Eliza, where have you been? I've been looking for you ever since the bell rang!"
Efferet shouted right across the hall.
My limbs started to move, so fast that I realised I was speeding when the rain came
falling hard on my face. I could not differentiate if those were my tears or the droplets from
the sky. I ran, as fast as I could to avoid him, anything and anywhere to hide myself
from him. I couldn't face him, especially right now, when I'd almost attacked him last
May.
"Stop where you are! Don't you dare run away from me anymore! I don't care who
you are, what you've become, you'll still be my one and only love!" He screamed so
loud that his voice was echoed in the lost forest.
I stopped my feet, just hiding behind a trunk as if he couldn't see me.
"Please, stop doing this to me. I'm so lost without you right now. I've lost all my focus
because of you. I really don't bother about the incident last May, it's okay baby. But
please, don't leave me alone. I just want you, right now and forever!" He pleaded.
I was stunned, I couldn't move at all. I was mouthing the words, no voice came out from
me.He wanted me? I've almost turned him into a vampire just weeks ago, he'd
forgotten about that? And he doesn't mind?!I don't know if I can control myself again,
being near him, of his sweet scent.
"Pl..e.a..se! Go..Away!" I was trying so hard just to speak, as I was controlling my
emotions. I didn't want it to take over me, especially to prevent myself from being soft-
hearted.
He didn't notice my tears, as he wiped them away, thinking that it was the rain.
"I'm not going anywhere, not without you. Even if everything in the world goes wrong,
I'll be stuck with you." He confessed.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here. We'll solve this together, alright?" He held my face up
with both hands.His hands were warm, under my cold and freezing skin.
I could feel that.His blood smelt so mouth-watering, I couldn't control myself for long. I was
starving, I've not been hunting ever since the incident.
"Efferet! Please, I'm begging you! I can't do this! I can't control myself, not anymore!" I
started pacing backwards.
Moving faster and faster. He followed me. And I growled. I couldn't endure this any
longer. My newly formed fangs brushed its way through.I dashed through the forest,
and finally, I'd lost him.
I was attracted to this sweet-smelling scent and I followed the trail to where they were
heading. I was hungered for blood, more and more!
Right at the bottom corner of a mountain, came a group of cattles. I was careful and
landed silently on my feet behind one of them. I pounced on it right before it could
start struggling to get away from my attack.
After seconds, it was lying flat on the ground.
I satisfied my appetite. That was when the scenes started to flash across my head.
Efferet was pleading me, and I didn't know how important I was to him until he'd said it
just half an hour ago? Was I what he wanted? Why? Everything looked so confusing
to me. He didn't appreciate what I've done for him previously, but why now? Until I've
almost attacked him?
Bits and pieces everywhere, I couldn't seem to put them into a picture. So many
questions, and I couldn't understand why. I couldn't look for him anymore. Even though
I've been bugging him before I was transformed into a vamp, I couldn't anymore!
My head hurts! Why is this so? Especially when I'm thinking of him. Every moment,
every memory of ours, seems to be wanting to get out of the brain but I'm forcing it so
much to stay!
"ARGGHHHH, EFFERET!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, with tears oozing out
at the corners of my eyes.
After a while, the rain finally came to a stop.
