A cold, silent night atop a skyscraper commonly called Tower Gervaso, two vampires with their own true forms - each now fighting brutally and blindly, with their own, Arion and Jerome with their large wingspan and their bodies not covered by clothes showed both muscular and athletic bodies replying to each other punches, kicks, kicks, and slam but they are seen to hold each other's strength - each so as not to attract the attention of people around them. The gaze of the two with his red eyes showed a very vengeful anger, the lips of both of them who occasionally took a breath to make a sound like sniffing and showed fangs that were thick with vampire fights.
Braaks... One blow to the point of the fital managed to make Arion sprawl, the blow that Jerome hit Arion's stomach was so hard that the victory seemed to belong to Jerome. Drops of blood flowed profusely from Arion's mouth that had been sprawled by Jerome, enduring such intense pain that his body was now back to human form. Jerome who saw it quickly changed his form and with his speed of movement, one leg belonging to Jerome was already on the chest of the field of Arion Gervaso.
"Are you aware of Arion?!" jerome's Snatch on Arion
There will be no mercy for Arion, Jerome who is furious with the way Arion attracts Aurora's attention feels Arion's actions are unacceptable.
"Uhuk... uhuk... huh.... fuck you, Jerome!!" snapped Arion, got a snatch it made Jerome's emotions go back up. Jerome raised the leg he used to stomp on Arion's chest, then stomped violently back into Arion's chest until Arion thrashed in pain.
"Are you aware of your mistake, Arion?!!" jerome snapped again at Arion, but Arion was unable to answer Jerome's snatch because his breathing was gasping.
"We have promised to compete as humans without involving our true figure!! why did you break the promise between us?!!" snapped Jerome again, Arion laughed out loud until he coughed and vomited blood again.
"Haah..it seems like the hard life you've been through all this time makes you much stronger than me" Arion chirped with a slight sound of laughter, Arion's words again pecking at Jerome's emotions. His leg he stomped back into Arion's chest, it made Arion again groan in pain.
"Arion, I wasn't angry and held a grudge when you made slander until I was put in jail because it was indeed a human way to get rid of a rival... but hypnotizing everyone around Aurora to raise your good name before Aurora, you know how scared Aurora is to see her father acting like a doll?!!" jerome Snaps
"That's because of your cheating ability!! from the past your clan had higher immunity to sunlight and your clan used that advantage to attack us!!! Now you also did the same to snatch Aurora from me!! all because you always have more time to meet Aurora, you cheat first, Jerome!!" snapping Arion at Jerome
Jerome was silent to Arion's words because what Arion said was the truth, he as the last descendant of the Galant clan did have better sun resistance than Jerome who was the last descendant of the Gervaso clan. Indirectly, Jerome had used his special abilities to win Aurora's heart, when Jerome could understand why Arion had gone so far as to defeat her.
The leg that Jerome had been pushing against Arion's chest was now slowly released, Jerome slowly walked away from Arion who was still sprawled. With the rest of his strength Arion stood up and tried to heal himself from the injuries suffered after his battle with Jerome, arion's eyes were fixed on Jerome's back, standing right in the middle of the building, staring at the dark sky that night.
"Maybe you have a point, I didn't consciously utilize my special ability that you don't have to get close to Aurora" Jerome said
"I didn't completely break our blood covenant, I only utilized one of my special abilities to compensate for your abilities. If you want a fair match, ask Aurora to bring an onion by day" Arion challenged Jerome, hearing Arion's words as it made Jerome turn to look Arion in the eye.
Between Arion and Jerome was indeed born from a vampire race with different clans, each of them had their own abilities. Jerome's excess of the Galant clan's higher immunity to the sun made Arion envious, that's why Jerome can be free to roam during the day with security from the clothes that Jerome wears while Arion must make his study room untouched by the sunlight because it will burn his vampire body. But that does not mean Arion does not have advantages because compared to Jerome, Arion is more resistant to the smell of garlic.
