SCARLETT (Kiss From The Darkness)
Chapter 16

I digested the information Leda just told me. What else is going to happen in this city? Everything feels fucked up. Not only is my heart almost broken, but this city is also on the verge of collapse. I can't stay silent. I need to act immediately. The first thing I have to do is meet Damon in my room.

I left Leda and Erick in the living room. I stepped up the stairs leading to my room. Arriving in my room, I saw Damon standing on the balcony of my room staring up into the sky. He looked up when he heard my steps into the room. I'm still guilty of that incident.

"I'm sorry" I said softly.

Damon smiled weakly as he turned back and looked at the already brightly colored sky. That day the sun did not shine too brightly. I stepped onto the balcony and stood next to him. We were silent for a moment in silence. Damon shifted his position and faced me. He looked at me with a soft look. He grabbed my shoulder to face her. I looked up at his face.

He is a handsome figure with all his masculinity that is able to captivate all women in this world. But I could never love him. I know that Damon has loved me for a long time. The wind brushed my hair. Damon tidied my hair and hooked it behind my ears.

"Do you remember the tragedy of the arson?" He asked in a soft tone.

"How could I forget," I said in a soft tone.

Now my memory goes back to what happened a thousand years ago.

There were raids all over the city led by a group of Vampire Hunters. The Vampire Hunters captured almost all the vampires and gathered them in a field and burned them all alive. I almost got caught at the time but Damon saved me and took me to safety.

That night the screams of burnt vampires deafened my ears. To this day I still shiver when I remember the incident. Since then the group of Vampire Hunters have been increasingly ruthless while hunting our species. As in Van Helsing's story, the Vampire Hunters find themselves so cool when they slash the heads of wandering vampires.

Until now the Vampire Hunter clan still exists and still continues to hunt our species. Vampire hunters are human beings who want to make themselves into heroes like in movies. But without them knowing, they are also like monsters, because they hunt vampires who never even attack humans.

Since that night's mass arson, the God of Eternity has banned all vampires from preying on humans. We survive by drinking animal blood or drinking blood from a blood bank like I do.

Since Damon saved me back then, we've been traveling around the world for a while until I decided to travel alone because I didn't want to hurt Damon more. I can't repay her love. So I decided to leave him. Today he stood in front of me, still with the same feeling towards me. I still can't return his feelings.

"Scarlett ... Can't you just give me a little space in your heart?" He asked with a pleading tone that was so sincere.

My heart felt the pain of hearing her words. I don't want to hurt him. But I cannot repay his love. My heart belongs to Roland.

"Ramom ... I'm sorry" I whispered.

"Is it because of the man?" Ask.

I'm speechless. Damon grabbed me into his arms. I let him hug me. A shadow from the street in front of my house caught my attention. I let go of Damon's embrace and looked towards the shadow. There Roland walked into his car and drove his car away from my house at high speed. Did he see me cuddle with Damon? Damnit.

Erick ran into my room. His face looked tense.

Damon and I looked at each other. Who is the guest who can enter my house without my permission? Is ...

Me and Damon immediately ran towards the living room. There stood a figure who was no stranger to me. The man was wearing an expensive suit. But the look in his eyes contained a fire that seemed ready to send you to hell at any time.

Yes, the Dark God has arrived. Now he stood facing me with his two eyes that were emitting fire. I felt Damon stiffening beside me. It's been a long time since you last met the Dark God. The last thing you want in this world is to make him angry and make yourself devoured by a fire that he can throw out of his eyes easily towards a target that will never miss. I stood stiff in front of him.

"You're still as charming as ever, honey." He smiled showing off his fangs at me. He never hid his fangs like most of us. Maybe for him it feels cool. This time he did not wear his robe of pride, perhaps he felt the need to follow the trend of contemporary fashion.

"Why did you come here?" I asked carefully. I didn't want to make her angry and make myself burned alive in my own home. He was the Dark God of the Immortals, not only for the vampires, but for all the dark people like the succubus and the devil. He was the brother of Lucifer and Hades.

"Can't you greet me with sweet words?" ask her with a cynical smile.

"I know you must have come because you heard the rumors that were in town." I walked back to the sofa. I saw Damon and Erick still standing in the same position as before as if they were afraid to move. I don't see Leda anywhere. Maybe he was hiding in the kitchen and pretending to cook to avoid this one guest.

"Ah, you're smart." He walked up to me and sat down next to me while grabbing my hand and kissing her. I felt my hair goosebumps as her icy-cold lips landed on the back of my hand. "I'm sure you're not the one who broke the rules I made a thousand years ago." He turned his head to the left in a satirical tone.

"There's another vampire in town that's causing this mess." I explained calmly.

"Who is this rebel who dares to break my orders?" He speaks with his distinctive style of slow intonation like a perlente man.

"We're still looking for him." Damon answered the question and stepped towards the sofa and sat down on the sofa opposite me.

"Damon," he said with a smile. "You're a vampire whose age isn't too young. I want proof of your strength." His voice is conditioned by threat. I swallowed hearing his words.

"I will try to catch him" Damon said.

"Good," said the Dark God. "I'll wait for the good news from you as soon as possible." He said that while disappearing from the room.

Me, Damon and Erick stared at the empty spot where the Dark God disappeared. The three of us sighed in relief when he had already left the room.

"How do we find that fucking vampire?" I asked Damon.

Damon grinned wide at me. Erick and I looked at him with the same confusion.
