MY GUARDIAN VAMPIRE

Why must there be a farewell at every meeting?

Zara

***

Jeffry got up, was about to step his foot back to meet Zara. No. More specifically, I wanted to say goodbye to him. Because maybe Jeffry will hand Zara over to Assassin. Jeffry doesn’t want to be selfish, he just wants Zara to be fine. It’s not that easy to get out of the Immortal world, even if it is possible one of the two of them’s life will be threatened. It’s okay if it’s Jeffry. But what if Zara.

“I won’t forgive myself if Zara gets hurt because of me.” Jeffry was so worried about the princess from the Blanchard clan.

“Are you sure you want to hand Zara over to us?” The deep and hoarse voice made Jeffry’s steps stop.

“It seems you don’t know what the relationship between the two of you is yet.” His figure now emerged from the darkness, drawing closer to Jeffry. Jeffry was still standing on the spot, his eyes now glowing bright red.

The full moonlight was so bright that it showed the silhouette of Narja’s figure emerging from the dark night in Dark Angel.

“What do you mean?!” asked Jeffry coldly.

Narja chuckled and next tapped Jeffry’s shoulder – gripping him tightly. His eyes glowed sharply.

“Zara will be safe with you, so don’t think about leaving it to us!”

Narja said with a sharp gaze like an eagle. His gaze and aura succeeded in pounding Jeffry’s decision to hand Zara over to Assassin.

“You have no idea what the problem is if Zara stays with me!!” Jeffry was still trying not to be influenced by the words of the Assassin leader who gripped Jeffry’s shoulders tightly.

Narja released her grip and was heard sighing.

“You stubborn vampire!”

“Okay, it’s up to you. If you really want to hand Zara over to us, that’s good news. But…”

“Never regret it.”

“What are you thinking about?”

In front of the fireplace that the Assassins used to burn fish, Zara sat there pensively anxiously.

“Ahh no, it’s nothing.” Zara flinched when the man she thought was quiet was now asking her.

“You’re thinking about the vampire?”

“Jeffry? I’m a little worried about him. He hasn’t come back yet.” Vernon nodded slightly.

“You seem to love him a lot?”

Zara is just silent and can’t give an answer to Vernan’s strange question.

“Zara!”

Zara looked up, again her eyes were met with a face too handsome for a human being, and it managed to make Zara amazed. The seven Assassins did have faces that were really handsome like gods in Greek stories.

So, who would have thought if they were the dreaded Assassins. Legendary Assassin.

“But still, the most handsome one is sis Jayden.” Zara carved a small smile imagining her sister’s face, a face that Zara now misses so much.

“You’re hungry aren’t you? Here, eat!” Zara’s eyes immediately fell on the grilled fish that Ronald brought.

“This must be delicious!” Zara grabs him fast.

“Why don’t you eat it?” Ronald stares in surprise as Zara gives him the grilled fish again.

“I’ll see you later Ronald, you eat first with the others.”

“Can’t! You have to eat it now!” Jake’s voice interrupted.

“I won’t eat before…”

“Give!”

Before Zara could finish her sentence, the vampire figure that Zara had been worried about for a long time was now in front of her and forcibly snatched the grilled fish that Ronald had brought.

Zara is a little disbelieving when Jeffry is suddenly in front of her. “I know Jeffry, you won’t leave me.” Zara’s happy smile broke.

Ronald sat back down by the fire, Narja had also eaten the grilled fish followed by the others.

“Open your mouth!” Zara opened her mouth quickly when Jeffry’s hand shoved the grilled fish into her mouth.

“Delicious hums.” mumbled Zara.

“Why are you waiting for me, aren’t you already starving Zara?!” Jeffery protested.

“I went to look for animal blood, you don’t have to worry. There shouldn’t be a need to wait for me.”

Zara is silent, she is still enjoying chewing her food. “He’s already like Jayden, so happy to nag me!

But wait..”

“Jeffry is you? Jeffry the cold and heartless vampire?” Vernan and Jake who were sitting near Jeffry laughed after hearing Zara’s story.

