~Chapter One~

[Marisa'sPOV]

25th, December, 123 BC

"Do you think he's coming?" I asked my mother as I sneak a peek throw to window, searching if he was somewhere in sight.

I sighed when I don't see anything. He should already be here. My father said he would be here when the sun raised. The sun is almost setting and he's not here yet.

"I'm sorry sweetie" My mother told me rubbing my back "I'm sure he probably had something important. He'll make it up to you"

"Yea, listen to mother." my brother told me sitting next to me in the little couch at the window "He will be here. If not today then tomorrow. Don't worry,sister"

"I always worry" I said looking at the window again.

"Uncle Silas knows how to take care of himself" My brother told me looking at the window too "Now, c'mon. It's Christmas. We've to celebrate"

I looked at my brother who smiled at me. It's Christmas and probably he's right. Uncle Silas just had something important but he'll be here.

I smiled back at him as I got up and held my old brother's hand.

"It's Christmas"

"It's Christmas, Marisa"my best friend's voice took me out of my memory.

"It doesn't mean I have to celebrate it" I told her not making any eye contact.

"C'mon Marisa. You have to celebrate it" Sabrina told me sitting next to me "Your brother is outside waiting for you"

"He knows I don't celebrate Christmas"I simply told her not taking my eyes off the window.

"Marisa, he's trying to help. He doesn't know what happened, he wasn't there and, even if he was there, he would told you that you have to move on" Sabrina told me but I didn't dared to look at her.

"I don't need to move on"I said closing my eyes.

"Yes, you do. You need to move on from your uncle, from your father, from your mother and even from Peter"she told me and I knew she was right, I just couldn't do it.

"I can't" I told her getting up "It's too much. You know how much it meant to me and how much I suffered with it. Now, please, leave"

"No, I won't leave, Marisa" Sabrina insisted crossing her arms"You need help. Even if you don't want to admit it"

"I don't need help, Sabrina. I'm done with that" I shouted at her "I'm done with everybody telling me I need help. I don't fucking need help, Sabrina. I'm fine, okay? And even if I wasn't fine, who would care?"

I stormed out of the room in a flash, like me and my brother always did when we were learning how to control our vampire powers, not giving her time to answer. I don't need help. Help is something for weaks. I'm not weak.

I flashed to the florest where I always went. The dark florest. It's fun actually. They call it Dark Florest because of all the illusions and all the challenges but the fact is that, after all that, is amazing. In the challenges and illusions the florest is dark, the trees don't have leaves and they're grey. They look dark. When you pass all that, it's truly amazing. There's a big waterfall and then a big lake that is a passage between this world and Oceland.

I've always loved this world: Anjoland. I remember why I came here first. It was all Sabrina's fault. It was in this same day but two thousand years ago, when my uncle Silas didn't appeared for Christmas.
