Chapter 14
1105 Words
Lucia POV :
What is love?
Is always thought that true love only exist in the novel I read because you can't be like Bella who has your own Edward or find those kind of love that you had read because in the real life, love fading.
There is nothing like Vampire, Werewolves or other creatures that could be in love with human because they didn't exist or that's what I thought.
Face it, the only love that I see was only from my parents, my father and my mother were married because of love until it fades and now he can't handle meeting her, so what is love in the real life actually?
It won't last forever like I always thought.
That's why people like to read novels because we all know that we can't find those stories in our real life.
We can't be like Catherine and Heathcliff in the Wuthering Heights or like Marianne in Sense and Sensibility who had her first heartbroken but finally find the perfect man for her. In this real life nothing like that could happen to us.
I blinks several times to realize that I laid in the familiar bedroom, I know it was Malcolm's place.
Sighed, slowly I get up from the bed before stroke my long brunet hair and studying the room for the second times.
Everything comes into my head.
The first meeting.
The strange conversation.
The queen nickname.
He can't be Edward; I thought and chuckled for thinking him as vampire with fangs.
Vampire didn't exist, right?
Right?
. . L u c I a . .
The wind..
These years I heard my name being called by the wind, so it's not my imagination
I saw a laptop in his table beside his small library and this sudden idea appears before I stood up to walk there then quickly turn it on.
I grab the USB from my bags beside the bed and plug into the laptop.
I open the save pages and start reading it.
Another story about the Silent Forest. Nope.
Werewolves exist and people who saw it. Nope.
Talking trees. What? Are we in the Lord of the Ring movies? Nope.
The Black Family and the Shadow People.
Hmm...
Click.
Known as Black family, they also known as the darkness.
Malcolm Black comes to Dingle at 1711 and people feared him when he bought the land around the Silent forest and build his own mansion inside it.
No one sees him and the Mayor also didn't remember his face.
People losing their memories after the man meet them; no one knows how he builds his mansion because he didn't use anyone inside the Dingle.
Fox and mist comes when people start showing their interest to go to see the mansion.
We also heard that he build huge castle in the middle of the Silent forest and wolves comes around it as their protector.
One girl found death after people saw her go with one of Black member, but again, no one can see or remember his face.
'He's like a shadow' the girl's father said because all he can remember only the black appearance
"Shadow people?" I murmured because I never heard anything about it before start reading again.
A number of religions, legends, and belief systems describe shadowy spiritual beings or supernatural entities such as shades of the underworld, and various shadowy creatures have long been a staple of folklore and ghost stories.
The first time the topic of shadow people was discussed after that and now they call the Black's as the shadow people.
They described them as dark silhouettes with human shapes and profiles that flicker in and out of peripheral vision since we got information that people saw them but can't see or remember the faces.
Shadow people known with their darkness power who can disappear when it's dark.
Wind, Water, Wood, Fire and Moon are their strength element.
"Wind" I remember hearing my name being called when the wind blows.
Wood, Water; that's why they like living here surround by two elements.
Fire.. Moon..
Oh God.
I sighed before stopped reading and shut down the laptop.
I read too much, I thought and start walking around the room before landing to the picture frame that held three people on it; it is Malcolm with someone, a man and woman beside him.
He look mad while the other two smiling beautifully to the camera.
But it's black and white picture and when I studying their appearance, it looks old.
I look it again and know that it is Malcolm.
It can't be his grandfather.
Those eyes and the scowl...
Oh God..
Malcolm Black comes to Dingle at 1711..
"Um.. May I know how old are you?"
"Old"
"Old? Old to be my father?"
"How about old enough to be your great great great grandfather?"
Oh God, what is he?
Shadow people known with their darkness power who can disappear when it's dark.
Wind, Water, Wood, Fire and Moon are their strength element.
Shadow people.
"You awake"
I gasped and quickly twirl around to see him lean on the door with his eye intensely staring at me.
I slowly take one step back when he starts moving to my direction and I watch how his eyebrow rise when he saw my reaction.
"Lucia?"
"Sorry, I'm really confused right now" I sighed and throw myself on the nearest couch.
But shockingly he gave me a small smile before slowly walks to where I sat and take a seat in front on me.
"Take your time" He said kindly and I scoff because he is the one who make me confused right now.
We both sat there for a minute staring at each other, me with my crazy thought while he look amuse with everything he saw in me until he burst out laughing.
"Why you laugh?!" I exclaim and throw the pillow into his head and shock him for a second before he stood up and try to grabs me who laughed hard and already run away from him.
"AAHHH.." I scream when he almost reaches me on the door but luckily Tobius arrived so I hid behind him before run again from both men.
"Lucia!" I heard Malcolm growl but I already running away to I don't know where since I can't remember the direction of this huge house.
I never laugh this hard and the feels for laughing like this overwhelmed me.
Oh Malcolm.
I don't care what you are.
What did you do to me?
I hope it won't hit me in the end..
