Love From Darkness

Cafe

Daniel sat pensively in front of the fireplace. His eyes stared intently at the fire burning wood. But Daniel's mind wasn't there. He could not forget how miserable and fearful Jane was who was always being hunted by an unknown vampire. How did Daniel not know if Jane was being targeted by someone. All this time he had thought that with Daniel's departure, Jane's safety would be more secure. However, it seems that expectations and reality do not always match.

"Master, what are you thinking?" asked Philip who could not stand to see Daniel sitting without moving an inch. He knew that Daniel was thinking very seriously about something.

"I feel cheated," said Daniel.

"What happened?" asked Philip.

"Today Jane just told me that she has been living a life with a shadow of fear. Someone is after her life. I can see that the scar on Jane's waist is a vampire scratch," said Daniel.

Philip was very surprised. He didn't expect something terrible to happen to Jane and no one told Daniel.

"All this time, I've been hiding without anyone knowing. I don't know if this vampire's goal is to find out where I am or if he knows that half of the vampire red dragon's heirloom is inside Jane's body." Daniel again revealed what he was thinking at this time.

"If all of your guesses are correct. Then this situation is very dangerous," said Philip.

Daniel got up and looked at Philip. "Do you have a trusted acquaintance who can be sent to unravel this mystery. I'm sure this vampire keeps an eye on Jane. If Jane is here, it means this vampire has also found me. We must know her purpose," said Daniel.

"You can count on me. I'll have a trusted and expert person investigate this," said Philip.

"Good. Hurry up," said Daniel.

Philip immediately said goodbye to carry out his duties. While Daniel looked back at the fire that almost burned all the wood without a trace. Anyone who dares to disturb Daniel's life must be found.

Daniel immediately went to his room to change clothes. He has an appointment with someone. He deliberately didn't invite Alex, so he could stay at home.

"Sir, the car is ready," said Mark.

"Fine. We're leaving." Daniel walked to the car that was parked in front. Mark immediately opened the door for him, then he himself sat behind the wheel.

The car left the house towards a cafe that Daniel had ordered. That night Daniel will meet with Marsha. There was something he should know from Marsha. He expected Marsha to tell him unconditionally. Daniel knows for sure Marsha's character who always gives something of value by exchanging it for other valuable things. Daniel hoped that Marsha wouldn't want anything weird in return.

"Master, it's here. I'll be watching you from a certain distance," said Mark.

"Thanks, Mark," said Daniel. He entered the cafe and sat at a table where Marsha was already there waiting for him.

"Sorry I'm late," said Daniel.

"No problem. I'm willing to wait for you no matter how long, Daniel," said Marsha teasingly as usual.

Daniel ordered a cappuccino and some food.

"I feel like a dream. Seeing you sitting in front of me and ordering me food," said Marsha happily.

"Don't overreact. We're not spending time like people in a relationship. Use your common sense," Daniel reminded Marsha.

"I don't care. For me this is a night that I can't forget. A romantic cafe atmosphere, good food and only you in front of me," said Marsha.

Food and drinks arrived. Daniel helped set it on the table. Without hesitation Daniel immediately drank his cappuccino.

"Eat. I don't want you to excuse yourself from hunger if I have told you what I need," said Daniel.

Marsha immediately chose the food that Daniel chose. Of course Daniel knew Marsha's favorite food. When Daniel was little, Marsha would often ask him to provide the food or buy it online.

"Apparently you still remember my favorite food. So sweet," said Marsha while chewing food.

"It's normal. It just happens that my brain is too smart. I remember even trivial things," said Daniel.

Marsha didn't seem to care about Daniel's words.

"So just say it. What do you know and don't know about Jane's life," said Daniel.

Marsha smiled slyly.

"You already know me, Dan. To get this important information I also have to get something worth it. How?"

Daniel had already guessed it. Marsha never changes.

"I don't know what you want from me Marsha. What important thing do you want?" asked Daniel.

Marsha smiled sweetly again. Marsha's slender hand held Daniel's hand then said, "How about accompanying me to sleep tonight, Daniel," said Marsha.

Daniel pulled his hand away. He didn't expect Marsha to say such frankly.

"I think I can figure it out myself. I hope in vain that you will tell me," said Daniel, getting up.

"Wait," said Marsha. "Sit down."

Daniel sat back warily. On the other hand Mark who was watching also sat back down.

"I can't do anything to you Daniel. I know you're no ordinary man. I know you're a prince."

Daniel is surprised to hear that Marsha knows his secret in the human world.

"What are you saying?" Daniel said trying to avoid it.

"The vampire prince. Is that right?" Marsha said.

"Be careful when you talk. I don't want to hear your bullshit," said Daniel.

Marsha laughed.

"Whatever. It's just that, since you disappeared and Jane lived a normal life, I often came to her house. Jane was always scared, she said someone wanted to kill her," said Marsha.

Daniel looked at Marsha. He waited anxiously. If it turns out that someone is after Jane's life.

"No one believed what Jane said. Until one day a terrible creature made a mess. Jane was injured and we all saw a vampire," said Marsha.

"We were all scared. Until Sarah accidentally shot the vampire's heart. We thought the vampire was dead and threw him into the forest. But the vampire's body disappeared without a trace. Since then Jane has been closely guarded. Don't leave Jane alone. attack if Jane is alone."

"Then?" asked Daniel.

Marsha was silent. Daniel could guess if Marsha was hiding something.

"Then I found out about vampires. My friend a professor told me that vampires do exist. Their princes or kings always have a unique mark. The mark corresponds to their noble name. If it is a bat then they have a bat on their body too. Just like you, you have the mark. on your back." Marsha was surprised by her own words.

"What!?! When did you see him?" asked Daniel.

"Back then. When you slept in your room," said Marsha.

"So you..." Daniel didn't expect Marsha to sneak into his room. Daniel was embarrassed and angry. Without saying anything Daniel got up leaving Marsha.
