Vampire Diaries 5: Disobey Your Heart

~ Third Person's Point of View ~

Emilia was looking for a particular book on the shelf while Jack was sitting on a dusty, old chair.

He was flipping the grimy pages of a book, thinking that it was the one that he was searching for almost an hour.

Jack said, "Did you found something?"

"Found nothing, except this ancient, torn pages from a diary!"

Emilia walked closer to him and handed it that he deferred quickly. "I thought it would scatter throughout the floor! Good thing that it was kept in a sealed envelope."

Jack said.

He took a deep breath while getting everything inside. Emilia gave him an abrupt smirk as she continues to search for an interesting book.

Inside of it, there were five torn pages. Emilia was right, that the pages came from a diary. He narrowed his eyes when he realized that it was the art of his grandmother's diary.

Out of panic, he said. "It's Grandma's diary! How come that she kept only five pages of it?!" Jack stooped closer to the woman who wasn't even looking at him.

He said, "Emilia?"

"Hmmm?"

"Emilia!"

"Hmmm?"

Jack furiously grabbed her arms while holding the envelope. "Damn! You are not even listening to me, but you have the guts to come with me!"

"Shut up, Jack! I'm looking for a romantic story of a vampire and a mortal!"

"For heaven's sake, can you put it aside and just help me out with these!" He hastily raised the torn pages which made Emilia to picked randomly from the shelf.

She didn't have the chance to read the title of the book as she has a mission to be accomplished.

She said, "Put everything here," Jack obeyed and lay the pages on the table. Some of the words had faded as the times passed by. "Look! There are numbers written on the back of the pages!"

Jack was surprised at what she had seen. "You are right! Grandmother has put the numbers for us to know what happened first!"

Without further explanation, they have organized the pages according to its number.

The numbers are written are 8, 18, 28, 38 and 88.

Jack gulped as he moved his head closer to the first page.

"Day 8– The moon was bright as much as the sun. The world of vampires was rejoicing while the world of mortals was in vain. Mortals are dying. I felt it. I have foreseen it! Mortal's land was sinking as I've heard voices out of nowhere. They were asking for help, for salvation but, I am powerless to help all of them.

Until there was the voice of a woman caught my interest. She wasn't crying nor asking for help. She was praying for her land's redemption without a doubt.

I do not understand why does I've heard the mortal's voices and prayers.

That's why I've written this on Day 8 as it was engraved in the sky that night."

"A woman's prayer?"

Emilia asked him upon reading the first page according to the numbers.

Jack pointed out the next number. He replied, "Read it." Emilia looked upon at him without saying a word.

She gasped and read what had happened next.

"Day 18– I was in my cabin, leaning towards the rocking chair where I used to stay. I was staring at the mini table on my right side until I saw my diary.

It was wide opened as the fact that I did not write anything on it since hearing a mortal's whine.

I didn't mind closing it until I've fallen into a deep sleep. I know, I felt it, I saw it with my naked eyes.

As I remembered the disturbing roads and people who are walking down the street. I knew that I was not in my world.

I knew that it was the world of mortals with various ways of living than us.

There was a little girl who was wearing a red dress, below her knees. She was beautiful and adorable girl especially when she glanced at me with a genuine and sweet smile on her face.

However, the truth which made me laugh was the young girl lost her two front teeth.

She was walking with her mother who seemed depleted and rescinded. I said, " Young woman, what happened to your teeth?"

She voraciously laughed at me and replied like we are at the same age. "Granny, you must ask the fairy tooth mother who took away my teeth!"

The girl abruptly gave me a small thing rolled in a wrapper.

I wanted to know more about her. Until I wake up in my cabin, sweating and holding the same thing that she gave me."

Jack reached for the envelope as he hoped to find the small thing that his grandmother was referring to.

Unfortunately, there's nothing inside except for the dust and dirt. "Do you think it has a connection of what had happened to me, two years ago?"

Jack asked her rapidly.

He couldn't find the exact reason why he wanted to be summoned again by the woman in a red gown.

Since then he met her, his life became quite different and turned upside down.

"We have still three pages left. What if there's nothing here that can help us?!"

"There is, Emilia. There must be evidence written in her diary!"

She has no doubt.

She knew that Jack changed and became cold when he met a mortal during his birthday.

He sneaks out from the Vampire's palace and went to the forest where love to lurk at.

Emilia smiled shortly and asked him, "Why Jack? Why do you want to visit the other dimension?"

She knew the answer to her question, but she wanted it to hear from him.

"It's not the mortal whom I wanted to look for, Emilia. You know that I've been yearning for a mother's love! For a mother's embrace! And the only place where I can see her was on Earth!"

"But, your father will never let you go!"

"We have rules to be followed! You have responsibilities to fulfil! You have people to lead! You are a Vampire King, Jack! You must stay in our world than searching for mortals you haven't seen and met before!"

She punched the table effortlessly. She was angrily glaring at him as her fangs were shown. Her hazel eyes turned red.

"I am warning you, Jack. Stop with your fatuousness if you don't want to lose everything you have!"

Emilia said. "Disobey your heart, Jack."

She stood up and walked away from him, carrying the book she picked from the shelf.
