Part 3
The sound of birds chirping woke a girl who was sleeping with a blanket covering her whole body. Slowly the girl's eyelids opened and then squinted her eyes as the sunlight was very dazzling. Alissya stared at the ceiling trying to collect her soul before deciding to get off the bed to clean herself. Because today the girl has a lot of work that she must finish.
"Cheer up Alissya, you can do it!"Alissya encouraged herself then got off the bed and headed to the bathroom.
Not long after, Alissya had finished cleaning herself then put on her clothes and tied up her long hair. The girl walked out of her room to meet her mother.
"Morning mom,"said Alissya to her mother.
Charlotte who saw her daughter's arrival smiled and told the girl to enjoy her breakfast. Alissya has to eat breakfast alone, because right now Charlotte has to go to another village to deliver the various potions she has concocted. Even though they are vampires, Charlotte has the ability to make various medicinal potions for various diseases.
"What are your plans today honey?"Charlotte asked while putting the potions into the bag.
"I'm going to pick the crops after that I'm going to look for some herbs for mommy,"Alissya said without taking her eyes off the food in front of her.
"Okay, be careful. Mommy has to go to the next village first to deliver this potion,"said Charlotte and was answered with a nod by Alissya. At that time Charlotte walked out leaving Alissya alone in the house.
Alissya quickly finished her breakfast and cleaned up all the dirty dishes on the table. After all was done, the girl walked towards the back of her house to start her work.
As planned, Alissya will pick vegetables that are ready to be sold.
The scorching sun did not break the girl's spirit in the least. Just looking at the harvest made the girl very happy.
"I can't wait to take him to Uncle Jacob,"said the girl smiling happily.
"I better have to finish this quickly or mommy will come first before I look for the herbs,"muttered Alissya. Finally Alissya kept darting to and fro in order to finish her work in an instant. Until all the vegetables have been neatly arranged in a basket and immediately put into a special room for storing all of their gardening equipment.
"Finished!"
Alissya smiled happily when she saw that all her work had been completed on time, so she could immediately head to the forest to look for herbs. At that moment Alissya took her black robe and dashed into the forest.
For some reason, at this time Alissya felt a slightly tense forest atmosphere. She didn't usually feel that way, even though she was used to walking through the forest.
"Why do I feel if someone is watching me?"Alissya muttered looking around.
Alissya quickly picked all the plants she needed to get out of the forest. At this time, Alissya really felt something bad was stalking her.
"Okay, this is enough,"Alissya said then stood up from her place. But when she turned around, suddenly a big wolf stood in front of her. Alissya rolled her eyes and accidentally dropped the basket she was carrying.
The girl's body shook violently. This was the first time she had seen a wolf three times his height. Alissya slowly stepped back when she felt the wolf start to approach her.
"Please don't hurt me,"said Alissya in a trembling voice.
Slowly a tear started to fall from the corner of the girl's eye. At this time Alissya was really scared. She didn't know what to do because she didn't understand how to fight at all, let alone having to fight the huge creature in front of her. Of course she would lose.Ggerrr... The wolf's growl made Alissya even more scared. At that time Alissya immediately shot quickly away from the wolf. However, the wolf easily caught up with Alissya and clawed at the girl's back until she fell to the ground.
"Ah!"Alissya screamed when she felt pain in her back.
Alissya moaned in pain but the girl kept trying to get away from the wolf. Even the girl did not pay attention to her leg which had also been injured by being hit by a tree branch.
Until finally Alissya was cornered on the edge of a cliff behind her. The girl's body shook even more when she saw no way out. At that moment Alissya turned her body to look at the wolf in front of her.
The girl's body fell, kneeling with energy that has been drained out. He couldn't even endure the pain in his body anymore.
"Huhuu please don't hurt me,"Alissya's voice was weak.
Ggrrr...
Alissya looked back at the wolf in front of her when she heard the growling of the animal which was getting louder and louder.
'Is my life going to end like this Moon Goddess?'Alissa thought.
"I'd rather die jumping down there than die in your hands,"Alissya whispered, starting to lose her strength due to the wound given by the wolf. At that time Alissya's body immediately fell into a very deep abyss.
'Forgive Alissya mommy,'thought Alissya before losing her consciousness.
