, I know but I want to make sure she is safe because we still need her.I know she went to the comfort room but why does she seem to spend so much time there. What is that woman doing there? tsk. I couldn't help but go inside using the window.I opened the door with force and I was shocked to find her lying there, unconscious. I was immediately nervous and tapped her, but she did not wake up. "Fuck." I was just disappointed. I was about to lift her when I heard a car approaching so I turned her around and left using the window.Here I am in the woods, watching Cris lift Amelia. Yup, I know their names even before I met them."See you when I see you, Amelia Morgan." ‘That’s all I said and went home, it was hard for me to catch up with the sun.AmeliaI woke up with a headache. I also can not see anything. Geez, let’s just h
Because I was so curious about who the hell is Nicolas Forbes, I went to their town and to find out that there’s no such person as him. What I met a ghost? A ghost saved me from dying? This is just ridiculous! I mean how is it possible that no Nicolas Forbes lives there? And what’s the purpose of lying? It’s not like I’m going to stalk him now and then.I was so disappointed. I was hoping that I could meet him here. And yeah, I even dressed up. Well, it’s all normal, dressing upright? Geez, there’s no use.I decided to stop by an ice cream store but I remembered Nicolas again so I decided to go with him. But ice cream is tempting so I decided to eat.I was licking the ice cream, savoring its tastiness. Damn, I picked the right flavor. I stopped what I’m doing when I heard someone beside me talked. “Hey, I heard you’re looking for Nico?” I raise my brows at him. And who the hell is this creature? He may
As I was walking I can feel a strong wind touch my cheek. It’s not just a wind I guess? Because I feel like someone just passed in front of me. But because it’s too fast I rarely see it.“Animal huh?” I asked ‘it’ whoever is missing with me. It’s just that I’ve got a feeling that it’s ‘it’. A moment later it already showed in front of me. It’s a man!“W-what you’re n-not an a-animal.” I stuttered.He laughs like a devil and then his eyes became red. Why does that scene so fucking familiar? Instead of running, I stared at him and feel the weight of his deadly stares. “You’re not animal, but observing the girl’s that you’ve killed you’re worst than an animal.” I spat angrily at him but he just stared at me smirking. I tell you, this creature whatever he is, he is so creepy.He advances towards me I stepped back. “You have a lot
A very hard slap welcomed me the moment I set foot on our house. It’s as if dad was so ready to do it. I remained my stoic face while my father is slapping me like crazy. “You insolent brat! How dare you defy my orders!”“What the fuck? I’m old enough to handle myself!” I fired back at him and then he looked angry than before. He was about to pull my hair when Agnes interfere. “Joseph stop it! You&r
Chapter 8: LeftIf zombies exist then I’m probably one of them. Blank mind and walking like a crazy dude, that’s me right now. I’m now here somewhere in our city walking, not minding the people around me. It’s not because I don’t give a damn about them, it’s because my brain can’t handle some shits anymore.I didn’t know that my life could be this hard, this chaotic. My mom used to tell me about fairy tales how it seems to be easy because we aren’t them. And now that I’m on their shoes, I can really say that life is so hard, hard than finding a boyfriend.“Hey! Watch where you’re going!” an angry man shouted and pushed me to the ground. I guessed I bumped into him. I don’t know. I couldn’t care less. I stand up and apologized to the man. “I’m sorry.” I said with no emotion and continued walking.The truth is I don’t know where I’m

I woke up when I felt the sunrays are hitting on my skin. That’s odd this house isn’t allowed to welcome the sun. That’s what Greta told me. She’s the creepy old woman who happens to be the caretaker.I didn’t bother to take a bath and already went downstairs because I can already smell the aroma of the coffee and to what is being cooked.I was surprised to see Nics in the kitchen… cooking. “Wow. You know how to cook.” The shocked expression was evident on my face. His brows knitted to my remarks.“Why, you do don’t know how to cook?” I coughed and smiled awkwardly when he asked me. “Let’s eat?” I said trying to avoid the topic.It’s just me and cooking, we don’t bond so well. We had past. I almost burned our house when I was in high school because I tried to cook something I saw online. I didn’t know that that will happen. I just left to change my clothes and w
