The next day, perfectly after Sunset, Glenn already stand by at Josh's Mansion and greets Josh with smile. Josh decide to wear a Hawaii T-shirt and short pants makes him more looking like tourists other than a Count. Even Glenn quite surprised to see Josh dressed like that, he even wear only jeans and black shirt only, makes him more cool than yesterday.
"So this is how a Count dressed for a night walk ? Do you gonna bring some servants or something, Your Honorable ?" He asked Josh with giggle while Josh just rolled his eyes and punch his hand hard, "aawww! What's that for !?" He barked at Josh with loud voice.
"For teasing me, of course.. I don't need servant just to go on a trip with you.. beside, what exactly that you're planning for tonight..?" Josh asked him curiously but instead of answering he just took Josh to his car and both of them go deeper into the night.
The night air feels warm and calm, nothing makes Josh even more like it to live here as a Human other than a Vampire. Glenn take Josh to the cliff that Josh saw for the first time when he arrived at Hawaii. A cliff that's said to be sacred to the Hawaii aboriginal that can show something amazing if the spirits of the mountain wish to show it. Glenn took Josh there on a whim with his car and without Josh even know, they already arrived there and Josh gets off from the car and walked into the grass and smiled.
"Glenn.. this is so.. amazing!" Josh said while looking around him and saw many fireflies flying around him, making Josh more like a Disney Princess that surrounded by animals.
"Wow! We came at the perfect time.. the fireflies often light up this cliff and that means it's a good sign that the Spirits of the mountain will grants us something amazing tonight!" Answers Glenn as he took a basket that's full of foods and drinks, he walked and lead the way for Josh to follow him to the best spot on the Cliff.
The spot called "Hands of Fireflies" and the grounds filled with dandelions also Fireflies that flying here and there, makes the night sky seems magical.
"Why you take me here, Glenn ?"Josh asked him when he sat on the trunk beside Josh.
"I wanted to show you my favorite spot before you go, Josh.. I know you love the night and the view of nature, so I thought bringing you here before a final goodbye is a good idea.. here, I also bring some foods and drinks.." He replied and Josh sat infront of him.
"You do care about me that much, Glenn ?" Josh asked him when he put his drink aside.
"I do, Josh.. I mean.. the first time I met you at Church I know something good inside you is calling me.. I know that it's must be you in the beginning.." He said while looking at Josh serious.
"What's that supposed to mean ?" Josh asked didn't have any idea with what he said.
Glenn looked surprised when Josh asked that, Glenn decide to not look at Josh's face but he can't even do that because Josh's charisma shining bright from the night.
"Who are you, Josh ?" Instead of answering the question, Glenn asked Josh another Question.
🧛🏻♂️🌹🩸
As if Josh got strike by thunder, he just silence and sit without even blink or breathe. As if he's literally dead right now. He shook his head and looked at Glenn with worried face, and sighed slowly.
"I'm a Count.. and you know that, why you ask that again, Glenn ?" Josh replied tried to answer it without seems hiding something, but he can't hide his true identity.
"Don't lie to me, Josh.. who are you ?" Said Glenn more serious this time.
Josh sighed and looks at Glenn more worried,
"Why does that seems important to you, Glenn ?"
"Please just tell me, please just tell me the truth"
Josh looks into the night sky and seems more worried than ever, he can't think clearly or decide neither can he tell the truth about him to Glenn or decide to hide it from him. The more he stared the night sky, the more his mind get lost in thoughts that's being brought by the questions from Glenn.
"Josh ? Are you okay ?" With his words, makes Josh come back to reality and shook his head and look at Glenn infront of him that seems curious and worried at the same time.
Whether he will tell Glenn now or later, the truth will bring him to the surface in the end. There's nothing that can hold him to hide his identity if the time itself that wish him to reveal the identity of him as Vampire Count of Transylvania. Nothing can hold him to not being busted when he saw himself into a mirror without a reflection.
🧛🏻♂️🌹🩸
Not long after some mind fighting, Josh decide to reveal himself to Glenn, since he will move to Galway soon so there will be no problem with that. Not just that, he even will not gonna comeback to Hawaii for hundreds of year from now and when he returned, Glenn will already be dead and only his grave that he can saw, so the best thing he can do is to tell the truth before he felt disappointed of himself by not revealing the truth.
"Alright, before I answer that.. promise me that you will forget about what I say and what you know and act usual after this, ok ?"
Glenn nodded and agreed by smiling. After one last look the night sky, Josh decide to tell him the truth.
"Please before you know this, I'm not as you think, I'm not like everyone ever told about me, but let me tell you this.. I'm not a human.. I believe you already guess that.. I'm the creature of the night, I'm the King of Darkness.. I'm what they call as a blood drinker or blood sucker, I'm a Vampire.. my real name is Josh Hutcherson, Count of Transylvania, last leader of all Vampire clan at Transylvania and entire Europe"
