She's Alice Luna

Chapter 22- The Revelation

She pulled my grandfather's sweater and dragged him near to her. "Do you actually think that you could leave the other world just like that?" She then raised the knife closer to my grandpa's neck which made me hysterical . "You better be kidding me."

"No!"

I can see in her eyes her deep sorrow even she tried to be strong, "Now, you can see in your own eyes how I will kill your grandpa mercilessly. Taking out his life like what you did to Lux. You. With your capable filthy hands. Your blood made me into a pure blooded vampire and killing the only person that's left in my side, you murderer! How could you do that to me?" she laughs wickedly "But thanks to you, I can now take revenge to my vengeful and lunatic pure blood father who's now enjoying his life after. I already gained enough but before I could kill him, let me avenge Lux by killing your most precious one."

"Just kill me then. Kill me now and let her be." My grandpa said without even looking at me.

She shakes his head, "Oh, before I'm taking his life, let us hear what he wanted to say about you. Tell her." She nags him. "Tell her what you have in mind!" She looks at me insanely.

"It's about her mother. You need to say it at least before you die, right?"

"Mother...? "

"Your mother... is in the other world after she gave you to me."

"What?"

"I made a promise that I'll protect you and take care of you as my real granddaughter no matter what. But after she came into that world, one of my witch friend reported to me that she died due to too much loss of blood." He had a hard time breathing as he squeezing his chest. "I knew she protected you, she kept you hidden. Everyone in that world believes that she didn't gave birth and just used her magic to hide her blood. That is why that man drained her blood to death believing he could be pure blooded vampire someday."

My heart can't stop from aching. My mother has protected me ever since I was young. Does this means that she is that woman I kept seeing since I was a child?

"I'm sorry for not able to say this to you for I thought that I could protect you on my own. She has given me hope to be the father of her own child. But I was old back then so I thought that I could just be a grandfather to you."

"If she was your best friend, why are you so old?"

"A Golden Blood will remain young in her whole life and will aged the moment she gave birth to her successor. Didn't you know that? She gave birth to you when she was a hundred years old." She released my grandpa then walks closer to me.

"Apparently, she's still alive. Living in despair in a small dungeon where the emperor held her imprisoned, thinking that someday her daughter might come running to save her."

"She's been doing her best to live just to watch over you accepting your power before she dies." I suddenly remembered what Hector said to me.

I looked at her with confuse in my eyes, "How do you know all of this?"

"Because I'm her sister."

"What?"

"Funny isn't it? I am her older sister but I don't have that kind of power. Nevertheless, it's fine, it only means that, I am not cursed." She said while insulting me, of course. "Maybe, I will not kill your grandpa if you will go with me back into the Lucif Academy where your mother is waiting for you."

Will I'll be coming back again not for my friends but for my mother? My mother who has given me this kind of ability. The mother who has given birth to someone who I thought was just an ordinary girl. All my life I never thought that she could be someone who is cursed and that curse was passed to me. I can't distinguish what could be the right emotion that I should be feeling right now. All I know that because of her, I became a murderer.

Before I could answer, a sharp wooden pierce on her heart. She turned pale making her lose consciousness and fell on my legs.

"You need to go now! Stay away from this house and never come back!"

"I won't grandpa, she will kill you!"

"She can't kill me unless that wooden knife will pull on her body. But before that happens you need to run away."

"Is this why you don't want me to be friends with Shin? Because I am cursed?"

He shook his head, "You are not cursed. You are special. I just don't want you to get hurt the moment he'll learn that you are a golden blood. From the moment I saw you with him, I know that you have feelings for him and that makes me feel that I should tell you that a vampire and a golden blood can never be together." He stops as he look at me in the eyes. "But I was scared that you may have the same fate as your mother's. This is why I kept it with you and hide you from them. But your fate is uncontrollable. And this happened, this is my fault for not doing my best."

"This is not your fault, grandpa. This is her fault."

"It's not her fault. You should never blame your mother."

"But who else?! She's the one who gave me this. She is to blame."

He slapped me. "You don't know how hard is for her to protect everyone she loves. Even it's hard for her to leave you alone, she did it for your sake! You didn't know everything. So better watch your words. Now, runaway from here before she wakes up."

"I won't run away if you're not with me."

"Don't be stubborn. I know I'll be forever in your heart and you will forever in mine." He almost cry but he's doing his best not to. "For now, I can't go with you. I'm just a burden to you if I do that." I can't find a word to say when he's begging me this way. "I will be staying here waiting for my wiccans to come and help me. For now, you need to go. Now!" He pushes me away.

I cried hard while looking at him. "Be careful and please never get angry at your mother who's been doing her best to protect you. She's the best woman I've ever known and my heart will always be hers. I hope what she's saying is true that your mother is still alive. But never trust anyone in that world. They are dangerous."

I turned away crying. I don't know why but the thought of leaving him again makes me hurt. I don't want to go alone anymore.

"My child..." he whispered. "That potion that I gave to you is the potion your mother made from her heart. It was to protect you from any harm. Now, please go. She will wake up soon as she no longer a dhampir. I can put a cast on her while the wiccans still not coming."

I shook my head many times but all he'd been doing is pushing me away when I was eager to stay by his side. He used his spells to dragged me out of the house and close the door. This is the first time he used his magic against me and the second time that I saw him doing it. It was cold outside as I tried to knock hard on the door, but he won't open. I screamed as I really wanted to stay with him but it's no use. I took a step backward realizing that he'd done his best to protect me so I needed to do my part to stay away from danger.

Walking into the woods feeling lost. I don't know what to do. I've been wondering what should the best thing to do. I never knew that there would come a time to meet her so I'm struggling with words and decisions.

Part of me, curious of how she'd looked like. My grandpa always says that we have so many the same features. I stopped at the river looking at the transparent water. I bended my knees to see it clear. My face looks tired, as my tears already dispersed but I can still see the trace on it. I have so many things to say to her, but am I ready?

I guess I'm not. I can't face her with all the hatred I felt. I am not yet ready. I pulled my hair to the left side of my neck and saw that my birthmark is reddish again. I felt the pain itching and burning as hell. I tried to touch it and yell as it hurt. I laid down and breathe out trying to gasp the situation and the fact that my life is unordinary and unimaginable. I can see the sky's laughing at me now as it continues to release such a beautiful view inadequate to what I felt.

I glanced at my left side only to notice a sharp stone that's been glued to a wood. I pulled myself, went there and get it. I stared at shining stone as if someone just made it like this. As I keep my eyes on it, I felt the urge of wanting to just kill myself. To end the greediness of the dhampirs who wants my blood, and to stop this curse on passing to generations. This would be the best thing to do for the sake of everyone.

As I move it closer to my wrist and squeeze, a bunch of bats suddenly appeared rushing to my side. Due to shock, the sharp stone fell into the river as I covered myself. It lasted for a minute before it's gone.

"Isn't it amazing that you're about to commit suicide but were afraid to die?"

My vision went to someone who's talking behind me. A pale looking young man who had a bat on the left side of his shoulder. He wore all black like a knight protecting his king. I remember him stopping me from going to Luciel when he was about to fight with the man who turned pure-blood. What is he doing here in the human world?

A shadow came behind him and then I saw someone's eyes glaring with hostility. My heart sank in dark pit of mud as he walking closer to mine.

"Luciel."
