Chapter 25

The first vampires are the first vampires you think you will be scared. They have really the beast-like features have wings and totally a blood sucker. They are afraid of garlic and crucifixes. True blood vampires couldn't enter a house without being invited. Afraid of sunlight and without shadows and reflection. Silver makes them weaken and a wooden stake is one of a way to terminate them.
But since it was 21st century now, it doesn't make sense anymore. We are almost no different from humans, except that we still have natural abilities of being a vampire and we still drink blood. Other than that our appearance is human-like, except that we have the snow-like skin.
The image of Sage entered my mind.
Can you think of such a handsome creature as a vampire?
"Are you hungry?" I was lost in deep thought and was blinded when I heard the voice of Zeus.
"Quite ..."
"Tara in the mouth I'm cooking." he still wears that genuine smile, it feels soothing.
I just nodded and walked out, while he remained behind me, silent and watching my steps.
"As far as I know, you have an exam tomorrow? The first semester is coming up, have you reviewed yet?"
"Not yet, so second sem are you also a student there?"
"Yes, and I'll be with you." I just raised an eyebrow at him and started eating. Am I absent again today? tss. When did you learn to be absent Reign?
In the middle of the meal I stopped and looked at Zeus who was busy eating. He stopped immediately when I looked at him intently and he smiled at me.
"Why?"
"I just want ... to ask you something." still hesitant I said.
"what's that?"
"Do you know where Sage is now?"
"She's not in their house, she's not in her house either. Even selene doesn't know either, we think maybe the woman she helped yesterday is with her." Immediately something stuck in my throat and I couldn't speak anymore, I nodded hesitantly and went back to eating.
After that we spent our free time on talking a lot, honestly I've never been in this kind of situation, having long conversation with someone is not my thing, but with this kind of person, I just didn't realize that it took so long. we talk, he's nice, genuine and jolly. Contrary to his irritable cousin.
"I want to go home, katelyn is alone at home, she definitely doesn't know where I am again."
"You really care for her, is that your bestfriend?"
"No,"
"In that case, you're not his bestfriend yet?"
"No," he nailed to my answer.
"You're different." he just said still smiling. His smiles, smiles are hard to erase.
"I'll send you home, lets go."
"I can manage to go home with my own don't bother to--
"No, I insist."
"but-
"Hep! I won't take no for answer lady, come on." I could have done nothing without the consent.
"Are you okay now?"
"Of course," liar.
"But you still look pale."
"Its normal I am a vampire." He just laughed because of my answer.
After that he became focused on driving that's why we were filled with silence until we reach my house.
"Thank you." I sincerely said amd he just gave me nod and smile. I turned around and hurried into the house.
As soon as I stepped on the front door, I felt something strange. My hearing became sharp and I could hear loudly everything going on inside. Every step, up and down the stairs. All in all I hear. I closed my eyes and as I opened it I was right behind the person I had heard before.
"Who are you?" My cold voice echoed in my whole house. He immediately turned to me and noticed that he was holding an expensive vase. He's wearing a full mask. But I don't care anymore what he looks like.
he's a thief.
He quickly backed away and pulled out a gun. I didn't show any surprise but when I stared at that gun the feeling that it was attached to me came back to my memory. Immediately the fire that was inside me caught fire and in a flash I was holding that gun and without any difficulty I got it from him and threw it away. I could see the shock in his eyes and recoiled slightly.
"W-who are you? W-what kind of creature are you ?! You're a monster! W-monster!" at first I didn't understand why he reacted like that. When I saw my faint reflection in a mirror near the door, I just saw that the color of my eyes had changed. Bloody red.
"You dared to step inside my property and tried to snatch things I valued the most. You deserve to be punished."
"W-what are you saying ?! W-don't come near! Wa-aack !!!" Even before he finished speaking, I touched his neck. He tried to get away and throw punches at me that made my grip unstable. He got out of my grip and tried to fight me but I just easily dodge all his punches and one just snap I am infront of him, I quickly grabbed his neck and threw him against the wall, then quickly approached him and held him tightly on the shoulder. There was fear in his eyes but I was no longer in myself to feel sorry for him.
