I woke up with a sudden jolt coughing loudly as I waited. Not only for my breath to calm but for Damien to come in who I normally woke to but, he wasn’t there. I wonder where he was until I looked at the clock. Sighing silently as I saw the time 12:20 A.M. I calmly laid back down attempting to fall back asleep my attempt failing. I laid there silently listening to the wind blow outside my window. The vase of rose placed on my nightstand and my pet rat yuki were the only other living things in here. But yet I felt like I was being watched. I closed my eyes and began singing a song my nurse sang when I was crying to distract myself from the feeling.
“I don’t know what words I can say The wind has a way to talk to me Flowers sleep a silent lullaby I pray for reply I’m ready Quiet day calms me Oh serenity Someone please tell me...”
I continued singing as I heard the song in my head with swift movements I was out of bed and crouched protectively on the floor staring at the green eyed shadow. They stood quietly like a statue when I moved I could make out the figure of a young boy. He stood a little taller than me with jet black hair. It fell to his shoulders which were cover in white I let a hiss form in my throat as he took a step towards me I could see him clearer a number was printed on his chest. My eyes widened in fear as he removed a hand from his pocket, and opened it to reveal a black choker. I stared at him as I took it from his hand my eyes filled with questions on my blank face this boy seemed so familiar to me but who was he. He motioned for me to place it around my neck I obeyed and placed it there. I was unable to scream when it bore into my neck leaving a black ring in its place.
When I opened my eyes his face was inches from mine. In another swift movement he pressed his lips to mine making the strange mark burn. I gasped when he held my waist and whispered the same prophecy into my ears from my dream. That was when I realized I was the child born dammed and sinned. I knew he’d be returning for me just as soon as he came when he placed his index finger on my forehead. It began to glow a stunning green color as strange, unfamiliar words filled my mind. I couldn’t tell what they were but I had a feeling I could guess. When the glowing subsided the strange black haired and green eyed man stepped back. I began to speak he shook his head frowning. He didn’t seem like one to smile very often. When his name came to mind I stiffened. He was new to the list of people she knew; she’d never seen him before in her life. How I knew this man’s name was Adam I’d never know. As I began to ask for his name he was gone.
I awoke sharply the mark bore into my neck burning wildly. Yuki had become silent the squeaking of her wheel being ceased which meant morning. When I rolled to my side I launched from the bed. The black hair wild in contrast to my pillows made my mind jump to Adam, until I realized the scent and stood meeting Damien’s eyes. I remembered there was no school today so I slid back into my bed hoping for more sleep. As I did so I could feel Damien shift uneasily before he faced me. When he did I stared into the stunning amber eyes friend. He was petting yuki which surprised me because he usually avoided touching her after he had shifted into his cat form and tried killing her once.
"Damien..." my voice was weak and ragged,”something bad is going on isn’t there?"
He didn’t look at me as he spoke which was unusual even for his stubbornness. "Yes there is Sophia. And I fear you have to do with it…" he looked saddened by the thought. My heart clenched for him suddenly.
That’s when I realized he had greater feelings for me the just friends or a job. My thoughts raced as I ran the possibility of Damien being in love with me over and over inside my head. I shook my head and sighed I was in no way able to think this early when I was hungry. I waited for the burning pain to leave than I allowed my fangs to come out. Damien knew I was hungry as I hid my face in my hands he calmly pulled his hair from his neck. I looked at him with a look questioning his notions. I didn’t want to bite him but I was low on blood as it was. I had vowed not to drink the blood of a human until I knew how without being caught. When he gently nodded to me I smiled softly leaning into his neck. My fangs slid easily into his skin causing a small sound of pain to come from his throat. It startled me but I continued to take as much blood as I needed.
When I was finished I slowly pulled away wiping my mouth with the sleeve of my favorite black hooded sweatshirt. Damien then took me by surprise as he took my face into his hands and kissed me. He did it with so much passion it chilled me to the bone. The kiss quickly transpired to his hands running over every curve of my body waves of heat flowing from his hands. He continued to kiss me as he continued to move his hands. Every kiss became gentler then the last as his lips began to trail lower to my neck. As he kissed my neck his passionate kisses lead to even more that night I wasn’t sure what time we feel asleep that night but, I know that it had been the most amazing night of my life.
