WHEN DARKNESS COMES
Changes in Alberto's attitude

Since the kitchen incident a few days ago, Daniah has not seen Alberto again. And that made Daniah wonder.

Daniah followed his routine as usual. He cleaned every corner of the castle, up to Alberto's room on the top floor.

Daniah stared at every corner of Alberto's room that looked neat and elegant. Like the room in general, there is a television, wardrobe, bathroom, on the left there is a bookshelf, as well as a row of books neatly arranged.

Finished cleaning Alberto's room, Daniah got out of there and went back to the bottom floor to resume the other work.

When Daniah came out, Alberto came out of hiding. The handsome and pale-faced man smirked revealing both of his pointy fangs.

The day rolled so fast that Daniah did not feel that working in the castle had been a week, but until now he had never met with Alberto again.

The night is approaching, Daniah is in the kitchen, making dinner for herself.

Solitude, silence and horror in the castle seems to have become commonplace for Daniah. The girl was making a meat steak while humming.

"Hemm, it's fragrant. My stomach is getting hungry" muttered Dania while rubbing her stomach, moving the cooked steak onto the plate.

"Where's the part for me?" The baritone's voice surprised Daniah.

Daniah turned to Alberto who was standing next to her, not knowing when the man was standing there.

"You surprised me, sir!" said Daniah clucked because she was very surprised.

Then he lifted the plate containing the steak and thrust it to Alberto. "Eat it, I can make it again."

Alberto smiled and accepted the plate happily.

"I want to apologize to you, because I just disappeared for a few days. I'm busy with my work." Somehow he felt he had to explain everything to Daniah. He also did not want the girl to suspect that she was a vampire.

"Unemployment?" cut Alberto down and laugh softly.

"I'm sorry" Daniah replied because Alberto's guess was correct.

"I have a company in the City" explained Alberto, Daniah nodded her head in understanding.

"Would you eat together?" bargain Alberto while lifting his plate containing the steak.

Daniah smiled wryly with a puzzled look on her face. Wasn't the man previously very cold to him? And why does it now look so warm and smiley?

"It seems like eating together sounds interesting, but don't you mind?" answer Daniah.

"Of course I don't mind, come here." Alberto pulls one of Daniah's hands, they walk towards the dining room.

Daniah frowned when her hand was held by Alberto.

"His hand feels very cold" Daniah said.

Daniah and Alberto were already in the dining room, they were sitting close together. He became overthinking because Alberto's attitude changed drastically.

Daniah shook his head slowly, dispelling all his bad thoughts.

"I'm not going to hurt you" Alberto said as if he knew what Daniah was thinking.

"Can you read my mind?" ask Daniah.

"So right guess me if you think badly of me?" Alberto asked another question, without answering Daniah's words.

"Ah, sorry, not like that," Daniah replied while looking at Alberto's face that looks very handsome if seen at close range like this.

"My face." Daniah felt his chest pounding unbecoming.
