One Bite to Another (English Version)

"I don't get all of this, Mom! Dad!" he exclaimed quickly, turning to face his parents and trying to hold back a much stronger emotion.

I rolled my eyes in annoyance. Humans! They never changed! They are constantly overreacting as if the world's bad luck had collapsed on their backs.

"Last time I checked, you wanted me to dump my girlfriend because you don't want me to marry, and now you're telling me this!" I felt the intensity of every word that came out of his mouth. I remained calm and standing while he was acting as if no one could hear his outburst.

And again, typical human, they didn't care for others because they only want to release their intense rage without thinking. They are self-centered as usual. It is not that surprising to know after all.

"Will you quit it? You whine like a pregnant woman!" I coldly stated but he threw a sharp glare at me but I remained calm and compose. That glare will not make him go anywhere.

"Shut it lady! You're just a woman hiding behind that dark red cloak!" he said replicating my coldness and he skimmed my cloak that is covering my whole body. I am indeed wearing a red dark cloak with a hood and a piece of cloth hiding most of my face.

"Don't you dare talk back human, no one has ever given me orders!" I exclaimed as I lost my temper. He is making my blood boil as intense as it can be.

But I wanted to admire his sturdiness because he didn't budge despite my deadly glare. Nice! A tough one indeed! I want to calm myself but I felt my anger wanting to escape beyond my control. I really hate it here!

The heavy glare between us continued. But after a second a nervous heart beat started to escape from his chest. His glare were transformed into an intense fear and nervousness. I sensed how quickly his body became stiff and cold.

I felt his strong urge to run away from us because of how frighten he is right now. I flashed a bitter smile under the piece of cloth. How ironic! Humans are afraid of monsters like me but they are not aware about the fact that they are the most destructive kind of monster.

He is the one who looked away as I turned back the normal color of my eyes after it turned into a flaming red that caused the fear that he is feeling right now throughout his whole body.

"You want me to marry a freaking monster?" he exclaimed and faced his parents again that are not capable of doing anything.

"Do you want me to die? Mom? Dad?" he stated with such irritation that his body became too stiff while his parents are trembling with fear and nervousness.

"They won't hurt you Mino," his father said in attempt to calm him down.

"Son please! Just hear us out!" his mother pleaded as she finally had the courage to speak up.

"Stop calling me your son because the moment that you give me to this monsters you must forget that you have a son!" he exclaimed with such intense that showcased how deep his anger is towards his parents.

His dad quickly supported his wife as she almost lost her balance due to the harsh words their only child had stated.

"Is this the way you show your gratitude to them?" I said plainly as I felt my mother's right hand being laid on top of my hand that is resting on the table. She tried to tell me to stop arguing with the mortal.

"I thought that your son is aware about this Rosanna but he looks so surprised," my uncle stated that remained calm and compose while he is standing besides me. The way he talked gave away the fact that he has authority and a royalty.

"We plan to tell it to him but you arrived to quickly," her mother answered while shuttering and lowering her head to avoid my uncle's gaze.

"So you're blaming us now? We had given you years to prepare him for this and this is what we get? You are not obeying the scripture!" my mother stated intensely while she is standing straightly and her hands were clasp together on her front. The fact that she is a queen is obvious by her own posture.

"When did humans took their words seriously?" I sarcastically said that caused their trembling to intensify. I smirked. They will not be this afraid if they really plan to obey the agreement.

"You don't know how to obey and you will lose him earlier than expected," uncle stated making each word as heavy as he can. I felt how my mortal mate made himself alert and ready for a fight. I can't stop myself from smirking bitterly. This reality is really hard for me to accept.

It is a really hard pill to swallow. I feel belittled and ashamed!

"Have mercy! We can't afford loosing our son!" his father quickly shouted and pulled his son behind his back to hide him from us.

"Get your hands off me! You monster!" the mortal tried to resist as my uncle swiftly went on his father's back and grabbed our target's shoulder.

