'Time should erase you from my memory but why the Sky so cruel and let me remember about you even I know you'll never be mine.'
Chen Sheng Lin
****
I can't speak. I never knew when he comes and presses some point in my body then I can move my fingers. Even though I can move my body now, I don't know why his gaze makes my heart beat faster. I never felt like this way before. Why does he look so beautiful and handsome at the same time? What happened to me?
"Why does your face look reddish? "
What? Bai He Lian, Chen Sheng Lin is a dangerous man. You should be careful of him.
"Impossible!"
Unconsciously I touch my cheeks. I feel my face become hot.
"Bai He Lian, you will stay here with me."
"What do you mean?"
"As I told you before. I don't like to repeat. This world is not like you thought."
"So, what is this place? Mr. Chen, what exactly are you?"
He giggles in front of me. God, why does his smile become so radiant?
"If I say honestly you will be shocked."
"Don't you think I am shocked already since-", I stopped.
"Since this morning."
"Uhm... " I nodded. "What's -"
"Think whatever you want." He answered. "Owh... Yeah. If you want to go, you must tell Mei Hua to accompany you."
"Mr. Chen I just want to go home."
"Your home now is here."
"Stop joking with me. I have a lot of things to do."
"But now your things to do are here. Forget it for now."
Suddenly from a windows direction, I can see a lot of daggers attacking us. No. Maybe attacking Mr. Chen. He looks so calm with his sharp gaze and soon the daggers just stopped and floated in front of his eyes.
"I never thought that you were brave enough to attack me here. Xia De Ming."
Xia De Ming? That's my ex-boss name, right? How can he be here? Indeed, I saw Xia De Ming with his long black hair. Why does Xia De Ming look so fabulous with this appearance? Wait... Why do all of them wear something old and full of ancient taste?
"Chen Sheng Lin. How can you abduct her?!"
"That's none of your business." He answered.
"You know she does not belong in this time. She does not belong in this world. Why do you have to bring her here?"
"She owed me."
"Then she owed me too."
What?!
"Wait! "
"I will bring you back." Xia De Ming grabs my wrist and pulls me into his.
On the other side, I feel a palm grab my other wrist and pull me to his direction.
"Why not let her choose for herself? " Xia De Ming grabbed my wrist tighter than before.
"I want to go home." I shouted out loud in front of them. "This must be a nightmare, right?"
"Bai He Lian, do you think that you have any right to choose your way now?"
I must be dreaming right now.
"Chen Sheng Lin, she comes from the future don't you think about her? Do you want to kill her like the other girls? I'll never let you kill her!"
Xia De Ming looks so emotional. I can see his eyes starting wet.
"Kill me? Why?" I asked. A lot of questions in my mind.
At the same time Xia De Ming slash Chen Sheng Lin's wrist with his sword that came out of nowhere, automatically Chen Sheng Lin releases my wrist. The blood drips from his wrist but in seconds that injury heals. I am shocked. So, Chen Sheng Lin is a ghost? Do ghosts have blood? I don't know either what I 'd seen.
"Wha... What are you?" Finally, a question leaks out from my mouth. I choose to step backward from Chen Sheng Lin, but I feel something like a magnet drawing me into Chen Sheng Lin's embrace. I wanted to grab Xia De Ming but failed. No... I don't want to die.
Chen Sheng Lin raised his right hand then a red fog started surrounding us then I saw just both of us in this room. Where is Xia De Ming? I want to come back home. I don't want to live here. I slap his face hard. I don't care if he will kill me now.
He stares at me after I slapped him. His red eyes deliver something creepy in my bones.
"What are you?" I stepped backward since he started approaching me. I really don't know what I should do. If he wants to kill me then let him be. So, I stopped and closed my eyes.
'Chen Sheng Lin, I love you. I hope I can love you more in my next life.'
What's that? Why does her voice look so sad? Who is she? I just heard a voice from nowhere.
'I owe you a promise to love you more.'
Why is that voice again?
"Bai He Lian! Who is talking with you right now!"
I opened my eyes when I saw his red eyes still intimidating me. Why are his crimson eyes so enchanting? He looks so curious and terrified at the same time. He forces me against the icy wall. Where is here? I am so cold.
"Tell me!"
"I don't know! I just know she is your girlfriend."
Chen Sheng Lin looks so pale in sudden but he still intimidates me by his body language.
"Bai He Lian, you will never run away now."
"I want to go home."
"Now your home is here."
"No! I don't want to be here! This must be just a nightmare, right?" I really hope this is just a nightmare.
"This is the reality. You belong to me. Even if you run away I will find you." Chen Sheng Lin said, smirking.
Gradually my palm becomes sore. The blood drips from a wound. I saw my palm slash by something that I couldn't see. I am shocked.
"You see? I know you from your blood."
"Wha... what..."
"Don't ask me with the same questions."
How can he know what I think? Don't say that he is a mind reader?
"Why don't you just kill me then let this be over soon?"
He grabs my wrist in front of me. The wound is still bleeding and sends me nausea. He stares at my wound then magically my wound heals in seconds. I saw how the wound closed and stopped bleeding at least just a bit of blood in my right palm.
"Now healed."
My sight becomes blurry and nausea fills me now. How can I suddenly become an unfortunate girl in sudden? Xu Feng left me with his betrayal. My best friend also betrayed me. He made me auctioned by a mafia. He made me meet a demon like Chen Sheng Lin.
I saw an old woman with her white hair. Her skin was full of wrinkles. She approaches me and I cannot move in front of her. She touches my face. Her eyes were full of sadness.
"Looks like the lotus chose you." She said.
"Who are you?" I asked but she looked so calm and gave me a smile. "I don't know what you are talking about."
"Soon, you will understand." She said then disappeared leaving me alone.
Then from the darkness, I see a young man with his army uniform. He looks so young with these clothes. His body was full of blood and scars. Why am I seeing these creepy things? He walks slowly and approaches me. His face was so familiar to me.
"Please help me. I need your help." He whispered.
"What can I do for you?" I asked.
"I need your blood. I need your blood."
Is he a vampire? Why does my head never stop thinking? Then he disappears.
"Hi.... Where are you?!" I shout as I wish someone will hear me but just the darkness surrounding me instead.
"I am here."
What? That is Chen Sheng Lin's voice. The demon is here. He is still here. I open my eyes to make sure and I find that Chen Sheng Lin is still here. He sits beside me. I saw my right palm was healed just leaving a scar mark like a crescent.
"I never knew what you were looking for me even in your dream." He smirks. I look at my surroundings then find that we are in his classic room. I realize now we are in my era. This time is not an ancient era.
"Yes, I brought you in your era."
I never knew he still considers me at least.
"Don't thank me because you are still my slave. Don't you remember that I won the auction?"
"So, what do you want from me?"
"Your heart."
"What?"
I know this is not just a simple 'heart'. He is a demon. What can I expect from him? Even he has love. It's not for me or anyone else.
