The white Haired girl Maria's appearance was so abrupt and incongruous that it took all three of us aback. The terrified tension from moments before shifted into something almost comical as this miniature warrior appeared seemingly out of nowhere to defend her beloved.
Victor stared at Mariabell in utter disbelief.
"How did you get here?" he asked incredulously.
"I thought I told you to wait at home!"
His face had gone from pale terror to shocked bewilderment within seconds.
This little girl who is supposed to be my fiancée has just ruined everything!
He thought desperately.
She can't know about any of this! She's too pure! Too innocent!
But Mariabell didn't seem deterred by his questions; instead she kept glaring up at me defiantly.
"Like I'd let you handle scary vampires on your own," she muttered stubbornly.
"This is exactly why I followed you here."
I exchanged an amused glance with Aisha who seemed equally entertained by this turn of events.
