Bella carefully examined the belongings and deduced that the girl belonged to a wealthy family. She noticed the name "Jenny" imprinted on a broken ring, providing her with her first answer. It was 11:00 am when Jenny woke up in fear, having had a terrifying nightmare about a person with blue eyes in the dark woods, blood dripping from their sharp fangs. Startled by Jenny's distress, Bella rushed into the room and embraced her, calming her down like an elder sister. Bella mentioned Jenny's name, which sounded familiar to her, prompting Jenny to inquire further.
Excitedly, Bella explained that Jenny was her name, sending Jenny's spirits soaring as she was grateful to Bella for helping her rediscover her identity. As it was time for Bella to leave for work, she decided to take Jenny along with her. Asking if Jenny liked the idea, she agreed, as she was bored with resting. They both donned their overcoats and set off, making a stop at a bakery for some puffs and hot chocolate.
However, the cook was working alone that day, causing a delay. Not wanting to be a burden to Bella, Jenny offered to help in the bakery. The cook agreed, and Jenny got a job. Bella left her there, promising to pick her up at 4:00 in the evening. By 2:00 pm, Jenny had finished her work and decided to explore the nearby square. In the square, she encountered her doctor, and they greeted each other and engaged in small talk.
While chatting, a man rushed through the crowd and collided with Jenny. Recognizing his eyes, Jenny realized it was the person she had encountered in the woods. Before she could say anything, he hurriedly got up and ran away. Jenny, ignoring the gathering crowd, chased after him with all her might. However, still recovering from her injuries, she couldn't match his speed. She followed him to the village gate, where she suddenly heard Bella's agonized voice.
A crowd had gathered around Bella, who had been injured with fang marks on her neck. Everyone turned pale, and an old father from the church proclaimed, "They are back." Confused about whom he was referring to, Jenny saw the doctor arrive, and together they took Bella to the clinic. The doctor, a specialist in such treatments, cleaned Bella's wounds and applied the necessary remedies. Curious, Jenny asked the doctor about the father's remark, but he brushed it off.
Afterward, they transported Bella back to her home, and the doctor hastily departed, appearing visibly angry. Bella rested in her room, and as the doctor left, he unknowingly dropped his black ring. Jenny found the ring and went to the clinic to return it but saw the doctor heading towards the village gate, moving toward the woods. Intrigued, Jenny decided to follow him. The woods appeared ominous, but she pressed on.
After a short distance, the doctor encountered a person—the man with the blue eyes. The doctor scolded him, seemingly sharing a deep connection. He blamed the man for endangering the girl (presumably Bella) and then they both vanished in a flash. Jenny was left shocked and filled with a mixture of fear, curiosity, and excitement. She returned home and the next day, the doctor visited the two girls. He examined Bella first and was pleased to see her recovery.
Then he examined Jenny, whose mind was buzzing with thousands of questions. After the check-up, Jenny returned the doctor's ring, and he departed. Bella and Jenny went about their day, attending their respective jobs. Once Jenny finished her work at the bakery, she went to the clinic, surprising the doctor with her presence. Since the clinic was crowded, she politely requested a meeting in the village square. Concerned about Jenny's anxious demeanor, the doctor couldn't refuse.
They met in a less crowded area of the square, and Jenny, known for her directness, asked the doctor about his relationship with the man with blue eyes. This question made the doctor tense, and he inquired about whom she was referring to. Jenny revealed that she had followed the doctor to the woods the previous night. The doctor was surprised to hear this, and suddenly, everything went black before him.
He tightly gripped Jenny's hand and led her to an isolated corner. In the process, Jenny got a cut on her hand, with a trickle of blood, but she disregarded it. She continued asking questions about their identities and origins. The doctor warned her that her life was at risk and urged her to return home immediately. Jenny was bewildered by his words when she noticed a girl approaching at lightning speed.
Panicking, Jenny ran towards her house, almost reaching it, when she felt a hand on her shoulder, freezing her in terror. It was the man with the blue eyes. He asked Jenny to follow him, and with no other choice, she complied, obedient like a child. He took her deep into the woods, momentarily stopping the bleeding with a leaf. Then, he held her tightly and climbed to the top of the tallest tree, astonishing Jenny with his speed.
There, they had a profound moment of connection without uttering a single word but rather communicating through their eyes. Afterwards, he gently brought her down in the same manner. Understanding that Jenny needed a proper explanation, the doctor took her to a house hidden in the forest, unknown to others. He claimed it was his house, and it was a beautiful place, akin to a dream.
He disclosed that someone had abandoned Jenny in the woods, severely injured and on the brink of death. They had found her and brought her to this house, where they nursed her back to health. She had stayed there for over four months. One day, as she attempted to open her eyes, they had returned her to the very spot they found her because it was challenging for her to accept their truth.
The doctor revealed that his name was Edward, and his son's name was James. He explained that during her time in the village, James had taken care of her, even when they had left her behind. James had kept a watchful eye on her, even within the village. Edward shared the most bitter truth with her, but the details are yet to be revealed.
