MY GUARDIAN VAMPIRE

Light, silent, but full of meaning. It’s easy but will always look beautiful. Ordinary but special. You know what I mean?

Jeffry Ernest Luxion

****

Soon it will be dark at night. The sun only leaves a little light, the light purple dusk makes the sky look amazing this afternoon in the immortal world. The warmth that had disappeared made Zara’s body shiver with the cold, bringing her body closer to a fireplace made by Jeffry.

“The color of the sky is so beautiful,” Zara said in a cold, cold voice.

“Stop admiring the sky, look at you! You could get sick Zara.”

“Since when did you know my name, I thought you didn’t.” Zara turned to look at Jeffry with her messy hair because it was wet.

Instead of answering, Jeffry stood up and took off his robe and came over and put it on Zara’s back.

“If you want to kidnap someone you have to know his name first, then you can kidnap easily!” Jeffery replied with a small laugh.

“You want to know my name for kidnapping me?! That’s very criminal. If I return to the human world I will report you to the police!!”

“Why can’t you stop talking!! Warm up first and then talk to your heart’s content!”

Zara hugged her tightly hoping that warmth would come.

After that they both fell silent. Jeffry looked at Zara, regret enveloped his feelings for forcing Zara to jump from such a high waterfall, even though Jeffry’s face was still flat and cold but it didn’t describe his feelings. I wanted to get closer to Zara and hug the little body that delivered warmth. But not warmth, Zara will get colder because Jeffry’s own skin is cold as ice.

There was a moment of silence between them, leaving behind the sound of small insects and the darkness of the night that had arrived. The light of the sun is now completely replaced by the light of the moon.

A glimpse of Jeffry’s eyes looked at Zara who had been carving a smile, also observing Zara’s body which was no longer quivering like before.

“Jumping from the waterfall earlier made you so happy?”

Zara turned quickly, narrowing her eyes in a sign of rejection.

“No! Only madmen would be happy jumping from such a high waterfall!!”

“I’m smiling because of you Jeffry,” Zara admits honestly.

Jeffry turned his head, his eyes caught Zara’s sparkling eyes.

“Yeah, I’m smiling because you’re so worried about me. You’re so romantic!”

Jeffry just stared blankly and coldly then corrected the wood that was running out in the fireplace. Actually, when he heard Zara’s words, his face immediately felt hot, that’s why he turned his face so that Zara wouldn’t see it.

“You’re embarrassed Jeffry?! why do you look awkward like this, hahaha…” Zara laughed really hard.

“It’s so much fun teasing a vampire,” Zara thought, laughing.

Zara laughed in satisfaction then got up and sat right next to Jeffry. Erase the distance between them.

“Am I that annoying Jeffry! Until you don’t want to come near me, sit down!?”

Jeffry looked at Zara who was sitting right next to him, tightly gripping the black robe that draped over his back.

“If you approach me, you’ll get colder,” said Jeffry with eyes that couldn’t take his eyes off the cold Zara.

“Is that true?!”

Zara is getting closer, again eroding the distance that only leaves a few centimeters.

“Not as bad as before, I’m a little warmer!” Zara snapped, she was disappointed with Jeffry’s treatment. Jeffry sat really far from him. Zara also realized that Jeffry’s body was cold, at least he wasn’t sitting alone, it would make him colder.

Zara intends to return to the original place before Jeffry’s wet hoarse voice made Zara undo it.

“Stay here!” looked at Jeffry with sad eyes.

Zara carved a small smile.

“You’re so tired Jeffry. Your eyes look tired.”

“Carrying you that far made my strength decrease a lot, you’re so heavy.”

Zara glared at him with an annoyed look.

“You’re the one who wanted to carry me!!” Zara’s nose turns red.

Jeffry shook his head along with a charming smile.

“Now go to sleep!” Jeffry leaned his body against a large rock. Starting to close his eyes, don’t forget the hand that tightly grips the sword on the side just in case.

Zara stares at a stream of water flowing slowly near her sitting. They sat on the small grass which was soft enough for them to rest for the night. Zara looked up to look up, only the grove of trees could be seen because the sky had turned dark. He found Jeffry who already looked comfortable making Zara transfixed for a moment at the handsome vampire who was with her at this time.

“I know you are very tired Jeffry, why do you bother doing all this when you don’t want to. Was the person who told you to kidnap me that bad,”

“I also know the creatures that were chasing us just now want me, why do you have to risk your life for him?!”

Zara muttered to herself as she played with her slender hands in the calm stream of the river.

“Why are you not sleeping?!” Zara looks on in shock.

“I’m tired of sleeping,” Zara replied without turning her head.

“Why are you awake, you just sleep Jeffry, I know you are tired. I will not run away…” said Zara innocently.

Jeffry straightened his body and took a deep breath.

