Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

Chapter 11 - Mysterious Illness



Dr. Lyca was at a loss for words. Part of her wanted to believe Marceline's words. She even saw the video as proof of her claims. But part of her still could hardly believe that creatures like vampires and werewolves do exist in their world.

Meanwhile, Aunt Brianna had a different reaction from Lyca. She was not shaken by this discovery, instead she looked more curious about the man in the video.

Eighteen years ago, when Marceline was desperately telling everyone of what she had seen in the forest, no one believed her except Aunt Brianna.

This was the reason why Marceline became closer to her nanny and she started to trust her more than her relatives.

"Young Mistress, I will just prepare some breakfast for both of you. I believe you haven't eaten anything yet. You can continue talking here while I prepare your food," Aunt Brianna said, breaking the silence.

For now, she wanted to keep her thoughts about this incident. The most important thing for her was that Marceline was safe and sound. Nothing bad happened to her.

"Okay, Aunt Bri. Can you also ask someone to repair and fix the broken doors? Please contact the agency that installed the security lock and alarm. Everything got broken."

Aunt Brianna gave her a nod. "I got it. I will handle everything so you don't have to worry."

Marceline moved her gaze back to Lyca who was still in a trance. She rolled her eyes at her. It seemed that her Psychologist friend received a great shock today.

She was still trying to absorb everything. Marceline knew that this was unbelievable. But this strange phenomenon couldn't be explained by mere logic or present knowledge that they had about the world they were currently living in.

Marceline tapped Lyca's shoulder, pulling her out of her deep stupor.

"Wake up, Lyca. You can't lose your mind. It's hard for me to find another doctor whom I can fully trust."

Lyca arched her eyebrows because of Marceline's last remarks. "I knew it. You just care about your benefits, you cruel girl!"

Marceline just clicked her tongue, not denying it. She even flashed her wicked grin, teasing Lyca more.

"Celeste! Don't give me that kind of smile. It's creeping me out." Lyca preferred to call her Celeste rather than Marceline, especially when she was annoyed by her friend.

Marceline just shrugged her shoulders and stood up.

"Hey, where are you going?" Lyca also stood up, following Marceline.

"I'm gonna take a bath first. You can come and wait for me in my study."

The two ladies went upstairs. Marceline stepped into her bathroom while Lyca proceeded to her study.

Inside that small room, Lyca saw different books about werewolves. She knew it. Her friend was so obsessed with werewolves. It was all because of what happened in her past.

She collected different books about wolves and werewolves. She didn't stop investigating and studying about their kinds. For Marceline, werewolves were the ones responsible for the death of her parents.

Now that another creature had appeared, Marceline would not stop until she proved to the world the existence of those supernatural creatures.

Furthermore, Marceline wanted to avenge her parents' death. She was still trying to unfold the truth about what happened to her family eighteen years ago.

She wanted to know why they were being chased by people she didn't know. From whom her parents were trying to protect her? She had so many unanswered questions.

For the past few years, she didn't make any progress with her investigation. But with Kira's sudden appearance, she saw the slightest hope. Marceline had this feeling that she would be able to find the answer soon.

"I need him. I need to find him. He might know something about werewolves." Marceline mumbled to herself as she watched her reflection in the mirror.

She tilted her head, checking her neck. Marceline frowned as she noticed that Kira's bite mark was slowly fading.

'No. It should not disappear… Damn! I should have taken a picture of it.' Marceline smacked her forehead.

Feeling annoyed to herself, Marceline finished her shower quickly. She headed to her study room after putting some clothes on.

Lyca was already reading some books when she entered the room. "Whoa, that's so quick. You are done already."

Marceline just gave her a simple nod before sitting on the couch beside Lyca.

"Celeste…" Lyca glanced at her as she put down the book she was reading previously.

"Hmm?"

"I am just wondering…"

"Wondering about what?" Marceline probed, lifting an eyebrow.

"You said you were about to interrogate the man and make him talk. However, he was able to break free and started to approach you. He pushed you on the wall and then… your memory stopped there…" Lyca enumerated the sequence of events Marceline had told her a while ago as if she was analyzing something.

"Yes, that's true. Why did you ask?"

"What if… your illness suddenly started acting out at that time… Remember, if you experience Black-out, you don't usually remember what happens after waking up."

Marceline's body stiffened at the mention of her illness. She had this kind of mysterious illness that only the three of them were aware of- Lyca, Aunt Brianna, and her.

It began when she reached the age of 18. There was a time she just found herself lying naked in the middle of the forest, near the ancestral mansion.

It didn't only happen once. It repeated several times. She couldn't recall anything after waking up.

One time, while she was on her business trip, her mysterious illness acted out. According to her colleagues, she began acting strangely like a completely different person.

She started flirting with the male colleagues as if she was seducing them. She kept complaining that she felt so hot that she wanted to make out with them just to feel better.

She found her target that night after the team dinner- a handsome young director of their company. She grabbed him in her room.

Her colleagues thought the two of them would end up having sex. But to their surprise, the handsome young director ended up being admitted to the hospital. His body was badly beaten up. The young director resigned after that incident.

Later on, Aunt Brianna and Dr. Lyca found out that Marceline became aggressive when the man tried to touch her and force her.

She told the man that he was not the guy she was looking for so she asked him to leave but the man insisted on staying and doing the deed with her. Marceline got furious so she beat him, teaching him a lesson.

Ever since that day, Marceline started to seek help from a psychologist for her inexplicable behavior. Her mysterious illness always happens once every two months.

Lyca and Aunt Brianna were helping her to cope up with this illness. Marceline was very careful not to leave her house or meet people when her illness was about to act out.

Sometimes she would feel an intense desire and lust over a man.. But for some unknown reason, she would also find herself unable to do the deed with any other men as if she was looking for the right guy, her match.
