Chapter 745 - Falling(🔁 Repeated Chapter)
Once Iryz returned upstairs, just as she had expected, Zeres had yet to move from the exact same spot that she had seen him in when she had left earlier on. He put the book that he had been poring over in his hand down into his lap again and looked at her upon sensing her presence entering into the room.
"What pose do you want from me this time?" he asked, his voice flat and uninterested. He presumed that she must have come up to get him to pose for her drawings.
Iryz smiled awkwardly at first, feeling a little embarrassed at having to disturb him. But her expression quickly brightened up when she justified her actions with her earlier hard work and approached her desk to grab her sketch pad.
"It's okay, you don't need to move from where you are sitting." She quickly told him as Zeres began to move. "I just need to draw you in a different angle and in a sitting position as well. You can continue looking through the book."
She pulled out her chair and sat down at a good distance by his side and without wasting a moment longer, Iryz began to draw him. No matter how excited she was right now, Iryz could not help but feel a little bad deep down. More so now, when she was seeing him not stopping at all from going through the book.
However, Iryz was confident that they were going to find the book. They just needed to be more patient in going through the tonnes of books that were here in this bookstore. And this was why she was able to shrug off the little guilt and determinedly continued on with her plan. She knew that once they found the book, she might never see this angel of a man again.
After some time quietly working on her drawing, the piece of art was done. A big smile was plastered on her face as she marvelled at her own artwork. "Ahh! So beautiful! Perfect!" she showered her own work praises while Zeres looked at her like he just could not figure out what she was so happy about. Iryz noticed his gaze on her and turned to look at him.
"Do you want to see it? Look!" she excitedly turned the artwork towards him, hoping that he would be somewhat impressed with her work.
Zeres lazily tilted his head as his gaze fell on it. His non reaction was quite expected and Iryz did not take his response to heart and continued being happy all on her own. It was fine if she was impressed with it!
"Once this is coloured in, it will look even more beautiful!" Iryz stood and swirled around so happily as she lifted the sketch pad high up into the air. "I've never drawn something so beautiful before! Thanks to you!" she faced him flashed him a very sweet smile.
When Zeres remained silent, only looking at her without any ripple of emotions on his handsome face, Iryz nodded to herself and walked towards her desk and placed the sketch pad there with much satisfaction. Then she left the room, telling Zeres that she had forgotten to take something downstairs earlier.
She returned with a large mug of coffee and a small plate of cookies in her hands.
"You must be hungry. I have not seen you eat anything since you started looking through the books." She said amicably and placed the tray before him. Then she picked up the mug of coffee she made and gave it to him. "Let me know if it's too sweet for you. I'll go make another one."
It took him a short while of blinking at her and the mug of coffee before accepting her offer. "Thank you, but you don't need to bother about me."
"Here, taste this too." Iryz offered him the cookies as if she had not heard what he had just said at all. "This is my way of thanking you for modelling for me, even though you hate it." she added, grinning at him.
Zeres looked down and picked up a cookie before taking a bite. He knew she would continue hounding him so might as well give in and try one.
"How's is it?" she asked expectantly, eyes bright and lively.
"Not bad."
She nodded, seemed relieved with his answer. Then she took her own mug and walked over to her desk.
"It's time for you to sleep." He told her when he saw her start picking up a book on the floor.
"I'll clock in for over time tonight." She replied with a wink and pointed to her own mug and as usual, the two of them continued with their search until Iryz fell asleep on her desk again when she no longer could keep her eyes open.
When Zeres finished all the books that were stacked up next to him, he stood, planning to go downstairs to pick another stack of books he will check next. He halted at the sight of the girl sleeping, her face buried in the pages of the open book.
Sighing softly, he gathered her and tucked her back into her bed. Then he stood there, staring at her peaceful face. His hand moved and when he placed it over her head, he uttered a spell and his palm glowed.
Suddenly, her innocent eyes, those sweet smile… they flashed in his head and Zeres abruptly clench his fists tight.
