LISA's POV
Jennie's eyes are burning in anger, she was looking at me— no, not at me, to her Dad who's hiding behind me.
The loud rumbling thunder above the castle and several strong wind blowing inside even if windows and doors are closed, are already enough to perceive how mad she is, Jennie is mad, MAD! and I don't have any fucking idea why she's mad!
"Am I a joke to the both of you?!" Jennie asked, she was asking the both of us, but why the both of us? What did I do to make her mad like that? After she broke my arm? Really? "Answer me!" She shouted making us to flinched.
"Wha– what did I d-do?" I asked stuttering.
"Jillion!"
"Damn! That kid was really scary like her mom." Jillion whispered behind me, still hiding.
"Ok? But can you like– move? I mean, hell yeah, she's scary but she's calling your name, old guy." I said while shrugging off of his hands that's fisting my shirt.
"N-no! Don't move or we'll both die." He said terrified and squeezed himself on my back.
"Just what the hell did you do to made her mad like that?"
"I did nothing, I swear!" Jillion said and he even put his left hand in the air.
"Ok, that's left so that means you really did something terrible, now get the fuck out behind me and talk to your daughter like a man!" I said and grabbed his collar and switched our position. "Deal with her."
"You're no help!" He hissed.
"She's your daughter." I retorts.
"She's your wife!"
"Yet, we're still not–."
"Oh wow, now you're arguing and completely forgot that I am here." Jennie said and we both immediately stood straight like a soldier, looking up to mad Jennie.
Jillion cleared his throat and pulled his coat, I was expecting him to chastise his daughter but the next thing he did was really beyond my expectation.
He get on his knees and bow his head.
"Baby, I'm sorry, Daddy just got really excited to see her–." Jillion stopped from talking and he grabbed my arm and now we're both on our knees, he then pushed my head and forced me to bow. "And please don't get mad at her, she has nothing to do with my fault."
"What the fuck are you doing?" I whispered hardly while side eyeing him.
"Just wait.."
The rumbling sound of the thunder suddenly stopped, the strong winds aren't there anymore and even the dark aura emitting from Jennie's body, vanished.
Jillion was the one to stand up first and he offered his hand but I just rolled my eyes at him and stand up on myself. He was grinning like a fool while looking at me.
"I'm going to my room, Dad." Jennie said, she's back from mad Jennie to normal Jennie real quick but still fierce. We both looked at her and Jillion nodded at him and he's still grinning. "I will let this go for now, but don't forget what I said." Jennie said and she shoot me a dagger look before rolling her eyes at me and vanished in front of us.
"What the fuck was that?" I asked astounded after Jennie stormed out. "And stop grinning for fuck sake!"
"I can't help it, okay? She's so cute."
My jaw dropped and looked at him dumbstruck. He was grinning because she found mad Jennie cute? What's wrong with this guy?!
"You're joking right?" I asked chuckling.
"No, I don't. She's really cute when she's mad but I admit. I have never seen her mad after 80 years and doing what I did earlier feels nostalgic." He looks like reminiscing his past while looking at the door where Jennie had gone and the smile still curving on his lips. When his gaze shifted on me, his smile grew even wider. "Nice to see you again, buddy!" He then said and engulfed me into a hug.
"You're crazy." I said shaking my head in disbelief. "I have never seen a Dad kneeling in front of his daughter and isn't you're the King?"
"Didn't I told you that she's the strongest vampire you'll meet?" He asked back and he smiled again. This man is really different from what you were expecting for a King. "Anyway, I'll deal with her later. But may I ask what happen to your hand?"
"You're daughter is a psychopath, she broke my hand." I scoffed and showed him my hand.
"Ooh, it looks really in a bad shape." He said while looking on it. "I guess you will need Sana for the rest of your life." He chuckled and motion his finger.
Sana popped out in front of me and hold my hand. She held it for three seconds then suddenly the pain was gone. I twist it multiple times before smiling at Sana.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, Lisa." She said back and tapped my cheek before taking step backward.
"Sana, bring the guest to their room and tell them that I still need to talk with Lisa."
"Yes, His Majesty." Sana was about to bow her head but Jillion stopped him by holding her forehead.
"I told you, call me uncle Jillion. Jisoo and Chaeyoung already calling me like that, you should try too."
"Yes, His– I mean, uncle Jillion." Sana said shyly and was about to bow her head for the second time but Jillion flicked his finger on it.
