"It's okay Amelia. I get what you mean". Annie patted Amelia's back as she said.
Annie doesn't exactly know the reason why, but her face darkened with hatred as her eyes saw all the scars that were on Amelia's body. She hated the ones who did this to Amelia.Actually, with the help of the real host's memory, Annie clearly remembered how Amelia got these scars. She remembered how Amelia used her body to shield the real host— when she was being attacked by none other than Aria, Gael and Mila, including her father and others too.'Just what kind of person was the real host? To the extent that she got bullied by others and it caused her death!. If this were me, I'd never have let anyone dare to bully me!'. Annie thought and hissed afterwards.Finally, Amelia stopped sobbing as she released the hug. Although Amelia knew that her actions were bold, she just hoped that Annie didn't mind the way she hugged her because— it was improper for a servant like her to hug her Master.Staring straight at Amelia's eyes without averting her gaze from her, Annie asked, "Do you want to become stronger?".Amelia was stunned by Annie's sudden question to her. "Em, what does my lady mean by that?. Can a low ranked vampire like me even get stronger?. Lowly vampires like us had indeed tried getting stronger, but we only ended up failing over and over again". Amelia admitted to Annie as she sniffed her nose.'Oh right, I forgot about this. Not every vampire has the potential and ability to get stronger. And according to the real host's memory, a lowly vampire can indeed get strong, but that could only happen if they worked hard. And even though they eventually get stronger, it'd be limited. Unlike the real host that was naturally talented. Plus, according to the real host’s memory, there's a school called ‘Tistna’ — for rich young vampires, or what do they call it, sect? Important and rich vampires have to go to school there for some years in order to learn more about the origin of vampires and how to grow more powerful'. Annie thought to herself before she came up with a brilliant suggestion."I don't care, but we're trying it anyway, Amelia…. Starting from tomorrow, we're going to start with training. And also, the application would start next month, so we're going to apply to school in Tistna. After all, Aria also schools there, and as the first daughter of this mansion, why shouldn't I?". "But before all that, I need to do something important first". Annie added and a smirk appeared clearly on her face. Annie smirked like this because she could already feel those two vampires trailing her by using her scent. 'Just how powerful is the real host that I'm able to know that those two vampires are looking for me?'. Annie wondered and smirked even more."Huh? My lady, is anything the problem? And did you just say you're going to apply to school in Tistna? I thought you disliked that place?". Amelia was surprised and curious as she asked. She saw that Annie suddenly stood up, so she stood up too, so as not to be disrespectful."Don't come close to me, Amelia. And you should probably cover your eyes for what I'm about to do". Annie ordered Amelia because what she was about to do now might hurt Amelia's eyes since Amelia was a low ranked vampire.Amelia did exactly as Annie ordered and covered her eyes immediately.Amelia was getting a second thought of taking a peep at Annie, since she wanted to see what Annie was up to... But as soon as she opened her eyes, she immediately shut them back because of the bright light that shone— caused by Annie unleashing her power.'What was that powerful light?!'. Amelia thought and was afraid because the light almost damaged her eyes."You can open your eyes now".Amelia heard Annie's voice say to her. And although Amelia opened her eyes, she didn't open them immediately.On the other hand, Amelia wanted to ask Annie about what just happened, but decided to remain silent."I did that to prevent those two vampires from trailing me with my scent". Annie already understood the curious look in Amelia's eyes, so she said to her."Vam…. Vampires?. What two vampires are you talking about, My Lady?". Amelia asked Annie. She doesn't remember any two vampires coming after them unless…. Amelia gasped in disbelief when the thought about Bernard and Arnold showed up inside her head. Actually, it was now that she remembered— that Bernard and Arnold confronted her and Annie before. "My lady, what do they want with you?". Amelia panicked as she asked. She was scared for Annie even though Annie wasn't looking bothered."Just don't start with your sobbing again, Amelia… It's going to be alright, after all, I'm not that weak naive vampire anymore". Annie announced, and even after she said this, Amelia didn't calm down.Amelia knew the vampires trailing Annie were both Bernard and Arnold, so that was why she was so scared."My lady, I heard that no vampires were successfully able to escape those two vampires. If sir Bernard and sir Arnold really mean to capture