The magic disappeared and his hand trembled. He tugged at his hair hard and left her room in haste, as if running away for his life. What was he doing?
Zeres could not believe what he was just about to do. He was about to attempt in reading her mind. How could he… how could he do that?!
His back hit a shelve and he slid down on the floor. His hands were still trembling as he tugged on his hair. What was happening to him? He was starting to feel scared now… of himself. Of what he would actually do next. He felt like… he was falling… falling into a vortex of darkness.
"Please…" he whispered through his gritted teeth. "Someone… save me…"

Chapter 746 - Relief
Iryz stiffened at the sight of him, slumped on the floor. She was jolted awake at the sound of what seemed like books falling onto the floor. When she rose, she saw that Zeres was gone and her room's door was wide opened. She rushed downstairs, afraid that something bad was going on just to find this. Him. Alone. And slumped over as though a disaster had struck him.
She then saw how he suddenly stiffened when he sensed her presence, but she could not make herself turn away anymore. Not after seeing him like this. Not after hearing him say out those words… The sound of if coming out so broken and forlorn just triggered a surge of sympathy from her heart. This beautiful man was so lonely and shattered.
Her feet moved and approached him with measured steps. Before she could reach him, his deep voice echoed inside the quiet and dim bookstore.
"I'm fine. Go back to sleep." He said, removing his hands from his hair now and acting like nothing had happened at all. But Iryz did not stop and when she reached him, she squatted down.
He whipped his head towards her and snarled. "I said go back upstairs, damn it!" there was venom and threat in his voice and Iryz could not help but blink and flinch back a little.
But the next thing she did was…
She lunged forward and hugged him.
Zeres' eyes widened in shock and his entire body stilled. It was obvious what she did was the last thing he expected her to do at all.
"It's okay," her quiet voice echoed out in the dark as her slender arms wrapped gently around him. Then she started caressing his back gently.
Her actions only made Zeres feel even guiltier. A bitter smile curved on his face as he shut his eyes tightly closed. 'If you knew what I was about to do to you… you wouldn't be here, hugging me right now. No, you wouldn't even want to look at me anymore.' he told her in his mind. He wanted to push her away. He did not deserve her comfort.
But he could not make himself touch her to peel her off him. "Let go now, Iryz." He said and her hand on his back paused in its movements.
"But –"
"No buts. Just listen to me."
"You're not okay –"
Before she could finish whatever that she had wanted to say, she became limp and fell onto him because Zeres had put her to sleep with his spell without warning.
"I'm sorry," he uttered then he used his magic to teleport them both back into her room. He did not touch her again and just used his magic to tuck her back into her bed again.
After that, Zeres closed her window and locked her door. Then he left the house to go and distract himself. He wanted to go see Alicia, thinking that if he sees her and her spirit's condition still did not get worse, he might feel better. To him, nothing would make him feel more at ease than that.
It was around 2AM when Zeres arrived at Ezekiel's building. He did not enter Kiel's suite, knowing that Alicia would not like it if he appeared there out of nowhere. She might think that he wanted to expose her to Kiel. However, a fight with Alicia was the last thing he wanted to have it happen right now. So he deliberately advertised his presence upon materializing at the rooftop. He knew Alicia will feel his presence once he did that.
A while later, Zeres felt her coming and he uttered the spell.
"Did something happen?" she asked immediately but Zeres did not answer as he was busy breathing out in relief. Nothing changed so far since the last time he saw her. It was only a few days but the fact that she did not became even more transparent was enough to make him breathe with ease.
That last time when he noticed that she was fading had scared him to his core and that was why he was unable to relax at all, fearing that she would continue fading as the days went by. Gladly, nothing had seemed to change so far even after a few days.
"Zeres? Are you listening to me? What happened?" she was just a step away from him now.
"Nothing happened." He finally replied, taking a step back. "I just came to see if you're good."