“That’s enough rest!” Suddenly Jeffry got up followed by the sound of a sword being inserted into its place. Causing Zara to look up curiously.

“Where to?”

“Quickly stand up!” Jeffry ordered curtly.

Zara then got up while smoothing her hair which was messy because it was wet. Jeffry’s robes are still faithful to him to warm the body.

Across the river there is a path that looks uphill to a hill. Jeffry walked first across the river by stepping on the stones.

“Where else is he taking me to?” Zara grumbled annoyed, her body still felt tired. But Jeffry was really clueless about that.

“He’s a vampire. Don’t forget Zara!!” murmured softly.

Zara followed Jeffry’s footsteps carefully treading stone by stone as she crossed the calm stream.

Jeffry had reached the other side of the river while Zara was only half way.

Before stepping on the next stone, suddenly Zara’s balance faltered and slipped.

Immediately, a hand gripped her waist tightly…

And again, Zara’s heartbeat was always abnormal when Jeffry touched her.

Jeffry pulled Zara’s body in his arms, darted fast to reach the other side of the river with ease and pulled his hand from Zara’s waist.

“Tsk! You’re a fool for walking!” said Jeffry without turning his head and walking away.

“What’s wrong with you Zara? Why is your heart so weak just because Jeffry touched you!!” Zara screamed in her heart while hitting her head lightly.

Zara trailed behind Jeffry, the uphill path they passed was very steep, Zara looked so difficult to pass it.

Zara ‘s hands held her long dress so as not to be stepped on.

“Actually where are we going Jeffry!?” said Zara with great difficulty trying to get through the uphill and steep road.

Bruk

Again Zara slipped and fell on her face, her hands supporting her body quickly so she didn’t fall completely.

Jeffry, who heard Zara’s voice fall, glanced back with an embarrassed look. He goes to Zara and extends hand right in front of Zara’s face.

At first Zara was a little hesitant to touch the hand in front of her face now. However, his body did not agree with his feelings. Zara intertwined her hands and Jeffry gripped tightly in return.

Both of Zara’s eyes couldn’t take their eyes off of Jeffry’s hands, which were tightly linked, leading Zara through a steep and uphill road. Now Zara is starting to wonder where Jeffry will take her.

Zara looked up at the sky and the sparkle of light looked really beautiful even though it was still covered by dense trees. Until his feet were really at the top of the hill.

Immediately, Zara’s irises looked very bright with a little water starting to fill her eyelids.

The aurora sky was displayed so clearly in front of Zara. Zara turned to look at Jeffry then replied a nod with a small smile from Jeffry as if to say. “This is very beautiful.”

Zara silently stared in amazement at the expanse of the sky sparkling with colorful lights. He could not open his voice, enjoying every second of the beauty he saw together with a vampire who still faithfully linked their hands.

Tears escaped from Zara’s beautiful eyes, happy tears saw the sky so beautiful in her eyes, “This is like Jeffry’s dream!”

“You are happy?” asked Jeffry hopefully.

“Very very happy…! Are you happy too Jeffry?”

Jeffry looked at Zara who was looking closely. Jeffry gave a nod and a really sweet smile made Zara’s happiness feel complete tonight.

Jeffry pulled Zara’s hand closer to a tall shady tree.

“What do you want with this tree Jeffry?”

“Climb up, I’ll take care of you from below!”

“No, it’s too high..” Zara protested.

“Then you’re downstairs.” said Jeffry

“Sure, with pleasure.” Zara answered as she looked up to observe Jeffry who started to climb the tree.

“Don’t shout if a wolf approaches you. In the middle of the night like this the wolf is hungry.”

In an instant, Zara changed her mind.

“Wait…! I’m going to climb.”

Jeffry smiled triumphantly.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“How to?” asked Zara with various curses running through her head.

“Climb this tree branch and don’t look down if you’re scared.” Zara started to climb lifting one leg to one of the branches then followed by Jeffry.

“Enough of that,”

Zara looked down at Jeffry briefly and stepped into the middle of the branch on instructions from Jeffry. Jeffry came closer to Zara and stood in front of her.

For a moment their eyes met again before Jeffry pointed his index finger forward interrupting Zara to follow him.

“This is really too beautiful, Jeffry…”

Zara stared at the expanse of the aurora sky. His irises sparkled watching the very beautiful Aurora from the top of the tree like this for the first time in his life.

Jeffry carved a big smile looking at Zara’s happy face from the side. Until a sentence was spoken in his heart with sincerity.

“I won’t hand you over to anyone. No matter what risks I have to face in the future. I want that smile forever, Zara.”

Jeffry’s eyes looked meaningfully and at that moment Zara looked at Jeffry’s eyes trying to understand the feelings in her heart that she didn’t understand.