you, that would mean you'd be taken straight to Lord Davis!". Amelia announced, but Annie only smiled and shook her head."We have to get out of here immediately before they arrive here!". Amelia added because she wasn't strong at all to protect Annie from them."What?. Amelia, I just got here and now you want me to leave? You know that's impossible. I'm not going anywhere". Annie said nonchalantly. There was no possible way that she was going to leave this mansion all because of those two vampires, Bernard and Arnold."But- but we really have to leave, My Lady. Bernard and Arnold will never stop hunting until they find you". Amelia's face was pale as she said this. With this facial expression of hers, Amelia was already hoping that Annie would listen to her this time around, but to her great surprise, Annie didn't even flinch a bit. Instead, Annie only stood still— staring at Amelia who finally stopped talking.'Oh no! Is my lady angry at me?'. Amelia thought to herself as she saw the way Annie was quietly staring at her."Hunt, you say? It's their problem not mine. And besides, I already did stop them once, and I can still do that again". Annie said with a proud face as she was already getting familiar with all these new stranger powers of hers."Wait a second". Amelia muttered as it was finally now that she understood the meaning of Annie's words— 'I did that to prevent those two vampires from trailing me with my scent'."But my lady, since when did you have that kind of power to do something like that? Lord Davis' protectors aren't jokes and it's not easy for you to prevent them from trailing you. They're dangerous and powerful". "But come to think about it... How did my Lady escape from them after I fell unconscious? How did we even get back to the mansion?". All these questions came into Amelia's mind, so she asked them all to Annie at once."Oh Amelia, you'd be shocked if I told you what you're so curious to know about". Annie declared before a wicked grin appeared on her lips– as she recalled how she humiliated both Bernard and Arnold."Why are you staring at me like that?". Annie asked as she noticed Amelia was staring at her absent mindedly. Meanwhile, Amelia was in a serious thinking mood because of what Annie previously said to her, but she suddenly snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Annie's voice speak to her again."Em, My Lady, are you perhaps hurt somewhere?". Amelia suddenly asked Annie this question because she was certain that there was no possible way– that Annie could just have escaped from Bernard and Arnold. "Huh?. What's wrong with you Amelia? How can I be hurt?". Annie asked Amelia, who was dumbstruck. "I'm sorry, My Lady. It's just that I couldn't believe that you were able to escape those two vampires". Amelia admitted before she added, "Are you angry at me, my Lady?". "Of course I'm not mad at you, but I will be if you don't keep your mouth shut". Annie announced to Amelia. Amelia talks way too much that it was already affecting Annie in the head."Sure, My Lady…. Anything you say".
Annie later focused her attention on Ethan and Mila. "Father, are you scared of your beloved daughter? What about you, Mother?. Oh I just remembered... You're not my Mother". Annie's voice showed how mocking she was being at Ethan and Mila."Don't you dare talk to my Mother in that rude manner, Annie!". Aria gathered up her courage as she said out. After all, to Aria, wasn't this still the same Annie she used to torture and bully?."I like this sudden courage in you, Aria". Annie's expression darkened after she said this. She further continued to speak, "I wonder what would happen to you if I took that courage away from you"."Enough of all this!". Ethan has had enough of Annie."Alright.... You all can go away now, since it's enough". Annie announced to Ethan."You!!". Lord Ethan yelled out at Annie, angrily. Meanwhile, Mila saw that Annie was distracted, so she decided to use this rare opportunity that she had, immediately!.With full force, Mila drained the whole energy inside of
The two feared Vampires, each holding their mythical weapons, suddenly came to a halt.Meanwhile, the other vampires who were waiting anxiously for these two particular vampires to leave– all shivered in fear when they saw them both halted. "The scent of that youngling vampire lady…. It has faded!". Arnold said. His voice showed how frustrated he was... If they don't find and bring that vampire lady to Lord Davis, it would cost their lives. "I can't believe that this happened!. How did that youngling vampire have the ability to hide her scent?!". With anger boiling throughout his whole body, Bernard uncontrollably unleashed his dark powers with full force. They must bring that youngling vampire lady to Lord Davis…. Or else, Lord Davis would kill them for sure if they don't. But how do they even begin– now that the vampire lady scent has already faded?!.Loud coughing took place on the other side of the road. The other vampires weren't strong enough, so they all got affected by Bern
