Love in the darkness

"Hey, let's go back! Do you want to stay here?" take Hwang Ji Na with a soft pat on the man's shoulder.

Chanwo nodded at his words. He immediately turned his body around, then went back into the forest where he came from.

'Tap 'em! Taps! Aap!'

The sound of the footsteps of the two of them sounded so clearly in this place. Although this forest was filled with vampires and shadow clans, every day the atmosphere of this place was always this way. There was never a crowd. Even when they ran, it made no sound. It was because their speed was equivalent to the speed of light or something like that.

Chanwo still continues to hold his own chest from earlier. He still wants to feel how the sensation of the organ while beating as it should. It's been a long time since the heart died and didn't pump blood all over its body.

Not every vampire has a heart that beats like this. Some are born with no heartbeat at all. There is even a gift given in the form of a beating heart, and not everyone can get the privilege. Those with a functioning heart would be so special in the eyes of other vampires.

"Why do you think my heart beats like this?" ask Chanwo in the middle of the trip.

"So, I don't know for sure about it" replied Hwang Ji Na as she was.

"But the longer it takes, the faster it beats. I can't control it, it feels like my heart just wants to explode" Chanwo told his adopted sister.

"You're serious?" hwang Ji Na asked half-surprised.

The man nodded his head several times. Without a second thought, Hwang Ji Na again checked the man's heartbeat by sticking his ears there. The smell and hearing of werewolves is always reliable. Moreover, this girl came from the alpha clan, which is the highest clan in the history of the wolf nation.

"Are you in love?" hwang Ji Na asked carefully.

"Maybe.." replied Chanwo who looked hesitant.

"Who?" ask her again.

"The girl who was just now was probably, her blood was very alluring to me," he explained plainly.

"Hey! Are you crazy?!" reply Hwang Ji Na while hitting her brother's head.

Chanwo could only grimace in pain as this little girl did just that to him. Although he was the ruler and could do whatever he wanted, Hwang Ji Na was still his sister. It is natural that sometimes a sister behaves so infuriatingly towards her own brother.

"Have you forgotten that the people of the dark nation cannot fall in love?" hwang Ji Na said with a rather high tone.

The man lowered his gaze while scratching his head which did not itch at all. He doesn't know what to do now. Is the sentence he said wrong.

"You know if it's a big ban from this nation for centuries" the girl continued to commemorate her brother.

"I know that, but it's impossible for any living creature to survive without love. Including vampires though" Chanwo explained.

"Falling in love with fellow dark people is prohibited, especially with other people," replied Hwang Ji Na who did not want to lose the argument.

"He's a half Phoenix man, that's a fire bird. You can die if you dare to get close to him," he continued.

"Phoenixes? It's worth it he's so stunning" Chanwo said, nodding in understanding.

"Have forgotten the girl, after all she has gone far. You'll never find her again. Better just think about your kingdom's affairs" explained Hwang Ji Na who tried to end the conversation.

They went on their way back to the kingdom. This time Hwang Ji Na had to go to the kingdom first, before returning to her cave. There's some business he needs to finish there. Hwang Ji Na was appointed by Chanwo directly to train the archery abilities of his soldiers. Someday, this skill will definitely help them a lot. It does not rule out the possibility that this small kingdom will experience a threat later. Even though the place was barely known to anyone, still they all had to be vigilant. Staying careful will keep them safe.

***

While Hwang Ji Na was doing her homework in the backyard, Chanwo immediately returned to his room. For the umpteenth time he was back alone in that place. Hiding alone there, the black robe outfit he was wearing made it seem to fuse with the dark. The man is busy with his own world, a world no one else has ever known. Even by Rae Young, her own biological sister.

Chanwo could spend twelve more hours there. Just sitting there and doing nothing, that's what he does every day. The man ostensibly secluded himself from the crowd of people in his palace.

'Kriett!!!'

'Bamm!!!'

Chanwo closed the door violently, thus creating a strong enough thumping sound in such a desolate place. The door hinge that has rusted, do not want to lose to take part there. That silky subtle creaking sound, was always heard as someone opened this door. Creating a creepy melody that accompanies the sound of the door crash at that time.

This man returned to where he felt most comfortable. A chair near the corner of the room. He dropped his body so lightly there. Chanwo breathed a long sigh. It felt like his body was all sick after a fairly long journey for him.

Maybe it's all caused by his bad habits at this time. Now Chanwo can only spend time sitting and staying in this room. Whereas once, he was able to travel around all over this forest with Hwang Ji Na. That's why this man knows exactly how subtle this place is. But now everything is different. The situation required him to remain in the kingdom, control the entire forest and do some other work that became the duty of a leader.

"What is this thing?" chanwo asked himself.

Without a second thought, he immediately picked up the object from under the floor. It is shaped like a chain with a very small size. There are several accessories and gemstones that adorn its appearance.

"Is this an ankle bracelet?" he continued to observe the thing.

"But whose is this? Is it Ji Na's? But as far as I know, the girl never wears jewelry like this" she said once again.

