Valkyrie - the Vampire Princess 2 by Pet Torres Page B

morning made me see him as a new friend.
    Every vampire had their exploits, charms and uses and what Bizak had just done was one of them. We extended our conversation while we walked to the main room. Bizak laughed at his own humorous comments.
    We became quiet as we were met by Eros’ presence. He was leaning against his seat. He was rigidly observing our behavior. Then he knew we came from a fun situation.
    I lowered my head and didn’t face those accusing eyes again. Bizak looked at my face and he realised I was taken aback by Eros’ disapproval. He noted Eros had influenced me in some way. Eros exerted a power over me.
    Only one enigmatic gaze on me and it was enough for me to change my behavior . Then I closed myself to everyone who was around me. I was wordless.

“ Why are you up at a time like this?” Bizak asked him as he was surprised to see Eros out of his bed so early.
    “My body got accustomed to the routine schedule from Earth ,” he joked at him. “You also aren't accustomed to staying up at this time, having fun and floating on snow.”
    At that moment it had became clear to me. Eros had seen everything that happened between me and Bizak from the outside of the castle.
    I felt a fatigue at his words.
    Irony did not blend well with Eros and it made him frightening.
     
    “Valkyrie’s feet were frozen,” Bizak justified, proving to be helpful.
    “You have practiced the day’s best action!” Eros reinforced his satirical joke.

“I think you're the one and only here that deserves applause for everything you do,” Bizak protested, enraged at him. “You’re the only number one!”
    Then Bizak walked away from there before a discussion could be formed between them. This meant that I was alone with Eros in that huge living room. Then I could clearly hear my footsteps while I approached him.
    “ Is it just my impression or do you two hate each other?” I asked him as I was staring at his obscure face.
    “The word ‘hate’ is a compliment ,” he said ironically.
    “What's wrong with him?” I insisted.
    “What's wrong with them?” he pronounced my question again changing the pronouns.
      I shook my head at him as I was confused at his many insinuations. Eros noticed I showed no interest in his frivolous comments. He got up from his seat and held my arm firmly, bringing me to him. At that moment I could see his face up close. His expression looked arduous.

“I don't know why. But I do not trust them yet ,” he answered and looked away.
    “Them?” I stared at him, requiring a clearer response from him.
    “Bizak and… Valeska… I think there’s something confusing about them ...” he said seriously as he looked back into my eyes.
    “They seem ok,” I said softly.
    “That's the problem. They do not look like what they really are,” he alleged.
    ”You ’re making me confused...” I said and looked around him. Eros made me believe I was lost in a nest of snakes.
    “Stay away from them and principally you must stay away from Valeska ,” he said and freed my arm. Then he walked to another room.

Eros seemed to be sorry after he had said those things to me, after he had seen the great fear in my eyes.  I tried to say something to him and tried to get details about all he said to me. However, I was interrupted by his absence, because he wasn't there. Eros had vanished like smoke into the air.
      Valeska almost immediately appeared in the living room.
    ”You're here, ” she said with her dull smile. Then I stared at her face in a different manner from other times. I was looking for some detail, something that could resemble things assumed by Eros just moments ago. I always trusted him, but his suspicions were unacceptable. I saw Bizak and Valeska like candidates to be my good friends.
    Maybe this was the problem  Eros had, he was jealous of my friendship with Bizak and Valeska. Possibly he would be afraid they could take his place in my life.
