Chapter 24
—–
I still hope that if I dream this time, I, who is currently being carried on David’s back, will run fast through the forest.
I don’t know where David will take me to go, but I know now that he promises my life to survive the pursuit of supernatural beings who are currently approaching us both.
I widened my eyes when I just remembered that Robert was at home alone; how was he now?
Is he still okay?
I swear I just remembered that in the basement of Robert’s house, there was a Vampire who almost killed me.
“David, What about Robert?” I asked, suddenly worried about his condition.
David glanced at me with an annoyed look, “Why are you asking that suddenly?” David asked me back as he continued to run towards a place.
.....
“Because I was worried about Robert, who was at his house. Is he okay? You just killed a vampire in the basement of his house, which was about to kill me!” I said, trying to explain to David.
“Don’t worry about it; I’m sure he’s fine!” David replied in a basic tone; I don’t think he wanted to talk about Robert.
I decided to shut up and not ask him again.
For almost 30 minutes, David ran while carrying me; at this time, we both arrived at an old house in the forest.
“Where are we?” I asked as David lowered me from his arms; I looked around me curiously.
“This is a secret villa built by my father in the forest!” David replied as he walked towards the door of the Villa.
I immediately followed him and walked closer to him. “How could that be?” I asked while looking at the terrace of the Villa, which was so luxurious.
Although this building is luxurious, this Villa in the forest looks dirty because it is not inhabited. I’m sure David and his family haven’t been to this Villa for almost one year.
“You will be safe in this villa because this villa has a protective seal that prevents other supernatural beings from entering this forbidden area.” Said David explained as he invited me in.
David turned on the light, and my eyes widened in amazement when I saw the contents of the Villa.
All the furniture inside the Villa is still so nice and untouched; although the outside looks so shabby, inside, it is a very comfortable place to live.
“Protective seal? Do you mean some witchcraft?” I asked David curiously.
David nodded his head assent to what I asked; then he took my hand closer to the window.
“Watch carefully!” David said, asking me to look out the window.
Not long after that, a group of vampires said David arrived in front of the Villa.
The five vampires consist of two girls and three boys.
What surprised me was that the five couldn’t see where the two of us were in the Villa.
“Can’t they see us here?” I asked as I continued to pay attention to the five vampires walking back and forth in front of the Villa.
“To be precise, the five of them couldn’t see the existence of this Villa; the five could feel the scent of your blood dissipating outside the protective seal of this Villa!” David answered, explaining to me.
I nodded my head understanding what he was saying.
The two of us looked at the five vampires in front of the Villa; their faces seemed so angry that they couldn’t find where I was.
After that, the five of them decided to leave the place.
“For now, we have to stay here first; I have to make sure that no supernatural being knows of your Existence!” Said David while looking at me with a severe look.
I just nodded my head, trying to believe what he was saying.
I don’t think this is the time to ask questions that don’t need to be asked because everything has been answered clearly about what is happening to me.
Yes, they are after me. They want me. And that’s reality. Period.
“What should I tell my parents? I’m sure they’ll both be really worried about me right now! I have to-”
“Frankly, my father has arranged everything! My father has taken care of your parents’ business, so you calm down and think about your safety!” Said David, cutting off What I was about to say.
I don’t think I need to ask that question because the answer must be that David and his family want to protect me. I hope what I feel is true. That David and his family wanted to protect me.
“Will you marry me?”
My eyes bulged back like they were about to pop out of my face when suddenly David asked me that question again.
“Are you crazy? Please don’t bring that up again for now!” I said, annoyed, and left David, who was in the living room.
I know I don’t know the contents of this Villa, but because I was annoyed, so I decided to explore this Villa alone.
I went into the kitchen, opened the fridge, and hoped there was food.
And my eyes widened as if they wanted to pop out of my face when I saw so much food in the fridge to eat.
“Wow! Is this-”
“Yes, all you can eat!” said David from the living room.
The expression on my face immediately turned ugly when I realized that David was watching me from a distance.
Deliberately I didn’t reply to what he just said; I took the ready-to-eat canned food from the refrigerator.
The two cans of Candied mixed fruit I’m carrying are heading to the terrace.
I passed the living room without looking at David. In the slightest, I focused on opening the lid of the candied fruit.
On the terrace, this Villa has chairs that are so comfortable to sit on, but because the conditions outside the Villa are so shabby, the chairs are not well maintained.
I cleaned the dust on the chair and sat down slowly.
Open the lid of the candied fruit and eat it.
The view in front of me is now so quiet, and only dense trees are unattractive.
Why did I get here Today? It feels like Today is such a cursed day for me.
I can’t feel my normal life anymore, but I don’t want to live a normal life as usual.
Maybe the prayers I unconsciously say every time I want to sleep have come true.
And this is the abnormal life I want. Inadvertently. Fuck!
