Mr. Dimitri's Toy
Goodbye, Chloe Isabel

[The Third POV]

Chloe's eyes couldn't escape Ulrich's neck, a sweat falling across her sturdy neck behind her shirt adding to her interest. Chloe suddenly felt thirsty.

The smell of Ulrich's blood seemed to call out to him. Chloe frowned confusedly.

‘Blood? I can smell the blood!’

“Nona Chloe? Miss...” Ulrich called the woman in front of him who was not concentrating on his words.

Chloe flinched and shook her head several times like she was clearing her mind.

{Sorry, Ulrich. What did you say?}

Ulrich looked at him worriedly, “Nona, are you okay? You need to go to the doctor? I'll drop you off right now.”

Chloe and her brother Sierra had an accident. Their horse-drawn carriage was accidentally hit by Mr Dimitri's chariot. They had to lie unconscious for some time.

In exchange, Mr. Dimitri allowed them to live in one of the houses on his estate. It just so happens that Ulrich's sister is old enough and needs a job so Mr. Dimitri hires Ulyrisa to help Chloe and Sierra here.

Chloe shook her head and held her own left neck. Ever since he woke up from the coma, there was a strange wound like two dots there that could not be lost. It was just a wound that scratched his body.

“Then, about my invitation earlier to the thanksgiving celebration... What miss deigns to go with me?”

Ulrich scratched his non-itchy head, the man's face blushed in embarrassment at the beautiful girl in front of him who instantly captivated Ulrich's eyes from the first time he came to this house, her heart was pounding so hard she thought she would jump out if she waited for Chloe's answer any longer.

Chloe nodded with a small smile on her face, making Ulrich even more heartbroken. He was about to say what time he would pick up Chloe when the tip of his eye caught the figure of a man sitting on a dark horse.

‘Mr Dimitri!’

Chloe turned to look at what Ulrich was noticing, but the man had already turned his horse so Chloe could only see his back. He was wearing a black robe, his hair was jet black. From the clothes and horses he rode, the man was definitely from among the nobility.

{You know him, Ulrich?}

Ulrich turned his eyes to Chloe, “Oh, she's my employer, Miss Chloe. Mr. Dimitri D’Arcy. He hasn't come to visit you since the accident?”

{I've never seen the figure of Mr. Dimitri, Ulrich.}

Chloe looked back, looking at the house they were living in now.

{Your master must be very good. He was responsible for giving us a place to stay for a while even hiring Ulrysa in this house.}

Not just for a while, but Mr. Dimitri D’Arcy gave the message that they could stay as long as they wanted. They do not need to bother with the cost of living, because he will pay for all their needs.

But Chloe doesn't want to rely on the kindness of others. The woman was already planning to leave Rudolmuv Kingdom. The more she thinks about it, the more unanimous Chloe's decision to go far from her homeland.

“Of course, miss. All those who work for him or rent his land, will think the same. He's a mysterious figure but never rude, miss.”

Chloe just nodded her head. Not thinking too much about Mr. Dimitri's figure. He focused more on the smell of Ulrich's blood which made his teeth itch.

Finally, with a heavy heart, Ulrich decided to go home after confirming that Chloe was going with him to Thanksgiving.

Chloe sees her freight train passing by and waving from the front of the fence then re-enters the house, continuing activities that no longer attract her attention.

***

Like the previous nights, Chloe jolted up from her sleep. His eyes were wide open, tears streaming down from both eyes soaked the pillow under his head, his mouth gaping wide as if screaming something.

The same nightmare. Chloe was sure she dreamed the same thing every time she woke up with a heart-wrenching pain. He tried to remember what he dreamed, but it was as if his memory was erased, as if he had never dreamed.

He was tired of waking up like this. Chloe got out of her bed and stopped in front of the mirror to look at herself.

Blank. He was like an empty shell that had no soul.

Chloe noticed the two spots wound on her neck from the mirror, then was surprised to see her eyes turning red. He blinked in disbelief, then the brown bead he knew well looked back at him from the mirror.

Maybe he was just hallucinating. Chloe changed her clothes for riding. Elfin awoke as he walked into the stables and saddled on Twinkle's back.