She blinked. "Huh? What do you even… I don't think so. There's definitely a reason why you're suddenly here –"
"I'm going back now, Alicia." He said as turned around.
"Huh? Wait! Zer…"
And before Alicia could even find out what it was that he had come here for, he was already gone. Alicia could only bite her lip and then take in a deep frustrated sigh. However, a flash of worry crossed her eyes as she stared at the space where he disappeared from.
…
Zeres did not return to the bookstore immediately. He materialized a few blocks away from the bookstore because he wanted to take a walk. It was already 3AM and the streets were empty.
Just as he expected, he felt a little better after seeing Alicia. He felt like he was allowed to take a short breather now as it seems he still have time left on his hands. That was such a great relief to him as of right now, he felt the chaos in his mind and soul settled a little. It would be fine for him to go back now. That girl would be safe from him at least for now.
But as he reached the old house, his relaxed expression quickly dimmed at the sight of the bookstore's door. It was left slightly opened. Zeres had locked that same door before he left!
He immediately disappeared and materialized inside Iryz' room, only to find out her bed was empty.
"Iryz?!" he called out and then he rushed downstairs. "Iryz!" He searched the house as fast as he could, but…
She was gone.
______________
Chapter 747 - Scent
Some time ago…
Since the moment Zeres left, Iryz began to moan in her sleep. She started having a nightmare the instant Zeres had put her to sleep with his spell.
For a long while, she continued tossing and turning about on her bed, moaning out some gibberish and sweating hard. After a few minutes of what seemed like an extreme and horrible nightmare, something like reddish smoke appeared all over her, enveloping her body. Then her nightmare somehow was stopped.
She then suddenly rose from her bed as if being jolted awake. Her eyes were opened, but they were fixed on a single spot, right in front of her. She climbed off the bed and started walking decisively, leaving her room and headed to a particular destination. Her eyeballs never moving from left to right at all and yet her feet did not stumble even as she walked down the stairs.
When she was out of the main door, Iryz halted for a while before her feet moved again, seemingly knowing where it should be taking her to. She walked straight ahead of the empty street as though she was following something or someone that was calling out for her.
Time ticked by and her small back could no longer be seen from the bookstore's main door. Zeres arrived after a few more minutes and searched for her quickly inside the house.
"Iryz?!" his voice echoed once again as he rushed outside the house and looked around, calling out to see if perhaps she was around.
He gritted his teeth as worry and anger flashed across his silver orbs. He could not help but think that someone might have taken her away and his blood boiled within his veins just by the thought of it. No! Over his dead body! That girl was his only hope in saving Alicia right now! She was the only lead he has in obtaining the spell to resurrecting Alicia! He would kill anyone who tries to take her away!
Not caring if someone sees him, Zeres uttered a spell to trace her scent. Unlike vampires who could trace someone's scent by smelling them, Zeres could trace someone just by using his eyes because he had the unique ability of being able to see someone's scent.
As soon as magic glowed in his eyes, he began to see remnants of something red lingering in the air. This meant that it had not been long since Iryz was gone!
Without wasting a second longer, Zeres followed the trail of the reddish thin wisp of smoke. He knew that this was definitely from Iryz. He moved as fast as he could, and to his relief, he managed to catch up to the girl faster than he had expected.
He saw her walking along the sidewalk, and he gritted his teeth in anger as he approached her, intending to give her a scolding for simply walking off without informing him or others about it. But he stopped three steps away from her at the realization that the way she walked was a little strange. It seemed as though she was not walking with consciousness.
Zeres narrowed his eyes. Suspicion overpowered the anger that rose within him, so he decided to follow after her in silence and to wait and see what she was up to. He was curious as to where she was headed at these wee hours of the morning.
Now he thought that she she was confirming his suspicion right now, that she really was not a mere human. Otherwise, why would she be here, walking all alone along an empty street at 3 in the morning? It was not just that, but Zeres was also intrigued about that reddish glow she was exuding all around her body. This was not the usual scent he had associated with her. Her scent was usually transparent and bluish in colour.
