GUARDIAN FROM NEPTUNE : ZEAL

24

 VAER

THE MEETING AGAIN

The feeling that I was not alone in the house began to surround me again after I left the shower and had put on a loose dress in a dark tone and in the length of the knees.

I was barefoot and my hair was wet and without combing.

Then I passed through the bathroom door, walking in slow, robotic steps, as I looked intently toward my room. Soon I saw a black bird flying through the window of my living room and entering the house. It seemed agitated and ended up landing on the wood of the window. I kept watching him and within moments, it flew into the corridor and disappeared from it. I still was apprehensive and walked towards the hall, after I heard another noise coming in the direction of my bedroom.

Promptly I stopped at the door of it and opened it very carefully. When I looked toward my single bed, I saw a dark image, covering the entire length of my mattress.

I entered my room as I was stupefied with the scene. Enzo was lying on my bed, with his belly up, all stretched, his arms were above his head and his legs were so long and barely fit the mattress. So they were supported on the bed frame. As he crossed his feet on each other, the vampire was awake and stared at the ceiling, even though I had discovered him there.

"What a soft bed!"

He whispered.

"How did you find me here?"

I ignored his stupid praise.

"Did you think I would never find you on this huge planet?"

He asked looking at the roof and making himself as absent.

"I thought you would no longer come after me. My purpose was that."

"You thought wrong."

He said after sitting on the edge of the bed and looking at me with disappointment.

"Vaer, how had you the courage to run away from the planet Neptune that way? Your grandfather had already agreed with your coming here. It was not necessary for you to act that way." He paused, "As a fugitive."

"He agreed, but not within my conditions." I looked at him with annoyance. "I did not want a guardian behind me."

He raised his eyebrows, realizing that the word 'guardian' was referring directly to him.

"It has not advanced anything." raised his arms into the air. "I'm here anyway."

I looked down and felt like an idiot. My plan was starting to go wrong. It was not for Enzo to have found me there.

It was not!

At last, he gave me a quick glance and saw me in a shorter dress. My legs were always covered by my long princess-style dresses when I was in Neptune.

Immediately, his gaze stopped on my pale bare feet and at last the length of the skirt of my dress.

"What clothes are these?" frowned on my image. "Do you go out in the streets that way?"

I ended up holding the skirt of my dress and turned around myself.

"What's the problem?" Soon I faced him with irony. "That's just a dress! A little shorter compared to the dresses that I usually use in Neptune, but only that."

I ended up smiling to see the serious face of Enzo in my direction. He seemed to take seriously my clothes. And that model seemed not to please him at all.
