Crave

Robin's POV

"Fancy seeing you here, my beautiful," nakuha pang ngumiti ng bampira sa akin.

Bigla ay nais ko ng gilitan siya ng leeg. Maybe it is my conscience driving me crazy, or maybe I'm just mad?

"Why are you here killing my people?" madilim ang tingin na binibigay niya sa akin.

I remained calm with no expression seen on my face. Hindi ako sumagot sa kanya at tumingin lang.

Dumapo ang tingin niya sa dumudugo kong sugat. Tila nahihirapan siyang pigilan ang kanyang sarili.

His red eyes glowed, making him too dangerous to look like.

"Boss..." tawag ng bampirang lagi niyang kasama. Tila pinipigilan niya ang hari.

The vampire took shallow deep breaths before his red eyes stopped glowing. I eventually realized what was happening so I surrounded my wound with water to stop it from bleeding.

"Leave us," hindi siya tumingin sa mga kasama niya pero nakuha nila ang punto ng bampira.

Isa-isang nawala ang mga ito kaya kami naiwan sa labas ng palasyo kung nasaan ang matataas na pader.

Sobrang dilim ng paligid at tanging tinig lamang ng mga ibon ang naririnig ko kasabay ng tunog ng paghinga niya.

Nakatingin pa rin ako sa kanya ng gumawa siya ng maliit na hakbang tungo sa akin. He stopped when our bodies were just inches away from each other.

"Rhiannon, what are you doing to me?" his face was confused like he didn't know what was happening to him.

"Why do you know my name?" imbis na sagutin ang tanong niya ay tinanong ko siya.

"You are known everywhere in Wistervale... the cold princess from Auroravale," sagot niya.

I was still clutching my sword, but my body seemed to relax even if I knew that he might harm me anytime.

"I have never craved for blood like the way I craved for yours... years of existence and I have never been so thirsty like this..." mariin ang tingin niya sa akin.

His eyes... I hated it. It was not the color of the ocean. It was too red, like blood.

"Hmm?" tanging nasabi ko.

Talking. Too much talking.

When he held my arm, close to my collarbone, my sword automatically disappeared. His slender finger was touching my neck, as if he wanted to ease his thirst by just touching it.

"Who are you, Enchantress of Waters?" naging bulong ang tanong niya.

His hand was now in my jaw, making me tilt my head to the side. "You guess," sagot ko sa kanya.

"My mate?"

I sarcastically smile. "Fucking dream of yours you fucking asshole."

"Profanities, my beautiful," he was still serious. I frowned when he touched my cheeks. "You don't go around killing my people, Robin, if you don't want me to do the same to your people," his voice was gentle but I could sense his warning and threat.

What he said made me want to just stab his body with my sword. "Don't threaten me," I said in my gritted teeth. "You know I won't hesitate to kill all of you."

His fingers brushed my lips. "Do not anger me, Rhiannon."

"You have already killed a lot of my vampires," aniya. "Would it hurt if I kill some of yours?"
