TVS 15: Some Secrets

"Fire, let's talk here in the garden." Aunt Melly was with me after we had breakfast.
"Tell Fire to bring us something to drink, please." He told May that I didn't realize that we were walking to the garden at the same time.
"What's that about Auntie? Your tone of voice seemed serious before." I finally got the question I was supposed to ask, it's past seven in the morning, it's a good time for chikahan.
"Yeah, this is really something serious, I mean super dupeeeer serious." Suddenly I was nervous about what he said, not so ....
"But first, let's sit here first." He said as he guided me to the beautiful chairs and tables in the garden. Auntie's requested drink also arrived, the maid laid it on the table.
"I'm nervous about what you're going to say, is that bad news or not?"
"Wait? Fire, where did you get that necklace?" I was amazed at how Aunt Melly behaved, because she seemed scared the moment she saw the necklace around my neck.
His earlier serious eyes seemed to be replaced by confusion and fear. Then I told her how I got this necklace.
"So, you get that in a cave? The bats themselves put that on you? Unbelievable!" That was his reaction after I told him. I just nodded because I knew he was confused by what happened to me before.
"By the way Fire? How old are you now?" Out of nowhere Aunt Melly asked.
"I'm already 23 now, why Auntie?" Even wondering I still answered.
"You should stay here for two years until you became a 25 year old lady."
I stood by what he said. Why?
"W-Why? Auntie, b-all of a sudden!"
"Sit down first before I continue."
I followed him even though I didn't like what he said I would stay here for two years.
"Well, I'll tell you this first. Maybe you saw the opposite room of your room? I've seen you in the CCTV footage that you approached there before you finally entered your room? Right?" Introduction, oh eh what if I come there?
"Have you seen the owner's name there?" I nodded at what he said. Yes, someone named V owns that room.
"That room was supposed to be your Kuya's room."
"That room was supposed to be your Kuya's room."
"That room was supposed to be your Kuya's room."
"That room was supposed to be your Kuya's room."
Suddenly my two ears tingled at what I heard. All I know is that I'm an only child, that's why I have an older brother.
"K-Kuya? All I know is that I don't have a brother, how come I have an Kuya?" I was really confused by what I was hearing.
"Your Mom and Dad should be the one saying this, but unfortunately, they disappeared when you were only 8 years old." When he said that, I felt the growing anger revived inside me. I just clenched my fist.
"V was kidnapped when he was just a kid. But before he disappeared you were born, which means he knows you. But I don't know how he lives today or is he really alive? That's why I want you to live here until I find him. "
"Wait, kidnapped by who?"
"I know that you are a slayer so I won't lie to you, your brother was kidnapped by some vampires." I was suddenly depressed. I can t quite imagine having a brother I didn t even know before because of the vampire taxpayers. Annoying!
"Auntie, I'll just go up to my room first, I can't really absorb what you've said right now. What's happening hasn't sunk into my brain yet, so excuse me first." When he agreed, I immediately got up and walked into the room.
My shoulders slumped as I threw myself on the soft bed. I can't quite imagine that there is something like this buried in my past that I didn't even know for the past 23 years of my life. Ugh! I really need to unwind but how?
You know that hunting vampires is my only stress reliever, how can I do that if I m in the city?
I thought of what Auntie had said earlier, that vampires had taken my older brother. Really doubled the anger I feel now, I need to kill their king as soon as possible. I will not let them get me either. I should make a weapon that will kill that stupid king!
Right! While I am here I will make a weapon that will kill that tax king. When we were still studying, not a single professor mentioned to us about the king of vampires. They say we should be the ones to discover who he really is.
Where do I start? Maybe in discovering who he is.
Ugh! I spent the whole day looking for that King's information. I've figured out everything, the only thing I've gathered is how strong he really is.
Why don't the proofs at the academy tell us who he really is!
It's already 6:30 in the evening yet I still don't know ---
"AHHH! A-The s-sak-"
"A-Araay, t-tu .... T-Help me." I only spoke before I completely lost consciousness.
"She has experienced severe migraine, she needs to rest for a few days, and also she needs to take all these medications I prescribed to alleviate the pain she will feel in case she has another migraine attack."
"Okay Doc, thank you very much."
"Just call me if something bad happens again. I'll be ahead of you."
I slowly opened my eyes when I heard someone talking but also immediately closed my eyes dazzled by the light coming from the light in my room.
"Fire, you're awake! Thank goodness!" Aunt Melly exclaimed when she saw me.
"W-What happened?" I asked and lifted up while holding my head because it hurt.
"We've heard you shouting, then when we climbed here you were unconscious. And the doctor said, you've experienced severe migraine."
"Is that so? That's the reason why my head hurts bad right now."
"Is this your first time with migraines?"
"Actually no, every year I get a migraine attack, but this one's different to the point that I lost consciousness. I'm wondering why, but every time I get an attack it gets worse. I didn't take any medicines because it's more It's important to me to hunt down vampires. "
"I see. It's good for you to rest first, I'll just bring your food up here. It's already 10:30 in the evening, you better eat before you sleep." Is it just me or does his eyes seem to be mixed with fear.
"Alright Auntie." After Auntie said goodbye, I got up to get something to eat at the chin but when I opened the door one of Aunt Melly's housemates came up to me with my food. I let him in because I had something to ask him.
"Uhm Ate, does Auntie have room here for her books? I'm embarrassed to ask Auntie herself so I just asked you."
"Is that so? There's only one on the top floor of this mansion. Can you find a book?" Ate said politely.
"Ah no, I'll just search. Is it locked?"
I decided to ask her, I'm sure Auntie has books about vampires.
"Just ask Madame M for the key, she has the keys to the room she doesn't want to enter, but I'm sure I'll give it to you because you're her niece. Just call me when you're done eating . "
"Ah all right, thank you Ate." After I closed the door after he came out I sat on the bed. I wonder why he doesn t want to go to the library? Is Auntie hiding something?
To be continued...
