My head felt heavy as I woke up, still closing my eyes I sat down in the bed,

and hanged down my feet at the side, my head hurts, dammit.

The bed was super soft, but as I remember it correctly, mine wasn’t this
soft.

The strong fragrance filled my nostrils, it smell masculine.

Weird.

I shrugged into my own thoughts, and decided to get a bath.

As I opened my eyes, an unfamiliar room welcomed me, and realized I

wasn’t at my apartment.

The cream colored room was spacious there’s a mini table at the end of the
bed, expensive looking furniture’s were displayed.

There’s a wide window at the right side of the room, but it was covered with I checked the dress I’m wearing it was in mint green floral ruffle dress, it’s
dark red curtains. beautiful and I must admit look elegant with it, and a small smile was
formed in my lips, not until I realized I’m not at my own home.

There’s no light from the outside entering this room.

I went out of the bathroom, sat at the side of the bed and get my bag, I’m
thankful I brought my compact mirror that day, I quickly look into my neck
I panicked. through it, I caress it and felt a rough texture on the bitten area. I had 2 pair
of bite, maybe that monster bit me two times, before the silver eyed man
saved me.

“Where am I?” I asked to myself and got up. I sighed once more, and closed my compact mirror, I don’t have to wear
lipstick or any make up on, ‘cause my lips are naturally pink, and my
eyebrows looks just fine.
Then memories rushed into my head,

I was lost in my own thoughts when I heard a knock, I didn’t answer back,
I quickly look for a mirror but failed to find one, what I only found is a door, I’m in a stranger’s house, how can I be sure this stranger won’t take
leading me the bathroom of this room, advantage of me?

I sighed and decided to get a bath before wearing the dress that is left at “f*ck” when I didn’t answer back, the door was forcedly open,
the side table together with my bag and a note.

As the door open roughly, I quickly placed my hair in my shoulder to hide

Please wear this dress once you wake up, I know you don’t want a man to the bitten area, and look down avoiding the strangers gaze.

Surely, I wanted to know why I am here in his house, if it is his.

I wanted to know what happened to me, and why am I still alive,

But I must kept my mouth shut, baka may hidden agenda siya.

If he is a vampire, maybe he kept me here to be his food source.

I stayed still as he sat beside me at the space in my left.

If he was the one who saved me, maybe it was okay, he saved me twice Finally I can have a gaze on him in my peripheral vision while his attention

He was the guy who saved me that night!

“Hmm?” he hummed questioningly.

I had too much questions in my head I wanted to asked, but I’m too afraid
to ask them.
Slowly I raised my head and to finally met his gazed.

I was even more surprised when I finally saw his silver eyes.
The man in a black suit, stayed silent while standing still at the door,

It was really him!

Maybe he is staring at me, his feet are facing my direction.

Shocked was written all over my face, but I kept my mouth shut, and cover it
with my both hands.

I wonder what he looks like.

He look at me confusingly,

I heard a deep sigh coming from the man. His brows are curled, while looking at me.

He walk towards me, holding a tray elegantly on his left hand, and place it at
the side table at my left side.

He was wearing a pair of black tuxedo, black pants and cream shirt
underneath and black leather shoes and a black socks.
This man surely loves black.
Then those confused look was replaced with a laugh.
Huh? Is he crazy?
Then he laughed hard.
My shock expression was replaced with a confused one
“Huh?” I whispered to myself, still being confused.
“w-why a—“ I was about to asked him on why was he laughing at me, but

My vision is blurred,
I feel light-headed,
My surrounding is twirling around,
Then I felt a soft thing underneath my body,

My vision were vivid, but I can clearly read the worry that is written in his
face.
Why do you look so worried? I wanted to ask but I’m too tired.
Then darkness welcomed me again.
“Run Keannea!” mom shouted as blood comes out from her mouth.
My body went cold, seeing my mom bathing in her own blood. My brother
has been slaughtered and been a food source by the vampires, same goes
with my father, and now they raped my mom and slaughtered her too.
“KEANNEAAAA! RUUUUUUUUUUUUN!” my mom’s shout made my body
quivered,
Reluctantly I run away from her, I went to my room in the second floor of
our home, put everything I’ll be needing in a small backpack, the money I
saved for 3 years straight, that I was about to use for my college entrance
exam this year, my bible, and the necklace and ring my brother gave me on
my 17th birthday.
After readying everything, I ran out of my room,
I was about to take my turn to the staircase, when a lady in black dress
appeared just in front of me.
“Running away sweetheart?” she asked mischievously while walking
towards me
I stepped back, holding my bag tight and trying to grab anything I can use to
protect myself from her.
I screamed loudly, as if my energy depends on how loud it can be. I made a
twirl in the air, hold the two ends of the necklace in my both hands, and
strangled her with it.

When she saw, fear in my face, she laughed evilly, and showed me her
fangs.
I am now on her back, strangling her neck.

“No, please!” I pleaded her, as I continue to step back.

