A Tense Night
BLar!
Blaaaar!
The sound of lightning sounded, echoing all the way to her room, making Kiara, who was three hours ago asleep finally woke up. She adjusted her heavy breathing; she made herself in a sitting position on her white-covered mattress. With her hand on her right cheek, Kiara saw a large window on her right side. Her eyes were cold, and occasionally the outside was brightly lit because of the lightning that struck.
A blizzard occurred, but it was strange that lightning also decorated the night sky here. Isn't lightning synonymous with rain? Kiara ignored it, this world is different from her world and she doesn't really understand many things that come from her world.
The air was getting colder and colder, Kiara's esophagus seemed to be drying up. The water beside him is no longer there. And he was sure the servants must have been asleep soundly in their beds.
"So thirsty..."
Kiara got off her mattress. She took a scarf for him to place between her shoulders. There was no other choice but for her to take her own drinking water. Kiara came out of her room and the normally bright hallway was only this time she saw with minimal light. Kiara kept walking. She relied on her intuition to be able to get to the kitchen.
She had never been to the kitchen before, but finding the kitchen didn't feel difficult.
Kiara made it to the kitchen. She looked for a glass after several times mis-opening the cupboard which turned out to be another utensil. After successfully making her esophagus not dry anymore, Kiara put the glass on the table. She came out of the kitchen and wanted to quickly get inside her room.
Kiara kept walking.
"The taste of the castle at night is more sinister."
Kiara muttered to herself because of the minimal light of the lamp, and it didn't look as crowded as when she woke up during the day.
On the huge second floor, Kiara was silent. She looked at her right and left repeatedly.
"I'm still stupid in finding a way..."
Kiara sighed harshly from her mouth because she wasn't sure which path she should take. She recalled the way he had gone just now and felt that everything was useless. She doesn't remember anything!
"Alright... We just walk. There's no way this is going to get me to lose. If I get lost, I will have to return to this road later."
Kiara finally moved to the right. She stepped her feet carefully because she didn't want to make a fuss that could wake up the entire house. She has been treated so well here. Of course she has to be as polite as possible.
Kiara walked between five minutes and complained that she was so sleepy and tired.
"How big is this castle, really?"
Kiara had only ever circled the castle slightly, her forehead frowning. Maybe if he knew this mansion was five twenty acres, she would scream. That's not the outside of it.
Kiara felt like giving up, but she saw a brighter light at the end of this passage. Kiara quickened her footsteps, hoping that at least she met someone who could take her back to the room.
The light came from the room whose door was open. When Kiara was only one meter away, there was a shocking sound.
PRAAAANG!
"[what is that?]
Kiara came closer and held the door, making the door open wider and that's when she saw Noah, who turned her back to her. Noah bent down slightly, his left hand squeezing his head.
"uu... nnn... Uh!"
The moaning voice interrupted Kiara. Now that she couldn't pretend, she even rallied forward.
"Noah, are you okay?"
She was afraid that this man in front of her was seriously ill and she would have to help him if that happened.
"Noah.." Kiara got closer, but Noah just whimpered without looking at her.
"Noah, which part of the pain are you sick in?" Kiara touched Noah's back, that's when Noah only reacted with Kiara, he turned around and made Kiara so surprised. Noah's red eyes looked more flaming than usual, and in his mouth... Two sharp fangs appeared that made Kiara take a step back.
[What happened to him?]
Noah came forward, and it surprised Kiara, especially when Noah held Kiara's shoulders. The rough moaning voice sounded more clear and Intention's mouth drew closer to her.
"No-Noah! What are you doing!?"
Kiara screamed but the two fangs finally plunged into Kiara's soft neck, Noah's eyes grew more and more alive and he enjoyed Kiara's blood unconsciously. The longer he sucked Kiara's blood, his consciousness finally returned. He realized that he was sucking Kiara's blood, Noah immediately moved away and looked at Kiara, whose eyes were both filled with tears.
Those eyes looked so weak, with cheeks that looked pale.
"Ki-kiara..."
"Noah..."
Bugh!
Kiara fell into Noah's arms, so shocked, his eyes so round with such obvious horror. A drop of blood dripped from the corner of Noah's lips.
**
The shifting air of the twigs with the walls of the castle and the incoming sunlight had made him wake up.
Kiara opened her eyes with enough difficulty. She felt a dizziness in her head. The memory from last night remembered and Kiara immediately looked at the surroundings.
"My room? How could it be...?" it confused Kiara herself, then she quickly fingered her neck. Not yet satisfied, Kiara got out of her mattress and then looked in the direction of the mirror. Kiara uncovered her hair so that her neck could be clearly visible.
".. There are no injuries... Ho-how could that be?"
Kiara swallowed her own saliva. What happened last night felt so real. When Noah's lips touched her neck and the fangs pierced her skin. Kiara got goosebumps because of such a thing.
"... Am I dreaming?"
Kiara looked around her again. She was trying to digest everything. If there is no evidence at all, he feels that the most reasonable thing now is... It's a dream.
This must be a dream...
Kiara let out a deep breath from her mouth as she lowered her head, which was when Selma came up with a bright snide.
"Morning, Lady Kiara! You slept so well once." She looked at Kiara with a fiery spirit.
"Now let's prepare for breakfast with duke!"
Selma immediately moved closer to Kiara, who was still confused by her sanity.
