How Vampires Love

Chapter III

          Secrets and memories of the past

    A week ago, while we were still in Transylvania, I received a letter from Ángel. In this letter he only wrote two names, the first was that of his brother Gerald, and the second was the name of Ambrosios, the greatest and most powerful of all vampires on earth. This letter made me understand that now the two of them were together and that Gerald was not the only one looking for us, much less the only one who knew the secret. "Explained August something anguished

    Once I knew this I was forced to return to London for reasons greater than my wishes, and at the same time pushed by my duty as a father I had to bring Gabrielle with me even against her will, since I understood that leaving her alone in that place was like leaving a piece of meat in the middle of a pack of wolves. However, the reason why Angel is with us today is because I want to once again take care of keeping Gabrielle safe.

"Now you trust the brother of your enemy August?" Valiant replied full of anger.

"No matter who he is, I trusted him more than myself," August alleged.

"You should think about it better, a while ago it was not exactly putting her safe what he was trying to" Valiant said mordantly.

"She's not five years old anymore, how could I have recognized her?" Angel exclaimed, with the voice somewhat altered.

Oh! Apparently your vampire instincts did not develop very well! Valiant muttered.

    At that moment Angel's face transformed, he looked furious, his eyes became clearer than the water, his fangs came out again, no doubt his intentions towards Valiant were not healthy at all, apparently he was not very tolerant and although as always Valiant remained calm, his eyes betrayed his expectant state.

"It would be good if we all stayed calm." Said August traying to lighten the atmosphere "The real reason why we are here is not to create a conflict between ourselves, if it were so I would have started it a long time ago," he kept saying. "We are here because I need your help to solve this situation and that we can continue living in peace.

"If you're finished, I'd like to go and rest." exclaimed Angel.

"I had planned you to share the room with Valiant, but under the circumstances you will stay in my room and I will stay with Leonard." August said somewhat distressed.

" I have no problems in him staying with me" Valiant said.

"But I do. Where is my room?" Angel asked mordantly.

"It is next to Gabrielle's, she will accompany you" affirmed August taking me by surprise.

"May Gahia accompany him?" I need to talk to you father!

"Then let's go to your room. Angel, come with us."

    After indicating Angel where his room was, August accompanied me to mine. I told him bluntly that I needed to know where he had hidden it, but he told me there was no time, that for the moment we had more important things to solve. However I felt angry, I wondered why he had waited so long to talk about what happened, maybe if he had told me before things would have been easier. But when I listened to his thoughts I realized that he was right, of having told me before, maybe today his loss would be greater. So I decided not to question him further about the problem for the moment and proceeded to tell him what had happened to me that night. I told him that despite my superhuman conditions I could not understand why I had felt so attracted to the sea, although I noticed a little uneasy he told me that he did not know the reason, that being different from other vampires could not compare my development with theirs, he also explained to me that although I conferred it on my supernatural condition, I still could not understand why my senses had not yet developed and that he was afraid it would continue that way for a long time. Even though I felt I was avoiding, I did not insist on the matter. Then he asked me to accompany him to Angel's room because he needed to talk to both of us, and I did.

     Angel was just coming out of the bathroom when we got to his room, and only one small towel covered the lower part of his body while with another he was drying his hair, and without noticing my presence he asked August if they would go to the beach that night. the treasure. By the sudden way August looked at me I could not help but relate things and realize that she was there, in the water, it really was not the sea, but she who was calling me. I felt the same as before, only this time my anxiety mixed with anger and now it was not my hair and my eyes the only thing that had changed in me, but for the first time my fangs floated, I felt that I was So much power came out that I fell on my knees to the ground, August approached me to help me up, but when he came into contact with my skin, neither he nor I could prevent me from entering his mind. For me it was something extraordinary, I could see everything that happened in just seconds; There he was, it was evident in his eyes the pleasure he felt when cutting my mother's neck, I suddenly felt a blow that separated me from August, however the feeling of pain was so strong that it did not allow me to differentiate between the reality of the now and what I had seen in his mind. When I got up he continued there, so, I took my father's sword from the wall and I went towards him in order to do the same thing he did to my mother, but he was too agile, when I threw the blow that went directly to his neck he lost himself in front of my eyes and I did not know where he was until the moment when the sword fell from my hand because of the pressure that exerted on my wrists, that's when I I realized that it was he who was standing behind me, and who was pressing me against himself so hard. Even so, I did not return to reality until the moment he whispered the words "my life for your life" in my ear and I finally felt relieved. I turned my head to look at him and I could see that it was not him, his eyes were different, I could see everything, I was only five years old, twenty-nine days had passed since we arrived at that place, his wounds did not heal because of the silver that contained the sword with which they were made. He was dying, I was so afraid of him dying and leaving me alone, that I offered him my blood, even though he said he would never drink it, he could not resist seeing me cut my neck with the little old knife that was on the table. Although he squeezed me tightly as he drank from me, I was not afraid of him. When night came, he went out to get me something to eat. A while after he left, an old vampire entered the room; When he tried to get close to me I was so scared that I started shouting, apparently Angel was very close and he heard me, he went quickly into the room, by the time I looked again, Angel was in front of me saying softly the phrase "do not be afraid, I will give my life for your life whenever you need it." I hugged him and I fell asleep in his arms. At that moment I returned to reality, I hugged him again and once more he said "whenever you need it" and then I fainted in his arms.