"That was awesome! You are so cool, my lady!". Amelia couldn't hold in her excitement and complimented Annie. She couldn't believe that Annie was now a stronger match for Lord Ethan, Aria and Mila."I know that I'm cool, Amelia. I've always known that". Annie simply stated with a proud face. Soon, she smirked wickedly as she continued to talk, "They all should watch out for me because a new Annie is back. I'm not going to be that naive Annie they all knew!".Amelia giggled after hearing what Annie said. To her, today seemed like a dream come true. Anyways, staring at Annie's dress, Amelia saw that it was already unwearable due to how dirty and uneven it was in height and length. So she said to Annie, “My lady, your dress, you have to change it"."Yeah, you're right, Amelia. I have to also take my bath". Annie admitted before she squeezed her face in disgust. Some part of her totally hated this dress. ‘This dress is so not my style. How do these vampires even manage to wear this nonsen
The atmosphere outside was pretty cold. Most of the vampires shivered in fear just by stealing glances of both Arnold and Bernard's faces.Arnold and Bernard both walked elegantly, their faces showed no emotions and were straight, even their eyes were fierce. The road was cleared for both of them because no single vampires dared to stand in their way. If that ever happens, they would only end up getting hurt by Arnold and Bernard.Plus, Arnold and Bernard didn't ask for directions anymore because they had combined their powers to create a great force like never before. And with the help of the great force, they were able to recover Annie's lost scent again.“We're close, Arnold. Let's get this gone properly this time”. Bernard announced and couldn't hide the smirk which suddenly appeared on his face. Meanwhile, Arnold just nodded at Bernard as he continued to walk together with him.Soon, both Bernard and Arnold wore a satisfied grin on their faces as they couldn't wait to have thei
‘One thing I know for sure, I'm not a traitor to my Lady! And I'll never be a traitor to my lady. I won't tell you where my lady is!’. Amelia thought to herself since she had already lost the energy to speak out. Just a moment ago, when she was about getting food for Annie, she spotted Arnold and Bernard– but suddenly, her body strangely stiffed, making it difficult for her to move. And because she wasn't able to run, she was attacked by Bernard who blasted her with his power and sent her flying up in the mid air– until her body hit the ground. Ever since then, Bernard had been torturing her while demanding for Annie."Amelia!!!". A panicked voice echoed, causing everyone to stare at who the voice belonged to. There was horror in Annie's face as she rushed over and knelt beside Amelia. Seeing Amelia in this miserable state, made Annie angry to the core. Her killing instinct suddenly became active and the veins in her neck popped out.With a darkened face and fierce eyes, Annie star
A minute after Annie left with Amelia, that was when Bernard and Arnold struggled, and finally – they rose up. Ethan got up too and immediately ran to Mila's side. He carried her and was breathing heavily since her health wasn't stable. To be fair, this should be the second to third time today– that Mila was being brutally hit– by Annie. “Aria, don't be a weakling and get up! Go get the healer for your mother, immediately! After that, find your big brother and have him return back home!”. Ethan ordered before he hurriedly left with his wife, who he was carrying in his arms. After hearing her father's words, Aria groaned in pain and stood up. She didn't waste time and ran to do what her father had ordered her to do. Meanwhile, Bernard and Arnold saw the road which Annie followed, so they also passed through there. Their hands were placed on their injured chests as they walked side by side. It wasn't long, and for the first time ever, they arrived at Annie's own manor, which was al
Annie came outside her manor. She was about to remove the barrier she had set– when suddenly, she noticed both Arnold and Bernard's presence.“Gosh, won't these two just give up and leave already?”. Annie muttered in annoyance, as she was already tired of the two vampires. Annie knew that if she removed the barrier she had set, then both Arnold and Bernard would come inside her manor for sure. And at the same time, she was hungry and must pass through the barrier to get to the food storage. “What am I going to do? I don't have enough strength to fight anyone again”. Annie muttered once more. She wanted to give up and return inside, but thinking about how she'd sleep with an empty stomach– caused her stomach to growl even more hungry than before. After sighing deeply, Annie began thinking, ‘If I use this front entrance, they'd surely know that the barrier had been removed. But, if I jump through the side wall, they won't know’. After thinking, Annie nodded her head. Before Annie le
