The Lost Prince's

The Lost Prince's
Chapter 14 On The Other Side



I thought I shouldn't have left the day


these. Humphire becomes noisier than usual. Yesterday the day after


there are rumors that the vampire prince was among Humphire's disciples. The disciples


vampires have often debated who is the real one


the lost prince. Some people consider it an opportunity to approach


and siding with the prince, there are also those who discuss secretly


planning to expose his secret. They were all completely dissolved in


prove the rumor.


"You're not curious to look for it either, either,


Key?", asked Arion when we practiced the sword yesterday.


"Why should I be curious?"


"Yesterday, you were good too


curious about our prince. So I guess this time it's that way"


I'm shaking. "Absolutely. Make anyways


the prince also came to Humphire. If he wants to hide, he


it's impossible to get here"


Arion straightened the mineral water from the bottle. Her eyes


looks at me full of search. "Then what if he doesn't want to


hide out?"


Also true. I almost forgot that Arion too


his follower. Arion wishes the prince back. "Then it's possible


just. But why come to school?"


Arion shrugged both of his shoulders. He can't either


guessing the purpose of his prince.


"Gathering an army, maybe?", I asked


guessing. A prince would need an army to return to his seat.


Arion also agreed to that possibility.


Apparently the conjectures of most disciples were the same as well, which caused them to break apart


become two camps. Really noisy. Even the deserted corner of the library so


not as lonely as usual. From the beginning my hearing was sharp, so


my ears are sharper than any other vampire.


A sound of footsteps approached my place


sit. I recognised. That's the principal of Humphire, prof. Quinton.


"I'm quite surprised you're in a place like


this, miss Wilder", she said as soon as I got in front of the seat where I was sitting.


"But still, your resilience is much more shocking"


The resilience? This old man wants to talk to me


drinking blood again. Very inconvenient. "Are you also looking for a book,


professor?"


Profs. Quinton. "I might know


more than those books" he said. "You won't


find it here, miss Wilder. Accept that vampire side for your own good


by myself"


My eyes grew, not believing what I heard.


How did he know what I was trying to tell you.


Profs. Quinton turned around and started to walk


he left, but he continued speaking. "I think you already know, though,


your time is not long. Ah, one more. Killing your master is not a path either


out to not be mad vampire"


My hair stands. What the fuck is that old vampire?


He doesn't know me and we never even talk more than a few


secs. How can he know what I'm trying to do and what


i wanted. As if he could read my mind. But that's not possible.


Despite how great and irrational vampire talent is, there can be no one


like those.

After school another unexpected thing greeted me. Karen cut her hair short. Her hair is now only as long as her chin. When I grow my hair, Karen lengthens it


aslo. But now he cut it. Karen did not ask


opinion first. Not like Karen usually.


"What's so bad?" asked Karen. Her lips


drifting a little, putting on a scruffy face.


Which might be ugly, right? Karen's little face


chubby under his cheekbones, blond hair, his big bright blue eyes


and a smile that never escaped that face. He looks like a puppet.


"Sweet" I said.


Karen smiled back. "Sister.no angry right?"


"Why should I be angry?" I don't understand where he's going.


"I lengthened my hair following brother,


because I want to be like a sister, even if it's just a little. Although only limited


the same length of hair. But honestly, I don't just want to imitate my sister


from the outside only"


I'm still not sure where this conversation is going.


And I just kept quiet and didn't budge.


"From a long time ago, I always wanted to be like a sister.


Beautiful, smart and strong. That's why I always bother you. I really don't


as smart and strong as big brother, but I want to fight as hard as I can. Maybe I didn't


he will never be like a brother. I want to be strong with


my own way"


Ah. I know now. It's still a matter of joining


with hunter. It's been a week and Karen and I don't argue about it anymore.


"Karen..." Damnit. I can't find


the right words after hearing Karen's words earlier.


"I'll join the vampire hunter. And


my decision will not change even if my sister forbids it" Karen said.


The firmness in his words reflected also in the reflected shadow


lovely eyes.


After saying all that, what did he expect


untik. He used the praise up front and then revealed his intentions.


He even said he wouldn't change it. I just stared at him flat.


There's nothing I can say.


I rushed up the stairs, towards my room.


Something felt ringing in my head. But this time it wasn't blood


vampirism. I still have a lot of stamina after falling asleep in the library


a few days ago. After changing clothes I grabbed my bow and jumped


out the window. Running at full speed into the forest. No


someone wants to follow me. I need some alone time. After passing the river


in the middle of the forest, I began to search for my target and aim for it. Gathers


concentration and slow down your breath while aiming always work to


cleared my mind. Drifting in concentration I forget time. I


I can't remember how long I was in the woods until the sound


a familiar one suddenly appeared next to me. I almost attacked him


with dagger.


"You want to kill all the birds here or


how?", asked Zero as flat as usual. Next to her hand


my attack.


I took my hand, took a step back. Bemuse


just. Since when is he here? And again why didn't I hear it coming?


"God! Look at that!", cried Arion who


just following. He ran to pick up some birds that were lying stiff in the


the ground. "Everything is right in the left eye. You're really talented Key. If


like this there is no need to be a swordsman nor is it okay"


"What are you guys doing here?”


“Preventing bird” extinction,


zero said without emotion. Her topaz blue eyes were staring around us,


watching the birds without life on the ground.


Arion laughed a little. “We


smells a lot of blood. So we're here to make sure of the state of”


Zero wasn't home.


I don't know what the business is, but lately he's been going alone. And Arion


it might have come to train me. But it seems like a coincidence


they come together. Like Zero didn't just play to Arion's house or


sort of. He was still indifferent to the bothered Arion


find him and persuade him to go home. It's not that I care about him, it's just that Arion


it doesn't deserve to be treated that way.


“Friends, how about


we have dinner in the middle of the forest?”, asked Arion. He raised both his hands


holding the legs of some birds. Her warm smile expanded and light


the twilight sun reflected gently in her emerald green eyes. Our


I understand Arion's intent. He wanted to make a bonfire like that time, though,


then burned some birds. Zero snorted softly, but he didn't


resist.


Arion laughed softly looking


reaction Zero. Then he immediately volunteered to look for firewood. I'm off


behind the trees, take the other birds that hit my arrow. Nibble


my lower lip, horrified at my own actions when I realized I had


picking up the tails of 20 more birds. Seems


I have a serious problem controlling my own emotions.


I should've told Karen the reason I didn't agree to it was to


own safety. I'm the one who's gonna settle our grudges on


vanblood. Karen doesn't need to be involved any further.


When I get back to the place


Zero and Arion, the bonfire's on. And they are cleaning


birds on the banks of small rivers. I got closer to that bonfire, put down


the birds I brought. Then take a few twigs and sharpen one


side to be made of puncture. The air tonight is cold, actually since morning


it was cold. I glanced at the bonfire that was burning brightly in the dark.


They can also make a fire this fast. All the branches that


I found it wet and cold. While Zero and Arion did not bring


matches in the pocket, considering they don't smoke.


Dinner was fun.


Even though the air is really cold. Arion tells various interesting stories


about the underworld. I'm not interested in vampire life,


for some reason the story remains interesting when Arion is saying. Arion


very sensitive to read the atmosphere, as if he could always know someone's mood


only from his eyes. But he said nothing, asked nothing.


Soon after, Shane caught up with us. He was curious because we didn't


get back home soon. I have to admit, at times like this I almost forgot


if we are not human. Or maybe I wish I was, deep inside


little hearts.
