Chapter 115
874words
As the sun sets in front of me, i was late to realize that i have been gone for a few hours already. For i've spent hours wrapping my arms around my legs, my head resting on my knees, i felt tired.
The rain heavily poured.
My hair messy from the water, i could barely see what's ahead of me yet I raised my chin. 'how Beautiful' I thought.
The skies emitted a purple-ish orange color, making me smile.
"Just what has gotten into me to even smile at this kind of weather?" i ask myself, Then i tried to stand.
To my dismay, i felt all the strength lost on my knees, resulting in my fall. Laughing bitterly once again, i gripped the soil, trying to contain my emotions.
'Enough Christal, crying won't do anything good for you!' i thought desperately to myself. 'Just how long do you plan on being shameful?'
I've reached this far for him, i don't plan on going back on my word as i did before.
'Christal! stop pushing yourself already, you have a fever!' Gina reaches out to me.
[It's just a fever, what're you shouting for?]
It's cold.
I placed one foot infront of me, as i steadied my balance, i used both of my hands to force myself to stand. I reached a kneeling position and tried to breathe calmly first. When i felt energy back to my lower extremities, i was then able to stand firmly.
'Finally.' I thought. 'Should i just use my powers?'
'Don't use your powers, you're very sensitive right now.' Gina replies to my thought
[Weak? sensitive? Nothing really surprises me anymore] I laughed bitterly.
Damn it, it's raining too heavily.
Why is it so cold?
[Gina, why can't i use my power?]
'My power is already sensitive to mortals since you were born with a stable body to store my power, you have certain defenses in your body that limits my power at some point. If you use my power while you're body's defenses are down, then you might not be able to resist the side effects' She explains.
[Why do i feel so weak for a fever?]
'I told you, you're very sensitive when your immune system is working at the moment' She replies.
I shivered, my eyes starting to close, i tried my best to remain my vision even when the rain clouded my senses. Thinking that i was about to reach my limit, i finally gave up. "I-I can't."
I laid my back on the cold soil.
Looking at the rain, i said "Ah,, this isn't so bad." i closed my eyes, accepting the feeling of wanting to rest.
'Christal! someone's here!' Gina warns me.
[They're probably just passing by]
i almost believed what i thought until i felt my right arm being yanked up. I forced my eyes to open and saw Charles's face, gripping my body within his embrace, he places a mouthful of kisses around my neck. At that moment, i was too weak to even push him.
But what surprised me is the sudden surge of energy i felt towards the places he kissed.
"C-Charles.. stop.." I pleaded, feeling sensitive.
Did he just transfer some energy to me?
I couldn't believe what i was seeing. Charles was in front of me while the rain still heavily poured around us. My vision wasn't as clear as a sky, but i definitely could tell what face he was making.
He pulls away from his kisses, looking at me with eyes full of love, i almost flinched at the sight. He reaches my hand and kissed the top of it. "I couldn't help but taste the delicious meal in front of me." his eyes, burned red.
I felt his fangs graze the top layer of my skin.
I immediately yanked my hand away from him. "What are you doing here?" i glared at him.
"How about you? i didn't know you like rainy days so much, you even want to sleep here. Looks like i don't know everything about you yet." He said, not minding my attitude towards him.
Tsk, so he won't tell me.
"that's right i love rainy days." I tried to get up, pushing him away. "But i like to enjoy it alone."
I almost fell once again, luckily Charles offered his arm in time.
I looked at him suspiciously. "Mind giving me energy for my legs?" i asked, irked.
"You can just ask me to carry you, princess?" He smiles. "I don't know why you're suddenly all weak right now, but it doesn't look so harmful to you."
He didn't hesitate and carried me, bridal style.
"Put me down!" I said, trying to smack his head.
Unfortunately, he just took that as an invitation for him to suddenly lick my ears, my face immediately flushed red from his actions. I was so sensitive right now, i couldn't even tell if i was embarrassed or angry.
"..!"
i could feel Gina rampaging with anger within my mind.
"smack me one more time, then you'll know where i plan to lick you next." His eyes burned crimson red.
Just what the hell happened to Charles?! why is he so proactive now!?