Now he is confused by all the questions he makes himself. Clearly, this thing belonged to a woman. And the only woman he allowed in here was Hwang Ji Na, besides none. Except for the sweet girl who last came here with Hwang Ji Na.

Chanwo decided to meet Hwang Ji Na who was busy in the backyard. Not to forget he also took the anklet with him.

"Hwang Ji Na!" chanwo shouted from a distance.

Everyone who was there suddenly stopped their activities. The atmosphere that was originally boisterous and bustling, was suddenly silent for a moment. Everyone there was silent as this man spoke out loudly.

"Dry!" he said in a softer tone, waving his hand.

Then the girl immediately ran towards Chanwo. It is not usual for the man to call himself if there is no urgent need, or something concerning himself.

"What's wrong?" hwang Ji Na asked as she tightened her hair.

"Let's come with me, let's talk in my room, '" replied Chanwo who then pulled the girl's hand.

They returned to that place so quickly. In just a matter of seconds, even though the room was located on the top floor close to the tower. It is not in doubt, the speed of running a vampire and wolf is very fast.

Once there, Chanwo closed the door. Make sure no one but the two of them is in this room.

"Is this thing yours?" chanwo said as he leaned towards Hwang Ji Na.

Meanwhile, the figure asked was silent for a while. Hwang Ji Na was busy paying attention to the thing that the man was pointing at. I don't think he ever had that kind of thing. This thing is so shiny in the dark, so elegant. Hwang Ji Na looked closely again for the last time, before she answered the man's question.

"It seems like I've never seen that thing before" Hwang Ji Na said confidently.

"Then if it's not yours, then who's it?" asked Chanwo who made increasingly confused.

"Is it possible that it's a trace left behind, it's possible that someone is trying to infiltrate this place?" hwang Ji Na

"Only you and Rae Young can enter this place, other than the two of you there is nothing at all" Chanwo replied confidently.

"At some point I've been bouncing this place, so it's impossible if there's an intruder" he continued.

"Who does this belong to, does it belong to Rae Young?" hwang Ji Na said, who was confused.

"Let me call Rae Young to come here" Chanwo said.

A second later, this man instantly focused his entire mind. He is using the power of his mind to communicate with Rae Young. Every vampire and shadow clan had inherited that skill by his parents. However they could only use it to fellow clan members. That's why earlier, inevitably Chanwo must be willing to go down to pick up this girl.

"In the near future he will be here soon" Chanwo said.

"Good." replied Hwang Ji Na.

Again, in just a few seconds Rae Young managed to reach the door of this room in a fraction of a second. The man, who was younger than Chanwo, immediately entered the room without waiting for further instructions. He knows that someone is waiting for his presence.

"What is it that you called me to come here?" ask Rae Young who just arrived.

"Sit down first" Chanwo said calmly.

"Is this thing yours?" asked Chanwo while thrusting a silver bracelet with the ornament of the gem.

"I've never liked this gemstone. Is this ruby?" answer Rae Young.

Though he only saw it with a glance, but with so sure he said if the object was not his.

"Who does this belong to?" chanwo asked himself for the umpteenth time.

"Why don't you just smell it?" rae Young told Hwang Ji Na.

"Oh, yes! Why didn't I do that from earlier," Hwang Ji Na said as she patted her forehead gently.

"Curtain!" reply Rae Young while folding both of her hands in front of her chest.

"Basar you! Why is it slow, are you short on protein?" timpal Chanwo's.

"Hush still!" gertak Hwang Ji Na growled.

Both of his foster brothers always blame him when he is stoned like this. Suppose they can remind themselves in a softer way.

These two vampire men were always acting so infuriatingly towards him. Especially the young man named Rae Young. Just look at it now, he sat down with a glare of sharp eyes that seemed to belittle Hwang Ji Na. Added with folded hands, then his head that looks up, increasingly add a haughty impression of the vampire. But on the other hand, it's actually not so. There was a warm soul that he never showed anyone. Although it seems that Rae Young is so arrogant and cold, she will not stay still when someone is in danger.

All the creatures in this world, no matter what kind they are. Clearly, every creature in the universe must have its own bright side. Just back to themselves. Want to highlight the bright side, or even show the opposite to the universe.

"Hows it? Did you find out who the owner was?" tanya Chanwo is impatient.

"I kind of recognize the smell, it's no stranger to me. But I can't clearly remember whose scent this body is," he explained while still sniffing the object.

"Basic suck!" chirps Rae Young.

Hwang Ji Na only grinned harshly at the man, while baring both fangs. It was a threat from him, so that this man did not dare to mess with her. But Rae Young knew exactly if it was just a meaningless bluff that the girl always does when she gets upset.

"Who would dare to enter here other than the three of us?" hwang Ji Na.

"That girl!" shout them simultaneously.

For a few seconds they were silent and staring at each other. It's not wrong, it must be Eun Ji Hae's. He's the only foreigner who's ever been in this room. But how could this item be left behind just like that here. Didn't the girl realize it at all.

"It must belong to Eun Ji Hae," said Hwang Ji Na breaking the silence of the atmosphere.

"So that girl's name is Eun Ji Hae" Rae Young said, nodding in understanding.
