Crimson Eyes

Chapter 4

"This world is not as bad as I imagined, Lev." Von said while they're walking their way through the forest.

Lev never imagined visiting another world. If not because of one thing which he still find very strange, he would never visit this world.

"Shut up, Von. We're just wasting our time here." He rolled his eyes as they continue walking. This is their third day in this world and Lev has never been able to believe that this is the place where he can find the person that is meant for him.

"I don't know why you're still hoping, brother. I should be the one who is feeling that way but I just refuse to believe what the Naiad showed us." Lev shook his head.

In hundreds of years in the vampire world, a vampire's cannot be mated with a human. That's why Lev still couldn't believe what the Naiad had shown them.

As a man who hardly believes in love, the Naiad made it even harder for him to believe in the magic of love.

Being one of the regium gave him the chance to see if he is born mated or not.

How can a vampire be mated to a human? A human that never existed in the vampire world.

"C'mon, Levan. Stop that hopelessness. There's nothing wrong if we try to find her." Von, his brother tapped his shoulder. "Besides, you're the only one in our family that has a confirmed mate. The Naiad only tells us about our mates after thirty years."

"How am I supposed to be happy about that, Von? SHE IS A HUMAN." He said with authority in his voice.

"You know that our father needs to have a mated child, you're the only one who can do that, Levan." Von sat on the waiting shed as they wait for a bus to come. "Our kingdom will be much stronger if we can find your mate. Plus, I know you've been wanting to have a child." Von chuckled.

His brother stood up and waved his hand to the bus that is coming. Since it's Levan's first time visiting the human world, he knows no sh-t about anything.

'I don't even know what's this huge thing we're about to enter.'

"Hop in, Levan."

They both got in and the moment they entered the bus, Levan felt a strange feeling. His heart started to hurt.

"Ang sakit, Von." He said while he's touching his chest.

The pain got worse, he can't even breathe properly. He started to feel a hot and burning sensation in his insides. He felt his crimson eyes and fangs. He tried to hide his face so no one will notice him.

He wants to see the surrounding hoping that he will see what's causing him to feel a strange pain but he chose not to. The pain and the burning sensation became more intense. He doesn't know what to do. It just keeps getting worse.

Suddenly, he felt very thirsty. The thirst for blood which makes his throat dry. He still feels his crimson eyes and fangs. It's like he's not been drinking blood for years. He's really thirsty for a blood that he knows that only belongs to someone.

"It's her."

Umakyat kaagad si Calistine sa kanyang kwarto pagkatapos niyang maglinis. Naligo siya at inumpisahan ng muli ang kanyang mga proyekto. Retouch na lamang kasi ay tapos na siya sa lahat.

"Isa nalang." Aniya habang nakatingin sa proyektong matagal na niyang ginagawa.

Mas binigyang pansin niya ito kaya naman ilang oras lang ay natapos na niya ito.

"Soon to be an international and famous graphic artist, Calistine Ianthee Vilsena." Nakangiti habang pinagmamasdan niya ang kanyang gawa matapos niya itong i-submit.

Maghihintay na lamang siya ng ilang linggo para sa resulta. Hindi na siya makapaghintay. Gusto niya na agad na malaman ang resulta.

Napag-isipan na rin matulog ni Calistine. Pagod siya sa mahabang araw niya. Bukas ay panibagong araw na naman para lumaban.

Ilang minuto pa ay nakaramdam na siya ng pagkaantok.

Lev knows what he felt kaya naman nandito na siya ngayon sa loob ng silid ng babaeng nagparamdam sa kanya ng labis na pagkauhaw. Mabuti naman ay nawala na ang sakit kaniyang naramdaman no'ng una sila magkasama iisang lugar.

Pinagmamasdan niya ngayon ang bulto ng isang napakagandang babae na mukhang pagod na pagod sa himbing ng pagkakatulog.

Hindi niya parin mapigilan ang pagningas ng kanyang mata at ang paglabas ng kanyang mga pangil. Sobrang uhaw ang ipinapadama sa kanya ng dalaga.

Umupo siya sa tabi nito at marahan niyang hinaplos ang buhok nito. Mas lalo lamang siyang nauhaw sa kanyang ginawa. Paano pa kaya kung aamuyin niya pa ang dalaga?

Inamoy niya ang dulo ng buhok nito at mas nagningas ang kanyang mga pulang mata. Lumabas ang kanyang pangil at nakaramdam siya ng labis na pagkauhaw kasabay ng pag-init ng kanyang katawan.

Her scent is enough for him to make his heart throb or maybe not just his heart. He felt his thing underneath his black pants awakened.

'this can't be happening.'

Her room was really dark but her skin is glowing. She is white and her hair is making Levan lose in his senses.

Bago pa siya makagawa ng ibang bagay, itinuon niya ang kanyang pansin sa study desk ng dalaga. Tumingin siya sa mga litrato na nakadikit sa dingding sa taas ng lamesa.

"She so cute." Mahina at nakangiting saad niya.

Dumako ang kanyang paningin sa pangalan na nakadikit.

"Calistine Ianthee." Bulalas niya ng may ngiti sa labi.

Sinulyapan niya ang dalaga na masarap ang tulog. Gumalaw pa ito at tumagilid kaya naman halos makita na ang singit nito dahil nakamaikli lamang itong pantulog.

'Gosh, dress up properly, woman.'

Nilapitan niya ito at dahan-dahang inayos ang lilac na night dress. Naramdaman na naman niya ang paggising ng kanyang kalalakihan.

Kung maaari lamang ay dalhin niya ito ngayon din sa kanilang mundo ay ginawa niya na.

"Why do you sleep so beautifully, My Calistine?" Hindi na niya napigilang haplusin ang mukha nito. "You're making me wanna kiss you." Aniya at hinawakan ang labi ng dalaga.

'Calistine, you're such a deep sleeper.'

Tumungo siya at akmang hahalikan niya ang mapulang labi ng dalaga nang biglang magmulat ang mga nito. Nakatinginan sila at halos matutula siya ngunit mabilis din siyang nakakilos at lumabas sa silid ng babae.

Hindi niya mawari kung bakit siya nakaramdam ng pagkahiya. Siguro ay dahil tao ang nakalaan para sa kanya at hindi ito sanay na makakita ng nagpupulang mga mata.

Naalala niyang mula ang amoy ng buhok ng dalaga at hindi niya alam kung hanggang kailangan niya mapipigilan na hindi angkinin ang mapupulang labi ng dalaga.

'I wanna make you mine, Calistine.
