Valkyrie - The Vampire Princess

CHAPTER 25

CHAPTER 25

Eros came back to the roof, where I was waiting for him in big anguish. I didn't know the right decision to make.

I could go away with him to Neptune and would leave my mother alone, or I could stay in Earth and I would lose a big chance to meet my father.

That was something I had waited for my entire life...

"Are you ready?" he asked and stared into my eyes again.

I didn't answer him, seeing that I was still disturbed.

Being prepared to go away with him was something I hadn't set in my mind. Both sides of the coin were rough to measure. My choice became very difficult.

Eros reached my hand. I remained still, sitting, frightened by his reaction, watching him with my cautious eyes....

Maybe it was the last time... maybe I wouldn't see him anymore.

"Come", he begged and his voice was soft. Then he came closer, opening his hand slowly.

I stood up and then lifted my hand in his direction.

He held my hand between his, pulled me to face him and hugged me tightly.

For the first time our embrace represented a lot in my life. I was sheltered by his body. All the bad feelings disappeared from inside my bosom.

Subsequently I was doing the right thing by going with him to finally see my father. Even being a monster, he was still my father.

Eros stared up at the sky at the same time as he was waiting for the right time for our departure.

Strong winds emerged around us. When I looked up at the gloomy sky, a "symbol of Neptune" arose in a dark blue color. We were dragged by some invisible force coming out of that symbol.

Eros and I were still embracing and then both of us disappeared into the night sky, with a few scattered stars.

The symbol went out of sight and everything came back to normal. The wind headed towards another route.

Eros was the connection of all that had happened to me.

Soon I would be in Neptune, beside my father...
