Love From Darkness

Daniel's Burden

"Sorry sir, Jane said goodbye to buy something up front," Zayn reported.

Daniel immediately hit Zayn's head.

"Crazy. There's a shop up ahead? Zayn's forest. Forest..." Daniel was annoyed

Zayn just remembered. Why had he forgotten?

"I'm coming!" shouted Jane.

Hearing the voice of a woman who was very worried about Daniel immediately ran into the front room and hugged Jane.

"Are you all right? Are you all right?" asked Daniel, checking Jane's condition.

"I'm fine," said Jane.

"I'm relieved to hear that. What did you buy Jane? In front of the forest is not a shop. We are not in the city," said Daniel.

"Alex drove me." Jane pointed to Alex who had just entered the room. Everyone immediately looked at him.

"What?" Alex asked confused.

Daniel breathed a sigh of relief. The intruder that appeared earlier still left a big question mark in Daniel's head. However, if the target is Jane, it means that the man is a vampire who has been after Jane's life.

"I need a moment. No one can accompany me. You all stay here. There was an intruder. I'm afraid the intruder will come back again."

"But, we are worried about your safety," said Zayn.

"I'll be fine Zayn," said Daniel.

"I think the five knights are enough to guard this house. Let me escort you, Daniel," said Alex.

Daniel shook his head. For him Jane's safety was the top priority. Jane, who didn't understand all the conversation, just looked at everyone who was talking in confusion.

"What intruder?" asked Jane.

No one answered Jane's question. Because everyone ignored Jane chose to enter the room. Meanwhile Daniel had got into the car and disappeared around the corner.

Daniel looked around while driving his car. He hopes to meet the intruder and settle things. But until he came out of his kingdom, Daniel did not see anyone.

Daniel left at a moderate pace. Ben suddenly called him. They must meet at a secret location that no one knows about. The location is a beach that is not touched by humans. Only Ben knows the place.

Daniel saw the location Ben mentioned over the phone. He got out of the car and saw a gazebo not far from the beach. Daniel immediately went there and saw Ben enjoying a glass of blood.

"Is this a tour?" asked Daniel.

Ben put down his glass and then looked down for a moment.

"Please have a seat Prince."

Daniel sat across from Ben. Between the two of them was a table where food and drinks were laid out. Judging from the menu. Expensive flesh, Blood with the best fragrance, it was akin to celebrating a victory or vice versa.

"Sorry, I don't mean to be presumptuous. But this question is very important and your answer determines everything," said Ben.

"Please," said Daniel asking Ben to ask directly.

"Have you had a husband and wife relationship with Jane?" asked Ben again.

Daniel was surprised. The same question Ben asked again. Daniel was silent for a moment.

"Actually I didn't want to do it. But Alice or Jane bound me with her powers. I was helpless," Daniel replied.

Ben could understand Daniel's words. From his tone and choice of words, Daniel said yes. And Daniel did it in a state of necessity. Ben immediately poured fresh blood into Daniel's glass.

"Drink Prince. Congratulations, your strength has been perfected."

Daniel looked at Ben. He drank the blood in the glass until it ran out.

"Then? What does that have to do with books? You mentioned that on the phone," said Daniel.

Ben fell silent. He thought for a long time.

"Life is always not what we expect. I know why you don't want to sleep with Jane, even though she is your wife. You know, if you sleep together, then the red crystal that is in Jane's body will come back to you," Ben said immediately striking Daniel's heart.

So far, Daniel has kept it to himself. Secretly he read all the ancient books to solve the problem.

"If the red crystal comes back into your body. Jane, who was already dying from the start, it's not clear what her fate will be. Will she die or become an undead. Isn't that right, Daniel?" Ben tries to make sure what's on his mind isn't wrong.

"You are willing to sacrifice yourself as long as Jane stays alive. However, Jane's true side always appears and in the end you are powerless to resist. Because if you fight there will be a fight that might injure Jane's body. I can't understand how you kept all this from us You're suffering alone and we don't know anything. Prince, don't be like this," said Ben.

Daniel looked down, but his hands were shaking. The glass Daniel was holding broke. Daniel, who grew up without his parents, is used to keeping everything to himself. Even though he didn't know how to express his suffering, Daniel persisted and continued to be strong. But Alice's act of forcing him to make love makes everything fall apart. Daniel continued to be worried. He does not know what to do.

"Prince let me see our heirloom." Ben hoped the red crystal hadn't returned.

Daniel raised his hand. The image of a dragon appeared in his veins, before long a sword appeared in his hand. Daniel showed it to Ben.

"The red crystal is back. I keep checking and hope I see wrong. I always hope the red crystal never comes back," said Daniel in a trembling voice.

Ben could clearly see that the two crystals were already in place. Which means that all that's left on Jane's body are the scars. If the scars fade, then Jane's life is over.

"During the night of the m******e I was helped by Edward and Sarah. However, their child Alice was affected by the enemy's forces and died. Feeling guilty and could not bear to see the tears of both of them. I gave this red crystal, which has the ability to give life. However, as a teenager Jane's body and soul couldn't stand the crystal effect. Her attitude was inhuman and obsessed with me. I was worried that Jane would become a monster, so I asked Edward to find someone to do hypnotherapy and erase one of Alice's personalities. Finally we succeeded and Alice was renamed Jane. Unfortunately then I had to go away according to the appointment letter submitted by the psychiatrist. Because if there was me, Alice would come back. So, this is what is happening now. I don't know what to do, "said Daniel.

"Anyone who knows about this crystal matter?"

"Just the two of us," said Daniel.

"Are you sure?" asked Ben again.

Daniel nodded.

"I'll help you. I'll find a way to save your wife. But if the ending is bad, you have to accept it," said Ben.

Daniel just stared at Ben and didn't know what to say. Daniel just hoped that Jane wouldn't show any reaction. A day had passed since they had enjoyed their first night and there was no sign of any change in Jane.
