End of the match
Mirta kissed Eros on the lips and smiled at him with full happiness.
“I'm going to the toilet! I need to make over again my makeup. Wait for me here!”
She held one side of his pale face and added another kiss on his left cheek. Eros almost smiled and shook his head, informing her He would wait for her there, in the middle of the school corridor.
Soon she walked toward the bathroom and disappeared from the scene.
In this meanwhile, I follow by the corridor and went through Eros, pretending not to see him there. So ignoring him as if he were nothing. At that occasion, I was embraced with my textbooks. All were pressed against my chest. While I was listening to the song of the Evanescence band called Whisper, only with the power of my mind.
Catch me as I fall
Say you're here and it's all over now
Speaking to the atmosphere
No one's here and I fall into myself
This truth drives me into madness
I know I can stop the pain
If I will it all away
If I will it all away
Don't turn away
(Don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light
(Never sleep, never die)
I'm frightened by what I see
But somehow I know that there's much more to come
Immobilized by my fear
And soon to be blinded by tears
I can stop the pain
If I will it all away
If I will it all away
Don't turn away
(Don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light
(Never sleep, never die)
Fallen angels at my feet
Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes
Lying next to me, I fear
She beckons me, shall I give in?
Upon my end, shall I begin?
Forsaking all I've fallen
For I rise to meet the end
Don't turn away
(Don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light
(Never sleep, never die)
Servatis a periculum
Servatis a malificum
Eros did not hold himself back in his place, soon the vampire scratched his chin and began walking behind me. I felt his steps moving on my back and I was happy to move on without looking back at him. He also knew that I was listening to this song through my mind. After that, the vampire Eros could hear it through his ears.
But his voice insisted on my back, ignoring the beautiful song that softened me at that occasion.
“What an ugly thing, Valkyrie!” whispered only for me to hear. “You used your vampire powers to throw down your adversary on the court! You should not do it to your former friend! You two were inseparable!”
I looked back and raised my right hand in the direction of his body, exclaiming with full impatience.
“Go to hell!”
My invisible power struck him and threw him to the hallway wall. Eros got annoyed by the aggression coming from me. Soon he also raised his hand and released the same invisible power at my back. I was turned to one side and hit my back against the other wall. My books fell to the floor.
Eros moved like a flash towards me and stopped in front of me. He leaned his elbow against the wall and beside of my head. Soon he looked sarcastically into my eyes at the same time. But I could see his eyes were burning as well.
“As always you act by jealous of me!”
I stared into his eyes and I wanted to spit in his face. Now I did not know if I loved him or hated him. My feelings were so confused inside me.
“Leave me alone! You no longer attend classes, but you visit that shit school just to torment me!”
I squeezed my lips and eyes at the same time. Other invisible power came out of my right hand and I threw Eros against a set of lockers on the other side of the wall while exclaimed furiously at his direction.
“Stay away from me!”
Buuuuum !!!!
The back of Eros made that noise against the lockers. In this thump, a school boy had arrived there and stopped in front of lockers. He saw the impact of Eros’s body against the students’ cabinets. He also saw when Eros pulled his back from it. Then the young man saw a huge dent in the metal sheet.
“You crunched my locker!”
Exclaimed in the direction of Eros. The vampire looked at the light brown haired boy's face and snapped his fingers at him. The young man was hypnotized at once as He was completely still before his crumpled closet.
Eros turned his back to him and exclaimed with an audible voice.
“Idiot-human!”
At this minute, I collected all my books off the floor with the power of my mind and they came to stop in my arms, all organized against my chest. Soon I moved on and let Eros back. He stood still, looking at my image in motion while I exclaimed with mockery.
“You're going to let the idiot human hypnotized forever?”
The vampire frowned on my back and let me go away without bothering me again. Without looking back, he snapped his fingers and the boy awoke from his hypnotization.
He looked lost around, not knowing what had really happened there.
Eros passed by him and looked into the subject's face and the student did not remember that Eros had crumpled his locker at school. Then Eros went on with his hands in the pockets of his dark trousers. At that instant, the boy touched the wrinkled surface of his locker and whispered.
“Who was the vandal who did it?”
Eros heard the question and said nothing. His eyebrow arched and he answered without looking back. But his answer clearly reached the ears of the boy in blue shirt.
“Someone who is not an idiot human like you are!”
CHAPTER 23
The pupils in school were frightened by a huge snake that appeared into the yard, in the middle of classes. They rushed to the school hallway.
The school principal came to see what was happening.
Students reported they saw a huge snake crawling on the lawn near the entrance. Some employees were assigned to search for the snake and kill it.