And the strangest thing was that he just could not figure out what kind of spell was it that made this reddish wisp of smoke suddenly appear around her. Was this a spell he knows nothing about? But that was impossible. How could there be a spell existing in this world that he did not know?
His brows furrowed deeper, and he slowed down his pace, letting himself fall a few more steps behind her. He wanted to know what this girl was hiding from him. Whatever she is, he will be sure to find out tonight if that was the last thing he did.
Just as he thought about that, she crossed the road. Zeres' eyes widened as he saw a car fast approaching. He was about to jump forward to pull her back, but he restrained himself, thinking that if there was a possibility that she was a witch, she would definitely vanish from the spot to avoid getting hit.
But she did not do that. The car's tire screeched and at the very last millisecond, Zeres teleported and grabbed onto her. He materialized a bit farther from the scene to create an illusion that the driver had just seen a ghost passing across the street.
"Ze-Zeres?" her voice echoed out in a daze as Zeres looked back if the car had stopped. It did not, which was a relief.
He looked down at the little girl who was still lying in his arms and only saw utter confusion and questions in her eyes.
"What… is going on?" she looked around and her large eyes widened even more the moment she realized where they were. "Wait… am I dreaming?" It seemed as though she did not know that she had walked herself out this far from her home.
Zeres was speechless for a moment as he stared at her, scrutinizing her as though trying to decide if she was acting or it was real.
"You had sleep-walked and ended up here." he eventually said as way of explanation, and she gasped at him in shock?
"What?! R-really? All the way here? You're kidding right?!" though she said that, she could see from his face that he was not joking with her.
He put her down and when she winced in pain, they both looked at her feet. "Oh, I cut my feet." She muttered as she lifted her left feet and saw a small cut on her big toe.
Zeres' brows knitted.. It seemed that he was too busy being suspicious of her that he did not notice she had been walking the streets barefooted the whole time.
__________
Chapter 748 - Routine
"That's the proof of your sleep walking." He said blandly and he scooped her back into his arms, feeling bad that he did not just almost let the girl get hit by a car but also in being careless and allowing her foot to ger hurt as well.
Because some early birds started appearing, Zeres could not heal her there and then with his magic in the public so he could only carry her back to the bookstore to get her patched up.
"Are you really sure I sleep-walked all the way here?" she asked him as they headed back. "You didn't accidentally cast a spell on me or something, did you?" she narrowed her eyes and playfully asked him.
"Do I look like someone who would cast a spell accidentally on just anyone?" Zeres replied in a flat voice, not meeting her gaze and was just looking ahead.
Iryz creased her brows. "Well, I don't think I ever sleep-walked before. So, this happening is just a bit too arbitrary for me. In fact, it is unbelievable!"
"It's not that unbelievable. Just because you never sleep-walked before doesn't mean that you will never sleep-walk in your entire life." Zeres reasoned out with her.
"Well… you're right about that, I guess. I think I also had a horrible nightmare… but I can't quite remember the gist of it right now." She scratched the back of her head and furrowed her brows, trying to recall what the nightmare was about.
Zeres' jaws worked. Now he knew that this was his fault. Humans who were forcefully put to sleep by a spell will always have a horrible nightmare but will not remember it. This meant that he was in the wrong and she was actually a human? But how about the reddish thing that was lingering around her? What was that then?
Once they were back at the bookstore, Zeres wordlessly put her down on the chair and grabbed her ankle. His palm glowed and he placed it over her feet for a few seconds before releasing it.
"Are you okay now?" she asked him while he was tending to her wounds and Zeres stilled for a moment. Why was she asking him that? He should be the one asking her!
"You're the one who's not okay right now." He checked that her wound was healed and rose to his feet. "Rest now. It's still too early." He added and then he nonchalantly returned to his spot and picked up a new book to browse through.
