Eternity: Fragility | Memory
Fragilité

Fragility…
The fragility in humans is surprising, people that by a simple small cut can die from an infection, all this from one moment to another and they can find the end of their life, I was like that, but it was a long time ago, I can’t even remember how is feel the fear of getting hurt, I can feel pain, but the pain doesn’t kill me, wounds either, although there are ways in which I could get killed, I have never been in the position to address some of them.
My first conversation with the small Jurina was the most beautiful thing I felt, I doesn’t remembered the feeling of warmth that a human being could give, but Jurina made me feel it, even with all the innocence with which she treated me, I could feel that I had made the right decision on take care of her and stay by her side.
But all isn’t easy, a monster like me shouldn’t be with such fragile creature like Jurina, yet my desire was to be with her, with the someone who made my life have sense.
“Don’t know about you for so many years and now learn that you are a guardian angel of a human child, I’m surprised, Rena” The quiet voice but feeling it like daggers through my body, I hadn’t heard that voice for decades…
“Yuka” I whispered the name of who had acted as a protector and teacher during my first years as a vampire, and even more, as someone who I consider my family, to her side Meiko, her eternal companion, both watching the situation with disapproval.
From the beginning they said me that I shouldn’t mingle with humans again, at least not as deep as it was when I was human, warning I had followed all this time, but everything changed with Jurina, she made me forget that warning…
“It’s not for more to say which is our recommendation, right?” Meiko asked as she approached me until the palm of her hand touched my cheek “You know that human life is fragile, easy broken as a cup falls to the ground and spreads into thousand pieces”
“I know” I answered almost in audibly, I knew all that, but I was there to protect the cup so it would not break into pieces.
“Then you know you should stay away of her, do it now before something dangerous happens, or you see yourself displayed in the human world” Yuka said authotitatively, Yuka was a prowerful vampire, and have many more years than me, even Meiko was older than me by many centuries, Yuka’s presence causes admiration and respect for humans and for us, her word is powerful like her strength, but if is about Jurina, that doesn’t matter to me anymore.
“I will protect her, I will not let anything happen to her and don’t worry about humans, I will not let they know about me either” I answered defiantly, but even then I didn’t make Yuka feel affected, Meiko stood between Yuka and me and watched me with maternal eyes, between the two major figures in front of me, Meiko is the quietest and comprehensive.
“I know you will, but we don’t say this just for the human child, but also for you, we are trying to protect you from the pain, you know that you are different, Rena, as how you are attracted by that girl, don’t you think others like us will be too? more knowing that you protect her, it will give them curiosity, your mere presence threatens the life of that child and yourself” Meiko could be right but I would be at Jurina side anyways, Jurina is the most important thing for me now, I will be with her always.
“Still, I will protect her from all those who want to hurt her” I answered even more challenging, more to Yuka than Meiko, Yuka hadn’t stopped to watch Jurina from the distant, Yuka’s eyes reminded me of when she was hunting humans, she’s dangerous, Yuka is dangerous for Jurina, I could feel it.
“You will regret your decision Rena, If isn’t now, it would be later and it would be worse, that child could get hurt, or worse, dead… and everything will be your fault” Yuka said ominously, her words gave me a feeling of deep fear, but I didn’t allow her to realize that, without another word Yuka vanished into the night at high speed, but not before giving a little look at Jurina again.
“We do this for you sake, you know how much we love you” Meiko said that as she kissed my cheek “Forgive us” she finished saying before going behind Yuka.
I decided to protect Jurina from every harm that might affect her from the first moment I saw her, and it was a promise to myself that I wasn’t planning to break, even if it meant going against who I think as family, was something I was walling to do.
My nights had become a regular visit to the small Jurina’s room, which was always waiting on her bed with the window open waiting me to come in, I was exclusive dedicated to listen her and give little tips, encouraging her when she didn’t understand something or when something made her angry.
Every day I was waiting to see her, feel her small hands and to hear her voice, so fragile it is, but protect her was my mission, from the meeting with Yuka and Meiko I had been even more alert, since that night I had seen them a few more times, in each of them saying me to stay away from Jurina, and in each of them denying to do it.
Yuka looked more impatient each time and as the days went she was more and more silent, allowing Meiko spoke, after a couple of weeks Yuka stopped coming to see me and only Meiko came, which wasn’t stopping to advise me to kept a distance from Jurina, until one night she warned me that Yuka wouldn’t just sit with folded arms waiting me for leave Jurina, and although it would hurt her too, she will do something to stop me, she said to me to be more alert than I already was, and that the next time I see her, it wouldn’t be just to talk.
That day I was watching Jurina as always, her parents decided to take her to a zoo, that meant she would be surrounded by many people and their parents would be with her, so I let my guard down a bit, that would be one of the errors I would regret.
