Love And Secrets

The Red Blood Invitation

The day changes with the day. Week to Week. Alice's life continues as it was before she met Gara. What is different is that every night Alice wakes up with the same dream, a dream that always makes her remember the night of her meeting with Gara at the Bar.

The creepy blood-sucking figure always makes him wake up full of sweat at midnight. Alice never knew that a pair of eyes were always watching her while she was asleep. When Alice fell asleep again, Gara stroked her hair, slowly dyed her forehead and disappeared after dawn.

Today is not as usual. Aunt Anna who never woke Alice, is currently waking her up very early.

"Good morning my dear Alice..

"Happy birthday.." Aunt Anna kissed Alice lovingly.

Alice opened her eyes slowly, the sunlight making her vision slightly blurry. Aunt Anna combed Alice's hair and gave her a glass of warm milk. Alice looks happy, today she is 19 years old.

This year, it seems that Aunt Anna gave her parents a letter. Because every year since the death of her parents, Alice always receives a letter in lieu of a birthday greeting for her.

"Here's your special gift, dear.." Aunt Anna gave him a letter.

He then left Alice alone. Alice opened the letter slowly as if it was an extremely valuable and priceless item.

'Fear my little Alice..

'Mom and Dad miss you so much..

'Alice grows more beautiful all the time..

'Mom and Dad wish Alice were always happy..

'If Mom and Dad were there with you, not this letter..

Alice cried as soon as she read the letter..

'Alice this year turns 19 years old, Mom and Dad have another gift for you. This year someone will pick you up baby, he will be your life partner. Mom and Dad hoped Alice would be happier. That man must have grown up to be a manly and handsome man we really hope you'll like him. He was a friend of Mom's and Dad's son when he was a teenager. We promise to set you up. May Alice accept the last wishes of Mother and Father.

'Alice, this will be your last letter, because Mom and Dad knew Alice would be happy for years to come. Greetings to Mom and Dad, happy birthday to my son.

After reading the letter Alice looked confused, this letter was different from the other letters. Mom and Dad never asked for anything. Alice did not want to disappoint her mother and father. He was determined to fulfill his father's and mother's last wishes no matter what.

Another remark came from her brother Hans, she could not visit because there was work. Alice was grateful that there were always people who cared about her under any circumstances.

A week passed since Alice's birthday, she never knew there would be a surprise waiting for her at that time.

This morning was a little different. A horse-drawn carriage entered the grounds of Aunt Anna's house. Someone came out and gave me a blood red letter with a stamp on it.

Alice was confused, was this letter the wrong address? he never sends someone a letter and waits for a reply. Alice went to Aunt Anna and asked.

"Aunt Ann... is aunt waiting for a letter??" ask Alice.

"Hmm, I'm not waiting for Alice's letter, maybe it's for you." Aunt Anna saw the letter and was shocked.

"Alice is the royal emblem" replied Aunt Anna.

Alice was confused. Out of curiosity, he immediately opened the letter and read the contents.

'Dear Alice Patricia, you are invited to the kingdom on Saturday at 5 p.m. Someone's gonna pick you up.

A strange letter. Aunt Anna was amazed and happy. She hummed all the time and said she had to buy fancy dresses and other things. Alice did not seem excited. He just went into his room and daydreamed back.

"It looks like this is what Dad and Mom meant about someone coming to pick me up. Why do I feel disappointed like this. I was determined to be happy and accept their wishes.." Alice felt sad and suddenly remembered Gara.

Gara is the one Alice remembers all the time, even though she is unaware of her feelings.

"Am I going to see Gara again? Aaah why am I thinking about that creature right now? soon I'm getting married. This can't happen..." Excited Alice.

Alice did not realize that Gara had been listening to all of her words. Being angry and upset, she couldn't control her emotions and just left.

Close the door of her room tightly.

"Young master, how can I help you?" A servant asked carefully.

"Dean, get me some food!!"

"Good young master."

Shortly after Dean brought a very beautiful woman, she approached Gara and seduced him.

"Young Master..

"You haven't called Me in a long time..

"Every day you look very charming..

"I can't stand young master anymore..

"Let today I quench your thirst.."

Because it has a charm that no one can deny except Alice.

After pulling the woman's hand into a dark room, she pulled her shirt so forcefully that she was bare half-chested, and quickly buried her fangs in her neck. It sounded like a long moan.

"Ohhh......."

When she was finished, Gara walked out of the room. Then Dean came in and took the woman limp.

Because never killed anyone except that person who is a criminal who deserves to be punished.

"Alice, Alice why do I always remember you, what poison you gave me!!"

Every day since the meeting at the Bar, Gara always remembered Alice. So every night, she came to Alice's room without Alice knowing.

"Alice is getting married? is this a lie? there was no way that little girl would get married. What does he know about marriage."

Because he was upset and angry but he did not want to give up just like that to get Alice's heart.

* * *

Saturday came so fast. Aunt Anna was buying the dress Alice was about to wear. The dress was nude with short sleeves and a black ribbon on the chest. The dress was very simple but would fit Alice with her tiny body and full breasts, so her Aunt thought.

Maybe because everyone's going to have a party there seems so busy. There are so many noble women who buy dresses here. Every jewelry store, shoes and other accessories are crowded.

Aunt Anna rushed home. He climbed the stairs and entered Alice's room with a bag full of party supplies. Alice was sitting reading the book casually and seemed unconcerned about the arrival of her aunt.

Aunt Anna was furious at Alice's behavior, which did not care about the party that would soon last a few hours. He told Alice to take a shower and prepare.

