An awkward situation where neither of them had anything to say.
They had many questions yet nothing came out of the mouth since they feared that the things will get more awkward, if said or asked something wrong.
Cassie who was dying to leave the office room and was feeling hard to breath because of the uncomfortable situation, rubbed her head and peeked at the door behind her.
Kye was quick to grab at it and said, "Do you want to go outside?".
Yes, I want to but please don't come with me just to keep an eyes on me! Sigh!...
"I want to and I am going now," she replied while making sure that she looks confident while speaking.
"Then go," he said and sat back on his seat while scribbling back on the documents.
Cassie tilted her head as she blankly stared him. She was sure that he would refuse to let her go alone anywhere but after hearing his reply so quickly and getting confirmation easily, she was left baffled.
Sigh.. sigh… sigh..
Lost in her puzzling thoughts she sighed unconsciously.
He frowned as he stopped with the scribble and looked at her while resting his chin on his palms.
"Why are you sighing so much? I thought that you wished to walk outside and I even permitted you but listening to your countless sighs, I guess, that's not what you really want," he said, his eyebrows twitched.
What countless sighs? It was only three times! I sighed because I was worried about your real intention. Let's forget it or I will grow wrinkles because of worrying so much on my 200 years old face.
She grinned awkwardly as if trying to hide her real thoughts from appearing on her face and said, "Of course, I am happy by your leniency! Now, I will be going".
He silently stared her as she ran out with her tiny legs. Dropping the pen which he used to scribble useless things on an important paper, he messed up his hair as if being worried about something important.
'I don't care about this world but it hurts when she looks at me with those big eyes of her which are filled with anxiety rather then love. When will she understand my love for her?' he frowned while thinking and stood up and turned back to take a look outside from the window which was a little away from his desk and behind it.
'She looks troubled and that makes me anxious! What if she ran away after finding out my love for her? What if she looked at me with her eyes filled with disgust when she realized how I feel for her? What if she come to hate me? I fear so much things that I might just die from this anxiety' he looked at her sadly from the window as she passed by.
Clenching his fist on the window sill, he gritted his teeth, his eyes shrank and wavered.
'No matter what, I won't let you go!'.
Being troubled she walked forward without having a goal. She was biting her lips, her head straight but eyes constantly looking at the green grass.
She had a troublesome expression on her face as she lost her mind after thinking about Kye's real motive hundreds of times.
Tsk! It is really bothersome since I can't get a clue, therefore I have made up my mind – I won't think about it anymore since it is tougher then humans physics exam and enjoy the days here until my power become stable.
The troublesome expression soon turned into joyful as she made sure to be happy and being in a flowery mood, she smiled.
But then again, where should I go? Everyone is reluctant to talk to me, so where should I go and what should I go… sob.. sob.. in the end I am a hopeless and aimless vampire!
"Hey, you there!" came a voice which had hesitation filled within it.
Cassie who was looking at the grass, raised her eyes just to see the person who spoke to her.
Ah.. its him, what was his name.. Lucas, right? But why is he speaking to me? Is he not scared like others and his two brother who is behind him, what about them?.
Their eyes met and she smirked cutely leaving their mouth wide open in shock.
Lucas toyed with his red hair while nervously looking at her. Just like Cassie, he was suspicious of her intentions in saving them from Kye and he asked bluntly, "Why did you lied to the king and saved us?".
Cassie who was drowned in her thoughts almost found it difficult to remember what he meant and she tilted her head, "What are you saying?".
Jimmy put his hand on Lucas left shoulder as he sighed and shook his head in dismay. He glared at Cassie and then suddenly ignored her by looking away, "She is just a child who is having trouble in remembering what happened just a day before, so forget it and let's go".
Cassie felt annoyed just by getting ignored and frowned, "No you can't go without making it clear and who said I forget it because I am a child, its because I have many things to remember".
Jimmy continued to ignore her as if she doesn't exist but Lucas was reluctant to leave without asking her the reason and he said, "No Jimmy, I need an answer or I will keep rolling at night rather then sleeping".
Cassie snickered as she looked at Jimmy as if mocking him for ignoring her earlier but soon started to remember the things he was talking about.
As she came to remember it, she grinned proudly, "Now, I finally remember it! But it seems that your brother doesn't wish to hear it, so I will be going now".
Lucas panicked and blocked her way as she turned back to walk away, "I wanna know it, so don't care about him and tell me!".
She chuckled and glanced at Jimmy as if provoking him with her smile, her eyebrows lifted up and down in sync just to annoy him, and teeth dazzling with the sunlight.
"Well, if you really want to know then I will tell you," she said.
Lucas nodded curiously and quickly while Jimmy continued to put a polite smile while his eyebrow continued to twist.
Cassie gave it a thought since she couldn't say that she helped them because they looked cute and handsome as a child and came up with an idea, "It was your brother.. umm.. what was his name.. yeah, Joey! He stood up for me when that fat man approached me, so I helped you three to repay".
Joey flushed and looked at the grass to hide his shy look in his eyes. Jimmy and Lucas both looked at him suspiciously.
He didn't gave much of a thought to their stare and stepped forward and stood beside Lucas.
Slowly looking at her but at the same time glancing other way to hide his shyness, he said, "I am thankful to you for protecting me and my brothers. Please forget about our rude behavior toward you earlier, we are apologetic for that".
She giggled and patted his shoulder while showing her teeth, "No worry, child like you are the cutest ones, unlike these two. Then how about becoming my friend and playing with me".
Cassie who was quite confident that they will succumb to her great self got a direct rejection on her face from Jimmy.
"Are you kidding me? Why would we become a friend of a small child such as you… we don't have time to play house with you neither the time to take care of you. Now, go back and sleep in a cradle," said Jimmy arrogantly.
Cassie gasped and fumed as she pouted after hearing the insult thrown at her.
"What do you mean by play house and what cradle? Look here child, I am more older….".
She stopped in the middle of her shouting as she felt something weird in the air.
If I am not wrong then it's the smell of a vampire blood! But what is a vampire doing here? Does the wolves gang brought the vampire here to kill him?
Her eyebrows furrowed and face having a serious expression, eyes looking aimlessly and mind lost in thoughts.
"Don't be so cruel, brother Jim! If you don't want to become her friend, I will become," said Joey to Jimmy.
Jimmy frowned but got another stab of words from Lucas. "Jimmy! You shouldn't be so cruel to a five year old child, look she is having a weird expression right now. What will you do if she cries?" said Lucas.
Jimmy gulped and coughed as he felt embarrassed after hearing his twin brother words which were against him, but before he could say anything, Cassie walked straight and passed by him.
His eyes big and he looked back at her.
"Where the hell are you going? Stop there, you are not allowed to go anywhere until I finish my words," Jimmy said as he felt that Cassie was crushing his ego by ignoring him.
Lucas created a bum on Jimmy head and said, "See what you have done! She is running away while crying!".