“Don’t tell me you’re starting to love me now.” said Zara almost in a whisper.

“Swallow your food!”

“Yes, sweet vampire.” Zara gives her smile to Jeffry. More like a defiant smile.

Jeffrey took a deep breath.

“I shouldn’t have left you with these creatures for too long. Now you’re more terrible than them.”

“Jeffry!!”

Zara just looked annoyed to see Jeffry who laughed after mocking her.

“You’re joking with Vampires. You are stupid Zara!” he was furious.

“Actually you make me worry, you didn’t say you wanted to go look for animal blood yourself.” snorted Zara. His face still looks annoyed.

Jeffry’s brown irises are now observing every inch of the happy face that radiates from Zara, not passing through any part of the beam of happiness. The smile that Zara carved made Jeffry really not willing to part with the owner of that beautiful smile now.

“From this moment on, I will never leave you or intend to give you to someone else. I will take care of you myself. Until the time when we must part.”

“Stop it! Who told you to daydream. Come on, open your mouth, vampires need to eat too, right?” Zara thrusts her grilled fish into Jeffry’s mouth. “Why are you even looking at me like that. Eat!”

Jeffry smiled then complied and opened his mouth.

For a few moments the atmosphere was very quiet. Only a small stream from the river and plus the insect animals that act at night. Jeffry had been silent since the beginning, watching Zara, who had almost finished her meal.

Suddenly someone’s hand stretched out in front of Zara’s face. Suddenly, Jeffry and Zara raised their heads together.

“Want to dance with me?” asked Vernan still holding out his hand.

Zara smiles hearing Vernan’s offer. He really wants to dance because Zara loves to dance. Even if it’s just a hidden talent.

But Zara can’t say yes, she is afraid to offend Jeffry. Zara turned to the side looking at the figure of the man beside her.

Unexpectedly Jeffry agreed to Zara’s wish, it made Zara smile happily and stretched out her hand, and immediately Vernan gripped the milky white hand tightly.

Vernan pulled Zara by the bonfire and started dancing. This is not the romantic dance you think. The Assassins said it was a victory dance with agile movements, jumping to and fro, turning, clapping hands. “This is so much fun!” shouted Zara with joy.

Shortly after Vernan and Zara dance, the other six Assassins also join in and dance together.

“You guys are really good at dancing!” Zara’s eyes stare in amazement. Seeing the Assassins who danced lively.

“We often do it when there’s no practice at Mordo.” Jake said with a happy look on his smile.

Zara also looks so happy, smiling broadly showing a row of teeth. She spun around gracefully and was caught in turn by the Assassins.

Jeffry who witnessed that, did not know why his feelings were so calm. Zara’s laughter made Jeffry’s cruel figure soften, making him believe that the woman who was laughing happily in front of him was destined to be with him until the appointed time.

***

The fireplace now leaves only smoke and wood charcoal in the form of small lumps. The Assassins seemed to be busy packing wearing long black robes that became their identity.

“Will we meet again?”

“Yes Zara. We promise to meet you again someday.”

“I don’t want to feel like I have to part with you guys, what if we go tomorrow?”

Narja let go of her hug and looked at Zara’s face which was still gloomy.

“You’ll be fine.” Zara still has no intention of changing her sad expression.

“You promised to see me again. Don’t lie to me!”

“How could we lie to you. We love you so much.” Jake walked over to Zara and hugged her tightly.

“Thank you.” Jake whispered between his arms.

“Thank you for making a comfortable bed.” said Zara, who now turned into a happy smile.

Then the other Assassins approached hugging Zara in turn as a farewell. “Next time I’ll catch a bigger fish.” Levando chuckled.

“Tsk! I can’t believe it!” Zara let go of her arms and smiled annoyed and exasperated at the same time with this one creature.

“That’s right. I’m going to ask you to dance again too.” Vernan smiled a little as usual.

“And I’ll make even more delicious grilled fish!” said Ronald.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

“See you again beautiful.” Daniel blinked his eyes, making the others chuckle lazily.

“Take care of yourself Zara.” Arya also gave a sweet smile.

