SCARLETT (Kiss From The Darkness)
Chapter 11
I carried Roland and carried him flying towards my house. I left Leda, Erick and Damon. The most important thing on my mind right now is that I need to get home immediately to save Roland.
That night the moon was shining so brightly. I crossed the moonlight while holding Roland in my arms. I'd rather fly tonight. To me flying is much more efficient and faster than driving a car in an urgent moment like this.
Every now and then I stare at Roland's face under the moonlight. Maybe if my heart could beat, this time it'd be faster. Even though my heart wasn't beating, I felt a deep tremor in my heart as I stared at Roland's face. Why am I like this? Have I gone crazy?
I've never liked humans too much before. Although I did not kill humans because to me their souls were precious, but I never felt the feeling I now felt when I hugged Roland. I can't fall in love with a human! I remind myself. We come from a different world. Our destiny is different. It would be too dangerous for Roland if he continued to be in my world.
I landed on the balcony in front of my room on the second floor. My bedroom door was never locked because my house was surrounded by a high-security fence. I opened the door and went into the room. I put Roland on my bed so carefully as if he was so precious to me. Yes, he is valuable.
I took a clean cloth and warm water to clean the wound. I wiped the wound very carefully. Blood from his neck dripped down to his chest. I unbuttoned Roland's shirt to clean his chest blood. His chest was so field and muscular. His chest rose and fell as he breathed. I wiped his chest. My hands felt trembling when I touched the muscles in his chest that were plane. I move my fingers through his chest. I stopped right where his heart was. I put my palm there. I listened to his slow heartbeat. I swallowed spit. My gaze turned back on his face. He was so handsome and perfect as a Greek god. I saw another part of Roland's body. His arms look strong. His stomach was flat and loamy. My hands slowly descended towards his stomach. I stopped right above his pants. I felt my breath hunt. What's wrong with me? Why am I who had never been in love, now even entangled in love with a human being? Is fate deliberately playing me? I kissed Roland's lips. She's so sweet. I felt Roland's heartbeat quicken as I kissed him. I let go of my kiss and looked at her. Did he realize it? What if he doesn't like me? Ah, nevermind. I kissed her back. This time I actually heard the pounding of his fast-paced heart. I stopped my kiss again. Then suddenly I felt Roland's hand grab onto the back of my neck to hold me back. This time he kissed my lips. I closed my eyes enjoying my feeling that seemed to drift as Roland's lips kissed mine. Perhaps if my heart could beat, it would surely be able to rival Roland's current heartbeat speed. We kissed for so long that I was startled by the sound of my open door.
"Ah, it seems that the human is conscious." Damon walks into the room, followed by Leda and Erick.
I must have been so drunk with Roland's kiss that I didn't hear the sound of their arrival. I got up and stood by the bed. Maybe I look clumsy right now. I looked towards the three of them.
"You've come" I said nervously.
"Well, you were so cool kissing the human that you left the three of us." Damon said in a jealous tone that was not hidden.
"Bring her some medicine" I told her.
Leda complied with my request and immediately left the room. I felt Damon's sharp gaze being directed at me.
It wasn't until five minutes that Leda had returned to the room with two aspirin, a glass of water and ointment and a bandage she had placed on the tray. He told Roland to take the medicine. Afterwards he applied antibiotic ointment to the wound on Roland's neck to avoid infection and bandaged the wound. Fortunately Leda always provides medicines at home.
Although I am a vampire, I sometimes get minor injuries due to my carelessness. All this time Leda took care of me was like taking care of a human baby. I used to laugh at her when she kept the drugs in the kitchen cupboard. But this time I am thankful that I have it.
Roland tried to get up but I held him back. I sat next to him to take care of him. I saw Erick and Damon's gaze directed at us. No one can hurt Roland. I promise in my heart.
"What about the other victims?" I asked Damon and Erick who both looked glum.
"There's some people who were deliberately turned into vampires by assholes we don't know who did it." Damon said with his eyebrows clutched. "It's as if someone's forming an army."
"Army?" I whispered that word.
Why would a vampire form an army? Or is this a signal of war for the God of Eternity? Then why did the vampire attack Roland? I need to find the mastermind behind this mess!
