She heard someone clearing their throat some distance behind them and Chris stepped away, looking back at whoseover that was.She looked back too, grateful for the interruption.For a moment there, she was scared things would go out of hand.It was Jett and it looked like he had something really urgent to say."You were right, Sire. It is him."Chris frowned, looking back at Elsa, his frown deepening by the second."I knew it. A trap!" Then he looked back at Jett, "he has been finding a way for me to be indebted to him since forever. By the Blood, he is a Bastard!" He paced, shaking his clenched fist in quick jerks."I wished there was a way to get rid of him already."Ivy flinched. She had never seen Chris this angry before."That is not all, Sire." Jett stepped closer to Chris. He seemed rather calm but his voice showed that he was just as angry as Chris was. "There is a meeting tonight."Chris stopped right in his track, clenching and unclenching his fists slowly."Making a move a

She went into the room immediately. Trying to make sure that creepy Butler doesn't sneak up on her as usual. But what she saw made her heart race with fear and shock. The bed. It was empty! Where was Elsa?! Damn that Butler! Where had he taken her friend?! But her thought screech to an halt, when she heard the door, the one linking to the glassroom Elsa had been, pushed open suddenly. "I--vy?" A frail voice called out to her. Ivy turned around to see that it was Elsa. She was leaning heavily by the door, looking absolutely drained and the wires attached to her body were already yanked out. She was no longer in a dress but a blue gown that looked like the ones patient wore in a hospital. Damn! They had really put so much efforts into fooling her. That made her feel lesser of a fool, but a fool still! "Elsa? Oh my goodness, Elsa!" She ran over to her, pulling her closer, making Elsa lean against her instead. "You are alive! Alive!" She declared in a contained whisper. "Wh

"I must look very stupid to you. A vampire? Really?" She laughed hysterically, standing up from the bed, passing by him, to dramatically pace around the room. "Not a failed scientific experiment, or-- even a successful one but a creature right out of a fantasy book?!" Shs clapped in sarcasm before she shot him a glare. "I absolutely believe you." Then she stopped and looked right at him, his face was serious and his lips were pressed together tightly. "Do you even know that those things are not real?" "Will you say that everything you had gone through tonight isn't real?" "Well, that still doesn't-- vampire? That is just ridiculous." Then her voice dropped low, "they are not real." "We are real, Ivy," he came close to her, slowly so as not to intimidate her, but she took a step back and he stopped immediately, "and not Amryelsa is one of us." Elsa. Ivy blinked, looking around quickly. She had only heard of them in fantasy books and seen them in movies. But with everything she

She pulled herself up from the floor and walked to the bed, picked up her phone and called her Father, her phone pressed to her ear while it ranged lowly."Hello, Pa.""Isn't that my one and only lovely daughter?" His voice answered through the phone and immediately she heard her Mother's own, from a distance as usual."Isn't that my one and only daughter," she mimicked him sarcastically. "If you were half as passionate for the investors meeting we had today, how good that would have gone.""I could say the same about you in some other things," he teased. "When it comes to our daughter, I'm doing the work for the both of us, Sweetheart.""What?! No. Romito and I are as close as we are supposed to be," then her voice started getting really distant than it had started out to be, Ivy could hear some background noises like as if her Father was sneaking away, then she heard a door close silently.That confirmed it."I have escaped for now but she will come for me soon to make her point. Le

Fantasy.Myth.Doesn't exist.Those and more were the words that confronted her during her search.She had chuckled in her head at them.If only they knew.She had also found some things about the way the vampires were. Some she had remembered a time or two that she could have noticed, and others she immediately knew weren't true.The search results said that they were cold-blooded, couldn't walk under sunlight because it would burn them down to ashes, and many other things that even she knew couldn't possibly be true.The cold-blooded one though, she believed. She had been close to Chris on many occasions and he had felt cold against her skin. Silly of her, she had given it many reasonable excuses in the past.But then again, how was she supposed to have reasoned that he was just the cold one?Then what about the time she had tried to help Elsa out of the room immediately when she had woken up?Could it because she was hun-thirsty?Ahhhh.She sighed in her head, scrolling down and re
