MY GUARDIAN VAMPIRE

Nothing lasts forever in this world. Except loyalty and true love.

The gentle breeze created the grass that moved in rhythm. Accompany two people who are still staring at each other until they wake up for a while.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Zara’s heart was beating abnormally again. Her eyes were now looking in any direction trying to normalize his heartbeat.

Jeffry , who woke up from his gaze that looked straight into Zara’s eyes, looked away in all directions. Jeffry was feeling nervous and happy now.

“Jeffry!”

Jeffry quickly turned to the source of the voice.

“I want to catch fireflies. Can I?”

“Sure, why do you have to ask?”

“What happened to me before made me have to be careful. Your world is really full of surprises. It could be that the firefly likes to eat humans like me.”

Zara winks cutely. Jeffry who saw it smiled widely, making Zara amazed to see it.

“Why when you kidnapped me you didn’t smile like this? Maybe I wouldn’t refuse when invited by a sweet vampire like you,” said Zara teasingly.

“You’re teasing me?!” Jeffry narrowed his sharp eyes to hear Zara’s narrative which he thought was ridiculous.

“Hahaha….., no Jeffry. I’m just kidding. But you’d be better off smiling. It makes your face less scary!” Zara lowers her voice afraid that Jeffry will get angry.

“I’d rather be seen as scary or cruel by others!”

“Well it’s up to you! You stupid vampire!”

“You idiot. You can’t even walk!”

“The path is too dark, it’s not me who is stupid,”

“Still you idiot!” Jeffry looked at Zara who looked so annoyed that her nose had turned red.

“Up to you!”

Zara starts catching flying fireflies.

“It’s not as easy as I thought!” Zara looks troubled while catching fireflies. Jeffry who saw it suddenly smiled “Prove that you are stupid!”

“If you can’t help it, better shut up. And stop calling me stupid. I can do this. Just watch!” Zara glanced at Jeffry briefly with an angry expression.

Jeffry cupped his hands in the air and caught a pair of fireflies.

“Look at this!” Jeffery shows off.

“You caught?” Zara looks excited.

“Sure! I’m not stupid,” he sneered.

Zara looked at Jeffry embarrassed.

“Show Jeffry’s fireflies,” Zara’s face lowered slightly in front of Jeffry’s hands which were holding fireflies.

Jeffry opened his hands slowly. A pair of fireflies appeared, making Zara who saw it smile widely. “Very beautiful..”

Zara cupped one firefly in Jeffry’s hand and watched the fireflies without blinking.

Jeffry’s fireflies flew and landed on Zara’s head, which made Zara smile even more. Jeffry also smiled at that.

“It’s too late. We need to rest!” Zara looked at Jeffry closely.

“Where to sleep? Is there an inn or hotel nearby?”

“There is. The inn of the demons!”

Zara who heard that immediately shuddered.

“We sleep here. In this meadow,” Jeffry sat followed by Zara who also straightened her legs.

“Sleeping here is better than in a stealth hotel.” Zara turned to Jeffry who was busy removing the sword hanging from his waist.

“May I ask you something, Jeffry?”

“Certain.”

“Do you have a lover?”

Jeffery suddenly turned around.

“No. I’m waiting for my Mate.”

“Mate?”

“The Moon Goddess’ fated partner, the Moon Goddess.” Suddenly Zara’s eyes turned to the moon that was shining brightly.

“What kind of a couple?”

“An eternal couple. Nothing can separate a couple’s relationship . Their love is eternal.”

Zara nodded in understanding.

“How can we recognize that person our Mate?” asked Zara with a look so curious. Something Jeffry said about Mate made him very interested to know more about it.

“I don’t know for sure. But when a Mate meets their instincts they say it’s the Mate.”

“What will your future mate Jeffry be? I’m sure. The person who became your mate was really unlucky to have a cruel, cold, and uncivilized man like you!” Zara laughs amused.

“Have you had enough of mocking me? Now go to sleep!” Jeffery said firmly.

“Well lord vampire who is so friendly and kind!”

Zara lay her body right next to Jeffry. “Why haven’t you fallen asleep?”

“You think vampires sleep?”

“So you never sleep?!” Zara looks really shocked.

“Not sleeping. We just closed our eyes. It made our energy and strength full again!”

“You guys are so unique and surprising. I’d like to hear more stories about creatures like you, but I’m already very sleepy.” Zara yawns then closes her eyes slowly and the dream world brings Zara’s consciousness to its fullest.

Jeffry caught a glimpse of Zara who had been fast asleep. He stood up and took off his black robe and wrapped it around Zara’s tiny body.

“You’re very cold, aren’t you, Zara?” Jeffry smiled looking at Zara who reflexively put aside her sleeping position looking for warmth from Jeffry’s robe.

After that Jeffry was silent staring at Zara’s face which was so peaceful closing her beautiful eyes. The light from the moon seemed to illuminate Zara’s calm face. The sound of the grass rubbing against each other makes the atmosphere so comfortable. The soft air continued to be felt there, making Jeffry’s hands reach out to reveal Zara’s hair that covered half of her face.

“You managed to tame a cruel creature like me, Zara!”

Jeffry looked at Zara’s face intently. His mind remembers the first time he met Zara. A small smile appeared on Jeffry’s face when he remembered when Zara was so scared when she found out that Jeffry was a vampire.

“Why do you have to be Zara who has immortal blood, why do you have to be an innocent and kind creature like you!”

Jeffery sighed softly. Her eyes still haven’t left the object that made her heart warm.

Arcelle stood in front of the large window in her room. He looked at the moon shining brightly tonight. “It’s been a long time since the moon has shone this bright.” He closed his eyes for a moment enjoying the gentle breeze. Arcelle’s heart was very restless thinking about Jeffry’s condition. He wanted so badly to hug his son.