"It has been said and done!" my uncle coldly stated and I instantly felt how the temperature dropped while my uncle is controlling the air as his eyes begun to change in color. The mortals tried to fight the urge to close their eyes but my uncle's power is way stronger than their might.

After a second, my arms were occupied by the mortal's body that can't do anything but to have his fit of rage. I caught him after he lost his consciousness while uncle had his parents on both of his arms.

"I look like a pathetic woman that will die if I can't have a man in my life!" I hissed towards my uncle because of how my image is being pictured with this unfortunate need.

"Vreihya! Let's just talk when we are back to the palace," my mother stated while my uncle is carrying the mortals on his opposite shoulders like a sack of rice.

"Good idea mother, this human world is indeed sickening," I stated without emotions. For the many instance that I traveled back and forth to this world for a long time, I saw how people tried to kill, fool and tricked each other. How many wars, famine, cruelty and poverty had filled my eyes? This is a chaotic world if you ask me.

Our world isn't perfect but we know how to obey the law that our Goddess has set upon us. Our world is far from the mortal world that seems to be lawless or doesn't care at all about the presence of it.

I am a royalty and it is true that I had a thirst for blood. I am a frightening creature that no one will ever wish to encounter. I am indeed a monster for small minded human. I am one of those who glow when the light of the moon embrace our pale skin. I have fangs, sharp nails and flaming red eyes but is it an acceptable basis to label us as monsters?

But on my world we are the most powerful, the most respected, the most beautiful species to ever rule them. We are not like the way how people had pictured us. Books and legends were written to make us look like a cursed creature, they make us look like we are from the dark side. But in reality we are more special and more precious than mortals.

I can't still fully comprehend this nonsense! I am adored by a bunch of vampire that they almost down on their knees just to lay a touch and make me their possession yet this silly mortal refused me that easily? He is really getting into my nerves!

I sat on the cold floor of the palace while the mortal is hanging upside down. My chin is on tap of my palm while my elbow rested on top of my left knee as my legs were crisscrossed. He is sleeping peacefully while I am here still processing the idea that I need to marry him.

He is just a human and there is nothing special about it. Are they belittling me? I am a royal vampire but a low kind race is fated to be tied with me. This is pure madness and disrespect! This is such a shame!

This is bullshit!

A couple of minutes had passed and I witnessed how he slowly opened his eyes. A shocked expression quickly registered on his face upon seeing me in front of him from a distant. He tried to move and free himself from the rope that is wrap around his feet.

This caused the rope to turn together with his body into a 360 degrees circle. "Quit moving human! You're making your situation worst!" I stated coldly to make him aware about my presence. But he acted like a deft person. He didn't said anything back or even look at me. He continued to move aggressively in attempt to free himself.

My blood immediately boiled because of his rudeness. I quickly straighten my back and raised my hand. I made a thin blade with the air to cut the rope and he started to scream when his about to fall head first on the cold floor.

I gestured again to stop his body from falling and turned his body in the right way but his feet are still not touching the floor. I controlled his body to face me. And then I saw his wholeness again and I admit that I found him very attractive due to that physic and handsome facial features of him.

I will admit that I can't stop myself to stare the moment I saw him. But now, he is still stiff while floating in the mid air with my power.

"I don't do business with a monster!" he stated intensely despite knowing my kind and my capability to snap his neck in a matter of seconds. He didn't plan to filter or choose his words carefully when talking back at me. That's intriguing!

"So do I with a pathetic human," I replied with irritation and bitterness. I will not let you step on me because who do you think you are? I need something from you that's why I still have the guts to stand here and look at you or to deal with any of this.

"Woah! Look at you! You're the one who approached me to marry you. I will not let that happen so dream on!" he said sarcastically and then I snapped.

I stood up quickly and closed my fist that caused him to be pulled into my direction. His eyes widened while staring at me because of our small distance. I felt the heat on my eyes as it changes its color into a scarlet red.

