One week passed in a flash, it all pointed to good things for some people on the mansion, but to others it was very hard. For example Saga was being treated in a harsh way by Dimitri, for some reason her presence was beginning to frustrate the vampire.

“I’m going out!” Elizabeth shouted as she opened the door; she was going to buy some things on the town in company of Viau; from the first sight he seemed to be the weak type but it was all the contrary, his loyalty to people made him strong; not in strength or special abilities but in his heart. If something happened to Dimitri and now to someone living in the mansion, he would risk his own life to protect them dying happily.

That was the main reason for them of no hearing any reply; the noble trusted him and thought everyone was leaving the mansion so he could have some time with Sophia, he thanked them that opportunity and knowing it was late in the afternoon he decided to relax; as it was something mechanical, he went to his room, dressed in his pajamas and entered his bed; he didn’t had to wait for a long time before Sophia appeared, also in her pajamas and also entering the bed.

“Thank you for being here with me, I needed to relax and forgot about everything” Dimitri said.

“Well my Dear if you insist I would be more than happy to be able and do this more often” Sophia said. Both of them were talking in sweet voices, something you couldn’t appreciate. Dimitri placed his head on her chest, both of them were comfortable now; they continued their conversation while Sophia caressed him.

“Why are you acting like that in front of Saga, poor girl, she is just afraid” she said

“That is the reason, because she is afraid…humans tend to act very strange, their emotions are still difficult to understand for me, so I’m bored with them, trying to understand them makes me feel even worst so as long as she isn’t a vampire…well I’m sorry if I act like that” he said not knowing that apart from Sophia, there was someone else at the mansion; it wasn’t Hades, he was outside; it wasn’t Erebi, he tend to disappeared when those moments came. It was Saga; she was left alone and couldn’t handle her curiosity so now she was hearing all the conversation from the corridor; the door was opened but only a little; she could only see a part of the bed. For her it was sufficient, she remained there listening and hearing many things she was going to regret later that night.

“Don’t you understand my dear? Maybe that ability to show their emotions is what make them interesting…I can still feel like a human but sometime I wonder if one day I will forgot those emotions and became…. “Sophia said cutting her words at the end, she didn’t want to hurt the noble, however he continued.

“To become like me….don’t worry dear, you didn’t hurt me, I also ask myself that question and I arrived to a conclusion” he said in a low voice, he heard she didn’t reply anything but he knew she was curious for the answer “humans are not weak, in fact maybe they are stronger in what refers to emotions; you shouldn’t fear Sophia, I still feel…maybe it is a surprise for you, but if I didn’t then..” He stopped because he didn’t want to continue; Sophia felt that too so she tried to continue the conversation.

“I’m curious now…how do you feel right now?” she asked in a cute way

“I’m afraid..” he said

“Afraid? Of what?”

“I’m afraid of losing you….” There was some silence in which Dimitri noticed something; Sophia’s heart was beating faster; he turned his body and faced her face. She looked shocked but when she saw that two yellow and curious eyes were watching her, she tried to continue with the conversation; in her mind she wanted to hear those words.

“Afraid of losing…me? Why would you feel like that…” she said in a whisper

“Afraid of losing you because…because I love you” He was firm when he said those words; then he sat down on the bed and approach her kissing her lips in a passionate way. The position changed; right now, Sophia was the one leaning on his chest; both kept silence; words weren’t needed at that time. The fact of enjoying the other’s company and silence was enough.

Outside in the corridor, Saga leaned in a wall; she had heard everything and for a strange reason she wasn’t understanding; those words felt like knives in her heart. She felt betrayed by everyone, the only activity she did was walking in silence to the garden; when she arrived there, she sat down under a tree and close her eyes.

“Why….” She whispered. Deep in her mind she was beginning to understand everything. She was falling in love for the noble; however she had to control those emotions because he had already someone he loved. Her other side kept telling her to do something and chase her dreams no matter the consequences it will cause.

“Sophia right?” Saga whispered again, then she opened her eyes to find two pair of eyes looking at her with a worry on them.

