The Prince's Secret

Episode IV

Yesterday, I saw something that I shouldn’t have.

***

“Henri is so cute.” I remarked after Henri disappeared from my sight. I stretched my feet on the ground and looked again at the gloomy clouds hovering our school. I took my notebook out and started to make some sketches of the school building. This is my final year in school and I don’t know if I made the right decision of putting Cloud’s subject off till my final year. All my classmates are first year except for Henri. I smiled when I pondered this. Henri is really cute. His small gestures are sweet.

It’s just the first day of class but it’s kinda lonely without my friends around. Then I suddenly remembered that Rukiya mentioned thattheir class near our room; I might be able to catch up with her now. I hurriedly went back to the school building and check out Rukiya’s class, but I missed the chance to see her. Her classmates told me that she went to the faculty room with Tobby. I head out to the faculty room which is in the Admin Building. As I was walking on the hall, I could recognize a trace of a very familiar scent. I headed towards the direction of the familiar scent and it brought me in front of the headmaster’s room. I sighed heavily. This is Cloud’s room. Yes, that egoistic vampire is the school’s headmaster.  I knocked on the door but no one is answering so I tried turning the doorknob and luckily it is not locked.

The room is still the same; the antique chairs and sofa, his table and the large painting of the school’s main building hanged on the wall. This is his office, but beyond the wall where the painting is hanged is his personal chamber.

The scent suddenly became stronger and the atmosphere inside the room has changed. Something is going on behind that wall but I shouldn’t pry. Not in his personal chamber. I turned my back to head out when I heard a faint female voice.

This old egoistic vampire! I walked hurriedly towards the wall and pushed on the secret block that unlocks the door.

“Ahh….uhhh…..ahhhhhh!!!” a female is moaning loudly. The faint sound I heard earlier has become a loud moaning. I grit my teeth knowing that I am not wrong. I took a few more steps towards the bedroom and stopped instinctively behind the wooden divider.

I saw Cloud having s*x with one of my freshman classmate. She was on her knees and Cloud’s left arm is wrapped around her waist raising her up and his right hand playing on her right breast. I can see her bare breasts and her long disheveled red hair are swaying as Cloud thrust on her.

“Uhhh!!! Ahhh!!! Ahhhh!!!” she moaned louder as Cloud suddenly increased his pace. He was biting her neck and sucking her blood. Cloud’s eyes are bright red, his fangs are dripping of blood. I almost took a step forward but I saw two other of my female freshmen classmate nude on the bed. They both have bite marks on their neck and they are just there lying unconsciously, pale. I gasped and covered my mouth with both of my hands. I look back again to make sure of the faces of the other two lying on the bed, but this time those bright red eyes are looking at me. He is looking at me with the eyes of a hungry vampire. He smiled and licked on my classmate’s neck where he left his marks. He pushed her head down on the bed and pulled her hair. The girl doesn’t seem to mind as he continue thrusting violently while looking at me.

“Haa….” he groaned and licked the blood on his lips and fangs.

My chest begin to feel heavy and I breathe heavily. He is looking at me I know! He is showing it to me! I feel weird. My chest is heavy and is in pain. I ran out of his chamber with my hand on my chest feeling on my heartbeat which is beating frantically.

“My apologies my Lady.” Cloud said, now with his eyes turned red. He leaned towards Sayaka pinning her against the wall and asked, “Did you enjoy yesterday’s show?”

Sayaka’s eyes grew big in disbelief; her eyes became blur and watery. She’s breathing heavily and feels upset and hurt?

“What show? You beast!” Sayaka lashed out.

“Hahaha…” Cloud laughed and pressed on Sayaka. The atmosphere suddenly changed as Cloud let out his vampiric aura. He moved his head to Sayaka’s neck and let out his breath.

Sayaka felt weird. She is being pinned on the wall but her body is starting to feel hot. She flinched as she feels Cloud’s breathe on her neck and she begin to pant. Cloud’s hand reach out for her back and pulled her gently towards his chest. He is breathing heavily and his fangs are out. He hold on to Sayaka’s face to look at her squinting eyes. He reach out for her right hand and started kissing it making glances to her face.

“Henri will be very mad at you.” Sayaka muttered as she turned her head on the side.

Cloud paused for a moment. “The young master is not here however.” He made a long kiss on her hand and hold on to her face again.

“Sayaka, look at me.” he said as he move his face closer to hers. He is looking at her eyes intensely with his bright full red eyes. Sayaka can feel that Cloud is messing up with her mind. She can feel her head spinning as she look on Cloud’s eyes. Her tears begin to fall from her eyes and Cloud impulsively hugged her. He combed her hair with his fingers and looked at the ceiling and sighed heavily. “I’m sorry.” he whispered and dispersed his vampiric aura.

“Did you do this to the girls? Ha!” she said as she pushed Cloud away.

“No. They came to me. You don’t have to worry about them, they’re vampires.” he said as his eyes turned back to blue.

“Vampires? I don’t believe you!”

“Hmmpf.” he scoffed and leaned closer to her. “I assure you that those girls enjoyed every second of it.” he said smiling with his eyes fixed to mine.

I clenched my fist and grit my teeth. I feel very upset! How can he toy with those girls’ feelings? How can he toy with my feelings? I ran out of his chamber the same way I did yesterday. Feeling disoriented and hurt.

I went to Henri’s room but was told by his servant that he cannot take any guest at the moment. The Henri who is available at any moment is suddenly not in the mood to see anyone? Maybe what Cloud said earlier is true?

***

Later that evening, I got a visitor in my room.

“Sayaka, may I see your bracelet?” Henri asked pointing to the silver bangle that I am wearing.

“My charm? Why?” I frowned. “You know that you shouldn’t be touching this!”

Henri smiled and said, “Yes. Don’t worry, I will not tamper it.”

I am still confused but Henri don’t usually do this. Was my charm tampered? I raised my left arm and touched my charm and looked at Henri.

“Please. Please trust me as I have trusted you.” he said.

“You better not do anything funny with it Henri. Please don’t break my trust again. Please tell me you are not planning anything to start a war with the human race.” I hold out my hand to him and he take it gently. He examined the charm with just his eyes and didn’t even bother to touch it. Though I shouldn’t have any vampire come close to this but I trust Henri.

Henri laughed and said, “Don’t worry I don’t have any plan of that sort not until I have an offspring.” He looked at me smiling with his eyes bright red as if it is tempting me. “Only if you are willing to be my mate I would have one immediately.”

“So? How is it?”  I asked.

He leaned back to the chair and smirked. “There’s nothing wrong with it.” He sighed. “You were blinded by your emotions Sayaka. As much as I want to punish Cloud but he is telling the truth. Those girls are vampires.” He looked straight to my eyes with a subtle hint of sadness.

“But they are students and are just first years he shouldn’t take advantage of them.” I protested. “If it was you, I know you wouldn’t do it. It is because he is like that that he does those things!”

“Sayaka, I do it too. I may look young but I am over 200 years old. Do you think I am still a virgin? We are vampires. I tell you that those girls have enjoyed it.”

He was saying something else but I can’t seem to hear it because there’s a sudden flashback in my head of what Cloud said earlier. “I assure you that those girls enjoyed every second of it.” As I was remembering this, Henri hold out his right hand and gently touched my left cheek. His eyes are glaring red and is looking at me intensely. “Let me turn you into a vampire Sayaka.” Upon hearing this I flinched and stepped away from Henri.

“No. I don’t want to become a vampire.” I answered firmly.
