Ara & the Vampire Prince
Best Friend

"I'm sorry, Bi. I can't keep your daughter at your request" Sherpa stared wistfully at the moon hovering before him.

"You daydreaming?" Zhang was already standing beside Sherpa.

"I still feel guilty for Auntie"

"He's fine with his dad"

"I'm not sure. Moreover, the plan man had never sided with aunt since long ago. My aunt had to sacrifice her life. I want to destroy the underworld" Sherpa growled furiously.

Zhang simply fell silent, hearing Sherpa's heartache. Zhang didn't know how else to calm Sherpa's heart.

"Is everything ready?" Sherpa asked again.

"Everything goes your way. It's just.are you sure about all this. I mean he, you hurt him Sherpa. If you do, you're the same as that plan guy"

"Of course I'm different. I only have one. Don't have another"

"But...

Zhang's rebuttal came to a halt as Sherpa raised his hand. I don't want to hear anything from Zhang.

"I know what I'm doing. Just prepare everything. And added an escort on my wedding day. I thought there would be an uninvited guest that day"

"He's coming?"

Sherpa did not answer. Just a faint smile.

"How is he doing?" Sherpa asked Ming.

"Eat a little. Don't want anything"

Ming passed by with a sad face. He knew the woman Sherpa had brought was very forced to be here. Over and over again, Ara asked Ming to let her run away from him. But what could Ming do.

While Sherpa, was currently staring at Ara who was sleeping curled up on the sofa in her room.

"Don't try to challenge me, Ara. Or I'll do the thing you least want in your life" whispered Sherpa. Slowly grabbing Ara's body. Carrying it. Move it to his big bed.

"Don't cry" Sherpa said as he put Ara's body in his arms. Followed the girl into dreamland.

Two days before the wedding, please,

"I don't want to marry him"

Mumbled Ara quietly. Keep running out of Sherpa's room. Passed through some guards who were unable to stop him.

Ara accidentally heard the talk of Ming and the other servants. About the wedding that will be held in two days.

"Luisne....Luis.aarrgghhh" Ara grimaced as she continued to run. No matter the wounds on his feet and hands. In reality, though Sherpa's palace looks small. But it is also broad. There was even a small forest inside.

"I have to run. I have to get out of here" Ara kept running in panic. He knew it would be difficult. But at least he should try not. Ara continued running nonstop.

"Where are you running?" A voice sounded in Ara's mind.

Makes Ara more afraid. No, he didn't want to go back to that palace. The girl did not care about the increasingly powerful chuckle around her neck. She raised the height of the nightgown she was wearing so as not to complicate her running. Until then the steps completely stopped. When he stood at the end of Sherpa's palace. A bottomless abyss was plastered before the eyes.

"This palace is floating" murmured Ara.

"You're right" One voice made Ara turn around. She saw Sherpa hovering before her. The man's face showed an unreadable expression by Ara. Maybe she was angry at Ara.

"You dare run from me?" Grumpy Sherpa. This time his face really showed anger.

"I don't want to marry you!" Pekik Ara's. A moment later, the girl had already fallen down. Holding her neck.

"You should have known that so did the exchange with me. Being mine means marrying me"

"I don't want to!"

"You're really stubborn, Ara!" Sherpa drifted towards Ara. Makes the girl back herself. Right on the edge of the cliff. Ara's body nearly crashed into a bottomless abyss, if only Sherpa had not held back Ara's waist.

"Let me die!" Hiss Ara right in front of Sherpa's face which is only a few inches from his face.

"Don't dream!"

"You're evil" Lirih Ara.

"You're really letting my patience run out, Ara. So don't blame me if I do this to you" Sherpa said quickly.

Slowly the man raised his left hand.

"You'll forget him forever"

"No! What are you doing?" Ara cried out in panic as a white light shot out from Sherpa's palm, along with the man chanting a spell in a language that Ara did not understand.

"No!" Ara muttered as Sherpa pressed her index finger against her forehead. Just like when Luis unsealed Ara's memories. The white light was absorbed into Ara's head.

"You're mine now" whispered Sherpa gently as Ara's body squeezed in her arms.

"Arrrghhhh" Luis pressed against his chest. When pain hit his chest. It was as if his heart was being stabbed with a dagger.

"What's wrong?" Ask Yoon.

"Eitherway. It's just that I feel like something bad has happened" Luis murmured.

"On Ara?"

"Maybe. By the way I feel that I can't feel Ara's thoughts. Did he do something to Ara"

Yoon looked at Luis. Trying to figure it out. But nil, Yoon also found nothing.

"I think it's almost crazy waiting the day after tomorrow. If only the potion Hans gave him worked straight away. I'm going to break through the upper world right now"

"Patience, the medicine Hans gave did take some time to react. It's not magic that can work right now"

Luis growled in annoyance.

"Sorry for what happened that day" Erika said guiltily to Paul.

"It's okay. We are friends"

"But Paul you can't keep this up with me"

"My feelings are mine, Rika"

"I'm sorry Paul, I can't accept your feelings. I don't have any feelings for you"

"It's okay. Don't keep feeling guilty about me. I'm fine"

Erika looked at Paul's face, which always gave him a smile. What a kind man. But Erika had absolutely no feelings for Paul. Especially since he met Yoon. The refrigerator man who admitted to biting her at the time.

Yoon manages to shake Erika's heart. So he decided to adapt to his new world. After all, now Yoon always helps her if it is related to her current state.

"Seek a woman who is truly sincere with you"

Paul took a slow breath.

"I'll try. But not now. I need time to heal my newly broken heart"

"Paul's...

"Handle.iya-iya later I find. How about Ara? Can't you?"

"You want to be bitten by Ara's boss" Erika said quickly.

"Ara's boss? He too..oh my, it was appropriate that time he asked me" murmured Paul.

"What about?"

"It's okay. Are Ara and her boss dating?"

"You can say it like that. But now they are in trouble" replied Erika wistfully.

"What problem?"

"Erika....

One voice called out to Erika. He warned himself not to tell more.

"Sorry Paul, I can't tell you much" Erika again apologized.

"They forbid you to tell me?" Paul asked and Erika nodded.

"Tell them. You guys are my friends. Until whenever I keep thinking of you like that. So don't worry I'll keep your secrets. You can hold my words. Call me if you need any help"

Paul said with a smile. It made Erika feel guilty. Having a friend as good as Paul was a blessing in itself for Erika and Ara.

"The best friend we've ever had"