"Lend me your ears mortal! No one dared to refuse me! I can get all the men I want as many as I please but I am here stuck with a weak creature!" I hissed at him. He will pay for this kind of mockery! I am Vreihya Amely Zecillion and I will never let a foul mouthed human to belittle me!

"How can a man plead for a woman hiding herself behind that thick cloak? Do you have a nasty disease? Or maybe your just freaking ugly!" he replied sarcastically at me. You are really something! You don't have any fear in your body or for your self! You're too confident for a human!

"Damn! Don't use your human language of mockery against me!" I said angrily. Yes! My patience is nowhere to be found right now. I am on the end of the thread! My patience is as short as my pinky! I am a royalty and everyone should respect me!

"I don't take orders from monsters!" he coolly stated as if my anger is nothing for him. Am I a joke for him? I had enough! I threw off my hand that caused him to flew away and slumped his back on the bricked wall. He immediately shouted due to intense pain.

I tried hard to calm myself because I don't want to end up killing him. There are other important things to do than to end his existence. Uncle also reminded me to not inflict any harm on him as he try to find out why this human is the only cure for my sickness and why the hell I need to marry him.

Uncle will never know that I lost my temper that caused the human to be slumped on the wall. The moment he landed on the cold floor I turned my back away from him. But I stopped the moment I heard his slow heavy breathing.

"What is it that you want from me? I don't understand a single thing!" he said while he is trying really hard to catch his breath. I also breathed heavily to utter the words that even me is having a hard time to believe. It is something that I genuinely refuse and wanted to escape.

"You are going to be the father of my child!" I replied coldly because of how hard for me to accept and live with it. Those are the last words that I uttered before I snapped my fingers an he lost his consciousness.

*Flashback*

"Mother? Mother? Where are you?" I shouted while stuttering as my little voice filled the air. I cried once again because of the pinning pain on my little chest. My heart is literally burning in the cause that I can't comprehend.

"Mother! I can't take it any longer!" I screamed once more as the pain intensifies. I can feel fear and nervousness all over my system as questions and uneasiness swallowed my little body. I can bare any intense pain in my body. I am too weak for that kind of sufferings.

I tighten my grip on my chest with my tiny hand as I felt another set of tears escaping my eyes. I can't breath with ease because there is a lump on my throat that causing me this panic. I am scared inside and out.

My situation is getting worse day by day. I used to keep it in and ignore the pain yet today is different from before. I feel like I am on the edge of my life as it makes my heart tighter with every beat.

"Vreihya! Iha! Calm down!" my mother shouted even though she is quite far as I can sense her running quickly on the hall way. She is calming me down yet her voice is full of panic. She always feel worried whenever I encounter any kind of pain whether it's a plain scratch or a bleeding tiny wound.

She quickly entered the room that caused the door to have a loud thud. She swiftly lifted my body away from the cold marbled floor of the palace. I am only nine years old yet it feels like fate wants to end my existence right at this very moment. I can feel how my mother's body started to tremble yet she is giving all her might to hide her panic and appear as strong as she can be.

"Mother! It hurts so much! What is happening to me?" I asked while struggling to say every word. I don't know why this is happening to me lately and why I am the only vampire that is suffering with this while the other vampire with the same age as mine are not having any trouble with this.

I continued my loud crying while she is embracing me ever so tightly in her arms. Just like how she does every time that I am in pain. She panicked as she tapped my cheek repeatedly while my eyes are starting to get blurry. I felt like my strength and life source exiting my tiny body. Am I dying while this young?

"Vreihya! Your body is seeking the mortal", my mother exclaimed in extreme panic that I can't focus on. My body is seeking for what?

"Mother please do anything! I can't hold on much longer! Mother please!" I cried for help and assurance. This pain might be deadly but I will never let this take me away from my mother. I am her only treasure in this world and I knew deep into my heart that her heart will bleed to death with my untimely death.

