심재윤 :: Secrets in the Shadows

Final : Episode 7

Jake's POV

I hissed in pain as she continued to suck my blood. I slowly slide down to seat at the floor where my back is still resting on the wall. Her fangs started to get sharper and to be honest, she wasn't still fully transformed a vampire even after the awakening. I know that her heart wasn't still fully cold yet but slowly, she'll be turning cold hearted and that will erase all of her memories as a human. 

We were at the stock room on the east tower. We teleported here as soon as my sister were in thirst. Her thirst were more often now so I assumed that she'll be a complete vampire soon enough. And again, her tears poured down to my shoulders. She stopped sucking and I saw her face that were in tears. She was kneeling in front of me and her hands were now on her thighs. 

"What's the matter, my love? I gave you my blood as you desired." I said as I reached for her cheeks and wipe off the tears. She looked at me, still have tears in her eyes and then she shook her head. "You're... going to announce our engagement, right?" she asked and I gulped. I didn't tell her that I'm announcing it today. But...

"How did you know? I never told you about that plan." I said then she wiped her own tears and told the truth. "I can see the future. That's my ability, instead of having the elemental. I was the weakest in our family, wasn't I?" my lips parted and didn't know what to say to her words. I was rare for us to have that kind of ability according to our parents but she got that ability easily by just waking into her vampire form.

All I heard inside the castle when I was little was that my sister will live like a vampire with no powers. A Pureblood that have now elemental or special ability so how? I couldn't believe it! Mom wished to have that ability all of her life and she just claimed that power when she marry dad. "Why me, Jake? Why am I the one you choose to marry? Why are we doing this incest thing?" she asked me. 

It was a traditional way of us royalties that we marry our siblings so that our royal blood could stay without any mixture. "We are meant to be in the first place, love. Please, at least accept that fact. Our family want this, our mother want this." I said with a soft voice and tuck a strand of hair behind her ears. I then took her hand, where her sealed ring was located. It couldn't be removed as they and the history already said it. Unless... she'll die but I don't want that to happen. I was already thinking a way to hide this when we were getting married. But I already doubt that they'll find this out eventually. 

"But... I can't... I love somebody else."

"Park Sunghoon, right? Our family's arch nemesis." I confessed with a bitter voice. Her lips parted a bit. "He's a natural pureblood with a hybrid blood mixed. It's their family tradition to marry their enemy." the hand was resting my palm was taken by her and then she stood up, with her fists clenching.

Her red eyes were gazing towards me and I already saw hatred on it so I stood up, gazing back at her. "That's a lie," she said, proving that I've told her the wrong information. "Sunghoon would never do that to me." I scoffed at her statement before I looked back at her. "You're saying that your own brother was lying to you?" I fired back. I she want a war of words, then I'll go ahead and fight.

"I was living with them and they're nothing but a nice!"

"Nice, you say? You're just living with them for 2 months. They're just being nice to you because you're an enemy." 

I saw her bit her lower lip and she was about scream at me again for being so pissed at me.

"You're making it up, Jake. I'm done with it." she said as she was about to walk away but I took some step and then grabbed her arm. "Let. Go." she warned but I refused to. She started to get herself out of my grip but I was stronger. "Their family has a group of assassin. They killed our parents that's why we are the only ones left! His mom's younger brother wiped out our clan!" 

"STOP!" she screamed and her voice echoed at the empty east tower. "Enough..."

"I won't listen to any bullshit words your mouth will let out." she told as if she was giving me a warning. 

"I was here for you now! You're replacing me with that scumbag who killed our parents?!"

"I AM AND I DON'T REGRET MY DECISION!" she said with a proud yet annoying tone.

I scoffed and looked to the side and bit my lower lip. I am starting to get pissed in this bullshit. I looked back at her, smirking. "Then I will just have to remind you again about the past." I said and pulled her to me and let our lips crash together. As our lips crash, I gave her the harsh flashback that I've been through all off my life. Even our mother, dying and sacrificing her own life for us. 

My past was harsh that I didn't even want to remember my parents and grandpa getting killed in front of me. After that flashback I pulled out from the kiss and remove my grip from her arms, letting her fall on the wooden floor. "You see that? You heard our mother's voice and her will. I hope you reconsider it. She died for you, for us! And now you're throwing her words away just so you could marry our arch nemesis? How bullshit and trash it was to hear that. What will people think to us if they found out that you were married with that stupid Park?" I said harshly and then started to walk towards the old looking door. 

She was already sobbing and I could hear her tears dripping and dropping on the wooden floor. "'Don't regret' you say? Then I'll have that Park banished in this world by beheading him." 

"Don't!"

I stopped in front of the door, already holding the handle. "You have only given two choice, love. It's either marry me or you can kiss your prince charming goodbye!" I opened the door and slammed it once that I got out. I snapped my fingers just so all of her things will be transferred to east tower, even her bed, vanity and closet. The two window of the tower were covered with barrier created by magic. She'll never got the chance to sneak out when everyone's asleep. I sighed heavily and went down to the spiral stairs. And as I go down, I could hear her sobs.
