Chapter 19: The Book Of Journal

This morning Hermes stood in front of the mirror, not usually dressed very neatly. After a tight white shirt and jeans were torn in some parts such as thighs and knees. He looks very sexy and dashing. He left the top two buttons open, showing off his prominent chest muscles.

Only this time it mirrors, usually, Hermes doesn't do that. He was a fool with his appearance. Hair that used to be messy, is now very neat with a touch of pomade. Matheus saw a change in Hermes' attitude. Hermes's behavior has been very strange lately. Not as usual. "That love has poisoned his life!" Think Matheus is increasingly reluctant to fall in love.

Hermes smiled, then prepared to leave. "Hi, Matt, are you sleeping well?" Hermes asked putting on his coat. It doesn't need a coat. Because the circulation in his body can produce or be able to regulate the temperature and provide a sense of warmth when the weather is snowing like today.

"Yes, very quiet. But suddenly my mind was distracted by the presence of the vampires!" Matheus's words showed an expression of concern.

"Hey, you don't have to worry about that, Mat! Sooner or later, they'll find us!" Hermes said as if he knew things would be fine. Moreover, Matheus knew that the remaining werewolves were the only ones left. Assuming Hermes knew of all the devastation of the werewolf race kingdom, perhaps he would not have ignored this speech of his.

"No Your Highness, I'm still worried about you and Vampire clans! I also don't want to see you hurt by them," said Matheus. He remained restless even though Hermes had repeatedly told him to calm down and be relaxed.

"Sorry Matt! Can we talk about that next time?" Hermes stopped when Matheus was about to complain to his master. Hermes didn't have much time to listen to Matheus's chatter any longer. "I have to go!" Said, Hermes. He dressed like a middle-aged man wanting to go to the office. Very neat, but looks very sexy.

"Where else does the prince want to go?"

"I want to meet that woman in person!" Hermes said giving a sweet dimpled smile. "I'll go first, Mat! Take good care of yourself here!" Hermes waved his hand at Matheus without looking back.

Matheus could only pat his forehead when he could do nothing to stop Hermes. "I think Your Majesty Cronos will be very angry with me!" Matheus said a little sighing.

The wind blew, the snow fell continuously without stopping. The cold air is increasingly covering the day, morning, noon, and even night feels colder. People are still active, and the Christmas holidays are coming soon. Some offices will be closed until the Christmas holidays until the new year. But not with Claudia. She must remain vigilant in her mini-market. Even today, after her mother died from a vampire bite, she must remain vigilant. In the morning she goes to college, in the evening she has to take care of the mini-market as a part-time waiter.

For she, her mother's death was too sudden. She did not know what to call her father. Because her father's number had been inactive for a long time after a week of saying goodbye to leaving home on the pretext of getting a job out of town. Even though Claudia knew, her father had been fired for a month and no longer worked at the company where he worked for 15 years. Claudia also couldn't say anything, even arguing was free. Her father would hit her if she asked too many questions.

This morning, Claudia had asked permission not to enter the rector of her college campus. She sat on her mother's mattress lying with a bitten neck mark. She sighed and didn't want to cry over what happened. Thus, she felt more sorry for the fate of her mother who is now a monster.

Claudia opened the cardboard box. She saw there were many memories neatly stored in the box. Photos of her and her mother smiling beautifully. Claudia's lips swelled beautifully, only on the left end. There was a savings book among the toys when she was little. Her mother kept it neatly in the box. Claudia picked up the savings book, inside of which was a newspaper account. She opened it. Then she looked at her mother's savings book, which was quite large.

"Is this?" Claudia's words were cut off. "How can you have this much?" Claudia asked herself.

Claudia hurriedly opened the paper tucked in her mother's savings book. Tucked between newspaper accounts. On the paper, it was full of words she didn't understand at all.

'Hello, my love!'

The first word Claudia read. Claudia's eyes dropped to the next writing.

'I know you must have found this, maybe you'll be gone when you find these files. Or maybe you've become a cruel monster when you find out what's going to happen next.'

Claudia frowned. She was quite confused by her mother's words, and everything her mother said happened. "How do you know all this, Mom?"

'You must be confused why you found out, aren't you? Yes, of course, you will be confused why you know all that. Because my mother had predicted what would happen in the last five years. The world is beginning to be filled with vampires. Where one by one human being becomes very horrible. So are your mom and dad. I hope if you find me to be a monster, kill me, please. So that there will be no more spread of vampire viruses that will destroy this world.'

Claudia increasingly did not understand. Even her mother's writing seemed to know what would happen next. Claudia did not realize that her mother could see a future that no one else knew. But Claudia just knows people think she's crazy. Some people think that her mother's illness is a curse. Then Claudia read a continuation of her mother's writing.

'Ask for the help of the remaining werewolf nations. I'm sure they'll help the world from the evil vampires.'

Claudia was quite surprised. She had been shocked many times by her mother's writing. For a moment she remembered Hermes and Matheus that night. "Werewolf?" She said. She remembered about Matheus's words she had accidentally heard from the talk that night. "Aren't the two men werewolves? But ..." there was a feeling of doubt in her heart. He treated them both like normal human beings, and she felt no fear when she was near Hermes and Matheus. "I have to find out for myself about them!" She said. Open other items such as journal books. She did not think her mother would make a journal.

Claudia began to open it. There is a lot of writing and pictures in the book. There is also a picture of the structure of DNA, how the vampire virus that enters the human body can make new DNA in humans who have died. Then, her mother also wrote about how the virus worked and spread the poison. Claudia's eyes did not blink reading one by one the pictures and also her own mother's writing.

She never knew what her mother could have done in her office. Her father and mother had activities that she never knew about them. She only knew her mother was a scientist on microorganisms. And her father was a great doctor. However, all that changed when her mother began to get sick. Her father began to rarely return home and did not care about her and also her mother. To this day, her father does not care. Claudia doesn't even know where her father is now.

Claudia closed her mother's journal book, "So, you already predicted all this?" She said. Then she stood up. "I have to find them." She said. Place a cardboard box on the table.