"Now that you already know my secret, I have no choice but to do this .." I am lusting for a human blood so without hesitation, I found myself sucking his blood. A terrible scream escaped his lips and just a few seconds I felt his body trembled, a sign that he had completely lost his breath. When I withdrew my fangs against his flesh, I remained looking up as my eyes opened. I felt a literal power surging through my body after ingesting it, this amazing supernatural taste is quite addictive. Eventually my eyes gradually returned to their normal color. As I look down, I stared into the cold body of this stranger thief infront of me.
I quickly lifted its body with no difficulty and carried it somewhere and threw it away. I feel no pity, maybe because they are human, human that is supposed to be our food, a source of blood that will prolong our life. When I left that place I quickly went back home and went straight to my room.
I entered my bathroom and face the mirror still traces of blood on my lips, my eyes flick from its normal color to blue and to red as it returns to its normal color again.
'Ah! human blood. I didn't know it taste something unimaginable and indescribable sweet heavenly nectar. '
Since the day I woke up as a vampire, I never did try to suck or drink human blood. Selene just gave me her blood that time. And after that, I didn't taste any more blood until katelyn gave hers too. And now, I just taste human blood. I stopped getting worse and took a quick shower so that the traces of what had just happened would disappear.
When I'm done cleaning myself, I heard couple of knocks outside my room. I first took a towel and wiped it on my face then went out and went to the door.
I immediately opened it and saw katelyn's worried face.
I stared at her worried eyes. I don"t know why I don"t seem to want him to come near me. She stepped forward and I stepped back as I walked towards my bed.
"W-where have you b-been? You've been absent for two days, I've been searching for you ... did something n-happen?"
"Nothing ..."
"Reign ..." I coldly looked at her.
"Everything is fine I just took care of something, you can leave my room and I'll review ..." I barely showed the notebook I was holding and didn't look at him again.
I heard her sigh and walked out of my room, I immediately put down my notebook and fell down on the bed.
Great reign ... just great.
That day passed that I just stayed inside, I didn"t even bother to eat because I feel like I"m full.
KINABUKASAN
I woke up early, I also planned to visit the café. After taking a bath, I took off my clothes and started to get dressed when I complained that there was a pain in my back. way.
I moved closer to the mirror to be able to see what words it is and my eyes literally widen when I realize what it is.
Its his name? How did a tattoo of his name appeared in my back?
'Sage vandrex frost'
That was exactly the words written on it. I was still a little stunned there trying to think, why I suddenly found out I had tattooed his name.
When I recovered from what had happened, I hurriedly put on my clothes and left. As I planned, I first went to the café to check if there was no problem, after that I hurried to enter before I was late for class and the exam.
When I enter, the instructor will start handing out test papers. I slightly bowed at her and she gave me a nod as she motioned my seat.
I noticed katelyn staring at me and when I look at her, she gave me a smile like she always does.
I just nod at her as a sign that I notice her presence.
The exammination goes on. The whole classroom was almost silent like a typical atmosphere during exammination with a terror instructor observing every actions we made.
I finished first, and not everyone was surprised there. I am always like this since our prelims. I looked at katelyn who was still busy answering so I chose to just go out and hang out in the corridor. There were arms on the railings as my body leaned on it and my eyes in the field.
I was busy staring at it when someone blocked my sight, too late to realize who is it when our eyes met.
I seemed to hold my breath when I could see his gray eyes again and the kind of hair he had that added a strange appeal that only you can see in him.
Sage.
I said in my mind as I tightly closed my mouth and just stared at him.
He's wearing black v-neck shirt and black ripped jeans, his hands on his pocket. Her whiteness appears in what she is wearing and it makes her dangerously and charismatic handsome. Why is it that every time I see him I can't help but detail every detail of his appearance?
I frowned when I saw that he had lost sight of me and when I looked where he was looking at.
Crisanta.
I felt a heat of the head when I saw it approach him. She greeted him with a kiss on his lips that made my blood boil on anger.
I clung so tightly to the railings and stared hard at the two. They seem talking and based on crisan's facial expression, she's enjoying it, it seems funny what Sage says that she can't stop laughing and smiling. At this time all I want is to erase that freaking smile of her and make sure she could never smile that way again.
