The snow puppet in the courtyard looked ordinary but was able to grab the attention of the prettiest girl in the class, whoever made it must have been a cheerful man and believed in his dream because there was a black stain on his round body because it was mixed with mud due to a little snow.
Tuk
He blinked his eyes at the sound of a finger tap on his desk, as he turned his head, apparently a classmate who was smiling meaningfully.
"What's wrong?" tanyakanya.
"Come to my birthday party tomorrow, don't forget to take your boyfriend" she said, handing him a small pink envelope.
"Tomorrow?" ask again while looking at the invitation card.
"Yes, why? you have a show?"
"Ah no, well I'll come"
"Good, don't forget to bring your girlfriend because it's a couple's party" he reminded.
The first man he remembers is of course Manager San, but their relationship has even run aground without ever starting. The only man she now has status with is Chad, but let alone going to a party with her even being around her within five minutes is a record.
Chad does have a handsome face and is quite good, but every one nearby makes Kyra uncomfortable. He felt Chad's terrible smile like a psychopath, the aura released by Chad was cold to make him shiver in fear.
Maybe it's because Chad is a vampire like his grandfather said, for him who bleeds witches of course they're like water and fire.
Without the passion of going home from school Kyra chose to shut herself in the room, spending her time lazing around until Violet made a crowd in her room.
"Oh where's my cheerful girl?" abugn.
"Dead, he was too tired because of the mental pressure he got every day"
"Is that? you blame mom even if it's for your good?" crush Violet with a tone that began to rise.
"Come on ma'am.don't start again, I'm tired" she said.
"Learn where your manners are? even now your room is chaining once, garbage all over the place and what is this?" he saw the invitation card when he picked up the trash.
"Your friends are having a party" Violet said after reading it.
"Hey you have a show, you can use this to take Chad away" Violet said enthusiastically.
Kyra just rolled her eyes lazily because she had no other choice.
"I'll call him later" he said slowly.
"That's great! finally you realize too, well enjoy your beautiful sleep dear" replied Violet before leaving the room.
Kyra did say that, but until the next day she still did not call Chad to take him away. Too awkward and too afraid of the figure of the man who will be her future husband, in the end Violet intervened also to create a moment for them to become closer.
The night that she had to go to meet the invitation Kyra had spent a lot of time just looking in the mirror, not wanting to look beautiful in front of Chad but confused what to behave like.
"You're just going to go to a baby party instead of being a bride, Chad's already come and waiting for you downstairs" Violet told reporters.
"Well, I'm just making sure everything's in order" she replied.
Because Violet remained there and waited for her to inevitably move Kyra out of the room, meeting Chad who had been waiting for her.
"You look beautiful" Chad praised.
"Thank you, um.bu we said goodbye"
"Yes, have fun" replied the excited Violet herself.
Chad also did not forget to say goodbye before leaving, with a big smile Violet replied with a wave of her hand.
"Where's Manager San?" kyra asked as she got into the car that nobody was in.
"Let's know, maybe he's in his house resting. Why?"
"Ah, oh no. It's just that I'm used to seeing her accompany you" Kyra replied awkwardly.
Hahaha
"Yes, he usually goes with me wherever I go" Chad said.
Kyra just smiled in response to the remark, arriving at the party venue not forgetting Chad thrusting his arm so they can join hands like lovers.
When they arrive at the party room, of course, Chad's good looks and Kyra's beauty make them the center of attention.
"Hai Kyra, you're finally here" said the party owner who is none other than his classmate.
"Oh hi, happy birthday"
"Thank you"
"This is Chad" Kyra said.
They shake hands while smiling at each other, obviously Kyra's friend is so interested in Chad that he lingers holding Chad's hand.
"Alright, please enjoy the party" he said aware that he had crossed the line even though Kyra was there.
"Thank you" Kyra replied.
Now they are alone, with a glass of drink they start the party but after spending a long time Kyra does not move from Chad and obviously it feels strange.
"You're not joining the others?" ask Chad.
"Ah that.I am a new student so.." replied Kyra who could not finish her words.
Of course Chad understands what Kyra means, no friends have ever said hello to Kyra.
"If you want we can go home now" Chad bargained.
"That's it" said Kyra doubtfully.
Actually, he really wants to go home, but Violet will certainly ask questions and even make an unnecessary fuss because she went home quickly.
"I want to take a walk, do you want to accompany me?" ask Chad suddenly.
For a moment Kyra was silent but finally she nodded as well, they went to the park where even though it was quite crowded at night with Christmas trees already standing here and there.
Happy people joking with their partner or family, which makes Kyra jealous because she is not in that position. As he remembered, even he did that last time while still in elementary school, when he entered Violet's junior high school, he changed his attitude by teaching her to be a noble girl.
"You want to eat something?" bargain Chad.
"No, thank you" he answered.
"Christmas later she'll get a good present" he murmured.
"I'm sorry?" ask Kyra.
Chad pointed at the boy, making Kyra understand her point.
"I think so too, every child will definitely get a lot of gifts and interesting. When I was a kid even every Christmas I got a gift that I wrote in a letter to Santa, when I was growing up I found out that the saint I believed was my father"
"It looks like your father loves you very much, I'll bet even he's willing to give his life for his daughter" Chad said.
