What Kassandra enjoyed a lot was hanging around with Jacken. They really were the perfect siblings with just a year of a difference, he was 24 while she was 23. Although they were a bit disconnected, because her brother had a hard time being vulnerable.
- I heard there were some complications in your kitchen today?, - Jacken teased his sister.
- Cooking during the day is not a good idea, here is a piece try it!
- You bring the food you cook with yourself?!, - he looked a bit confused.
They were going down to the Granada and for some reason Kassandra had some of the pancakes she made with herself.
- I brought one especially for you!, - Kassy said.
Jacken tried it and said:
- I think the only taste that still survived there was the one of the blood!
- And what did you expect? It practically exploded!
Jacken gave a hug to his sister as they walked down the road.
- I get how you are feeling, but do not worry I am not letting them marry you unless you agree!, - he tried to comfort his sister with his confident voice.
- I know you would try! You always protected me since we were at school!
- I did not do it exactly always.
- Sorry I shouldn't remind you of such things. I know you had a hard time with personal power.
- I am ashamed of myself thinking of all those times I ignored when other vampires sucked on your blood.
- Do not be harsh on yourself! I do not blame you for your anxieties., - his sister always tried not to hurt him at this delicate matter.
- Anxieties made me who I am now!, - he felt the need to activate his protection mechanism, - I do not need anyone's mercy!
Her brother took his hands off her and she noticed that she managed to make him unhappy at the instant.
- But I didn't mean too...
- You do not blame me?!, - he looked disappointed for some reason, - I am leaving!
- In moments like this I am really afraid that you hate me Jacken, - and she tried to put her hand around his belly so she could hear his thoughts.
- Do not touch me!, - he screamed and took her hand off, - I..., - and he turned around and started walking.
- Alright I'm going to drink alone!, - she answered back at him and headed to the Granada., - Please don't hate me Jacken, - she said to him with tears in her eyes.
As she walked down, she really asked herself how could this strong guy still be affected by past traumas so much that be got mad at her for reminding him. Maybe he blamed her for the fact that he was bullied, maybe because she couldn't protect him when he needed. And she was mas at herself for touching his brother's wound.
Stress makes a vampire thirsty, so she hurried and ended up in front of a house when she smelled a blood that especially tasted her. She entered through the window and showed her teeth and the blood vessels around her eyes in front of the girl she found in the house. It was in the corridors and she didn't think at nothing, but threw herself over her.
- You are not afraid, - she said looking her in the eyes. Than started sucking her blood out of her hand.
Suddenly an arrow shot her in the back and she screamed in pain, as the girl escaped. Thank god it wasn't in the heart, for so little. The man tried to shoot her again, everything happened so fast, she tried to escape and after to fight him, but couldn't with the arrow inside. The man had his eyes on her, he saw her as a monster and he was determined to kill her. She felt the fear and felt helpless.
Exactly at the moment she thought it was over for her, but a bone crack was heard and the man fell on the floor. It was ber brother breaking the man's neck. Jacken had come back for her and she never felt happier with seeing him.
- Are you alright?, - Jacken ran worried over his sister, took her in his hands and got the arrow out of her.
- Jacky, you came back for me?, - she got emotional.
- Of course I did!, I am so sorry, I should have never let you alone!
- But how did you know?
- Mother told me there were some dead vampires., - he told her, - That humans were organized and had taken precautions, they doubted something strange was happening in their town.
All Kassandra payed attention to was her brother's arms keeping her safe and she started crying and said:
- I thought you hated me! I am wrong right?
- Oh no Kassy! How could I, - Jacken said holding her and kissed her on the forehead, - I would burn the entire forest and the Granada down for you! I love you!
This was one of the happiest moments of her life, the words of her brother warmed her heart up!
- We will wait just a minute for your wound to heal completely and than we will go back!, - he went on.
- Alright!!, - Kassy said, and her brother felt she was happier.
He put his hand on her belly and entered her thoughts, he noticed she was worried, but at the same time happy.
