Chapter 5

• Hazel's POV
• " My prince, please, I want to sit down for a bit "
• I said while feeling him slightly touching my back but not that sure, My body is so heavy, I started to wear my clothes again, feeling numb in my arms.
• " Call me Alex, alright?"
• He said while looking at me differently.
• His eyes start to glow, it was pure red.
• I couldn't talk nor move like I was stunned.
• " Alex, d, did you drug me? "
• He pushed me at the chair fast that I gasped, I didn't even notice his move, he grabbed my leg to his arm to look at my injury.
• " You poor thing had to suffer while running from all these people "
• He said after throwing my leg again then cornered me to look closely at my eyes.
• " People?"
• " My spy told me, there's a beautiful strong woman in a village nearby, many men from the whole kingdom came for her to marry her, but she killed them all "
• " WHAT !? "
• I said in fear, I'm not a killer!
• " Now let me have my dinner "
• He said and before I move he sunk his teeth deep at my neck and starts to drink, horrible sounds coming from his mouth.
• " No, what are you doing! "
• I pushed him with all the power I'd left, he didn't move an inch, instead, he moved on his own.
• " It's not the wine effect, honey, it's my ability, anyway, you're so tasty, surely warrior humans are the best, the villagers is the best "
• He is laughing like a mad person with his bloody teeth while licking his fingers.
• I put my left hand on my neck, I didn't find the injury.
• " I already healed you, can't let that beautiful meal die at our first date"
• Wait a minute.
• " A vampire?, A real one? How! I thought this is a legend, we read these stories to children at school"
• I said I don't even know what I'm saying anymore, I feel so dizzy.
• " Yes yes, there's a lot of people is telling me that before they die"
• He said, I looked at him, terrified.
• " But I won't hurt you, you're the one who killed the dirty minister after all "
• " No, I didn't kill anyone"
• I refuse to believe it.
• " Your dad was forcing you to marry someone you don't want, that's why you burned the village and I was searching for you for a while, that's why I asked joen to heal you "
• He said while grabbing a chair, sitting beside me, patting my shoulder.
• " Meeting you wasn't a coincidence، Dear Hazel, I needed someone like you in my life, you have to do something for me"
• What?, He put a small bottle in my hand.
• " you will put this in the next meal for the king, you can easily go to the kitchen, I can make Xenia do that, but you're more capable "
• I tried to move but I feel like a log.
• " Isn't he a vampire-like you? How, how do you even eat? "
• I said while looking at his eyes, which turned normally to blue.
• " Who said we can't? We can normally enjoy human food, that's not our problem now "
• He got more closer, playing with my hair.
• " Would you kill the king for me putting that to his food or not? "
• He whispered in my ear while I holding on the bottle to my chest.
• The king is a good leader, everybody loves him, ruled for many ages, I didn't even know he is a vampire.
• Who am I to kill him?
• They didn't want to kill him so they didn't get caught and die by his hands.
• Stupid cowards.
• " I'm not killing him "
• I said my final decision without making eye contact with him.
• He is still calmly playing with my hair.
• " I see, then you prefer watching your cute boyfriend die? "
• " What are you saying?"
• He stood up going to the door, I ran behind him!
• " You won't come near Umera! LEAVE HIM ALONE! "
• ........
• Suddenly I felt my dad dragging me away, some people grabbing Umera.
• We're in the village.
• " Nooo! Leave Umera Alone! Daad please! Umera is innocent "
• .....
• " Hey hey, wake up! "
• I looked around me, I'm still inside the prince's office.
• " You were screaming looking at the ground, that made me worried a little I must say "
• Alex the prince said, he was right! I'm a villager.
• There's a dark accident that happened to me and Umera!
• I hated my father.
• " I, I killed my family? "
• I asked him one more time and he smiled widely with a simple nod.
• " Do that for me and no one would discover what happened, not even your boyfriend "
• He said While making me stand, I nod while wiping my tears.
• ..........................
• And by that I made a deal with the prince that night, the more I remember it, the more I feel like dying.
• Knowing that I was a killer, I killed the whole village.
• And that I'll kill the king everyone loves.
• And there's a vampire above all that!
• Umera is probably knowing that I'm a killer already, that's why he is so terrified and keeps saying he is sorry.
• He was afraid of me, but he saved me anyway.
• ..........
• Many days have passed, I didn't kill the king yet, every time I'm able to put the liquid inside his food.
• Something in me stops me, telling me 'no stop.'
• I don't even know how did I kill many people before.
• I stopped talking with Umera, he doesn't deserve someone like me.
• Trash like me.
• My tears stopped falling, I stopped eating.
• I was fixing my dress before going out of the kitchen.
• Tomorrow is the day, I must kill him and run away.
• When I entered my room, Umera was there like every day, looking at me with all the sadness in the world.
• " Late job again? I don't know why suddenly the prince changed your job to work at the kitchen all day, I'm not allowed there anymore"
• I smiled at him and sat down on the bed to touch my back with a lot of pain.
• I felt Umera's hands on my back.
• " What are you doing?"
• " Doing you a massage, you look tired "
• " I AM "
• I said while laughing in sadness, I don't feel like living anymore.
• " I started to work as servant, cool right?"
• He asked me and I nodded Without talking.
• " You don't look happy, something in your mind?"
• He keeps asking every day.
• " I'm good, Umera, just a bit tired "
• I said and pushed his hands after a long massage, trying to sleep.
• " What about that, we run away together?"
• He suddenly said that made me press on my head with pain.
• "W, What did you say?"
• ......
• " Let's run away together "
• I heard someone saying this before.
• I stood up quickly to look at him.
• " Why do you love me? "
• I asked him and he was nervous.
• " You're perfect"
• " How! How do you call me perfect? You're a liar! "
• I threw a pillow at him and his shiny smile disappeared.
• " I love you, Hazel, the moment you saved me and I saw you, your kindness, your pure heart, I just love you "
• He told me, his eyes were sparkling, light tears fell out, I was going to wipe his tears but suddenly I looked at my hands to find blood.
• I'm terrified of myself.
• " Hazel? "
• I'm a killer
• " Hazel! Talk to me "
• I'm a killer
• " Hazel, please? You love me right?"
• " I'M A KILLER!"
• Without knowing I screamed closing my eyes tight on my tears.
• There was a minute of silence so I continue.
• " I killed the whole village and ran away, you, saved me, you, why did you save a monster like Me, why !! "
• I was hitting him while looking at his tears falling.
• " I don't deserve to be alive, how many villages that I've burned, HOW MANY !- "
• I was going to continue but Umera suddenly grabbed me into a deep kiss.
• We both are crying, it's a salty kiss like I'm kissing the ocean.
• He was hugging me while kissing I'm hesitant still to touch him, but finally, I grabbed his hair strongly to deepen the kiss.
• We broke it to breathe and he is resting his head on mine.
• " We're together in peace, in war, it doesn't matter if you're a killer, or I'm the one who kills, even if you're the worst person in the whole world, I'll still fall for you Hazel, I hope you feel the same about me "
• He said while breathing loudly, I hugged him tightly.
• " I love you Umera, I don't know what happened before, to us, but I hope you forgive and forget "
• I said finally throwing the past behind me.
• " You don't have to kill the king, I can do that for you "
• He said and I opened my eyes looking at him.