"You fool, Aurora will know our identity if you or I ask for something strange suddenly" in a mocking tone Jerome chimed in on Arion's idea, Arion laughed at Jerome's ridicule.
"However I ask you to release the people around Aurora from your hypnotic influence, you have no idea how afraid she is of seeing people she knows acting strangely" jerome said a little more pressing, Arion was silent for a moment and then he frowned looking at Jerome sharply.
"So you can approach Aurora more freely at sunrise? do you think you're fighting fair?!" asked Arion with a glance
"Arion, I know you will fight to the death to get Aurora because she is the only human race that might be able to give offspring to us the vampire race. But can't you accept the fact that our race is extinct because of the stupidity of our predecessors?" ask Jerome
"You would do the same, right?! don't fool me with your stupid words!!" arion
"I approached her because I wanted to protect Aurora from you!! don't equate me with you!!" back to Jerome
"Well!! you think I believe?!" said Arion
Aurora Varsha, the girl who owns the holy blood, managed to make the two handsome vampires fight for the sake of both. Only Aurora is the only remaining owner of the holy blood, of course her existence is a target for vampires who will become extinct.
"Arion... how many humans have you sacrificed to find a woman who is able to accommodate a vampire fetus?" jerome quipped, at once Arion was surprised and silent a thousand languages.
"Hmp... hundreds yes, do you know how many humans I've sacrificed all this time?" jerome asked again, but Arion remained silent.
"Nothing, I've accepted my destiny to become extinct Arion!!" jerome said with a shout
"Lied!! don't lie to me Jerome!!! If only I had the ability to read minds like you, I would have known you were lying!!!" back to Arion
"Dry me and hypnotize me with your ability, ask me to say whether I'm being honest or not" Jerome challenged, but Arion was silent at the time.
"No dare, huh? your hypnotic ability is absolute and unable to be broken, I will definitely not be able to lie when I am in your control" Jerome said
"But in the end you were able to break my hypnosis, it seems that indeed you are developing much stronger than me now" Arion flatly replied, Jerome smiled sinisterly and was about to jump from that place.
"My one message is Arion, let go of your hypnotic influence and I won't meet Aurora while the sun is still up for all to break even and be fair. If I still see you using your ridiculous abilities again around Aurora, I'll really kill you" Jerome said, then he dropped his body from the top of the tower
Not long before Arion saw Jerome transformed into his bat-man form and flew away from Gervaso tower, when Arion looked angry and hit the floor before him quite hard until the tower shook.
"Damn you Jerome!!" shouted Arion releasing his sense of regret
The night changed in the morning, at the house of the Varsha family seen Aurora woke up from her sleep. Aurora then remembered the words Jerome said that Diego would be a little dazed this morning because of the healing side effects that Jerome had done, in a hurry, Aurora rose from her sleep and went out of the room to find Diego.
Hearing her father humming a favorite song made Aurora's hopes for Diego's condition gradually normalize, slowly Aurora walked closer to Diego with doubts. Her heart was still not ready to accept the fact that her father was still not normal again, but Aurora had no choice but to try this possibility.
"Dad.." said Aurora, slowly Diego's head turned to look at Aurora behind him. Diego's eyes looked flat, along with Diego's eyes when Aurora's heart ached.
"Well, the father's daughter is awake, the tumben wakes up alone" Diego said with a little laughter heard, Aurora was surprised because her father's response was different from yesterday.
"Ba... How are things... dad?" aurora asked again, Diego heard her sigh.
"Snap, daddy's old body is not as strong as it used to be. Many joints are also painful" complained Diego, hearing the answer made Aurora cry out.
Aurora was so happy to see her father back to normal, Aurora ran to hug Diego's body tightly from behind with tears pouring down.
"Aurora?! what's up, son?! why are you crying?! did someone in the office hurt you?! or did the neighbors come back to insult you?!! tell dad, what's wrong?!!" diego asked frantically, Aurora answered all of Diego's questions with a headband.
