BXBX NOVEL Chapter 202 Vanessa's Story 2
The group of 5 passed through the exit and they arrived on a hill with a nearby forest.
Once they got out of the passage, Vanessa smelled the smell of burning, heard the sounds of metal clashing against metal, and the sound of screams also sounded.
She turned her eyes in the direction where the sounds were coming and her eyes dilated in shock.
Vanessa saw her family estate as well as the whole city her family manage is burning with black fire!
Black wyverns hovered over the purple sky, spitting out black fires at anything that they see.
Demons wearing crimson robes threw magic one after another at the struggling soldiers of the estate.
The citizens of the city died without even having the chance to put up a fight.
"Ha…!"
Vanessa covered her mouth in shock, frightened by the scene she was seeing.
Watching all of this happen, the city where she grew up in, being destroyed right in front of her eyes, made the little girl cry.
"Huhuhu, sniff… why!? Huhuhu!"
Tears flowed down her cheeks like a dam that was opened, rushing down nonstop.
Behind her, Vanessa\'s parents, the head maid Min, and a child maid apprentice that she grabbed on their way to the passage before, stood and looked at Vanessa with dejected faces.
At this time, Vanessa\'s father approached her and stood beside her, overlooking the destruction happening on his territory with a grim look on his face.
"Vanessa… I hope that you will remember this day. The day that we were betrayed by the one we trusted, the day they destroyed our home."
After looking at it for a while, Vanessa\'s father kneeled down while facing her, looking her directly in the eye.
Solemnly, he said, "Vanessa, you have to escape from this place and live on. We will send you to a barren planet called Earth, hide there until everything subsides here."
He beckoned at the child brought by head maid Min and said,
"We will send this child with you to Earth, her name is Melissa. She will act as your personal maid while you are in that place."
The child, or Melissa, seems to be a naive and clumsy girl based on her appearance.
"H-hello, Young Lady." Melissa nervously greeted.
Vanessa only took a glance at her as tears were still flowing out of her eyes.
At this time, her mother and the head maid Min are also already silently sobbing in the back.
For a while, only the sound of crying sounded on this cold hill.
With the burning
Then, Vanessa\'s father suddenly said,
"It\'s time."
With that, he waved his hand and conjured a portal made of blood.
"It\'s time to go."
Vanessa\'s mother cried louder hearing that her daughter has to leave now.
For an unknown amount of time, her beloved daughter will have to live in a far away land, full of strangers.
She can\'t help but be worried, however, this is for the best, to protect her daughter.
Vanessa ran to her mother and embraced her for the last time, tears running down from their eyes.
After that, Vanessa said farewell to her Father and Headmaid Min as well before finally going through the portal with Melissa in tow.
Behind her, the voice of her family entered her ears for the last time.
"Goodbye Daughter/Young Lady."
Then her vision darkened and she fell unconscious.
When she finally opened her eyes, Vanessa only saw an old dilapidated wooden ceiling.
"Where am I…?"
Vanessa slowly sat up on the bed she was lying on and looked at the room she found herself in.
Creak…
At this time, the door of the room opened and an old woman entered.
"Oh, you\'re awake!"
The old woman said in surprise before walking towards Vanessa.
With a gentle appearance, the old woman caringly asked, "How do you feel now, child?"
Vanessa heard the gentle voice of the old woman and answered, "I… I\'m fine."
Breathing a sigh of relief, the old woman showed a smile, "That\'s good."
Then she said, "You still have to rest even if you feel like you\'re okay now."
"Wait here, I made some porridge, you should eat some and get yourself energized."
The old woman left, leaving Vanessa in a daze.
Now that she is alone, Vanessa finally got the time to think properly and sort herself.
At this time, she suddenly remembered the one who crossed the portal along with her.
She looked around her and found another bed not far away from hers.
There, a little girl with a good complexion is resting, sleeping peacefully.
"... What was her name again?" Vanessa tried to remember the name of the girl that her Father told her.
"Melissa… that\'s what Father called her." She muttered.
Vanessa stared at Melissa for a while before turning her head at the window.
The sun was lighting the room with its warm light, giving some life to this dim room.
Since Vanessa has the blood of a high ranking vampire, she\'s able to enjoy the warmth of the sun without worrying about it damaging her.
She closed her eyes and felt the sunshine that touched her skin.
As Vanessa was taking her time, enjoying the comfort brought by the sun, a groan sounded in the direction of Melissa\'s bed.
Melissa slowly opened her eyes and looked around her.
Soon, confusion spread on her face before her eyes landed on Vanessa.
"Young Lady!" She called.
Hurriedly, she tried to get up on the bed but failed and fell back down.
Vanessa only took a glance at her before closing her eyes and going back to enjoying the warm sunlight.
Not knowing what to do, Melissa can only shut her mouth while her mind is in a mess from their current situation.
She struggled to slowly get back up while tears seemed to start gathering in the corner of her eyes.
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Vanessa sighed and spoke.
"Don\'t move, just rest for now. We will talk later."
She calmly said, something that you won\'t see from a normal 7 year old child.
After hearing her words, Melissa finally calmed down a little and stopped trying to get up.