Again sage and I met eyes and from here I could see how his forehead wrinkled as he looked at me. Crisanta noticed this and was slightly surprised by the expression of her eyes and when she was about to look at me someone cupped my face to face him.
"Hey lady calm down,"
I met his deep green eyes again that made me losen up a bit.
"good, that's right .."
"Zeus, what are you doing here?"
"Just passing by when I saw a vampire with her bloody red eyes looking at my cousin and his girl." It seems that his statement surprised me.
"What ?!"
"Uhuh. Thank you and I'm the only one who saw and thank you also that I was the one who went through those times."
"What the--
I looked around and saw someone else passing by. Annoyed, I looked back at the sage and that flirtatious woman but I was disappointed that I didn't get anything.
"Why are you so angry? Is it because of my brother?"
"Both of them."
"I see, may I know why?"
"That girl is my biggest nightmare, someone I want to want to be deprived of life, nightmare that I want to bury in the pit." I answered emphatically.
"Why don't you do it?" I just looked at him and would have answered when someone suddenly called my name. When I look to find who she is.
Katelyn appeared.
"Tara n--
he couldn't finish what he was going to say when he noticed I wasn't alone, he and zeus stared at each other and looked at me in amazement.
"Zeus, he's zeus."
"Uhm, hello, zeus. Its katelyn Ashley." I don't know why Zeus' face became serious when he saw Katelyn. To this day they still stare at each other.
"Nice to meet you katelyn." Zeus greeted him casually.
"I'll be right ahead Riley, katelyn nice to meet you again"
"Okay,"
"Nice to meet you too, zeus."
When zeus left, katelyn's gaze went to me.
"What was that? Don't tell me there's something wrong with you?"
"Don't you know him?"
"No eh, but it looks familiar."
"He's sage's cousin." he frowned and later nodded.
"No wonder, they have similarities. I might have seen him before but unlike sage, maybe I just caught a glimpse of the zeus over there? But wait, why are you two together? Is there anything I don't know between you?"
"nothing and long story."
"Nothing ..."
"Nothing,"
"If you say so? Let's eat?"
I just nodded and obeyed.
Upon entering, I was greeted again by a strange atmosphere, every student is looking at me, seemingly sympathetic. Some don"t care and others seem to be even happier. I shrugged my shoulders knowing that and ordered food, even though we could not find a seat someone re -entered the cafeteria group.
Crisanta and her dogs.
They looked at me and it seemed that there was a talot on their faces. I immediately felt dizzy with the shock and strength of what he did but I also immediately recovered and turned to him.
"What do you think I'm going to stop you after what you did to me huh ?! I'm telling you to visit me soon! I will never allow you to not make up for what you did to me! You piece of trash !!" He took the tray I was holding and threw it at me. I tried to turn my head away from it, so it just hit the side of my head but the foods on it spilled out on my body that made everyone gasps.
"If you're angry because sage chose me and we're now pwes! I'm out of your problem !! Blame yourself for why he left you! It's not like you're just going to hurt me and rush me. be killed! " I want to snap at what he says, what drama is this crisan? to show that I'm bad and you're good? are you a victim? that you are the hero and I am the villain?
I looked at him angrily and angrily stabbed me. I heard the whispers of the students who did nothing but believe everything they heard.
I was about to step forward when katelyn hold my arm to make me stop. But I ignored him and withdrew my arm.
I slowly ironed my clothes and looked at Crisanta without emotion. As I stared at him, I slowly clapped and the whole cafeteria was amused. Everyone stopped talking and stared at my every move.
"Reign, please .." I ignored katelyn's stopping me and continued what I was doing. Crisan annoyed me even more, which made me happy, he turned around and then looked at me again.
"You didn't tell me that you're into acting? Why don't you try to pass an application form in Performance arts club? You're such a good actress crisanta. Very well act! Do I need to gave you award for that? "
"What are you saying ?! I'm just saying what's true !!"
"Oh so you want to make them know the truth? Should I tell them the truth thst I know too? The whole truth ofcourse, isn't that fun?" He was a little taken aback by what I said, but recovered quickly.
"what ?! you think they would believe you ?! huh !? they know me but they don't know you that well so what's the point of telling them your made up truth? if they don't believe you ?!"
