I WAS SURPRISED when I came out of the room and saw Colby there, he was sitting on the sofa while he seemed to be waiting for me. Vernon just left while Trina was just sitting across from Colby and they were both silents.
"Oh, she's already here," Trina exclaimed as soon as she saw me leave my room. I don't know why but there seems to be something strange about Trina. Does he seem tense and why?
Colby turned to me. He smiled at me and then got up from his seat. "Good day, Syrie," he greeted me warmly.
I averted my eyes from him. I’m afraid to talk to Colby because I feel like everything he says hits me. It’s like how much he knows about me as I force you to disbelieve. "Why are you here?" I asked him coldly.
UNTIL now I still cannot believe that I am in the village of the wolves that I consider my enemies. I also can’t believe that I’m coming to this point where I can feel this feeling as if someone has accepted me fully, without a doubt.I’m still lying in bed because until now I still can’t move my legs because it hurts like hell. I also couldn’t stand up because of the soldering I was feeling. I didn't know there was such a thing as a poison that could be used on wolves like me. How do those vampires seem to be getting more aggressive? They were ready to kill me. Who are they? If those vampires were in the Mansion, who was the one behind this, who were they? Did Volter know what his disciples were doing? Lots of questions in my mind because of what happened to me."Sister, Syrie."I shrugged, then quickly looked up at the girl who called my name. My face lit up when I saw Yena smiling, she wa
I SLOWLY moved my legs, I still felt a little pain but not that much. I also feel like my strength is returning. How many days have I just been lying here? I have been here in the village for four days. I’m sure Trina and Vernon are worried about me because of my sudden disappearance. Volter probably already knew this.When I set my feet on the bamboo floor, I felt the cold of it crawl all over my body. I tried to force my leg to build it up. I held onto the side of the wall first and then tried to stand up. I smiled as I finally felt enough strength for me to stand up.I tried to release the grip. There was happiness and hope in me because I felt like my strength was returning. I took a step. I winced because I still had pain in my leg.
UNTIL NOW I still remember everything Marcus told me on the last day. Because of what he said, I was confused. I thought and asked all I had heard that I didn’t know what the right answer was. Even if I insist that maybe Marcus just said that to deceive me, there's a part of my mind that doesn't accept that. There’s still the confusion that I can’t get rid of. It’s like how much I still don’t know that I need to know about vampires, even the wolves.I sighed and then closed my eyes. I don’t know what I should think. I was afraid that my heart might soften completely with the wolves. As I take in this village, I feel sympathy for them. I can see the pleasure everyone feels that I also want to feel."Hello, Sister Syrie."My eyes opened quic
I SLOWLY got up from my seat on the bed and I felt well because I no longer felt severe pain, it was just barely. I smiled because I knew that tomorrow my strength might return to normal."How are you feeling, Syrie?"I looked up and saw Marcus at the door looking at me. He stepped closer. He looked at my feet.“I feel like my strength is returning,” I happily confess.He looked up at me, from my foot up to the clothes that I was wearing that Rossa had just lent me. It fits me well, maybe because we're about the same size."It's good then, Syrie it just means that the poison is gone from your body," he explained. I don't know but I felt so
I STILL DON’T know what I should think of the things I heard from Marcus and that man named Trigo. Should I believe them in everything they say about the vampire I consider my parents and what they say about them? The difficulty of that is because there is a part of my mind that says I should listen to Marcus and believe him. I sighed. I quietly turned in front of the window as I sat on that bed. I feel fine. Actually, I can go back home but something is holding me back and tells me to stay in this village. I feel sad at the thought of leaving the place where I saw real happiness and the reception of wolves. "How are you, Syrie?" I turned to the man who spoke and was so shocked to see Colby there. I was surprised to see him there. "Colby!" I was shocked when I mentioned his name. I didn’t expect to see him in this place because he disappeared from my mind. I forgot he was able to enter this p
I DIDN'T even wait for Yena to wake up. She was next to me last night and even the other wolves before I left. I feel fine now and my strength is back to normal.The surroundings are starting to light up but everyone in the village is still quiet.I turned again to Yena who was still sound asleep. I approached her again and gently stroked her hair. I knew I was longing for this child and this place that made me feel accepted that I've never felt in the place where I grew up. Marcus suddenly entered my mind. I shook my head to get rid of him and thought that I would miss him too.I got up and walked away from the bed. I looked at Yena for the last time before I finally left the room. I felt something heavy as I stepped my feet away from that village. In more than a week I have been there, I have come closer to a place that has made me feel truly welcome. I felt in this village that I belonged here."Are you j
AS I expected, I was bombarded with questions from Vernon and Persuz when they returned home the same day I returned. Just like what I answered to Trina, that’s also what I told them. Vernon's face also shows concern for me while I can't read the emotion on Persuz's face. Persuz just looked at me seriously as if he's reading my mind. "If you say that person picked you up from the forest why don't you come back right away or make a way to let us know what happened to you?" Persuz continued to question me who was obviously not convinced by what I had said. My eyes narrowed as I turned to Persuz. "Are you doubting me, Persuz? Whether I want to go back immediately or let you know what happened, I can't do that because I don't have the strength due to the poison in my body because of that arrow that hit me," I answered annoyed. "Who was that man who helped you in the forest, Syrie?" Vernon asked. "He didn't let me know his name," I safely replied. "The impor
I SILENTLY watched the noisy stream of water flowing down to where it was headed. I remembered what Volter had told me. He was right, I had forgotten what my true intentions were. The revenge. I lost my focus just because of the strange feeling that wolves gave me and I forgot what's really my intention.I sigh. I got up from sitting on a large chunk of rock. The strong wind blew, I closed my eyes and savored that fresh air that embraced me bringing a slight comfort.I opened my eyes when I felt that someone else was there. I was shocked and could hardly move when Marcus appeared, his face was almost inches away from me. It was as if the surroundings had stopped. I could hear my heart pounding because his face was so close to mine. I could already smell his fragrant breath and the warm air coming out of his mouth.I was swallowed up in succession. It was that feeling again. I couldn’t understand why I felt weak every time he was close to me with the rapid throbbing of my chest. There’
