Chapter 28 New friend
He is an older brother who doubles as a father and mother. He’s the best human I’ve ever known. He is my life and everything to me.
Zara
The next second, suddenly the atmosphere there became silent. Zara’s hands are shaking violently seeing lots of blood stains on her clothes. Then gradually his body slumped to the ground.
“Zara!!”
Jeffry moved quickly to catch Zara’s limp body.
“I killed him.”
Zara is sorry, her face looks scared and her hands are still shaking violently.
“You saved me. He should be dead.”
“That’s the first time I’ve been killed. What if the police catch me, and I go to jail?”
Jeffry then smiled and rubbed the top of Zara’s head a little. “Oh yeah? So, should I die?”
“No one will punish you Zara. That’s how the world works.”
But still, for Zara all this is a big thing. A Doctor is supposed to save someone’s life, and what he has done is to kill the vampire who is now dying in front of him.
Jeffry turned closer to the vampire who was already lying covered in blood. The sword that pierced the Gervinder fighter’s stomach was also still perfectly embedded there.
“Argh!” The vampire let out a muffled shriek, holding his hand which was broken by Jeffery stepping on it.
“Tsk! Your hands are useless at all. Your playing is cunning. Gervinder doesn’t want to have a fighter like you! Traitor!!” Jeffry came closer and whispered into the vampire’s ear.
Jeffry ended it, the sword has now switched, which was originally stabbed in the stomach, now Jeffry has pierced perfectly in the heart of the fighting vampire from his own clan.
“Do I have to have no compassion in this world? Oh my God, do I have to be a villain.”
Zara is experiencing conflicting thoughts and desires. On the other hand he shouldn’t feel guilty. Because Zara did it all to help her sweet vampire. But his heart really couldn’t accept that he had just killed someone.
Jeffry returned his attention to the figure of the girl who had saved his life. Jeffry walked closer, his hand which was still stained with blood he used to reveal the strands that covered half of Zara’s face.
A sense of pride and worry grew inside as he looked at Zara’s face, making Jeffry now smile a smile, “The owner of this immortal blood has now become a brave girl.” he thought as he turned to hold Zara’s cheek-wiping the traces of tears there.
“Now it’s already better?”
Zara feels a little better because of Jeffry’s warm attitude towards her. In the past, Jeffry who was very cold has now really become a sweet and caring vampire.
Nodding slightly, then Zara raised her head, wondering how Jeffry’s expression was now.
“Are there vampires this cute?” chirps Zara unconsciously.
Zara’s eyes blinked when suddenly Jeffry blew her eyes. Zara’s energy is still not enough to scream at Jeffry who really has no romance.
Zara just sighed softly then turned her face and turned to hold Jeffry’s injured hand.
“Na Jeffry! Don’t these wounds hurt?”
Jeffry shook his head then pulled his hand from Zara’s grip and turned to one of the horses.
“You ugly vampire!! You’re not listening to me?!”
“It’s just a small wound, it will heal on its own.” Jeffry glanced at Zara then unexpectedly, he clapped his hands twice and the horses ran into the Dark Angel forest. Zara was surprised for a moment, but not too bothered by it, realizing that Jeffry was not an ordinary human, but a creature with super powers.
“This must be treated, let’s find the nearest village from here. We can ask them for help.”
Jeffry just nodded at Zara’s words, even though there was no need to do that, the wounds on his body would soon get better.
“Why don’t you let the horse go?” Jeffry led the horse to wear Zara was standing.
“We’ll ride it. Come here!”
Zara came closer and looked at the fairly large horse in amazement. “Are you serious? There is no saddle on this horse. How can I ride it, I might fall later.” his gaze did not leave the brown horse.
“I didn’t tell you to ride this horse either, I’m sure you wouldn’t be able to.”
Jeffry’s strong hands just wrapped around Zara’s waist and pulled her quickly. Zara’s small body Jeffry easily pulled in his arms.
Their eyes met for a moment. The corners of Jeffry’s lips lifted to catch Zara’s eyes which were perfectly rounded. Until now, Zara has turned to glare at what Jeffry said earlier.
“You just owe me your life Na Jeffry. So don’t talk carelessly!!” Zara’s hands pushed Jeffry’s chest in annoyance. Made Jeffry take a few steps back and ended up with a glare at Zara.
Zara rolled her eyes lazily to find Jeffry who was looking at her with a cold expression.
“Huft! Alright, I can ride this.”
“Good horse, don’t let me fall! My body feels very tired, so let’s work together. After that I will feed you.”
The two tiny legs tried to grab the horse’s back with difficulty and in the end they couldn’t.
“This horse is too tall for me!”
Jeffry had been silent since then, observing Zara’s behavior which was really adorable in her eyes.
“You stupid.”
It’s not good to stay in the Dark Angel area for too long, so Jeffry immediately walked over to Zara and lifted her onto the horse.
“Jeffry! You startled me!” Zara protests while crossing her arms.
“Hey wait!!” Jeffry immediately stared intensely because Zara prevented him from riding the horse.
“Are you going to ride it too?”
Jeffry looked down and sighed softly, he started to jump and sat behind Zara.
“If you don’t accept me here. You can come down Miss Zara.”
Zara smiled awkwardly, feeling a whisper in his ear with their too close distance.
“My heart, why is it always like this? And why is my face heating up.”
“Aaaaaa!!”
Zara’s hands were cupped to cover her face, even because she was embarrassed she screamed loudly, making Jeffry shocked and confused.
“Why?” Jeffry’s baritone voice made Zara quickly shake her head.
“It doesn’t matter.”
