Vampir Amnesia
Chapter. 16
Hearing Hogan's answer, Axell became uncomfortable. Does that mean Hogan saw and heard everything? Or did he only hear his and Bilbina's argument while still in the kitchen? Suddenly Axell felt hectic. Even though Axell was sure, the definition of hectic and hectic was something he couldn't possibly feel again.
Hundreds of years as a vampire, this is the first time Axell felt uncomfortable. During his life and hundreds of years after that, Axell has never had a girlfriend. Now, he feels in love. He was sure of it. The thing is, Bilbina is human.
Could Hogan have known he and Bilbina were close to kissing? Axell tried to look for any sign of anger on Hogan's face. After all, he is a vampire and Bilbina is the granddaughter of the man who has been looking after him. However, he noticed Hogan's face remained straight.
Feeling nervous, Axell immediately took mineral water from the fridge. In one gulp, half of the bottle's contents moved into Axell's stomach.
Hogan, who was putting groceries into the refrigerator, was amazed. He gaped as he stared at his young master without blinking. Axell drink water! Why does Axell look weird? Is there something wrong?
"Young Master, have some mineral water?"
"Eh, sometimes I drink mineral water, really." Bravely the young man finished the rest of the water in the bottle.
Meanwhile, Hogan just shrugged. He also resumed his work. Hogan was sure Axell must be in a lot of thoughts. Then, after finishing cleaning everything up, Hogan rushed up to the second floor to meet Bilbina.
Axell was relieved that Hogan didn't suspect him. After seeing Hogan off, he bolted to Lake Alice. The lake, located at the top of the mountain, is the place he often visits when he wants to be alone. At this time, Axell wanted to think clearly.
The morning sun reflects its light on the surface of the clear lake water. Sulfur deposits lying at the bottom of the lake turn the water green due to the pressure of the cooler water temperature at the bottom of the lake.
Even though Axell had seen this sight for hundreds of years, he never felt bored. Especially when the sun hits the part of the lake that is not protected by trees. The lake water is clear like glass, reflecting the color of the blue sky so that the water in that part looks clear blue.
Meanwhile, in parts of the lake that are rarely touched by the sun, red algae make the water look pink in color. Those colors always amaze Axell. He likes to sit for long in that place.
On a rock that slightly jutted into the surface of the lake, Axell sat pensively. The White Cloud Mountain Range that was usually eye-catching, now only stared at him blankly.
Axell's mind still lingered on the incident a few moments ago. He had never thought that Bilbina's influence would be so great on him. In fact, the thrill of the sensation at the tips of his fingers was still evident. When he accidentally touched the skin of Bilbina's shoulder, for a moment it was as if an electric current was flowing through the surface of his skin.
Obviously it wasn't the desire to taste Bilbina's sweet blood that Axell felt at that time. However, the desire to embrace the girl and make Bilbina his own, was so strong it burned Axell's entire body. If Hogan didn't come then, he didn't know what would.
Now Axell felt so helpless. He almost managed to resist the temptation to taste Bilbina's blood. However, now a stronger desire replaced that desire. He wanted Bilbina to be his.
Axell didn't want to hurt Bilbina. It would be better for him to perish if that was the only option. For a moment, Axell felt as if lightning had struck right at him. He stood transfixed. How could he think that deeply about a girl he just met?
Axel shook his head. He couldn't explain. However, Axell is sure, without Bilbina's knowledge, her life and feelings are now in the girl's hands. From now on, Bilbina is the center of his life.
Staying away from Bilbina is the only option Axell has right now. For the safety of the girlself. He already saw the same desire in Bilbina's eyes. However, he was sure that all of that was just carried away. Human feelings are easily shaken, he knows that. Plus, there were Hogan's feelings he had to consider.
After Axell found out what Felix's goal was to approach Bilbina and was sure that the girl was safe, he had to get away. If necessary, he would return Bilbina and Hogan to their place. After making up his mind, relief flooded Axell's mind. Now he knew what to do.
Feeling calm, Axell also shot back towards the house. He must protect Bilbina from danger, including from himself. However, the girl had made up her mind to leave his home. It is the best decision for everyone.
Axell will let Bilbina go, after he is sure that Felix doesn't intend to harm the girl, of course.
