Eustas the vampire is still awake in the middle of the night. His Granny sends him to the forest so he could find his mate. But it made him think about what happened to his grandpa, he wakes up that he's back to his sleep.
Flashback
Eustas wake up feeling nothing and normal. He roamed his sight and saw his Granny sitting in her walking chair while needle and cloth in her hands.
"Granny, what happened to me?" he asked curiously that he couldn't remember exactly what happened except he remembers the human.
She looked at him with a smile on her face, "I'm glad you're awake now...are you hungry? Do you want me to get you food?" Granny answered him with a question.
"No, I'm not hungry. Thanks...but where's grandpa?" he cannot see him around so it made him wonder. He fixed his hair while waiting for her to give the answer he wants.
"Your grandpa is asleep, Eustas. He's tired of waiting for you to wake up. How was your feeling, hmmm?"
Granny stood up and come closer to her grandson that is sitting on the couch. She placed her backhands to his neck to feel if he has a fever.
He stopped his grandma to do it, "I'm fine, Granny. How long did I sleep?" he inquired.
"Probably, 2 hours." She stated while her fingers are under her chin and smile.
He pouted his lips and stood up, "I'll go visit grandpa."
"No," she said and stopped Eustas to move. Eustas's brows raised in question, "No, he's okay. He told me to stop letting vampires in and out in his room." She said and was forced to smile at him.
"Just a minute, Granny. I just wanna check him. I didn't talk to him that much earlier." He insisted and pulled his arms from her.
"Eustas, don't be too stubborn. You'll not like it when he knew that I let someone in."
Eustas's shoulder fell after what his Granny said to him. He stopped and was harshly seated on the soft couch.
"Fine, I will not."
Granny laughed silently and shook her head.
"But he said, you should find your mate or she will find you and everything will be a mess."
Eustas glared at her with a question in his mind, "What? What about my mate? Is she home wrecker?" he belted.
"No, of course not! What are you thinking? I don't know what your grandpa's talking about but hurry up, find her."
Granny holds his shoulder and nodded like go, find her. Eustas sighed say, "Is it really possible to be mated to other kinds of living people?"
"Yes but don't forget about our rule, Eustas." She replied and walk like a snail towards the kitchen. She's also getting slower and slower. It's not true that vampires can live how long they want. Vampires can lose their lives too. It's based on their strength and capability.
Present
"I think she's beautiful." He commented while thinking about the voice he heard the last he was in the forest. The smile on his face became wider and brighten. He touched her chest feeling the warmth of it, "Ah, I can't believe it, her voice is so cute."
And here he is, looking at the stars from the clear skies. Imagining things that he could do for her when they meet.
"Should I hold her hand? Smile at her and give her a kiss in the backhand?" he asked sweetly himself.
He fixed his hair and acted like his mate is in front of him, he did a fake cough and say, "I am Eustas, I am happy to see you like my worlds stops revolving, s**t! What am I talking?!" he ripples his hair and lay in the greeny grass.
"Okay, it's final." He said and back to Indian sit, "I am Eustas, your mate and from now on will be yours until forever." He bowed his head and smile, "I think it's too sweet saying to the person I'll meet for the first time. Arrgghhh..." He stands up and stomped his feet going back to his tent. He zipped it close and get his painting materials. He decided to pain her without even knowing his mate's face.
He put the canvas on its stand and get his black paint and brush. He couldn't stop himself smiling while imagining how she looks like. This is his first time doing portraits but in a dark shadow, with no face. After a minute of painting, he'll be able to dry it off.
"I hope she'll like it, I didn't mean to make it without a descriptive face but I made it for her." He stated like he's talking to someone he is with.
"How long it would take to see you, huh? Don't you know that my heart is in need when you aren't in my side?" he told the painting he is holding right now as if it will answer him, "Will you please show up? My fangs need you." He sighed and pouted his lips. It's like imagining a woman who is destined for you that you don't have an idea about that person.
Eustas held his chest when it pumped loud, "I think we're going to see each other sooner, my human." He whispered and placed the canvas beside him. He slowly closed his eyes and after seconds his breathing goes deeply and fell asleep.
While Eustas is already asleep, on the other side of the Lovely Breathe forest, Helliana the wolf is playing with a flower in her right hand. He sometimes smelled it and rolled it.
"Why can't I fall asleep?" she asked herself.
"If you can't sleep it means someone is thinking of you." She can still remember what Gela said to her.
"Human believe in that thing and some expert did a study about that. What was that? A Psy----Psyc--Ah! Psychologist!" she hardly say in while the index finger is pointing at the sky, "I should tell that to Alpha that we should start to make a group of a psychologist." she said as if it's easy as that. She made a huge smile and winked.
"Oh my goodness! So, it means someone is thinking of me?!" she blurted out, her both palms were placed on the sides of her cheeks. Her cheeks burning the thought that someone is thinking of her.
"Oh my gosh! I think my mate is thinking of me!" she yelled.
Eustas opened his eyes when she heard that someone is shouting, a woman's voice. He seated and waited to hear it again but minutes have passed he didn't hear what he wanted to hear.
"A dream, nothing new."
He gets back to sleep and covers his face with a blanket.
At the end of the night, they sleep happily thinking of each other. Eustas beside his painting and Helliana beside the flowers she picked.
In the morning, when the sun rose in the south. Its rays showered the Lovely Breathe Forest at its daily food, from the shining sun. Eustas wake up first and stretched her joints and muscles. He ate the food that his Granny packed for him. He planned to go to the falls that he failed to go to the last time he was in the forest.
He tasted the bread spread by bloody jam. It contains cherries and strawberries. It's made by his Granny.
After he ate, he goes out and fixed his things. Undo the tent and placed it in its holder. He'll go to the falls. Crying falls. Where the cry starts.
