Chapter 7 7

"This is your fault because you made her our child. Now, the entire village will be in an uproar, and they will ask you to step down from your position as the village head."

I was shocked to hear what my parents were saying. So, I wasn't their biological child? Then who was I, and how did I become their child?

"How could you, Vara, our child."

"Are you stupid? Vara has always seemed strange even when we brought her home. She had peculiarities with the neck wound."

"I know that, but we have something else."

"What else?!"

Slowly, I couldn't hear their conversation until I felt a pair of eerie eyes staring at me.

"Why am I free from the cellar? Who released me?" I kept asking inside my head, although I couldn't find any answers.

"You, naughty child."

My father grabbed my hand forcefully and took me into a car, driving me away from the village.

"Where is Father taking me?"

"Stay there, Vara. Father will protect you."

"Protect me? From whom and why?"

"It's not the right time for you to know who you are."

I remained silent, holding my slightly aching head. My head hurt, and I felt like sleeping.

"Sleep, at least it's good for your body."

Slowly, I closed my eyes, not hearing any sounds and not knowing what was happening around me.

"Vara, wake up, my child."

"Father?"

"Vara, wake up."

I saw a large castle in front of me. Was Father going to marry me off to a prince and let me live peacefully inside there?

"Where is this, Father?"

"An asylum. You'll live peacefully and safely here, and no one will disturb you."

"But why did Father bring me here? I don't mind my life in the village school."

"Not anymore, Vara."

I strongly refused and ran away, leaving my father behind. I kept running to go home, I really didn't want to be in the asylum, leaving David, who was in a chaotic situation.

"Vara?"

"David!!"

I ran into his arms, hugging him tightly, and cursing behind his back.

"Please, take me far away from Father."

"Alright."

David's hand tightly held mine as he led me away from my father's pursuit until our footsteps brought us face to face with Clair.

"How long do you intend to hide your identity, Vampire?"

"Vampire?" I asked, very confused, looking into her eyes.

"You've hurt the villagers too much already. Go away from me now!! David, go back to the castle immediately."

"Clair, let her find peace."

"There's no time for that, David. Let Arnold suck her blood and make her realize that she's a Vampire!"

"Wait, am I a vampire?" I asked again, just to make sure if what they were saying was true or not.

"You're a vampire, your soul resists the fact that you are a vampire, that's why you didn't realize you've hurt many villagers."

I was shocked, making my head ache. My hands slowly grabbed my hair tightly, frustrated that I couldn't accept the reality that I might be a vampire.

"I'm a vampire? No, I'm not a vampire, I'm just an ordinary woman. What's wrong with the villagers here? They've gone insane to call me a vampire. No, there must be a real vampire who has hurt my fellow villagers, I have to find them."

I kept muttering to myself, I couldn't accept the reality that I might actually be a vampire. It was impossible. I slowly opened my eyes, seeing David, the man I loved, sensually biting Clair's neck and drinking her blood. My heart ached terribly.
