I am not a human. I am a vampire.
I am already high of what I could possibly do but then the smile was immediately wiped off my face.
How will I tell Papa, Grandma, Miro, and Rain that?
That I am more of the person they knew. And that I am the same kind that ruined their used-to-be peaceful life? And I am probably why they had to encounter such tragedy.
Can they accept me for it? Or will I have to keep myself away for their solace? I just turned to be... the threat to their life.
And how shameless of me to ridicule Damien and Akin, when I am also the exact danger as them.
To obscure my worries, I seamlessly started touring myself with the same face I had when we entered. And it was difficult because apparently, it is Akin I am with.
Cause it was like he is intentionally reckoning to stare everywhere except me. As if he knew my thoughts despite me being muted about it.
"This is my father's place," he talked when I remain my shush as time extends.
"And yours?" I continued.
"Also Ryelia's,"
I nodded and my thoughts started tying to each.
Of course, this is theirs. He is her lover. And it is great when lovers share each other's places. As they should. I realized... I shouldn't actually gone this far. This is their place. And I have to stay on my ground.
"Let's go home? I already felt tired of the runs," I chuckled, though I am sure I am not a bit worn off on that rounds. "Maybe let's learn about the things I am curious about with Damien too. After all, he is my brother too! You can tag Ryelia along with us," I gaily suggested.
I turned to him cause he didn't respond and I got dazed at the intensity of his bold gaze.
"Do you want me to say something or do you want to ask me something more?"
I friendly wrinkled my nose at him. "Next time, Akin. I am a bit sleepy now so let's discuss things again next time? When my mind is fully cooperating. You know, I have to take note of every little detail you'll be giving me. Right now I might miss some. And by the way, thank you for letting me visit your used-to-be house, I didn't thought you had this huge of a palace as your home!"
His eyes remained on me as if solving a particular puzzle he is near to accomplish.
"This isn't a home to me, Reishza. But here is where our families concluded their fates. I believe it is one of the places you should learn to understand what you've missed,"
"Hmmm..." I trailed to keep up of our conversation. "Are our family a friend of each other?"
"The reverse, Reishza,"
"Oh,"
I dread to ask more of it but I guess I should just let it slip this time.
Our eyes met as my mind traverse to more of the other topic.
And this time, with the way his jaw clenches, I believed he had it all decoded in his mind.
"Are you sure you don't want to ask me something, or other things, more?" he probed.
I felt like he is keeping up with what is wrong with me, but it was impossible. Perhaps he actually didn't. And it was just me and these sudden bombarding information and the different individualities that made me perceive things beyond what they are actually.
"Those were just my questions for now," I concluded and he understood it.
"Let's go?" I suggested and when he nodded I sprinted out but only to stop when in the midst of my speed he caught up with me and effortlessly carried me in his arms again.
"You do not know the way," he stated.
And there I realize my face is giving me away. I didn't question anymore. And just dedicated myself to not cling my hands to his neck even in the most rocky and endangering pits and heights.