The sound of footsteps was heard approaching towards Arcelle. The man who has stayed in Arcelle’s heart for centuries. Lord Yoshiro. the man who used to be valiant now looks a little old with time.

“You miss me?”

Arcelle smiled seeing her husband had returned after months. the man with the surname Hwang walked off his robe and took it off. Then came closer and hugged Arcelle tightly.

“What makes you sad Arcelle?” Even though Arcelle didn’t tell her husband, Yoshiro could always understand Arcelle’s feelings.

“It’s nothing. Get some rest. I’ll bring you a cup of roses.!”

“Because of our son you are sad like this?” Yoshiro asked.

“He’s gone too far. You already know what he’s doing.”

“Sure. Hanson wants immortal blood, doesn’t he?”

“Then? Did you just keep quiet about that?” Arcelle looks surprised

“You should understand that Arcelle. Your son will now be the leader of our clan. Great power must be possessed to protect a clan of this size!”

“A leader doesn’t have to have great power. A big heart is more important, my husband!” Arcelle could not understand what her husband said.

“I just want my son to be a great leader. I will support his decision!”

“By sacrificing your other son. Jeffry is in danger right now. We all don’t know where he is.”

“Jeffry is a great guardian of Arcelle. There’s no need to worry about him,” answered Yoshiro lightly.

“He is also your son Yoshiro, whatever it is Jeffry’s safety is everything to me!!” Arcelle snapped at Yoshiro loudly.

“What about Hanson’s happiness!! Did you think about it?!” Yoshiro snapped no less painfully.

“He’s your biological son Arcelle!! Not that guardian!!” Yoshiro snapped at Arcelle harshly.

“They are both my sons!! Brothers shouldn’t hurt each other. Jeffry loves Hanson so much and what Hanson did to Jeffry I can’t forgive!!” Arcelle ran out with tears in her eyes leaving Yoshiro frozen after hearing Arcelle’s statement.

Arcelle ran into a room she frequented frequently. A room that holds a sad memory. Memories of the past are buried tightly in this room. Arcelle ran sprawling her body on a chair and opened an ancient-looking book with a crescent moon symbol on the cover. Also carvings like tendrils of leaves around the book.

“I’m sorry this is Jeffry! If it wasn’t for Mother. You wouldn’t have suffered until now,” Tears escaped from Arcelle’s eyes. Past events that until now make Arcelle regret for life.

Chinhan Village, which looked quiet as usual, suddenly heard a loud explosion. The sound came from the door being forced open by a group of people wearing black robes and carrying sharp swords.

The place they damaged was the clothing store that Zara and Jeffry had visited earlier.

The shop owner came out of the shop including Hana out in a hurry. Hana’s eyes widened in fear as she watched a middle-aged woman who was none other than her employer tied to a pole. His body looks helpless just to speak.

Hana’s eyes fell on the group of people in black robes in front of her. Their faces are not fully visible because they are covered by the hood of the robe.

“Who are you! And what do you want!!!”

“Sshit.. don’t scream like that sweet lady. Or I’ll rip your mouth off!” one of them stepped closer to Hana who was already cornered in the corner of the table. Hana’s eyes caught the full face of the person in front of her. Its eyes glow red and it has a pair of long fangs from its mouth.

Vampire is a beautiful woman.

And that group of people were Jayden, Rico, Gavian, Somi, Alex, and Edward. They had already reached their first destination, Chinhan Village. By relying on Somi’s ability to see the past,

When he entered the village he saw Zara walking into a clothing store and a man in a robe walking in front of her but unfortunately Somi did not catch the face of the man who kidnapped Zara.

Hana who has been cornered is forced to use a power that is unknown to many. Hana punched Somi in the stomach and took a few steps back. Then Hana took advantage of the situation to transform herself into her true form as a fox demon.

Hana is a fox demon. Now he shows his true form which can be said to be very terrible. Hana, who previously looked innocent and friendly, has now turned into a frightening figure. His teeth were very pointy and long, his skin turned red and his nails looked long and sharp ready to rip anything in his path. Hana flew through the air preparing to fight the vampires in front of her.

“This is Somi’s toy. We don’t have to interfere,” Rico smirked.

“I don’t even have the heart to hurt a beautiful woman like her. Even though she’s a stealth,” -Alex

Sring…

The sword is pulled from its place by Somi. She threw her sword at Hana, but Hana quickly dodged. Somi quickly attacked again, hitting Hana in the face so hard that she fell on the floor.

Luckily, Hana immediately woke up when Somi wanted to stick a sword in her stomach.

“Women are terrible, aren’t they, Gavian?” Alex glanced at Gavian, who had been standing straight and silent for a long time, he was focused on watching Somi fight.

Now Hana is doing the attack. He made a vortex of wind from his hand and aimed it at Somi. The vortex managed to throw Somi’s body against the wall. Somi, who was getting more and more angry, quickly ran to point her sword at Hana and Hana kept on dodging shrewdly.

When Hana starts to be careless, Somi takes the opportunity to hit Hana’s side neck so hard that Hana falls down with little consciousness remaining.

“Where are you guys hiding Zara!”

Somi aims his sword to cut off Hana’s head. But his hand stopped in midair. “Stop it Somi!” Jayden stepped closer to Hana who was lying helplessly.

“Immediately treat the wound!! Summon the best healer in this village.” Jayden knows that Hana will give him valuable information about Zara’s whereabouts after observing Hana’s fight that she doesn’t use her full strength to easily defeat Somi.

After that, Rico and Alex sped off to carry out Jayden’s orders to find a healer.
