301 Were just vampires (1/2)

Kai was silent. It seemed there was no more way out of this. Now that he confirmed that she really remembered everything, Kai was starting to feel uneasy. No, it was worry and fear. And he could tell he was worried about her. Because Kelly was in danger now. What should he do? This was his fault. He shouldn't have let her catch him last night. It seemed that his worry about her backfired on him and now he had put her in an even more dangerous situation.

He finally stared at her eyes and he could see anger and a little fear in them. There was no more way out but to tell her. ”I'm sorry…” he muttered again, causing Kelly to grit her teeth.

”Stop apologizing, you damn prince, and just tell me what is going on! If you won't speak then let go!” she pressed, struggling futilely again.

”That's right. We're the ones behind it all. We erased your memories so you would forget about us.”

Kelly was speechless as she shook her head in disbelief. ”How?”

”We used a special incense to cast a spell on you guys.”

A forced smile escaped her lips. ”What now? Are you saying that you guys are wizards? What is all this b*llshit about spells?”

”No. We're just vampires, not wizards.”

Kelly's eyes narrowed at him, obviously not believing his words. She gazed deeply into his eyes. She thought that he was just procrastinating, saying something so outrageous to distract her from the issue at hand. But she was having none of it. But he looked so serious and there was no sign of him lying at all.

”Stop joking around, Prince,” her lips slightly trembled. There was no way this was actually happening right now. Vampires were not real. They were baddies that Hollywood made up to increase their ticket sales. There was just no way… but what other explanation was there for all this and his super human speed just now and this strength? Radioactive spider? Alien?

Kelly's mind was starting to race as her thoughts began analysing, building theories to try and explain what she just saw but nothing made sense. Science couldn't make sense of it.

”I am not joking,” Kai said with as much seriousness as he could muster, which made Kelly waver.

”So, you're saying that you and Alexander Qin are vampires?” she asked. Her voice now turned quieter.

”Yes. Not just us. Most of us in this country,” he answered before he let out a sigh and let his body fall on top of her as if he was exhausted. ”I'm sorry for putting you in this situation, Kelly. I know this is hard to believe. We are not supposed to be known to the world. And you knowing all this now puts you in danger. That's why I am telling you all this. Because I want you to understand and keep this a secret. This is the only way to save you. Act like you don't know a thing and act like you don't remember a thing. Can you do that?” he whispered.

He pulled away but his face was still close to hers. ”Listen Kelly, I will let you meet Abigail right now, but you have to promise me that you will act like you know nothing.”

”And if… I won't?”

”I'll have to force you to stay in this country and you will never get to go back home again.”

”And if I refuse?”

Kai stared into her eyes before he answered. ”They would… execute you.”
