Coveted Blood [BL]

1.1 WERSBEN HOUSEHOLD

"Can't this day pass faster. Im tired..."

Cress sit in his bed with a tray of food in front of him. The maid leaves almost immediately after given him the tray. It was like they're afraid to be around him any longer. Do they thing he bring desease or something? Stupid fools

He sigh as the food did not make his stomach any eager. Maybe he didnt have a taste bud or something. But hey, it taste plain okay?

He wonders when his beloved sister will visit him again. Its been days since she last visited. Among all the people in his family, only his sister who is kind enough to spare him some attention. Doesn't matter if it genuine or not.

Cress pushed the food tray aside and get up from the bed. With bare feet, he walked to the balcony. As he stepped to the balcony, the coldness crept onto his spine. It is winter soon and this kind of coldness is normal.

The balcony facing to the center of the mansion. Where the fountain and gazebo is. He can see his parents, Mr. Wersben and Mrs. Wesbern down there wearing their winter coat. Isn't it still to early for that?

Not like he care either. They were never a good parental figure to him. They always talk to him with formalities and not a single hint of affection. If it wasn't for the sake of their reputation, maybe they had thrown him out of the house since he was a baby. Failure he is.

Then he heard knocks on his door. He just got the food. Why is the maid here again?

"Come in"

Whoever is outside the door might have some hesitation to enter. As it took a few second for the person to  enter. It is his sister. Cress' eyes enlighten. It's been so long since he saw his sister. Although it just been a few days. The loneliness might already affected his mind that everyday felt like a thousand years.

"Sister! You finally come. I've been waiting for so long.."

His sister, Theodora just smiled. Somehow it seem like a sad smile filled with nothing alike happiness. But Cress didn't care as long as she is here, everything is fine. It has always been like that. This cold and dark room has never been filled with laughter and chatter so often. He wasn't able to feel that all. He envies his other siblings and cousins who seemed to enjoy their life to the fullest.

"It's been few days, isn't it? I didn't have much time as there's too many things on my plate."

Is it true sister? Or are you just bluffing to cover up that you don't really want to meet me?

Whatever, Cress bought the lie and eat it throughfully.

"Come here sister."

Cress patted the bed beside him. That day he talk about a lot of things with his sister who always to seem to hear more than talk. As if she wasn't interested after all. That didn't put out the lihht in Cress' eyes. He talked more and asked more to get respond from his sister.

A few day later

Cress heard that his parents is planning something for him. He didn't know what to expect. His parents never seem to pay attention to him that much to sort out some arrangement for him. Then this must be something really important as he was the only one who will be involved in whatever they are planning.

To be honest, he is very impatient for it. In his whole life, this is the first time where he got something arranged for him only. This whole time, they include him just for the sake of their precious reputation.

The maid given him a new set of clothes. All of them were pastel coloured. Unlike how everyone in this mansion always wear dark colored clothes that make this mansion gloomy and dark. He dislike their taste in attires. So lame.

Despite all of that, Cress is waiting patiently for the 27th november to come. He was told that someone will come over here. And that person wants to meet Cress personally. Like could you believe that? Someone who actually want to meet him who is nobody important in this household?

For the few days later, Cress do everything the same. He eats, drinks and sleep as usual but more eager for the day to past. Soon he found himself standing infront the mirror. Looking at himself in his new attires.  The dark colored clothes make his pale skin even more noticeable but still elegant.

He takes a deep breath before slowly walk to the door and down the stairs, to the living room where the guest is in. There he saw a guy, with elegant clothes like noble.

His yellow eyes were sharp. His black hair fall down past his shoulder. He is... very handsome to say. No, it is almost illegal to be this handsome!

Cress bow down as a sign of respect and salute. Still to keep his noble manner in check or else his parents hair will fall down as hard as rain. They will be bald if he decided to be his true self.

The man watched him intently. Looking like a predator stalking his prey. Cress felt nervous. This is the first time he ever got someone who want to meet him in the first place. He is afraid to mess this up.

But what does this man want from him after all?

Cress sit there in silence as his parents start their "formal" discussion with that man. He stare at the man captivating beauty that he didn't even understand what they all were talking about anymore. The voice were downed in the background as he stay in his trance.

His heart were thumping loudly in his chest that he afraid they could hear it. The man however, were smirking as he saw the dreamy look that Cress gave him. He know damn well that his plan is working out so well.
