Part 7: Meeting a New Friend

Not knowing how long had I been running away from him, finally I caught a hold of myself and decided to calm down for a while, taking a rest. I observed the place I was now in and I was kind of like it since that It really resembled my former home in Vampire Land. There, it was always cold, dark and gloomy, just like what vampires needed to make the place as their settlement for the rest of their life even though they really need to go out for hunting in the human world.

A bat abruptly collided with me and got his claws scratched my face. I was fine with it since I had a fast-healing ability but I wondered what had happened to the bat. I went nearer towards him and lifted him on my palm and asked, "Are you okay bat?"

Since that the bats really related to the vampire, also not forgetting the Dracula himself, we could communicate with them without any difficulties.

"It's okay, mam. I'm okay. Sorry about the wound on your face. Can it be that you're a vampire mam?" He apologized.

"It's fine, it is completely healed just now and yes I am. How bout you? What's with the rush?" I asked again.

"Well, I was about to warn my dominion who was hiding from the sun ray," He replied with an anxious look on his face.

"Warn him about what?"

"There's a vampire hunter who was resting himself at the mouth cave!" He whispered urgently.

I assumed that he was talking about that nasty bad-mouthed kiddo who I came with all the way until we reached this cave.

"Oh, do come with me mam! If he sees you, he'll kill you!" He pleaded.

"Oh, how kind of you. But, I doubt he would," I replied to him with my merry smile.

"No can do mam! Among those 7 vampire hunters, he's the strongest of all! He's the type that loves to bully people even for his very own comrades!"

"Well, that's him alright..."I monologued.

He flew off and grabbed my hand to follow him deep into the damp cave where there, I could hear water lapping that I reckoned there's a river somewhere inside the cave.

Finally, we arrived. At my very own disbelief, I couldn't believe my eyes of what I saw. It's my cousin from the vampire Land! I dashed to get him and finally embraced him tightly and said, "Cyano! Oh, I'm glad you're here!"

He who was resting was astounded with my sudden embrace and my very own appearance.

"Natalya! I thought I won't see you again!" He hugged me back with that relief tone of his.

"What are you doing here?" I asked with a bit overwhelmed.

"You see, I was hunting for food just now but, when I thought of I won't be able to feed you again... It's kind of sad. So, I decided not to go back yet," He explained briefly.

"Well, you don't have to do that. Why do you always burdening yourself in helping me out to search for food?"

"I don't like seeing my own cousin in starvation and as an apology since that my sisters always bullied you back in vampire land. I was scared to death when I know that you was exiled!" He said with a gloomy expression.

"You're just too kind..." I smiled.

"Dominion! You're in danger! There's a vampire hunter at the mouth cave who was resting there and he's Hans Royard!" He shouted urgently.

I frowned and retorted, "What?! His name is Hansel right?"

"Who's Hansel? Maybe you misheard that. He's name real name is... "

"Yes, my name real name is Hans. So what?" He appeared out of the blue. "So, you are the second presence instead of food-supply. Prepare to die now, Cyano Ashley!"

He took out his death-scythe and attacked him fiercely like a tiger who was in combat to get its prey. And there I was, halting with fear. My head turned blank and I had no idea what to do or how to react. Should I let it be or save my cousin... I was in dilemma for a while and this confusion hunted me. What should I do?

To be continued.
