We all walked towards Arlie's house. It took about fifteen minutes until we got to Arlie's house. Waw. His house ... is huge! On the fence there are patterns of flowers that are neatly slammed. I also saw two bird statues above the gate of the fence. Arlie's trying to open the gate
"Miss, you want to call your mother first maybe?" Wilson thrust his phone at me. I think it's okay too, I took his phone with a smile.
Since there's no Mom's phone number here, I'm entering her number. For me to memorize Mom's phone number, so I called her right away.
Before long my call was finally picked up by Mom. Now I can breathe a sigh of relief.
"Mom, I'm at Arlie's house right now" I said directly.
"Arlie? Oh, apparently you're familiar with him. Mom thought Arlie would take a while just to get to know you. Because Arlie said, you were very quiet at school."
So ... Mom already knew Arlie? Why didn't he tell me? Mom sucks!
"Well, I want to turn off the phone first" I said again. Now I no longer have a topic of conversation with Mom.
"Don't come home too late, tomorrow we'll go. You remember?"
Ah, yes.
"okay."
tuuuutu.
I cut the connection unilaterally. Arlie had already managed to open the gate, and I did not see Wilson now, the girl standing in front of the fence of her house folding her hands to her chest.
"Have you finished your phone?"
"Yes, please give this to your father later huh, Arlie!" I said while giving her phone.
"Let's go in. My dad said you'd tell me something later."
***
"Dalton Kingdom. Can you remember that?" ask Arlie.
Of course the kingdom is very foreign to me, I really don't know it at all. I was shaking in response.
"Jeez." Arlie stuck his index finger to his forehead, pretending to be thinking. "Last century's battle between the Dalton Kingdom and the witches and vampires?"
A vampire?
Emerald ... Suddenly I remembered him. But I felt like someone was whispering to me in my heart.
*vampire...
Vampire*bind*...
The battle of the last century, I forced to join the war. Many horses lined up neatly and also the nobles who were dressed in iron on it. A vast expanse of field that has been filled with humans to fight. The sky turned black, it was caused by a witch. They were deliberately to ease their strategy against the Dalton kingdom. At that time, the Dalton kingdom was attacked from two immediate clans. Yes, the witch and the vampire nation that had fangs at the time they showed.
Until the sound of the trumpet sound sounded, I took a breath and exhaled. I held my arrow tight at that time, preparing to fight even though I was a minor to fight at that time.
"Veronic! You're careless ..."
I don't know who's yelling like that to me. Laughing constantly in my head. The smell of blood from this war is very stinging. I still abstain from retreating, my hair tied to a ponytail.
"Vero, stop!"
I ignored the call, looking at the sea of humans at war, I shot my arrows many times up into the sky. And I'm sure I won't dart every arrow I stick at the enemy.
Maybe it was me who was too careless, I who shot stealthily behind a tree did not realize if anyone was against me from behind. A foreign arrow stuck in my right shoulder. Blood is flowing there.
Blood ...
Then I felt that my world was spinning, but the pain in my shoulder was still felt when the arrow was no longer stuck. In front of me was Arlie shaking my body.
"Vero's? What's up?"
"Akhs! Sa-sick.." I groaned while holding my shoulder which suddenly felt pain. Even very painful, like being slashed by a sharp object.
"What's up, Vero? Let me see!" Arlie panicked to see me moaning. He immediately revealed my uniform shirt on the shoulder. "Geez .. This is really you, Vero!"
"uh?"
"Let's see it on your shoulder, there's a scar there."
I immediately switched on my shoulder. Yes, there are wounds there. Then is there a problem? Earlier I was also confused as to why suddenly on my shoulder there was this wound, but when I asked Mom, she answered him not knowing. I don't know if Mom pretended to know or lied.
"Then ... why?" By the way, this scar is permanent. It's been there a long time.
Arlie suddenly touched my head. I complained of pain and rubbed my forehead.
"War time .. You're so sloppy! Remember?" Arlie spoke with eyes as if very hopeful.
But ... Hearing Arlie's question made my head dizzy.
"Ar-arlie? Can you please stop this conversation? Don't push me to remember! My head hurts. At first I just wanted to know what's going on with me right now."
Arlie sighed. We were talking in Arlie's room.
"All right, I'm sorry. About what's happening now to you, it's common. Just so you know, there's a whole bunch of vampires running around to find you out! And most of them already know that you live in this town. So your mother sent me to take care of me."
The feathers of kudukku bristles. No, please don't face that creature called vampire again.
"Just ... Vampires, right? The nation of the witch you were telling me about?"
"Ah, I forgot. Where vampires are, witches always sneak in them. You have to be careful Vero."
"That means I'm in danger?"
"Of course!" Arlie looks furious. "Akh, your memory should still be there. So I can easily tell you."
Crick.
"Dad, don't bother me" Arlie said as the door opened. I was confused when he said, but a moment later there was someone who raised his head from the door. Yes, it turns out to be true Om Wilson.
"Vero called his mother to come back?"
"In a moment," replied Arlie. I just smiled cheerfully at Om Wilson.
"Well, I'll wait to deliver Miss Veronica."
"You know Vero? If you feel like a lot of people are watching you at school, it's all because you admire you and you're the one who pays the most for school."
Oh ...
"But they're human, right?"
" Well, I don't know either. Some I've been tracking vampires disguised as humans. That's why I flushed you away from the Emerald."
"He ... Vampires?"
"No, he's human. But he's allied with witches."
"Difficult to believe!" I stared at the light from the moonlight that penetrated into Arlie's room. It's dark in there too, I'm afraid tonight is too late.
"Why? Shall I take you home?"
Arlie seemed to know my heart. I'm afraid I'm gonna be up late for a family picnic tomorrow, so I nod at Arlie.
