Lisa quietly entered Jennie's bedroom. To no one's surprise, she had changed out of the dress herself. She was snuggled into the blankets, with her back turned towards him. He wordlessly approached the foot of the bed and watched her sleeping expression. Her rosy lips were parted and her eyelashes were quite long.

"Sleep well, kitten," Lisa murmured.

Lisa hovered a hand over her forehead, as dark wisps shrouded his palm. He didn't want to do this, but he must. It was his promise to Kaline and Addison. He would make sure she had nothing but happy memories of her childhood.

The memory and cause of her parents' death were useless. She didn't need to remember it.

"When tomorrow comes, you will no longer feel sorrow," he muttered.

Darkness flickered in Lisa 's palms. This brought back memories of the past, when she held onto his pants dearly, hiding her face into them. Back then, he had done the same thing—wipe her unhappy memories away.

"No."

Lisa was startled when she grabbed his hand with her tiny ones. She was wide awake with large, angry eyes. Instantly, the wisp disappeared and his palm went back to normal.

"What are you doing wide awake, kitten?" Lisa the blankets higher up to her chin.

"What did you just do?" Jennie questioned as she scooted further away from him.

"Just a spell to help you sleep better, my sweet," Lisa said with ease. He smiled for her and fixed the hair away from her eyes.

"Don't touch me," she blurted out, moving into the center of the bed and far away from him.

Lisa's hand froze in midair. A dark glower crossed his sharp features before his smile widened. The tip of his fangs slightly protruded out. His eyes flashed red in a warning. He was furious with her words but had the patience to tolerate them.

"Are you upset by my help, kitten?" Lisa asked. He retracted his hands and kept it upon his lap.

Jennie was watching him like a wary animal before dashing into the forest for safety. She was terrified, her eyes shaking. She held tightly onto her blankets as if it was a safety shield that could keep her safe.

"I said I didn't want to forget," Jennie coldly responded.

Lisa was surprised. She finally knew how to advocate for herself? He expected her to stammer and her lips to wobble. Surprisingly, when it came to her beliefs, she voiced them well. At least, ignorant of him. He had heard how much she suddenly began to stammer near Asher.

"I only wanted to make you happy, Jennie."

Jennie shook her head. "You wanted to do it for your own benefit."

Lisa raised a brow. "Enlighten me, Jennie."

Jennie's grip tightened on her blanket. She was still lying in bed, for she had been paralyzed with fear.

Jennie was intrigued by his powers, but was not surprised. Vampires were strange creatures with unique differences that humans could barely understand. Perhaps that was why humans feared them. Vampires possessed things that humans could only fathom, but never have.

"If I forget about that nightmare, then you won't have to worry about me. I will be the same naive little puppet that you think I am," Jennie said in a tiny voice, like the rustle of leaves.
