THE ETERNAL VAMPIRE SYSTEM

009 - THREE YEARS LATER

“Andreas.”

Andreas rubbed his eyes, trying to wake up from his deep sleep. As soon as his eyes opened completely, he felt that he was in a place quite foreign to him.

He immediately spread his eyes around the place. An arid and barren place, which was no stranger to him. Looks like he's seen that before.

“My kingdom,” murmured. “Why am I here? Am I dreaming? System, where are you?”

Andreas is confused because he returned to his kingdom a thousand years ago, when he was probably still there.

“Andreas.” A voice called out to him again.

“Who is it?” andreas asked puzzled by a voice that had called him and woke him up.

Then a female vampire was in front of her, holding her chin slowly.

Andreas was silent not to refuse or say anything, but suddenly his tears dripped slowly down his cheeks.

“Mom misses you,” she said the woman who turned out to be Mother Andreas.

“I-Mother, why is Mom here? Isn't Mom gone?” Andrew asked again.

“Who said Mother is gone, since the first Mother remains in your mind, Mother lives eternally there,” said the woman again. “You missed Mom, didn't you?”

Andreas could only nod at what the woman who confessed to his mother said earlier.

For a long time he had missed his mother, it was the death of his mother that made him cold and heartless. His mother was his first love, the first person who always cared about him.

“You want to come with Mom?”

Again Andreas could only nod when he heard it. The woman stretched out her hand, and Andreas grabbed it. He also stood up.

Followed the steps of the woman, but suddenly her head felt so painful, that it made her powerless to endure the pain.

The headache was like the banging of a wall repeatedly, until the brain inside shook violently.

He let go of the woman's hand, and then held her head. The woman kept calling him which made Andreas' head hurt even more.

Then Andreas shouted so loudly that he woke up and woke up. It turns out that it was all just a dream.

Even though it was a dream. But why does it feel so real? The headache was gone, but he could still feel it.

“System, are you there?” andreas asked to call his system.

[What's up, sir?]

“I'm a nightmare. Can you figure out what's going on? Is there something that will happen.”

[Search done ... Search done. No problem happened, it was just a nightmare and also your longing for Mother. However, as many things rubbed against the pain appeared, it caused Master to experience that nightmare. There is a heartache that does not heal]

A heartache that never heals?

Andreas doesn't understand what he means, he feels like all this time it's normal, no problem. From childhood until his death, he grew up to be a quiet and introverted person.

He does not care about the problems around, especially those that do not concern his problems. Maybe only about the death of his mother who previously suffered so much because of severe pain.

The rest is not there. Or indeed he forgot something, he forgot it too, which surely no matter what he remembered.

After that he decided to go back to sleep, because the night was still quite long. He needs to rest himself now.

***

Time passed so quickly, it did not feel Andreas is now 10 years old which means that three years have passed, since he felt something was wrong with the kingdom he now lives in.

However, in that period of time, he did nothing, because it was not his right to make changes, maybe he just needed to find out what really happened.

His parents had also realized it until all the knowledge he got. Until now, Andreas feels very bored.

The few years that passed by were also, having no other friends Andreas spent a lot of time with his father and mother who are pure vampire descendants.

Which is a blood witch that turns out to be very feared by many, but both of them hide their true identities, so not many know.

In addition, Andreas who has memories from his past, found that magic in this era is much decreased compared to his era. So he easily learned the magic that belonged to his father and mother.

He now sees the moon at night from his bedroom. He is now sitting on the bed, he is bored, because since this morning there is nothing he has to do.

“Not sleeping?” ask for a voice.

Andreas turned his body to find Lalita standing in the doorway as usual.

“Not sleepy, what's up, Mom?” ask back Andreas.

“Dad and Mom want to talk to you, come to us to the family room.”

Andreas nodded.

After that he got up from his seat and walked out of the room, to meet his parents.

It seems like they have something important to talk about, because they don't usually do that.

When we arrived at the family room there was already his father and mother. Andrew sat down near them.

“What's Dad, Mom?” ask her to open the conversation.

“Dad you think you've grown up, all the power and magic your father and mother have given you, now there's nothing more we can do, he said, so we decided to send you to the magic tower,” Alfred replied later.

“Magic tower? Where is it?”

Then Alfred said that the magic tower is a school for many nobles, there they learn magic, power to how to become a good noble.

Andrew had to do that so that he could be with the other nobles, so that he would have the same degree as them, even though their rank was different.

“When can I go there?” andreas asked as soon as Alfred finished with his words.

“One more week, because I have to take care of your incoming mail there, so when you're there you just need an entrance test.”

“Didn't you mind being away from Mom and Dad?” Now Lalita asked.

Andreas shook his head, then said, “I know that's the best thing I can do. I'm a noble's son I have to go with them, right? For that, Mom and Dad don't have to worry. I'll do whatever you want.”

Alfred and Lalita were no longer surprised by the words of Andreas again, because from the beginning they had realized that Andreas must have had a very mature mind, so from no wonder he can be that calm to live it all.

***

After the conversation was over they returned to their respective places, Andreas to his room as well as Alfred and Lalita.

While in the room Lalita was actually still thinking about what would happen to Andreas.

In the ten years since Andrew was born, he has always been around his family. He lived quietly with them all along.

As a mother, Lalita could not be so far from Andreas, but she had to do it, all for the sake of her later life.

“You still think about it?” alfred asked later, when he realized that Lalita was still silent. “Didn't you want Andreas to go to Tower.”

“It was me who wanted her to go, but as a mother I was so worried. He is our only child. I don't want to lose him.”

“Tak will no one lose Andreas, he to the Tower only for a few years. He was there for education, as a noble and also a witch after that he would definitely return.”

Lalita then took a deep breath, and tried to let go of Andreas later, which will still happen about one week, a long time.