"Find me a cure! I beg of you!" I begged her as I felt weaker and unable to move an inch.

"I am not capable of doing anything my child! He is your only cure," she said sadly that caused me to feel puzzled and clueless. Who is the "he" that my beloved mother is talking about? All of the sudden I heard her cry that doubled the pain that I am already feeling. Please mother! Don't cry! You're breaking my painful heart.

"What is causing this pain mother?" I asked despite the fact that I can't even hear myself speaking. I want to be enlighten right now. I feel that my forbearance of not getting any idea about this is long enough to cut off my patience.

"You're not on the right age to understand everything," she quickly replied while biting her lower lip to stop the sobs that are trying to escape.

My mother alerted herself again when a new sets of screams exited my mouth due to this unbearable pain. River of tears flowed down from my eyes together with a blinding red light coming from my painful chest. I screamed on top of my lungs as fear invaded my whole body as this strange light started to grew bigger.

I don't know what to think or do and everything was cut off when the light went darker in shade as my chest became more painful that feels like something is ripping my heart open. " Mother! Mother! I am scared!" I screamed while my lips are trembling together with my intense outburst of fresh new tears. Her embrace became tighter as I almost fell from her arms due to my intense movements.

"Please stop! I am begging! Please stop!" I repeatedly screamed on top of my lungs as if my mother can do anything about this just to stop or ease the pain. I can't even hear anything because I am crumbling and my eerie screams are echoing on my head. I instantly felt extra terrified when the light was mixed with a hint of black. That color seems to terrify all of my nerves. What's the meaning of that?

"Mother! Mother!" I shouted while tightening my grip on her royal dress. All I can hear in the four corner of my room is my horrified scream.

"Vreihya!" I heard my uncle's voice in panic as he hurriedly entered the room. His terrified and worried eyes are the one who registered on my sight.

"Alonzo! Don't tell me that this is the day! My daughter is too young for this! Please this is not the right time!" my mother terrifyingly said as I felt my body being lifted by my uncle.

"If her body is needing it right now then we are not capable of going against it," uncle worriedly replied to my scared mother. My mother cried loudly with that feedback while I felt how my body became stiff and stone cold. It feels like my whole body were dried out.

My screams and loud crying earlier was replaced with an inability to utter any words as my mouth went dry. I am too weak to make even a weak squeak using my voice. My loudness is nowhere to be found as the room went silent.

I blankly stared on the ceiling feeling as dazed as I ever could while the light became bigger and more blinding. My surroundings became too blurry while my capability to move even an inch had already vanished.

"Vreihya! Listen to me Iha. If there is a force that is pulling you don't restrain your self. Don't fight against it because it might kill you," my uncle quickly said while I am still in his arms not moving an each or even blinking. I feel that the light itself is swallowing my whole body.

I shook my head because I don't want to lose my will to restrain. I will never let this pain get the best of me because I am scared on what will happen to me.

"Vreihya! You need to do this because it might kill you," uncle shouted out of worry and panic. Every time that I am trying to fight against it my chest became more painful in the way that I can stand it. I can't do it! I am way too scared!

"Dear! I am begging you! Just don't fight it! Don't restrain!" my mother begged with all her might and with that I surrendered myself and let whatever force is it that pulls me. The blinding red and black light quickly shifted into a light blue hue as I let it take over me.

I slowly felt coldness while the feeling of my uncle's embrace started to disappear as my body started to feel like floating. My vision became completely blurry while all of the sudden I can't feel any pain in my chest.

Everything became blank as well as my mind. I felt a gentle breeze on my skin that makes my dress lightly dancing with it. My back felt the soft grass where I am lying right now. The unbearable pain seems to vanished on my chest as I felt that relaxing ambiance of the place where I am right now.

I feel my strength returning but my mind is filled with questions and unfamiliarity behind the reason why the pain magically disappeared.

