THE KNIGHT IN THE DARK (ENGLISH VERSION)

Chapter 10

Chapter 10

"AUNTIE Nely, can I tour myself around this place? I don't have class every Sunday!" I said as I bit my lower lip.

“Catherine, you know this place, right? It's too dangerous to go out alone,” she objected. It's so vivid to me that Aunt Nely's don't let me do things on my own. I sighed.

"Even just in that cradle?" I even pointed that out so that my aunt wouldn't have to worry. Aunt Nely let out a sighed.

"Fine! You can go ahead. Just don't go far away. I'll leave you now because I'm not done yet cleaning up the dining area," aunt Nely said and bid her goodbye to me and immediately went inside the house.

To my excitement, I hurriedly walked fast near the cradle. I even looked around to avoid being caught if I passed behind the house. I really want to visit that place regularly. It's like my legs are always being pulled just to go there.

I was constantly plucking the lush leaves that covered my path. When I plucked the last stem and saw what's in front of me. I was swiftly surprised by this beautiful garden. I hurriedly dropped my whole body on the grass and slowly closed my eyes. I feel so calm every time I go to this place.

"Catherine..." My eyes widened at what I heard. I looked around and examined my surroundings a little more. If I'm not mistaken, I know that he is here. I immediately got up and sat down.

"Can you just come out?" I beg, trying to persuade him if he ever wants to show up in front of me. But a few minutes later he did not appear. I was a little sad that he didn't respond to my request.

"Catherine…" He suddenly whispered in my ear and I was very startled, but I immediately recovered from that and replaced my nervousness with so much joy. I closed my eyes because I felt him hugging me from behind.

"...rewrite it over and over again but it will always connect again..." He said and I was very happy because the words he was saying were not few like the usual he does. And It's nice to hear his adult-like voice. My eyes widened and I was slightly disappointed because I didn't see his face.

"What did he say?" I whispered in the void. I glanced at my watch. My God! I have been staying here for almost four hours. I immediately got up and ran home.

"CATHERINE! My God! Where are you!?" I heard my aunt calling me. I immediately positioned myself behind her.

"Catherine!" Aunt Nely called me again.

"Aunt Nely, why?" I asked and pretended that I hadn't gone for too long.

"My God, Catherine! You surprised me!” Aunt Nely said as she clutched her chest. Looks like I startled her too much.

"I'm sorry..." I bit my lower lip.

"Oh God! Where the hell have you been? I've been looking for you everywhere?"

"I was just roaming around the garden, auntie. I guess you just didn't see me. The bushes were quite long," I reasoned without breaking my gaze to her.

"Oh, maybe. But next time, don't go near the forest. Do you understand me?" Aunt Nely said while her expressions were a little bit perplexed. She must be hesitant about buying my alibi.

"Why are you searching for me, auntie?" I asked.

"I called you so we can have our dinner. Come on! Let's go inside."

I just nodded my head. I sparingly smiled while following her. It's just so heartwarming that Aunt Nely really treated me well and took care of me.

I breathed a sigh of relief. I looked at my wristwatch. It's already seven o'clock in the evening and I didn't even realize it earlier.

WHILE we were at the dining table, I was very worried and I couldn't figure out why. Those words that he tells me kept running through my mind.

"Auntie Nely, what do you mean when you rewrite this over and over again but it will always be linked again," I said confusedly. I tried to think about the meaning of it but I ended up with nothing.

"That means forever," she answered with a smile. I thought again and later on I was not convinced by her answer.

"Is there a symbol of that?" I'm suddenly curious.

“Of course, Catherine. It looks like number eight but it was lying down like this," aunt Nely answered again while she drew it for me. I nodded my head and smiled at her.

"Why did you ask, Catherine?"

"I just read it in a book."

"Oh, anyway it is called the infinity symbol too."

My mouth just opened and formed in a circle. I was thinking if he was also talking about the time. Should I meet him again? Aunt Nely seriously looked at me. I shut my mouth and smiled at my aunt once again.

I glanced at my watch. It's only two minutes to go before it turns to eight o'clock in the evening. I immediately stood up.

"I have to go to bed early because I need to study. Also, can you please not disturb me while I'm in my room, auntie?" I said nervously.

I hope she didn't see my fingers fidgeting. I want to hurry because I only have a few minutes left to see him again. Aunt Nely then thought about it a little but eventually nodded. I immediately left in front of her and simply entered my room. I took a cloak and carefully left the house using the back door of the kitchen area.

Fortunately Mrs. Zoldic will not be home tomorrow so I guess I will not be busted if I sneak out tonight. I walked fast and while heading back to the secret garden. I can't stop scolding myself. I'm so stupid because I didn't immediately guess what it wanted to convey to me earlier. He might want us to meet again and I am feeling very happy. Though, I'm not even sure of my feelings about him. The important thing is that I am happy every time I feel his presence. Even if he is just a lowly stranger.

I'm sweating and catching my breath. It was past eight o'clock when I arrived at this hidden garden. I could feel my throat getting dry so I didn't hesitate to drink water from the clear river. I scooped it with my palms and immediately drank it. I even put my cloak aside because it was too much of an obstacle for me to drink. When I was about to drink again, I was very surprised when a worm crawled on my hand. I was startled and shook my hand as I tried to let it loose on sticking my hand. I suddenly then lost my balance causing me to fall completely into the water. I screamed and I felt so irritated because I was absolutely soaked.

