Valkyrie - the Vampire Princess 3 (7 page)

Chapter 17

I couldn’t control my fury.

A gray smoke around my body appeared and carried me to the school gym. I did this in a few seconds as I was faster than a plane.

There was no one besides me in the gymnasium. There was only darkness and an immense void in the place.

The kiss between Eros and Mirta was still fresh in my mind.

I was standing in the center of the gym. Then I opened my arms and downloaded all my anger, which was not little. A blue energy went out of my hands and destroyed part of the sports great hall.

The nets tore. The basketball hoops melted and lamps broke. I felt happy doing that. But I still was not satisfied at all and then I destroyed the floor too. It was left with enormous cracks. I finally fell to the ground as I was weakened, having spent almost all my energies.

Chapter 18

The next day I came to school as if nothing had happened. I walked with my head up. Everyone around me was commenting about the destruction of the gymnasium. They were surprised by the vandalism.

The school principal called the authorities to investigate the case, since they had no idea who would have done such a thing since there was no evidence of theft.

Halfway to the corridor I met with Mirta, who came running to me. She could not face me due to what had happened between Eros and her last night.

“Hi!” she said as she kept her head down.

I did not answer.

“Have you seen what happened in the gym? That has never happened here!” she said, surprised. “Why are you strange?” she insisted. “Don’t you want to see me today?”

“I do not want to see you today or any other day either!” I said resentfully.

“Why are you treating me this way?”

“You can still ask me that?” I stared at her with a great hatred.

“I don’t know what you're talking about.” Mirta smoothed her hair, looking stunned.

“I know everything.”

“About?”

“About the kiss between you and Eros,” I affirmed.

“Did he say that to you?” Mirta was desperate to know how I was informed of everything.

“Make good use of him!” I said with my head up. I would never show my weakness.

“Valkyrie! Wait!” she cried hopelessly towards my back.

I looked back at her.

“You made your choice,” I said, uncompromising.

Then I turned my back to her and started to walk on not giving her a chance to approach me.

The link involving my friendship with Mirta had broken when she was rewarded with Eros’ kiss.

Mirta would never occupy the post of my friend after all that had happened.

Chapter 19

Now I had no friend in school. Mirta did not make contact with me after our discussion. She knew I no longer wanted her friendship, much less to tolerate her presence in my life.

That was why she always stayed away from me. She changed her sitting place in the classroom.

When math class ended, everyone left the scene. I remained in the classroom to take time and not to look at Mirta’s nose.

Someone returned to the classroom. I looked at the figure approaching me.

When I recognized who it was, I exclaimed, “Douglas!”

“Valkyrie! I need to talk to you.”

“If it's about us ...forget about it!” I ordered.

“Why do you not give me a chance?” he asked.

“I don't like you the way you behave.”

“I don’t care about that.”

“But I do.” I grabbed my things quickly.

He grabbed my arm and felt my skin’s coldness.

“You feel cold!” he exclaimed to me.

“I am cold!” I said, looking at him. “Now free my arm!”

“No,” he said, decided.

I felt threatened by Douglas. I did not like the way he came near me. His desire for me made me upset. He hugged me and tried to kiss my lips without my consent.

My lips were near his neck.

I could not control my urge to drink his blood.

He screamed as he felt my teeth piercing his neck. His blood flowed down as I was sucking it more and
more, without interruption.

I was wise to abandon my prey in time. I had sucked 99% of his blood.

He was unconscious. He was about to die within minutes.

I could not leave his corpse in the classroom and raise suspicions that there was a vampire among humans. I disappeared into a dark smoke taking his corpse into my arms.

Chapter 20

Eros and Mirta began dating frequently.

He went to school just to meet her at the school exit. It was a way for me to witness his involvement with her.

Basically, he wanted to hurt me, make me irritated. Maybe he wanted to take revenge on me for what my father did to him, having banished him from Neptune.

Despite his strong physical attraction for Mirta, I saw no other feeling in him. He seemed to want to use her to hit back at me.

He was succeeding.

I watched the two in the schoolyard. Mirta put her hands on his face to caresses on him. She was smiling the whole time. Her face did not deny that she was in love with him.

All her feelings for Christian had disappeared.

She looked at me and saw that I watched them with my face serious. They then hugged and walked on and it shattered my nerves.

My vampire powers gave me wings to do several things that a human could not do. I focused my mind on a huge stone in the courtyard. It got up and moved rapidly towards Eros’ head. The stone scraped off his ear. As he was with his back to me, he couldn’t see the stone but he could sense the object approaching him. With the swift power of his mind he maneuvered the stone away from him before it could do any damage to his head.

He knew I had done it with my vampire powers.

He threw the stone back, without looking at me and walked beside her. Mirta did not see anything, she just looked at the stone on the ground when she heard the noise of the same falling down.

“What was that?” Mirta asked, frightened.

“A stone has come for a walk,” Eros answered ironically.

“What did you say?” she asked stunned.

“It is a joke!”

Chapter 21

I came back home as a mere mortal ... walking.

In fact I could become smoke and get home fast. But I did not want to do this. I needed to walk on and reflect about my damn life.

Eros came from the air and came down standing in front of me. I stopped walking after his sudden presence.

“What are you doing here?” I asked, injured.

“That stone almost hit me,” he informed me, serious.

“What a pity! You stopped it in time.”

“Is that jealousy?”

 He finally figured out the reason for my violent reaction.

Although I was a vampire, that reaction did not fit my behavior.

“Why don’t you leave me alone?” I asked in enragement.

“I don’t think you really want that,” he said playing with his fingers.

“Yes, I do want that.” I walked in front of him. “Stop hasseling me!”

“All right.” He went up and vanished into the air.

I looked up at the sky and did not see any trace of him.

At that moment he had answered my prayer.

Chapter 22

The pupils in school were frightened by a huge snake that appeared into the yard, in the middle of classes.  They rushed to the school hallway.

The school principal came to see what was happening.

Students reported they saw a huge snake crawling on the lawn near the entrance. Some employees were assigned to search for the snake and kill it.

They took hours doing searches and found nothing. Due to this, students were released early.

After school, I was surprised to see Bizak outside the school. He was standing near the main gate.

“Bizak!” I exclaimed surprised at him.

“Valkyrie!” he said, smiling at me.

“What are you doing here?” I insisted.

“I’m going for a walk,” he said.

“Did you come here on my father's behalf?” I asked.

“Your father fell asleep again. He does not know I'm here on this planet,” he explained.

“That snake in the yard was you?”

“I did not think it would cause so much noise in this school!”

He thought it was funny to see people going into a panic.

“You could have been more discreet.”

“I will not do that again.”

“How did you find me here?” I asked him.

“It was not hard to find you.”

“Do you want to stay long on Earth?”

“I do not know yet ...”

“What about my father? How is he?”

“How I told, he is...sleeping.”

We walked together to the main street.

“Your father banished Eros from Neptune.” Bizak wrinkled at the daylight. He was not used to it.

“I'm aware of that, ” I said normally.

“How do you know that?” he asked, staggered.

“Eros told me,” I confessed and looked down at the ground.

“Is he here?” Bizak asked in astonishment.

“Yes,” I responded as my thought was on Eros.

“What’s he doing here?” Bizak sniffed.

“I don't know.”

“Valkyrie, beware of Eros. He might have come here to take vengeance on you.”

I stared at Bizak. What he had just said made sense.

“I do not think he's capable of it.”

“You do not know Eros enough to be sure,” Bizak said, trying to convince me otherwise.
