CHAPTER 18 Regret
You not only changed my attitude but my feelings.
Jeffry Ernest Luxion
****
In the silence and darkness of the forest was the roar of the footsteps of someone walking in a hurry. The sound of footsteps rubbed against the falling foliage broke the silence of the forest.
A bead of clear crystal escaped from Zara’s eyelids which she held as hard as she could. but failed. Her heart hurt so much. The next tears also escaped followed by the next tear. disappointed. Zara is upset with Jeffry. but if it comes back, it’s the wrong choice. This is what he has to do.
“I should have done this from the beginning. Go away from Jeffry and find my own sister. I foolishly hoped Jeffry would protect me. He’s just doing his job. Right. He just wants to kidnap me!”
The look of hatred was clearly visible in both Zara’s eyes. don’t know where he’s going to take his steps. What a horrible thing that could happen in a forest this vast. But there’s no reason to go back to Jeffry.
Deep in her heart Zara was terrified. Zara had always been under the protection of a sister and now she was in a dark forest, alone, worse, she was in a world full of dangers and threats also something in Zara’s body that the vampires wanted. Zara is really in danger after Jeffry’s protection.
All the bad thoughts began to try to gnaw on Zara’s courage. Her footsteps continued to accelerate. No matter the foot of the ladder was hit by the thorns of the bush scratched little by little producing a little blood that started to come out slowly. The smell of blood that began to emit slowly in the air provoked the danger that would soon arrive, unfortunately Zara was not aware of it, no matter how sore her leg was now. His mind was only centered on one thing. Meet her sister.

Highlight sharp eyes – red, a pair of fangs sticking out lurking someone from behind the bushes. The hungry and savage gaze wanted to immediately pounce on its prey who looked scared and helpless.
Zara stopped walking. Realizing something had been observing him ever since. No need to wait a long time. A large rogue emerged from the bushes jumping to stand tall in front of Zara.
Rogue : a wild werewolf that is not tied up in a pack. That means they are wild wolves who like to destroy small packs. They are very dangerous. He lives in caves or forests. Usually they also become scouting wolves when someone asks for them.
Zara’s whole body was shaking terribly. Witnessed the horrible creature standing right in front of him. Even Zara’s body size is not comparable at all to the Rogue. There is no one he relies on right now. The memory of Jeffry easily finishing the Rogue collection at that time flashed through Zara’s mind.
Without a hint, the Rogue jumped to pounce on the victim who did not give up to be his food.

Jeffry looked down. He is wearing the hood of his robe now. His steps looked slow with a feeling of remorse.
“What have I done!” said Jeffry with a growl.
He stopped. Without thinking twice he twisted his body to take the route backwards following someone who filled his mind.
Just a few steps he walked. Jeffry’s ear senses caught a scream of pain. The voice even screamed loudly in his ear. Jeffry’s heartbeat pumped fast.
Regret, worry, hearing the scream made Jeffry take a quick step and rush before something undesirable happened.
~~~
Almost a millisecond before the Rogue managed to pounce …,
Zara had run to escape death. He ran fast with no intention of looking back. The fear that dominated his feelings now began to evaporate into a courage that began to grow. No matter how fast the Rogue ran, Zara would keep trying and running faster with all her might thinking of a way to escape.
It almost took Zara a long time to run. Even Zara didn’t realize how fast she ran until Rogue was overwhelmed. Sweat began to trickle from his temples. He still heard the steps of the Rogue who continued to chase him without intending to stop. Meanwhile, Zara’s energy slowly began to drain until she did not focus on her path and stumbled on a tree that fell crosswise on the ground.
Use ..
Zara’s body slammed to the ground hard. His bones were broken.
Ignoring the pain, Zara tried to get up. It’s too late. The rogue first nimbly jumped and pounced on Zara’s leg. I can’t imagine the pain he felt. Blood began to flow around Zara’s legs. The rogue gripped tightly stabbing a few centi of his fangs deep. Zara screamed in pain.
Zara’s only leg was free, kicking Rogue’s stomach hard and precisely. The rogue growled in pain opening his snout slightly. Zara swiftly pulled her right leg away from Rogue’s careless shot. Try to stand and run with a limp. Countless pains that began to spread throughout his body.
The smell of Zara’s blood that came out evaporated a lot in the air, piercing Jeffry’s sense of smell as well as provoking other creatures.
There was no good prejudice in Jeffry’s mind after kissing Zara’s blood. Jeffry began to believe Zara was in danger. Stop thinking about all the bad things. Jeffry tried to focus on sharpening his sense of smell.
~~~
Zara did not give up. He ran while dragging his legs. The rogue also doesn’t intend to give up and continues to chase the victim, which makes him even more aggressive, … after smelling the delicious aroma of Zara’s blood.
The pain in her right leg made Zara fall again unable to support her body to run. There was no chance for him to escape with the condition of his legs now. Until the Rogue was right in front of him. The Rogue’s breath also looked tired and growled angrily. The Rogue began to attack Zara who stared at the Rogue in fear.
Before the fang managed to pounce on the object. A sharp object pierced Rogue’s heart deep inside.
A split second before the Rogue managed to pounce. Zara saw a sharp piece of wood twig nearby. With the steady and angry feeling that enveloped Zara, he without hesitation stuck it right in Rogue’s Heart. The rogue fell dead with blood splattering on Zara’s face and dress.
Zara stared at the Rogue who had been stabbed to death. Zara tried to stand up with her remaining energy, threw the sharp stick in any direction and started walking slowly. Just a few steps he walked. His vision was suddenly blurred and dim, his head ached badly, and Rogue’s leg had been in great pain from being forced to walk. Zara continued to step again but only a few meters survived … Zara’s body limped to the ground and luckily Zara’s head was immediately greeted by a hard stick accelerating unconsciousness grabbed her.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

The smell of Rogue’s blood mingled with the smell of Zara’s blood, disturbing Jeffry’s sense of smell. He thought of another way by looking around the forest road with the Rogue’s footprint as a pointer.
The Rogue’s footsteps managed to bring Jeffry to someone who was now drooping limply, closing his eyes tightly. Seeing a scene like this, Jeffry’s heart seemed to be squeezed, holding back the turmoil of deep sadness. Unfortunately, Jeffry could not express his sadness. She can’t cry. Vampires can’t shed tears. It was also what Jeffry felt now, seeing Zara with a body that was almost all covered in blood.
Jeffry’s outstretched hand gently touched Zara’s face with hope. “I’m back, Zara. Open your eyes!” There was no response from Zara.
Jeffry tore Zara’s black dress up to her knees and deftly wrapped it around Rogue’s bite deep enough and tied it tightly, so that Zara’s blood wouldn’t come out any more. Jeffry thought about how scared Zara was. Again and again Jeffry’s heart really hurt.
Before something bad happened to Zara again. Jeffry immediately lifted the limp body and intended to take Zara for treatment in a nearby village. Unfortunately Jeffry the arrival of an uninvited guest. Jeffry just wants to run. As he turned his body, Jeffry was greeted by four vampires who were so eager to stare at something in his arms.
“That eternal blood is real. He has arrived in our world. And I will have it!”
“Shut your mouth! I’ll have it!”
