Through gritted teeth, “What then do you suggest?” He said it as softly as he could, as he burned with hate. “This is not a game. Someone’s life is at stake. So, please don’t just laugh as if you are treating it as a joke.” Ginika said, trying so hard to be patient and civilized as much as he can.
The Vampire did a quick glance at Vera before she spoke with a smirk, “Tell me about it, chosen one, cause the last time I checked, your Watcher friend was trying to drive me out into the sun.” She said almost tauntingly, her head tilted as if thinking before she continued to speak, “I could always go out as you guys initially wished.”
“Watch your tongue. My name is Ginika, and not the chosen one.” Ginika
The heat in the room had increased, and the intensity was just too hot. Ginika knew that if a proper step was not taken, then disaster would be their demise.“Let her go!” Ginika shouted as he pointed his staff to the girl.The Vampire girl looked at him with tauntingly, “Ha, how fast can a staff kill?” She asked mockingly. “You don’t want to know, believe me,” Ginika said.“I think I would like to, but then your girlfriend would die, and her blood will be on your head.” The Vampire girl said as she took his warming as if nothing.
“And you will remain a vampire forever if you do,” Ginika reminded with unmasked worry. His heart was melting. It was as if seeing the girl’s tears also brought tears to his own eyes.Abigail smiled before giving him a comforting gaze, “I will become a vampire if I die.” She said. She was thinking too much about ‘if’ and it won’t bring her anywhere, so she stopped doing so a long time ago. Her life is already like an hourglass that don’t have much sand. “Then, don’t die, my love, please don’t die,” Ginika said, and they hugged each other, feeling the heat and resting in the warmth and comfort. As long as they stood there, Vera and the vampire girl
Cassandra’s brow parted on her forehead as she lifted the corner of her eyes to study him. He tried to smile, but she was already looking back on her book by the time the smiles left his lips.“You didn’t answer my question, Cassy. Or are we going with the silent treatment?” Gareth asked, but as before, Cassandra remained quiet and continued reading her book.It’s a silent treatment then, perhaps I should activate my malice mood. Gareth grunted unhappily. He was just trying to relieve boredom and get to know the people around him, especially Cassandra. “I thin
She looked him expressionlessly, “Suit yourself, but I have told you that enjoy is a strong word. Try not to talk the horse to death, and it is still a long way to Landevia. At least when you are not around, then the other horses can rest too.” Cassandra seriously said before she proceed on washing her face now, and Gareth could see her eyes studying Bola, who was washing at the other end of the river.Gareth stomach knotted as he hurried back to the horses. How long had he waited for this day? It was hard to tell. Even as he made his way to the horses, he just could let the thoughts wither. His father had chased him out of the castle because he was weak, but if he presented this new prophesy to him, perhaps he would spare his life and accept him back into the Cavaliers as one of his so
Ginika released a heavy sigh, “I know. But looking-” He stopped midsentence as he felt his face heating up, turning red, from embarrassment. This earned another chuckle from Vera. She then shook her head and spoke teasingly, “Youth. They act stupid when they are lovesick.” Vera's voice was not so soft, causing not only for Ginika to hear it clearly. His face was still red from embarrassment, but he could not help glare at Vera. “What do you mean, lovesick? Who is lovesick?” Ginika asked, mumbling as he contemplated on ignoring Vera for a while. Vera laughed, “Riiggggttt….” She said, rolling her tongue as she said it. “Who is th
Ginika did not know why, but when he told Vera the story, she seemed different. He could not blame her after all since she was supposed to be a very loyal servant to the Emperor. Sometimes he even wonders why she was so good to him when he did not show any support for the current dictator. Aside from that, the story passed down by his people was really true absurd. Probably it was the most logical way for them to justify why some of them have special powers while the others don’t. Every power given by the heaven was only received by those who were blessed, so one should be grateful. Well, demon and vampires were always unique creatures that no one could even explain where they came from or how they come into existence. With that being said, the story passed d
Yes, he is safe. How many times did he encounter death but still alive until now? At least that should be a good enough proof that his luck was way better than the other’s, right? “You should not worry too much. Else more wrinkles will show on your face.” Ginaka could not help but teasing Vera. However, it was as if his stomach would fall from the sadness that was beginning to well up inside his own mind. The creases that were appearing on the woman’s face were just enough evidence to tell that she was not getting on with life after losing h
“You must have had a long journey. The sugar would help keep you focus. I want to be sure that I am not talking to some insane people,” Dante laughed. “Still cracking the same old jokes,” Vera said as she collected the cup and took the first sip.“Those jokes might be old, but they are true,” Dante said and walked back to his chair. He shifted the belt on his pouty stomach before taking a seat. “I had a visitor once from Mugot. A fine lady. She had come just at the time when I had run out of stock. Guess what happened in the middle of our discussion. She slumped right before my very eyes and refused to wake up until she perceived the aroma from the pie the children were baking that day.”The man laughed again, harder this time, but Vera only chuckled. Ginika, on the other hand, was still trying to capture everything in the man’s office. Maybe he had not seen these types of things before. Vera concluded. “Don’t mind my old silly jokes. Where is your partner?”“Dead,”“Dead?” Dante’s