He felt her staring at him again, but he ignored her, until he felt her climbed on her bed and fell asleep. Zeres shut his eyes as soon as he felt that her breathing had evened out, and he knew that she was asleep. Then he used his magic again to see if the reddish glow was still there. It was gone.
A deep frown appeared on his handsome face. What was going on? He was certain that this was not a simple incident of sleep walking. She seemed completely oblivious to this and the scene where she nearly got hit kept flashing across his mind. If he was not there at that time, this girl might have been… could it be that whoever casted the reddish smoke on her wanted to kill her?
The thought made Zeres clench his fists so hard. Because that was the most logical explanation he could think about right now. Someone was trying to kill this girl. But why?! Was it to stop him from finding an answer to save Alicia? But who would dare get in his way like this? Why would they even want to stop him? How did they even know about his plan in the first place? Or was there a different reason why someone wants this girl's life? But if that was the case, why the attempt on taking her life only now?
…
It had been days, about two weeks now since Alicia stuck herself to Ezekiel like she had become his shadow. But until now, Alicia had yet to notice anything amiss. Ezekiel did not show anything suspicious at all which was such a relief to her.
However, for some reason, Alicia was starting to feel like her job had been too eerily easy. The man she was watching over was Ezekiel of all creatures but for goodness' sake, it had been about two weeks of watching him 24/7 and she had not once found any information that was valuable?!
It started to bother her that things were just going on too smoothly to be true. He had been dealing mostly with the matter of the humans and some other minor problems related to the rogue vampires disguising as mafias. Aside from that, nothing interesting happened at all. The most surprising thing was that Ezekiel's routine never changed at all in that two weeks she had been shadowing him! The routine she saw that first night was exactly the same until now that she was starting to think this Ezekiel was actually a robot!
She had literally memorized everything that he does even the exact amount of time he spent on getting one task done. Alicia could not even help but think that this man's life might be more boring than hers as a mere spirit right now. And the most surprising thing was the fact that he never once looked bored at all!
At some point, Alicia stopped thinking about this, knowing that she will only give herself a headache trying to figure this puzzle of a person out. And now, here she was again, turning her back on the wall while he gets dressed in those tailored black suits of his.
When she heard the sound of the door opening, Alicia turned around. That was the sign that he was done changing.
But she stiffened and her eyes widened at the sight that welcome her eyes. "H-how come you're still naked?!" she blurted out, her voice coming out in a screech.
_____________
Chapter 749 - Perfect And Naked
Due to the shock of spying on Ezekiel's completely naked back – which was seriously drool-worthy, by the way – Alicia bolted out of the room, and right through the walls.
If she was not a spirit, her face might have already been flaming as red as a freshly cooked lobster that was taken right out of the pot, right about now. In the last two weeks of dogging after his heels, she had somewhat already gotten used to seeing him half naked when he got out of the shower.
Initially, she had responded by running off to another part of the house or resorting to quickly turning around to avoid looking at him directly. But after few times of doing that, she had gotten a little numb to the unintentional flashing. No, she still found herself actually getting quite distracted whenever he parades his perfect upper body before her, but lately she was not feeling that ashamed anymore at the fact that she was seeing him half-naked without his knowledge.
This time, however, that almost x-rated scene had come as a completely shock to her. She had seen his... Ezekiel's perfect and naked butt! And she found herself extremely flustered. She did not know seeing a man's naked ass could actually cause her to bolt away like she had seen something that would kill her if she did not look or stay away as soon as possible!
But no, she remembered that this was not the first time she had accidentally seen a naked man. Then why was she this flustered now? Was it because it was Ezekiel that she had looked at and even his butt naked ass screams perfection?!
Alicia could only face palm, shaking her head over and over like a rattle. Now she was mad at herself for being this affected by just a look. Was it such a big deal that she had seen so much skin? She thought that this must not continue. She must learn to really build a very strong tolerance against this man. There was only two weeks left to the time limit and she would not let something as insignificant as his nakedness throw her off her main goal like this.
