MY SOULMATE IS A VAMPIRE

15

I was a little surprised when a sharp object tore into the skin of my neck, feeling very hot and stinging. But Jasper was instantly blown away when I heard Elle scream from the previous room. Zaydan stood up and tried to restrain Jasper from approaching me again.

This bite wound on the left side of my neck made me have to cover it up so that my blood would not be smelled by anyone. Why did Jasper do that all of a sudden? What was wrong with him? My body felt colder than usual; something was overreacting to me after Jasper bit me.

Ethan walked over to his youngest son and tugged on his collar. "What are you doing, Jasper? You're trying to turn her into one of us without telling her first?" annoyed Ethan.

"I don't want her to fall victim to Mark again! Dad, Niel told you that she has great potential, right? And something has to give for that potential. That means her life."

Jasper was knocked quite far into the kitchen after Ethan punched him very hard. Meanwhile, Elle and Cassandra were trying to treat my pain with a liquid that I didn't understand. Unfortunately, the liquid made my wound feel even more painful. I stared at my reflection in the large mirror that was cr*cked by Jasper.

I'm going to be like them. I thought.

"No, honey, we'll try to give you your life back," Cassandra said.

I could hear Ethan yelling at Jasper, but I couldn't hear him clearly. Only Elle and Cassandra's voices were slowly fading away. Before the darkness picked me up, I could hear Ethan say.

"You're going to take her life! You took your own girl's life!"

Oh, God. Is no one on my side anymore in the end? I thought.

"Jasper almost killed you," Mr. George whispered.

I just laughed at his whisper as he scanned my membership card at the campus library. Ethan must have told him that seeing Jasper not come in for two days didn't surprise me anymore. Maybe he regretted his actions or not.

"I heard Jasper try to kill himself by jumping off a cliff near his house," he whispered again.

I laughed again. "What kind of stupid thing is that? I thought vampires couldn't die," I said as I organized the books I was going to borrow from the library into my bag.

"Who said that? We can die too," Mr. George said.

"Oh really? I thought you were immortal," I said.

"That's true, but we can also die if our soulmates choose to kill us," Mr. George explained.

Suddenly, I was a little surprised by his words. Is there really a couple that wants to kill each other? I thought every couple would find their own path to happiness. "Why is that?" I asked.

"Because that's what I witnessed back in the day," Mr. George said.

"Is the partner a human too?" I asked. Seeing Mr. George's nod again forced me to sigh a little harshly.

"The woman never knew that the man she liked was a vampire. Meanwhile, the man never told his woman that he was her lover. Until one day, there was a violent argument between them, resulting in the woman pulling out her kitchen knife and plunging it right into the man's chest," Mr. George explained.

However, I was reminded of how Jasper's canines tried to tear the skin off my neck. He left a scratch and an unfinished hole because he didn't manage to bite down properly. If so, did he want me to become immortal like him?

"Jasper's just frantic," Mr. George said.

I looked up at his shady old face as he laughed briefly. He knew what was going on; that's why he was trying to tell the story before. If you listen to what he said, it's true that Jasper was upset. However, was what he did yesterday the right thing? Honestly, I was disappointed with him.

Although I had heard that he regretted it and intended to kill himself, I'm still disappointed. How unimportant am I? What's wrong with apologizing and trying to explain what she did yesterday? Why would she try to kill herself?

When Mr. George returned the books I was going to borrow with my membership card. I saw one book that wasn't there before in the pile of books I wanted to read. "You seem to have the wrong book," I said.

"This book is not from the library here. Read it; you'll like it," she said as she continued to work on some data on the computer.

I just shook my shoulders and walked out with the used-bound book in my hand. As for the other books, they were in my tote bag. I was so curious about the content of the story in the book. When I got home, I immediately opened the front page.

Featuring some dust and cobwebs. I could see the title of the book. "One destiny, different feelings," I muttered as I read the title of the book.

"What the hell is the title of this book? It's so old-fashioned, but Mr. George didn't say it would be a romance book," I muttered as I opened the next page, which immediately contained a number of words that I usually read in other books.

At first, I didn't catch anything while reading this book. It seemed simple with the writing and the content of the story, but towards the end of the book. I felt something strange about this book. Why did the plot suddenly change so quickly? Why does it seem to jump from the previous page? Even until the end of the book, there was nothing I could digest.

This book felt like any other romance novel I've read, but with a difference. I felt like I'd heard this story before, like I was the one in the novel. At the end of the book, I noticed a slight c***k in the cover. Out of curiosity, I tried to find out why there was a gap.

When I managed to open the gap, I found another necklace along with a letter and some old photos that looked dated. I was more surprised to see a beautiful woman laughing in an old-fashioned dress, with Jasper embracing her intimately. On the other hand, I also saw a woman-no. That's me.

The woman in the picture. They are all my reincarnation? Damn, now I believe that reincarnation really happens. However, my gaze fell on a woman with a crescent moon necklace that Jasper had always guarded. When I turned the photo over, there was some writing using characters that I almost didn't understand.

Sorry, Jaspie. I'm sorry that I had to sacrifice myself to defend you. Maybe you believe that I was about to commit suicide. Just like Niel said. Something had to be sacrificed to save Elle's life and yours,

Her elegant writing made me shed tears in the blink of an eye. I've been eternally bound to Jasper. All these photos clearly depict how they were forced to sacrifice for Jasper. And the letter that was there, it was a letter written by Jasper himself.

A letter that contained all his complaints and deep longing for his beloved. I understood why he wanted to turn me into a Vampire so quickly. "Because, it's the only way," I muttered.
