Valkyrie - The Vampire Princess

CHAPTER 14

CHAPTER 14

I saw Eros in the reading room. It was an ample room with several tables and chairs for the pupils to set themselves down. He was seated at one of the tables and he seemed to be concentrating on his reading. Then I approached him suddenly.

"Why have you lied to me?" I asked with my eyes over him and my voice booming into his ears.

"Have I told you a lie?" His attitude was arrogant and automatically he frowned at me and after this he bit his lips.

"You don't live at that address! I went there and asked every dweller about you and they answered there has never been an Eros living here. "

"I think it is better you don't know where I really live..."

His gaze became more distant and intriguing. That made me unsafe and more attracted to that involving mystery at the same time. That is, I had an urge to uncover it.

His voice faded into silence and after he interrupted it with his tone of voice. "Why were you looking for me?"

I gazed to his face.

"I just wanted to return this to you," I said and put his books onto the table. The noise seemed to irritate his ears. He made grimaces and remained wordless. "You forgot them in the classroom yesterday."

So he said something. "You didn't need to go after me yesterday."

"I needed to!" My fury grew within me. I felt will to sob. But I needed to show firmness before him. "So I knew you lied to me."

"Do you consider this a lie?" He crossed his arms over his chest and gazed on my face.

"What would you suggest it is then?" I stood, asking stubbornly.

"I suggest this is a misunderstanding."

"It is a misunderstanding..." I swung my head. "Your neighbors don't know they have a neighbor whose name is Eros." I looked at his face and exclaimed. "And you call this a misunderstanding?" All my fury became visible in my voice intonation.

"I've never seen you so furious before." His icy eyes searched mine. My countenance became red in anger.

"I detest lies!" I said facing him too. "Even more when they come from my friends."

Then I lowered my head, avoiding gazing at him again. Eros looked to comprehend my disappointment.

"If I disappointed you, I beg your pardon!"

"A lie doesn't become undone with a pardon," I said back. I turned my back to him and went out of the reading room without glancing back. I decided not to come back and tell him the other barbarities that crossed my mind.

Eros with his lie had destroyed a beautiful sentiment that was growing within me.

I decided I wouldn't stay at school to attend day classes. All I desired ardently at that moment wasn't to see him anymore all day. I was dominated by rage.

'Distance from him' would be the best remedy against what I was feeling at that moment.