“Ugh! Why now!?" I said exasperatedly.

"Catherine..." I faced the left side of the river. I almost hold my breath. He's here! Just like he always looked, wearing a jacket and hiding his face in his hoodie. I could clearly see its entirety because of the intensity of the light coming from the moon.

"Ah... What... I'm sorry if I look like this. Because I slipped…" I stuttered as I told him my explanation. It did not comment on what I said and just remained standing.

"Even though it's considered blind, the feeling is still so strong."

I bit my bottom lip. Here we go again with the words he was dropping. I couldn't even understand what he was talking about but later on, I kinda thought for a moment. He seems to want me to close my eyes. I rolled my eyes and tried my luck on guessing it.

I closed my eyes and tried to feel my surroundings. I feel the movement of the water around me. I gasped because of his sudden approach in front of me as he wrapped his arm to my waist. I can feel his cold skin touching me. I can also feel his every breath he takes. He hugged me gently and it was as if I felt lighter. I clung to his neck. I noticed that he had long hair that only reached his neck. I moved my right hand and felt his face. His forehead is wide. His eyebrows are also slightly thick which I think suits him. He also has long eyelashes and a pointed nose. I smiled and bit my lower lip. I finally felt his lips.

My lips parted a little because I felt him gently nibbling on one of my fingers. I can feel the heat of its tongue lingering around my fingers. I can also feel its fangs. No doubt, he is one of them. But when I'm with him it feels like I'm always safe and I can never deny that to myself that I'm starting to look for him. Even though I don't know his full identity.

I slightly removed my finger from his mouth and ran it down to his muscular chest. I smiled weakly again. My suspicion was correct. He's not just a mysterious man, he looks so strong and handsome. I guess?

"You seem to be satisfied with what you have touched…" he suddenly said. I laughed a little and still remained with my eyes closed.

"I can't help it..." I answered shyly.

"I've been waiting for you..." he said.

I was taken aback. I was suddenly feeling confused. Why do I feel like I know what it means? I sighed. I really want to open my eyes. I wanted to see him.

"Why?" I just answered and hugged him tightly.

"...you will know one day when the time comes…" he said.

I suddenly feel his hands crawling inside my clothes. I gasped. It's like I'm getting weak from the way he was caressing my whole body. I felt like I was hypnotized. And in just a blink of an eye, I was totally naked. Can't even remember how the hell he did that! Did he just rip my clothes without me noticing it?

“...you are mine only, Catherine…" he whispered to me and I felt very happy hearing that coming from him.

He lightly touched his lips to my neck. I feel like I'm having a convulsion because my body suddenly feels so hot. I clung tightly to his neck when his mouth landed on my n*****s. He sucked it gently but passionately. I can feel its extreme caution not to injure me by biting my two hard n*****s. I was overwhelmed with so much pleasure he was giving me. I can't believe I am enjoying this!

I grip onto his neck as I arched my body to give him more access. Damn it! I am losing control of myself. I can't even tell him to stop! Feels like my body knew and longing for him for a very long time. And my body feels so weary. I couldn't even utter some words even if I wanted to.

"...aah..." I moaned over and over again. His touches become rough and I can feel his nails buried on my back. I gasped and breathed heavily. He stopped sucking my n*****s and his lips crawled back from my lips. He gently nibbles my bottom lip. I moaned once again and closed my eyes tightly.

Then I suddenly feel that my thighs have risen. He was lifting it up and gently straddling it around his waist line.

“...ahh!” I screamed loudly because I couldn't feel its immediate penetration deep inside me. And because of the intensity of its strength, I did not see that coming and was not prepared. It's like my insides are torn apart.

“...ssh…" he whispered to me. My mouth was open wide and my moan scattered in void. I am still feeling hurt inside. His hugeness is quite not unbearable since it was my first time. Damn it Catherine! I want to scold myself for having a one night stand with a stranger. Not just an ordinary stranger! He was a vampire for Pete's sake! I couldn't just believe how the hell I managed to make love with him right now!

He kissed me again and I still felt the intense pain between my thighs but eventually as time went by, it was replaced by intense pleasure. He continued to thrust me and I couldn't stop screaming. I tilted my head and watched the moon that was so bright. The full moon was witness to how we became as one.

With every thrust he makes, I also screamed incessantly. I can even feel his strong grip on my waist. I admit I was hurt but I didn't care. He was so hard and moving so rough inside me that I couldn't stop clinging to both of his shoulders, causing my nails to get buried on it. I couldn't even open my eyes because of the sensation he was giving me.

And in just an instant, I could feel myself lying in the lush grass.

"...aah..." I screamed as I was feeling exhausted. It seems like mine will be destroyed because of the intensity of his thrust. I was surprised that I was able to meet its thrust when it was so strong.

"....aah..." I screamed again and again until I reached my very first climax.

"...ugh..." I heard him growl loudly causing the birds that were silent in the trees to fly away. In an instant I was on top of him. I couldn't really open my eyes anymore because of the intensity of the fatigue. I feel like I'm getting sleepy.
