A few minutes into closing her eyes, Mila felt the bed she was sleeping in, move slowly but steadily.
It seemed like Aaric was going to take her somewhere else. But, where? To that padding room again?
Mila didn't understand, but she said nothing and did what Aaric asked her to do.
After passing through several alleyways and greeting a few people, then door after door that creaked open and closed, Mila felt like being surrounded by a lot of light and this made her forehead wrinkle a little because the lighting was too glaring for her own comfort.
"Don't make any suspicious movements, otherwise the two of us will be finished."
Mila heard Aaric's voice again, it sounded soft to her ears and so low, that she was sure only the two of them could hear him.
After they passed that room filled with bright light, Mila could relax again when they entered another room wit
Mila rolled her eyes dramatically. What's with this man? Why did he always act very strange?"Hey, you haven't answered my question yet," Aaric said, reminding Mila while waving his hand in front of the girl's face."Seriously Aaric!" Mila pushed the bottle back to the man's hand, a little hard, but still this man didn't budge."Why? Just answer it." Aaric raised his eyebrows questioningly. "Miss me?""No," Mila answered in a stern tone, as if she didn't have to think twice about answering that stupid question."Your words always hurt and don't match what you feel," Aaric muttered when he heard Mila's answer, as if that trivial thing really hurt his feelings."Now, tell me. What's all this?" Mila spread her hands, trying to show the whole place, where she has been held all this time.However, Aaric did not answer her immediately. Instead,
This guy often did unreasonable things, but what he's doing right now was outright crazy!Aaric was trying to kill her!What the hell was going on in his mind?!Mila screamed with all her might when she saw Aaric slashing the penknife, which he took out of his trouser pocket, at her swiftly.Mila was sure she didn't have time to dodge it and the knife scratched her skin. The first thing she anticipated was; unbearable pain from her injured hand.Yes, as Mila wanted to protect her face, she raised her hands as a last resort instinctively."Stop screaming," Aaric said in a lazy tone when he saw Mila's exaggerated reaction. "Look carefully."Aaric's words were not immediately digested by Mila, but when she realized that the pain she thought she was going to feel was not coming, Mila began to slowly lower her hand to see Aaric, who was still
Mila stared at the blood spreading on Aaric's hand with wide eyes in disbelief."You said, you and I are the same!!!" Mila exclaimed hysterically when she saw Aaric's futile attempt to stop the bleeding, but it looked like the wound Mila had made was quite deep. "Then why are you bleeding now!?"At first, Mila just wanted to make sure that Aaric wasn't fooling her with stupid stories about non-human beings, or using a trick that could cut the hem of her shirt without injuring her at all, but now that she saw how Aaric was bleeding, Mila felt like she was indeed stupid to trust him."Oh, shit!" Aaric cursed, the expression on his face was not one of a panic because of the pain from the wound on the back of his hand, as his eyes were staring warily at the door while the drops of blood continued to soak the special floor in this padding room. "Why did you attack me?" Aaric asked, sounding desperate."Yo
That night, Aaric said goodbye to Mila in a strange and very quick way, as if he was being rushed by something, also became the last time Mila saw him.The first and second day Mila didn't see him, she still didn't feel disturbed. The third and fourth days, Mila started to wake up almost every night, hoping Aaric would come, sneak in to see her again, but after the fifth and sixth day the strange man didn't come, Mila started to feel restless.Did something happen to Aaric? Or was he punished and transferred to another section? So they couldn't meet again?Mila began to blame herself for following Aaric's advice by accusing him of harassment. Maybe, if Mila told the truth, Aaric wouldn't have been punished too severely…But, maybe Aaric knew better about the situation here, so he chose that way to get out of the problem Mila has caused.Once again, Mila banged her head aga
Mila was shocked when she heard Ellen's words, she stopped walking and demanded more answers from the female doctor. "What do you mean by he's gone?"It was then that Mila could see that it seemed like Ellen had spoken the wrong words as she immediately corrected herself. The words seemed to leave her lips automatically without her thinking about it carefully."It's nothing," Ellen said, as she grabbed Mila's hand back to walk. "He doesn't work here anymore."But, unfortunately Mila had caught Ellen's mistake and couldn't help but overthink it. Her heart was beating so fast when a thought crossed her mind.Aaric is gone…Mila wouldn't get the answers she wanted anymore. Because even though they had allowed Mila to come out of her padding room and walk along the corridors, under strict regulations, these people had absolutely no intention of telling her anything about her c
Mila looked at Drake in front of her in disbelief.How could it be?This is absolutely impossible, right?This is something that can't be happening!There was only one person who called her 'Mila munchkin' and that person had been missing for over a week, but then this man called her with the same endearing name?But, wait...Mila was a hundred percent sure, Aaric did not look like this at all. No matter how long Mila hadn't seen him, there's no way Aaric could change this drastically.Who is this person, really?!"Who are you?" Mila turned defensive and tried to avoid the man in front of her."You don't know me?" Drake asked, as he folded his arms and winked playfully at Mila, causing the girl to gasp and shake her head violently.
"You weren't the man that I met before," Mila corrected Aaric's words. She was very sure that the man in front of her was a different person.However, there was this feeling that said Drake was the same as the previous man and he was Aaric.This was baffling. It even took Mila a few minutes longer to clear her head.It was also a good thing that Aaric gave Mila space so that she could think more rationally. For some reason, Mila's body reacted strangely upon Aaric’s touch.And the longing that enveloped her seemed unstoppable after not seeing this man for so long, was that even normal?Mila was not sure how to explain that."I am a soul penetrator, Mila," Aaric began to explain, now sitting on his desk with his legs crossed in a relaxed manner."And, what is a soul penetrator...?" Mila asked carefully, her back still against the col
One hundred years ago, somehow the veil covering the supernatural world suddenly disappeared and forced the world of vampires mingle with humans.Not only that was bad for humans, because the vampires started to hunt them down for the fresh blood that had been difficult to obtain at that time, but also it was the beginning of a long battle between humans and vampires.Until finally, the two parties attacked and killed each other in so many wars that followed after that.And because vampires were designed differently from humans, where their lifespan were much longer and their bodies were much stronger, they were bound to have a upper hand for some wars.It was just that, their limited numbers and their low reproduction rate have led their kind to suffer a crisis when fighting humans continued for a longer period of time.Their population hit absurdly decreasing numbers. Because f