“One more thing, don’t be too fast! I’m scared.” Jeffery smiled slightly.
“Your ban is an order to me, princess.”
Jeffry moved his feet, the sound of horse hooves was then heard splitting the vast forest at high speed.
The steps of the horses they were riding now walked slowly, not because the brown horse was tired, but the rider who ordered it.
“What are you thinking?” Jeffry’s lips lifted to read what was on Zara’s mind at this moment.
“There is no.” replied Zara with a blush on her cheeks.
Zara closed her eyes many times as the uneven road made their bodies collide lightly. Strange tingles always invaded his body when it happened. Plus Jeffry’s regular breath brushed the crook of his neck gently. The white face is now a pink color.
“Have you ever ridden a horse before?”
“It’s been a long time. When I was 10 years old, if I’m not mistaken.” Zara smiled slightly remembering a piece of memory that was almost erased in her memory.
“Alone?”
“No. Of course not Jeffry, with my brother. Sis Tae.”
Saying her sister’s name made Zara remember that she missed Jayden so much now.
“You must miss him?”
Jeffry reflexively held Zara’s waist when she saw the uneven ground. Afraid that if only, Zara will fall later. Because lost in the imagination of her sister’s face, Zara did not notice the existence of Jeffry’s fingers touching her left waist.
“I really miss my brother. I miss how he looked when he scolded me.”
“It’s funny how your brother, as the Vampire Lord of the Blanchard clan who is known for his strength and power, turned out to be raising a troublesome human like you.”
“You really are smart when you make fun of me.” snorted Zara.
“But it’s not wrong, I do often trouble him. So far, I’ve always relied on Tae Tae. Whatever and wherever I need him he’s always there for me.”
Zara then laughs for a moment.
“Why didn’t I suspect earlier, that my brother could come so quickly when I needed him. Am I the stupid one or Tae is too good at hiding it.”
“First guess.” Jeffry answered quickly while smiling broadly showing a row of teeth.
“Sis Tae is actually not much different from you, he is talkative, his expression can’t be read, his way of thinking is also difficult to predict. But most importantly, Tae loves me very much.”
The corners of Zara’s lips lifted together as tears fell down her right cheek.
“He’s a big brother who doubles as mother and father. He’s the best human I’ve ever known. He’s my life and everything to me.”
“Although we are not related by blood, we are like siblings. Since we were young, we were the ones who took care of me.”
Jeffry was stunned for a moment by the fact that Zara said.
“You know you guys aren’t siblings?”
“Of course, our surnames are clearly different. Tae Tae told me when I was 15 years old, right after I won a dance competition. At first I didn’t believe it and chose to be angry with him for a few days.”
Jeffry’s eyes stared straight ahead, those irises looked so empty, Jeffry thought for a moment. After what he did to Zara. Kidnapped her and wanted to bring Zara to her own death. Jeffry should have dared to take responsibility for that. He should have returned Zara to Lord Blanchard.
The girl in front of him was not only kind and loving. Zara is an angel who transforms into a human with immortal blood.
“How about we head to your sister’s palace instead. Shall we stop here?”
Silence, the rustling of the leaves of the shady trees that can only be heard. Zara thinks for a moment.
“No. Don’t do that!”
“Why? Don’t you miss your brother?”
“I don’t want you to get hurt.” Zara answered spontaneously, Jeffry who heard Zara’s honest confession was now smiling.
“And what’s your family like, Jeffry?”
Jeffry was silent, he didn’t know what to say. All this time, in his life. He only acknowledged himself as the Guardian of the Gervinder clan. Not as a member of the royal family. All the happiness that Jeffry felt in the past, was really not stored in his memory. Sadness, revenge, suffering, that’s all Jeffry felt during his life for hundreds of years.
“Yeah that’s fine. One day if we’re still together and you want to tell me about your family I’d be happy to listen.”
“Thanks Zara.”
“What for?
“Bringing happiness to my life.”

Hearing her heart beating so loudly made Zara speechless with an inexplicable expression. A second later he turned to look at the face behind him.
“Thanks again, Jeffry.”
Jeffry smiled a little then stroked Zara’s hair.
“Even now I’m still confused. What’s the reason you swore to protect me? Whereas you’re a vampire prince aren’t you? You’re an important person in your kingdom. Doing all this means you have been betrayed.”
“What you say is true of all Zara. The first reason, destiny. And the next reason,”
Jeffry chose to stop with his words.
“Next reason?”
“I don’t know what the second reason means.”
For a moment the two of them stared at each other again. Zara’s face looked up trying to dive into those sharp eyes.
“Aaaaaaaa!!!”
Jeffry and Zara froze at the same time as the sound of screaming broke the silence of the forest. Jeffry hastily got off the horse then followed by Zara.
Brake
One Rogue had been brought down, but they couldn’t breathe a sigh of relief at all. The longer they fought, the more Rogues came.
“Thank you.” The little girl’s breath caught, her heart beating fast as the giant Rogue nearly tore her arm apart if her pale white friend hadn’t pulled her in in time.
“You should be more careful!” A chestnut-haired boy with his pale white skin that was so contrasting was nagging furiously with worry.
“I’ve been very careful, but they keep coming!!”
In the midst of their busy arguing, they forgot one friend who was battling a Rogue that was not comparable to his size. The boy grimaced in pain as Rogue slammed his small body onto the ground with a single punch.
“Stop you two!! Can you guys just help me fight them? My magic is starting to weaken!” Suddenly the two friends turned and rolled their eyes to see Rogue who was standing behind the boy ready to pounce with long slimy fangs.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