"And stop bowing, once is enough. We're family here, you're not a servant."
"I'm sorry uncle." Sana apologize while scratching her head and smiling awkwardly. Jillion smiled at her and patted her head.
"Go now, you should all take a rest and I will take care of this young lady." Jillion dismissed and they all went out, leaving me alone with this old guy.
When all of them vanished from our sight, Jillion wrapped his arm on my shoulder and tugged me along to his throne. We both stood in front of it and stared.
"This will be soon Jennie's throne."
"I already know that–."
"But it will be yours." He cut off. I snapped my head at him and looked at him confusedly. "You will be the new ruler of this Kingdom, Lisa."
"What? No! I don't have plans ruling the vampire clan, Jennie is your daughter!" I refused while shaking my head furiously.
"Jennie will be your Queen and you will be the King."
"You've got to be kidding me."
"Relax toddler, I was just making fun of you. Of course Jennie will be the one who'll rule the vampire clan." He said laughing and air quoting the last two words. "I was just really bragging my throne because I forgot to tell you that I'm a King."
"Which is still unnecessary for me to know, you're still a vampire and so as your daughter." I scoffed at him and sat on the other chair, which I supposed that belongs to Jennie.
"You really hate Jessie that much huh?" Jillion said while shaking his head and sat on his own throne. "Do you want to see her?"
"Nah, I'm not interested about her, but can I ask you a question?"
"Shoot."
"How do you know who's my mom?" I asked. It's been 12 years since the last time I saw this man and we never saw each other again. I never told him either about my mom and I don't even know why are we talking casually like this, knowing he's a King and I'm just an ordinary person. Though we were like this since then, but now is different because we are literally inside his castle, wherein all of vampires gives respect to him.
"The underground place is mine, Byulie is under my command and I dig about your background and I asked Byulie, because honestly, that night when I met you, you never leave on my mind." He explained.
"Psh! I knew you liked me back then, but I'm too young that time and I can file a complaint for child abuse." I joked and we both laugh.
"Bitch, what are you saying? You just got my attention because you're different, so I dig deeper about your past and I found out about your biological parents and I also just realized that you are the child referred to in the prophecy."
Jillion stood up and signaled me to follow him and I did. We're both walking towards a door, it's across from the door where all of my companions entered.
He twisted the knob and open it widely. When I set my feet inside the room, I was really awed when I saw Jennie's baby pictures hanging on the wall, one is she's wearing a cap backward and her fingers in a peace sign. And another picture of her, she's carrying a basket while pouting. There's another one, she was sitting on Jillion's shoulder, there were three of them and I guess the lady beside Jillion is Jennie's mom.
"That's Charmaine, Jennie's mom."
"Where is she?"
"You wouldn't want to meet her in person, she's more scarier than Ruby Jane, but she will be here on your wedding day." He said while rummaging in one of the drawer. "Gotcha!" He exclaimed and pulled out a thick book, he blew out the dust on it and he motion his finger, telling me to sit on the couch and I obliged.
"What's that?"
"Jennie's baby pictures." He deadpans and sat beside me. I felt a little excitement for what he had said but he snickers and slapped my shoulder. "Just kidding, this is your training book."
"You really need to stop, seriously." I said and smacked his arm. "You were so different from your daughter."
"I can't help it, maybe because you will be my daughter's wife. And knowing that you're one of us–."
"Just give me that book and I'll read it on my own. I want to take a rest." I said to cut him off.
"Oh, okay. Here." He handed me the book and we both stood up. "Let me bring you to your room." He said.
The both of us went out of the room and entered the other door. While we were walking to my designated room that he's talking about, he won't stop from talking and telling me how excited he is for our wedding next month, he even reminds me that there will be a banquet for tomorrow, for Jennie's welcoming party and for the guest, he also wants to address to his entire Kingdom about our marriage.
Though I'm still against on it, it's still their protocol so everyone will be aware on my presence inside the castle and as well as my friends.
"We're here." Jillion announced when we stopped in front of a large wooden two way door.
"Isn't it a little too much?" I asked while staring at the wooden door.
"Nah, my daughter deserves all the fancy things in the world and her room was one of it."
My gaze shifted at him with my furrowed forehead. "What do you me–."
"It's Jennie's room, so yeah."
"Then why on earth we're here?!"
"This will be your room–."
"Are you fucking kidding me?! You want me to stay inside your daughter's room?!" I asked horrifically and he nodded vigorously while smiling at me widely. "Do you want me to die early?!"