"Do they really know you crisan?" The nervousness and anger on his face became even more visible because of what I said, the whispers of all the students inside began to resound, focused on what was happening. Even when someone is really a very attention seeker, he just wants a lot of audience things to join the theater.
"Maybe they don't know me, but if I say, you're my step sister does that makes me know you more than they do?"
"Omg? They're step sisters?"
"Yes, we just found out..Crisan has a step sister?"
"Then who is legal?" I immediately smiled when I heard that which made crisanta anxious and nervous.
"I am a Mcdemort, and the blood running on my veins make me one, you? You're a muffin and your mother just seduced my dad after my mom passed away so that she could get everything that my dad owns, in other words You're just hanging on to my family but it's fun to think that whoever the hangers are, he'll still have a thick face to claim things that aren't theirs. My dad didn't even marry your mother, so technically, you don't have the right to everything I don't own anything! Because everything! Everything you took is named after me! "
"Y-You're a liar! I'm still the one you're making out to steal huh ?!" he cried hysterically.
"Why not? You stole everything from me, you want me to bring out your best so that we can find out about it? I told you crisan, I knew everything that these people didn't."
"You really are a beast!" She tried to slap me but her dogs stopped her.
"Cris, that's right, maybe what happened will happen again."
"Arrrg !!! we're not done yet Reign! You'll pay for this! You ?! what are you looking at ?! gossips!" She screamed in anger as she walked out of the cafeteria.
"R-reign ..." Katelyn tried to calm me down but I just shrug my shoulder and walk outside the cafeteria, I know she just followed me when I went straight to the girls' washroom.
I quickly took off my t-shirt and wet my burnt body due to the heat of the souo that was poured into it that I didn't pay attention to, you were still slightly red from the burn.
"Why don't you just kill him, that's also your plan?" I looked at her in the mirror, she's leaning on the door while looking at me watching my actions.
"They made me live in hell, so I want them to live on it too, I will make them suffer more than everything I went through, I will remind them of what they did to me before until their dull brains could no longer cope. and crazy. I'll take mine back and let's just see where they can be picked up. "
"Creepy, but I'll support you cause I know where you are coming from."
I didn't look at him anymore and water was applied to my reddened skin again when he spoke again which I stopped.
"You have a tattoo of the prince's name?"
"It just happened for I don't know how." He was speechless as if swallowed up by a deep thought. I just let it go and took my extra tshirt from the bag and quickly put it on. I just combed my hair and we went out of the washroom.
"Are you going home again?"
"Yes"
"All right I'll go first"
This scene, the same as when she perished but this time I can't sense any danger that might have happened to her so I nodded knowing her. When I was sure he was gone I immediately turned the road, I went to the other department to look for him but I could not find him there.
I remembered the scene a while ago. I saw him, I knew he was there, I can"t be wrong.
I went straight to the place where I could possibly find him and I was not disappointed. He was standing there looking out the window and smoking a cigarette.
I knew he could feel my presence but he didn"t look back at me.
It's funny to think that then I really didn't want to feel his presence but now I'm here and I'm still looking for and approaching him.
I walked over to her side and stared out the window.
"can we talk?"
He didn't respond, that made me look at him. But he just looked so seriously away as if he didn"t care what I said.
"I know you're mad at me and I've done horrible things to you but I am hoping you will still talk to me, sage."
"We have nothing to talk about mcdemort, get lost."
"We have something to talk about," he threw the cigarette on the pavement and stepped on it then turned around to walk but I quickly interrupted him and I met his dangerous look while frowning.
"Why are you doing this?" I asked with a nod because I couldn't stand the way he looked at me.
"If you retaliate because I was too hard on you before, pwes you made it, you won."
I didn't hear him speak so I immediately looked up and met his gaze again, this time his eyes are cold.
"Leave, I am not interested in you anymore. Even on what you're trying to say." His voice where cold too. Dangerously cold.
"Sage .."
"I gave you chances didn't I? Did you forget how you pushed me away? I told you, everything is not my problem anymore."
"Why crisan? Of all human why her? You know that woman is a plague in my life! So this is how you want to insult me ​​huh? To get even? To use the person I loathed most." I heard the resentment in my own voice as I resisted his chilling stares.
"Don't know what you're saying."
To be continued...
