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
