Epilogue - My Home
It was early in the cold morning. The ballroom is packed with tables and chairs as well as food and wine, not to mention a huge jar of blood for the vampire guests. The servants are everywhere in the castle with trays of something in their hands.
“Rosamund, wake up.” I said softly, brushing a finger on her cheek.
Her eyes opened instantly, “It’s time, isn’t it?”
“Happy birthday, my sweet rose.” I smiled
“Thank you, mother.” She sat up and hugged me tightly.
I helped her get ready for the day. She went to the tub for a relaxing dip. I scattered rose petals in her bath as well seeing she also likes r

My feet began to get sore from all the running. I could hear the deafening sound of the crickets and the cracks of the twigs under my bare feet. Enveloped in fear, I tried my best to speed up even when my legs were shaking. I muttered a curse underneath my breath when my left foot hit a rock; then came stumbling down the cold, wet pool of water. Great! Strands of red were sticking on my sweaty shoulder. I held onto the huge rock beside me and got up with all the strength I could muster. Due to the pumps of adrenaline, I couldn't feel anything; I felt no pain. I started running again. If I stop and slow down, they will surely catch up. The sky was dark and the air was moist from the rain. It is still raining; the trees were swaying from the cold bust of wind. My body feels cold; I almost forgot that I have nothing to cover me. Not even a single piece of clothing to keep me warm. I have to find some plac

I heard noises. There are heavy footsteps and a lot of sighing. I also heard loud hitting of metals and pans. The smell of garlic and grilled meat filled my nostrils. My mouth watered from the delicious smell. Food!I opened my eyes to see that I am in a house with high ceilings and walls made of wood. Using my arms, I got up from the soft couch and sat still. I winced because my head is killing me. As if I'm not in enough pain, my stomach grumbled.“She's awake!” A jolly voice approached me. It was Gideon. On his right was Daniel and on his left was Ambrose.“Are you okay? You fainted.&r

Daniel twisted the knob and pushed the door open, it produced a creaky sound. Considering how old this mansion looked, I'm not even surprised if all doors here create sounds like this one. It's as if I'm in one of those horror films. “It's not that grand but I hope it'll make you as comfortable.” Daniel smiled I shook my head, "It's perfect." Daniel scratched his head, “There's a bathroom just across your room if you wish to clean up. Feel free to use the clothes in the closet for the meantime.” I smiled, “Thank you, Daniel.” &nb
The Girl in the Wilderness Chapter 4 - Holy Blood
I felt a sudden wave of heat, like I'm on fire. My blood boils as I sweat profusely. A loud groan filled my head. Her eyes shone the vibrant gold. Dark strands of red weigh down to her thin waist. The woman is weeping. Slowly, the light in her golden orbs disappear; her eyes covered by darkness. And all I felt was the coldness. Her pulse weakened and I could feel my lungs tightening. “You did nothing wrong.” A soft, mellow voice whispered. I was gasping for air. It's always the bright sunlight that wakes me up in the morning or
The Girl in the Wilderness Chapter 5 - Into the Woods
It is beyond uncomfortable to be different, to be something fearful. After that episode in the basement, everyone avoided me as if I have some kind of a disease. Well, it's not like all of them avoided me. Sage did not. He'll make small talks here and there whenever he gets to visit here. It turns out that he lives just a few miles from here, near the market. Gideon also greets me but we never really got time to talk because he got things to do. Daniel sees me with cautiousness in his eyes.Everyone's probably just busy doing much more important things like Ambrose in the library, searching for answers on ancient books. He's been inside that room for a few days now. I would offer to help but he clearly ordered me to not disturb him.As usual, I'm

My forehead creased when I turned to look at Izaac. His face remained blank. I am utterly confused about what he's talking about. A theory?“To test what?” I asked“Do you trust me?” His tongue reached his lower lip. I don't trust him enough, that's for sure. Ambrose I can trust fully, but him? I don't think so.“No.” I answered truthfully.“Good.” How is that a good thing? Seriously, what is he up to?
The Girl in the Wilderness Chapter 7 - Bed on Fire
It was raining when my eyes blinked open. The coldness and the heavy sound of droplets woke me up. I felt my hair through my fingers; the strands were damped but not my clothing. I wore nothing but a white robe. Then I heard someone move from my right, there he sat on a chair just beside my bed.“You’re awake.” Izaac moved and sat on the corner of the bed while I just looked at him. I don't know what to think or say. I just feel tired.“Can we talk for a minute?” He asked. I saw a flash of uncertainty on his face. This is my first time seeing him like this, ambivalent and agitated. Izaac was always the type to be decisive and easy-going but right now he looked so troubled.
The Girl in the Wilderness Chapter 8 - Scent of Old Books
It was a rainy day so I spent the day cleaning guest rooms on the third floor of the castle. God, it was exhausting. Seeing that the castle has multiple rooms per floor. The third floor is probably the most dirty considering all rooms in that floor weren't occupied and that's where they threw most of the old, unused furniture. Each room must've collected its fair share of dust and spider webs within years.I went into the bathroom carrying new clothes that Sage bought for me from the town market. I wanted to come see the town market but I'm not allowed to be seen by vampires or even werewolves, we all know that.On my hand is a pretty white dress, some underwear and a pair of doll shoes. Sage picked out the nicest clothes and I'm than
