Mateo & Anthony (part 1)

(Blythe)

We are on Loffled's mansion, Mateo invited me to have dinner with Loffleds. It's only 4pm but me and Beau already here because i intend to help Anthony to cook. I'm a great home-cook by the way.

The minutes we were arrived, i spotted Mateo and Anthony are holding on each other's hand and take turn to gave smooches to each other's cheeks.

"Beau, why are they so clingy to each other?" i wondering since this is maybe the 5th times i came here and i never saw them apart from each other.

"That's just how they show their love to each other." Beau answer me and just walking towards the door.

"Hai Anthony, this, i brought you beef, mushroom, potatoes, and the others just in case we need it. Let's start cooking." me and Anthony walk towards the kitchen which placed on the back of this big mansion. Huge kitchen with big kitchen set hanging on each walls and the big thick wooden table in the center.

"When father's still alive, we used to hanging out here. Just sit and talk about our life while sipping coffee or tea." Anthony noticed as i touching the table with amazement.

15 minutes doing the preparation and we still peeling potatoes while talking about why Beau and Mateo love potatoes so much.

"Imagine have to peel potatoes everyday for hundred years." Anthony open up a conversation. And since he mention about 'hundred years', i think i'm gonna ask about whats on my mind since first time i saw them.

"Hmm..You're really love him, aren't you?" Anthony stopped what he was doing and look deep into my eyes and smiling.

"We love each other. Since the day our eyes met. And for eternity." his answer gave me goosebumps, but my mouth works faster than my brain.

"But.. hundred years? It's a very long time. People said 'i love you for eternity' is for 50 years max, because we are human and that's the longest way we can be. But you and Mateo are immortal, you made a vow to love each others since hundred years ago and keep holding on to that promise? It's cool!" 

"I... hmm, we.." he corrected the phrase. "We.. i mean, me and Mateo, we are literally did everything to be with each other like this. If you and Beau can walk together hand by hand nowadays, it's all because the world changes. You are so damn lucky to born in this era. When you can be whoever you really are." the talks become more serious and i'm dipping to deep into Anthony who now put down the peeler and leaning his body to the chair and looks comfortable like he is about to tell the fairy tale to me.

"Me and Mateo, we fell in love since  our eyes met, in 1824." Anthony took a deep breath before he starts talking.

>>>> Spring, 1824 <<<<

(Narrator POV / Start here until the chapter ended, the plot is still on 1824)

"Mateo. Thank you for your service. My wife and children can sleep better at night, all because of your bravery." someone with dirty worn-out shirt talking to Mateo, the one who well-known as the best hunter in the country.

Yes, back then, people was really familiar with vampires. The bad ones, the vampires who hunting human and sucking human's blood dry. And Mateo is the leader of the vampire hunters. 

"MORTALS"

That's the name that made all people in the country can close their eyes tightly every night. Mateo and his 42 friends and relatives. The original members are about 119 men, but the rest of them are dead because of the vampires. That's why they practice harder and merciless when it came to vampires.
