Valkyrie - The Vampire Princess

CHAPTER 10

CHAPTER 10

The next day, Eros came to school and his left hand was swathed with a bandage. That soon attracted my attention to him, due to the contrast of his dark clothes and that white bandage on his hand. It was inevitable that I would notice him. I was troubled about him and ran into the gangway, trying to talk to him before we entered into our classroom.

"What happened?" It was the first thing I said instead of saying 'Hi'.

He stared at me. "A little accident," he said in a weak voice and looked down at his arm.

"Are you wounded?" I insisted, shaking my head suavely and after that I controlled my expression. Things made no logic next to me.

His voice persisted. "This is a burn."

"How did this happen?" In a serene voice I asked remembering the owl last night, when Douglas threw a lit torch at it.

My thoughts became confused with the luau scenes and I was not able to pay attention to what was happening around me anymore.

"I was frying a steak," Eros answered and I could come back to my normal state as I listened to his voice again, that is, to reality.

"Do you cook?"

"I have to," he answered almost smiling at me. His voice was low and careful. Soon he gazed down.

"Do you live alone?" I turned slowly to face him as I was surprised again. I imagined he lived with his parents.

"Yes, I do." Eros gazed away.

"You need to take more care," Even so I continued troubled about him. I didn't want to see him wounded any more.

"This was nothing. I'll be better soon." His voice sounded carefree. I was more worried about his state than himself.

"I was waiting for you yesterday." I changed the subject almost immediately, my cheeks turning red.

Eros glanced up over my face. "Sorry, but I couldn't be there." He bit his under lip.

So I continued saying. "I think it was good that you didn't go. Douglas threw a flaming torch against an owl that appeared there."

"Why did he do that?" he ruffled his brow in my direction. He met my gaze for a second.

"I do not know. Maybe he had a bad feeling." My shoulders shook automatically.

"If I were there I would have stopped him." His voice showed anger because of the event.

"I tried doing this, but nothing worked. I confess that I was sorry for the bird."

"Are you starting to like owls?" His surprise was inevitable. He wiped his hand severely across his forehead as he remained listening to my soft voice.

"I am trying to get used to them." I smiled and kept talking then. "This is thanks to you who told me those things about them."

He smiled back and after that his countenance became serious.

"There are many things you need to know." He faced me and his eyes stayed focused on my face. "Just the right time has not come yet ..."

We faced each other for an endless moment, so I asked him. "What do I need to know?"

Yeah, I stared at his face with anger. Our conversations always had an incomprehensible air about them.

We stared at each other for a long moment. "Everything has its time ..." He said and walked quickly, leaving me behind. However, I remained puzzled due to his unfinished sentences.
