Sapphire and Manuel: forgetting the past

He opens a portal in front of him and says

Voice of the Invisible God: girl by the name of Sapphire, those portals are not yet suitable for you, this one in front of me will guide you to that which you will desire later.

I knew he was giving me a hint and a comfort that I would see them again later, I told him it was ok and that I would go there, I smiled at Manuel and said goodbye to the god there and said

Me: come on Manuel.

For some reason the portal expands a little more and let us both in.

We entered the portal and it was just starting to get dark, we saw a huge castle and I saw that we were a bit far from the trees and that's where I think this is the end of me since I don't see anything soft to fall so I close my eyes while asking to fall on something soft. When I hear a voice with an English accent ask me

Mystery man: Are you ok?

I answer without opening my eyes: I don't know, I think I'm dead.

He laughs a little and then says in a serious tone: that should not be played with, open your eyes.

When I open my eyes and see how a white man, with Ruby eyes and brown hair with a low beard was carrying me, I feel very sad and before I open my mouth I hear the voice of a woman carrying a fainted Manuel in her arms and she says

Mysterious woman: wouldn't it have been better a portal of earth and not air -while she looks at me confused-.

As I can I apologize to both and explained about the portal, they smile and say that it is the first time someone appears in an air portal, we were invited to the castle, it was something illuminated and big, they told me that there lived more than 50 people, sometimes there were only 30 or 20 because the others would be in other worlds doing homework; Curious I wanted to ask but imagine that everything in time.

Three years passed and I was already 15 years old, Paula and Jack adopted me as their daughter, Paula is of Latin descent and Jack was English, they met years ago and due to an accident and not wanting to die they let themselves be transformed, they had an unbreakable rule they did not transform anyone unless they were on the verge of death and asked for it, they did not like human blood, although they did drink blood.

I met several countries from many eras from my biological mother's country to a futuristic one, everyone had their own room decorated in their own way and they were very respectful of privacy, Jack was very conservative in fact if it were up to him he would live in a wide dress and cover up, Paula was more liberal with jeans, light shirt, sneakers, so little by little I lost my sorrow, since everyone dressed in their own way; There were many from foreign countries, I learned several languages, customs, many modern things and some I tried from an anime called Air Gear where they are skates that you can do some parkour and you don't fall so fast to the ground.

Of course I tried it away from Jack, otherwise the sermon would have been huge, they had created a room where you could hear everything in your language, that is to say, I could speak French and someone who did not speak it would hear me in their language, whether it was Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, etc.

In my 15 years there was a live concert of many fans of musical groups, I enjoyed them to the fullest, anyone who knew me would think I had a happy childhood, but whenever I saw the bracelets I knew I did not, but my adolescence was, as there was already confidence I asked them about the forbidden portals, they told me that each portal was a key but not all opened for anyone but when the door saw that it was time to be opened by that person.

Manuel had been adopted by other vampires and his father Ideki taught him his world and there he trained him in defense, he was an ancient ninja warrior where at a certain age they gave him the family sword and he continued with the father's name, Ideki reminded me a lot of a warrior named Kurogane from the anime Chronicles Tsubasa, it was an excellent anime, although difficult to understand.

Manuel became an excellent swordsman and his mother Camila a beautiful Italian was proud of him. I was happy that I had time without nightmares and curious dreams but I had a feeling that it would not last forever.

One afternoon I woke up with a headache and as I did as a child I couldn't sleep I went to get milk, so I went down to the refrigerator and put it to heat while I opened the drawer with my name on it and took out something to eat, I saw some cookies and grabbed them to eat them quietly, I did not notice the presence of Manuel who was watching what I was doing, although in part I thank him for spying on me because at that moment I had a curious vision, I saw a beautiful key with some clovers at its base and I saw the door shining and opening and when I was about to look out I heard Manuel's voice calling me; I almost burned the milk and activated the fire alarm, Manuel suddenly turned everything off and took me almost loaded to the sofa and laid me down with my head on his shoulder.
