Valkyrie - the Vampire Princess 3 by Pet Torres Page A

.
    I was determined to not to suffer any longer for a love condemned by immortality and it would never live up to my expectations.
    I reasoned there wasn’t any need for me to be going to school . I was a vampire . I wouldn't need any study. However, I should keep my normal attitude for the benefit of my mother and all other people .
    Since I decided to be among humans again , I would have to behave like them , or at least , try ...
    My thoughts were reprehended after a lyrical voice screamed at my back .
    “Valkyrie!”
    It was Mirta, my only girl friend .
    I turned to face her and was surprised by her huge hug. I had no time to avoid it .
    “I missed you ... friend! You disappeared !” s he said with a naive smile.
    I turned my body , refusing her return her hug .
    “Did I disappear ?” my face was abruptly confused.
    “Are you okay, Valkyrie? You’ re so cold !” she squeezed my hand.
    “I am sick, ” I said and lowered my head.
    “ Sick ? What wrong with you , friend?”
    Inside her eyes there was an apprehensive expression .  She seemed worried about my illness.
    “I discovered I have an unusual illness, where I have several symptoms and coldness is one of them. ”
    I only smiled awkwardly and shrugged my shoulders at her.
    “ That's why you didn’t attend school ?” she asked.
    “Pretty much” I said, avoiding extending our conversation.
    “ I went to your house and called you two times . But no person appeared . Your front door was closed . Then I imagined that maybe you had traveled, ” she completed.
    “ I went to a clinic out of town . I had a medical examination. It was so fast ... I haven’t had any time to tell you, ” I said and grimaced.
    The time really had not moved for my mother.
    “ After the rock and roll concert... several people disappeared ,” Mirta said, holding her books .
    “ Several people disappeared ?” I asked and p anic grew into my huge black eyes.
    “You disappeared ... Christian... even Eros doesn’t attended school anymore, ” she informed me.
    “Why has Christian disappeared ?” I asked confused at Christian’s disappearance that night .
    What did he have to do with that night ?
    I knew the reason for the Eros’ disappearance.
    “ They found Christian’s father’s car parked next to his house , but he wasn’t there . They suspect something terrible happened to him,” Mirta added.
    “ And who would harm him?” I asked.
    “ No one knows .” She looked down at the ground. “Oh, I am so unhappy after his disappearance. I cry every night. ” Her tears streamed down her cheeks.
    “He’ll appear. ” I was trying to be persuasive.
    “He’s all I crave !” She confessed.
    “ It’s strange ...” I said softly and glanced away.
    “ I see you didn’t bother about Eros’ disappearance! What happened to Eros and you that night ? Did he hurt you ? She asked, stepping closer.
    “Eros... told me about his trip . He needed to visit his parents and he doesn’t know when he will return,” I said in an unconvincing voice.
    “ At least he’s okay, ” she said without hope for Christian.
    “ You’re right !”
    “Do you miss him ?” She looked at my face.
    “Yes, I miss him so much! But I think it is better all has happened this way.”
    “Why? You’re in love with him !” she a ffirmed.
    “ I never told I am in love with him. ” I shook my head at her.
    “You don’t need to tell me that . W ho would not have noticed that?”
    “I don’t want to talk about it ... I don’t want to talk about him, ” I said quickly.
    “Okay,” she agreed.
    ***
    Taking my seat in my class , my eyes ran toward a chair at the end of my classroom. The same chair which Eros had always sat in . I imagined him there , sitting on it and staring at me .
    When I just woke out of my day-dream, I saw everyone staring at me in the class . They noticed my black clothes and my obscure face .
    They knew I wasn't the same Valkyrie . Something was wrong with me. They