The ability of Meiko to camouflage like a human was to admire and the ability of Yuka to hide too, which, being surrounded by so many people make me not realize that they were close to Jurina, what made me realize the danger was that I couldn’t see Jurina anymore, her parents were looking for her everywhere, but no sign of her, I got on alert and started to look, I achieved to see her on the top of a small building that was a side of the zoo, Yuka was holding Jurina’s arms, and her gaze without showing any feelings, and Meiko at her side showing the same expression.
I could see Jurina’s face and how she said “Save me, Rena”
Without a second thought, I ran towards them, using my superhuman strength and speed to achieve stand in front of them.
“I will show you the fragility of human life, this is for your own good Rena, at least this way you will not feel the pain again in the future since you will know about it” Yuka said as she showed her fangs, Jurina looked so scared that she couldn’t even scream, her eyes watching the fangs of Yuka, which was as a predator prepared to give an accurate bite on the neck, on the other hand Meiko was between Yuka and I, making that I couldn’t get close to Yuka.
“Let her go Yuka! you don’t have to do this! it’s just a child!” I called trying to reason with her, my voice seemed to won the attention of Jurina which looked at me with hope “Don’t worry, I will save you” I said softer than how I talked with Yuka, in that moment I could see how Meiko was distracted, with my speed, which was better than Meiko, I ran to her giving a strong blow making her fly to the side.
Yuka seeing Meiko being beaten by me distracted her, but not enough, she took Jurina and dropped her to the ground, causing Jurina to hit her head on the ground, which she made only to could face me and protect herself from my blow, but seeing how she just let Jurina get hurt and see her on the ground just get my anger rise more than it already was.
Something that Yuka wasn’t expecting was to see how strong I was now, but something for which I wasn’t expecting was Jurina seeing me act in such violent way.
My anger had managed to bring out the worst in me, my eyes shining with a reddish tone and my fangs which were seen as a demonic beast, my strength was far greater than Yuka’s strength, I had her just to give her the final blow, but in that moment I could hear Jurina voice.
“Rena…” she said in a whisper, which didn’t go unnoticed by my ears, with a quick movement I turn to see her, but her expression said me that she was more scared than when Yuka had her, her small hands trembling and her eyes without stop looking at me, in that moment was when I realized how I must have looked at the time, I hid my fangs and calm down a bit to let my eyes return to normal, I tried to approach Jurina, but every step I took she took one back.
“Jurina, don’t go away, I will not hurt you” I assured with the way I normally talk to her, but it didn’t seem to work, Jurina was still afraid, until she hadn’t more place to step back, we were in the top of a building, and being afraid made her walk to the edge of it, “Jurina!” I yelled scared, Jurina was falling, I used all my strength and speed to reach the shore and jump, making me reach her before we hit the ground “Jurina, are you okay?” It was the first thing I could ask, but I could only feel how Jurina was shaking.
“You… you’re not an angel” I overheard her trembling voice, a little girl had seen a real one of these monsters which only are in fairy tales, Yuka was in front of me with a expression of understanding towards me.
“This is what I wanted to show you, this is what happens to everyone, we were not going to kill her, but perhaps you think all are as good as us?” Yuka said in a soft voice, Meiko at her side watching everything that happened.
They were right and I knew they were, it was something that would happen sooner or later, and it happened that was earlier than I thought, my reason for exist was afraid of me, instead of feeling safe in my arms, she was trembling…
“Jurina, I’m sorry, I’m not the angel who I wanted to be for you” I said in a soft voice, maybe the tears are no longer something that I can provide, but the sorrow and pain is something that I can still feel, and it seems Jurina felt it so, her hands moved to my face and her small thumbs mimed as if she removed my nonexistent tears from my eyes “I’m sorry I had scared you… as you say I’m not an angel”
Jurina didn’t say a word, she just watched me with those brown eyes as it was the first time I saw them, and similarly to that day she smiled at me.
“You’re very pretty to be bad, and you’re very pretty to be crying, and although I know you lied, I know too you love me so much…” she said in a soft voice, she wasn’t trembling anymore, for a 5 years little girl she was more mature than I would have imagined, but I had taken a decision.
“I’m sorry” I said again as I rested the palm of my hand on her little forehead “Maybe you will not remember me from now on… but I will always protect you” after my words Jurina fell asleep, I had erased all her memories of my existence.
If one day she came to remind me, it would be as a dream, which I hoped would be a beautiful dream.
From then I took more distance from her, and now I would not let any human know about me.
Jurina would don’t know anymore about me, it would be just a dream and not a memory, I can't be happy about that but still if I can protect her, it doesn't matter how much I can suffer, I just want her to be okay.
