It’s been a week since Klaus and I left Abion. I was unconscious, so all my knowledge about that day is the rit of my new friend. He told about what happened in every detail, without concealing a single detail, and also shocking with one revelation after another.
My seventeenth year of life was full of discoveries about mythical creatures. I knew about magicians and witches, but I didn’t know that I could be a witch myself. It was like a bolt from the blue and still little believed in it. I was impressed to learn that my Jen was a witch who managed to hide in the palace so successfully. I wonder how she is there alone now?
But the big revelation and shock for was the essence of King Abion. I’m still going over in my head that day when I was trying to find similarities between Raphael and the image from the book about magical creatures. His bloody eyes never let rest, it was so strange to have such an eye color. Later, from Adeline, Jen’s sister, who sheltered us, I learned that all vampires can change the color of their eyes. That’s how they manage to hide their identity. But what made Raphael be so open in his appearance? Why is his eye color always the sa?
What a fool I was to be alone with him, because he could have taken my life infinitely many tis already. And given the power of vampire hypnosis, I doubt he didn’t try to drink my blood.
A mory flashed through my mind of him giving a healing potion that turned out to be nothing but his own blood. But it’s worth noting that it really saved my life. He helped out more than once, didn’t let die. Therefore, the discovery that Raphael was a vampire passed with easy acceptance, without excessive anxiety and fear over his nature. I just couldn’t understand why he never confessed to . Although maybe it should be reformulated differently - why was I so blind not to notice?
It’s only been seven days, and just like that ill-fated day, I was emotionally devastated. Deep down, I forgave him for his silence, but I didn’t forgive the deception. His ga with took too long, involving in his networks, forcing to fall in love, while for him it was all frivolous.
Thanks to Adeline, I try to distract myself day by day so as not to completely close myself in. I’m learning to move on.
By the way, Adeline turned out to be an amazing girl. I won’t lie if I say that he and Jenine are like twins emotionally. Adeline is younger than her sister and this so clearly affects her character. She is flighty, emotional, hyperactive and very funny. And also kind and sensitive. I thought of Jen with sadness. I missed having her around. I hope she’s all right.
- Fuuh, I’m soooo exhausted. - the red-haired girl muttered, jumping on the soft sofa in the living room.
The house in which the three of us now lived was very small. In addition to the living room, kitchen and bathroom there were only two rooms. So now I lived with Adeline in one room, and Klaus took the other, although he resisted to the last and declared that he could sleep on the sofa in the living room.
- And you don’t look like it, you’re still as energetic. - I said with a smile. – You live alone, work and support yourself. I’ve never lived like this, so I find it amazing.
- Oh, co on. - she waved it off, laughing playfully. - The work is not dusty, although you have to stand on your feet all day. But it actually brings a great inco. Thanks to Grandma for the transferred skills in potions. Otherwise I wouldn’t be so popular at the fair.
- Yes, her rit cannot be understated. - I nodded. - By the way, you said you’d introduce to the coven, but I’m a little worried. You know, probably a lot of people are looking for now, won’t it be dangerous?
- Oh, don’t worry, I’ve already thought of everything. We will create a new identity for you. But you have to do sothing with your hair, it stands out very much. But I have sothing for this case, too. - She jumped up and grabbed her bag, pulling out a green bottle. - I brewed this potion today, while there were no custors in the shop. All you have to do is wash their hair.
- But won’t my hair turn green? - I asked, embarrassed, which made her laugh.
- Hey! What’s wrong with green? Very original. - Adeline teased. – Don’t worry, the hair will beco just red, like mine. After all, I plan to introduce you as my second cousin, sooo far away. Well, in general, so that no one has ever seen or heard of you until this day.
- Well, that’s sothing. Still, green is probably too eye-catching. - I laughed.
Adeline told that it was better to keep my unfolding abilities a secret from the coven. More precisely, what I can do with my bare hands. She was very caring and helped create my own wand, which I built myself out of wood and burned on fire created from a spell.
According to her, the coven supports every witch, trains and ntors. So it was kind of a school for witches and that was exactly what I needed. After all, I was still in disbelief that I still have a magical beginning. Although I could hardly believe that I was a witch, because all my relatives were hereditary magicians. But in the current situation, the less others know about , the more profitable and safer it is for .