Meanwhile, on the other hand, Charlotte had just arrived at her house and looked confused when she didn't see Alissya. The sun was almost setting but she never saw her daughter coming. Charlotte was starting to get restless, the woman's mind started to wander thinking about the state of her daughter out there.
"Why hasn't Alissya come yet?"Charlotte softly held her chest restlessly.
A few days later, Alissya blinked when she felt a hand on her body. When his consciousness gathered, she rounded when she saw a girl standing in front of her and trying to take off her clothes.
"Who are you? Ah!"said Alissya when she felt pain all over her body.
"Hey, don't move too much, or your wound will get wors,"said the girl with a worried face.
Alissya, who heard that, couldn't help but follow the girl's words. Right now she was really in so much pain, even to move her hand a little it felt like her whole bone was being crushed.
"Finally you've come to your senses. Let me treat your wounds so you just stay quiet,"Alissya who heard that could only nod her head.
"Hmm, how long have I been here Miss and who are you? Are you the one who helped me?"Asked Alissya in a weak voice.
"My name is Thezza and yes, I helped you. How could you get hurt like this? Even you were unconscious for almost a week."
Thezza asked making Alissya's eyes widen. Alissya did not expect that she would be unconscious for that long.
She thought back trying to remember the events she had experienced and almost cost her life if Thezza didn't save herself.
"Ah yes, what's your name?"ask Thezza.
"My name is Alissya Miss,"said Alissya nervously. This was the first time Alissya had spoken to a girl who was probably the same age as her. Even Alissya could see that the girl was not an ordinary person. Judging from the extravagant clothes the girl was wearing, it was like a royal attire.
"Okay Alissya you wait here first, I will call a healer for you,"Thezza said then got up from her seat and bolted out of the room.
Alissa took a deep breath. Tears slowly rolled down the girl's face again. Her body was really sick and she added remembering the incident that she had experienced made her even more scared. But she was very grateful to Thezza for saving herself. She promised to return the girl's kindness.Not long after, the bedroom door opened showing Thezza and the others entering the room. Alissya could see one of the healers approaching her and checking on her condition.
Alissya winced when she felt the healer's hand touch her body. It really hurt so much that tears kept streaming down her face. Thezza, who saw Alissya in pain, also winced.
"Does it hurt a lot?"Thezza asked and Alissya only nodded.
"I'm sorry miss, may I turn your body? Please bear the pain for a moment,"said the healer, making Alissya just nod in understanding.
Alissya tried her best to endure the pain in her body and started to move sideways. At that moment Thezza and the healers widened their eyes when they saw the terrible claw wounds on Alissya's body, almost along the girl's back.
"Your injuries are very serious and must be treated immediately. Judging from this wound, did the werewolf do it?"Alissya who heard that immediately nodded her head.
"Damn werewolf! How dare he hurt a girl!"Thezza growled with anger.
"The claws that the werewolf gave you are filled with poison and have almost spread all over your body. Moreover, you have several wounds on your body. You must be in excruciating pain,"said the healer making Thezza look sadly at Alissya.
"Please give me any medicine to heal Mr. Gilbert's wound,"said Thezza with a sad face.
"Of course Princess, I will definitely try to heal the wounds on her body,"Thezza who heard that smiled happily.
"For a while maybe you should sleep on your side before the wound on your back dries miss. If not, it will delay the healing process," he continued to make Alissya sigh softly.
"Thank you sir, sorry for bothering you,"Alissa said sadly.
The healer got up from his seat and stepped outside to make a potion to treat the wounds on Alissya's body.
"Hmm if I may know, where am I Miss?"Ask Alissya politely.
"You are in my house, in the palace of the vampire kingdom,"Thezza said suddenly making Alissya's eyes widen. No wonder the healer had called Thezza as Princess, it turned out she was in the palace.
"Forgive me for not recognizing you, Princess,"said Alissya guiltily making Thezza chuckle softly.
"Hey it doesn't matter, after all I've only been living in this kingdom a few days after my father's coronation, so naturally no one would recognize me,"said Thezza while helping Alissya to lean on the head of the bed.
Alissya winced again when she felt pain all over her body. This wound really made her unable to move freely.
"Tell me, exactly what happened to you?"Thezza asked with a curious face. Alissya, who saw this, finally decided to tell Thezza everything.
