My Daughter is a Vampire

“Miss Charlotte, I asked you a question and you told me your love life.” Sherly shook her head and sighed.

Hearing her words, Charlotte blushed. She didn’t know how to answer that question. So, she said whatever was the truth.

“It doesn’t matter. I am glad to hear that there is still true love in this world. But, I still have a question for you. You have been her mother for a year. Now, it is just a hypothesis but what if her real mother comes back and decides to be his wife. What would you do in this situation?”

ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ When Sherly asked this question, even Brian and Ely looked at Charlotte. They were also curious about her response. After all, they knew this is going to happen in the future.

Charlotte took a deep breath and stared straight into Sherly’s eyes. For a moment, Sherly felt a chill behind her back.

“She doesn’t deserve to be his wife.”

When she answered that, Sherly, Brian, and Ely looked at her with confusion. The answer that came out of her mouth was quite similar to what they have guessed but deep inside, they had the feeling that she was telling the truth, and none of them could refuse it.

But still, Sherly was a headmaster. She couldn’t back down without knowing the reason. She looked at Charlotte and asked “Would you mind telling me why Miss Charlotte? I know I have been asking questions that are personal but here in our Whitelock Academy, we produce some of the finest students in the entire world.”

“I must know what to expect from the parents of my student.”

Charlotte raised her hand and patted Ely’s head. Because of what she said, Ely was trembling with anger and frustration. When Ely felt her hand, she raised her head and looked at Charlotte for a moment.

“If she ever decides to come back, she might make it as a great mother. No matter how much I try, Ely and I aren’t blood-related after all. So, the feeling that she would have for someone she hasn’t seen for her entire life would be genuine.”

“It would take a while but they are blood-related. Even if they haven’t met for eight years, they would still grow to love each other. This is the bond of a family. But, when it comes to being his wife. She doesn’t deserve it.”_{-ɴ(0)ᴠᴇʟ.}

“It’s neither about love nor it’s about children. When you marry someone, you decide to put your trust and feelings into that person. No matter the circumstance, they will face everything together.”

“That’s what marriage means. A bond that helps a person to put all of her/his trust into his/her partner. And, for parents, nothing is worse than being the dark about their children for eight years.”

“Regardless of the circumstances, if she had told him that he has a daughter. He wouldn’t have felt lonely after losing his family. He wouldn’t have felt guilty for not raising his child.”

“The true joy of being a parent is raising a child. Yes, they weren’t married but she still had his child. If she had taken one step further at that moment, she could’ve been a great wife but the fact that she didn’t even care to take a single step means she doesn’t think he can bear her responsibility.”

“And, if you don’t believe in your man, then you don’t deserve to be his wife. That’s my answer for why she doesn’t deserve to be his wife.”

When she said that, all three of them opened their mouth wide. Sherly felt it too real that she didn’t know whether her question was a hypothesis or not.

Brian and Ely knew this was real. So, this answer completely shook them. For Ely, it was like a nightmare but this nightmare was so real that she couldn’t break it.

For Brian, it was something that he lacked for five years. A person who will always support him. This answer made him believe that he was right. This answer made him believe that Charlotte meant to be his wife, not Lucy.

He truly didn’t know how to respond. For a moment, his mind went completely blank.

………..

Eight Years Ago, _{ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ}

“Brian, do you want to eat lunch together?” A shy girl walked near the eighteen-year-old Brian and asked. This girl was none other than Charlotte.

“Sorry Charlotte, I promised to eat lunch with Becky.” Brian raised his head and rejected her offer.

“It’s okay.” Charlotte bites her lips and walked away while holding the bento box in her hand.

“Hey, dude, What was that?” Suddenly, a teenager slapped his back and asked with an angry expression. He had brown skin and was a little short in height.

“He is right, Brian. You can’t be a jerk to your friend.” A tall and skinny guy standing next to him nodded his head.

“I am not a jerk. I can’t eat two lunches in a single day. I have already promised Becky. Oh! There she is.” Brian hurriedly stood up and ran towards the girl walking outside his class. She was walking with other friends.

“Damn! This guy doesn’t know how lucky he is to have Charlotte. Why did he even agree to go out with Becky?” James grunted as he clenched his fist with frustration.

“That’s because she didn’t propose to him while Becky did. You know Brian doesn’t love anyone dearly but he still likes people. So, when Becky asked him out, he couldn’t say no. Charlotte was late.” Barry sighed and sat on his bench.

“Hey, you guys! Can you not blame Charlotte? She is just a shy girl.” Another voice rang from the side as a girl walked near them. She had blonde hair and a beautiful face.

Behind her, it was none other than Charlotte. She was walking with a red face.

“We weren’t blaming her. We were blaming that guy.” James answered while folding his hands.

“Anyway Charlotte, you should give up on him or you will just be going to wait for a long time.” The blonde girl turned around and tried to convince Charlotte.

But, just before Charlotte could answer, Brian entered the class with a depressed expression. He went to his desk and sat on his chair.

“What happened?” Barry asked.

“Becky told me that she had already lunch with her friends,” Brian replied with a depressed expression.

“Umm….. Brian, I still have lunch. Maybe, we can eat together.” Charlotte gathered her courage and walked in front of her friend. She put her bento on his desk and spoke.

“Really? But… I was so mean to you just now.” Brian felt guilty for rejecting her and then eating her meal.

“It doesn’t matter. You tried to fulfill your promise and it is a good thing to fulfill your promise.” Charlotte shook her head and answered with a smile.

Hearing her words, Barry, James, and the blonde girl sighed. As for Brian, his eyes widened.

“See, I wasn’t being a jerk. Even Charlotte understands this! Thank you, Charlotte. You are always there for me.”

Hearing his words, Charlotte’s face turned red as she nodded.

‘I always want to be there for you. No matter what the situation might be, I will be there for you.’

After two years, a vampire outbreak in Zone B shook the foundation of this zone. Before that, it was just a normal society where different people lived together but now it was a war zone.

Brian and Charlotte lost their parents. Brian woke up at the hospital after five days. He remembered nothing that happened after he saw his parents sacrificing themselves.

Due to the death of his parents, his life became completely solitary.

Ding! Dong!

The bell rang and a few seconds later, Brian opened the door. Charlotte was waiting outside while holding the bento box.

“Brian, I brought you some food.” Charlotte showed a happy smile and extended her hands.

Bang!

But, Brian slammed the door and spoke hoarsely “I don’t need it.”

When he said that, Charlotte’s smile faded away. But, it’s not the first time. After the death of his parents, he couldn’t face anyone who isn’t human.

She took a deep breath and left the bento box outside.

“I left the food outside. I will bring some more tomorrow.”

After she left, she went straight to her apartment. Her apartment was quite messy.

Beep! Beep!

Suddenly, her phone vibrates. She takes out it and saw a message.

“Message from Landlord”

“I know it has been difficult for you but you haven’t paid rent for three months. This is the last month. If you don’t pay me, then I will have to kick you out.”

Reading the message, a bitter smile appeared on her lips. She opened the banking app and saw her savings.

$700

She puts her phone away and lands on the bed. She looks at the photo in front of her. It was a photo of her family.

‘Mom, you said when you truly love someone you don’t need to expect them to love you back and just do whatever you think is right.’

‘It’s so hard.’

She clenched her fists and thought ‘No, I can’t give up. If I give up now, he will remain hungry or destroy his health. I have already lost his smile. I don’t want to lose him.’

‘From tomorrow, I will find a job no matter what it takes. I will pay the rent and I will feed him until he recovers. Mom, no matter what the world says, I will always follow in your footsteps.’

……..

Cheer up Charlotte with powerstones!
