The Nightfall: He (Second Book)

Forth Nightfall: The Moon

... ... ...

A dream...

As the moon lights upon the view in river where the lady that he follows everywhere and everyday stays sited at the top of a rock. That amazes him as he keeps looking at her that makes his heart contented and happy. Though his heart wanted something more than just be by her side, still he became contented enough to see her closer and protects her with his life on the line.

"..." it called out that took his attention but for some reason he couldn't hear it enough so he asks back.

"What?"

"I order you to come here closer and I want you to help me of something." It answered but he didn't move a single step. "..." she called his name again but he still couldn't hear it even though their distance where not too far and to the extent that he had a werewolf blood.

"What–––" he was about to ask back when suddenly his ear heard a loud sting sound that hurts his head.

"..." she called him once again that makes him to stares back at her but his eyes starts to blur. His ears start to sting louder than earlier until it burst out into his head that blocks his sight until darkness folds in.

... ... ...

A light that comes from the sun awakes Carl Vincent and quickly as he opens his eyes pain comes rushing through his head. "Ahhh! Darn it! It hurts!" he madly answered.

"Then you should just wake up before the sun's up." He heard Jefferson stated as it closes the curtain windows. "And living the curtain opens even though you knew that the sun would come out in this direction still you live it open the whole night."

He sat down from his bed. "Come on! The sun won't burns me." He answered. "And besides, I didn't live it on purpose. I just wanted to see the moon clearer last night that's why I forgot to close it." He tries to explain.

Jefferson sighs. "But didn't you how dangerous the moon if it's in full? And you wouldn't know if you were already been bitten by its poisonous beauty." It seriously answered.

What Jefferson said is the truth because if the full moon shines upon the night sky the werewolves and the hybrids with a werewolf blood becomes stronger and powerful that they could killed them with a bite and the hybrids' bite is worse than the werewolves' bite the reason why the pure vampires try to avoid them since that their powers lessen at the full moon.

"I know," he answered. "Still I couldn't ignore the beauty it has and..." he breathed deeply and silently added to himself. The longing that I feel, the waiting and the wanting to search for this someone that I wanted to see for so long. It was the moon who guides me back to this person whom I still don't know.

"And what, Carl?" it asked when he fall into a deep thought.

"Nothing." When he suddenly feels a grip from his heart that makes him grabs to his chest.

"Hey! Are you alright?" it asked him worriedly.

He looks at him. "Yeah! I'm fine!" and takes a deep breath. "Anyway why are you here so early?" he suddenly asked to change the topic.

"Are you sure?" he nodded. "Alright, I'm here because uncle ask me to accompany you with your date with Lady Jessica." It answered that he already forgets.

"Oh, I already forgot about it!"

"Indeed! That is why I am here. To avoid you to run..."

He takes a deep breath. "He really wants me to obey from the councils command?"
