Immortal I

Immortal 18

Scarlet's PoV

The next day I was surprised because Caex called someone to fix me because tonight there will be a grand ball where Kim invited me l lives and pure witches, wizards, and vampires party which. I can't be with Caex because Kim told me not to bring him. Can there be immortals there? I wondered if there is no difference between a vampire and an immortal, right?

I looked at the dress I was going to wear to that grand ball, and I wondered why my sandals are glass; it feels like I was in a fairy tale titled Cinderella. I believe in those, but that can't happen to me because of that grand ball. My prince charming is not there.

I looked at the clock, and it was time for lunch. So I got up when I sat here on the bed because I can't do anything here at Caex's mansion and I'm just waiting for the grand ball time, we know I'll meet someone there who will be my friend, but I hope it's not a vampire, it's scary because those types of people you think are dangerous.

"Hasn't Caex come home yet?" I asked Richard who was preparing me something to eat. There's a lot of food for me. I'm the only one to eat all of it, and I don't have anyone to share. Because I'm the only mortal here, or should I say, Richard.

"He will come home later, Miss Scarlet," Richard said, and when he put down the glass in front of me with only water, I immediately started eating. When I invited him to eat, he refused because he said he didn't go with a friend close by Caex.

Do I look close to Caex? When I found out that Caex likes me, but what about me? I don't know if I want anything with him, after that he kissed me. I can't forget that he did that. I can't leave him here in the mansion because I will hurt his feelings by doing that.

When I finished eating, I drank water and wiped my mouth and at the same time got up and left my leftovers food, and went upstairs. I was about to enter my room when I remembered that Caex had a library here, so I decided to go there, maybe I'll read a good story there.

I went into the library, and it has many books, and there was a ladder to get the book you wanted to read. So I looked around, and there was a table in the middle. There was a mirror that looked like Caex using it.

I approached a long bookshelf. I also noticed a white book that was up and appeared to have recently been used by someone. I picked it up, and my eyes widened as the bookshelf moved like a tunnel, is there a passage here? I would have set my feet in there, but I stopped it because if I made another entry into a tunnel, I might not be able to get out again.

I went back and just sat in a chair here opposite the table, and I opened the book I took and read the history of a mortal. I read it and read that the mortal has a limit and has died, but the immortals have no end.

I closed the book and put it back where it was, and the tunnel I saw was closed, and I went out of the library, and when I went back to my room, I noticed there Caex standing and leaning against the door and with others who will fix me. What time is it, and why is Caex here right away?

"What took you so long? Are you interested in my books?" Caex asked me, so he knew I was at the library, and then he asked me why I took so long? I entered the room, and the fixers followed me.

Someone will fix my hair, and someone will clean my nails and my feet, and someone will also fix my makeup. The woman put my light brown hair down and put something glowing in my hair that I don't know what it is.

"Simple dark makeup, and for my nails black color my hair dye it with at up and to the lower is black," they all nodded immediately. I close my eyes because they are already putting makeup on my face, and I could hear that the blower seems to be drying my hair because of the color they set on me.

After finishing the repairs, the maids managed me to stand up and show me the gown that Kim gave me, which I immediately put on, and the sandals that it's made of glass, which I had to be careful with because I might break them later and have to go home barefoot.

When I came out, Caex was surprised because of my appearance, my hair was a bit loose and curled at the bottom, and my lips were a bit red. After all, I said, to not put too much lipstick on me because I might look like a monster. So Caex smiled, and I also smiled at Caex, and I took Caex hands.

We went down and saw a black Mercedes, and Richard immediately opened the door, Caex helped me get inside, and Caex was left outside, so I first lowered the mirror here in the car and peeked at him.

"Are you not going to come even if you're not allowed there?" I asked him, and he slowly bent down, and he put his mouth on my ear and whispered something to me that he only said softly, and I felt the pain. I don't know why.

