Valkyrie - The Vampire Princess

Chapter 47

Chapter 47

Hours later, I wanted everyone to fall asleep.

From the time when I wanted to be certain that I would be safe to put my plan into practice. This night couldn't pass without me doing what I had to do.

Soon I put on the same dress that I had brought with me from Earth. Valeska had left it in the corner of my bedroom.

Ahead I left my bedroom and closed the door behind me. I walked toward the corridor in pure silence, as I was trying not to make any noise and wake up someone in the castle.

I stopped at Eros' bedroom door.

At that moment, I decided to open it and go in. I wanted to see him one last time, even if he was asleep. I looked up at the ceiling and he was there, sleeping with his head down like a helpless being. I looked at him for quite a few minutes. I said goodbye to him in my mind. I was going away from him against my own will. At much cost, I walked back to the hallway and closed his bedroom door with my bleeding heart.

I moved on...

At that moment I entered my father's bedroom and I redoubled the care I had when I entered Eros' room. I walked to the bed where my father had been asleep for days. His tummy up and his hands crossed on his chest, like a manner of defense.

I looked at his face for a moment. I had found him and by my own force I would separate him from me. I thought that my mother would need me more. She was alone in the world and my father had Bizak and Eros by his side.

My anger for not being able to become human again, had caused me to make that decision. It would be impossible to live in that place next to Eros, and I would never have his love. I would always look at him and wish to be human. It would be the worst torment of my life. Keeping away from him would be the best thing to do, since the love I felt for him had cost the life of Valeska.

With all my heart I touched my lips lightly on my father's forehead as I was trying not to wake him.

After that I left his bedroom with more haste than when I entered it.
