Ms. Nawahdee sat , gloomy and rough faced in front of the dressing table in the her bed chamber . The aging image of herself in the mirror horrify her but she was careful not to show it in her expression . Nana enter the room and reach for the comb on the table , she walk toward the old lady and gently comb the long massive hair , that was once black now turning gray . Their moment was pass in silent , until Ms. Nawadee being to speak , “does it really show”
Nana’s hand was shaken , she glance at the reflection in the mirror and quickly look away . “no, you look quite normal”
“I look my age” she corrected , her finger tip trait the wrinkle line on her cheek and forehead . All her youth was drain out due to lost of her own blood while saving Prisana , many months ago . Though she greatly regret the lost but the outcome had save Jade ‘s live as well but her only worry is her son . She afraid Aum will notice the dramatic changes and question her human existence .
“the makeup will cover most of the wrinkle” said Nana , placing the comb on the table , reaching for the makeup kit , she start to work on Ms.Nawadee ’s face.
“I’m tire of having to wear makeup everyday” she sighed. The greatest pleasure about being a vampire , is their kind are slow in aging and now that ability is lost. Vampire can live a long life and they do die in old age , nothing like those rumor and storyteller that said their kind can live for century ! Vampire are born with human characteristic and possession their natural way of life , death and birth . The only difference between them and human , is their ability to possess super strength , slow aging, transform and relies on blood to survive under the sun which prevent them from dissolving into dust . Aum is believe to be the last male vampire and if his off spring doesn’t produce a vampire ‘s blood , then their kind will end . Since it rare to produce a vampire’s blood , Aum next child is probable human and the burden of carrying the next vampire’s seed is Jade. The future is not certain and it unnecessary to stress this out with the demon . If the line end , it a lost after so many century of their existence.
There was a knock at the door , Prisana came in with a tray in her and place it on the desk beside the window . “I didn’t see you at breakfast this morning”
“I’m not hungry” said Ms.Nawahdee , watching the girl thru the reflection on the mirror . Nana signal for the girl to leave .
“I brought some fresh coffee--”
“vampire doesn’t require food” her tone was cold and deadly
Prisana felt unease , “but it’s necessary to consume some , since right now you are ill”
“you know pretty much why”
“yes , I do” Prisana sigh and lower her head, “it’s because you save my life , I’m very grateful to receive a second chance in life”
“I done it for Jade and nothing else!” said Ms.Nawahdee , with her eye piercing at the mirror . Nana finish applying the makeup and turn to Prisana , once again she signal the young girl to leave .
Prisana understood, “I’m sorry to bother you . I’m leaving” she walk toward the door and then turn around , “I promise . Your secret will be safe with me” she left the room .
Nana was working on the old lady hair , tying it into a bun and use several pin to held it in place. “she came in peace”
“You think I’m to harsh on her”
“she might be your enemy ‘s daughter but you can’t mix the past to judge this girl fate”
“I try. Nana, I try. But every time I see her face , somewhere in my mind see mother laughing at me”
“you will never have peace if you let the past haunt your present , you have to learn how to forgive and forgave”
“I can’t. The wound in my heart still hurt. My husband , the man I love more than life itself , despise me and everyday he moan for another woman”
“the master doesn’t hate you”
“nor does he love me, that enough”
Nana step away and awe her work . “you look lovely”
All the mistress was at the entrance hall with their luggage by their side . One by one the servant load it into the cars that was waiting outside. The women cries into each other arm and said farewell, though their time was short but they had became fond of each other thru the years they live together. They will miss all the luxury and shopping , most of all each other . The demon stood beside Prisana , he listen to everyone of their cries and speeches , then hand them each an envelope , inside was a check and the amount was more than their 20 years salary if they were to stay in the mansion. Some was curious and eagerly tore the envelope , they were please and hurry out the mansion .
Ms. Nawahdee came from behind her son and watch the farewell ceremony. She heard about the new this morning and was upset with the demon decision , after all , those woman was hand pick by her . Now , the only blood supply left is Prisana and the servant in the mansion . Knowing her son , Prisana will be the only person he will ever sink his teeth in again . Aum had always been clear on what he want and nothing can convince him otherwise . He quality laid in his head strong and determine but his sudden changes of behavior and accepting human as his soul mate did surprise Ms. Nawahdee. The vampire whom once cold and heartless became a bombshell of human ‘s emotion.
Le was the last one to came down the stair and immediately was greeted by Tai. He offer to hold her luggage. She went to embrace Prisana, “take good care of yourself and Jade . If I have some free time , I’ll visit the both of you”
“thank you for being a good friend” said Prisana
Le smile and turn to the demon , “be sure to keep that witch away from my friend” she warned
“I will protect her with my life” said the demon
Le sigh and turn toward the door . Tai follow . They got outside where the car was waiting . Tai throw the luggage into the trunk and close it shut. He turn to Le , there was like a knot at his throat but his eye tell it all . The sadness and lost of a good companion . Le was tearing up but manage to laugh it out , she hit his shoulder and said “don’t u dare cry! I’ll visit” . She step inside the car . He close the door for her . The car move away from him , slowly at first and then speed up . He wave the last goodbye. Le turn in her seat and wave back. Tear was building up in their eye.