This was the time for her to persevere and not let anything disrupt her from her mission – even for a few seconds. There was no way she could accept the fact that all it took to get rid of her was Ezekiel's perfect and naked ass! Picturing that scene in her mind caused another small 'boom' to go off in her head again. No! She has got to focus and steel her resolve!
With renewed determination to stay and follow on his heels even if he ends up displaying his full naked body, Alicia entered the huge suite again. She had actually bolted away so fast that she had ended up all the way outside his place.
As Alicia scolded herself, she finally realized that there was someone else other than herself who had just entered Ezekiel's house.
Frowning, Alicia walked back inside the house, to where Ezekiel was. She wondered if this was finally the moment when something interesting might be happening. Maybe this someone was his underling who had come to report to him about something confidential since no one had ever come over, not even a woman, for the past two weeks that she had been spying on him.
It even made Alicia wonder if Ezekiel was interested in women at all or have any sexual desires. She had not seen him flirt nor kept any woman at his side even when he frequents the bars where he usually carries out his meetings with the mafias.
Just last night itself, Alicia had watched him completely ignore a beautiful lady who was hitting on him. He did not even spare the poor lady a single glance, causing Alicia to mutter to herself if maybe Ezekiel was an asexual or perhaps, he was not actually interested in women. Does he bat for the other team?
"Forgive me for being late, Your Highness." A woman's voice echoed behind him.
Alicia instantly halted and it was not only because she had never expected that the one to come was a woman, but also because of how erotic the voice was. Even she as a woman herself, could feel the attraction when she heard that slightly husky and alto voice spoke.
"You made yourself late on purpose because you wanted to be punished, didn't you?" Ezekiel's voice sent chills down Alicia's spine. Though his facial expression did not change the least, his voice was so cold and sharp.
The woman's breathless chuckle echoed next. "Oh yes, Your Highness. Punish me." The woman began begging. Alicia somehow did not doubt that what the woman asked for was not a joke.
Alicia could only stand by his bedroom's door. Her fists clenching now. Fury was rising within her, and she suddenly wanted to just bolt inside and punch Ezekiel's poker face. But she was quick to ask herself why would she even want to do that? Why on earth would she be even feeling this upsurge of anger?
She turned around, telling herself that she could not possibly watch him right now. Not only because it would be way too shameful and disrespectful to spy on such private matters, but also because she knew that nothing of great importance will happen anyway.
"I know you're hungry, Your Highness. My body and my blood is only here for your sole enjoyment. So, punish me now… devour my body and suck my blood." The woman's voice echoed out again, trembling with anticipation as she spoke and before Alicia could take a step forward. "Please do not worry. I won't be like those other girls who will naively try to bite a royalty back. I have very strong self-control and I am sated and not craving blood right now. I am only craving for your majestic d*ck right –"
"On the bed." Ezekiel cut her off. His voice remained neutral and flat, but Alicia found herself feeling the anger wash over her again. "On all fours." He added as though ordering a slave.
Alicia shut her eyes tightly and she finally turned around and left.
___________
Chapter 750 - What The Hell’s Wrong With These Males?!
Inside the room, Zeke stilled right behind the woman. His head facing over his shoulder and his eyes were trained at the closed door.
He looked as though he was trying to sense something in the silence. Then he looked back at the woman who was begging for him again, wiggling her ass impatiently.
Ezekiel ran his fingers that were covered with a pair of black gloves over the woman's spine. She moaned as if just that simple contact alone gave her an immense out of this world pleasure until Ezekiel's hand reached her neck.
His hand moved like a black snake and curled around her neck and in one swift and precise move. With one strong yank, she was pulled up from kneeling on her knees, her back now flushed against his powerful body. She closed her eyes, eyelids trembling in anticipation as her breath puffed out in shallow pants, waiting for him to kiss her nape as his gloved hand cupped her neck.
But it was not a searing kiss that came as she had expected, but his slightly curved, sharp fangs puncturing her skin, sinking into the vessel that carried her lifeblood.