“Are you all right Saga?” Elizabeth asked. Before she could do anything another question came. “Why are you crying?” Viau’s voice said. She tried to ignore everything and behave as normal as she could incorporating some lies to her explanation. The other part of her was planning something that had to wait
until the next day.

No one was prepared for what it happened the next morning…

------------------------------//-------------------------

Everything started like it would start in a normal day; Dimitri left the mansion along with Viau to walk and appreciate the nature before it was time for “breakfast”; that time, Dimitri took Viau to the flower shop, the dog was amazed by all the scents and colors he saw and that made the noble happy.
On the other side; Sophia and Elizabeth began to clean and organize everything they could, in that aspect, both of them were perfectionists; however they were worried for the other girl who was acting weird. She ignored Sophia’s voice and acted like her body wished, her mind was somewhere else. Her mind was planning the next move; she wanted to hurt someone in order to heal herself.

Few hours passed and the noble along with the dog arrived; Saga received them because the other two were at the garden, everything was going like she wanted.

“Welcome back! Did you enjoyed your little trip?” she asked
Dimitri nodded and Viau began to talk about all the things he saw; she ignored him and continued.

“Dimitri, may I talk to you in private? I need to ask you something…” the vampire agreed and they went to a little living room in the second floor.

“You know? I’ve been wandering…I’m about to become a vampire for what reason?” She wasn’t looking at his eyes and when she didn’t hear anything she continued “Oh yes! I know the reason: to take care of a weak vampire who doesn’t seem to be stronger enough to take care of himself”

“The only thing I’m going to reply is, Saga stop this nonsense talking or else…”

“Or else what? Are you going to kill me? I don’t think you are capable of doing that, you were not capable of protecting your family and for what I see you are not strong enough to protect any of the people who are at the mansion right now “ She said almost shouting; she didn’t know about his family, however that is a weak point in everyone’s heart.

“What did you just said?” He asked trying to control himself; Erebi tried to help too but what she said next changed everything.

“I’m just saying you are not strong in order to protect Sophia but at the end it doesn’t matter because she is a SLUT” She couldn’t react to what happened next. In no more than one second Dimitri grabbed her neck and pushed her to a wall; there was a heavy noise and after that agitated steps began to appear through all the mansion. Everyone knew what that sound meant. Death.

They found a bloody Saga who was being pushed to a wall and wasn’t able to breathe; the one who was pushing her was an angry vampire who was changing his nails into something sharp; the nails were getting near to her chest in a fast way but before anything happened a horrible sound was heard; a sound that affected everyone except the victim.

“STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Sophia shouted, her voice paralyzed everyone, anyway the effect on the noble was to remain there and let go for some seconds the hand that was grabbing the neck. Saga was able to breathe again, now tears falling through her face showed the fear she felt.

“You don’t know what she said…” The vampire said in a tone very similar to a growl. After saying those words he literally threw the girl to another wall ignoring all the sound that was produced when she hit the floor. Everyone kept silence and the only one who was helping Saga was Sophia, how ironic. The victim fainted as soon as she was thrown; Elizabeth wanted to laugh, it seemed a weird reaction to what she saw but sometimes she expressed her fear by laughing; however that time she kept quiet. Viau was alert to any other movement of the noble who was now kneeling on the floor, he grabbed his face, brushed his hair and then walked away but before leaving the mansion he hit a wall which began to collapse.

“Don’t dare to follow me or else you will end worst than her….” A door closed and Dimitri left.

The mansion was agitated and everyone was trying their best to kept an order and remain distracted from what had happened.

Sophia was treating Saga’s wounds and when she was able to open her eyes, she began to try and found out what had started the problem.

“Saga what did you do to make Dimitri that mad?” she asked in a motherly voice

“…. I talked bad things about his family and him…” She said quickly, she wasn’t brave enough to tell her the truth, not for now.

Sophia remained in silence thinking about a possible way to resolve everything. “ Saga, don’t do that kind of thing ever again, if you do, there wouldn’t be anyone to save you…” Her voice was deep and rough “I’m going to search for him, when he behaves like this, he would end killing someone at the village. Please talk to him when we come back, now you should rest” Sophia left and the other girl could notice that something had changed in her. She didn’t know that family was something of that importance to them and that she created a big mistake.

It began to rain…