They took hours doing searches and found nothing. Due to this, students were released early.
After school, I was surprised to see Bizak outside the school. He was standing near the main gate. But I didn’t believe he was there at my school and away from Neptune.
“Bizak!” I exclaimed surprised as my lips almost liberated a small smile. That was good to see him there before me because I didn’t expect he could come to planet Earth just sometime after my departure from Neptune.
“Valkyrie!” he said, smiling at me even so. His teeth looked so white. His eyes remained predetermined to look at my face for a great time. Bizak looked very content to see me facing him.
“What are you doing here?” I insisted and glanced aside. At this moment, some students paid attention to us. They knew Bizak was somebody new there. But their thoughts didn’t know he was a vampire, coming directly from Neptune.
Thinking that way, I almost smiled again, and then I faced Bizak’s countenance another time.
“I’m going for a walk,” he said. But his voice didn’t sound convincing. There was something further his simple walk.
“Did you come here on my father's behalf?” I asked him.
His head curved a little and his eyes made a quick run over th
e ground.
“Your father fell asleep again. He does not know I'm here on this planet,” he explained with calm and slid his hands into pockets of his long black cape. Bizak sounded a very attractive vampire for the period of this scene.
My lips compressed, I nodded and asked him other question. “That snake in the yard was you?”
“I did not think it would cause so much noise in this school!”
He thought it was funny to see people going into a panic. Bizak liked that type of thing. He looked not being as prudent as Eros was.
“You could have been more discreet.” advised after I gave him a short shrug.
He remained to observe my soft image.
“I will not do that again.” smiled at me as he felt full of power on the planet Earth. There he looked to be invincible.
“How did you find me here?” I asked him, following after.
His shoulders moved sympathetically in my direction. He started saying.
“It was not hard to find you.” His pale hands were free from his black pockets.
“Do you want to stay long on Earth?”
“I do not know yet ...” his head shook kindly.
“What about my father? How is he?”
“How I told, he is...sleeping.”
We walked together to the main street. My steps looked tranquil. I had no hurry to get home. So Bizak remained to step beside me. At this moment, he was looking to the ground. There was something he wanted to declare me, soon he continued speaking.
“Your father banished Eros from Neptune.” His brow wrinkled at the daylight. He was not used to it. Nevertheless, he didn’t lament about it and continued walking with tranquility at my side as a great gentleman.
“I'm aware of that,” I said normally and bit my lip. Deeply I was so sorry for Eros. He belonged to that place. Neptune was his home. My father even being a vampire King but he had no permission to expel Eros from there.
That was a great cruelty.
“How do you know that?” he asked, staggered. His forehead squeezed at me.
“Eros told me,” I confessed him innocently and looked down at the soil. At the same time as I remembered my last conversation with him. It was terrible.
“Is he here?” Bizak asked in astonishment and glanced away as if he wished to see Eros there close to us.
“Yes,” I responded as my thought was on Eros. His return to the planet Earth was something very bad. He should have gone to another place that could be extremely away from me. Maybe I would thank him for it, instead of hating him currently.
“What’s he doing here?” Bizak sniffed and his intelligence didn’t assimilate Eros’s revisit to planet Earth. After all, Eros hadn’t any mission there. Not he did recognize.
“I don't know.” shook my head little by little and my eyes visited the ground.
But Bizak looked seriously to me. “Valkyrie, beware of Eros. He might have come here to take vengeance on you.”
I stared scared at him. What he had just said made no sense.
“I do not think he's capable of it.”
“You do not know Eros enough to be sure,” Bizak advised while trying to convince me otherwise.
CHAPTER 24
A few meters from the front porch Eros appeared in front of me. He fell down from the roof. His body was bent and his posture became correct soon after. In a little while his gaze met my face in shock. I really didn’t expect his presence there.
“It’s you again!” I said severely, taking away my gaze from his picture. “You promised me you would not come after me again.”
“What is Bizak doing here?” he asked seriously as his arms crossed over his tough chest. Eros looked to want to know everything about Bizak during his strange visit to Earth.
“You must ask him that,” I responded uncivilly as faced him in the face and Eros perceived my humor was not co-operating with his most recent question.
“I'm not kidding, Valkyrie.” He stared at my face gravely and his lips condensed sturdily. His words echoed with ferocity between his white teeth.
“I don't know about Bizak’s life.”
“You two are very close,” he affirmed in fury and took some steps in front. The force of his steps almost fractured the poor soil.
“Are you watching me?” I asked almost immediately, while looking into his attractive gray eyes.
“No,” his head nodded, he answered and looked down at the ground. Looking ashamed with my supposition.
