"Did Miss Vanessa not feel well? Valeska is worried about Miss."
She helped me by holding out her little hand. I want to grab her hands but it felt strange. That's just a glimpse, even momentarily but she's like smiling and staring at me like a devil. Is this girl an ordinary person? It is weird!
"Miss Vanessa?" Her little hand towards her, wanting to touch her face.
Vanessa presently, "DON'T TOUCH ME!"
"Ah!"
Valeska who want to help her instead fell to the floor in surprise. Furthermore, she saw the face of Vanessa's wrath against her. Rather than fear. She suddenly cried so loud.
Vanessa is not concerned with the cries of the little girl and doesn't care at all.
"I'm sorry, Miss Vanessa!"
Some of the servants who heard her cry was coming then wondering about what happen.
"Did something happen, Miss Valeska?"
"...I'm sorry, Miss Vanessa....did Valeska do something wrong to Miss?"
Valeska didn't answer any of the servant's questions and asked her.
"Miss?"
This girl is really bringing us trouble!
"Take this girl to her room!"
Until a few minutes later after her commands, Vanessa left them all and headed to her room.
The way to her room with uneasy feelings. She hated this feeling and wanted to eliminate it.
"I don't know why. I'm feeling strange with that girl. I hope that girl is gone forever."
Alone in her room for hours without eating or drinking. Vanessa ended up sitting on the bed, looking at her hand.
Knock...Knock...Knock...
"Miss Vanessa, are you alright inside?"
The servants had knocked on her door however still no answer at all. They feel worried about her.
"What is going on in here?"
"Your Highness the 7th Prince?"
The 7th Prince, Victor, has come back from his personal business. His eyes glanced at the door, "I'll talk to her."
I come here as soon as possible after hearing the news. I never thought it will be like this? Vanessa is such of drama.
Knock..."Vanessa, it's me...Victor..."
That vampire man knocked on her door multiple times. Like before, no answer. However when he holds the door handles. The door was not locked and he went inside without confirmation.
"...?"
I was greeted with a dark, messy room, the bed is covered with a thin curtain and that woman was sitting silently, beautifully.
"Hey, Young Lady."
It looks like she know if I was there and I sat next to her then spoke slowly.
"Ehem...I don't know what should we do with you. But lately, you be acting weird. What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm fine," Vanessa answered his question very quickly.
"Look at me."
She didn't want to see my face at all. She never behaved like this. What should I do to get you back as usual? Could it be?
"Hey...I know what you need right now."
She was confused, "Pardon?"
"Want to go to see the beautiful night sky?"
"Night sky?"
Victor smiled at me while holding out his hand. Again I can't stop looking at him and being carried away by the atmosphere. My hand moved by itself, grabbed his hand.
What's wrong with me?
"Let's go!"
I stand up. Our position is the front of the balcony door. I wondered and he started to run while holding my hand. I surprised! We jumped from the balcony. Of course, I wasn't ready!
"Waaa!"
He shouted, "Hold on tight!"
"What?! Victor...!"
Vanessa was frightened and closed her eyes. Doesn't feel anything, she deliberately opened her eyes and could not believe what she was seeing right now.
The clouds around them, along with the stars that accompany dazzling light.
Her eyes dazzled like diamonds. Her face is blushing because of the beautiful scenery.
"Do you like it?" He was there behind her asked.
Does he have a fly ability?
"How...How you.."
"It's a secret."
Victor who was behind me suddenly hugged me tightly. My heart was beating fast again.
"Vanessa...don't be like this, please. I want Vanessa I know."
His soft tone of voice makes me unable to control this feeling. I turned to him and then hugged him back.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
But still...it's still hurt. What should I do?
"Vanes.."
"Just five minutes and I'll let you go."
Victor looked at the full moon and said. "Yes, it's okay."
At night I should see a beautiful sky. But I just spent the time to continue to embrace him and throw off this feeling. Victor is a good man. Even though he's a vampire half-human. He's so kind and has accompanied me since the beginning.
One day I want to tell everything inside my heart. Are you gonna accept it? Or you will reject me?
I don't know what to do.
"Thank you, Your Highness, the 7th Prince for this beautiful night."
His scent makes me think of our memories. What an extraordinary memory.
"Let's go back. I'm feeling better right now." Vanessa smiled at him.
"Yeah, let's go back."
And we go back to our mansion. He carried me and put me down on the balcony. Before he goes. He kisses my hands with full of respect.
"Good night, Miss Vanessa."
He waved his hands as he flew, landed on the ground, and left the place.
"Good night too, Your Highness."
Vanessa had no expression after he leaves. She come inside her room, decided to close the balcony door, also with the curtains.
As always, greeted with the whole room which was dark a messy room.
She cast out a small magic fire in her hand and then headed towards the fireplaces. Fire magic in her hand, she threw it into the fireplace.
"Hm, it's been a while. The vampire teeth I have started to show up again. Maybe I need to scrape my teeth?"
Behind those pink lips, there are two sharp teeth.
"And yes, tomorrow we will return to the capital."
This means is our last night in this mansion. After ten years in this mansion. I miss my old room so much. What about father? Is he alright? Of course, he will be fine. He's the strongest vampire.
By the way we come back date is my father's birthday. Should I buy a gift when we return?
For so many years, vampires and the other races expect human. We have a long lifespan. For example like me and Victor.
Although Victor's half-human, he still has the blood of a vampire.
"Hooaaam...Time was running very fast." Vanessa feel sleepy and glanced toward the fireplace. She was thinking about something.
Victor likes that girl. I feel pity for him. His time with the girl is only temporary. How old is she, 12? Meanwhile Victor will reach the mature age of a vampire.
Remember Victor....someone like us there is words from our ancestors.
"There is nothing eternal in this world. Everything will be gone in the blink of an eye and for us that have a long journey."
Vanessa gave a deep sigh, then close her eyes while saying it.
"...For us that have a long lifespan. Something temporary will only leave pain in our hearts."
I don't want to impose my desire myself to get something. But if this is important for my life. I will get it, no matter who you are. Are you understand?
