"Take this collar off me Herus." I hissed at him.
We were on my room, while i was tied to the bed surprisingly after waking up. A very nostalgic feeling that i remembered when i woke up- i remembered that Charles carried me to this place while i fell soundly asleep in his arms. The feeling of .. guilt was swallowing me whole. I don't know how and why he's alive, but the reason for i am here must be connected.
"But the collar suits you the best." He smirks.
"Shut up you damned hybrid dog."
He chuckles. "Rather than insulting me like you always do.. mind telling me where did that came from?" His face turned opposite at the site where he was pointing.
I looked down and flushed red when i saw the crime that that idiot charles did to my skin near my collarbone. I placed my hand to hide it in embarrassment. "Your fucking twin molested me while i slept!"
He looked at me with a angry expression, i was a bit taken back that's why i toned my voice down, his face was pissed and he glared at me. He took my hand and pinned me to the bed, his body towering above me, i fought to struggle but was no use. "What the fuck are you doing again!!"
"You surely enjoyed it didn't you?"
My eyes widened, no i didn't.
"Why are you silent? Did you enjoy it that much?" He suddenly buries his face beside my own and i laid there frozen, hoping he doesn't do anything since i couldn't really move from his weight and strength. "Get off me." I murmured to him.
"You." He lifted his face up suddenly making me jolt in surprise, his face was so close that i closed my eyes. "Sure is a cruel woman." He whispered to my ear.
I pushed him away from me. "Am i? You're the one who keeps bullying me."
He was silent for a minute, he stared at me like he knew that his next words was gonna come out unexpected. "Tell me what do you think about Charles?"
I turned away. "Do i really have to answer that question?"
"You do."
"Why? It doesn't concern you."
"It does." He chuckled bitterly, his eyes showed a hint of resentment towards me. "Because he is my brother."
"He's not human anymore-"
"IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU!"
He slapped me, i was shocked at the moment that i was unable to speak, my mouth unable to exchange anger from that sudden blow that he did. I placed my palm on my sore cheek. I confirmed the guilt that was swallowing me recently, it was because i knew that i can be the possible reason why he became a vampire.
A pureBlood.
I'm not mistaken, when he showed up earlier in that garden where Dandelions where at full bloom, i already have sensed he was one of the darkness, the creatures of the night. But he was human- the question has always been how? How can he live after dying in my arms all these years that has passed.
"You dragged him into hell." He said pissed. "The guts you have to point fingers at Charles woman."
"How can he be alive?" I said in grief. "He died in my arms that day."
"You don't need to know anything. Even if i'm angry at what you've done to him- i don't blame you. And i fucking hate myself for being like this." He gritted his teeth, he grabs my face and forces me to face him. "Get away from the flowers"
My eyes widened when i suddenly felt a killing intent towards Herus, i glanced behind him and saw Charles standing behind him, he places his hand on Herus' shoulder. "Maybe i let you play too much?" He said a bit pissed.
He's fast.
"Brother." Herus smirks. "Have you been here the whole time?"
I glanced over charles and saw how pissed he looked, i gulped. Herus was asking for death is he? But why am i thinking like this? Charles never got angry like this.
"Don't push it." He glared at Herus, slowly placing his hand on Herus and leaning in, his eyes staring into Herus. it lasted about a few seconds before Herus suddenly screamed and fell on his knees, he gags up something that i could not see.
I was horrified- what the hell happened?
"Fuck!" Herus curses. "I told you not to do that again!"
"Do what?" Charles feigns innocence.
"Seriously, stop fighting in my room. Do it in your own rooms." I said interrupting their feud, even though i was tied up and could not do anything but be a bitch.
"She's right, you should leave Herus." Charles calmly says. My eyes still on him, i noticed how much he had grown, he has muscles now and even have a handsome facial hair- he's a hunk. A sick boy who died in my arms.. how could he survive that? I kept asking those questions to myself.
There was no doubt, he died that day. There was no pulse or beat from his heart. His eyes was dead, as his skin were cold as ice. Anyone could notice that he died that day. But why .. why is he alive?
Herus leaves pissed, but not before glaring at me and Charles. The room was filled with silence when he left, Charles sitting on the bed and unchaining me. He smiled towards me. "How are you? I'm sorry if my brother tied you into this bed."
I knew it, that jerk.
"It's fine. I'm used to his antics" i said, grabbing my sore wrists.
"Give me your hand." He said, and i did. When he held my wrist i felt a sudden energy and when i looked to my wrists, the soreness was already gone.
"Thank you." I said "if you could, can you take this collar off me?"
He frowns. "I can't, Herus will get mad at me."
"Like hell he would, you've changed Charles, i noticed it by first glance." I said in disbelief, and avoiding eye contact. "What's your motive by bringing me here?"
"This is your home Christal, you knew it for yourself that you didn't belong there."
Where exactly is he talking about?
"Stop it. Who are you to decide that i belong here?" I stood up and turned away from him.
"Look at me." He suddenly grips my shoulder, forcing me to face him. "Look at my eyes."
"You're no human Charles, not anymore. And you're not that child i loved before." I said in grief, i don't know why i was saying things like this. But seeing him turn into something else...
Was something i couldn't take, my conscience was swallowing me whole- as if his eyes was telling me that i was the sole reason he turned into a vampire.
"I.. did this just to see you." He said in sad voice. "I needed to survive to see you."
I gulped.
As i momentarily closed my eyes, i was shocked to see the room to be filled with flowers- dandelions. My body shook in fear when i looked towards Charles' eyes, it was the color of blood, dark blood. Everything was going in circles- my vision was starting to get blur from the sudden mists around me- but is there? How could it be? We're inside a room-
No. We're in the garden.
H-How?
I blinked a few times.
'Get away from the flowers' Herus voice rings into my ears.
"What?"
'Get away from the flowers'
Everything was starting to feel numb, i couldn't think of anything- nor feel anything. My head was blank, making me unable to perceive anything around me. I felt as if i was a lifeless puppet, i couldn't react but could only watch in horror. As minutes went by, i felt it getting worse.
What.. what is happening?
"Will you Marry me?" Charles smirks, as he held one flower from his hand, he kisses my forehead gently.
What did he say? What? W-What?
I had no idea but to my horror, i said yes.
