A Thousand Years 》

chapter 24

The surroundings were weird, old and antic as I first opened up my eyes and stood up straight under the sunny sky

I could see a few people walking around, going about their normal day, I could see their exceptionally white skin and their red eyes, they were vampires, a bunch of them

"Rose!" I heard Anthony's voice call

I turned to face the origin of the sound and there he stood, Anthony with a furious expression on his face, his hands clutched into a fist

"I do not love you Anthony, I'm sorry.." a girl mumbled

I turned to face her this time, she had a doll like face, milky white skin but it lively, she really was a human, her brown, curly hair fell upto her waist and she was the definition of pretty and aesthetic, any straight man was bound to fall for her

"He is dangerous, he will harm you, only I can keep you safe" Anthony argued, slowly approaching her

Rose backed away and let out a shaky breath, I could see that she was scared as she tried her best to not meet Anthony in the eye, and I immediately knew why

"You, can only hypnotize me, that's what you want me to believe Anthony" Rose replied in a soft voice before she walked away

I noticed how Anthony stared at her retreating back, he seemed somewhat less angry than he was hurt, he genuinely seemed to love her

I was about to follow Rose when the surroundings began to get blurry and my head ached as I held it tight in my palms, what on earth was happening?

Two minutes I found myself at a completely different scene, it was the beginning path of a forest and I was standing behind a tree

I could see rose's back facing me, she was all wet and shivery, all my attention was on her until I heard someone speak up

"Humans and vampires, are not meant to be"

It was a man who seemed to be in his early thirties, he stared down at her with his bloody eyes boring holes into her, he was a vampire, an evil one at that

"I..I will turn into one, I promise" Rose whispered through her shivery lips

"You'd be nothing but a disgrace to us, this fragile body is worth nothing" He replied, pushing her quite a little hard

I saw Rose stumble upon a stone as she fell to the ground, scratching her elbow and it began to bleed, I gasped and shut my mouth close almost immediately

The man stared at her elbow hungrily and licked his lips, Rose was too busy trying to get the blood to stop and didn't notice the man pounce on her

I pressed my hands to my mouth, trying my very best to hold in my scream, there he was, drinking her blood mercilessly as she kept yelling, trying to push him away, but how could she?

A minute or two later she had already stopped moving, she was dead, she was gone and so was the man, he had walked away like it was nothing, like what he just did was not a crime, well for vampires, it actually wasn't

I wanted to go to her, to try and save her but before I could approach her, I heard another pair of footsteps and this time, it was arthit

He looked the same, it was all normal him except the blood stains on his mouth, had he just come from hunting?

His eyes widened in horror as he stared down at Rose, he immediately bent down beside her and took her in his arms but he knew that she was gone, it was obvious

And just like there wasn't enough audience, I heard someone approach the two, Anthony

Anthony halted in his steps at a distance as he stared at arthit holding Rose in his arms, the littke blood left in her flowing through her neck and arthit's mouth stained of blood

"You, killed her" Anthony stated

Arthit broke out from his thoughts and looked up at Anthony, his grip on Rose loosening and he immediately let her lat back on the ground, standing up hurriedly

"No! It's not.." Anthony didn't let him complete

"Pack your stuff and get out of my home, away from my people, now" Anthony ordered

Arthit stared at him wide eyed but Anthony had already began to walk towards him, he lifted up Rose in his arms and walked away, back into the village

I saw arthit fall down on a stone beside him, clutching onto his hands, I knew he hated himself at the moment for not being here earlier, for not being able to save her

I wanted to get close to him and assure him that it would be alright, to comfort him but it was dangerous, and just as I had thought that, I found my surroundings blurring again and in a few seconds my vision blinded

I purple you 💜