They then stepped closer to their horses. “Protect Zara. She is very precious to us.” Narja did not escape hugging someone who was standing next to Zara.

“That’s my job!” said Jeffry firmly.

“And also. If Zara gets hurt. Then I will take it myself!” Before walking away, Jake also said goodbye to Jeffry and hugged him.

“Unfortunately that will never happen.” Jeffry said with full emphasis on every word he said.

“Then great!” Jake let go of his arms along with a smirk that he threw at Jeffry.

The seven of them finally got on their horses and left. They raced their horses as fast as they could towards Mordo, even though they couldn’t achieve their goal of getting out of Mordo. But one thing they got, they got a beautiful happiness that they had never felt before, also got a really meaningful love for the seven Assassins.

“See you.” Zara stares sadly at the departure of the Assassins. His hand was still waving at the Assassins who were out of reach.

“Let’s go!” Jeffry grabbed Zara’s hand and led her out of the Dark Angel forest. To their destination, Bijarim Valley.

“Hey Miss Zara!”

“Clue?!” asked Zara with a shocked expression when suddenly Cluen stood in front of her.

“Where have you been?”

“You cowardly ghost!!” Jeffry’s joke made Zara give him a sharp look.

“Hust! He’s Jeffry’s little boy.”Zara released her grip on Jeffry and ran over to Cluen.

“I’m always by your side Miss Zara. But you don’t know it. I’m afraid to see those horrible creatures just now.”explained Cluen he walked hand in hand with Zara and Jeffry.

“They are very good Cluen. There is no need to be afraid.”

“Oh yes sir Jeffry, Miss Zara! Looks like you have to leave Dark Angel immediately, I heard there is a group of people in black hoods looking for Miss Zara.”

“You’re not talking nonsense!” hearing the story of the funny ghost, Jeffry began to be wary. He knows very well, all the vampires are hunting Zara. Searching everywhere in the immortal world. Even in the Dark Angel forest area, they did not escape their hunting. Threats and all forms of attack will always come to him and Zara.

“No sir! Get out of here quickly. You’ve been in the Dark Angel for too long. The creatures here will also put you in danger.”

words Cluen’s not approved by Zara.

“We’ve only been here all night Cluen,”

“Hahaha… you’re wrong Miss Zara. You’ve been here almost 3 days.”

words Cluen’s managed to make Jeffry and Zara surprised at the same time.

“Three days?! How is that possible?” Zara stares in disbelief at Cluen’s words. Because it felt like Zara had just entered the Dark Angel area and stayed the night.

“How does time here go so fast?”

“As expected from the start. The illusion here is very strong, we must leave immediately and I will take you running.” Jeffry insisted and Zara gave a steady nod. He is ready for whatever he is facing now.

“I’ll be fine. There’s nothing to worry about.” Zara reassured herself while holding Jeffry’s hand without hesitation.

“Come on Cluen!” Zara stares in surprise as Cluen stays where he is.

“Take good care of yourself Miss Zara.” Cluen waved his hand as Jeffry had taken Zara off.

“What?! No! Wait Jeffry! What about Cluen?” Zara stares worriedly as Cluen disappears from her sight.

“We have to go.” said Jeffry quietly.

“Why is there always a farewell in every meeting. I hate this! Cluen see you later. I promise to come back to this forest and meet.”

Zara shouts with all her might, this kind of thing is the thing that Zara hates the most. Cluen are good and fun friends. At least the ghost of the little boy had made Zara’s journey in the Dark Angel forest a bit more enjoyable.

Even without the two of them knowing, Cluenwho asked the creatures in the Dark Angel forest not to disturb them.

“It’s okay Zara, one day we will meet the Assassin and that cowardly ghost, I mean Cluen.

We have to get to Bijarim Valley soon. Because after that I will take you back to the underworld.”

Jeffery tightened his grip. Trying to make Zara feel better.

Zara silently sheds her tears. She still felt sad after a brief meeting and ended with a brief farewell. First the Assassins and now the Cluen are gone too.

“We’ll be fine. Stay with me and be by my side. Look at this!” Jeffry raised their hands link.

“Never take it off!”
