I woke up for the second time in the same room. I wandered my gaze and saw a painting from the wall. It's bigger than the other one and I don't know why it took my attention the most.
I tried standing up and walked towards it. It was just a plain painting of a pretty girl sitting straight. She was wearing a white simple gown with leaves and trees embroidered on its sleeves and brown endings. She has white and pinkish skin and shaggy arms. Her heart shaped lips looks really attracting and cute, her pointy nose and the doe eyes that made her look innocent.
"So beautiful", I uttered silently and walked a little to see the other paintings. There's painting of her on an armor, riding a horse and holding a bow and arrow. She looks young and innocent but she's a whole fierce woman who I cannot mess with.
I looked for more paintings and saw her with a man. I know him, he's that guy who shouted at me and washed my hair. He looks happy here and kind, definately the opposite from what he had shown me earlier. I don't know his name but I wanna know him.
I can't help but to admire their looks, they're eatheral and literally the definition of perfection, they're sculpted by the gods that no one can get close to the beauty they have.
"Enjoyed roaming?", a baritone voice spoke that made me jump in shock. He's him, on the painting. He's that guy I saw when I woke up, the one who treated my hair. But I think something is wrong, his voice is different, his voice now is a bit deeper and his eyes is also darker. I can feel a strong force draining my energy. My knees weakened and I can't speak, my hands is also weak that I can't even use it to stand. He looked at me as if I was too weak for his presence itself.
Beside him was another man, it looks exactly just like him. He looks concerned and wanted to help me but the other one looked at him and he looks terrified. After minutes lying on the floor, they decided to leave me. When they're gone, I started regaining my strength and stood up.
I got really stunned to what I just saw, there's two of them, I'm sure that the guy who came in first wasn't the same guy with me at first. The second one must be him but how is it possible? are they twins? of course they were.
A few minutes after, a large knock on the door woke my senses. He's standing beside the door with legs crossed and back rested on the walls. I felt comforted seing him, unlike earlier. I got so may questions to ask and things to clarify.
"H-hi", I looked at him and smiled. He seemed bothered but he managed to hide it. He looked at me and smiled and came towards me. I got uncomfortable so I moved away.
"You're Veeneus right?", He asked coldly while looking into my eyes.
I nodded in response.
"It's hard to believe that", he paused and chuckles.
"Isn't it crazy if I tell you that we are your mate?", he grinned and looked away.
"I don't understand?", I uttered.
"You are the Incarnation of Arthemis in this generation. We, the both of us reincarnated to fix what you broke in the past", he sounds angry.
I couldn't speak, I don't know what he's talking about. Am I really Arthemis? No! I am not her! How did they know if was her? Why me?
"There's no time arguing and explaining Arthemis, he's here and he is here to finish you! I should've let him kill you but my heart says otherwise, you are somehow connected to me and if you die I'd die too! I won't let a weak mortal like you would ruin what I built for decades! "
I looked at him and burst into laughter.
"Hahahahaha you're so so funny! Why are you saying these to me? I'm not what you're looking for"
He sighed and in just a blink of eye he is too close to me. I can smell his breath and his hands is gripping my shoulders. He looked at me with anger on his eyes.
"The prophecy said that you are Arthemis and you should pay for not keeping your promise!", he shouted and let me go. He stood up and crossed his arms.
My eyes went teary and I started crying. He looks so startled that his expression changed real fast. His eyes softened and exhaled as if he made a mistake.
"I'm really cunfused and can't still process what happened to me earlier, I'm so exhausted mentally!", I cried. "Am I really her?"
He nodded.
"A-Are you a vampire?"
He again nodded.
"Is he your twin"
"The one with me lately? he's me and I'm him, we are your mate. This might be confusing but he came from the past, he's me from the past. You must be wondering if there's other you but there's none, because you died"
"Is that me? ", I said pointing at the paintings. I realized that the question was I think awkward so I fake smiled and changed my question, "Is that her? Arthemis?", I asked.
"Yes", He threw a gaze to me for a second but it looks like he's avoiding an eye contact.
"We don't look alike", I wondered.
"It's the punishment"
"The Duke of vampires and the alphas of every pack went into full force to stop the enemy including you, after the battle, we caught you and put you in jail"
"Then? ", I want to hear what happened next.
"They prisoned you for months and they made a decision to hang you for turning your back to us"
"Maybe Arthemis has reasons you know", I insisted.
"Some of us believed that you have reasons but the other packs are hunting you down, from your family, friends and all that was connected to you"
"They killed my family!", I cried
"You want a revenge then do whatever we say", he whispered and wiped my tears. He went to the door and opened it, he held his hands to me. "Let me show you around"
I know It's weird but I want to know his name.
"Oh! I'm Ace", he winked and grebbed my hand.
Oh crap! He reads mind.