Thezza covered her mouth in surprise when she heard Alissya's story. She didn't expect such a terrible thing to happen to an innocent girl like Alissya.
"How could you even think of jumping into the abyss?!"Thezza asked rolling her eyes. Alissya chuckled softly when she saw Thezza's funny face.
"I have no other choice, princess. I'd rather die at the bottom of the abyss than be torn to pieces by that beast,"said Alissya, smiling wryly at the thought.
Theza took a deep breath. Slowly the girl's hand stroked the back of Alissya's hand gently.
"Don't worry, you'll be safe here,"said Thezza smiling. Alissya, who originally lowered her head, immediately looked up in disbelief at Thezza's words. She did not expect to meet someone who is very kind hearted. Without realizing it, tears started to fall from the corner of the girl's eyes making Thezza frown in confusion.
"Hey why are you crying?"Theza asked confused.
Alissya shook her head,"this is the first time I have met someone who is very kind to me. Even before, no one was willing to talk to me,"Alissya whispered while wiping her tears.
Thezza was again surprised by Alissya's story. He did not expect that a girl as beautiful and gentle as Alissya had such a difficult life.
"How about you stay here and be my friend?"Thezza asked making Alissya's eyes widen.
"I'm sorry Princess, but I can't leave my mother alone at home,"Alissa said. But soon Alissya widened her eyes when she remembered something.
"Ah yes right! How is this?! Mommy must be really worried about me!"Thezza who heard that immediately fell silent.
"You live with your mother?"asked Thezza and was immediately answered with a nod by Alissya.
"Okay, you can tell me where you live and I will ask my bodyguard to tell your mother that you will be staying here for a while. You can't possibly go home like this right?"Thezza said smiling at Alissya. Alissya, who heard Thezza's words, agreed with the girl's words. She couldn't go home like this. Of course her mother must have been very worried.
"Thank you Princess, you have helped me a lot. I will definitely repay your kindness,"Alissya said with sincerity.
Theza smiled and nodded her head.
"Rest and don't move too much so that your wound heals quickly. Tomorrow morning I will come to your room again,"Thezza said then got up from her seat and stepped out into her room. Alissya stared at Thezza's back who started to disappear behind the door. Her eyes then turned to stare at the moon that was visible from the window of the room.
'Thank you for sending someone to help me Moon Goddess,'thought Alissa.
Evan stepped onto the balcony of his room. The man looked at the moon that was shining very brightly. Somehow an uneasy feeling rose in his mind. In fact, he felt his whole body weaken unusually.
“Damn why did I become so weak like this!”Evan growled and clenched his fists tightly.
Evan tried to draw out his powers, but he couldn't. His strength is weakening.
'This can't be allowed! I have to find out what happened to me!'Evan thought then dashed into the room towards his study.
Several bodyguards and servants lowered their heads with confused faces seeing their king who looked very hasty.
"What's wrong with Your Highness?"whispered one of the maids after Evan disappeared behind his office door.
"I don't know, maybe something happened,"said another maid.
Crystal who had just descended the stairs frowned when she heard the maids' whispers. She stepped closer to them to find out what had happened.
"What is this?"Crystal asked making them both surprised.
"Your Honour,"they said then bowed their heads when they saw Crystal's arrival.
"What are you talking about?"Crystal asked in a gentle voice and smiled at the maid in front of her.
"Forgive our impudence Your Majesty for talking about King in front of you,"said one of the maids making Crystal frown.
"Why are you talking about my son? Did something happen?"asked Crystal confused.
The two maids glanced at each other when they heard Crystal's words. They didn't expect that Crystal's reaction looked normal to them.
"Lord looks rushed into the room His Majesty. We do not know what has happened,"clearly the maid made Crystal immediately stare at the door of Evan's study.
"Okay, you can get back to work. Remember not to let my son hear you talk about himself, you know he doesn't like other people talking about himself so he neglects your duties,"she said.
"Our apologies, Your Majesty,"said the two maids looking down in fear.
Crystal who saw that smiled and walked towards her son's study to see the man's condition.
knock knock..
Crystal knocked on Evan's door, but he didn't hear a response from inside. Finally Crystal decided to go inside without waiting for orders from her son. After all, she entered her own son's room, of course no one could stop her.
When Crystal stepped into the room, how shocked she was when she saw what was happening in front of her.
"Evans!"
