My Beautiful Doctor Vampire's
CHAPTER 9 - Stories of the Past
The first game of the English team with Iran began, this time Lionel and Bryan paired with Antonio. Both of Bryan's colleagues did not look like one team — they instead compete against each other to attack the opponent's goal.
Antonio is really messed up right now, let alone last night he drank himself drunk, and only then did Bryan see Antonio fall down because of alcohol. He was even more astonished when he saw Callie who brought him back to the room with a red face in annoyance.
The first half was completed, James reprimanded the behavior of Lionel and Antonio. “Do you want to make this team lose, huh?” james was upset.
“Sorry coach Lionel always gets in my way.” Antonio defended himself.
Not accepting the blame, Lionel also fought back against Antonio's self-defense. “You're the one who stopped me from passing the ball to Bryan!”
The two of them looked at each other with anger. James as their coach was even more upset, “If you can not lower your ego each .. please you sit on the bench players!”
The threat turned out to be powerful to dampen the commotion of these two outstanding players, James pulled Lionel into the — team because he saw his playing style matched with Antonio and Bryan. That was evident in several match trainings, before the struggle for the captain's position and the ten-legged costume at that time, who would have thought, the annoyance of Lionel he brought to this day.
Although still mutually elbowed, at least their game is both stable now, after a long round — their team finally won this match. Again Lionel and Antonio returned like cats and dogs, throwing sharp glances despite not arguing.
Erika and Callie are tasked with checking their situation post-match, when Erika's hazel irises are ringing with Antonio's grey irises — she feels misbehaved. Erika was about to leave, but Antonio's hand restrained and forced her back into her seat.
This man stared fixedly into Erika's bead, from another angle Callie looked at them with a look of jealous eyes, to the point that she almost gave a medicine plaster in the eyes of one of the players.
“Hei! You're not sane, are you? That wound is my chin, why are the eyes you're plastering?” Callie's ridiculous behavior became the laughingstock of the entire room. Only Antonio and Erika put on a serious face.
“Explain to me, what is your relationship with the Vladimir family?” Erika's fear comes true, her family is a great enemy of the werewolves and some of them have died at the hands of her family.
Erika looked down deeply, she did not dare to look Antonio in the eye. Seeing the reaction of the girl in front of him this — makes Antonio's patience disappear. “Jawab! What is your relationship with Vladimir's family!?” The whole room was made to look back because of Antonio's loud voice.
Feeling cornered and afraid that her identity would be known to the rest of the team, Erika ran out of the room crying. He did not expect his relationship with Antonio which improved slightly after a misunderstanding between them subsided — is now back to heat up.
Lionel, who saw Erika being treated harshly by Antonio, pulled the collar of the striker's shirt, the hand that was about to hit Antonio. Lionel pulled Antonio so that his lips were close to the man's ears, he whispered furiously, “Don't make us angry and obliterate Rodrigo's only descendant!”
After whispering that line, Lionel pushed the dazed Antonio in shock and chased Erika out of the room. Antonio pecked, his body trembling not because he was afraid, but because of the anger that erupted as if it was going to blow his entire body.
All his mother's stories about Vladimir's family and his late father were ringing in his ears.
“Bu, why have I never seen a photo of dad?” Teenager Antonio asked his mother. But the mother just smiled bitterly.
Her hand gently caressed Antonio's head, she softly told him, “Mommy had hated your father, because I thought — he deliberately left us or he deliberately handed us over to your grandfather, you know, you know, you know, you know, , but it turns out that mom was wrong .... Your father was looking for food in the woods, he was ambushed by some vampires and attacked. Mom only found out after we were in London, one of the vampires who attacked your father met mom.”
Antonio sat down and looked at his mother's face, then asked curiously, “For what?”
Antonio continued to listen to his mother's story with a serious face, he also recorded all the events in the story to take revenge for the death of his father when he grew up.
At this time the mother looked at him with a earnest gaze and asked him to promise, “If you meet a man named Lenora or Frank Vladimir, then, or someone else who has that last name — promise me, you won't tell me who you really are.”
“I promise, Bu.”
The touch of a hand on his shoulder made Antonio flinch, it turned out that the room was empty and he was daydreaming. Callie smiled at him and invited him back to the hotel where they were staying.
...----------------...
Yesterday's events made Erika and Antonio's relationship even more complicated, their time in Qatar is still a week away unless they get into the — semi-finals maybe they will be a little longer in the country.
Tonight when the team dinner to celebrate their first win — Erika opted absent to attend, as did Antonio. Tired of being in the room, Erika decided to take a walk in the hotel pool area, without her knowing Antonio was breathing fresh air in the park not far from where Erika was.
Suddenly from a distance Erika faintly heard someone screech, though afraid — Erika approached the origin of the sound, how surprised she was when she saw someone lying lifeless with a bite mark on her neck. This is a vampire, Erika murmured in her heart.
“Ka—kau ..”
Erika turned to the origin of the voice, within a hundred meters she could see Antonio standing there with a shocked face. Realizing that the man was misunderstanding him, Erika immediately moved away from the corpse.
“Bu—not me, please believe me! I found it like this and I'm sure it was a vampire.”
“You think who is a vampire among us?! It's just you and your friend Nicollete!” Antonio rebuked Erika. He really thought that the culprit was this beautiful doctor.
Antonio's form begins to change, fear provokes adrenaline in Erika's body and eventually forces her into a vampire form to protect herself. When Antonio was about to attack Erika — Nicollete appeared and brought Erika and the corpse to the desert some distance from the hotel.
After Erika was calm back to her human form, she looked at Nicollete with accusing eyes that were immediately refuted by the vampire waitress, “This is not my doing, indeed I drank human blood ... but I just stole the blood bags in the hospital.”
“If not you, then who else?!”
“There are other vampires near here besides the two of us, now is not the time to argue about who the culprit is, if this corpse we do not exterminate — he will rise into a vampire, after dying some time.” Erika realized with Nicollete's words, they finally looked for a way to eliminate the corpse without anyone knowing.
In this place — Antonio who returned again to human form, sitting limp on the edge of the pool. He was supposed to chase the two vampires, but the incident left him unable to move, deep in Antonio's little heart believing Erika to be a good vampire. But the corpse made her belief in Erika was extinct instantly.
While Erika and Nicollete are trying to eliminate the corpse that was bitten by a vampire other than them and Antonio who was pensive in the hotel pool, the, Lionel was inside his room with a satisfied smile while licking the remaining blood left at the corner of his lips. It was this man who did all that, he was Count Christoph Lionel, Erika's future fiancee.
