Candela

“So, you’re saying that you actually shout onto my brother’s face?” Primo’s eyes were locked on her. She had decided to tell it to Primo about what happened yesterday. So, now, they were two in the library. Chit chatting about the arrogance of Lord Blade.

Up until now, she couldn’t believe how she managed to shout on him. Well, she’s proud and has the will to that. She wasn’t afraid to do that but that is when she’s still angry to him. Standing madly in front of him. And now that she’s already calm, she instantly regret her actions. Though, she didn’t able to see Lord Blade since yesterday but still, she felt nervous. For goddamn hell, she’s fucking nervous!

“I’m very very proud of you, Candelita. What have you done is truly amazing. Guess what? You just hit his arrogant ego. Well done. Job well done!” She grimaced when Primo claps his hands.

Well done? Did she really do a job well done?

“What if he saw me? What if he take his revenge because of what I’ve did-”

“Then, together, let’s give him a fight. A fight that suits him. My goodness, Candela! He just found his match and unlucky for him because I know that you can play better.”

“Primo?” She asked beggingly. “Are you aware to the fact that you’re not helping? I’m trying to figure out things here on how to apologize about on what I’ve did-”

“No! No! No!” Primo cut her words. He stood up and faced her with arms crossed on his chest. “You’re not going to apologize on my brother. Not even once nor twice. What you’ve done is right, he deserves him more than your apologize. Besides, I’m on your side. Don’t you worry.” Primo wink at her but she just answered it with a grimaced.

She’s really dead now. If ever she saw that Lord again, sure thing, she needs to put all her things on her luggage and leave the castle. What about her mission if that’s happened? Or maybe, Lord Blade might send her to the dungeon and gives her the suitable punishment for talking back to a royal blooded vampire. And then at the end, she’ll be killed.

‘What I’m gonna do now?’

“Candela, come on. He won’t going to kill you. It’s okay… uh, actually, it’s not okay.”

“Primo? You’re scaring the hell out of me!”

“What?” Primo asked innocently. “I’m saying that what you’ve done is far from being okay. It’s the nicest things you ever done. Trust me.”

“Argg! Whatever. I’m not sure if you’re really standing on my side or not.” She fixed her eyes on the cabinets that is abundant of lots of books. Then, she stood up and tried to pick up a book that may catch her attention.

As she trailing on the cabinet, she saw something’s very familiar picturesque of a book. She’s sure that she have saw the exact book before but she couldn’t just remember where? When and where did she saw the book.

She looked back at Primo while holding the book. “Primo, what kind of book is this?” she asked, referring to the book she’s holding.

“Well, I haven’t seen that book yet. Can you bring it here so, I could recognized it?” she followed what Primo had said. She went back to her chair and pulled it closer to Primo.

Primo just trailed his fingers on the letters engraved on it. “Bloods of Crimson?” Primo read the title. They both look at each pthet before opening the book.

“It says that it’s all about blood heirarchies of the Crimson. I wonder why I haven’t read this one when I always consumed my days inside this library?”

She sighed. “Well, maybe you already see it but you just forgotten. What says next?” she curiously asked.

Primo shrugged his shoulder before turning the pages one by one. As he’s turning it, Candela realized how old the book maybe. Its pages are already torn and based on its looks, it was clearly a book of history.

“Nothing’s interesting here, tho. It’s just all about history and lots of lots of names of the ruler for the decades. Even my grandfather’s name is here.” Primo closed the book before handling it to her. “Just put it back to its place, Candelita. I wanted to eat. I’ll wait you outside.” She nodded.

Primo leave her inside the library while she, putting back the books they’ve got from the cabinet. And when she’s about to put back the old book she have found, something fell from it. It was a piece of paper which is fell down from the book. She bended down to get it from the floor and as soon as she saw the pictures on it, she fell on the floor unconscious.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Do you love me, Mother?” Her kid features asked a very familiar woman closed on her heart. It was her mother…

“What if I tell you that I didn’t love you, would you believe me?” She instantly shook her head before smiling at her mother.

“Father told me how much you love me, Mother. So, even if you tell me that you didn’t love me, I won’t believe you,” she innocently replied. Then her mother cages her heart-shaped face on its palms.

Her mother smiled at her. “Always remember that I’ll forever love you, my princess. I can do all things just for you. That’s how I love you, my little Candela. I promised to your father before he died that it will cost my life to protect you. We love you, princess. We really are.” Her mother’s eyes watered before kissing her tiny nose.

“I miss father,” sadness can be heard from her voice. “I miss him. I miss having bonding with him. It makes me sad thinking that he’s already gone. I don’t have a father anymore. We don’t have a father anymore. My brother is still unborn and when the time comes that you gave birth on him, he won’t be able to see father. Our father…” She caressed her mother’s big tummy with her small hands before giving her brother a kiss.

“What do you should we named him, princess?” her mother asked.

She put her tiny index finger under her chin. As if she’s thinking of a very ideal name for her little brother. “I knew it!” she exclaimed excitedly. “What about we named him Primo? Oh, that would be nice. Naming my brother Primo. How was that brother?” she asked her mother’s tummy as if it would answer her.

“Little Primo. That was a nice name.” her mother complimented. She smiled at her, a smile which her eyes are also smiling.

“Mother, would you promise us that you’ll not going to leave us. Promise us that you’ll stay on our side and love us with all your heart.”

Her mother shows her pinky fingers. “I promised. I promised to love and stay on your side as long as I can.”

As soon as her mother hug her tightly, everything she’s watching from the corner vanished. Slowly, the pictures of her and her pregnant mother faded. Then, that was the time when she found herself, in the middle of a bed. Sun’s rays were touching her face. The room has a blinding light. She forced herself to move and sat in the middle, fortunately, she did.

And there, she saw someone beside her bed. His head is resting while his hand’s holding her.

“Primo…” she uttered silently.