‘Sorry kuya’ and a tear fell down.

I step back once more, I look around me, trying to find anything silver, but
She was trying to save herself

She was undeniably strong but it’s no use this necklace is made of silver, one

that they cannot touch nor drink my blood through my neck.
Then she vanished, she became dust.
And the ring to protect my wrist.

I fell down on my knees, and cried.

But I have no choice. While biting my lips as I tremble getting my necklace in
my back pocket. Once I had it in my hand, I wear my backpack just like how
you are supposed to wear it.
Then I felt a sting of pain in my neck.

It was too late, when I realized I was being bitten.

Holding it tightly in my hand, I ran through her, not thinking of what might
happen.
I felt even weaker, as I already am.

 “You miss ‘em?”

I can’t die yet. I nodded as a response.

I don’t want to die.

I know it’s him. The silver eyed man who saved me 5 years ago.

Then I fell to the ground, and saw a man in silver hair and eyes, in an all-
black suit and a half mask hiding the lower half of his face starting from the
bridge of his nose, as he kill the guy whom I assumed the one who bit me.

And he saved me again.

Am I going to die? Is this my really my end?

“You saved me again” I whispered just enough for him to hear me.
“You won’t die, he only had a drop of your blood.” The silver eyed man told
me, while carrying me in his arms.

I wanted to ask him badly, not that I’m not thankful for his saving, but I’m
really confused why did he saved me?
“Thank you.” I tried my best to say it to him but it only comes out as a
whisper, and lose my consciousness.

“Why?” I asked still hugging my knees,

The next morning, I woke up in a hospital room

But what he answered made me look at him and confused me more, he was

“Mom” I whispered, I curled up my legs and hug them.

“Cause your special”

I cried silently.
Am I?

Now that made my tummy grumble.

I nod at him then silence.

The moment I finish my food, I laid my back at the headboard and sighed in
contentment. Then a smile was finally formed through my lips, I haven’t

Lusica? There are only one clan that is known. It can’t be him. I mean yes
“Why am I unconscious for four days? How did it happen?” I asked him.
this room is huge and all, but that’s not possible right? Why would a count
save me? Kamag-anak niya kaya siya?

“Actually before you went unconscious last time, you were asleep for a day “Lusica? Are you from the royalty?” I asked out of confusion,
when I entered here, I was about to check on you, and your neck, I was
shocked to see you conscious so I just stared at you for a moment, when I
sat beside you, I know you haven’t gain you energy yet and you look pale, “A count” he said as if it wasn’t a big deal.
then you whispered something…”
My eyes widened in disbelief.

He look at me confusingly.
“Silver” I continued.

“Don’t give me that face, it’s not as if it’s a big deal, that’s just a title” he
“Yeah, ‘silver’ then you went unconscious again and woke up 3 days after.” said.
He explained and chuckled

“You were unconscious because of too much blood lost” he seriously added

“well it is, your highness” I answered him with courtesy, he is a count, I must
act how I should have act, I can be put behind bars if I didn’t acknowledge
him and his position in this country.
I move out of the bed.
I can’t be near him, I must keep my distance from him.
“Please, I’m tired being called and treated like that” he said as he reached
for my hand.
My heart went wild the moment our skin touched.
I froze.
How can he have such an effect in me like this?
“I don’t want you to treat me as a member of the royal hierarchy, I want
you to treat me just like an ordinary person.” He pleaded again, that made
me look into his eyes.
And here I am, thinking all royalties are the same, cocky, thick-faced, and ill-
mannered.

he is too close to me, in the bed alone with him.
“I know who you are” he smiled sweetly at me, and returned at his gaze
with a questioning look.

he is too close to me, in the bed alone with him.
What does he want from me?
Will he sell me, like what other nobles do to a commoner like me?
Am I going to be a slave to pay his kindness to me?
Or will I be his food-source?
And what does he mean by he knew me? Is he my schoolmate before?

I waited for them to take me, but no one did.

I am able to stand on my own now.

I live alone and live like a commoner now, way too far from being a noble
“Yes, you are the last Balthazar-Grecian here, but not in the entire

With my savings, I was able to apply for college, buy myself foods, and pay
my bills.

I closed my eyes trying to stop them from crying, but they won’t stop.
Up to his pink kissable lips.
Then I felt something soft in my cheeks.
He is indeed handsome.
I opened my eyes and saw the man beside me wiping my tears away with
his thumb.

Why is he doing all of this?

“y-you remember me?” he asked, he look shocked.

“It’s all in the past now, you have to move on.”

I nodded.
Maybe he’s right,
“How can I forgot those silver eyes, and hair of the same man who saved me
Maybe I should have move on, 5 years ago and 4 days ago?” I answered him while smiling.

Maybe I should let my family, have their peaceful rest.

How can I forgot those eyes that captured my heart that night?

I stared at his beautiful face, examining every feature he has,

Then those confused face, became a happy one.

From his thick black eyebrows,
