My Husband Is A Vampire
24 A Choice

Edward's face was blank as his silver eyes stared at the garden before him blankly.

Sitting alone in the quiet park after James' departure at his request.

Edward just sat there as if his whole life was empty. He doesn't know what to do or what to decide.

James' voice kept ringing in his ears to make a choice.

But the problem is that Edward can't choose!

Edward loves Candy and will never be able to and does not want to sacrifice the girl no matter what happens.

On the other hand he also could not give up on becoming a Human!

If Edward said that he wanted to find another way, he could wait to get another way if it was first. But now he can't wait!

Edward wants to be human now so he can live with Candy. He wants to die with Candy and live a life of old with her.

Of course Edward could take a little sample of Candy's blood and make that serum. The problem is what happens after.

If Edward returns to being Human, he can live in peace with Candy until he ages. Of course it was a beautiful dream. It was just that the Tigers who were in the shadows would not remain silent.

They will definitely move to kidnap Candy and squeeze all the drops of blood from her body to make a Serum for her sake. While Edward who has become a Man will not be able to fight and protect Candy!

If he chooses to remain a Vampire, Edward will be able to protect Candy. But he would lose the girl as time passed.

Isn't this too ironic?

Why is his fate so pitiful?

A long sigh rang out from Edward's lips, he leaned against the dirty park bench and stared at the sky covered in gray clouds.

His silver-colored eyes looked tired and dim. He was too tired of his long life, and now he was too tired of his endless long troubles.

****

Darkness covers as far as the eye can see, if the darkness of the night is illuminated by lights, the moon and shining stars. So the darkness in the vision seen now is total darkness without illumination.

"Edward?" A sweet voice echoed within that gripping darkness.

Amber-colored eyes flickered lightly with a passing fear. The figure of the owner of those beautiful eyes was none other than Candy. He hugged his knees tightly as feelings of loneliness flooded in.

Candy crying sobbing. Ever since he opened his eyes, there had only been a stretched darkness in sight. It's been a long time and the darkness that remains never disappears.

"Candy..."

"..." Candy's face lifted as she listened to her mother's voice that was impossible to hear. Dazedly his eyes wandered only to find a gripping darkness.

"Candy..."

"Mother?" In the end Candy made a voice uncertainly.

No answer was heard and there was only silence.

The silence is long enough for Candy to start thinking that she is hallucinating.

Until when...

A small light flickered, the closer it was to Candy's seated figure the more clearly her figure was caught by Amber Candy's coloured eyes.

"Mother.." Candy's voice shrieked as she began to stand up and run towards the light. She hugs the body of her long-gone mother, Candy sobs and cries terribly in the warm embrace she longs for.

"Is Candy okay?" Seeing Candy's small nod in response, Stella smiled gently and rubbed her daughter's head "Sorry that mom left you!"

Candy shook her head slowly and raised her face to look at the mother "No, I'm fine. Don't apologize!"

"Mother did you come to pick me up?" Candy asked softly with an uncomfortable feeling in her heart.

She did miss her mother, but somehow she still didn't want to go with her.

Stella gave a small laugh and replied softly "If mom says, mom comes to pick you up! Are you going with me?"

Seeing Candy's silence and her complex-looking countenance, Stella sighed softly and said, "Mom didn't come to pick you up, I just visited! There's someone waiting for you, so you still can't leave!"

"Mom, i..."

"Candy, listen!" Stella's face looked resolute and serious "Mother always said to stay away from Vampires because they were Evil. But, there's one Vampire that I want Candy to keep. He is the loneliest and saddest vampire I have ever met. I hope Candy can save him from his loneliness and suffering..."

"Who's the Vampire?"

"You already know the answer!" Stella smiled gently before her figure began to fade "Mom wishes Candy would live a happy life regardless of whatever decision you make! Live happily and not tied to the past or Mom and Dad..."

"Mother..." Candy cried out miserably as she looked at the figure of her mother who slowly disappeared into dust flakes.

Candy's dark vision slowly faded and replaced the dazzling light in her eyes. He blinked lightly as his eyelashes trembled and began to open.

The white expanse of the roof of the house stretches as far as Candy can see. The girl breathed softly as she tried to move her body, but there was only a piercing pain and made her fall back into silence.

Confused and questioning, Candy begins racking her brain to remember the last thing she remembers.

That'sthat's true! He was injured and was on his way to the hospital with Edward. Seeing that he was lying down, he must have been in the hospital.

As Candy begins to remember all of those things, she begins to move her beautiful eyes to explore looking for the figure she wants to see.

"A-pa, you awake? Whoa... I'll call the Doctor!" It was only the figure of the woman in nurse clothes that Candy caught by her two eyes.

The nurse rushed away when she finished saying the sentence in surprise.

Once again, only the silence and the white-colored expanse of the roof sky accompanied Candy in silence.

The girl sighed heavily with the breathing apparatus covering her nose. There was only 1 thought in his mind at the moment.

He wants to see Edward!

As if his thoughts were answered, a figure he wanted to see so badly appeared in his Vision.

A handsome face with both silver-colored eyes was staring at Candy, it looked so soft with both eyes looking exhausted.

Candy's smile is formed when a drop of tear falls from her eyelids. He could see from the tired look on Edward's face, the man must have gone through a lot as long as he was unconscious.

[I'm fine!] Candy said softly in her mind, she looked at Edward who was smiling and nodded slowly in response.

"Please wait outside! We'll check his condition!" A male Doctor came with several female nurses behind him. He encourages Edward to return out of the room Candy was treated.

Edward was silent at the door of Candy's treatment room. He was silent like a statue and did nothing.

Her silver-colored eyes stared into the room where Candy was lying with the Doctor who examined her. Breathing out of his lips.

As he is swept away in his mind in the garden, Edward's vision of everything finds Candy awakened. He got up from his place and moved towards Candy as quickly as possible.

After looking at the girl and even listening to the thoughts she said, that 'She is fine!' Edward's heart felt smashed by a hammer of reality truth.

The girl, by just looking at him and listening to his voice. Edward knew in the end what he had to choose.

A choice that would make Edward hurt!

That was the only answer Edward could give.

Edward squeezed his tightly clenched hands together before taking a deep breath. He has decided so there is no going back. Whatever happens he has to endure to the end, an ending he may never want to see.
