Chereads / ONE NIGHT BENEATH THE CRESCENT MOON / Chapter 4 - Chapter 004

Chapter 4 - Chapter 004

"Oh yeah, that reminds me...What are you doing here? " Vincent asks her and notices a book on the desk. He shifts closer to the desk and takes a look at it.

"Hmm? The Study Of Vampire? " Vincent read out loud the book's cover. He turns his head to look at Renee.

"Renee...Do you know that you can ask me anything about Vampire? That is my speciality... " Vincent gets closer to Renee and slaps the wall. Trapping her in between the wall and him. Which earns a deathly aura that surrounds her.

Vincent then smells something alluring coming from Renee. He searches for the source of the smell. When he found the cause of it, he confronts it.

"Renee, why is your index finger bleeding? " Vincent points at her index finger.

She look at her index finger and notice that it was bleeding. She didn't notice it before. Maybe it happens during her walk in the garden. Vincent brings her finger closer to his mouth and licks her index finger.

She was taken aback by the sudden action and looked mad. She forcefully pulls her hand back and looks at her finger once again. The bleeding stopped, not only that. The wound also close. What in the world is happening?

"That is one of Vampire's abilities, I can heal wounds! " Vincent tells her happily, hoping for her to praise him for his skill.

Before she can talk, she saw a red string from her pinky finger that connect to Vincent's pinky finger. She tries to touch it, she can feel the touch of the string. It's not a trick from her mind. She looks at Vincent when he grabs hold of both of her hands.

"Now that, we have made a Master-Servant contract, you are my Master and I'm your Servant. Our souls will be bound to each other through all life " he smiles at her which makes her mad. But, he didn't care, as long as he get to spend time with her, it was more than enough.

"That's mean, you can't leave this mansion. This is your home from now on! " Vincent intertwined his fingers with her, locking it very tight. Even though Renee was supposed to be mad about the contract being made without her knowing, she feel something familiar from Vincent.

"Hmm? You didn't resist me. Does it mean-..." before he can finish his sentence, Renee punches him and he falls to the floor with his hand on the floor.

Renee takes the book and runs to the door. She opens it and leaves the room. She walks through the hallway and looks at the moon from the window. She trying to recollect her thoughts about what happened.

She look at her hands once again and saw the red strings is still visible to her naked eyes. She will think of a way to break the contract. She doesn't want her soul bound to a Vampire. Speaking of a Vampire, he is calm when he told her that he is a Vampire.

Is he naive? Whatever, she will think about it tomorrow morning. For now, she just wants to rest her mind and plop herself on the comfy bed. She walks to her room without looking back.

"Something's wrong, young master? " Isaac enter the Observatory Room to claim Vincent after he didn't come to his room for his slumber.

"Renee...punch me... " Vincent sobbed and curled up into a ball.

"What did you do to her? Yesterday, you told her that you're a Vampire. Now, don't tell me that you do something foolish to her " Isaac asks him and walks towards him.

"I...made a contract with her... "

Isaac just sigh and look at Vincent once again. "You do things to rush. So, did you bite her? "

"No, I just lick the wound on her index finger "

"Well, at least you still control yourself. Now, come on...Let's get you to bed " Isaac picks up Vincent and walks out of the Observatory Room.

"Mind reminding me how old are you supposed to be " Isaac sighed and walked to Vincent's room.

Morning arrives and Renee is wide awake. She stretches her arm and looks at her hand once again. Yup, the string is still visible. So, that means that what happened last night wasn't a dream.

"Pardon my intrusion, my lady... " Isaac's voice can be heard from outside the door. She ring the bell that had been placed at the desk beside the bed to signal him to enter. They prepare the bell for her so that they know if she needs any help or her permission to enter the room.

Renee lit up when she saw Isaac. Does he know that Vincent is a real Vampire? Wait, is he also a Vampire?

"Are you a Vampire too? " Renee writes in the book and shows it to him.

"Well, yes of course...But rest assured, all the residents here won't hurt you... " Isaac reassured Renee as they are practically harmless and it's taboo to lay a hand on her. But, even if it is taboo...She still needs to keep her guard up.

"So, you truly believe that young master is a Vampire? " Isaac looks at her and he answers it by writing quickly on the book.

"I don't know, this proceeds to quick. My brain can't even keep this up. This string also is attached to me, it doesn't disappear at all " Renee write it and flipped page by page to communicate with Isaac.

"I know this is a lot to take. Your string won't be visible to others, even myself...a Vampire can't see the string. The only ones who can see it, just you and the young master " Isaac explained to her.

"Is there a way to break this contract? " Renee asks him which earns a nod.

"There is a way...If you wish to break the contract, you can't let the young master drink your blood for 3 months " Isaac explains to her.

"Of course, I won't let him drink my blood, who is stupid enough to give it to him? " Reneemad at the thought of thinking to give her blood to Vincent. How could she do that? He forces her!

"Well, you will if you fall deep into this magic... " Isaac says as he closes his eyes.

"What kind of magic is it? " Renee shifted in closer to hear Isaac's words.

"The magic of love... " Isaac put his index finger close to his lip Renee replied with an annoyed face.
