"I know," continued Ara.
But Ara missed her family too much. So that one night he slipped out while Zen was away. He just wanted to see his family from a distance, so determined in his heart.
From behind the darkness of the night, Ara could see even though her family was faintly gathered in the living room.
They seemed to be conversing with not so happy faces. Father, Mother and her two little sisters. Ara was eager to run towards them and hug their bodies one by one.
But Ara could only shed tears from her eyes without being able to do anything about it.
They must be very worried about me, Ara turned her body around and gradually left.
His steps were weak as if he was tired. Even though he's not tired. The night is getting late and he has to get back before Zen finds him not home when he gets home.
Ara's steps stopped. A little boy was sitting crouching not far from where he was standing. The boy was crying alone. Under the garden lights that glowed dimly.
Ara tried to get closer. He rebuked the boy in a soft voice.
"Why are you here alone? Where's yourhouse?"reprimand Ara while rubbing the little boy's hair.
The little boy raised his face and looked at Ara. He didn't answer. The remains of tears still appear on her cheeks.
Ara looked at the child without blinking. Something is starting to take hold of him. His nose caught the fragrant scent of something from the little boy's body. It generates desire within him.
Ara began to bring her face closer to the little boy. Slowly but surely. Ara began to bite the little boy's neck while both of her hands held onto the child's shoulder to keep it from moving. Ara sucked the blood of the boy on and on like a thirsty man.
Until finally the child's body collapsed and did not move anymore. He's out of blood!
Ara only realized that the child had died. He stared at the child's wrinkled face.
I killed him, Inner Ara. Body shaking.
"Hey!! What are you doing?!"
Ara was stunned to hear that scream. He saw a man looking at him with a suspicious look.
He panicked and made a decision as soon as possible. Ara fled.
He fled before anyone else came. He ran as fast as he could.
It's strange! Ara darted like the wind. He had never been able to run so fast before.
Zen welcomed Ara's arrival with a look of wonder.
"Where are you from?"zen's impatient."Didn't I tell you you can't see them."
"What's wrong?"urged Zen.He shook Ara's shoulder slowly.
"I killed him" murmured Ara."I killed him, Zen. I'm a murderer!"
Ara was screaming hysterically.
"Relax..."Zen tried to calm Ara's heart.
"I killed the boy, Zen. I'm a murderer!"yell Ara again. Along with sobs.
Zen understands. He immediately grabbed Ara's body into his arms. To calm Ara's turbulent heart.
"Calm down" whispered Zen."All vampires would've done that."
"But you never did, did you?"tanya Ara chimed in.
Zen shook his head. Zen has never killed a human being.
"I have brought you into my world" Zen said later."I'll take responsibility for what you're doing, Ara. I promise to always take care of you. So don't ever get away from my side. Youunderstand?"
Ara nodded.
"I'm sorry" said Ara.
"I love you Ara,"the friendly Zen whisper near Ara's ear. "Because of love I can do anything, including change destiny. I didn't know love could make me this crazy."
Ara smiled thinly.
"I've never heard you say love me."Zen released his embrace on Ara. "Did you never love me?"zen asked suspiciously.
Ara sighed.
"I don't know" answered Ara."All I know is I just have to live well by your side."
Zen frowned.
"Is that all?"
"Aren't you satisfied with my answer?"
"Lumayan."
