SCARLETT (Kiss From The Darkness)
Chapter 20

I feel distracted. I felt the floor under my feet. But my body feels like it's shaking. Perhaps this was the effect of teleportation a moment ago. Being misted in a forced manner like that made me a little dizzy. I am now in an empty room. It is like a room but there is no furniture in it. This room is empty.

I saw Victor standing in front of me with a grinning mouth that set its fangs. It's like a beast. His face had not changed for several thousand years. He is still the old Victor. The Killer. It is a demon. His face was thin and looked terrible. It looks old. His eyes radiated greed. Her lips are so thin.

I don't understand why his transformation into a vampire makes him look old and creepy. Vampires should look charming, but Victor gets the opposite look. He looked even more terrifying than when he was a human. Is there something wrong with the spell?

He used to search for the Forgotten Wise and force the witch to perform rituals to make herself immortal. At first the witch refused because of her hatred for Victor. But Victor forces her to torture the Witch. Finally the Forgotten Wise complies with Victor's wishes. But after the ritual was over, Victor killed the witch.

Could there be something wrong with the spell so Victor doesn't get the vampire's natural charm? It happened a few days after I was turned into a vampire by the witch. I escaped to a faraway place to escape Victor's pursuit. One night, Victor is caught in a mass arson attack. I saw him get caught and burned with other vampires. Did I see wrong? Was it not Victor who was once captured by the Vampire Hunter clan?

Victor laughed in front of me as if he knew what I was thinking right now.

"You're wondering if I'm still alive?" He said that while laughing.

"I saw you get caught that night." I answered.

"I am an immortal being. I can't die!" He said that with a proud tone.

"I saw you burn that day!" I said it firmly.

He laughed at what I said. He looked even more terrifying when laughing like that.

"Fire can't kill me! I can even light a fire in my hand!" His laughter is getting louder.

Whahuh? Can he light a fire in his hand? Why does he have such power? I was older than him even in a matter of days, but I couldn't light a fire in my hand. Why does he have powers I don't have? We were transformed by the same witch. Why do we have different powers? Is the spell wrong? Or was the witch intentionally using a different spell? That witch should have given me the power of fire instead of Victor, the one she hated.

"I'll be the Dark God!" This time his laughter sounded blaring.

"You'll never make it." I said it in a mocking tone.

He stopped laughing at my words. He looked at me with his scary eyes.

"I managed to bring you here" he said as he stepped closer to me. "I'll bring the Dark God here and then kill you both!" He came back laughing.

I keep stepping back. I hit the wall and could no longer avoid it. He continued to approach me with his hideous face and his menacing eyes. He choked my neck tight. I pulled his hand and tried to break away. But he is too strong! I felt my breath jerk out as he slammed my body onto the floor. I immediately got up and rushed towards him to attack him. But he came forward and caught me. He twisted my arm to the back of my back.

"It turns out you don't have any power like a princess!" He mocked me.

"I'll kill you! I will avenge my father and mother!" I screamed at him.

"Just try it." He kept mocking me. "You won't live long after this." He tightened the grip of his hand on my hand.

I tried to let go of my hand but the grip of his hand was so strong. I couldn't let go of my hand. I struggled trying to escape. He threw me back. This time I flew and hit the wall. I saw the wall crack because of the force of my body. I feel a little dizzy. I was about to get up but Victor had rushed towards me and punched me in the face.

I saw a flash of silver dagger in his hand. Victor pointed the dagger at my shoulder. I screamed loudly. He intentionally wanted to torture me. He turned the dagger to torture me with pain. I felt my tears running down my cheeks. The pain in my shoulder was burning. My eyes began to blur. I felt the consciousness diminish. I saw my father and mother's shadow in my mind. I remember all my childhood memories with my parents. I saw my country prosper before Victor ravaged my country.

I remember when my father carried me around the palace. I saw the shadow of my mother walking with the ladies with a smile on her pretty face. I felt my tears flowing more and more. I remember Leda. How is he now? Maybe she was crying because she was worried about me. I remember Erick. He was like a brother to me. What about Damon? He will definitely look for me. The last shadow is the one that pierces my heart the most. I remember Roland's face. I haven't been able to say that I love her. Yes, I love Roland.

Had I survived Victor's grip, I swore I would have told Roland I loved him. I don't care that we're a different species. I will love Roland with all my heart. Roland's. Ilove you. What is he doing right now? Is he thinking of me like I am thinking of him? My consciousness is disappearing. I let the darkness cover me.

I heard Victor's laughter turning so faint. The darkness swallowed me. The pain in my shoulder paralyzed me even more. Be ill. Will I really catch up with my mom and dad this time? That thought made me smile. No. gabe. I still want to meet Roland. I have to express my feelings to her! Ariston ... Helpme! I screamed in my heart. I hope Roland will come to save me. The darkness is swallowing me deeper.
