MY GUARDIAN VAMPIRE

I expected more from him because I trusted him so much.

Mardelia Zara Zeanne

Only the towering and dense trees could be seen along the steps they walked. They walked almost hand in hand and intertwined their hands tightly. Several times they were seen speeding up when they heard suspicious movements, whether it was Rogue or some other creature.

Not a word was spoken from their lips. Last night’s incident on the hill made the two people fall into a feeling that they themselves did not understand. Even trying to understand them in really complicated situations.

Jeffry’s steps stopped, looking at someone behind him. Zara’s breath that sounded tired caused Jeffery to stop walking.

“Would you like to rest for a while Zara?” Jeffry bargained, still looking closely at Zara’s tired face.

Zara shook her head, “No Jeffry. I just need to drink like him.” replied Zara clumsily. Zara does feel exhausted. It felt like he had walked almost tens of kilos. But Zara’s tiredness means nothing because Jeffry is with her. Jeffry’s tight grip gave Zara a sense of its own. If he had to walk again, he seemed able to.

Jeffery smiled. What an unexpected response in Zara’s eyes. Not the usual smile Zara had seen before. That smile is different. “You think you can lie to me Zara…” said Jeffry in his heart, staring intently at the two brownish-black irises. Of course Zara was wrong to lie to Jeffry. That handsome vampire has the ability to read people’s minds.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“What are you doing Jeffery?”

asked Zara, confused suddenly Jeffry squatted in front of her.

“Get up! I’ll carry you!” Zara’s eyes widened in disbelief at Jeffry’s treatment.

“This offer is only valid once. If you refuse it’s a stupid choice. We still have a long way to go!”

Zara is silent. Jeffry’s offer was actually a good one. He won’t be tired after this. But how can Zara do this? Carried by Jeffry. You know, not a human would carry him, but a vampire.

“If you refuse. Maybe a few meters walk I’ll pass out. Maybe that’s okay. If Jeffry is tired he can’t be as tired as I am. Jeffry’s strength is certainly greater as a vampire.”

Zara spun around in her head. Finally he stepped closer onto Jeffry’s back and wrapped his arms around the handsome vampire’s neck.

“How long have you been thinking?”

said Jeffry as he stood up to balance his body carrying Zara who looked a little laughing.

“Am I heavy? Of course not. How can this little me weigh you down? I can lift a big cupboard with such a small body!”

Not completely. Actually Zara was helped by Taeyong at that time. There’s no way Zara is that strong. Zara is lying.

Zara seems to be smiling with satisfaction behind Jeffry’s back. Jeffry was silent, not wanting to make a sound. It’s not that he doesn’t agree with Zara’s opinion but his silence because he heard Zara’s story that failed to lie to him. At that close distance… Zara’s mind was easily read by Jeffry.

Even Zara’s heartbeat sounded so clear in his ears. The irregular heartbeat was the same as his current heart condition. Drive fast.

Where Jeffry had to go was the big question he had to solve. Right. No more going to Gervinder’s palace. No longer handing Zara over to prince Gervinder. Jeffry had to take Zara away from all that. Where will their steps end? Where should Jeffry take Zara to? Currently Jeffry has not found the answer.

He won’t give up Zara. There’s no reason for that. That feeling grew naturally in Jeffry’s heart. The feeling of always protecting Zara also Zara’s smile which is addictive for her now. He didn’t want to lose those two things. But his loyalty to the Gervinder vampire clan also dominates there. Why did he betray God and the Gervinder clan he grew up with with so many memories? Did he have to commit this betrayal? Just wait. Let time will answer.

They have been walking for a long time, there is not the slightest tired look on Jeffry’s face. He was focused on his every move. As for Zara, she is pensive now. Thinking about how his sister is doing now. He was trapped here, with a vampire who had now changed in his eyes. Various guesses filled his head. What made Jeffry change to him? Where is Jeffry going to take him now?

Her life was completely swayed by uncertainty. Either believe in Jeffry or he must think for himself to return to his brother. Do you think Zara wants to be handed over to the crown prince that Jeffry said? Of course not. Zara is not that stupid. The person Jeffry was referring to was definitely a bad person. Surely the crown prince wanted something from Zara. But what? That question has not yet been answered. Several times he asked Jeffry and Jeffry never answered, choosing to remain silent.

“Where are we going again Jeffry?”

asked Zara with a confused feeling of understanding what happened to her. Because time by time he starts to realize that he is now in threat and danger.

“Don’t know yet. I’m just following this forest path.”

“Don’t tell me we’re lost!” Jeffrey shook his head slowly.

“I can’t possibly get lost even if it’s in a forest I’ve never been through.”

“But why don’t you know? Aren’t we going to your palace?”

Pause for a moment, What should Jeffry say now. He himself was looking for the answer. Until slowly I saw a little sunlight shining into the dark forest.

“You’re not tired are you?” Zara, who looks dreamy… thinking about the questions she asked did not get a satisfactory answer, made Zara flinch a little and then shook her head.

Zara got down from Jeffry’s arms with a blank mind and blank stare.

Before Jeffry managed to take a step first, Zara’s hand grabbed Jeffry’s hand quickly with the same blank stare.

“Why? Want me to carry you again?” Zara is silent. After a moment, he lifted his head to look deep into Jeffry’s eyes.

“Where are we going Jeffry? Aren’t we going to your palace?”

Silence…

Again, Jeffry kept silent, not wanting to make a sound. He walks ignoring Zara’s question.

But Zara stopped again, tightening her grip on Jeffry’s hand.

“Explain to me Jeffry? What do they want from me?!”

Zara’s question again, and again made Jeffry not move. What answer should he give? Says that Zara’s blood is what they want. Then Zara will try to run away from him. Jeffry would never let that happen.

“If I asked you to take me to my brother, what would you do?!”

“No! Not Zara!!” Just hearing it, Jeffry feels lost a part of his life.

“I’m not stupid Jeffry! You just want to give me up and will leave me!! You won’t protect me!”

Zara screamed loudly with emotions that wanted to burst. Resist all the turmoil of anger and crying. Realizing that Jeffry is not what Zara thought all along.

Those words were like lightning that struck Jeffry’s feelings and thoughts. Until a few moments later he finally made a decision that was impossible for a Guardian like Na Jeffry.

“Then go and meet your own brother!”

Those words made Zara’s defenses collapse in an instant. That’s right. Jeffery changed. Not the vampire he’d known the first time he met.

“Of course!! I will go alone to meet my brother!!”

Zara steps in the opposite direction of their initial journey. Before a sentence came out of Zara’s mouth with deep regret that made Jeffry’s heart collapse formless.

“I’m sorry I trusted you Jeffry. For the first time in my life I felt safe with a man other than my brother. I hope we never see each other again.”

“Thanks Jeffery.”
