Ara & the Vampire Prince
Meet Sherpa

"Dreaming?"

Ara just fell silent. Without answering Luis' question.

"How's Erika?" In the end, Ara opened her voice.

"He'll try to be a part of us. So for a while we won't cure him"

"You can normalize Vampires?"

"That's just a term, Ra. We have one drug that needs to be tested"

"You're making Erika a guinea pig?"

"It's not. We guarantee that this "medication" has no side effects at all"

Ara stared at two black beads belonging to Luis.

"I never lied to you"

"Then Paul? How's he doing?"

"He still has to be treated in two or three days. The injury is pretty bad. Paul knows Erika's situation. And he's been Erika's "blood donor" all along"

"Had he said, if they're good you can be friends with them. Apparently he experienced it too" muttered Ara.

Ara took her breath in. Put his head on the iron balcony of Luis's room.

"What are you thinking?"

"Why are you asking again?"

It was Luis' turn to catch his breath.

"The question is not good"

"But it's about my own past. It's not about anyone else" Ara's face turned mellow.

"If the time comes I'll tell you"

"But I want it now" urged Ara.

"Fuck....

"Or you're hiding something from me"

"What do you mean?"

"It's possible we were nobody in my time before the coma"

"Ara...You don't believe me?"

"Are we not supposed to put one hundred percent trust in others"

"That's right. But I really didn't lie to you"

"Prove it then"

"Not now Ara"

"At least until I'm sure who you are"

"Then I assume my thoughts are correct" Ara said as she ran out of Luis' room.

"Where are you going?" Luis suddenly appeared, blocking Ara at the end of the stairs.

"Surge!"

"No!"

Ara pushed Luis' big body. Paving the way for himself. Run towards the exit. But just now Ara was about to open the door. Ara's body suddenly couldn't move.

"Luis..let go of me!" Fizz Ara. He knew Luis was using his power to hold his body. Lucas and Aiden who were in the living room immediately stood up. Seeing the quarrel of lovebirds who have not agreed on their relationship.

"Stay here"

"Then tell me about my past!"

"Not now!"

"You're selfish Luis!" Ara continued to rebel from Luis' strength restraint. That feels like a rope, leaking all over his body. Ara can feel if Luis tightens the bond every time he moves. Instantly a reddish bruise appeared on both of Ara's open arms.

"Luis you hurt him!" Aiden screaming. Breaking Luis' concentration. Making the bond in Ara's body break apart instantly.

"You let me down Luis!" Ara spoke before running out of Luis' mansion.

"Let him alone first" Aiden prevented Luis from catching up with Ara.

"But it would be very dangerous for him to be out there alone" Luis worried.

"You can follow his mind" Lucas advised.

"He forbade me to follow him"

"Let him alone first" Aiden suggested.

"It sucks! Selfish! Handsome doang! Not sensitive!" Maki Ara all the way.

Without Ara noticing, something was watching her. A sly grin rose at the corner of the creature's lips.

Ara walking gontai indeterminate direction. The day began to turn afternoon. When the whisper came back into his head.

"Come to me"

"Where are you?!" This time Ara really wants to know who he is even from others or whatever it is. Because Ara is conscious. Since connecting with Luis. His life is often found with creatures other than humans. Vampire, mortal, demon and most recently half vampire, Erika. So he thinks especially now.

"Get into the forest in front of you and we'll meet soon"

Without many words, Ara directly walked into the forest in front of her. The forest was quite dense, slightly troublesome for Ara.

"You're what the hell is this? Meet in the woods. That's right" Gerrutu Ara.

"He's really unique. Different, it deserves Luis to be so strict to look after you. So crazy about you"

Ara was trying to pass through a fairly thick bush. Making his calves and hands several times scratched roots and pointy branches. Until he arrived in the forest, he thought so.

When something is truly beyond her expectations. Waiting for himself. A large snake was curled sweetly before Ara's eyes. Made Ara instantly rewind her body. Afraid and surprised.

"You coming?" Asked the creature after opening his eyes.

"He's the one I've been waiting for all this time" The creature's mind stared intently at Ara.

Ara was clearly scared to death. The snake is huge. It can be ascertained once the "hap" himself will run out in the prey of the snake.

"Si..who are you?" Ask Ara scared. A little distance to himself and the snake.

"I'm Sherpa. Ancient snakes that have lived for hundreds of years. Are you afraid of me?" Answer Sherpa. Uphold his head. Making the creature to be very high in front of Ara. The girl even had to look up to stare at Sherpa's hideous face. According Ara.

"You.you are.you are indeed frightening" great-granddaughter Ara said. Ara's face began to look pale with a body trembling in fear. Especially when Shera slightly hissed and pulled out his two-pronged tongue.

"He..ha..ha..."

Sherpa's laughter echoed in the middle of the forest. Back to make Ara scared.

"The aura is absolutely incredible. Well, we'll do a little experiment then"

"alright. Because I'm happy today. I'm going to change my form. So that you don't fear me" Says Sherpa and in the blink of an eye, the snake's hideous body disappeared. Replaced with a handsome man in a black dress and robe. 

The mane of her long hair is white. Same with his pale skin. Taper face, pointed nose with black eye beads. A snake-shaped symbol was engraved on the man's forehead. His form is very different from his original appearance. His good looks are not inferior to Luis and the others.

"Great, I only absorbed a little of his aura and my form could change perfectly. Amazing" Sherpa satin. Looking back in amazement at Ara. Who now looks at his human form.

"Are you still scared now?"

"It's not anymore" replied Ara nervously.

"You are beyond my expectations, Ara" Sherpa approached Ara. Back made Ara rewind her steps. Although Sherpa's form has turned out to be more handsome, Ara must admit it. But the terrifying aura of black also remained attached to the human figure of Sherpa. Moreover, Sherpa's sharp gaze seemed to lock on Ara.

The man circled Ara, inhaling the sweet scent of the girl's blood.

"So what do you want to know?" Sherpa starts fishing Ara.

At first he was aiming to take Ara's blood. But look how beautiful Ara looks. Also look at how Luis is so protective of this girl. Sherpa changed his mind. He had a plan to hold Ara by his side.

Seeing how Ara's nature, it can be ascertained if Ara will do anything for the safety of others, especially Luis. That's at least what Sherpa had in mind. Without him noticing, Sherpa has fallen for the charms of an Ara. Hundreds of years passed. Just this time Sherpa was interested in a girl.

On the other hand,

"You found him?" Luis asked his friends in frustration.

Everyone shakes slowly. They're trying to find Ara. Tracking the existence of the girl using their respective auras.

"He's around the woods. But after from there. His aura disappeared" Yoon said flatly.

"You found him?" Erika asked in panic. All shakes in response.

"Where did he go?"

"Or be taken away" Lucas replied to Luis.

"You mean....

"Asha found an extremely powerful black aura within the forest. He guessed that aura was the one that hid Ara"

"Where is that?" Luis asked quickly. Shortly thereafter. The man had already disappeared in one blink of an eye. As soon as Lucas shared the location of the forest he got from Asha.
