05: Sleeping For Three Months!

DABRIA'S POV:-

A FEW YEARS LATER:-

I opened my eyes again and looked around. I lazily sat up on my comfy bed. Zar raised his head as soon as he saw me awake. He snuggled up with me and started licking my cheek. I smiled widely. It felt like he was worried about me. I patted his head and kissed his forehead. "I can't remember what happened. Do you know what happened? I just remembered a tall man in a tuxedo. He dragged me away. I can't remember what happened then." I asked Zar in a low tone, hoping he would answer me. I was just a fool. Expecting my pet wolf to tell me what happened to me. Or maybe I was just tired.

I heard a light knock on the door of my bedroom. I turned my head towards the door and found dad standing at the door. He had this proud smile on his face. And a hint of concern in his eyes. His eyes were staring at me. As if he was inspecting my body for any kind of pain or something. I just didn't understand what was going on. He walked towards me and sat down on the bed beside me. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer to his chest. As confused I really was, I still didn't mind that hug. Ever since I opened my eyes, I felt freezing. Which was near to impossible. As I was finally a vampire.

I buried my face in his chest and let his warmth engulf me. Of course, it was not the same warmth as the light of the sun I loved to feel on my face when I was not a vampire. But it was better. It felt better. Maybe a father's hug is always this warm. It doesn't matter if your father was a vampire. "How is my little baby? How are you feeling? Are you hungry? Are you hurt? Tell me, my baby." He asked me in a low tone while rubbing his hand on my back. I heard a low growl and pulled away from my father. We both looked at Zar who whimpered as he covered my cold legs with his warm body. It felt heavenly. 

His fur was warmer than the light of the sun. And definitely so soft on my skin. I wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him from behind. "I am fine, dad. I just feel super exhausted. And I feel cold for some reason. Aside from that, I am fine. I am not hungry. I just want to lay back down on my bed and fall asleep again." I replied to dad in a low tone. I giggled while replying to my dad. Zar was licking my arms. And it tickled so much. It looked like he was in the mood to play with me. But I was too exhausted to even crawl out of my bed. So I just snuggled up with him.

With a confused frown on my face, I turned my head towards my dad to look in his eyes. "I can't remember what happened to me. It is the first time it feels this weird. I feel my whole body exhausted as if I had been fighting a battle. But I can't remember anything. I can only remember that I was playing with Zar. Then a tall man came from behind. His eyes were red. Then he abducted me. That's all I can remember. Do you know what happened?" I asked my dad in a low tone while stroking Zar's fur lightly with the tips of my fingers. He loved it whenever I did that. He would even give me kisses. It was his way to thank me.

"Honey! Right now, you are just too exhausted. How about, you rest until you feel better. I will tell you everything once you are better. Right now, all you need to know is that you are safe now and it's over. I am glad Zar is always with him. He protects you exactly the way Zeus used to protect you. He didn't leave you alone for a second in these three months." My dad replied to me in a low tone while patting Zar's fur. But his response made me very confused. I had no idea it was months ago when I was abducted. It actually felt like an hour ago I was abducted. And then, I woke up again, completely exhausted.

"Dad! Please! I don't want to hear anything about him anymore. I know I can never move on from whatever he did to me. But it still hurts so bad. Please, don't mention his name again in front of me. Tell me what do you mean by Zar didn't leave me in three months? What is going on? What are you not telling me?" I pleaded with my dad not to mention anything about Zeus. I didn't even want to hear anyone mentioning his name in front of me. It had been years since he hurt me so badly. The wounds he gave me were on my heart. And the more time passed, the more they were hurting me. Time just doesn't heal all the wounds. 

He nodded his head slowly as he heard my painful pleas. Then I asked him about the three months he just mentioned. It was confusing that I had been sleeping for three months but I couldn't feel like I missed this much time. "It is all complicated. It's better if you sleep for now. We will talk about it later. Lay back down and get rest. I promise you that I will tell you everything once you are feeling better. Just don't worry about anything anymore. You are safe now. And everything is going to be better in our lives." I smiled widely as he told me that everything was fine. Seeing his relieved smile, I couldn't help but feel relieved from the inside. I noticed something different about him. But I couldn't understand what. 

I nodded my head and laid back down on the bed. Zar quickly snuggled up with me. I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him tightly. Dad covered both of our bodies with the warm comforter. He turned off the lights and walked out of my bedroom. I closed my eyes and let myself slip into my dreamland.