"No dad. I'm just happy to see you back to normal. I'm happy" Aurora replied.
"Huh?! this father was normal from a long time ago, when was he not normal?!" sounding astonished when Diego said it, Aurora suddenly fell silent and let go of his embrace.
"Dad... don't know what's going on?" aurora asked puzzledly, Diego turned around and looked at Aurora with a puzzled facial expression as well.
"What happened? hasn't there been nothing in the past few days?" diego's back-question sounded so astonished
For a moment Aurora just fell silent while thinking about what was going on, Diego was like living in a parallel world as if Diego was acting strange and thought everything was going well. This time Aurora was confused what to say, but when it was there was a very curious thing Aurora on the memory of Diego a few days.
"Dad...do you remember what my job is now?" aurora asked a little pressing and tended to provoke Diego's memories
"You... reporters in the media are not famous, right?" diego tries to make sure if the answer is correct, Aurora is surprised to hear Diego's answer.
"Over these few days, what do you remember?!" aurora asked a little more pressing, the panic from Aurora's question further adding to Diego's confusion that she looked from her facial expression.
"What yes...? there is nothing strange.you work every morning, go home before dusk, I'm still with my activities as well as with you. everything goes normally.." Diego answered stammered.
Diego's answer makes Aurora believe that for the past few days Diego has been living in a parallel world where everything is going normally for Diego. For a moment Aurora fell silent and thought about how to explain to Diego the oddities of Aurora's life in recent days, including the strangeness that Diego actually showed in front of her.
"Aurora... What is it? did I say anything weird?" digo asked, breaking the silence between the two of them
"Dad... Life has not been going normally since Arion's arrival to this house, do you remember Arion coming to our house?" aurora asked again, at that moment Diego seemed very surprised to hear the words of Aurora.
"Arion came to our house?!! did you visit it well?!! is he going to catch me?!! why didn't I know Arion was coming to our house?!!" Diego bombards Aurora with so many questions, Diego's panic makes Aurora believe that Diego really lives in a parallel world for the past few days.
Diego is a shitty father with his strange thoughts for Aurora, but Aurora loves him very much. Since the departure of his mother at the age of Aurora is still very small, only Diego Aurora has. The weirdness that happened to Diego made Aurora sad. During this time Aurora was very disturbed by Diego's thoughts about the Vampires, but the events that happened to her lately made Aurora feel if Diego might be right.
"That's no problem, Dad. There's more to it than the loss of the father's memory" Aurora's timps sternly, Diego scrunched his forehead and stared intently at Aurora.
"What's that?" ask Diego
"First, all the strangeness happened since the arrival of Arion plus the father believes that Arion is a vampire. Second, Jerome can heal the father of the strangeness that the father experienced and between Jerome and Arion look to know each other. I'm sure Jerome knows if Arion is a vampire" Aurora replied, hearing Aurora's words made Diego look at Aurora with a look of wonder and surprise.
"You.. so it sounds like dad.." - Diego stammered.
"Dad~ is serious. I need all the results of dad's research so far, I have to find out everything that's going on" Aurora said
"Then you have to bring garlic, objects made of silver and also always meet Arion in places that are illuminated by the sun" said Diego
"Why is that?" ask Aurora
"As you said, vampires do have special powers as advantages, but on the other hand vampires have fatal weaknesses that are sunlight, garlic and objects made of silver" Diego replied
"Silver is not a cheap thing to get, but if it's garlic and sunlight, I can work on something." - Aurora.
"Let's see, I'll explain everything vampire-smelling to you" Diego asked
Diego invites Aurora to enter the family library room owned by Diego, where Diego gives some books to Aurora so that Aurora understands the characteristics of vampires, how to avoid them, and how to avoid them, and also effects - effects that will occur if you come into contact with vampires. So seriously Aurora learned the things that smelled of vampires, it made Diego become happy because finally his son believes in the existence of the vampire race in the middle of their lives.