"Mother? Uncle?" I am confused and a bit nervous about my new surrounding and it grew bigger as I felt that no one seems to hear my call. I quickly stand away from the soft green grasses. A wide grass fields filled my eyes as well as the tall trees around it. Where Am I?

What kind of place is this?

*FLASHBACK*

"Mother?" I uttered as fear started to invade me once again. Another set of tears are about to exit my eyes because I can't see my uncle and my mother. What just happened? Why am I here all of the sudden? What is this place?

I tried to explore my surroundings using my sense of sight but the wide rows of different trees welcomed my worried eyes. The place is green and peaceful that I really like about a place. The surrounding is soothing and is wiping all of my existing worries.

I turned my body on my back and my eyes widened as admiration filled my head. A big mansion is standing mighty and tall in front of me while the unfamiliar design and structure left my mouth hanging. This mansion is very different from the once that I grew up seeing on our kingdom.

My gaze quickly rose on the second floor of the enormous mansion and that is where I saw a young boy. My brows furrowed when I saw his strange clothing . This is something new for my eyes and it is not like the clothing that I use to wear or see. Where am I? Why is everything strange from the things that I used to?

I can see him clearly despite our distance using my sharp eyes. I can't help but to admit that he is really attractive despite being this young like me. His nose is sharp as well as his lips are pinkish. I don't know why I felt this sudden admiration despite the fact that I never had seen him before.

"Mommy?" I am surprised when he shouted while he is starting to grip his chest as if something is hurting him right now. The book that he is reading quickly fell from his grip. I felt stunned upon seeing the red and black light on his chest just like what I have encountered earlier.

I quickly lifted my feet from the green grass with my power and with that I had managed to enter the large window. I felt scared upon seeing him on the floor as the blinding lights is still visible on this tiny chest.

He started to cry intensely and that is when I felt his pain. That is what I had felt a moment ago. I can really relate right now with his situation and I can help but to feel pity. I feel like I am hurt like him just by staring at his trembling little body and panicked crying.

"Mommy!" he yelled once more but still not knowing that I am standing behind him. I can feel how scared he is and puzzled at the same time while his cries and screams filled the four corner of his spacious room.

I can say that we are at the same age. That is when another questions invaded my mind. Is every nine years old suffers the same pain?

Is all of us were cursed with this unbearable pain? If yes, then why is this happening and what is the cure? I can bare looking at him while I can relate how painful it is to suffer. I quickly turned his trembling body towards me and a surprised looked registered on his scared face.

"Who are you?" he asked while his fear can be heard. I didn't answer back as I quickly squatted near his laid body on the floor.

"We have the same illness," I said innocently as it seems that I didn't mind his surprise look towards me. All I know right now is that I want to calm him down just like how my uncle and my mother is always doing whenever I'm in pain. I want to be around him as I can sympathize with how much pain that illness is causing.

"Don't you worry... We will be okay," I said while smiling genuinely at him. He was about to smile back at me but he was cut off when his chest begun to ache again. With my power I managed to lift his body and lay him on his bed just by waving my hand.

The floor is to cold and uncomfortable for him that's why I need to place him on the soft mattress that his large bed can offer. He lifted his upper body and sat on the bed while his eyes were wide as he looked at me with disbelief.

My brow furrowed with the kind of expression that he gave to me. Why am I seeing a new form of fear on his eyes while staring at me?

"Why you looked so surprised? Is this the first time you saw a power?" I asked with a confuse tone. I felt how his heart went as wild as they can as he looked so horrified. His face turned impossibly pale like someone had drunk all of his blood.

Why is he acting like that? It seems like he is so afraid and I don't have any idea why. Is there something scary about my face? My mother told me that my beauty is ethereal and no one can be my equal. I caught many vampire boys staring right at me with admiration in their eyes so why is he so afraid of me?

"You're a mons-" he quickly cut off what he is about to say when the light on his chest intensifies that looks like he is being swallowed by it. I easily felt worried about what is happening to him right now. So this is what my uncle and my mom were feeling every time my illness strikes again. The feeling of unable to do do anything or help really sucks!

