UNDER THE BLOODY MOONLIGHT のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

I HURRIEDLY rushed through the staircase, holding the hem of the lengthy flowery dress I’m wearing. Because of my speed, I reached the main hall in no time. As usual, the halls are all empty, and so is our whole palace. If back then this kind of scene always makes me feel gloomy and hollow, today I got the courage to just shrug it all off. Besides that this is not new to me anymore, nothing can spoil my bright mood today. I hummed a song in my mind as I grace my way to the grand doors. “Well, good morning.” I was greeted by a gentle cool breeze and the pleasant smell of dewdrops in the grass. The early risers chirped, about their morning rituals, and golden light was everywhere, covering natural and man-made creations, full of beauty and magic. And in the middle stands my favorite thing of all, the gigantic fountain that vomits crystal blue water. The way it touches the surface ground is such music to my ears, I love how it calms me every time. I excitedly peeked to see how deep th

THEY SAID IN a vampire's lifetime, love and romance are crucial things. Unlike humans, they are only capable of being in love with one vampire for their whole life. The moment you found yours, it's impossible to set your eyes on another one. Together, you will have each other forever. It's both a curse and a gift. That's why vampires value marriage more than anything. It is more than a tradition, or bloodline ties, something deep like love bounds to keep two vampires together eternally. I must admit, love is not something you can easily find if you are a vampire. When I watched my parents get married, I am not aware that that is all for convenience only. Any memory of their said "love" or "intimacy" was still a blur for me. However, my mother is good at keeping everything together and she's also capable of making me feel that her love only is enough. At that time, she was the only that mattered to me, and I am for her. When she died, I feel like a part of me died along with her. It

HOW DOES it feels to be able to control time? I never expected I would say this my entire life, but it must have been fun being a witch. ​Time is something that never fails to entice me. You can never see it, you can never hold it... but it's all over you. It's all over us. Before you can even notice, it's already controlling you when you should be the one doing so. In some way, it can tell people when to do what they do, and basically the only thing people can agree upon. The power it holds over people is just... insane. No matter how hard you try, it will never stop and it will never move the way you wanted it to. It's really cruel, how it just continues to progress and leave behind those who cannot keep up anymore. [I/N: A witch is a creature of Romania that has the ability to control time. However, they are considered a menace to society. They are believed to hunt little children and maidens in the community and they are treated as the lowest rank of society. Contrary to how p

"If you want to wish for something, say it out loud while on the verge of a cliff." His voice was like a touch of mellow music to my ears. The view is as beautiful as ever, but I wish l I can just stare at his face instead. A perfect image I will forever hold in my memory. "Is that the reason why you brought me here?" He's near. And we are looking at the same view. I realized that is more than enough. "Words are powerful... but wishes are magical." I smiled and I wished he knows how much I admire his mind. Where do I stand in that vast faculty of your thoughts? Can I ask for just a little place in your memory, instead? "I wish I can stop time." As if on cue, the wind blows gently on our faces. The trees swayed and the glazing sun hid behind the clouds. I closed my eyes and let my mind be blank... be of peace. "Why?" Giovanni. We are still here, enjoying the view from the cliff. His grip circled on me from behind, and me leaning on him. I have always been the kind of someone

“ARE YOU sure you want to do it alone?”Amadeo’s voice echoed from behind. I sighed quietly and grimaced. This is going to be a long conversation.This got to be one of the most quiet I have ever seen Oakcross. You can hear even the slightest sound crickets make. The wind whispers so silently as if it does not want to wake anyone. There is no single star in the skies, and the moon shines brightest above all.Which I found hilarious and odd at the same time. What is about to happen tonight is far from being peaceful.“I can handle myself, Amadeo.” I coldly answered as I continued combing my hair in front of the mirror. I purposely made my voice sound dismissive in the hope that he can already feel there is no changing my mind anymore and that he can stop. But to my surprise, he even leaned himself on the door jamb and crossed his arms as he continued staring at my reflection with a smirk on his lips. I rolled my eyes and shook my head in disbelief.“You should get ready by now, don’t yo
