The man stared at her. She could not answer the question. She totally understood that this man who just saved her was as dangerous as the old man. She tried to ignore him and ran in the other direction. However, the young man could still catch her easily. “Why do you ignore me? Is it the way you are thankful to your saviour?” asked the vampire. “Okay, thank you. Leave me alone” said Lisa. “Because you have witnessed what I have done, you must die in peace,” stated the young man. Lisa felt like she could not run away anymore from this weird creature. This young man could run faster than her. He was also stronger than the old man whom she could not fight. Lisa finally gave up and closed her eyes. She could not think anything else at that moment. Nobody in this city cared about her, she thought. The young man who had an intention of killing this eyewitness stared at Lisa’s face. He realized that this girl was innocent. Her innocent look hypnotized him for a moment. He exhale
"I don't want to kill anyone," Gerald replied after a few minutes of silence. He put Phoebe's hand off his shoulder and narrowed his eyes. Gerald's eyes pierced deep into Phoebe's aged eyeballs. “What Phoebe said is the truth. If he is not killed, this will be a big problem for all of us,” said Bosy. She smelled something fishy in Gerald's statement that he could not kill this girl. But, for the sake of Vampire existence, she must convince him to kill her. Everyone in the room nodded their heads, agreeing with what Bosy said. This fierce woman who has served as chairman for two years is not the first time to issue a similar order to those who have seen evidence of the existence of Vampires. However, in this case, she faced one of the respected people in the Vampire kingdom, Gerald Xandifield.? Looking at how the crowd tended to agree with Bosy's opinion, Gerald's hands were sweating coldly. This man, who had no human blood, felt that there was something in him that wanted t
Suddenly, the Vampire King entered the room, surprising everyone in that place. He wore his royal cloak with his charisma. Even though he was getting old, the way he walked into the room still illustrates his power and charisma.? Everyone immediately bowed to the man, including Bosy, and her husband. Even the elder Phoebe respected him. He walked through the crowd, getting closer to Gerald. “You are the Vampire prince. If you can't do something that easy, how can you lead our kingdom?” said the King to Gerald who just stood in the middle of the room. Gerald was already on his knee when the king stood in front of him. “A prince should be able to take responsibility for what he does. How did you end up in this place and be judged like this? Doesn't this show your unworthy qualities to be the successor of this kingdom?" stated the king. He has heard his son’s problem before getting into the room. He never thought that his own son who will lead the kingdom after his death still
“I AM NOT YOUR WIFE!!!” shouted Lisa when Gerald opened the cloth on her mouth and her eyes. Gerald smiled cynically. “Is that what you say for the first time to your saviour?” asked Gerald with a winning laugh. Lisa kept silent afterward. She looked around. Nobody was in the room. It was only her and the man who saved her life twice, Gerald. The one whom he just found out that he was a prince in a vampire kingdom. “Where is it?” asked Lisa because she felt so strange. She remembered how she became the subject of the Vampire family debate. But, there was no one in this place. “Don’t be confused. You are safe now. Because you are my wife now, you are in my room” answered Gerald. Lisa tried to look at the whole room which was considered Gerald’s room. She could see some golden stuff, luxurious furniture, and the smell of money in that room. “Where is everyone?” asked Lisa again. “Oh... Your eyes are closed but not your ears, right? Can’t you hear the voice? The meeting
“Nobody will release this rope for you,” said Gerald while smirking at this hopeless girl. Lisa stood her ground. She did not want to be enslaved by anyone. "How can I convince a bird that food in a golden cage is sweeter than in the wild?" said Gerald with his hands clasped together behind his back. He made the analogy that Lisa was a bird that should be in the wild but being trapped by Gerald's side would be much better. He tried to convince Lisa that being his slave is safer for her. The man did not immediately release Lisa from the noose. He deliberately played games before Lisa was released. "A bird won't eat food in a golden cage because it's not food for them. It's just....” answered Lisa. The man looked at her closely. “.... a dirt," She continued with high toned-intonation. Lisa knew exactly what the man meant. "A bird will be shot dead if it flies free," said Gerald again, arguing. "A bird will die if its freedom is restricted," replied the girl. Gerald pu
“Hello, little girl... Where are you going?” asked the woman who stood in front of Lisa, smirking. The dark eyeliner that filled her eyes sharpened her gaze. The middle-aged woman took one step closer to the frightened innocent girl. Lisa still remembered this voice. The voice of a woman who ordered herself to be killed among many people. She was Bosy, the person she was afraid of the most. Lisa started shivering with goosebumps. Her heart beat so fast as if it was the end of the world. "Aren't you Gerald's?" the woman said. "Hmm... hmm..." Lisa muttered hoarsely. The girl stepped back as her body began to shake from the fear. "You have beautiful eyes and charming hair," said Bosy, raising her hand, and touching Lisa's hair with a sarcastic look. Lisa understood it was not a compliment. Bosy looked at her back, to the gate of the castle, then the eyes came back to innocent Lisa. “You want to run away from the lion cage after knowing you are just a goat for us?” aske
"Open your mouth," said Gerald, raising an eyebrow. Lisa felt ashamed so she closed her eyes firmly. He was confused by Lisa's expression, which closed her eyes when asked to open her mouth. He found her so cute right now. He really wanted to laugh. But, he stayed in his character to be tough, strong, and arrogant. In Gerald's eyes, Lisa who was closing her eyes and opening her mouth looked cute. "Here is your food," continued Gerald. He thought she was very cute. Meanwhile, Lisa started to open her eyes slowly after hearing the word “food” in the man's voice. Gerald told her to open her mouth as a form of expression telling her to eat. However, she thought otherwise. Moreover, their position makes her mind fantasize wildly. She was too afraid to be touched by anyone. She still felt trauma after the rape night. “Food?” Lisa wrinkled her forehead. "You asked the waiters for food," said Gerald, pointing at some food in front of Lisa. Silently, he asked the maid where
Lisa's look of pity towards Gerald made him feel irritated. He felt humiliated by that gaze. To show his strong and dominant self, he also heightened his arrogance. Gerald took his steps forward closer to Lisa. "Lisa... Lisa... Your name is Lisa Angelina, right?" asked Gerald, lifting Lisa's chin up with one hand pressing both cheeks. Lisa couldn't answer because her pressed cheeks became a point that covered her lips. However, Lisa answered it with a look in her eyes. The eyeballs move downward which implies she said yes. The girl was now just giving up after she found out there was nothing to happen if she fight over him anymore. "I know everything about you. Once again you run away, maybe not only you are dead but all your family in Long Sandville... I have to kill them" said Gerald fiercely. "Long Sandville? How could he know about where I live?" Lisa wondered. She never thought that her life was so much miserable as this. He might have found out everything before. She
