Love From Darkness

Lee's Confession

Alice gets angry seeing the many planes above.

"We'd better get out of here," Alice said to Catherine.

"But what about Daniel?" she asked.

"He's not Prince Daniel. Just a look, so ignore it. If we leave anyway. They won't attack again," said Alice.

Catherine still disagrees. She was worried that Daniel would be injured in government fire or that Alex would kill him if Alice didn't save him.

"Trust me. Alex won't kill him. Come on!" Alice pulled Catherine. While her other hand made a time vortex. When Alice and Catherine got into the vortex. The undead and the black clouds disappeared instantly. The atmosphere is calm for a moment. The fighter planes held back fire and looked at the situation. Looks like things are under control.

The atmosphere suddenly quiet made Daniel open the door. So did everyone else there. Virgo who sees Alex and Ben on the other side. Immediately pulled Daniel and Tommy back into the house.

"We'd better get out of here. If Alex and Ben get Daniel. I'm sure they'll catch him," Virgo said.

"Where can we go? Green Forest Village is surrounded by rivers and seas." Tommy was confused.

Virgo raised her hand. A time portal or vortex is formed there. Without saying much he pulled Tommy and Daniel into the vortex. Just as they disappeared, Alex and Ben arrived at the house.

"Damn, they all managed to escape," said Alex.

"We failed to get the stone and catch Alice." Ben was furious.

"Don't worry. For the time being, we can divert Alberto to focus on the president's seat. Meanwhile, the stone is our business," said Ben.

"But what if Daniel takes back everything we have right now," Alex was worried. All of Alberto's wealth and power would be lost if Daniel were still alive.

"Don't worry. He's not Prince Daniel. Just someone who looks like him," said Ben.

"Are you sure?" Alex asked doubtfully.

"Of course. I've been looking for it. Let's get out of this village. Next, spread Alice's photo in the media. If necessary, make a competition with very big money prizes for anyone who can catch Alice," said Ben.

Alex laughed. "You always have good plans."

Ben smiled proudly. He did feel really great at the strategy of destroying anyone. Even Prince Daniel couldn't escape his trap.

Meanwhile, Daniel, Tommy and Virgo arrive at another forest. The forest is full of towering trees.

"Who the hell are you? How can you jump through time!?!" shouted Daniel.

"Right. Are you a vampire too?" asked Tommy suspiciously.

Virgo didn't answer. He couldn't give any explanation in that place.

"That's not important right now. Let's go to a safe place first," said Virgo.

Daniel was about to follow but Tommy stopped him.

"No. If he's a vampire how can we believe him. Maybe he's one of them too," Tommy was wary.

"Are you crazy? Vampires are the same as humans. We have some good and some bad. If I was bad, I would have eaten you long ago. You understand!" Virgos are upset.

Daniel looked at Tommy. But the man who initially refused it finally followed in Virgo's footsteps. They go deeper. Then they could see an old hut and there were several people there.

"Lee!?!" Daniel was surprised to see an old man with a stick by his side enjoying a cup of hot coffee.

"Daniel!?!" Lee was also very surprised. He put down the cup and stood up to greet Daniel.

Not only were Lee, Rachel, Bryan, Marsha and four strangers Daniel there. Tommy who recognized everyone was also very surprised.

"Why are you guys here?" asked Daniel.

"It's a long story. But actually we were waiting for my arrival," said Lee.

Daniel didn't understand. He looked at everyone who was also looking at him.

"Do you all think of me as Daniel Xavier too?" Daniel was starting to get annoyed. "Listen! I know my face is similar. My name is similar and maybe my body too. But I'm not him. Lee, you know best if I'm not him. Please stop all this. I'm tired," said Daniel. Lee looked at Daniel with an uncertain expression.

"I'm sure you all know that Daniel Xavier is dead. How can a dead human be alive again," said Daniel.

"Daniel Xavier is not human. He's a Vampire Prince from the Red Dragon Clan nation. He's the best prince the hope of the entire nation. Without him, both vampires and humans would be in ruins," said Zayn.

"Okay. He's a kind Vampire Prince. It's good that he's a vampire. So, look at me covered in wounds. Can vampires get hurt?" Daniel showed all the bruises and wounds on his body. "Please. Stop all this. I'm going crazy."

Daniel sat down while holding the pain and aches in his body. Rachel got into her car and took some medicine. She immediately helped Daniel with bandages, medicine and ointment. Everyone who had wanted to speak was restrained by Lee to let Daniel. He gave the code to everyone so that Lee would speak after Daniel calmed down.

Everyone immediately do their respective activities. Marsha immediately prepared room and food for Daniel. She hoped that later after Lee spoke Daniel could accept his fate.

"Is everything ready?" Rachel asked, holding Daniel.

"Yes." Marsha let Rachel put Daniel on the bed.

That's when Lee walked in. Marsha and Rachel immediately left the room and closed the door. They provided access and privacy for Lee to have a private talk with Daniel.

"How are you?" Lee asked.

"I don't know. Today's incident was very unexpected," said Daniel.

"Drink it," said Lee.

Daniel sat back and took a glass of water from Lee's hand. He drank slowly enjoying every coolness in his dry throat.

"I still don't understand all this," said Daniel.

Lee took the glass in Daniel's hand. Put it in a safe place so it doesn't fall and break.

"I talk to everyone. And I tell everyone about you. I don't know if this is right or wrong. But they are all people who love you." Lee said carefully.

"I don't know them at all. I..."

"I should have told you this from the start." Lee cut Daniel's words. "Jo, the one who first found you on the corpse boat. You were actually declared dead. But I found the point of your life even though it was very weak at that time. Finally I decided to save you even though the hope was very slim. Your head looks intact, but I found the tissue inside is partially damaged You have a severe head injury. And on my chest right above your heart. There is a scar shaped like a dragon's head. It was a stab wound of a sword that somehow changed and fused into your body. I think, that sword saved your life. He locks your life element for longer."

Daniel was very shocked to hear all of Lee's stories. He looked at Lee in disbelief.

"You're not lying? Why are you making up all those stories," Daniel couldn't accept.

Lee immediately removed Daniel's shirt and revealed a burn-like scar in the shape of a dragon's head.

"Look at this," Lee said as he took the mirror and showed Daniel the scar.

"I told you everything that happened that day and matched the day of death, the type of raft and the clothes you wore when you died. All valid. You are Daniel Xavier," said Lee with a sad face.

"It's a joke Lee. It's not funny. You said yourself that I'm your distant relative. My whole family was in an accident and only I survived."

"Daniel. You must know too. I can't say that you are a young man I found on someone's death raft or boat. I need a reason to make you family. To me, whoever you are you are still my grandson," Lee said as he hugged Daniel.

"But why can't I remember anything. Why?" asked Daniel.

"Let's find out," said Lee.
