TIME TRAVEL:First Journey:Vampire Hunter - Chapter 143

Greyson walked along the hallway until he reached the end of the hallway. There is a big and large window which is made from glasses at the end of the hallway.

Greyson saw a familiar figure was sitting next to the window and she was looking outside the window.

Immediately, Greyson recognised her as Rivera.

Greyson stopped a few steps from Rivera and he watched the girl’s feature. Even for a thousand times he looked at that beautiful and soft face, Greyson would always fall in love.

Even though there is no smile planted on her face, Greyson still could see a warm and soft expression on her face.

The light from the outside touches her white cream skin, giving another mesmerising view. It was like an angel sitting next to that window while enjoying the view outside.

Greyson let out a delightful smile. He feels calm everytime he looks at that face. The face that could bring light even though the world is now full of darkness, the face that could bring warmth even though Greyson never felt the warmth himself again. The face that was more beautiful than other things he had ever seen before.

Greyson was eager… Eager to touch that face. Put her inside her arm and embraced her. Giving protection she needs everytime she is in danger.

Rivera turned to Greyson after she realized that she was being watched by someone. She was a bit surprised to see Greyson was standing there like a statue and staring at her, like he was drooling over her.

Is she the kind of food that makes him drool like that?

Greyson then realized from his own world the reality when Rivera turned her head over him. He coughed a bit to wipe out the embarrassing feeling and he walked toward her. Greyson stops right next to Rivera and he looks at Rivera.

“You look lonely or did you really want to be lonely?” asked Greyson.

Rivera smiled at his question. Rivera turned her head to the outside window again. “I want to be alone for now. I want to know how far I can think for this time alone here.”

Greyson takes a seat at the opposite side of Rivera. He looked at her face for a quick glance before he shifted his gaze to the outside window.

“What are you thinking of?” asked Greyson.

There was silence filled up the hallway. Greyson waited for Rivera to answer his question.

“I was thinking.. That for the first time, all of this doesn’t make any sense for me. The vampires— the gun— the Organisation— the Queen— this war— I was always living a normal life and then things changed and this happened. I don’t know… Maybe tomorrow or in the future, I will die.”

“You’re not gonna die. I know.”

Rivera looked at Greyson and she formed a weak smile. “I have been the most weak person among my friends since I joined this Organisation, Greyson. My friends can adapt quickly to any situation but not for me. I’m a slow-witted person, everything I’ve done only makes everyone slow down too.”

“If you are a slow-witted person, why did you register for this Ranger Team then? You could stay at the Royal Organisation and do the less dangerous mission,” Greyson said.

“You don’t understand, Greyson…” Rivera sighed, while her mind start to wonders… I registered for this mission because it was the only way for me and my friends to go home. I don’t want to be left behind alone…

Greyson’s eyebrows furrowed. “What I did not understand?”

Rivera looks at Greyson again and she gives him a faint yet reassuring smile to Greyson.

Greyson feels somehow, intrigued by the smile. It was weak but at the same time wanted to tell him so that he shouldn’t be worried. But Greyson wants to know why. He wants this girl to tell him what is wrong. Greyson wants to make this girl safe in his embrace.

“When the time is come, Greyson. You will understand.”

Greyson’s eyebrows furrowed as he barely understood what Rivera wanted to say.

“You still don’t want to tell me? Did you not trust in me?” asked Greyson.

Rivera’s eyes fixed on Greyson’s mesmerising figure. A tiny smile formed on her pretty pink lips. “I didn’t say I’m not trusting you, Greyson. But the truth is too much for you, I’m afraid you couldn’t handle it.”

Will you still trust me if I tell you, Greyson? Why do I have the feelings of fears that one day you might leave me? Haish, why would I care about your opinion about myself anyway?

Rivera shifted her gaze to the outside window again. Greyson wanted to ask more but she said again, “Don’t ask me anything. I won’t answer it.”

Greyson was dumbfounded for a second. He couldn’t ask more even though he really wanted to know more of what is the meaning behind Rivera’s words. But Greyson knows better to not ask more if Rivera doesn’t want to tell him. Perhaps, one day, she would tell him everything.

After that, there are no more words coming out from each side. Both of them choose to stay silent and watch outside the window, where they can see their other friends playing in the back garden.