"All right, just be careful here in the mansion bye!" I said to Caex and immediately lowered the glass here in this car, and I felt that the car was running and I was preventing myself from crying because of what Caex told me. Why? Am I affected by Caex's words? That he should be concerned?

I just took a deep breath. I shouldn't feel sad now because when I cry, I'm sure I'll ruin my makeup, and I'll just be embarrassed in front of many wizards, witches, especially the vampires I fear.

I felt the car stop, so I took a deep breath and Richard opened the door for me, and I saw the mansion where Kim will hold the grand ball tonight and many of the guests who were also there and pure red and black what they were wearing so this is what Kim gave me.

"I'm glad you came," I heard Kim say and I smiled at him, and he put my hand on his arm so I didn't do anything and we went inside, and the many vampires who were drinking were blood, it's scary they might find out I'm a mortal here.

"Don't overthink. You'll get used to it too?" Kim said to me, and I nodded, and when he left beside me, I saw a waiter with a drink of wine; maybe that's why I took it there, and I didn't drink it first because they seem to notice that I am not partaking of them.

I looked around, and there were also vampire women, and it was as if they were sharing the blood they were drinking from the glass, so I immediately looked away because I was horrified when they smiled, especially when I saw their sharp fangs.

"Hey, miss, you don't have a partner?" I heard a cold voice, so when I looked at him, my eyes just widened because the one in front of me now was a vampire with a big body, and he was tall, and its red eyes did not disappear from my sight.

"I have a partner—he—"

"I see you don't have a partner because there is no one besides you when you enter here," he said to me. His horrible voices made my skin hair stand on end, and I was just surprised when he touched my waist, is it my end' too? I hope not!

"I'm telling the truth, mister, I have a partner, so get your hands off with me," I said very calmly because if I don't fight him, maybe he'll make me more innocent you don't know what's going on right now here inside the mansion.

"Easy, miss! You're a vampire-like us, so don't look at me as if you're not the same with us," he said to me. Am I a vampire? I looked at the wine I was holding, and that's when I realized that it wasn't a wine I was holding in the glass but human blood. I calmed myself down because he might find out.

"I'm not a vampire. I thought it's a glass of red wine. I'm sorry-" I stammered, and he immediately took it, and he drank it, so I just let him. Where is he? Kim? Why did he suddenly disappear? If I only knew this would happen, I would have just included Richard to have someone with me.

'I don't belong there, I'm sorry.'

The words that Caex said to me earlier, yes, he doesn't belong here. It was sad because I can't even dance with him; I still want him to be my first dance wait, what am I saying?!

"Are you okay, miss?" The vampire man asked me, and he hasn't left yet? I thought he was gone, and I looked around. Am I just a different hair color? Is that why this man approached me?

"I'm okay, don't mind me, I'm just overthinking," I said to him, and he frowned because he seemed to be trying to read what I was thinking, so I smiled and pretended to be laughing, and he frowned.

"Why are you laughing?" he asked me.

"Because you can't read my mind, aren't vampires are strong to read my mind?" I said to him, and his eyes widened, and his teeth gritted, which I was afraid of because he might know what I am. Is he just an ordinary vampire, or is he one of the highest?

"Good evening everyone, this grand ball is for the half-mortal and half-wizards" Kim's voice and everyone looked at me, and I backed away. The man next to me seemed very hungry because he already knew I'm a mortal, but why did he say I'm a half wizard?!

"Mortals are not allowed here, but why is that girl here? I don't care if she is a half wizard because she is a full human being and doesn't know her power, I guess?" So said a man in a hat, and he is holding a glass of wine blood, and he showed its fangs as if it was ready to bite me.

"Run, Scarlet, run!" It was Caex's voice, but why did I hear it? So I slowly moved my legs backward, and I ran fast even though I was wearing fragile sandals. I didn't know if I was injured. It was essential to stay away from me here. When I got out, I saw the gate closing, and I stopped when one of my sandals fell, and it broke.

