THIRD-PERSON POV:
Awful night, moon unseen in Cheiatro cemetery. Crows began chirping, it's a foggy night of the dead. People gave flowers to their dead loved one's meanwhile, one girl laughed upon distant in equinoctial darkness speaking
"I've been born here, so every person will die the way my sister died." Wearing red dress with splashes of blood. Every human in the cemetery who had witnessed her, shakily ran while others who remained, beheaded by her and eat them one-by-one.
DASHA POV:
Warm dawn was felt with stormy darkness; I woke up shortly four am, getting ready early for the Ball. My mind seeks someone—William. Maybe I just miss Leo so much that I don't mind as long as I see his face.
At first, the atmosphere was accompanied by thick fog, me wearing my gown go upstairs to William. I want him to know what it feels like being in a Ball. The moment I take my breath and arrange my hair, he just appears at my front holding my waist and hand, staring at one another.
"Little butterfly looking for me too soon? I'll show you how the Cannibal Prince dances."
He gently pulled me towards him and said while smiling (Playing I bleed for you...) And added
"We're like roses, and you're a little butterfly, our thorns may harm you, but it's up to you if you will fall for us or not either way there is pain and there's no going back."
The time he said those words, I feel attracted to his soulful calming voice, he's also a deep kind of person. I am speechless of what I heard from William, this time he's sweet and romantic. He surely knows how to get a woman's heart.
Truthfully, Cheiatro Princes have their charm, but now I conclude there are two of them knocking to my heart, Theodoro and William. Hmmm... I like Camp, but I think he's friendly to all girls and Novel... Is a mean one. After thinking all those things, William suddenly hugs me and I don't know why.
"Thank you, Nova." (teardrops)
"Call me Dasha, please."
I feel his body starting to warm and heart's pounding like avalanche bursting as well as, I. out of the blue one familiar voice shouts.
" I said you're mine Dasha, why you choose to be with William when you can choose to be with me. When I said you're mine... I mean it!"
He just vanished while I was blinking my eyes. William laid on the floor, closing his eyes, speaks
" What Theo wants, he'll get it dead or alive... You'll see what his dark side is in his room."
Cold air embraces my body and out of curiosity, my feet takes steps going into Theo's room.
"Oh No!" (She puts her hand on her mouth).
Is this really done by Theo? Bloodless pale beautiful women's and corpes laying on his bed.
"Hello Love." It's Theo.
Wearing his usual black coat, then I asked,
"Who are these ladies? Why are they dead, and some are corpses?"
"These love, are women who obsessively in love with me and the corpses are women who declined my love for them. Either way, they end up in my domain, giving all their flesh and bones to me."
His human less voice tone spoke. What's wrong with this guy? These women are innocent and have their decision. This is nothing like love but madness. Either way, am I going to end up like these women too?
"I should... Why, Theo, what's the reason of all these terrible things?" (turning)
I said, stepping forward to him.
"It's fun! Consuming humans after all I'm the 3rd cannibal Prince, leaving their blood running in my veins makes me potent, and you're next. I'm badly obsessed with you!"
He shouts, choking me, ready to eat me... I fiercely look at him...
"You want to kill her in the name of love, Theo? Go ahead, but first, let me end you."
It's Novel's voice and Theo immediately releases me; there I was fainting on the floor, can't barely breath. Novel carries me to my room singing.
" Now let the day just passed away, so, the dark night may watch over you. Velvet blue, silent true... It embraces your heart and your soul... Nocturne..." Hearing the song makes me sleepy, so, I did.
NOVEL POV:
What a nice day, it's the first ever ball with Dasha. Due to excitement I wake up early hearing wolf's howl in the moonlight. (Drinking blood) Later, I heard Dasha's footsteps going upstairs. That girl is not afraid of death, isn't she? (Continues drinking blood silently.) Few moments, I go upstairs following her, she enters Theo's room... Not in there... I immediately run fast, (His anger breaks his glass of blood). Theo chokes her, she might run out of air
"You want to kill her in the name of love, Theo? Go ahead but let me finish you first"
Besides, that kid is under of me and Camp. Then I gently carry Dasha into her room singing some lullaby that our mother once taught us (putting her on the bed and touches her hair silently). "There's a part of me telling that we're somehow connected, Dasha... I will find out what it is." *kissing her forehead.
A knock on the door, Camp enters...
"What happened to her?" Camp asks.
"Theo has been obsessed with her, she'll end up dead if we don't stand up for her," I answered with staright face.
"Heal yourself Dasha, we will be guarding you." Camp holding her hand.
I should go upstairs... Then, William on his room leaning on his door.
"Is she okay?"
I told him that Dasha is now alright, sleeping.
"Dasha... The first time, I held her until now, I felt that my nonexistent heart beats Novel..."
He sighs. When my brother speaks those words, I know exactly how he feels about her, just like me. She may eventually heal William if they fell in love together, and I'll be the person that silently loves her.
"You don't know who she is and where she came from, Will—"
William interrupt and said
"She's Dasha...the reason of my existence."
Theo sarcastically enters the conversation
"The one who madly love her is me!"
I chock Theo.
"You almost kill her, Theo, do it again, or I will rip your tongue out!" * throwing him on the wall. CRACK!
NOVA POV:
My dream, my dream is vivid but strangely felt real. I'm in a room, a white room like laboratory, inside this glass like fish without water. I moved my hand and trying to see what's on the monitor. No one is guarding me inside. I just saw myself in the monitor with Camp, Novel, and Will. Like a comic. This is the real world! I'm being experimented, someone is toying with me. I want to get up and break the glass in front of me, but my body can't, barely move. Not only that, but I lost conscious once again.
*Back to the Cheiatro Palace
"AHHHHHH!"...
"What's the matter, Dasha?"
It's Camp, I'm back in this fake world once again. How do i get out of here. If this is a comic story I must do something thatbend this story.
"My heart tastes bad, I have HIV, heart disease, and Coronavirus, so don't you dare eat me."
Crap, what did I just say.
"Easy, breath, my Lady"
Camp laughed hard while I breathe.
"Remember what I said a few days ago that you're one deadly butterfly? We will never drink nor eat you, just like what Natalia's sister want to do."
Now I understand I'm the only real person here, every one of them was just a character from the comic I just saw on the monitor.
"You're one especial person for us, none could ever replace you," he added.
I don't felt delighted for I know that this are all part of the story but I can get along peacefully and get through this.
"We should go to the ball Camp and wear these masks," I excitedly held him outside. OUCH! (bumped with Novel) "Come on Novel, there's a ball waiting for us" (Smiles and holds Novel's hand too).
