The Crystal Knight

Feel

Nathan walked home by train. He felt very tired. Being in such a crowd made him feel like he couldn't breathe. Being on campus and mingling with many people is not fun. Nathan longed for the peaceful and lonely countryside atmosphere. Like when his mother was still alive. If only the red-eyed man hadn't killed his mother ...

Nathan grabbed the headset and covered his ears with a musical instrument of his choice. He sat alone. With that strange appearance, no one would approach him. That was the reason why Nathan was badly dressed. He just didn't want to be disturbed.

Soon the train stopped and Nathan immediately got off. He stopped a taxi outside the station to his house. About half an hour Nathan had just arrived at the old gate of his house. The big house in the elite housing was Nathan's choice. That choice was also Nathan's second request. By living in this area, of course, there will be rarely social interaction.

"Eve!" shouted Nathan.

There was a dog barking from inside the house and soon a medium sized wolf came running towards him.

"Do you miss me?" asked Nathan, stroking his beloved wolf. Eve barked in response to Ethan's question.

"Seeing you I calmed down. You know, it's tiring outside," said Nathan. He got up to enter the house. Usually Eve kept up with her steps, but I don't know what the wolf saw at the gate. He kept barking and growling.

"What is wrong?" asked Nathan. He immediately checked towards the gate and looked around, but there was no one.

"Come on in. There's no one. I'll take a nap and then I'll take you out for a walk. Ok!?!"

Eve barked. This time he immediately went into the house following Nathan. When Nathan took a shower Eve was waiting for him on the bed. After Nathan lay down on the bed to sleep, Eve sat beside Nathan as usual. He seemed to be on alert near Nathan. Sit guarding Nathan until he finally awakens. Eve had been this habit ever since Nathan took care of her.

"Aren't you tired of being awake while I sleep. Come on, Eve, I want to hug you when I go to sleep," Nathan asked. But Eve didn't budge from where she sat.

"Huh, I give up on seducing you. You are like an expensive selling woman who is not interested in my good looks. Oh, my pride is hurt. Please, love me," said Nathan spoiled. But Eve didn't budge. Instead, the wolf pulled the blanket over Nathan's body.

"Okay, I'll go to sleep," said Nathan, looking at the ceiling of the room. "Father hasn't been home in a week. Is he all right? You should have gone there to see how he was. You old man, very proud if his child is worried."

Nathan was very upset. His father should have given him news if he didn't want to go home. If that was the case, Nathan thought more and more about his situation. Moreover, the last incident occurred in an accident in the laboratory. Thinking all this, Nathan began to fall asleep without realizing it. It was then that a small light appeared on his forehead. The blue light appeared for a few seconds then disappeared. That light made Eve stand guard beside Nathan. No one knows the mark but the wolf.

***

William missed Nathan a lot. It had been a week since she had contacted him. Therefore, he went to his private room in the laboratory. But just now he reached for the cellphone ...,

"Wil, a new catch has arrived. You'll be surprised when you see it. Hurry up to room G!" shouted his co-worker.

William put down his cellphone again. He rushed to the room in question. What he encountered there shocked him. A beautiful woman was tied with a special iron chain. Beside him stood Gery who looked at the woman with satisfaction. William firmly believed that the woman was Gery's catch.

"Why did you bring a woman? This is against the rules, we do not test the device on humans," said William.

Gery laughed. He looked at William who had been underestimating him.

"You don't know this woman is a vampire. Not just humans can catch her. They are very strong than us. I'm lucky that this vampire is just an ordinary vampire whose strength is not that much compared to the vampire of the nobility."

William frowned, since when have there been vampires in this world. The creature is just a myth.

"Don't joke! We are scientists and will not hear your nonsense. Let him go!" William tried to untie the twisted chains, but suddenly the woman struggled. He stared at William with red eyes and fangs sticking out between his lips.

William who saw it was so shocked that he fell on the floor. He could not believe what he saw. The vampire before him was too real.

"Do you still not believe it !?! Read the book that the director gave again. The tool you made was to find a human who has a soul crystal in him. Isn't it already mentioned in the book. Vampire is also a werewolf in the story."

"Impossible," William muttered.

"You don't change Wil, I told you. All the stories in this world, both legends, fairy tales and even bedtime stories come from true stories. Everything is developed from true stories. We just have to sort out what is real and just gibberish. All right, I'll ask for a big fee for my arrest this time. See you again, "said Gery.

William didn't answer. He stood slowly and looked at the woman in front of him with fear. Suddenly he remembered Nathan. The incident where Nathan's mother died and the child insisted that her mother was killed by a vampire. Doubt crept into his heart. What if what Nathan said was true.

"Let go!" shouted the woman. "You will regret catching me!" he shouted again.

"I can't believe it," William muttered. He touched the vampire woman's arm.

"Good, you finally touched me," the woman laughed. William immediately let go of his hand.

"Too late, I've seen your past. Looks like you have a son who is quite handsome," said the woman surprised William.

"How do you know?" William was huffed.

"I can see the past. Why? Are you afraid of the professor?"

William felt Nathan's safety was being threatened. She once promised her mother to take good care of Nathan.

"You're bluffing. Right now you are helpless," William said.

"Is it true!?!" The woman smiled mysteriously.

Suddenly the ceiling collapsed. Several people appeared floating down. William's body was stiff. Meanwhile, the security that came directly to the room after the explosion also couldn't move. As if everyone was in control.

They let go of the chained woman easily. After that they floated and disappeared in the air. William, who was already able to move, worried about Nathan. He got up half running out of the building.

"William! What happened!?!"

The screams didn't stop William in his tracks. All she wanted to do was go home and see Nathan.
