SCARLETT (Kiss From The Darkness)
Chapter 32

I stood with a stiff body in the living room. Why is the situation becoming more and more complicated like this, I asked in my heart. What about Leda? Is he okay? I trembled at the condition of Leda a few days ago when I found her lying in my backyard.

This time Leda is back in danger because of me. The Dark Lord must have deliberately taken her to make her a hostage in order for me to obey her will. How can I always be a disaster to the people I care about? It was as if this world never allowed me to live happily with the people I loved.

Am I so useless as Victor told me? Am I so helpless that I do not deserve to be in this world?

I was unable to save my parents' lives. I cannot save my kingdom. I also threatened Roland's life several times because of me. Leda also experienced something dangerous for her life because of me. I am a useless creature.

I sat on the couch with my shoulders down. I let my tears flood my cheeks. I cried until my shoulders shook.

My chest feels tight. This time my opponent is the Dark God himself. How am I able to fight him? I'm getting so excited thinking about it.

I felt a soft touch on my shoulder. I looked. I saw Roland looking at me with a worried look.

"What's going on?" tanyanya's worried.

I got up from my seat and picked up the paper I had thrown on the floor. I handed the paper to Roland.

Roland grabbed the paper and read the message listed there. I saw an expression of anger on his face. Roland gritted his jaws after reading the message written there.

"The Dark God brought Leda and Erick," I said softly.

I looked up at Roland. His gaze glared as if thinking about that. Maybe he was thinking.

"He did it on purpose so I could go there." I said it with emotion.

"He also brought Erick?" Roland asked curiously.

I'm nodding.

"Last time I saw Leda with Erick." I answered him in a soft voice.

I really feel guilty for Leda and Erick. They are in danger because of me.

"I ... ," my voice choked.

Roland looked at me and stepped closer to me. He sat down beside me and pulled my head to lean against his chest. He rubbed my head gently.

I closed my eyes while leaning against his chest. I don't know why I felt so much calmer when Roland was by my side. I listened to his heart rhythm and inhaled the scent of his breath.

"I always endanger the people I care about" I said with tears in my eyes.

I felt Roland shake slowly. His hand rubbed my shoulder as if to give me peace.

"It's not your fault" he said in a soft tone.

"No, this is all happening because of me." This time I let go of his embrace on my shoulder.

I sat down and faced her with eyes full of tears.

"I couldn't save my parents, you were also several times near death because me, Leda and Erick were always in danger too because of me." This time my words were mixed with sobs.

Roland pulled me back into his arms. He rubbed my back.

"You know, sometimes we need to let things happen out of our control." He said it while hugging me tighter to give me strength.

I looked up to look into his eyes. He wiped my tears with his hand.

"It's not your fault" he repeated to me with a soothing smile.

I put my head back on his shoulder.

"What if something happens to Leda and Erick?" I trembled a little when I said that.

"We're going to save them." Roland said it in a tone full of confidence.

I hugged Roland. It was as if that way I felt peace and strength flowing into my soul.

We were both shocked by the sound of footsteps entering my living room. I looked towards that voice. Damon stepped up with a grim face and sat across from me.

"Did I miss a terrible event?" Ask with a grim face.

I explained to her about Victor coming here and the invasion of wild vampires. I also told him that the Dark Lord took Leda and Erick as captives.

Damon scrunched his forehead hearing my story. His face is getting dark.

"It turns out the son of a bitch took them," he said in a cold tone.

"Where have you been?" I asked him.

"I was almost taken away by the son of a bitch who was crazy about you!" Clearly in a annoyed tone. "Thank God I managed to escape." Entrapment.

I digested the information Damon said.

"So the Dark God met you?" I asked while wrinkling my two eyebrows.

"Yes, but I ran away from her. Had he managed to catch me, I might have gone almost mad by now." He said it with an angry face.

Damon hasn't come here since. That is, when Roland and I were fighting Victor and the wild vampires, Damon was fighting the Dark God. Did the Dark God deliberately seize the moment?

"Damon, we have to save Leda and Erick." I said it while looking at him.

Damon snorted at my words.

"Why should I save them?" Two said it while looking at me.

I frowned returning his gaze.

"They have nothing to do with me!" damon said indifferently.

"Damnu, ... " I called him so that he would look at me.

He was staring at me. I felt Roland's embrace getting stronger on my shoulder.

"I beg you, for my sake," I said softly.

Damon's facial expression seemed to soften. I saw him breathing heavily. He stared fixedly at me. I returned his gaze with pleading eyes.

"Alright," he said.

I breathed a sigh of relief hearing it

"Thank you" I whispered.

"I did it for you!" Damon said it while staring fixedly at me.

I'm nodding.

Damon's gaze turned towards Roland's hand that was still tightly hugging my shoulder. Damon's expression looked wounded. My heart aches when I see the pain in his eyes. Why is everyone hurt when they are around me? I brushed off the thoughts that seemed to be eating away at my soul.

The three of us stiffened when we heard the sound of wolf howls coming from my front yard. I sit up straight.

I turned towards Roland and Damon in turn. Their faces both stiffened.

I got up from the couch. Roland and Damon were standing to my left right as my shield.

We heard that howl like the sound of sadness. This time it must have been the werewolves who sensed that their Alpha was in danger.