The woman's eyes snapped opened wide in shock as she moaned, confusion tinging her words. "Your Highness…?? I thought we're going to –"
"I don't have time to play right now." he whispered coldly after drinking a small amount of blood from her. "Leave now. Your job is done here." His hands never touching anywhere else after leaving her neck.
He then climbed off the bed and headed back into the dressing room, leaving the vampire woman on the bed, high and dry, still naked and totally dumbfounded.
…
Alicia found herself travelling over to Little Flower Bookstore. She had found out that Zeres was currently residing there temporarily from Ezekiel's intel.
Her expression was still sour no matter how much she tried to reason out to herself that Ezekiel was after all, a healthy and virile man – one that seemed to be in his prime, nonetheless. Thus, she should not get so bothered about his personal matters. She was not planning to leave and just waited at the rooftop. But for some reason, her anger was not subsiding the least. In fact, she was somehow getting more angry than she was earlier.
The realization that the reason why Ezekiel never showed interest to the women hitting on him for the past two weeks was perhaps due to those women not being vampires irked and angered her. 'So, he does not even spare any woman a glance unless they're vampires, huh?' She scoffed.
When she finally reached the bookstore, Alicia let out a deep breath. She wanted to face palm again on the reason why she came all the way here and left her all-important task. But she quickly reasoned out that Ezekiel and that woman might be taking a while with their activities. So she might as come over and check on how Zeres was doing, to confirm on what he was actually up to. She must stop getting riled up over such a ridiculous and insignificant matter about that poker faced vampire prince!
Hastily, she rushed over to the bookstore and entered. She already had a gist on what Zeres was doing but she still wanted to confirm on it by seeing it with her own two eyes. This would help distract her and clear up her mind from that blasted vampire.
However, the moment she entered the room where she had sensed Zeres was in, her mouth dropped open at the sight that welcomed her.
Zeres was there… half naked and sitting on a chair, displaying his toned torso as though it was something he does every day. His eyes were closed, and his head was leaning back against the head of the chair. She had to blink a couple of times to make sure that she was looking at Zeres and not someone else. But… who else could be so good looking with that shock of silvery white hair if it were not Zeres himself?!
It was then that Alicia's eyes drifted a little to the side and looked at the girl who was sitting on the floor across from him. And Alicia noticed in her hands that she was holding onto a sketch pad. She was drawing Zeres!
Blinking, Alicia did not know how to even react. This… this was what Zeres was doing?! He was modelling for a… a female artist?!
Speechless, Alicia face palmed. Could this day get even more weird?! She could not believe that she had been worrying about this damned ancient witch only to find him modelling and even doing a naked type at that! What the hell's wrong with these males?! They just keep doing unexpected things! Ugh!! She could feel a massive headache coming on already.
The girl suddenly stilled in her movements. Her hand on the sketch pad stiffened and Alicia saw goosebumps appearing all over her skin.
That made Alicia narrow her eyes. Is this young lady capable of feeling her presence?
Alicia realized that she was somewhat like what the humans called ghost now. Feeling bad at the realization that she might be scaring the poor human girl, Alicia quickly left before she could turn around and look behind her.
But she halted just outside the door. She had noticed how peaceful Zeres looked as he sat there, sleeping. She had never seen him look that peaceful in such a long time. He had always looked so miserable ever since the day he had found out that he was the one drawing on her powers.
A small smile now curved on Alicia's face. She was glad that Zeres might be finally moving on and accepting everything that had happened so far. She was glad to find out that he was not actually doing shady or nasty things just so he could do the impossible in finding a way to bring her back to the physical realm.
Her smile slowly faded as she stood there. She suddenly remembered how gentle Zeres used to treat her before. She would not forget how he took care of her when she was at her weakest. But now, he was suddenly cold towards her, arguing with her whenever they meet or acting like he did not want to see her.
She thought that it was because he was still angry with the world.. But seeing how peaceful he looked now while he was with that human girl, she thought that perhaps… she was wrong.