"Relax toddler, my Ruby Jane is harmless." He assured but I just stared at him ludicrously.
"Jennie is harmless? She just almost rip my head's off, she punched me and I got unconscious, she just broke my hand and she's always threatening my life, now you're telling me she's harmless?"
"She did?" He asked with full of amusement on his face. "Oh well, it's okay as long as Sana is always here."
"You know what? It's okay for me to sleep even the smallest room, I have no complains, but if I stay with your daughter in the same room, just hang me or stab me with stake." I said and turn my heels to walk away but he grabbed me and he knocked on the door three times, the door opened itself and he pushed me inside. "What the hell?!"
"You're going to get married soon, so take this as a start of building relationship with my baby." He said before he slammed the door.
"No!" I yelled and tried to open it up again but it wouldn't budge. "Yah! Old guy! Open this goddamn door!"
"Good luck buddy!" He shouted behind the door while laughing obnoxiously, as if he was so proud of what he have done.
"Shit!" I hissed and kicked the door in defeat. I leaned my forehead on it and sigh loudly.
I knew we would come to the point where we need to stay together in the same room, but I didn't expect that even before we got married I would be with her. What will happen to me now?
"What do you expect will happen to you?"
I quickly turned to see the woman behind me, her arms crossed and raised left brow, she's wearing pink bathrobe. Her hair are still wet and it looks like she just came out of the bathroom and when my eyes shifted on her chest, I quickly looked away but didn't came unnoticeable the smirk that formed on her lips.
"N-nothing." I replied, looking everywhere but her.
"As much as I hate to see you here inside my room, I couldn't do anything because it was the king's command." She said. In my peripheral vision, I saw her unclasped her arms and walked towards the single couch near the window. "I'm going out." She said, causing me to look at her and chuckled.
"You don't have to tell me, you can go as much as you want."
"I'm not talking to you, dumbfuck."
I choked in the air upon hearing her and that's when I noticed the two servants standing on the corner. And all I thought she was talking to me, aish!
"S-sorry." I embarrassedly said while rubbing my nape. "But c-can I go to S-Sydney's room?"
"You don't have to ask for my permission, you can go as much as you want." She deadpans.
"I'm not asking for your permission, I just can't open the door." I snort and rolled my eyes even if she couldn't see me.
Jennie didn't respond but she still stood up and pad over the door and she easily twisted the knob and opened it.
"Thank you." I sincerely said and put down the book I was holding on the table before bowing my head and stepped out of her room, as soon as I stepped out, she slammed the door hardly on my back and I jumped a little on my spot. "Bit–." Before I could finish my word, the door swung open, revealing Jennie's raging face. "B-bit–T.S, Damn I really like that boy group!" I continued and clap my hands nervously with an awkward smile.
"Stupid." Jennie hisses before slamming the door for the second time.
I released a sigh of relief and shook my head before turning my heels. I was about to walk away but I remember that I forgot to ask her where's Sydney's room.
"Great." I sigh and slumped down my shoulders. But I keep walking even though I had no destination, and I don't know why I didn't even see anyone on the hallway, so I can ask where's Sydney's room. "This is so annoying." I mumbled.
I stopped in every door and knocked, but no one's answering nor opening the door. I flicked my tongue and decided to go back to Jennie's room but before I could turn my heel, I saw a man walking towards me.
I saw this man before, he's the commander of vampire soldiers, and if I'm not mistaken, I heard Jennie called him Jonny? But what is he doing here?
"Hello?" I greet when he stopped in front of me. "Do you somehow saw my comrades?"
"Who are you?" He asked back with his firm voice and ignored my question.
"I'm Lisa, Lisa Mcklein." I said smiling and bow my head at him. "So have you seen them?"
"So you're Ruby Jane's soon to be wife?" There's a mockery on his voice and I could tell that he hates me with that disgusting look on his eyes while checking me out.
"Yes, I am, so have you seen Sydney?"
"What does the king was thinking to let his daughter to marry a woman?"
"How about Sana? Saddy or Happy?" I asked again.
"I can't imagine Jennie getting married to a loser."
"Oh, for sure you know Jisoo right? And Chaeyoung, perhaps can you tell me where are they?" I asked again.
"What the fuck? Why are you ignoring me?!" He snapped and I stepped back, looking at him ludicrously.
"You ignored me first, I was just asking you but you keep blabbering there. Are you okay?"
