Vampire'S Secret Baby
|111|. The Man Who Feel Pain Is Strangled

The rose was so stinging. Egbert's entire body involuntarily shivered, as he felt the fingers of the woman dancing mischievously along his collarbone. His touch was so smooth, instead of lighting a fire within him. It was more like a dangerous alarm, which reminded her of the night where her beautiful tapered hand went tightly to her neck.

"My prince.." Emma stroked Egbert's neck and put her head to sleep spoiled on top of her hard chest.

"I miss making love to you"

Egbert's fingers dug deep into the sheets and squeezed them deep.

"Wake up and serve me as before"

A pair of Egbert's eyes finally fell wide open. It lights up red with an indescribable frost. He almost lost his mind, when he felt Emma's hand grab his neck with a soft, deadly caress. It entangles him in the shadows of the past and...

"Ukhs.." Egbert's reflexes held her neck and brushed off Emma's hand.

Emma was shocked. He had no idea when Egbert woke up, "Darling, what's wrong with you?"

Egbert's facial muscles hardened. He wanted to suppress all his reactions that could be his real weak point in front of Emma. But his subconscious drive is stronger. It made him so helpless against it. Enraged and out of control, she grabbed Emma's waist that was almost paper-thin and without thinking twice. He threw it on the floor.

Bruk!

Emma was thrown so pathetically from the bed to the floor. His body slammed hard enough and he could feel some of his bones that seemed to be broken, "Aakh.." Some time when his head felt dizzy, his eyes closed poignant slowly shed tears. His mouth was open, hissing in pain.

Damnit damnit!

How dare he throw me out of bed.

Well, my body..

Next to Emma who was crying out in pain and swearing angrily Egbert in her heart.

Egbert, who was still in a state of chaos, went down from the bed and ran away from his room. He ran from the silent passageway while holding his throbbing chest in pain. His breath sounded heavy and he felt like something was wrapped around his neck. It made me feel like I was suffocating near death.

His footsteps running down the stairs, looked very chaotic and careless. As if a slight mistake, he would fall and roll down pitifully. Luckily, Egbert stepped on the ground floor safely.

Egbert immediately ran towards Annette's room and knocked her hard.

"Yourself.." That suffocating feeling is becoming.

Tok.dok..

"Yourself.."

"An-nette"

Tokks.tok..

"Huk, b-open the door"

Annette who was being lulled in a dream, inevitably woke up because of that little commotion. Frowning, his eyelids slowly opened. The sound of knocking on the door was heard increasingly clearly breaking the silence. The knock was originally quite loud, but it slowly became weak as someone knocking on it started to run out of steam.

Tok.dok..

"Who?" Annette let out a distinctive hoarse voice just waking up, asking.

But only the knock from the door answered.

Tok.dok...

Upset that her sleep was disturbed, Annette took off the blanket and went out of bed. Going to press the light switch, his dark room became light.

Annette walked up to the door with her long, messy brown hair. Opening the door, Annette's sleepy eyes shriveled as she found Egbert standing in front with his black sleeping robe exposed at the top. It made Annette able to clearly see the charming plots on Egbert's chest that were quite eye-catching.

"What are you doing night-night to—"

Uncompleted Annette spoke, Egbert's body falling down smashing into his thin body. Before falling down, Annette quickly held the door to stand while holding Egbert's weight, "Egbert, get up!"

"Yourself.."

Annette's pushing movements, stopped when she heard a suffocating sound from Egbert's mouth. In that instant he immediately caught the peculiarity of the man.

"Egbert, what's wrong with you?"

"Yes.." Egbert sounded troubled to breathe. His open mouth again made a sound like he was being choked.

Annette immediately pulled Egbert inside and closed the door. Then he dragged his heavy steps closer to the bed and laid Egbert there. To her surprise, Annette found Egbert's temple covered in cold sweat. Her normally charming handsome face in her cold pale white skin, it looked flushed withstanding pain.

Annette asked anxiously, "Egbert, tell me what the hell you are?"

Egbert's eyes glanced at the weak Annette. His throat was very painful. Obviously, no one is strangling him. But the shadows of the past came as real, bringing that suffering back to him.

"S-it hurts.."

"My throat hurts.." His frown, very weak.

"S-ill? Your throat hurts. Why does it hurt?" Annette looks dazed. He had never found Egbert in such a chaotic and miserable state like this. He always looks strong and arrogant. But like this, it really is something new.

"Yourself.." Egbert held his neck and his eyes looked watery in pain, "Checkle.my neck was strangled.."

"Squealing? Your neck's in a giggle? Who's strangling you?"

"Hukk" Egbert held his neck. That suffocating feeling is getting worse. Her eyes were glaring upwards, spontaneously making Annette panic.

"No Egbert..." Annette directly pulled Egbert's hand away from her neck. Then he gently stroked the neck and his voice sounded quivering as he said, "No, no one is suffocating you. Look, your neck is fine.." Annette could see no red marks all over Egbert's neck, indicating that no hand had just strangled her.

But why would Egbert react like that?

"Yourself.."

"Hey, Egbert see me, eum?" Annette cupped both sides of Egbert's cold cheeks with her hands, "No one's strangling you, now you're fine with me.." Annette's black eyeballs were shaking, it was staring deeply into the bottom of Egbert's eyes which was like losing his sanity.

"Yourself.."

Instead of being calm, Egbert still let out his voice that was like he was being strangled. That sounds sad and full of helplessness. Annette didn't know what to make of her. Until the end...

Hesitating Annette landed her lips against Egbert's mouth and gave the man her most tender kiss. Annette closed her eyes for a moment, as sheathed Egbert's lips in a slow and gentle kiss. It was not dusty, but the kiss for the sake of the kiss was intertwined in great caution. It was as if Annette wanted to calm Egbert down through her deep soft kiss.

Not long after, Annette pulled away her lips, stopped kissing. Opening his eyes slowly, he glanced at Egbert who was no longer in such pain. His condition looks a bit better. His face was no longer flushed, it looked back to normal with its pale white sticking out.

"Finally, you've calmed down now.." Annette's eyes widened with her shady smile.

It reconciles and reassures.

There was no longer any shadow of the past that nearly strangled Egbert to death. Her brain and mind, were only filled with traces of pure Annette's gentle kiss and her meaningful shady smile.

Egbert's mind was still a bit empty after his mess earlier. His mouth did not say a word. After gazing at Annette for a long time, he went to bed his head in the recess of Annette's neck. The sweet aroma of vanilla milk from Annette's delicate skin, came gushing into her nose. Makes her feel sleepy and asleep.

Annette breathed a sigh of relief. Although he still did not fully understand what happened, but now he could calmly see Egbert who was now asleep.

"What exactly happened?"

"Did he have nightmares and sleepwalk?"

Annette lowered her gaze downwards, staring at the innocent sleeping face of Egbert. Egbert seemed to droop so comfortably above his collarbone. He could feel Egbert's breath flowing so quietly and his chest moving up and down as his breath stabilized.

Annette's gaze just softened and her hand rubbed Egbert's head hair finely, "Haa, you're really freaking me out tonight"
