CHAPTER 2

CHAPTER 2

The maids were busy with Evangeline, they were in the living room with Evangeline, they were like kids who were playing dress-up to a doll, all of them admired her beauty and her skin, which was too soft and white.

“Oh my gosh, you’re beautiful,’’ one of the maids, Claire, yelled in admiration as she hugged Evangeline, Blake laughed secretly as he watched the maids’ reactions to her look. Claire was enjoying braiding her hair while the other maids were worried what Blake’s reactions about it because Claire was too much into her. Claire was only an 18years old, and seeing Evangeline’s beauty sparkled her eyes that she wanted to see how can she turned her into a Goddess, and she was even applying make-up on Evangeline’s face. The maids tried to stop her, but when they saw how Evangeline slowly transformed into a Goddess, they were all praising and helping Claire, suggesting what color should they used for her eye-shadow.

 Blake coughed and all of them stop what they were doing to Evangeline. They bowed their head and greet him, good morning. He requested the maids to left them alone so they did.

Blake went near her and looked at her dress, and when Evangeline turned around and looked at him. He got stunned by her looked, she looked like an angel, the fact that she was really was. He was speechless for seconds while the maids were secretly peeking behind the door, they were looking at their master’s facial expression and they giggled at the same time when they saw Blake got stunned by her look. They knew all about Evangeline, how he met her, and ended up inside the house. All the maids had tickling hearts, happy for what they were looking at as if there were strings attached between Evangeline and Blake.

Blake shook his head and couldn’t believe what he just did, staring at a woman that long was something he never did.

He sighed and held Evangeline’s shoulder, while Evangeline just looked at his eyes, emotionless and innocent. Blake locked eyes with her and sighed once more, “What’s your name?” Blake asked Evangeline, but no words came out from her mouth, and she only stared at him.

“This is crazy,’’ he whispered and let her go. Blake wasn’t sure if bringing her home was a good idea, or would it only cause him pain in the head. But then he tried his very best to make her say a word.

After what he saw from the footage, Blake decided to take her home. He bought her clothes and others and even hired additional maids to take good care of her, who would take her to bath and change her clothes. He even let the maid choose the dresses for her because fashions for girls were not his forte, but due to her doll-like face, the maids were choosing doll-like dresses.

 Well, Blake only took her home for one reason, to examine what human creature she was, he never saw a different creature like him before, and he wondered if how many of them were living like a normal human being outside there, wondering if there was a vampire like him, hiding their selves from the truth, but he doubted that, because he was been searching for decades and centuries for someone like him but never found one, ever.

Blake whispered a curse when Evangeline only looked at her, and never said a word. He tried it too many times but she never talked.

It took him weeks already but still… he failed to let the woman talk. Then while he was trying to make her talk, he noticed the woman’s reflection behind her, he saw her neck and made sure no one was around before he turned her around, and there he saw her tattoo, shining brightly.

“What is this? I didn’t saw it shines before, or I didn’t just notice it?’’ he whispered and kept staring at it.

He even rubbed the tattoo but the light won’t get away, then when he heard the door creaked opened, he removed her braids immediately causing her hair to be in mess.

“Sir, you have a visitor,” one of his female maids said, as she went near them.

He turned his face above his shoulders and looked at his maid, “Who is it?” he asked.

“It’s sir Pocco, sir,” she responded and Blake was about to ask her to let him inside, but Pocco was already inside the place and approached them.

He was only there to visit his friend but then his eyes caught Evangeline, who was in Blake’s arms. Blake was still holding her left shoulder and he saw him fixing the woman’s hair. He was confused by what they looked like, Evangeline’s hair was in a total mess, and Blake looked surprised and sweating like he was caught on act. He grinned and evil thoughts came whispering in his head.

He slapped himself for the thought he just thinks, “No, I know she’s pretty but he won’t do such things…’’ he thought as he kept staring at his friend.

He shook his head and tried to eliminate his weird thoughts.

“Did she tell you anything already?” Pocco asked.

Blake went near him and asked him to talked somewhere comfortable, and left Evangeline to the other maids, making sure she won’t do things that were unnecessary. The maids looked worried for Evangeline’s condition they also tried to talked to her but like Blake, they only got zero respond from her. They wanted to make her talk or else he might kick her out of the house.

Blake sighed and frowned and glanced at her, “She’s still not talking. A psychiatrist told me that she might have a trauma and couldn’t talk due to some reasons,’’ he explained as he looked at Evangeline, who was sitting in the couch, staring up the ceiling as if she could see something up there.

Pocco looked at her too, he wasn’t sure why does his friend, Blake, was interested in her, he admitted that the woman has a unique beauty but he wouldn’t thought that Blake would take advantage of her condition. It was impossible for him to think that his friend was interested with her without any reason, because he knew that it was not like him, he never even had a girlfriend before, but looking at Evangeline’s beauty he sighed.

“Who could not resist in that kind of beauty, if I were him, I might do the same as well,” he thought and looked at Blake who was seriously staring at her. He giggled, it was his first time seeing his friend having an interest with a girl, but he didn’t ever expect that it would be her, when there were too many girls tailing him a lot… and almost every day… because of his perfect charm and look.

He was creating possible reasons inside his innocent brain without knowing what’s really inside Blake’s mind was. He only wanted to know what she was, and where she came from.

“Why did you keep her, Blake. I’m sorry for asking but I couldn’t help it,’’ Pocco raised a question and Blake turned his face at him. He was not expecting that he would ask him that question, but as far as he knew, it was not unnecessary, his friends and the ones who knew about him taking the girl home would be a big question to them.

“There’s something I want to know,’’ he answered truthfully but not in detailed.

“Can you be more specific, Blake?’’ he asked but he just answered him with a smile on his face.

“Not now, Pocco. Long story, I’ll tell you once I’m ready,’’ he said, but he doesn’t have any intention on telling him the truth he just wanted him not to asks more questions.
