Chapter 10
I could hear Harris calling his parents and Nanang, forcing me to open my eyes because I wanted to see them. When I was able to open my eyes, I quietly observe my surroundings, feeling every aura in the room. But when Nanang approached me, my eyes moved towards her, but I could not see Nanang's face because of the light directing to my eyes.
"Nang?" The way I called Nanang was short and full of weakness. Nanang held me by my right arm, but the first thing I felt was the roughness of Nanang’s hand.
"Hija, Dralia! Oh! Thank God, you’re awake!" Someone dropped the wet liquid from above. A liquid drips from above. I cannot guess where it came from. But when Nanang bent down and pressed her face to my arm, I finally realized that the tears falling on my skin was from her.
"I'm so worried about you, Dralia! I was so sad when I found out what happened to you. I should not have delayed it! Hoping that I didn't let you used
Chapter 11Suddenly, my head ached for thinking too much at the thought. Ten years? That’s impossible! What really happened? The last thing I remembered was Harris and I were at my school, and we talked to Sir Dracu.My brain ached again when it mentioned the name of the head of our school. “Argh! My head hurts!” My colleagues automatically, and hurriedly draw near me, here in my private hospital room. Nanang was the one who automatically spoke out.“Harris, call Dralia’s doctor! Tell her, ASAP!” Aunt Divina shouted at Harris. So, Harris quickly ran out of the room. Soon, Harris returned immediately.I was still holding my head with my hands. It hurts even more when a guest enters.“Ouch! Ahh! My head is hurting so much more!” My head sting so much. I can no longer move. So, what I did was I bend over, and pin my head to my two knees that were folded vertically.“Doc! It&
Chapter 12There is no place or any direction that I really wanted to go. I wandered around for about five hours and moved from place to place to find my own resting space. The morning had arrived and yet, I’m still not over with roaming around, until I felt thirsty and hungry at the same time, caused by moving from place to place. At exactly six o’clock in the morning, a long seat caught my eye in the park. Not a single person was there. Perhaps, after all, it’s Saturday, no school classes, and no work. I came back to being a mortal the moment I sat down here.I turned around while holding my stomach which was burning with hunger at the moment. When a wild bird passed in front of me, my stomach swelled up even more, in an instant. The bird stopped and scrambled along the path near where I was resting. I was shocked for a moment when the bird looked up at me, and I also stared at it, but my gaze was mixed with lust and yearning for th
Chapter 13Loud applause and screams aroused my consciousness. Before I raise my head, I first sense my body if there was any pain. But I felt nothing. And the next thing I did was open my eyes. I presumed that my blindfold was already removed. But as soon as I opened my eyes, there were visible lights, but it's still dim. It might be for the reason that both my eyes were under-wrapped by the blindfold for a long period of time.“My fellow vampires, I wish everyone a delightful evening! I just want to make you all aware of how grateful are our Supremes for accepting their invitation for this night’s gathering. Because this evening, those who are condemned, will be convicted!” I, without a doubt, heard the speaker’s announcement right in front of me, but his back was facing me.“Everyone already witnessed that the moment those black vampires had caused a rampage in the city of mortals, they then initiated brutal atta
Chapter 14My eyes widened at my discovery. “How co---?” I only spoke to myself. It is beyond the bounds of possibility for them to be associated with the vampire’s world. I can sense that they are pure human beings. I am pretty much sure about it.The room was filled with thunderous applause as they showed their welcoming atmosphere. At the same time, as I opened my eyes, Helen set her hands on my shoulders.“You just don’t know much, Vara.” I tried to look at her from behind, even though it may be uncomfortable for my neck. “What are you trying to say to me, Helen?” I asked questions wondering. “What happened between the ten years, Helen? And why did I lose my consciousness?” I weakened my voice as if whispering while talking to Helen.“They are the Bladimr Family.” She pointed out the family members in front of them, they were the ones referred to as the vampire no
Chapter 15The red stone on my neck shone even brighter. I had to close my eyes a little because of this blinding light. I can see Blake looking at me seriously. No, I was wrong! He was seriously looking at this red stone on my neck that continuously shines brighter.“Why do you have that in your possession?” Blake asked me loudly, and emphatically. And then, he tried to snap up my necklace from my neck. I could not move because I am tied up with my two hands.“W-What are you doing? Why are you trying to lay hands on my necklace?” I shouted to him aloud. I do not know what is happening to me, and why, all of a sudden, I am annoyed at why someone is trying to take my red stone away from me.While he was still holding my red stone necklace, he then tried to snatch it again from my neck, but he just couldn’t take it that easy. To the extent that he grasped and wrapped the string of beads in his hand, and reckles
Chapter 16I stopped looking back because we heard a loud bang from a gun. For that, Helen’s attention was diverted, so, I took the opportunity to run away from her.I ran even though my neck still hurts because she strangled me so much earlier.“Vara! Stop! Vara!”But instead of stopping and looking back at her, I did not even bother. I do not want to miss my chance of escaping from this place. I know in myself that I am not a pure vampire. And human blood still lingers in my body.When I noticed that I had already run far away, I stopped for a moment and was still catching my breath. Suddenly there were pairs of feet, and talks that I could hear, so, I look around and find out where I could hide. I am grateful to locate, just near my spot, a wide pole where I can hide.I calmed myself and felt the atmosphere.“We will surely pay for this misstep to Prince Dracu if we cannot hunt down the capt
Chapter 17Harris and I were still staring at each other because of what I had discovered about Helen. But instead of startling myself, I didn’t seem to feel any remorse for biting her before.I am the one who first let go of our gaze because I felt a little embarrassed.But he suddenly touched my chin and directed my face to him again.“Don’t feel sorry about her, she’s the one who did something wrong to you, first. In fact, you’re just defending yourself that time. If she had not given you poisoned juice, you might not have slept for ten years.”“How did you find out about that?”Instead of answering me, he suddenly brought his face closer to mine. Because of the proximity, I stumbled.“Don’t mind the past, Dralia, let’s face today, and our future.”I’m confused.“What future are you talking about, Harris? Aren’t
Chapter 18The Life After Death (The Last Reign of Vampires)In the very wild farm owned by the Bladimr Family, they chose to bury the remains of Dralia Vara Caldaraba, the child of Delia, and Dracu who went missing a long time ago.Meanwhile, the remains of Calzer Harris Palmora were delivered by the Bladimr family, led by Delia, and Dracu. The Palmora family is still very angry with what happened to their only child. So, they chose to bury him in the exclusive mausoleum of the Palmora family.Because Harris died in the town of the Bladimr vampires, they no longer treated each other's family well.And one night, the whole barrio of Estancia was filled with fear, because a loud knock was heard every night at the graves of the late Palmoras. A hundred years had passed but put to this day, there are still loud knocks heard by every coffin in the cemetery.The Palmora family's house was already close and unoccu
