457 The Long Lost Tale Part III (1/2)

However, the young man, named Zeres, didn't move. His beautiful face was filled with displeasure. ”No,” he told her, looking away. ”We will not take him with us.”

Young Abigail was quick to puff her cheeks and she immediately walked towards him, cupping her hands together in front of her as she looked up at him. ”Please Zeres, we can't just leave him here. He's going to die if we don't do anything!”

”You already helped him Abigail. That's enough. Besides, that guy is… he's a vampire! He's dangerous!” Zeres argued, still avoiding looking at the young Abigail's pleading face.

”Look at me, Zeres,” she urged.

”No,” he refused, even closing his eyes to avoid seeing her face.

The young Abigail bit her lip but there was no sign of her giving in. She glanced at the wounded young man before she returned her gaze to the silver haired man before her. ”Fine,” she puffed her cheeks like a willful little girl, turned around and walked away.

Zeres slowly opened his eyes when he felt her leave but what he saw made him clench his fists. It was because the stubborn girl was trying to carry the young man on her own.

Utterly frustrated, Zeres could only give in and he hastily took the man from her. He carried the wounded vampire on his back silently which made the young Abigail smile.

”Thank you, Zeres!” She thanked him happily as she began to lead the way, looking back every now and then to check on the two men.

”This guy is dangerous, Abigail. Please listen to me and don't take him home,” Zeres urged but Abigail just couldn't be persuaded.

”It's okay, Zeres. He's not a pure blooded vampire. He's just like you,” she told him, her eyes twinkling while the silver-haired young man creased his brows and halted.

”Just like me? What do you mean?”

”He's half human too, just like you. You're a half-witch while he's half-vampire.”

What the young Abigail explained made Zeres look at her with a shocked expression. He looked like he was having a hard time believing what she just said. Half vampire? He had never heard of such a thing! It was common knowledge that if a vampire mated with a human, the human would always die from the vampire's thirst for blood.

”I think you two could become good friends, Zeres,” the girl continued and Zeres' attention was pulled back to her. He just frowned at her words, not convinced that what she said would ever become reality.

”Why would you say that?” he asked, his tone extremely doubtful.

”You know nothing about him, Abigail. Regardless of whether your theories are true or not, he is still a half vampire and vampires are dangerous. What if he bites you?”

”Hehe,” the young Abigail grinned at him as she twirled. ”Don't worry, he won't,” she said plainly, sounding very certain.