"I don't care where are your stupid friends! And don't look at me like that! You're just a trash–."
"You're not Jennie, so you don't have any rights to call me as you pleased and my friends are not stupid, so don't you dare to call them stupid!" I said and my eyes glazed with anger as I stared at him.
"Lisa!" I peeked behind Jonny when I heard someone call my name and saw Sydney waving at me.
"Thank's God!" I sigh in relief when I saw Sydney and shifted my gaze at the guy in front of me, who's still astounded the way I talked back at him. "See you around, slickhead." I mocked before running towards Sydney.
"Who's that?" Sydney asked when I reached her.
"An alien." I snort a laugh and she giggled.
"Crazy, I think that's the commander, right?"
"Yeah, but he looks like alien. He's blabbering gibberish words." I shrugged and wrapped my arm on her shoulder. "Where's the other?" I asked to advert the topic.
"Oh they are outside, I came back here to pick you." She said and we both went out of the castle.
When we got to the garden, I saw Saddy and Happy taking selfies with each other and Jisoo sitting in front of the round table with beer on her hand, Chaeyoung, Sana and Irene having conversation while sitting on the rock bench on the corner.
"Aren't y'all tired?" I asked when I sat beside Jisoo.
Jisoo smiled at me before opening the cooler beside her and took out two bottles of beer and gave us. "Vampire's doesn't know what tired is." She said before chugging on her bottle. "So how's the conversation with the King?"
"Nothing's interesting, he's still cool after twelve years." I replied with a shrug.
"How about Jonny? I saw him entering the castle, did you guys met?" She asked again.
"The alien? Psh, I'm not really shocked to hear those words from him, he was just like other men who likes the princess to be their wife." I snort before chugging on my beer.
"That commander liked Jennie?" Sydney asked and we both nod as an answer. "Oh, it must be painful for him to know that Jennie is going to marry my best friend."
"That's for sure, but it's not Lisa's fault that they are destined for each other." Jisoo said and she looked at me in amusement. "How'd you know that Jonny liked Jennie?"
"Isn't it too common for a guy to fall in love with her girl friend?"
"Somehow, you're right." Jisoo said and finished her second bottle. "Where's Jennie anyway?"
"I don't know, but I heard that she's going out and speaking of the dev– I mean, princess." I said when I saw Jennie walking out with Jonny and Jennie snapped her head towards us.
"She got sharp ears, Lisa." Jisoo warns.
"I do too, but sometimes, it's not working."
"You can also master that once you start your training." Jisoo said and hand me another bottle. I tear my gaze away from Jennie and shifted to Jisoo.
"Can I ask the King to change my trainer?"
"Have you seen how he kneeled in front of her brat daughter?" Jisoo asked back meaningfully.
I twitched my lips and sigh exasperatedly before chugging on my second bottle of beer.
"I guess I have no choice but to still make it alive once Jennie lay her finger on me." I said in defeat.
"You can make it, Lisa. You already survived three times." Sydney said and they both laugh and I hit her arm but she just laugh more loudly.
"Don't worry Lis, you can get your revenge on your honeymoon." Jisoo said between her laugh.
"Yeah right, as if Jennie would let me touch her without threatening my life." I scoffed.
"What? Jennie won't do that, trust me." Jisoo said with certainty on her voice.
"You're talking like you're going to be there on our honeymoon."
"I'm not, but Sana will be there." Jisoo said and they both laugh again.
I shook my head and laughed dryly. I couldn't imagine having sex with Jennie while Sana was there, that'll be so damn awkward.
"Sydney, can I sleep in your room?"
Sydney stopped from laughing and look at me, then she shakes her head furiously. "No, Irene and I will be on our honeymoon." She said teasingly then laugh again. "And oh, I'm not gonna need Sana to be there." She added then laugh louder.
"Shut the fuck up! Sana might hear you!" I whispered hardly and steal a glance at Sana.
"Don't worry, Lisa. I don't mind tho, and I'm not going to peek." Sana said, causing all of them to laugh louder.
I faced-palmed myself and shakes my head. I forgot that they are all not human, so they can hear everything. Especially, when they were just sitting five feet away from the table.
–
Our afternoon ended up and they did nothing but to tease me, making fun of my honeymoon with Jennie.
Me, Sydney, Jisoo along with Happy, got drunk for consuming too much beers. The other girls was just continuing talking and we didn't noticed the time, if it wasn't for the servant who reminded us that the dinner was ready and the King and the princess are already waiting, we wouldn't want to stop from drinking.
