Grandma

What Arnold noticed was that Melissa looked exactly just like Natalie. Rather, Melissa is Natalie.

Arnold understood quite well, that this wasn't a dream, but a tribulation. It was their past lives. They've known each other before and he was the cause of her death. It was fate that they meet again. since she was also a vampire and a princess in the past life, it wasn't a coincidence that I turned her. Maybe this was what fate had in store for them. It was time for him to make things right. If Natalie gets to remember this, She might not forgive me. He might as well starts to make amends now that he's given a chance.

Arnold woke up from his sleep Abruptly. His eyes rolled around the room and he noticed he was the only one in it.

Arnold slowly got out f bed, it was early morning so the sun began to shine. The yellow rays pierced into the room, through the luxurious silk curtains.

Arnold rubbed his temples gently, he still felt a throbbing headache from last night. He quickly wrapped a robe around his naked body and headed out of the room to check on Natalie. He remembered they slept together last night and it was as a result of the drugs Monica gave him. How did he not suspect that she had an ulterior motive?

That didn't matter to him right now, he would handle Monica later. he was more concerned about seeing Natalie that morning.

He checked almost everywhere in the mansion, where she could be. But it seems Natalie wasn't in the mansion.

"Where is she?." He asks rhetorically, standing on the staircase. Arnold hurried to return to his room to get dressed. so he would set out to find her.

A petite woman sitting at the back of the public transport had her face buried deep into someone's shoulders, she seemed to be sleeping. Natalie didn't get enough sleep after last night with Arnold. She even had to run away for reasons best known to her. Natalie realized how much her life had changed since she met Arnold. She was returning to live with her maternal grandmother even when she knew she was no longer the Natalie the woman once knew. All she wanted was a life away from difficulties. The dreams she's been having, got her scared and she knew life with Arnold was no good and she had to run away.

Thirty minutes later, she heard the bus driver announce the next bus stop by using an alarm. Although Natalie had only come here once with her father, she was still familiar with the place.

She raised her head and gave it a stretch. The man beside her also seemed to be stopping at the same place and they got off together. Natalie didn't realize she was so tired until she noticed she could hardly move her legs. Her thighs hurt so much she couldn't take it and she sat down at the bus stop beside other people who were waiting for the next bus.

The man she was with In the boss earlier noticed her discomfort, he also sat near her. waiting to start a conversation.

Immediately a bus came and the others entered, it was remaining only the both of them.

Natalie peaked at the handsome man sitting beside her and she felt unusual. Soon, she stood up to leave. After walking for a while, when she entered the city streets filled with coagulated houses. Her grandmother lived there. she could feel like she was being tracked and then thought of a plan. Natalie took a turn and sped up to avoid the man. Unexpectedly, the man was already in front of her. out of fear, she flinched backward and fell to the floor. She already knew the man was a vampire, she could sense it and how else could he subdue her speed if he wasn't one?

"Hey, I don't want to hurt you," Maximus said.

"Then why are you following me?." She asked, standing up.

"I'm just curious to know you. Never thought I'll meet another of my kind here." He got closer to her in a blink of an eye and extended his hands to her.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Maximus." He said.

"Well, I don't know what you mean. I'm not your Kind and please stop following me." She warned rudely and walked away.

"Don't be hot-tempered towards me. I'm just curious. Please tell me your name." He grabbed her hands and Natalie paused. Suddenly she picked him up and slammed him to the floor. There was a strike of blue light coming from the energy she used.

Maximus was surprised at her strength and at the fact that she had royal powers.

"Don't come near me. I'm warning you." Natalie said and sped off.

"We'll meet again, soon." He yelled, still on the floor. Who is that woman?. he wondered.

He was concerned about finding the prince, but then this woman got his attention. He needed to start making investigations about her quickly. He caught her scent, he was going to trace her whenever he was ready. For now, he should focus on his mission.

Natalie arrived in front of a house. The house looked old. Almost like no one lived in it or has lived in it for so many years. She proceeds to knock gently on it but didn't get any response. It didn't take long before the door opened by itself. Creepy. She had nothing to fear, as long as she was in the right place.

Natalie entered the almost dark house which had a weird interior. On the wall, there were different stuffed animals and a deer skin hanging on it.

She walked stealthily towards the room.

"Grandma?." She called out and when she entered the room, loads of birds flew out. Making her fall. She was frightened. There were so many. She wondered why the house looked this way. She stood up and arranged her hair and body which looked messy after the fall.

"No! you let my babies out. why did you release them?." She heard a soft feminine voice speak from the door and turned to look at the old woman.

"Grandma?." She was surprised to see that the woman wasn't as old as she had expected. Her grandmother still looked healthy and young. She didn't look sixty at all.

"Who are you? and what are you doing in my house?." She asked. Natalie was silent for a few seconds before she spoke.

"Grandma, don't you remember me? it's Natalie. your grandchild." She explained.