"All dads are like that, your dads must be"
"No! he didn't do it"
"Um..maybe he just doesn't dare to confess his feelings, but secretly he must always be attentive to you" said Kyra trying to melt the atmosphere that feels awkward.
"If it could be that way, unfortunately neither my father nor my mother could do it because they had left when I was too young to understand the meaning of death."
Kyra was silent about it, she never thought it turned out that this perfect man was not perfect in terms of family. This explains why the dinner was only attended by her grandmother, unfortunately Kyra was too indifferent until she realized this.
"I'm sorry" he said regretfully.
"It doesn't matter, after all, it's happened a long time ago" Chad said.
Yes, it has been too long but his heartache is still new. Even now in his body the fire of revenge is still burning more and more with the close relationship between himself and the Hermes family.
The sudden silence between them makes Kyra feel awkward and guilty, she is sure that even Chad says fine but the topic is too sad to discuss.
In the late night with the wind blowing the cold Kyra began to shiver, her hands trying to rub both arms to make it a little warmer.
Srek
Chad suddenly put on his suit, smiling he said.
"I'm sorry to have taken you to such a cold place"
"Ah that's no problem" Kyra replied quickly.
"We should go home now, it's not good to linger outside" Chad, who was answered with a nod of his head by Kyra, said.
They got up and started walking in tandem, down the sidewalk by passing shops that had begun to close to Chad's car parked far enough away.
As they were about to pass the toy store an employee was seen busy carrying large boxes inside, unfortunately, the pile of cardboard he was carrying was too heavy with a less precise position until the moment Kyra walked past them they collided.
The cardboard jumped out of the employee's hand and was ready to hit Kyra who was about to fall, in time as if walking slowly Kyra could feel the danger.
Brucks
Aaaa....
His eyes closed helplessly looking at the cardboard with toys that hit his body, but after a few seconds passed he felt no pain in his body. Surprisingly his body did not fall either, a hand he felt holding his waist made his matan slowly open.
The first thing he saw was Chad's face, flushed red from the pain of his back being hit by a cardboard smash.
"Chad!" call Kyra.
He quickly rose from Chad's arms, seeing that the officer had also fallen down with the toy now scattered below.
"You okay?" tanyanya's worried.
"I'm okay, are you okay?" said Chad, who immediately confirmed the situation of the officer.
"I'm fine, forgive my mistake. Are you hurt?" ask the same officer.
Chad just smiled and nodded, forcing him to go to the hospital or just go in first so he could make sure that Chad was really okay. But Chad insisted on refusing even he helped the employee clean up the mess that had happened.
It was then that for the first time Kyra's fear of Chad disappeared, that her mind now found a logical reason in the balij of Chad's sharp gaze and cold aura. It was nothing more than the sadness of losing both parents, which Chad turned out to be a good young man.

Actually Hans was reluctant to bring Keenan to the Elf house and take care of him, but because he could not let Keenan just like that and again the soul potion that was still in Keenan's hands finally he had no other choice.
For a full day he treated Keenan's wounds to the point of being completely healed, while the Elves were still lying down and needed a few more days' rest.
"Surprisingly, my wound should have quickly closed by itself" Keenan muttered looking at the prick marks.
"It's not a silver bar" Elf said.
"Ah Elf, you can't get up yet" Hans worried.
"It's okay, just lying down makes me dizzy"
"What do you mean not just any silver?" ask Keenan curiously.
"That's silver smeared with garlic" replied the Elf.
"What?"
"Vampire not only hates garlic because the smell alone damages the sense of smell, but when eating it, garlic can be a poison to the body of vampires" explained Elf.
This is only known to Keenan, he did not expect from the many books he read turned out to be small information from forest guardians more useful and actual.
"Why did you tell me? am I not your enemy?" ask Keenan wonder.
"I don't consider you an enemy, you need to know on the other side of this part of the forest there's a group of creatures that have lived longer than you are now. They are the forest dwellers also that I have to take care of and protect even though they sometimes damage, they are a nation of one kind with you"
"Vampanences" said Hans finished the Elf sentence.
Hans had offended this people when they were about to go into the hole in the tree, initially Keenan only so you know because he was not so interested. Surprisingly now when the Elves who offended this nation his passion began to stir to find out more.
"Our battle is balanced, it means that no one wins and you cannot meet the Goddess because I have not allowed it. Than to travel far for the sake of the Goddess that you can not necessarily go to how do you you meet this nation? I'm sure you'll get something that you won't get from the Goddess" said Elf.
"Tell me more about this people" Keenan said.
Elf happily repeated the story, explaining the vampananences to Keenan as he explained them to Hans.
Although it looks like a fairy tale but the story can be believed by the existence of another living witness, Hans, because of curiosity Keenan Hans also shared to tell how his first experience when hunted by the nation of vampanences.
Some similarities that vampanences have with brutal vampires from Alabama trials make him remember the words of the old vampire who had offended vampanences with the call of the predecessor.
The power of vampanences described by Hans made him more interested until he momentarily forgot his ambition to meet the Goddess, now Keenan asked the Elves to take him to the nest of vampanences.
At first Hans refused to remember the condition of the Elves who were still too weak, but after getting an agreement that he would leave after the Elves were healthy then Hans agreed although still on the condition that he would join as well.
