Chereads / The Cursed Vampire / Chapter 2 - Dangerous Creature

Chapter 2 - Dangerous Creature

Down the pedestrian route in the Shaded Hills, Eleanore showed no sign of slowing down.

Eleanore could feel the cool breeze blowing against her face and also gently touching her hair. She liked the atmosphere here, although it was a little scary, it could make Eleanore calm.

One of the peaks in the Shaded Hills could be seen from afar, Eleanore quickened her pace to quickly get there. She can't wait to calm herself down on the edge of the valley above.

Finally, Eleanore set foot on one of the peaks in the Shaded Hills. Eleanore first put down her luggage, then later she sat on the edge of the valley in the mountains.

The expanse of forest and the sparkling city below made Eleanore finally able to show her beautiful smile. "Finally, I can breathe freely here," muttered Eleanore as she spread her arms and closed her eyes to enjoy the breeze touching her body.

"It's calm in here," said Eleanore very happy, finally after so long she could enjoy the peace in Shaded Hills again.

Eleanore opened her eyes and enjoyed the scene in front of her right now. The sky was already dark with stars, the expanse of sparkling light from the city, and also the quiet and peaceful atmosphere of the forest on the mountain, Eleanore was very grateful to still be able to enjoy an atmosphere like this.

But, again luck was not on Eleanor's side, suddenly the sky was originally clear and filled with stars, and now the sky has turned cloudy and rumbling sounds began to hear.

"Geez! Why is it raining now?" Eleanore cursed in annoyance when she saw that the weather was starting to become unfavourable.

Eleanore quickly grabbed her things and rushed down the mountains. Unfortunately, she had climbed quite high, so it took quite a while to get to the bottom again.

Eleanore had only passed a quarter of the way, but the rain had already fallen on the forest, not to mention that the lightning had started to strike, and the sky was rumbling loudly too, adding to Eleanore's anxiety.

"Damn, how is this? I have to find shelter." Eleanore hugged her belongings tightly, looking around for shelter.

After wildly looking around, Eleanore saw a cave that seemed like she could use for shelter. Immediately Eleanore ran into the cave.

Before entering the cave, Eleanor had to part the ivy that was creeping at the entrance of the cave. Only then could she goes in and takes shelter there.

Once inside the cave, Eleanore immediately positioned herself to sit in there and put down her things. Seeing that her coat was drenched in the pouring rain, Eleanore decided to take it off and only leave the shirt on her body.

"When will it stop, if it's like this," Eleanore muttered as she saw through the ivy that blocked the entrance of the cave, the rain outside was very heavy with a loud rumbling.

Eleanore looked around and realized that the cave was quite wide but too dark in the depths of the cave. Eleanore couldn't see what was in there.

Too lazy to explore, Eleanore averted her eyes and preferred to look outside to see if there was any sign of the rain letting up.

Eleanore had waited a long time for the heavy rain to stop, she had been waiting for two hours but saw no sign that the rain would stop and let her go home.

Sighing tiredly, Eleanore began to feel something strange in the depths of the cave, as if someone was calling her to go deeper into the cave.

Slowly, Eleanore turned her head towards the depths of the cave and finally, she felt her curiosity begin to increase and overcome her laziness, besides she was tired of sitting pensively in the cave for two hours.

"Should I go there?" Eleanore thought, quite hesitant to explore the cave.

Finally, boredom and curiosity overcame her laziness, Eleanore got up from her sitting position and started to take the cellphone in her pants pocket as a medium of lighting that she would use.

With slow steps, Eleanore pointed her cell phone's flashlight forward and so did her steps. The deeper into the cave, Eleanore saw that the cave had a pretty good layout. As if someone lived and settled there.

As Eleanore explored, she accidentally stepped on something on the floor of the cave, with a feeling of fear starting to creep up on her, Eleanore slowly turned her head down to see what she had stepped on.

"Geez!" How shocked Eleanore was when she realized that she had stepped on a pool of blood.

Surprised, Eleanore immediately covered her mouth so as not to make another sound. Her body began to tremble slowly when she realized that she had entered the wrong cave.

While her mind was in turmoil after seeing the pool of blood, Eleanore felt behind her body as if someone had passed her. On reflex, Eleanore turned her head back to see who was behind her.

However, when Eleanore turned around she saw no one there. Relieved that there was no one behind her, Eleanore turned her gaze back to the front.

"WAAAAAA!" Eleanore screamed when she found a figure standing still in the darkness not far from her position.

"Wh-who are you?!" asked Eleanore with a shivering body a mixture of cold and fear.

In her mind, Eleanore was wondering, if the rumours about Vampires being confined in the Shaded Hills existed, really she still didn't want to die, why did she have to meet this evil figure.

The figure still kept its mouth shut not answering the question asked by Eleanore. Still curious, Eleanore pointed her cell phone's flashlight in the direction where the figure was standing still.

When she saw the form of that figure, Eleanor was at a loss as to how to react. On one side she was very scared right now, but on the other side, she fell in awe of that handsome figure in front of her.

How can Eleanore not be mesmerized when in front of you is a handsome man with short blonde curls, not to mention his tall and slender body. For a moment, Eleanore was silent enjoying the beauty of the figure in front of her.

"Are you done admiring my appearance?" Suddenly the figure of a handsome man let out a voice and turned to ask Eleanore.

Embarrassed at being caught staring at someone so intensely, Eleanore finally took her eyes off the handsome man in front of her. "I-I'm sorry, didn't mean to look at you like that." Eleanore answered without looking the man in the eye.

Unrevealed to Eleanore, the handsome man grinned happily when he saw the girl in front of him avoid his gaze. "Look at me!" the man ordered with his eyes burning bright red.

As if under hypnosis, Eleanore immediately obeyed when she heard the handsome man order her to stare at him. Eleanore was surprised when she saw the man's eyes had turned bright red, but her body and lips could only stay still and couldn't move an inch.

With slow steps, the handsome man walked toward Eleanore with an evil grin etched on his face. It didn't take long for the man to arrive in front of Eleanore.

"Are you here to sacrifice yourself to me?" the man whispered softly next to Eleanore's ear which of course made the girl's goosebumps.