“How do you know we are so ... ‘close’?” I insisted, my voice had a little break.
“I am a vampire ...did you forget?”
“No.”
“Unfortunately ...you and I have a strong bond. There are certain things that happen to you that I see while you're away from me,” he confessed, staring at my face. His eyes shined eccentrically toward me.
“I feel it, too.” I said gazing up at his face with more force.
Then there was silence.
Meanwhile, the rock and roll concert’s images came to my mind, where I saw Christian being dragged fiercely by Eros. He strongly held the boy's neck with his hands and then he strangled him.
“You killed Christian!” I said, after having the visions.
“Only now did you see that?” He laughed, thinking of this day. Eros looked to find fun in Christian’s death. As if he was playing of killing people.
“Why did you kill him? You hadn’t drunk his blood!” I asked as I was confused. My pale cold hand slid by my brow.
Soon he faced me with affront. “I would never drink the blood of that idiot!”
“You killed him to stay with Mirta ...Now I understand” I said convicted and my hate increased even more after that.
“Wrong!” he said and turned his back to me. “He awakened in me only hatred ...because he persecuted me in school all the time. I would not let a guy like him live and cross my path from time to time.”
“You did this to get closer to Mirta!” I stated full of anger at him. “You're a monster!” I shouted at him.
“What about you? You’re not?” he smiled slightly. “I know you killed your admirer Douglas in the classroom!” he said satisfied at my murderous behavior.
“I did not kill him because I wanted to ...I just couldn’t control my wish for blood.”
“What difference does it make now? He’s dead, Valkyrie.”
“Taking a life for you it is so normal!” I got goose bumps with his coldness.
“You should be accustomed to it ...Vampires are not nice!”
“I try to be different from our species!”
“You do not seem to be the daughter of the master.” He looked at me with disgust. “You not deserve to be the Princess of the Vampires.”
Eros became smoke and disappeared into the air.
CHAPTER 25
Every year there is a party in school, to celebrate the arrival of winter. The party this year was organized in the school yard. They made a bonfire in the center of the courtyard.
All round, various bamboos were stuck in the ground with colored flags hanging all around. Half a dozen stalls selling drinks, snacks and sweets were also there.
The party was crowded with people, many students were present. There was a small stage in the middle of the festival. A rock band was animating the environment.
I went to the party accompanied by Bizak. He was the only friend I had at that moment.
I was in my black dress with low neck and a little lace on my dress skirt. I put on black gloves to hide my pale fingers.
Bizak wore pants and a dark shirt.
We stayed away from people. But we could see every move at the party.
Bizak rubbed his fingers and a black rose appeared in the air. He took the flower and put it into my hair. So I gave him a round gaze.
“This will match your dress,” the vampire said as he fitted the ornament on my head.
I thanked him with an amiable smile. Bizak was being very fine with me. I w
as going by a hard moment in my life and Bizak was at my side to try to bring me up.
“You look beautiful!” he said staring at my face.
I turned my gaze to the side and saw Eros arriving at the party and Mirta was at his side. Another twinge of jealousy arose within me. It was inevitable for me to avoid feeling it.
Eros and Mirta looked at me and Bizak. Mirta should be thankful that I was accompanied by Bizak to the party.
I held the cold hand of the vampire. “Let's get out of here!” I pulled Bizak without giving him the right to choose.
We went to a location quite far from everyone. I didn't want to continue seeing Eros with Mirta. My escape would be the best solution to my anxious heart.
“The party is not pleasing you?” Bizak asked staring at my melancholy face.
“I should not have come to this party,” I confessed unhappily and glanced to the right.
“As always ... ‘Eros,’ he said in enragement and after that he exhaled noisily. “He ruins everything!”
“He is not the problem...and yes ... myself,” I said as I looked down at the floor. I was feeling myself so unhappy. Actuality I had forgot I had my mother, my father and a title of princess for all my eternity. “I’m an idiot for liking him too much,” I confessed.
“I warned you that he would torment you.” His eyes met mine. He nearly saw me shed tears. But he held them back. Eros never deserved my tears. Never.
“I did not expect he could do this to me ... he being involved with Mirta. She has been my only friend.” Finally confessed him, with my voice easily broken.
Consequently Bizak faced me in the face. I could see his eyes closer and felt his voice closer as well. “Eros is capable of doing terrible things! You must be very careful with him.”
“He cannot do anything against me. I'm stronger than him.”
Soon my head shook and I gazed away.
“He is more cunning than you and that's a powerful weapon.” Bizak held my face and other gaze ran to my countenance. “Although you are our princess, you are still naive. You didn’t learn how to be a complete vampire.”