A lot of chamberlain helped us and bring us all to the diner, there was a long and fancy table with varieties of food. Jennie was already there with the alien beside her who's looking at me in disgust.
I mentally rolled my eyes at him and turn to the King. I thank the chamberlain for helping me out and told her that I can manage myself. She bow her head before removing her arm on me.
I cripplingly walked towards the guy who's sitting at the center table while looking at me and suppressing his smile to break out.
"Old guy.." I greet him and wrapped my arm on his shoulder and ruffles his hair.
"How dare you to disrespect His Majesty?!" Jinny suddenly stood up and was about to charge on me but Jillion held up his hand in the air to stop him. "But–."
"It's ok, Jon." Jillion assured him and I stuck my tongue out at him. His jaw clenched and shoot me deathly glares but I couldn't care less as I don't give a single flying fuck about him. Jennie is still unbothered and just keep eating. "I see, it seems that you're having fun and you're enjoying your stay here."
"I do, old guy. Actually, Jisoo gave me special wine, only for me and it's sooo good." I said, slurring my words while leaning my body against the King's shoulder while still ruffling his hair.
Jillion chuckled and grabbed my hand when I was about to fall down. He stood up and signaled his servants not to move and he's the one who helped me to sit beside Jennie.
"You should take a rest, Jennie, bring her to your room." The king said.
"Nah, she's still eating and I can–." I stopped from talking when Jennie suddenly stood up and grabbed my collar. "Hey, I can walk alone."
"Shut up, nerd." She deadpanned and pulled me up.
"See you tomorrow, Lisa." Jisoo bids and she winked at me before they all laughed and Jennie dragged me out of the dining area.
"You should not drink too much if you know you can't control yourself." Jennie hissed. I couldn't retaliate as she was dragging my body. I know that she's strong, but at least, she should let me walk on my own even if I'm crippling, not like this that she was dragging my body as if I were dead. My butt is heating up and in any minute now, I think it would be on fire because of too much friction on the floor.
The sounds of her heels clanking on the ground, echoing throughout the hallway, her ragged and shallow breathing and even the cursed words she keeps mumbling, I can clearly hear them and it adds fuzziness on me.
When Jennie pushed the door open, she tossed me on her bed but I still didn't complain and I just stared at the ceiling while arms sprawled out.
"Change your clothes before you sleep!" She yelled but I didn't flinch. I stayed like that and still staring blankly into space, my head are fuzzy and my surroundings are swirling. "Are you deaf?" Jennie asked annoyedly.
I looked up to see her and even with my blurry vision, I can still see her clearly, she was wearing a Chanel fitted white shirt and high waist jeans, her hair tied in a tight bun, revealing her soft skin on her neck and nape. I pushed myself to sat up.
"I can hear you.." I said while looking up to her and grinned. "Have I ever told you that you're so hot?" I saw how her eyes widened and the blushed seared on her face but she immediately hid it by turning away. "Come here–."
"Yah!" Jennie squealed when I grabbed her hand and we both fell on her bed when she tried to jerk my hand on hers and because she puts too much strong on it and I didn't let her go, we ended up on the bed. She was now on top of me, eyes in bewildered and mouth slightly hung open.
She was about to stand up but I stopped her by wrapping my arms on her waist. "Stay." I demand and Jennie's eyes went wider.
"What the hell, nerd?! Let me go!"
"I can't hear your heart that it supposedly rapidly beating." I said. She stopped from trying to escaped from me and she was taken aback upon hearing what I had said.
We just stared at each other and no one dared to talk. I couldn't even hear what was going on in her mind because of the sheer force of my heartbeat that makes my ears almost deaf.
My vision are getting more blurry as I stared at her and I don't know what was I'm thinking but I suddenly felt the urge to kiss her, I slowly lean my face toward her, too slow that I can even catch a glimpse of shocked on her eyes and her breathe hitches but she didn't move.
And when I noticed our lips are almost touching, my eyes flutter closed and I claimed her kissable lips, but instead of her soft lips, I felt her hard forehead on me and next is the excruciating pain right on my bloody lips and nose.
"W-wait! Jennie–!" I couldn't finished my words as Jennie starts choking me.
"You motherfucking pervert!"
"J-jen–." I was slapping her hand on my neck but Jennie seems dedicated to kill me now and no one's here to help me. I'm running out of breath and felt like I was going to lose my consciousness.
And I did.
