The King's Obsession

C276 - Black sheep- Part 3

"I don't think it's a good idea," Lisa responded to Jungkook's suggestion on going to visit her grandparents at this hour of the night. They had appeared to be far from wanting a vampire in the village, much less in their house. They wouldn't take it too kindly, and Lisa was worried for herself also because she didn't know what she was or what they were.      

"Nothing will happen. I won't let them put you in the coffin box again," Jungkook promised her.      

The thought itself terrified her. In her dream, her grandfather said he would be taking care of the situation and her, sleeping in the coffin was the last thing that had crossed her mind. A shiver ran down her spine by thinking she once slept in here.      

Lisa could only decipher that maybe this was why her sister Momo didn't remember about their childhood together. How long had she slept in the coffin, locked and alone, leaving her with the dead? She gulped.      

"I am confused, Jungkook. Momo told me that a vampire killed our friend. The one we last visited when we were here, and the girl in my dream was the same girl," she said to Jungkook.      

Lisa knelt in front of the grave which didn't belong to her but the person's grave which her family had opened in her dream. Pulling out her handkerchief, she wiped the mud which was on the name. The name on the grave read 'In loving memory of Anne Jane. Beloved daughter and sister'.      

"Her name is not Jennine. Do you think it is possible for two people to share the same face?" questioned Lisa to Jungkook who stood behind her.      

"Possible. Most of the people have the same build with minor changes. To have the same features of those who exist or who have passed away. The probability is higher if it is in the same family," Jungkook answered her, "Your grandparents have the answers. It would only make it easy to go and ask them instead of spending our time in here."     

Lisa turned her head from where she was sitting, "But they hate vampires. And maybe me too. I am the black sheep in the family, possibly in their kind," she sighed. Thinking about going back to the coffin increased her anxiousness, and she shuddered. How could they put her there?     

Getting up, Lisa decided to walk with Jungkook to her grandparent's house. When they reached the house, Lisa wondered how her grandparents would react to them, who were standing in front of their porch in the middle of the night. As much as her grandparents looked like they wanted to get rid of her in her dream, in reality, they had always been kind to her. She bit her bottom lip to see Jungkook raise his hand and knock on the door.      

On the third knock, where the door didn't open, both Lisa and Jungkook shared looks with each other.      

"They must be in a deep sleep," said Lisa, rubbing the palms of her hands together as the night here was cold.     

"Rubbish. Older people sleep even less than a vampire. Either they don't want to invite us in or," Jungkook paused, placing his hand on the knob of the door and turning it around to open the lock. Lisa's eyes widened. "Have I mentioned before how much I enjoy stepping into houses and rooms."     

"You mean breaking into the house like a thief?" Lisa raised her eyebrows to receive a chuckle from Jungkook.      

"What a crude way to put it. We are only making sure your grandparents are doing alright. I am sure you wouldn't like any ill harm to befall upon them now, would you?" Jungkook whispered to Lisa while making their way inside the quiet and dark house. The fireplace looked like it had exhausted itself, and Lisa wondered if her grandparents were fast asleep.
