him.
    “Why do you keep this up? I do not want your love!” His voice was aggressive.
    “The way you cannot love me, I also cannot forget you,” I declared perplexed.
    “You should forget me...your love just makes me ill,” he said.
    “What can I do?”
    “Forget I exist!” he ordered.
    “You can prevent a love story with me, but you cannot impede me from loving you.” My voice sounded rude to his ears.
    “Valkyrie! Understand...” his voice was delicate though he was a vampire.
    “I will never understand!” I screamed, muffling his voice.
    “Your love is detrimetntal to me.” He spoke quietly.
    “Eros I need you.” I held his arm firmly. “You are the love of my life.”
     
    He shook his head negatively at me. All I had said seemed to make no sense to him.
    “I love you!” I insisted, staring into his fascinating eyes.
      But Mirta arrived at the place. She did not like what she saw. Eros and I were near the bonfire.
    “Eros!” she screamed at his back. “I was looking for you.”
    Eros walked away from me and went on next to my rival.
    “What are you doing here?” she asked him.
    “Let’s go!” he ordered.
    They both left the scene, embracing.
    I remained motionless. I did not want to see the two together. Eros looked back over his shoulder and saw I hadn’t moved. I was motionless, held back by the cowardice of losing him to Mirta.
     
     

Chapter 26
     
     
    I was standing on the highest point of a rock. It was an unknown place to me. Near the gloomy sky, a light reflected on my face. It was the full moon's light.
    Bats flew over my head, from side to side, in a practiced dance.
    My dress wanted to unfasten from my body and follow the accelerating breeze. An owl flew into the air and came against me. It rested on my palm. I was admiring it for a long time as I brought it next to my face. My lips met the owl.
    It was submerged by a supernatural energy and it morphed into the human form.
    I kissed the frigid lips of the vampire Eros.
    My body was shocked by a stunning effect.
    I wished that time would not end.
    That it could be eternal.
     
    ***
     
    Opening my eyes, I saw that I had dreamed. I wanted to be asleep into that dream forever, everything seemed so real.
    The kiss ... the sensations ... I had never felt before.
    Maybe I would never feel them in the real world.
      

Chapter 27
     
     
    Mirta crossed the street near her home. It was night-time, the place was deserted. She accelerated her steps to get right to her home.
    A figure appeared before her. It was in a black cape and its face was covered by a dark hood. She raised her hands to her lips as she was terrified by that creature.
    “Who are you?” She took two steps back.
    The bizarre figure did not answer her question. It only continued motionless, just watching her trembling movements.
    “What do you want from me?” she insisted.
    The stranger walked quickly toward her and wrapped her into its black cape.
    She had no time to run away.
     
    ***
     
    Mirta was thrown to the ground. She had fainted it seemed.  The causative individual left the place before he could be taken by surprise.
    At that moment I walked down the street and saw Mirta lying on the floor. I ran to her.
    “Mirta!” I looked at her pale face.
    I knelt down to see what had happened to her.
    “Mirta! It is me... Valkyrie!” I put my hand on her cold face. She was dead. I turned her head to the side and saw blood on her neck.
    I  recognized it had been vampire bite.
    “Mirta!” I yelled.
    Despite everything that had happened between us, I had never wanted her death.
    Mirta was used by Eros to affect me.
    “He did this to you!” I said aloud.
    In my mind there was only one culprit.
     
     

Chapter 28
     
     
    I took Mirta’s body with me and flew over the town with her corpse in my arms. I could not leave her dead on the ground. People would discover the origin of her death.
    I stopped flying on top of a cliff in a forest. There was a large, deep