Rina was observing the cars that drove out the mansion , thru the window from her chamber and was please that all the damn mistress left . Now there only her and Prisana. She know the demon will not divorce her because Ms.Nawahdee will not allow it. Even though her relationship with her husband is a stranger at this point but she doesn’t care , she will have her revenge soon enough. As long as she remain married to him , nobody can kick her out the mansion . It doesn’t matter if his attention is completely on that bitch and that stupid child . At the moment she will remain at a distance and let the two lover enjoy their happiness together. Her venom will cumulate slowly ..waiting for the right time to strike .
Later that night the demon went into his father chamber and told him everything that happen during the past couple months . His father knew about Prisana absent because the night she left she came to say farewell to him. Another thing the demon what to ask , “ is it normal for a vampire to feed on animal?”
“it’s possible” reply the old man
“Jade been feeding on fish blood”
“it’s possible that our kind is slowly adapting to human environment over the century , we never feed on animal blood before and never thought of testing it out , this new founding could be useful . If Jade doesn’t need human blood , then it’s best she stay that way but if in the future she have too , then you must show her how”
“I’m afraid it’s unhealthy”
“you fear the unknown , it because you were grown up feeding on human’s blood and thought this was the right way , it’s not always the case my son. Your mother believe only the finest blood can produce a child”
“it’s not ?”
“no, it’s not. It true that human blood increase in quality when their body reach ecstasy but to successfully create a child , there must be love”
The demon smile , “I have felt it everytime we are together”
“have you told her yet?”
“I haven’t”
“why ? What are you waiting for ?”
“Before , I doubt my feeling was true and thought my hunger was from lust but the more time I spend with her , the more I understand myself. I thought about telling her but I was afraid she doesn‘t feel the same way , I was afraid of rejection until the night I feed on her at the lake house”
“you detected her love thru the blood, us vampire can read human feeling thru this connection”
“her blood was sweet , full of honey and--” he close his eye to relive the memory.
His father laugh, “I know the feeling , I have been in love before”
The demon open his eye , “but your love is un-fateful to one that love you dearest”
“I loved your mother .We were childhood lover and known each other nearly our entire life but Seyla was someone I love as well”
“how can one man love two woman?”
“because I was selfish , I didn’t balance the scale and favor one over the other , even though deep in my heart I know your mother was hurt because of my infidelity but at the same time I can not leave Seyal”
“your endless moan for this woman had cause mother great pain , she hate to see you dwell in past and waste your life like this”
“I need closure. Seyla left me while she was pregnant with my child and till this day , im still in a stage of denial , not sure if she dead or alive . My mind will never rest until these question is answer”
The demon sense the sadness in his father’s voice . Aum had always been angry at his father for throwing his life away over a measly human. But now everything seen to make sense . Love is powerful . It can drive a person mad with hatred or kill a life time of happiness but love can also be a bliss. Until Prisana came into his life , everything he had ever known about human was just lust and blood meal . It never cross his mind to ever love one and now he did. And very much. The demon left his father ‘s bed chamber and return to his . Prisana was sound asleep or at least what he thought . Jade was in the crib. He slip under the cover as quietly as possible , making sure not to disturb her . Then he felt her body snuggle up against his back , he turn to face her and pull her head to rest on his chest.
“you felt so cold” she mummer, half a sleep and half awaken.
“then give me more body heat” he chuckle
She move closer and wrap her arm around his shoulder , rubbing his muscular bicep to produce heat . His arm slid around her narrow hip and rest behind her buttock. She smile against his chest, “what are you doing, I’m tire and sleepy”
“blame it on your puny body , my arm alone cover half of you”
“then stay still, I’m going back to sleep” she mummer , and felt his hand lightly squeeze her bottom in a teasing way but was to sleepy to even protest.
“I love you” he whisper . He waited for her response. “Prisana , I love you”. He lift his head up and look downward. She was asleep . He kiss her forehead and laid back down. He wasn’t sure if she heard it or not. And he is not sure if he will have enough encourage tomorrow to say it again. After talking to his father , he felt the urge to tell her but damn it…why does she have to go back to sleep for ? The demon close his eye and held her closer . Actually , she did hear him and thought she was dreaming until he said again . Her heart pound like a drum. Butterfly spread it’s wing in her stomach . She blush brightly under the darkness.
Nana’s hand was shaken , she glance at the reflection in the mirror and quickly look away . “no, you look quite normal”
