The Grave Of Palladi [JayWon]

Chapter 11

He rested my head on the pillow and stared while he's on top of me. The whole time, it feels like I'm trapped in his eyes.

He locked his gaze into my edge, his thumb played with my lips. I was panting heavily that I feel like the whole room is echoing my breath. He was about to kiss me when my tummy growled in hunger.

I covered my cheeks in embarrassment.

"Pfft!" He laughed so hard and got off from my top. "You should probably eat. I'll be back on the cellar. Wait for me here, alright? I'll get some helpers to take you food to eat." He kissed my forehead and got out of the room.

The moment I heard the door closed, I took the pillow and screamed on top of my lungs to vent out. 

That was so embarrassing! I just want the ground to swallow me. I feel like I should dig my own grave. 

I feel like I shouldn't feel this way. But why am I so concerned about how he feels? The way I get conscious with the way I look whenever I'm around him.

I kept on recalling his laugh. It feels different with me. I want to see it more.

I went to the room's balcony after eating the food that was immediately served to me. It's almost night. I should probably go home.

But then I remembered Ni-ki's words to me before all of these current events happened. It was as if he knew something about it from the very start. His words actually makes sense. Like there were hints with every words he said, and that he knows something about what is happening right now. 

I should probably look for him. Maybe he has answers. Maybe he knows something. Just like how he tells me advices when we were younger.

The longer I stay outside and feel the cold temperature, the more I realize how long he's taking to finish his business.

I went outside of my room and tried to look for him. I haven't even arrived the cellar room but I already saw them talking on the reception of the castle. I hid behind a statue and saw Jay, Jake, Heeseung, together with the grand elder. They look like they're discussing something very important.

It's surprising how they still haven't noticed my presence until now. The tense moment makes the surrounding more serious. Probably the reason why they still haven't noticed me when they're actually vampires.

I listened to what they're talking about. And it's actually way more serious than what I thought.

"The three of you appeared to have violated a very significant rule." The grand elder started off. "I am disappointed, children. But I also cannot bare to see one of you get into trouble." He paused and gazed at the hyungs. "I do understand your reasons behind this behavior. And I hope that this won't happen again in the near future. Because not only us, but the whole world is at stake by every steps that we make. And we happened to have offended the enemy. Which makes more reason for them to come at us. But I also wouldn't want the new kid to experience issues. At the same time, I am very proud of the three of you."

"We ask for you forgiveness, Grand elder." Jay said while bowing his head.

The three of them are sitting besides each other while Jay is sitting in the middle. All three of them are bowing their heads, staring at the ground while listening to the grand elder. Like kids getting punished.'

"Alright," he sighed. "Yesterday, while the casualty was ongoing, a vivid vision came into my mind. That everyone of us must be aware of. Especially you, Jake."

Jake suddenly raised his head. "Me?"

"Yes." The grand elder firmly said. "You have to travel north, my child. Look for a prince who is said to be dancing in a white scenery. His hair like apple, skin blends with the cold white ground. Beautiful from the moment you see him, like a prince of the north."