With the help of artfully prepared potions, I was also able to change my eye color from blue to green, as well as slightly change my appearance, making it less refined and more simple, down-to-earth. However, there was a downside – potions had to be drunk every day, otherwise their effect would co to naught.
- You’re still the sa cutie, although now you look more like . I like. - Adeline praised. – By the way, isn’t this handso guy sleeping too long?
It turned out that Klaus was still that dormouse, in any spare mont he slept without hind legs. Therefore, when I rembered his oath of allegiance, I started laughing, because this is the most sleepy guard in the world and in case of danger, most likely he will sleep just as soundly.
I just shrugged my shoulders at Adeline’s question, and she happily ran to wake him up. I imdiately noticed that Klaus had attracted her attention. Although he was too callous to notice her increased attention. Therefore, I could only be on the sidelines and not interfere with things happening the way fate intended, if it had a place to be here.
I wonder how my fate will turn out in the end? Will I ever have a family, a loving husband and children?
- Here you go again. Yes, how much is possible? - Adeline’s loud indignation ca from above.
She went downstairs, carrying a blanket in her hands, which she pulled off the sleeping Klaus. Her nose wrinkled and her face expressed displeasure.
- He kicked out of the room again. - she pursed her lips. – And what if he’s not dressed? What didn’t I see there?
After all, in addition to her good features, there is also so impudence and lack of sha. But in a compartnt with a cute face, she looked insanely funny every ti she sulked and was indignant.
- God, have a conscience already. It’s not right for a girl to break into a man’s room. And don’t say that this is your room a priori – it doesn’t matter in this situation. - Klaus shouted, who seed to have woken up in a bad mood.
- Do you mind if I leave you and go for a walk for a while? - I asked while the two were bickering with each other.
- Wait, I’ll get ready now. - Klaus interjected.
- No, no, I would like to walk alone. I need to clear my head. - I waved it off. - I look different now, so I’ll be fine. Don’t worry.
He curled his lips in displeasure, but nodded. Although it looked like he was just trying to escape from the abundant attention of the young witch. She is really very assertive, it’s amazing how she still hasn’t found a fish on her hook.
The town of Lourdes could rather be called a large village. He was far from civilization and life here was quiet and peaceful. It was located in the kingdom of Easthev. And although there were rulers here, everyone knew that they were only nominally, because the current king was in the tenacious hands of the supre witch. But that was until relatively recent events, because the local ruler died at a ball that was organized by my stepmother. And now the throne remains empty until a new ruler has been elected. But this did not prevent people from continuing to live on without knowing troubles and sorrows. Everything went on as usual.
Not far from the place where we now live, there is a fair where the Adelin potion shop is located. Therefore, after listening to her stories, I decided to take a walk there, at the sa ti I will look around the neighborhood.
Today was a weekday, it was already evening and there weren’t many people, but so shops were still working. One of these was with street food. I wasn’t allowed to go to the markets before, so I’m excited about this idea now. I approached one of their open shops and a mixture of all kinds of slls imdiately hit my nose, which caused my stomach to rumble. It slled divine.
A couple of days ago, I asked Adeline to sell my jewelry to have so cash, but she was categorical and just gave pocket money. It was awkward, but I accepted them, promising to get a job and return everything to a penny.
Therefore, now, having a certain amount of money, I bought 3 skewers with chicken and omuk. I wasn’t going to spend any more, planning to live with restraint until I got a job, but just the sight of a garland of dried persimmons shook my confidence and I spent a little more.
The omuk just lted in my mouth, leaving a pleasant fishy aftertaste and I was happy just to go and enjoy such mundane monts. Now I really felt freedom, I felt a thirst for life. And although the pain has not passed yet, I just took it for granted, as a certain stage of my life that will definitely pass, it just needs to be endured.
After walking a lot, I felt tired in my legs and decided to sit down on a bench in the company of dried persimmons. Yes, this is definitely the best company for tonight. Delicious.
- May I sit next to you? – asked the man who ca from nowhere.
