The Cursed Moon

Episode 16: Hellen's House

Three silver bullets were fired at the vampire. Silver bullets can't beat that vampire..

The vampire threw the silver bullet back at the Wave, lucky to have avoided it.

" How is it possible, he threw back his bullets?! "

The vampire instantly attacked and sucked up the Wave energy, suffocating the man.

Ice rushed around the vampire, making it difficult for the vampire to move.

" Wave!! You all right? " Lia was now kneeling near the limp Wave.

" Lia, look out!! " call exclaimed as he ran towards Lia. The vampire charged towards Lia at lightning speed.

A slight scratch from the vampire's fingernail hurt Lia, Carl who had come directly slammed the vampire and pushed the vampire away from Lia.

As soon as the vampire left, it disappeared like smoke in the light of the full moon in the night sky. Leaving the Hellen family, Lia and also Wave.

" Eat this, you'll get better" Carl said, giving some herbal leaves to Wave.

While Lia who sat a little far from the others, approached Justin. Justin stared at the scratch wound on the girl's hand.

" Come on, Carl can heal you" Justin said as he pulled Lia's hand. Justin stopped in surprise.

The scratches on Lia's hand slowly disappeared, for some reason. I wonder why it could be like that.

Carl and the Hellen family finally bring Lia and Wave to their home.

In the evening, Wave had improved a little and Lia, now went around the white house. They didn't expect that the Hellen family would have a house this big.

" Have you ever been around this house? " Wave asked in surprise, because Lia also stared at the amazement of the contents of this house. It was as if the first time he had seen the contents of this house.

" It was before, after that. Maybe because of that, so I'm amazed again.. " Lia grinned as she walked slowly to stop in a long hallway.

The hallway was quite bright, there were countless paintings in the hallway. Until Lia's attention was turned to a painting.

In the painting, Carl stands with the vampire Enchantress, Blaise, Zenith, and Aaron.

" You confused, huh, Lia? "

Lia and Wave turned their heads, seeing Carl walking slowly towards Lia and Wave.

" We used to be friends, so don't be too dizzy with the painting" Carl said, smiling at the painting. Her soft hands were now gently stroking Lia's hair.

" Why did this happen? I mean, your three friends are "

" It's quite a long story, I don't think you like this long old-fashioned story very much. " Carl laughed softly as she walked away from Lia and Wave. Heading into a room.

" Dorr!! "

Lia screamed, then hit Justin on the shoulder when she saw the curly-haired guy startle her.

" Haha, come along! Lance and Joshua were playing the match" Justin said as he pulled Lia's hand, leaving Wave still curious about Carl and choosing to follow Carl into the room.

" I didn't think you were coming here, Wave. "

" Yes, Lia went with Justin to see Joshua and Lance fight." Wave said as he stared around.

" I've heard about the three people who were in the painting with you. They're Enchantresses, right? How can you be friends with them, and what happens? "

Carl smiled softly as he put down his book, Wave sat on one of the chairs while looking at Carl who was sitting in front of him.

" I became friends with them in 1870, when we were on good terms with each other. They were the strongest vampires I knew, until we got separated from each other because of different schools. "

" We met again in 1920, when I was with my wife, Clara. They chose to stay away from me because Clara was still a human. And, after the plague ran rampant there, Clara was treated at the hospital where I worked. "

" Yeah, I bit him, don't want to. At that time I met my five children now. "

" In 1950, we met again. The difference is they have formed the Enchantress. Honestly, they asked me to be a part of the Enchantress. But I refused, and until now we never communicated with each other again. "

Carl looks at Wave who seems to be trying to digest the story Carl tells.

" And they're after you, because you're friends with Lia? " Wave muttered softly, Carl smiled as he walked around.

" Yeah, but it's okay. Lia, and you I already consider to be my family. So, I'm not gonna let you guys do anything. "

Meanwhile, Lia and Justin are in the backyard, Joshua and Lance are seen looking at each other.

" You're going to lose, Lance. " Joshua exclaimed, preparing to run as fast as he could.

The race, that's what they're fighting for. Joshua and Lance, the fastest among the five, made the game exciting.

" Come on Lance!! Go Joshua!! " Excited Lia when Joey had already thrown a stone as a sign of their little match starting.

A few minutes later, Joshua and Lance ran back. Their position is parallel, speeding up their run to first reach the finish line.

" I won!! " I cried Lance when Chris said that Lance won.

" Haha... I thought you were going to win, Lance. "Joshua said briefly, Lance just chuckled softly.

A woman suddenly approached them. The girl had long brown hair, her face as pale as Justin and the others.

" I'm home, sorry to be late" said the girl. When the six people turned their heads, Lia looked at the girl. Is she Justin's mother and the others?

" Cla, when are we? " said Carl who suddenly appeared behind Lia, no matter when Carl was there.

" Lia, this is my wife Clara Hellen. Clara, this is Justin's friend Verolia Charlotte. " Carl introduced a brief, Clara and Lia hugging each other, making Lia a little surprised.

" You're so beautiful, Lia" said Clara as she hugged Lia.

" Thank you, ma'am. " murmured Lia. At first he suspected Carl and his wife would not accept him, let alone his wife. He did not expect, he was welcomed here.

" Call Clara, don't be so polite" said Clara as she alternately hugged Justin and the others.

At night, Lia was asleep. Justin, Joshua and the others are in the library, Carl's room.

" I'm sorry to interrupt your night time" Carl said, staring at the clock at 12 p.m.

" What's up, Carl? I think your call this time is important. "

" I'm worried about Lia. I'm also worried that Cursed Moon will happen again... "