"Kill her!" I heard the woman say so. So I immediately took off one of my steel sandals and threw it at them, and it broke because I used my power, and I looked for a way to climb.

If I were a wizard or half or whatever, he would have listened to me. He would have given me strength. He would have given me the power to get out of here. So I closed my eyes and when I opened my eyes alight came out of my chest, and I looked at the fence, and there was a piercing, and I immediately climbed there, and my eyes widened as something went into my leg, and it was a dagger, so I stepped on the woman who did that.

When I got down, I immediately ran even though my leg hurt. I was far away. I stopped because I felt the rain falling and suddenly got stronger, I heard thunder, and I felt weak. Am I going to die here?

The black colors from my hair are already slipping on my palms. Finally, my hair returned to its original color, and my makeup seems to have faded due to the heavy rain, Caex why not did you save me? I thought you were always there with me, but why now could you not go there right away? Instead, all you did was whisper to me and run.

"It's annoying, but it's sad because I'm about to be killed there," I whispered to myself, and I felt the heat on my cheek because I was going to cry. I accompanied the rain when I raised my head something reflected it was a man standing and wet in the rainfall, so I stopped and approached me.

"Stop crying," he hugged me, and I felt him lift me, and in a flash, we reached the mansion, and immediately someone took off my dress and those helpers and let me into the bathroom, and I started to take a bath, and after that, I went out and dressed, and they also treated my wound.

After they did that, I immediately sat on the bed, and my leg hurt there, and at the same time, Caex came in here with food, and it was on the mini tray.

"Eat first because I know you didn't eat there," he said to me, and he put the mini tray on the bed. Then he gave me the hot soup. I blow on it to make it warm, and then I eat it already. Caex is just looking at me.

"I told myself that you wouldn't be allowed to go to that grand ball because you'll only get hurt," he said to me, and I feel like there's a part of my memory that I remember and my death before when I met Caex for the first and in the long run I died because I saved him.

Earlier, when I ran, I felt like I was in a dark forest, and I kept running there, and when a wall opened up to me, I thought I'd go there so that they wouldn't chase me because the gate was already closed.

It's because of Kim that this happened to me. What is his intention with me? Why is he doing this?! I didn't do anything terrible to him, and I didn't hurt him significantly because I was just a mortal and not immortal like Caex.

"Don't think of that bastard again. I will kill him," he said to me, and I laughed softly, and I smiled like a child, and he looked at me, and he squeezed my cheek.

"You're laughing at me. Do you want anything from me?" He said to me. It seemed straightforward. Why does my heart seem to beat so fast when he asked that? Do I like the Caex that my counterpart has taken care of me since I was a child?

"What?! Probably not!" I laughed and slapped him on the shoulder. Even though I knew we would have a baby, I was just out of breath because if I liked him, it might be at the right time and not now. After all, maybe if he becomes my boyfriend, my life will be even more dangerous.

"You are a worried person, and I told you that I would protect you no matter what, right?" He said to me, and I nodded. Yes, I know that he will permanently save me, but I don't want to rely on him. I want to keep it myself without his help.

"You know, Caex, there's a right time to love, Be patient. It will come," I said to Caex, and his emotions now immediately changed, and Caex became lively; he smiled at me.

"I'm not hurt! So don't be assuming that! Thank god. I've known you for a long time, and I love you so much," my eyes widened at what he said, so I looked at him. He loves me so much? I thought he just wanted me, but why did he go there?

I looked at him, and he immediately lost his smile because of what he said, and Caex also seemed surprised by what he said. So I averted my eyes and ate the soup and drank the juice he also brought.

"You can go now," I said to him, and he nodded and at the same time came out of my room, and I was thinking about what he said, he loves me, so is he ready to get hurt to save me? So I touched my lips and thought.

That is why Caex kissed me? Because he loves me already!