Elfin was confused by his strange habit of riding at this hour, but never protested or reported to Mr. Dimitri. Elfin could see the sad expression that always adorned the young girl's face, even though she was smiling.

As he spoke, he seemed to be in another world that no one could reach.

“Be careful, miss Chloe!” elfin exclaimed as Twinkle started galloping to take him away.

Chloe spurs Twinkle faster again and again. The howling of the wolf was greeted with another howl, the night was gripping, the moon was shining full and bright above the sky.

“Ahh!”

Chloe held onto her neck, the scar suddenly hot and throbbing. He's never felt this before. Chloe slipped her hand into the collar of the shirt and sighed as her cold hand slightly reduced the throbbing.

Chloe moved her jaw. There was discomfort at the top of his teeth. The heart that normally pumps tight as he rides becomes slow. He did not gasp as he charged forward Twinkle fiercely.

His vision increased sharply, he was able to see his surroundings clearly in a night only illuminated by moonlight. His eyes caught an owl hanging from a tree 8km away.

Chloe breathed in the smell of blood but it wasn't the blood she liked. Unlike the smell of Ulrich and Elfin's blood.

But before Chloe could see her face, her thoughts turned to the moment one cold hand cupped her cheek and her tears fell on the man's big hand. Chloe's sure she's a man, but her face…

Chloe shook her head, trying to remember that face. Twinkle leaped over a large tree trunk that fell on the ground, and a strange occurrence crept up again in his head.

It was like he was watching a re-enactment scene where the cast was himself. But all those feelings were real, he was really living that life.

A person curled up and moved over her body, Chloe's arms coiled around the man's neck and she screamed as she was carried flying into the highest sky and was blown away so quickly from a height.

Twinkle neighs loudly as Chloe suddenly pulls her harness, Twinkle's two front legs raised upwards, almost dropping Chloe's body.

Cold sweat washed over his body.

‘Cannot be! None of that ever happened!’

Increasingly confused by the change in her, Chloe spurred Twinkle back and passed the steep road, then stopped at the end of the cliff.

He came down from Twinkle's back with a light body. Even Chloe didn't feel she was using her power at all. He walked to the edge of the cliff with a raging feeling.

‘What happened to me?’

His neck was still throbbing, his canine teeth extended and his mind took him to another place.

It hurts!

He felt his back being torn to shreds as the whip grabbed his skin. With tears she held a necklace in her hand.

Spontaneously, Chloe took out the necklace she was wearing and plucked it from the neck. Feeling burnt while holding it, he threw the necklace to the ground.

Chloe looked at him with a grudge enveloping her heart and an event flashed through her mind again.

A man lowered his head on Chloe's big belly, stroked her stomach and said gently.

“Papa can't wait to see you, peanut.”

Chloe flinched and took one step back, her eyes wide open staring at the vast sea from the edge of the cliff.

Then he saw himself lying weakly on the bed, sweat soaking himself, blood adorning the cloth under his hips. His hands were raised up to reach for something.

It was in someone's arms, but he just turned his head with an evil grin.

“You will never see your son, little babu.”

Chloe screamed so loudly, her voice breaking the silence of the night. He held his head that seemed to be about to break with both hands.

‘I don't want to think about it! I don't want to remember! It hurts, my heart is so sad! I can't stand... God, I don't want to remember everything!!’

But as if God had not heard his plea, he was taken back to the place where he had tortured himself.

A pair of hands held his head tightly, making him unable to move. The man stood behind him and whispered in his ear, so soft yet tearing the wound in his heart deeper.

“I love you, Chloe Isabel.”

Then Chloe remembered everything, clearly and sequentially every event that happened. He didn't go into a coma because of an accident.

‘Confuser!’

The sound of the whirling waves hitting the rocks at the end of the cliff seemed to call out to him, deafening.

Chloe can't stand this anymore. Everything happened so suddenly, he was unable to control his emotions.

Without him noticing, his feet were already on the edge of the cliff. He lifted his leg, one step.

Then he fell from a height. Strange, his heart was calm. There was no doubt or fear as he took that step.

Chloe just wants to fall asleep and never wake up again. He did not want to feel this pain anymore. He closed his eyes as he slammed into the water below, enveloping his body.

Goodbye to my old life.

Goodbye, Chloe Isabel.