"Stay calm! Everything will be alright," I stated trying to sound as calm and compose as possible. I closed our gap and held his cold hand and he held on it tightly as he hissed with the pain. I want to hide the fact that I am starting to feel scared and nervous because it might make him cry or panic even more.

With the little knowledge I possess I lowered my face into his and gave him a gentle kiss on his lips. I felt his daze and shock but mother told me that every time my father is unwell she will give him a kiss and the pain will go away. The is the only thing I know. Isn't that effective?

I moved away from him and that is when I saw how the light on his chest slowly disappeared. But I felt insanely strange when I felt how every nerves in my body awakened with the flow of unfamiliar strength.

I can't understand why I felt like I was reborn with new power after our lips touched for the first time. I felt so energize yet confused with how light I am feeling right now. I felt my eyes starting to ignite without my control or even my consent.

I am stunned when my fangs started to grow while this feeling of sudden boost of power travelled through every single vein in my body. I quickly covered my fangs. Why is my body acting like this? What is this madness all about? I stood up and moved as far as I can from him while confusion is running wild on my mind. What is happening?

He stood quickly as both of us are looking at each other with a confused and puzzled look. "What have you done? Why is this happening to me? What is the reason behind this?" I said as fear invaded the way I said every word.

What kind of magic spell had he done to my body? What sorcery is this? Is he an enchanter? A sorcerer perhaps?

"You're a monster! Your eyes! They are not normal! You're a monster! Monster!" he exclaimed while he is pointing at me as if I had done something wrong. I quickly removed my palm because of the stinging sensation I felt as my fangs dug onto it.

He became horrified more than ever when he saw how my blood started dripping on my pearl white dress that my mother made by herself.

"Monster! You're a monster!" he exclaimed while I am starting to cry because of the heavy emotions that I am feeling right now while he is screaming like that in front of me. Why do he need to be this mean towards me? I didn't hurt him or even caused him a scratch! Why is he like that?

"Mortals despise us Vreihya. They are not one of our kind," I was stunned when my mother's statement crossed my mind and that is when it hit me hard. Now I understand why his reaction is that intense.

In my world, a vampire that is not blessed by the Goddess of the Moon is incapable of determining whether someone is a vampire or not that's why I didn't found out so easily his true kind.

"Mommy! Daddy! There's a monster in my room!" he shouted with all his might while his finger is trembling while still pointed at me. I quickly heard a loud footsteps going up the stare while they are in an obvious hurry.

I instantly froze the moment I saw a man pointing something I don't know while the woman beside him is in the peak of her fear. "Leave my son alone! I will not let you take him! Son of the devil!" the man angrily said as his determination to kill is visible on his eyes.

I knew well enough that he is the father of the young boy. He continued to aim the thing on my head while his wife hurriedly grabbed his son and hide on his husband's back like their life is at stake.

I started to cry even more while calling my mother and my uncle as well. I want to hide in their embrace! Mother! Uncle! Please take me away from here! I am scared to death.

"I will never harm you," I said while trying to calm my self and I started to walk towards them. But I was stunned as the thing that the man is holding made a loud unfamiliar sound. I felt a sharp pain on my stomach as the thing that exited from it hit me. My blood quickly flowed out of my aching stomach.

I trembled in fear as the unfamiliar pain invaded my system. I panicked the moment I saw a whole on my stomach and as my white dress started to be tinted with red. All I can feel is pain and anger towards them.

How can they hurt a harmless child? I didn't do anything wrong! I never inflicted any injury towards their beloved son and I don't know why they accused me of abducting him. I was just lost in here yet they call me a monster!

A loud sound exited that awful thing again but this time it didn't triumph to hurt me as the blue light pulled me away from the hurtful humans.

They are the real monsters! They mean nothing but harm!

They are close minded creatures!
