DASHA POV:
Worried voice tapping me and calling out "Lady Nova!"
When I opened my eyes I saw this man wearing noble coat with a brown hair; brown-reddish eyes, pale skin, and warm smile he touches my hair. Who is he, what's with the outfit, the cold hands, worrying look, and all the above. I haven't seen him before. Where exactly am I?
"Pardon, have you already forgotten your husband, fiancée, Camp Cheiatro, it's been two months when I have done this introduction thing."
"Have you lost your sense, Nova?"
This man is totally insane, I just met him today, really weird. We have made this brief conversation, I felt youthful warm friendship between us, and it turns out that I'm Nova Fedorova 21 at this time is different and the thing that makes me sick knows that I'm living with cannibal princes-yes someone who ate human in this cannibal Kingdom! Right here talking to me. I must really been out of my senses today.
"Camp Cheiatro? Please address me using the name Dasha."
He gave me a red ring.
"You dropped this ring Dasha, I will wear that if I were you, so I wouldn't become fresh meat... By the way, I'm just fooling you around in the fiancée part, seems like you totally believed me."
Did he just smirk? What an insane psycho, so I bug outside my room trying to wander around this place, trying to find calmness. It's quite big, I guess there's a lot of room upstairs. Right I'm in a palace … So dark. It's like I'm in a horror film or something, and it feels somebody is staring at me this whole time.
I can't even imagine myself looking at this man staring at me, thirsty.
"Empty lady, give me some blood."
I gave him the one near me, then he came closer towards me, estimated two inches away from each other.
"I will see no dust in my room tomorrow, or I will let you sleep outside people's grave."
He just gave me a threat, drinking that fresh blood, and walked away. I see, is this another world of hell? I'm living somewhere in the past with this Cheiatro sibling man-eater princes that I don't even know. At least I'm breathing, for now.
(Taking deep breath).
THIRD-PERSON POV:
[Six hours ago 11:11 pm, 720]
Clock struck 11, he was on a great distance from Cheiatro Palace, a pale man in red coat worriedly seek someone. Darkness indeed were visible, surprised emotion roughly understood when he found her, former Nova Fedorova which is now Dasha laying next on the well unconscious. Time could not count the speed when he jumped towards her in cold air. Couldn't keep his mind off her. That's Camp Cheiatro 17-year-old looking man pumped her heart and kissed her to give her some air. Hurriedly opened the door that cause big noise.
"You almost killed yourself, stubborn girl"
Now playing (Pearl Jam Black) I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky
But why, why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine? …..
NOVEL CHEIATRO POV:
She always keeps on crossing my mind, Nova, soulless girl that stayed here two months ago usually wearing black velvet dress. She got this irresistible scent everywhere. Every sunset, she plays piano with the emptiness tone that I could feel. This girl with fiery red hair will easily catch your attention, and she always prefers silence which we have in common too, bad that I can't kill nor compel her for its King Matteiu's order. He's been finding cure for us to be set free by this cannibalism curse.
*flashback
Nova playing piano with her eyes up- no thoughts, cannibal men like us have different kind of special ability, mine is mental telepathy, I can hear one's thought humans, and even vampires. (playing Silence~ Beethoven) then I entered (putting two hands at the back) I started to make a conversation, "Lad..." but then she nodded her head not saying anything, not even looking at me. She's so empty or yet a book that never opens.
The next day, I saw her standing at the garden still no thoughts, I went to her just before I arrived she just walked out leaving me. That's when I saw butterflies that she putted on roses thorns, killed by her.
I have been living for centuries, I've never seen such soulless human being dehumanized like her, I guess it takes miracle to change her, having hope for this lost girl.
One night I saw her from my window holding human blood wine. "What a scene"
She fell on that well but before that, I saw these shadows pushed her, so, I hurriedly went there (heard no sound of her voice). Her head bleed I thirst for her blood then I seek for her ring, so I could protect her from me. Finally, when light replaced darkness, I saw the ring right in the front door and when I came back, Camp already saved her (silently putting the ring back in the front door).
Camp hurriedly went inside, whispered, "you almost killed yourself, stubborn girl."
I'm on the couch, pretending that I'm sleeping.
"You care Novel, that's a good thing, right?"
Whispered my little brother SKK what a softie which I can clearly hear him-perks of being me. Before I continue, did not misunderstand that I'm proud of being cannibal, taking bloodbath or drinking them makes us live long, eating human is like eating pork for us. It's a curse that caused my emptiness. We're struggling to deal with sunlight which causes heart attack when it touches our skin like vampires, but we die like humans, sword, knife, and being poisoned. Thanks to King Matteiu which gives us Tyrell- (ring, necklace, ornaments or bracelet which repel us from being burn by the sun). Actually we're like ordinary people though sometimes we are tempted to eat human.
End of flashback.
[Hours later]
I'm thirsty, so I went downstairs, smelled this familiar scent. There she was looking at me, but something strangely changes, including the fact that she's looking at me. She stared at me with her innocent gray eyes, pupil even dilated, that bothered me. Her long fiery hair became lively.
"I will see no dust in my room tomorrow, or I will let you sleep an outside people's grave."
That's the thing first came in my mind, so let it be. This girl changed, as if she does not know me this time, I can hear for the first time that she spoke through her mind, "cannibal men that I don't even know, at least I'm breathing for now," that fear makes me smirk.
