Chapter 136 - The Wall Between Them

"What?! Lyeon already has someone he likes but who? Why didn't I don't know?" asked Greyson.

"Hey, I'm not too sure either, okay… Maybe what I've seen is only because Becky wants to comfort him," said Rivera.

"Becky?? That woman is.... Becky!???" said Greyson again with a surprised look on his face.

Rivera gave him a ferocious glare. "Could you talk with a low voice??? Why did you have to shout?!" she said and she slapped Greyson's shoulder.

Greyson m.o.a.ned in pain and he rubbed gently his shoulder.

"And you, why did you look excited and happy when we talked about your brother? Shouldn't you be angry with me that I like other men because you like me, don't you?" said Rivera.

"Oh, so you do know I like you," said Greyson with a grin on his lips.

Rivera looked at Greyson with another ferocious glare. "Even a stupid woman can tell it, okay!?"

"Because I like you doesn't mean I have to make you mine… Right???"

Rivera turned froze at Greyson's words. She was speechless. How was she supposed to answer that?

"I like you…. And that makes me want to see you happy everyday."

Rivera didn't reply and instead she just stayed silent. Suddenly she feels so awkward.

Silence filled the atmosphere around them.

Rivera looked at Greyson. "Thank you."

"For what?" asked Greyson.

"I don't know… Be there to hear what I feel maybe… I don't know how to talk to other people about this," said Rivera and she laid her head on the table.

"That is why I am here. I saw you crying when you walked through the living room and I thought something might be bothering you. So I came here to see if you are okay or not," said Greyson.

Rivera's lips formed a weak smile. She doesn't have the energy to talk about what she saw before.

Suddenly, Rivera's eyes were distracted by the shining thing at Greyson's neck. A golden chain with golden peac.o.c.k pendant was hanging around Greyson's neck.

"What is that?" asked Rivera. She lifted up her head and she looked at the necklace.

Greyson looked at his necklace. "Oh this one? These are my mother's gifts for us. I mean, all of us have this necklace. My necklace has the number of seven which means I am the seventh son," he explained as he flipped the pendant around, to show Rivera the number of his pendant.

"Oh, wow… Your mother is a really good mother. But why did I never see her in Royal Castle before?? Is she with another organisation?" asked Rivera again.

"No, she is already dead."

Rivera was shocked when she heard this. She didn't know about that. That is why she never saw her before. "Oh, sorry. I didn't know," she said.

"No, it's okay. It already happened ten years ago," said Greyson. A faint smile formed on his lips.

"What happened?" asked Rivera. Suddenly she was interested in it and wanted to know more.

"Our house was attacked by the vampires and my mother died saving us all. In other words, the vampires killed my mother," answered Greyson.

"Okay. So that is why you hate the vampires so much. I'm impressed, your brother and you are still alive until now even though you guys are always surrounded by danger," Rivera said.

"Because we make promises to each other. No matter what happens, we have to stay alive and revenge for our mother's death. I wonder how we can still stay alive too," Greyson replied with a light chuckle.

"What a nice family you have. I wish I was home too," said Rivera while she was looking up, staring at the full moon at the dark sky which was filled with numerous shining stars around the full moon.

"You don't have a home before?" asked Greyson.

Rivera let out a small chuckled. Home? She should have been at home by now… Eating dinner with her family… Instead of here, fighting with vampires and struggling to herself for her love story. Is it considered as a love story?

"This is not my home," said Rivera with a low voice but Greyson still can hear what Rivera was trying to say.

"What do you mean by not your home?" asked Greyson with a weird face. He was confused about what Rivera was talking about.

Rivera realised that she almost blew up her identity to Greyson. So she quickly found a suitable answer to answer his question.

"I mean, this place… This is not my real home. You know, before I became a Hunter, I had a normal life… Like really a normal life. Going to school, eating dinner with my family and doing my homework. Instead of being here, doing a mission, holding a gun and killing vampires," she replied without looking at Greyson. She afraid that he might know Rivera was only giving another reason.

"We cannot live a normal life when the vampires is still around, Rivera. We have to do this so that the other people could be saved. We sacrifice ourselves for other people's lives," said Greyson.

"That's a harsh word, Greyson. 'We sacrifice ourselves for other people's lives'... Where did you get those words? From the book??" said Rivera teasingly.

"No, of course not. I make it myself," Greyson replied.

But then Rivera just laughed at him and said, "Yeah, right… Or are you just saying that from your mind?"

"No, I didn't….."

But the teasing didn't stop from there. Rivera kept teasing Greyson but they didn't realise that the wall between them, which always separated them from each other, slowly breaking apart… Giving a space for them to get closer to each other.

Rivera then continued to eat her dinner. She saw carrots inside her dish. Using the spoon, Rivera showed the carrots to Greyson.

"You know I don't like carrots. Why did you take this food for me?" asked Rivera.

"What's wrong with the carrot? It is good for us, you know," said Greyson again.

"Yeah, but I still don't like it. It has a weird taste. I don't like it," said Rivera again.

"Fine, then… Let me eat that then!" Greyson said as he grabbed Rivera's wrist, getting near Rivera and eating the carrot.

Rivera was shocked when Greyson touched her. This is not the first time he touched her but she sure that this touch had made her heart beat at a weird pace.

"Could you warn me before you touch me?! I don't like people touching me just like that," said Rivera.

"Oh, is that so. Then okay," Greyson answered as he kept munching the carrots inside his mouth.

Rivera just looked at Greyson and silently, she sighed. She wasn't sure what the sign was for. And she doesn't want to know what is it for.