When I awoke the next morning I felt familiar warm arms around me. My mind remained clouded before I realized it was Damien a smile coming to my lips. I silently turned in his arms as he held me closer to him the warmth of his body against mine feeling just as good as it had last night.
"I love you my princess." He whispered as my favorite smile of his appeared on his face.
When I heard those words, I returned his smile with my own, "I love you too" I whispered before his lips met mine again.
When I tilted my head back as I rolled to my back his eyes widened at the black ring on my neck he was wordless.
"Damien is something wrong? Did I mess up somehow?" I asked, my mind still clouded from the night before.
Damien quickly shook his head, the motion made me feel strange. I suddenly felt weaker then normal after I had drunk. Suddenly my phone rang making me jump. As I sat up to look I pulled the sheets tighter around me. The text was from Kyo asking me to meet him in the park. I heard Damien’s jaws clamp shut his anger boiling again at Kyo. Looking at him I shut my phone off I didn’t want to leave my bed just yet. Not when someone so beautiful, someone so important to me wanted me where I was. I wrapped my arms around Damien’s neck as I sat in his lap. We began kissing again our dance in the sheets playing out just as it had the night before.
When I woke again late that night Damien was gone from my bed sending my heart sinking. When I got up and showered I let the water run down my body my mind wandering to my father and brother. Getting out I turned my cell phone back on I had six missed calls and fourteen texts all from Kyo. I responded by telling him that I had over slept apologizing sincerely in the process. He was quick to ask me to dinner though I regretted it said no. I didn’t feel bad, Damien my guardian since birth was now my lover. He protected me and sacrificed his life for me whenever it came down to it. Silently I pulled on my skirt with dark purple chains followed by my purple laced corset. I decided to go for a walk to clear my head and get some air. I quickly grabbed my keys and slid my cell in my pocket as I left locking my door as I did so.
I wondered where Damien had gone off to but I wasn’t going to let it bother me much. Somehow I knew Damien was the one screaming he vowed to protect me in my dreams. She knew they were now mated for life and that didn’t scare her. What scared her more was what would happen if she told her dad about Damien. She wouldn’t be able to stomach it if Damien was sentenced to death. As she walked she could smell a strangely familiar scent making the hair on the back of her neck stand. Adam was nearby and that made her on edge. She wasn’t going to have a peaceful night much longer as she turned a corner stopping when she came face to face with the man.
“What are you following me for?” I hissed the ice laced heavily in my voice. “You’re being careless Princess Volder.” He coddled sending chills down my back. “How am I being careless for walking around when I need air?” I spoke a frown decorating my features by now.
“Falling in love will only bring heart ache in the end. You’ll only end up leaving them when the time comes.” He chuckled stuffing his hands in his pockets. The cockiness of this man pissed me off like there was no holding me back. I knew he could tell as he smirked lightly. “Did I hit a nerve or something little princess?” He joked stepping toward me.
“Not in the least.” I hissed letting my guard come up as I stepped back. “Besides what does it matter to you if I fall in love or not?” I questioned curious of his answer. “If you fall in love it makes things harder during the ritual.” He said all emotion of laughter or teasing gone from his expression.
“I hate to tell you pretty boy but there’s no way in hell that I’d ever let anyone use me in a ritual. Even If I am the one born damned and sinned. You won’t get me anywhere with you that I can’t control. So run back to whoever you obey and piss off!” I growled clenching my fists.
Something in my gut told me my words were pointless but I didn’t care. Turning I headed for home my mind racing with dozens of questions. Shaking the thoughts when I reached my porch I walked in sighing lightly. Damien was there waiting for me. His feet padding softly when he hugged me tightly to him making me blush. I was ready for bed and so was he. When we went to bed that night his warmth soothed me and for the first time in years my dream was peaceful.
