Chapter 23 His Scent Alone
I can't count how many times I've hit Travis on the back. The thick snow chasing us is slowly being swallowed by the water. And as it melts, it gets closer to the three of us.
"Travis! It's going to catch us!"
I wasn't buried by the cold snow, but I'm going to drown. Damn.
"It really will catch us, Saera. You know how to swim, right?" Randall asked me, not even nervous. In fact, he's even grinning now.
While Travis is laughing like he's enjoying this chase.
Damn, I'm with crazy vampires. They're really just like their brother, who likes to walk out.
I just looked up when the moon was completely covered by the water. It's going to swallow us, and now I'm thankful that my grandmother taught me how to swim.
"It's been a while since I took a bath. I didn't think that the king of Aetherio would be the one to give me a bath," Randall said, laughing.
"What the hell?" Travis replied.
I just screamed when the very tall water completely crashed down on us. Fuck! It's so cold.
I lost my grip on Travis, and I don't know where the vampire siblings are. I remained still and let my body be carried by the violent movement of the water as if I were part of it.
What the hell, Kaizer? You really just let me almost be buried by your own power? I can't even hear his voice inside my mind.
Won't he even find out if his brothers brought me to safety? Didn't he think that the only reason I drank Idris's blood was that I couldn't call him anymore? I need someone's blood to gain strength and for him to feel my presence.
Is drinking another man's blood already betrayal? Doesn't he know that he's the one I'm thinking about while I'm drinking Idris's blood?
Damn that vampire prince.
I was about to swim up when I felt something pulling on my long dress. What the hell? I should have just brought my clothes from my world. I wouldn't have to put up with these fancy clothes.
I immediately looked at it and completely gasped when I saw that it was caught on a tree branch. Fuck! Not now! I'm starting to run out of air. I held onto my dress with all my strength and tried to pull it.
Shit! Not now! I'm starting to run out of air. I tried to pull it again, but it really wouldn't come off. What am I going to do?
My chest is getting tight. Oh god! Did a vampire die because they drowned? Fuck. Fuck. Come on, Saera, you can do this.
I pulled with all my might, but it still wouldn't come off. Shit. Aren't vampires supposed to be strong? Why can't I do this with just a little pulling? Where are those siblings? The remaining air in my body is running out.
I tried to pull it again, but no matter what I did, it wouldn't come off. My hands are getting weak, my eyes are blurring. Fuck.
I finally let go of my very long skirt, and I exhaled the air that I had been holding in. I'm going to die here. I started to lose strength, and I felt my body slowly sinking.
Kaizer...
I just smiled bitterly when I saw the image of Kaizer slowly approaching me. Impossible, he's far away now. He even blocked our mind link. How would he know that I'm drowning?
Even though I know that what I'm seeing now is just a hallucination, I gently reached out my hands to him. But he didn't reach for them. Instead, I just felt his two hands on my shoulder. And I wanted to curse at what he was doing.
He is the real Kaizer!
He violently tore my very long skirt in half. He is damn undressing me! I'm not wearing bras for pete's sake! Fuck. Fuck. Couldn't he just tear it at the bottom? Why does he have to undress me?! I'm only wearing underwear. What the hell?!
I couldn't complain about what he was doing to me. I'm too weak. When he completely undressed me, he hugged me tightly, and I just felt some kind of force pushing us upwards.
I'll make sure that this vampire receives more than just a few slaps from me.
When I could see the light of the moon more clearly, my heart was at peace. I need air.
I immediately coughed when we got out of the water. We're currently sitting on something cold. It could be Kaizer's block of ice. I can feel that I'm in his arms. Hugging my exposed body.
"You're already washed. I can no longer smell that dog from you."
He gently stroked my cheek, which I immediately avoided. He just wants to remove Idris's smell from me?! Because of that thing? He let me be swallowed by that deadly tsunami?! I almost died!
When I got enough air, I tried to break free from him.
"Let me go," I said coldly.
"Saera..."
I immediately frowned at the tone of his voice as if he was still surprised by my actions. Does he expect me to thank him for the nonsense he did?
I immediately distanced myself from him while trying to cover my chest. A strong slap quickly flew to his cheek while one of my arms remained on my chest.
"Is that really how you get jealous, Kaizer? You almost killed me! You vampire!"
He just smirked at what I said while staring at my arm blocking my chest.
"I don't want to smell another man on your body, Saera. That dress, it stinks with that dog. It should be my scent alone, Saera. Only my smell can trail on every part of the beautiful body I see now."
What the hell? Why am I feeling like this? Did I think I was angry at this man? Why did my overflowing anger suddenly melt with just a few words from him? I'm no longer under the water, and I'm surrounded by air.
Why am I having a harder time breathing now? Why is my chest tight again? Damn this vampire prince.
My arms are getting tighter on my chest as I look at Kaizer more closely. I don't like what I'm seeing in the snow prince's eyes. It's starting to turn red again, and I know for myself that even my eyes are following its color.
"I'm angry at you, Kaizer. Don't come near me. Close those damn eyes of yours!"
I'm starting to back away from where I'm sitting while staring at the vampire who seems to not be hearing anything anymore.
"I can't, Saera, you're too beautiful. I can't close my eyes."
