TVS 24: Her Side

"Where are we?" It's a big gate. Here we are now opposite a large gate.
This gate is so sophisticated! Xavierre didn't respond so I just kept quiet.
The gate opened and the long highway into the forest opened.
Why is there a road here? Eh this forest?
"Fire, how did you end up being a slayer?" Xavierre asked me.
"Hmmm, how come?"
X A V I E R R E
"Hmmm, how come?" Fire is thinking deeply.
Probably bothered if he would tell me.
"It all started when I was eight. I grew up in a simple family. Me, mama and papa. We live in the neighboring barrio."
She paused for a while and diverted her gaze from the window to me.
"We were so happy back there, and then 15 years ago ... There was a war."
"What kind of war?" I asked even though I already knew what war it was.
"A war between humans and vampires." What ?! All this time she thought that it was a war between us and them? Fvck it! Is that why he hates killing a vampire?
"Mama and papa, I saw how those vampires killed them. I was hiding in a cabinet that time." I saw her eyes burning with hatred and anger.
"And when I got out, their lifeless bodies were laid on the cold floor of our house."
"That's the time I promised myself that ... I will hunt vampires and seek the ones who killed my parents. I still know the smell of him, I will never forget that!"
"And then recently, I went to Manila to visit my Aunt. She said I have a Kuya, who was taken by the vampires. I got even angrier with them!"
Brother? Taken by a vampire?
"What's the name of your Auntie?"
"She's Melissa Damienne."
Her Aunt is a Damienne? Fvck! Why the mess?
"But I have a certain goal, Xavierre." He suddenly said so I lost my thoughts.
"And what is it?"
"I will kill their king. The vampire king."
I was sad. This whole time he planned to kill me. I'm sad because it still came from him. She was supposed to be my queen. But he considered me an enemy.
"What if I am that King? Will you kill that King even if it's me? Haha." I made it as a joke. I don't want her to think that's me. For now, I don't want to let her know first, I am just giving her hints that's all.
"Of course, but where are you?"
I'm in a lot of pain right now. I wish I hadn t just asked.
"I see." I sighed. There was a long silence inside the car.
"Do you know that there are good vampires and bad vampires?" I just told him. I 'm still driving.
"What kind of good vampires?" She asked.
"Good vampires, those who don't drink human blood."
"Really? But we weren't mentioned that when I was still studying at VSA."
"Yeah, there is. But it's a secret how I found out." I chuckled when I saw her face. He seemed surprised that he didn't know.
VSA? Hmmm ...
"But vampires will always be vampires."
"We're here." I saw Fire's eyes widened.
I brought her here for my first hint.

Woah! Super lakiiiii!
Xavierre took me to a mansion.
A castle like mansion. I feel like I m in the medieval era because of what I see. Xavierre opened the door for me so I went down.
The size is really great!
"Shut your mouth Fire haha, your saliva is already dripping." What?
"Silly, this house of yours is too big!"
"I know, it's hard to live alone there."
"What? You're alone?" Really? In such a big house? Only him? I felt sorry for him.
"You can live here with me, if you feel sorry for my loneliness."
"Shut up." He's making me confused. Confused about my feelings.
Maybe Xavierre and I have the same skin because we only went out in the sun once. Actually I'm working at night, hunting vampires so in the morning I sleep.
Maybe Xavierre can't get out, he's already lost here in his house, pfft.
But, lately I ve been going out with the light more often. I kept smiling.
"Looks like your day isn't bad anymore ah? It's good that you're smiling." Even Xavierre. We're walking now inside and down a long hallway.
I really don't feel bad anymore, but why did I feel bad before?
Is it because ... He said Alvie is not his girlfriend?
Why would I be pregnant?
The nice interior of her house, medieval themed everything I see. The utensils, from the vase, to the piano, and to the chandeliers. Everything looks like antiques!
"That ladder of yours is tiring!" How come the corridor we walked through before is so long, it's over now as we walk down the stairs.
"Want a lift?" He stopped and sat slightly on the floor.
"No thanks." I said and went down first--
"What are you! Xavierre! Put me down!" He carried me, in a bridal way. Gosh!
Embarrassing! I can now feel my cheeks turning red.
"Shut up. I don't want you to be tired."
"Aren't you burdening me?" I asked, it's because he just doesn't seem to have my weight!
"Nope, why should I be burdened? You are too --never mind."
I just kept quiet and watched his face.
He is a handsome gay. Every girl's dream is to have a guy like him. His eyes, his deep, dark and dull eyes. Even without life they are still attractive to me. Her eyes were further highlighted by her thick eyebrows and long thick lashes. My eyelashes were embarrassed.
His nose, it's pointed. That matters to him. And his lips, it's reddish. This guy's really handsome. How can someone be this perfect?
"You want a kiss?" Kiss?
"What are you saying?"
"Earlier you were staring at my lips Fire. I can't let you down because we are already here. But it seems like you want a kiss from me. Pfft." He says laughing.
I went down as soon as he loaded, I was embarrassed again! I'll sing what you're saying! Hmp!
"What? You want a kiss--" I didn't let him finish speaking. I squatted slowly. His eyes were big, but he slowly closed them.
Pfft.
"Dream on Xavierre."
I whispered to him. Ha! He thought I would kiss him. I saw his reaction, as if shocked.
Pfft.
"Tss. Why did you teased me? I thought you were really going to kiss me!" He growled like a child.
"Oops, sorry haha."
"You. No one has ever done this to me. It's just Fire." He grabbed my arms and pulled me closer to him.
I felt his arms around my waist as he pulled me closer to him. He placed his hand on my cheek and stroked it gently.
"H-Hey, what a-are you doing ?!" I'm stuttering.
"You started this Fire, face your consequence." He said. Before I can even react ...
I felt a soft thing in my lips.
It was Xavierre's lips, and he's kissing me.
