Face Off

Red POV.

Catherine's smile is so bright that no one can tell how angry she is. She had seen Lucas look at me funny earlier, and she couldn't control her anger toward me.

"Red, what's wrong?" What's wrong with you? Catherine stops before me and says, "I want everyone to remember this night because tonight is my big night."

"Why didn't you tell me the truth?" "Why did you lie to me?" I will give you a short answer. They did the same thing, and I could see anger in my eyes.

What exactly do you mean?" Could you please tell me what's going on here? Catherine put on a sad face. Even though she knows what I'm talking about, she acts like she doesn't know what I'm talking about.

Don't even try to mess with me! You know I'm talking about Lucas, right? I've told you how I feel about him, so why didn't you tell me that he's the man you're going to marry?! In my response, I expressed disapproval. I might have been able to forget about Lucas if Catherine hadn't reminded me that he was engaged to her.

Catherine looked at me meanly, but her answer was sad even though she smiled slyly. "I didn't tell you because I didn't want to hurt you," she said with a lot of anger.

"So, how do you think I feel right now?" I ask sarcastically.

Catherine couldn't answer immediately when the music got louder because the lights suddenly went out. The performers came out at the same time. At every party, you can always count on seeing the human dancer. They are the ones who make vampires want to drink blood all the time.

Catherine suggested we have our conversation outside. She fears I will ruin the engagement party if she sees blood.

Catherine grabs my hands and drags me out of the event hall. I can't say no because she won't let me. We go down a dark corridor that no one else goes down.

Catherine told Red a lot of emotion, "Red, you're too young, so I thought your feelings for Lucas would go away right away."

"I told you I don't feel the same about him as you do! Even though I'm still young, Lucas and I have something in common that I can't quite put my finger on. Lucas... he is my soul mate-"

"Stop!!! Red, I'm trying to be patient, so please don't make me lose it. Lucas is the name of my long-term partner, and you... Since you share some of his blood, it makes sense that you feel something for him. Catherine stopped me in the middle of what I was saying and didn't let me finish.

She is sick and tired of me talking all the time. Catherine was tired of putting on a good show and wanted to cut my throat so she wouldn't have to worry about anything in the days and weeks.

I started looking at Catherine." Lucas says that we are the same. I wanted to talk with him! So, I don't doubt that he will come once he smells my blood!" I did something stupid and cut my wrist without thinking much about it.

"What are you doing?! Catherine had a strong urge to drink my blood. So, she went from where she was standing to where I was right away.

"What are you doing right now?" When I felt Catherine sucking on my hurt wrist, I was so scared that I shook very hard. I did not expect her to do this. The reason I bleed myself is for Lucas to come to me.

"Your blood is so sweet..." Catherine said something as she sucked my wrist.

My blood is strong enough to keep her from talking... People's blood is not the same as mine.

"Catherine!"

When Lucas came out of nowhere and stood before me, I was about to pass out.

"What are you doing? I did not expect you to do this! Especially on this night!" Lucas exclaimed in a cold voice as he held me in his arms.

Catherine woke up because Lucas looked at her with an icy stare. She doesn't know anything about what's going on... When Catherine smells the blood, she loses all control and can't stop thinking about how good it would taste.

"My love... I'm genuinely sorry, but I don't know what happened..." Catherine tries to talk sense to Lucas, but all he does is give her an angry look.

"Clean yourself and go back to the hall. Your party is not over!" It was Lucas who gave the order.

"I didn't have anything to do with it!" "She made this happen to herself!" Catherine yelled and gave me an angry look while she did it. She's afraid Lucas thinks indifferent after this.

Lucas's face got more serious, but he didn't say anything because Catherine knew him well. As she walks away, she quietly says, "Okay, my love... I'm sorry... I'll heave her to your care," Cather said and walked to leave. She did not show anger, but her nails almost sank into her palms because of the hand grip.

Lucas checked out my wrist and saw that it had been cut. He already knew about what had happened. "Why did you do that? Do you want to die?" he murmured, putting his handkerchief in his pocket and putting it on my wound.

"You're going to get married to my cousin. Why?" I asked, and it seemed like I had no reason to. Almost right away, tears began to well up in my eyes. I hold on to my chest because I feel the pain in my heart.

Lucas's eyes are locked right on mine. He said, "Yes, I will marry Catherine." What is wrong with that, exactly?" He answers, but he doesn't show any emotion in any way.

"Why? Are you interested in her?" I kept pushing through the pain because I didn't know that it was making it hard for me to breathe.