Alice was wearing the dress Aunt Anna bought. The dress fits perfectly with her tiny body. Aunt Anna scrunched up Alice's hair and put a ribbon over her head. Alice looked sweet with the ribbon.

"Are you Miss Alice?" The driver asked politely.

"Right, I'm Alice.." Alice looks shy in the dress given by Aunt Anna. He was not confident and kept his head down.

"Miss, you look so pretty." She praised Alice and Alice blushed in embarrassment.

Before leaving, Aunt Alice gently touched Alice's shoulder.

"Alice, remember Aunt's message, be polite." Aunt Anna reminded. After that Alice went inside and the horse carriage started to walk slowly.

The journey lasts 45 minutes by horse-drawn carriage. From a distance looks a very luxurious palace with a dominance of bright white. There is a river with blue water surrounding the palace, there is a beautiful bridge connecting to enter the palace. The dome of the palace is huge and tall with its taper edges. It looks like a huge clock on one of the tall towers. The palace was very beautiful he murmured in his heart.

He still could not believe that today he would come to the palace in his country. He was still confused as to what to do after he got there.

After Alice got off the horse-drawn carriage, someone greeted her right in front of the palace entrance.

"Miss Alice please follow me.."

Alice followed the waiter. He walked in a very long and magnificent hallway. The pillars are towering, the flowers are blooming along the way.

Many nobles were walking around, but only she was delivered by the maid, all eyes were looking at her with envy, they were wondering who this woman was? where from? is it a noble? The questions were heard by Alice, and Alice looked embarrassed.

Dean knocked on the door of Gara's room.

"Tok tock.."

"Young master, your majesty calls you. I'm sorry." Dean went missing.

After that, Gara went to see his father. On the way to meet his father Gara smelled a fragrance that always made him unable to bear. But he thought it was just his imagination.

"What's the matter Dad?" Facing the King.

"Come here, there's something I need to talk about." The king looked into the eyes of his son who always looked cold.

He approached and listened to his father's wishes.

"Well, there's a party today. I hope you can find a companion for you and quickly raise a family Gara. You're the oldest kid, your sisters have to follow you, or you're gonna compete with them for a future wife?" His father said calmly and without coercion.

Because he was silent and then he spoke.

"Dad, please, I don't want to talk about this, you know. I can find my own wife. And I'm not ter.." Suddenly he stopped talking and ran down the stairs.

The king was surprised by the change in his son's attitude, then the King turned his gaze towards his son leaving, the King just smiled.

"It looks like I'm going to have a wedding soon." Mumbled His Majesty the King.

"Alice.." Cried half screaming.

All eyes were on Alice. Alice looked puzzled, then she looked forward to the voice of someone calling her name. She gasped in shock, Alice covered her mouth and almost fell down. What he saw was definitely not an illusion, he saw someone he deeply missed, Gara.

"How come.." Mumbled Alice.

She hugged Alice and then held her hand.

Alice was silent, her heartbeat was rising, not the feeling of fear she felt, but happy, almost tears dripping from her eyes.

"Alice.. Why are you here? " ask Gara.

Alice then handed the blood red invitation to Gara. Surprised and confused. But a split second later Gara smiled. Her smile seemed very happy, but Alice seemed confused as to why Gara was there. When Gara was about to take Alice away, he refused and threw Gara's hand, Gara looked confused and disappointed.

"Why Alice?" ask Gara.

"I'm sorry, because I have to go." replied Alice.

"But Alice I'm a.." hasn't been able to explain Alice has run away.

Because of anger and anger. She should have explained who she was, instead of hiding every night in Alice's room, regretting her attitude all along.

Alice, she doesn't want to see Gara. Because his heart is not ready. He promised both his parents that he would marry. If she meets Gara again, she's not sure she'll keep her promise to her parents.

Alice ran so fast that she didn't know where she was. There are many rooms and long hallways in the palace.

When he was about to return to the hall where the people were gathered he accidentally entered a bright room. The room was not empty there was someone standing behind the window, Alice ventured to ask.

"Excuse Me, sir..

"Which way dance hall or main hall?" Alice asked politely.

The man turned his head and looking at a little girl, he smelled a strange smell from the girl's body. The man was getting closer and was only 1 meter away now.

The man could clearly see Alice's face, smiling at her white fangs, as Alice retreated backwards. Alice could clearly see the man's face. The tall man with brown hair and golden eye color, his skin was pale. And of course his face was handsome, he realized that this man in front of him was a vampire, there was a strange aura that enveloped him.

"Sorry Mister..

"It looks like I've got the wrong room, though,

"I was about to go into the hall and accidentally enter this place." Alice lowered her head and wanted to quickly leave the place.

"Miss..what's your name?" Ask the man politely.

Alice was confused, should she answer him or not. But, he recalled Aunt Anna's message.

"My name is Alice sir, I'm sorry." Alice had permission to leave the room, but the man's cold hands held her back.

"Miss, my name is William, you can call Me Will." William said softly.

Alice grabbed her forehead, she thought, This vampire seems good and can help me get back to the hall.

"Will.. can you escort me to the hall?" ask Alice politely.

William was silent.he did not speak a word, the scent of Alice's body made him drunk, he was not used to the presence of the human body that made him lose his mind.

"Will.. William.. " Alice touched William's arm carefully..

"Aah.I'm sorry Miss Alice.. I'll take you to the Hall." replied William.

William walked as far as possible with Alice, afraid she could not control her body.

William kept glancing at Alice, He spread his gaze throughout the room and hallway, hoping that his brothers would not smell Alice's scent.

But William's hope was in vain, from a distance saw someone who looked sharply at Alice.
