TVS 3: Encounter

F I R E

Here I am, in the middle of the woods, waiting for any blood sucking creatures.

I'm bored that's why I wanted to have some sort of adventure. You may find it weird, yeah the hell I care.

I have my bow and arrows with me, a knife in my right leg, and a gun to the left hidden so if there's any creature that will going to attack me, I guess there's no problem with that.

I feel the breeze of the air coming from the west, making my hair reaching my waist go with its flow. It's relaxing, plus the light coming from the half moon lightens up my mood.

I'm wearing my all black outfit that I usually use when hunting vampires.

I stood up suddenly with a strange presence.

I think there is someone else.

Or maybe a vampire.

I picked up the attached bow from behind. I immediately put its bullet in there, it's better to be prepared than for you to die.

I walked, straight and close to the summit.

And there, I saw a man with a black hair, toned muscles and arms who was noticeable even though it was a bit dark around. Her hair as black as night is just allowed to follow the direction of the wind. He has a pale white skin that does not even show any trace of root despite the whiteness.

He turned around and sat at the top of the mountain, wearing all black same as mine.

I aimed the bow at him, aiming him as my target. I’m pretty sure the vampire is in front of me right now.

Join the ashes of those with you I killed two days ago.

I pulled the string and release the arrow. But unfortunately, he immediately caught the spear with only his left hand which surprised me.

How could he ?!

This man is ... something.

I was surprised when he confronted me. His eyes widened slightly and he looked straight into my eyes. He sniffed a bit as if smelling something.

Do I stink?

"Hey, is this yours?" He asked frantically as if I had done nothing while looking at the arrow that would have been stuck behind him.

“Yeah, practicing archery you know, Ha Ha.” I faked a laugh.

"With me huh?"

“Sort of?” I replied.

He chuckled.

I don't know if he's human or what, but he has the same eyes as mine, we have the same skin color, though I'm also a bit white. So most probably he is human. If he was a vampire, he would have longed for the arrow he was holding, it's coated with garlic before I go here.

“Can I..get that back?” I asked.

"Oh this? Sure but not unless you have a small chitchat with me." A sudden smile let out his lips displaying his perfect teeth.

"That's all?"

"Yeah."

“Okay.” I approached him. I need to be with him to get my arrow. He's not just anyone, I know that, I might get hurt and what else will happen to me. I punched my gun, knife and bow.

And guess what?

They're gone!

Can anyone tell me how the hell did those run away from my body?

"Ah this?" Asked the man now holding all my weapons.

"How did yo--"

"It slipped away from you. I just picked it up."

"But you didn't leave your post, did you?"

"I did. You didn't just notice it." He said while biting his lower lip and I bet that it's to suppress his laughter. He's hot in doing so.

"What now ?!" I angrily mouthed, earlier because he was looking at me smiling like a dog.

He tapped the space beside him, inviting me to sit. I guess I have no other choice. Rolling my eyes in frustration, I seated.

"So, what are we going to talk about? When it's over and I can go home."

"I want to talk about your life." He said coldly that made my mouth open widely.

X A V I E R R E

I'm here in the summit of the mountain, sitting beside her. Yeah, and I invited her after what she did to me, throwing arrow to me, to have a chitchat with me that she actually accepted to be able to get her weapons back to her.

"So, what are we going to talk about? When it's over and I can go home."

Short tempered eh?

"I want to talk about your life." I said and that made her cute little reddish lips to be apart.

"A-Are you o-out of your mind ?? Like seriously, you want to know more about me? What the hell ?!"

"Ahh yeah, co'z I'm bored."

I'm damn serious in getting to know her. Curiousity is killing me. And her locket, I need to confirm it first maybe I'm just mistaken. Does she own it? If it wasn't for him, how did it end up in his neck? Oh questions! There are so many questions!

"Oh no Mister, you're totally out of your mind. I'm really really sorry I have to go, it's already 2:47 am and yet I'm here in the summit of this mountain talking to you. Now give my weapons back to me so that I can go. " She said grinning, probably suppressing her anger.

"Is that so? I guess I can't. For now, you can have your arrow with you, tomorrow you can come for us to continue our chitchat, I'll take care of this for a while. Got it?" I said waving her weapons in my right hand while the left toss the arrow to her.

"Arrrggghh, fine! Tomorrow, 10 pm, here."

"Noted." I said and winked at her. I'm looking forward for tomorrow.

FIRE

Did he just winked at me ?! Like what the fuck is he up to ?! Can any living body slap his face right now co'z I'm pissed.

Really really pissed.

When he turns around properly ..

"Wait." I hold back.

He hummed as a response and turn his body facing me. "Can I slap you? In that pale cheeks of yours?" I asked sarcastically.

This man is out of his mind !!

"Maybe tomorrow you can, but not now." He said making my eyes roll.

"And please, please find where you laid your brain, insanity's what's inside of your head Mister."

Right. Don't let me feel sorry for his madness. He's insane for pete's sake! Who the hell will take my gun, bow and knife and throw the arrow back at the same time?

"I swear, I'll take care of it all." He replied.

The madman took a bite, as if I didn't have any other hidden weapons in my house, idiot. It's up to him to wait and whiten his eyes!

I held the locket around my neck. Hayss I thought he got it too, I would be even happier with him if he could remove this thing from my neck.

~ FLASHBACK ~

A/N: Back when fire is 8 years old.But still it's the 23 year old Fire's POV, got it? Thanks;*

F I R E

"Son, Fire .." My mom called me.

"Why ma?" I watched him as he put food in a container and wrapped it in a bag.

"Take it to your Dad, he might be hungry. Eat with him there too, I'll add more food for you."

"All right, ma."

"Will you be careful son?" He said as he approached me and smeared me with some garlic smell.

"I'm leaving, ma." I said smiling.

I wore the black cape that smelled of garlic as well.

I had a few more kilometers to walk so I started to coast the forest.

I had been walking for almost two hours when I reached the creek that came from a cave. I would also pass that cave which was very dark.

As I walked along this creek, I thought to rest first.

I sat by the creek, glowing like a diamond whenever the sun hit the clear water.

I scooped up water with my hand and drank it. My thirst was quenched when I felt its cold caress on my throat.

I also washed my face to reduce the heat I was feeling.

Carrying the food I decided to continue walking.

I finally reached the cave, the last one I would pass before I reached my dad's place.

I was in the middle of walking in the middle of the cave when suddenly ...

"AAAAHHHHHHH! MAMAAAAAAAA!"

MAY SUMUGOD SAKING PANIKIIIII !!!

AY HINDI! GRUPO NG PANIKIIIIIIII !!!

They surrounded me, as if they were all around me. It happened too fast. I just sat there feeling so scared.

I could feel them slowly flying away from me.

Hayss thanks, I thought I was at the end.

I was held to my chest, feeling my heart beating fast.

Wait? What is it?

I looked at what I was holding like a necklace. Is it called a lock?

Where did it come from? To bats?

I would have removed the necklace just ...

CAN NOT BE REMOVED!

Why not delete? Whatever I do I still don’t want to!
