Chereads / Elena Ferraz : In the city of the Undead / Chapter 9 - Walk in the Garden

Chapter 9 - Walk in the Garden

Victor already had his patience about to run out, Henrique continued to talk, talk and talk. He was not even listening to him, he would even come to believe in some divinity as long as the train arrived soon and saved him from this martyrdom. Ghoul number four came over and made a hand gesture that meant rebels.

"Ghoul 4." The green-haired ghoul approached. "You have been with me for years, wait and choose the ones that go to our family. Don't let me down."

Victor left the station, if he waited longer he could start a fight with the Burndrinkers, Henrique's family. His bad mood soon improved when he remembered the little wolf that was waiting for him at home, he would have to contact the Poweback soon, they are the only Vrykolaka clan that still exists.

As the leader of the Fernsby, he can feel the presence of everyone in the family up to a kilometer away. Was Elena in the gardens of the house with ghoul 32 and Olaf or Courtney? Nature's draugs were a little easy to confuse, their presence was similar to the plants of their symbiosis, Olaf and Courtney had the same type of plant

When he arrived in the garden he saw Elena sitting laughing and talking to Olaf, Alice had her eyes closed sitting next to them.

"So you live in the yard? But doesn't the sun hurt you?"

"Sun does not harm Olaf, Olaf likes the sun" Olaf's English was a little complicated to understand, his mentality was between a 3 to 6 year old child.

"Draugs get more than get feed by doing symbiosis with plants, they are the most alive undead among us." Victor smiled at Elena and sat across from her. "Don't worry, I will train you and when your rank goes up, you can see the sun again."

Olaf took a flower from his back and handed it to Victor.

"Mom said flower is for pretty girls." He pointed to Elena.

"My mom said flowers should be given to pretty girls," Corrected Courtney, the draug stuck her head out of the lake, corrected Olaf and then came back.

"Who?" Elena tried to see who had spoken, but was unable to locate her.

"Lena" Victor put his hand over hers and helped her to get up. "Why don't we just walk around the garden for a bit?"

Victor put her hair behind her ear and looked at her for a moment. Elena felt confused, this man didn't know her, but he showed so much affection and interest at her.

"In time you will understand everything. But not now"

"You ... can you read my thoughts?" She asked

"Only a few, and only if you look at me in the eyes. Don't worry about it now, the moon is so beautiful today, let's go for a walk and then we can sit on the wooden pergola and enjoy a good blood type AB. They say the taste is the same as red wine for humans, this kind of blood even makes us a little dizzy. If you drink too much can even get drunk " He put her hand on his arm and began to inform her of every type of plant, animal, insect and undead they encountered.

"This is a Yellow carnivore rose ... that over there is a Night Orchid... "

"Victor." She stoped him

"Yes Dear."

"I still like Vicent, dying ... well whatever happened to me, it won't change that." He stop to walk, and she could fell that his hands close in a punch

"Of course you won't, dear. But time passes, feelings change and everyone moves on. Vicent is alive, he is living and for all of them you are dead, as far as I know that little princess also likes him. They will cry for your loss, regret it, but one day, her feelings will overcome what she feels for your loss. And you are here, with me by my side, we have all the time in the world to make you fall for me, maybe in a few months you come to appreciate me, or maybe in a few centuries. Regardless, you're a Fernsby now, and even if you don't like me yet, I'll take care of you. " He said softly.

Elena felt tears in her eyes, she didn't even know that the dead could cry, if it was joy or sadness she didn't even know. This strange world, which she already felt part of, made her dizzy.

He wiped away her tears. "Don't cry, pretty girl, or even silly Olaf will be worry."

On the pirate ship.

Vicent was in his room remembering the strange white-haired woman, he then shook his head and took one of Elena's diaries. He had fallen in love with her at the first sight, but by that time she was already engaged, when they joined the crew his plan was to separate the two of them, who would have thought that Arthur would become his best friend.

Life was really ironic, in the diaries he saw how many things Elena and Arthur spent together, but at the end of her life they didn't talk to each other for months, the person who Elena was with was he, Vicent , and Arthur didn't even stay for the entire funeral of Elena. A part of him wonders if the answer to Arthur and Elena's fight is in one of these diaries. And if she was just with Vicent to forget Arthur. Was their love real? Or was it just a one side love ?

"Vincent" Clara voice could be heard out of his door. "Are you ok?"

"Yes" His voice falled a little.

"Really?"

"Yes, what is it ? Clara?"

"I'm just worried about you. " She stood with her back to the door and sighed a little. "I know you miss her, we all do. But, right now the people we rescue need our help. Make this job, is helping me to forget a little about her, please get out of you room. "
