"Nothing. Just missed you that's all."
"Are you crazy?! Get out!" I was about to raised my hand to blast him away if he didn't suddenly stops me from doing so. Holding my wrist and pushing me down the bed.
I squirmed a bit when he got a hold both my arms. "What the hell are you doing?!"
"Punishing you." He smirks.
I stopped wriggling away and stared back at him, showing him that i was not a bit intimidated by anything.
"This expression.. really just like the old times." He said, letting go of me and stepping away.
I sat up. "Have you finished playing? GET OUT!" I took my blanket and covered myself.
Everything was literally going crazy, i never thought that my past would be haunting me and not the other way around. Even though i've always suspected i was someone i was not, i didn't mind since i got really attached to my family now. It's not like i don't want to know who i was- but i just keep getting this unsettling feeling that i shouldn't.
I felt him sat on my bed.
"You know i'm really relieved you were alive. Everyone thought you were dead, you even fooled oracles and witches."
Dead?
"Seriously you got me scared there." He sighs, suddenly patting my head, A sudden warm feeling he was giving me.
I took my head out of the cover. "What's wrong with you?"
His face flushed red. "Nothing! Just sleep you stupid woman."
I glared at him. "Geez doing something kind then cursing at me?! Are you bipolar!"
"You want me to sleep with you? I don't mind." He smirks.
"W-What?! I never said something like that!"
He laughs, making me make a disgusted face at him. He was seriously shaking me up with his sudden familiarity towards me. It was so uncomfortable that i just couldn't help but push him away when he flirts with me. In short, He really knows how to irritate me!
"Sleep already."
"How am i gonna sleep if you're here?!"
"I'm just protecting you." He winks at me.
"Protect me? I'm not so sure about that you molester."
"I will protect you like this."
He suddenly gets in my blanket, laying comfortably as if i didn't warned him not to do so. My mood was seriously really bad that quickly grabbed him by his neck and glared at him with all my strength. "GET OUT!"
He even had the nerve to laugh. "Just kidding! I will get out!"
I let go of him, he coughs a bit before getting out of my bed. "Man, that attitude hasn't gone down a bit huh." He says disappointed. "But i can't let you out my sight again."
I glanced at him, something was bugging me this whole time. He was acting like we were really close? Were we close in the past? I wanted answers that's why i built up Courage to ask him. "Can you tell me all about the past?"
He looked at me surprised, but quickly changes his expression.
"No." He smiles.
WHAT?!
"THEN GET OUT!!!!"
Another day went by after kicking that guy out of my house, thankfully i had a good night's sleep and woke up feeling refreshed without experiencing any nightmares. I stretched my arms out and headed down the bathroom to wash my face, brushing my teeth also. My morning routine finished, i went down for breakfast.
I quickly see my brothers and Dad munching down their food.
"Who cooked? Why is there food already?" I asked them. Since i was always the one cooking food.
"No this is just a delivery." Mark says.
"This early? Why didn't you just wake me up?"
"Why wake you up? This food is more delicious than your cooking." Luke laughs, i quickly smacked him at the back of his head. Looking at them, it looks like they didn't know taht they were drugged last night. I sat down with them and started eating breakfast.
"We're going hunting tonight." Dad says.
"Hunting? But i have a date with my girlfriend!" Luke pouts at Dad, using his eyes to beg him not to go.
Dad ignores him and continued speaking. "Recently there was sightings of vampires at the east west of the town, rumors has been circulating that there were killers bringing their victims at that old building. Probably there's gonna be a lot of them. Suit up and pack." He finishes then heads upstairs.
"Did you hear that you two idiots?" I said at them. "We're going H-U-N-T-I-N-G."
"Why are you always so excited." My big Brother chuckles at me. "Luke isn't even a bit happy."
Luke pouts.
"When was he even happy about hunting? He's not even useful in hunting." I rolled my eyes.
"Hey! I can hear you know." Luke said.
"What? What are you gonna do about it."
"Nothing.." Luke pouts more making me and Mark laugh at him.
The day went by as the night approaches. The bright sky that was covered in clouds moments ago started to darken after the sun sets down to welcome the darkness that was covering the whole place, as if it was cueing us that it was a perfect time to hunt vampires.
The creatures of the night.
Opening the closet, i took the clothes that i always used for hunting; a black top, shorts, holsters, mask and my black coat. Securing my weapons on my body, i pin up my hair to an high ponytail. I sat down the bed and wore my boots, tucking a small knife to my ankle holster. After preparing everything, i went down to join my family, i was the only one left. We took didn't waste anymore time and headed outside, i hopped into Mark's car while Luke joined Dad.
We drove towards the location, and a suspected. As we were closing in the location, lights were starting to fade out around the area, as if it was a ghost town to start with. I told Mark to slow down since the engine may alert the enemies. We were atleast 3km away from the building when we stopped, getting out and signalling them to follow me.
I quickly grabbed my gun from my waist, pointing it to the person beside me, his speed was so fast that i didn't have time to react to it. I sensed the familiar smell coming from him before i looked at him and almost made my jaw drop.
"Herus! What the hell are you doing here!" I screamed silently.
My brothers and Dad was shocked that i knew the guy, lowering their weapons when i told them to.
"Well i did tell you i was gonna protect you?" He glanced towards my family. "This is so like you."
"Who is he?" My dad glares at him as well as my brothers.
"Me? I'm her boyfriend." He swings his arms around my neck, smiling to them as if we were not just about to attack a building.
"No you're not!" I stepped on his foot, the ground slighty breaking from the impact.
"That hurts." He smiles but a hint of anger showing.
"Good!" I said and told my family to just ignore him.
I didn't have a choice really, he insisted on going with us and i told him that i wouldn't be responsible if anything happens to him- well he looks like he won't even get scratched a little. We proceeded with another idiot under my wing, after discussing our plan earlier, they've gone to their individual tasks while Herus was left to stay with me.
"What the plan?" He asks.
"We got the shittiest role of course," I smirked. "We're the baits."
As we proceeded to the building, my instinct sharpened as i focused on my surroundings, taking every bit of detail carefully and with utmost determination. I inhaled and exhaled, smelling the numerous vampires that already got caught by my sense of smell.
"There's around 8 of them camping out there." Herus calmly says.
How can he sense that? I can't even sense all of them? Well maybe he has a more heightened sense of smell that i do.
"Not scared?"
He laughs. "Whatever you say, hunter."
I rolled my eyes. About Herus he has always been getting my attention whenever he's close to me, his smell triggered my curiosity to why his smell was of a mix of a vampire and a werewolf. I've never encountered any smell like that, except maybe that i already met him in the past.
"Why did you even come?"
He stops, holding my hand for me to halt. "I said i'll protect you.. maybe until HE finds you and beat me up again."
"What are you talking about?" I looked him in the eyes.
"You know.. you're really convincing me now that you really forgot everything." He said a bit disappointed. "But i'm quite relieved that you also do."
