The Witch and the Vampire Prince

13 — Hallucinations

There's a strange feeling. Something's not right. It seems something different is happening.

Phyllis' eyes turned wide, wide open when she realized something strange had happened before. He woke up and sat up from his sleep. His gaze quickly turned towards the room door.

"Away awake?" ask the platinum-blinded young man. The long hair up to the waist covered part of his handsome face. But on the sidelines of the strands, the red eyes look closely watching Phyllis' response.

Phyllis said nothing. Once again he rubbed his eyes, rubbing them repeatedly. Pat her cheek and pinch her, hoping it's real. But on the other hand he also wanted this to be a dream. Because his mentality is not ready to face a surprising new thing.

A vampire whom Phyllis had longed for had come. Louis, stand by the door and lock it. His steps drew closer to the confused Phyllis on the bed.

"You miss me, don't you?" asked Louis and sat on the lip of the bed. A sad look and a thin smile. Phyllis couldn't stand to see it.

Slowly the girl came back to tears as she recalled how devastated she had been this year. Phyllis approached and hugged Louis. It's real, he's not translucent to the touch. Phyllis could feel that warmth again. He could feel Louis' hands clutching him tightly.

In the midst of his cries, Louis stretched out a hug and pulled Phyllis' nape. He turned back to those tiny lips. Suck it. This time Phyllis replied.

The long-standing longing lodged in the heart began to explode. Can't be arrested anymore. The two immediately lay there, stripping off whatever was in the way, and allowing themselves to enjoy the coveted euphoria.

When the two were in love on the bed, two other figures were standing in front of the wooden house. They just stayed there staring upstairs. His smile looked bitter and looked at each other.

Merlin and Louve. The couple turned around and left the house. Don't forget Merlin made a very strong protector. At the end it forced Merlin to turn into a black cat again.

Louve immediately took him away, going to the spring. On the riverbank, the river that Charlie once came to look for Merlin and Phyllis.

"Charlie. I want to talk to Merlin" Louve said at the riverbank.

Charlie descends from Louve's sling and transforms into Merlin. The werewolf girl knew Merlin's limits weren't as bad as last year anymore. Actually, Merlin also trained his magic and controlled the energy he used so as not to get tired quickly.

It's just that Charlie was still carried away worried if Merlin fainted on the spot from exhaustion.

Merlin approached the Louve, then sat down next to him. They occupied a large rock on the edge of the shallow river. Clear water flows casually. A voice that calms the soul. Both enjoyed the atmosphere that morning.

Louve's smile hasn't faded since Merlin turned human again. Merlin's hand was embracing his small waist. The distance between them is growing.

"Linlin, are you sure?" ask Louve.

Merlin looked over and smiled. The calm expression slowly made Louve's heart even more docile.

"Related. Just tell Uncle Gill and Aunt Gill" Merlin replied. Louve simply looked at him, then leaned her head on Merlin's shoulder.

"At the end Louis met Phyllis, yes. I didn't think she was brave" Louve said, closing her eyes.

"We just need to find the right explanation for them. We've been covering it for a year." Louve simply nodded, agreeing with Merlin's invitation.

A year ago when the vampire was burned. It was true that they burned the vampires, but one escaped. Of course it was Louis.

A vampire—let alone a vampire kingdom—have high magical powers. Louis is one of them. It has the power to create illusions. In their eyes, Louis burns along with the vampire bodyguards. But Louis has been making illusions since he was in the kitchen with Phyllis.

At that time Louis stayed in the room and made a shadow of himself. At a distance, Louis controlled his shadow. When the werewolves return, they drag Louis' unreal body and burn it.

While they are rumbling downstairs, Louve runs upstairs to retrieve Charlie. It was in that room that Louis told everything to Louve, Charlie, and Merlin. Fourthly collaborating.

At that time Louis would return to the vampire kingdom and attend the engagement. But he'll see Phyllis after everything's done. During that time, Louis challenges Merlin to strengthen his magic. Because his return to Phyllis is likely to cause a lot of trouble.

One of them clashes with the werewolf race because Merlin accepts vampires in his life. In any case, as an older brother supporting his sister, Merlin would not prevent Phyllis' feelings. He did not want to make his sister far from love. Although eventually the relationship with the werewolf is tenuous, but Merlin only wants to make his sister happy.

Merlin and Louve have made a promise to stay together. Although the Gilbert family will not want to deal with the Cayenne, Louve will remain next to Merlin and be his life companion.

Lenguhan satisfied to finish the activities on the white mattress. The bed was no longer heard. Now only the sound of hunting breath becomes the background of their friendly kissing sound. The morning sport is over. Louis lay down next to Phyllis, then embraced the girl.

Both hugged tightly. Louis didn't stop kissing Phyllis. His smile continued to be etched on his lips.

"I love you" whispered Louis. Phyllis just kept quiet and drowned her face in Louis' chest. The vampire chuckled at Phyllis' timid behavior.

For a long time they enjoyed this relaxed atmosphere, until Phyllis broke the blanket of silence. Slowly the girl took off her embrace and got up from her sleep. He sat on the bed.

"Louis. How's engagement?" phyllis asked without looking at Louis. Louis smiled bitterly, then got up and sat down next to Phyllis.

"Fluent. A year ago I got engaged to Alice."

The response made Phyllis surprised. His heart is twitching, painful. It feels tight in the chest. His body was goosebumps from the bottom to the tip of his head because of his sad feelings.

Louis approaching. Her hands were embracing Phyllis' waist, but the girl refused and turned away. The vampire did nothing more and let Phyllis indulge her emotions.

"Then?" phyllis asked wanting to know the continuation even though her heart was struggling.

"I'm just engaged, not married" Louis explained, making Phyllis turn to him.

From Phyllis's countenance, the girl was confused. "What does that mean?"

"I said I was engaged. But I don't agree with marriage. Our relationship hangs. My father always persuaded me to get married and sit on the king's throne, but I couldn't" Louis replied, justifying his position to face Phyllis.

"Why can't it?" ask Phyllis again.

Louis's hand moved toward Phyllis' neck, precisely at the sign she gave him a year ago. "Because I've marked you. Marking bites are generally used only for couples. And I assume we've been a couple ever since the partynee agreement" Louis replied as he stroked Phyllis' cheek gently.

Phyllis was silent for a while, digesting Louis's absurd explanation for him. Then he breathed heavily.

"But our agreement used to be just a couple for this experiment, you know," Phyllis said trying to circumvent it.

Louis smiled, then shook his head slowly. "Phyllis darling. Don't you know what vampire and witch relationships look like?"

"There really is?"

"There was. I also only found out after studying for a year. Let's get your clothes on. We'll talk downstairs and drink some milk" Louis asked and got out of bed. He helps Phyllis to stand up and wear clothes.

Lovingly, Louis wore Phyllis' white shirt to the small body. Tidying up the brown hair that began to be long, only after Louis confirmed his pants. Down the stairs with Phyllis and continue to guide her so as not to fall. Because Louis realized that the activity was enough to drain Phyllis' energy.

Arriving in the kitchen, Louis immediately prepared breakfast and warm milk for Phyllis and herself.
