STEFAN’S POV.The next day, I got ready for the 3-day vacation, which I knew it would never be the same, without Melissa. I had packed all my stuff, and dropped them in the trunk. Then I got a call from Alicia, and I answered it.“Good morning, boss.”“Morning.”“I am so sorry to ask you for this favor, but I would love it if you could help me, by giving me a ride to work. There is an issue with my bank, and I can’t seem to withdraw. I don’t have any cash, either.” She was annoying, and this was not the best time for her to pull any tricks on me, but I wouldn’t want my problem to be divided into two places, so it was best to just keep doing the little things for her that doesn’t require me to think too much.“Tell me your address.”“B…but you came to my house, the other day, all by yourself.”“Look. I came to your house, twice. One, you helped me under the rain when I was without my car, and I couldn’t tell where exactly you were taking me to. Secondly, I helped you by giving you a
MELISSA’S POV.My eyes widened in fear and shock for her.“Don’t move.” I said, hoping that would be a solution.“They look hungry. I am dead already.” Dawn said.Deep in my heart, I knew that it was already the end of her, but I wanted to encourage and instill confidence in her, before she was torn apart by the hungry wolves.“Please do not forget to relay my message to Theo.” She said, with tears, running down her cheeks.At that moment, I knew that there was no longer fear in her. She had accepted her fate that she was going to die, anytime soon.“I will tell him how you died, like a confident warrior. A warrior who warred against fear.” I said as a tear rolled down my right eye.And in a few seconds, the wolves snarled and pounced on her, tearing every bit of her into pieces, and she was no longer recognizable. This was so traumatizing to see, but I had to be strong in such a situation. I thought of Stefan, and how he would have felt, the moment he found out that I was nowhere to
MELISSA’S POV.“How do you know my name?” He asked, looking shocked.“Dawn told me.” I said, watching his reaction.“Dawn? Where is she?” He asked, with his eyes almost bulging out of his sockets.“Uhm… About that, do you really need to know? Is she very important to you?” I asked, trying to avoid telling him what had really happened. “Yeah, of course. I need to know. She mentioned my name to you. Where is she?”I sighed and regretted that I had talked about Dawn, immediately he was brought in.~flashback~“Tell him that I would love to meet him again, and in my next life. And he should be strong enough to wield swords that would fight against the pain of life, and that I believe that he would make it out of here. I am Dawn.”~back to reality~“You know, I think you had a great friend, and if you doubted that she cared about you, don’t anymore. Sometimes, words are bottled up for a reason, and you can’t blame that.”“What are you trying to say?” He asked as his voice broke down.“Da
MELISSA’S POV.>>>>>>>>>>>>>I woke up instantly. It was all a dream, and thankfully, the dream ended on a happy note. The only thing was that I still felt the fe
MELISSA’S POV.To my surprise, it was Stefan. I screamed in joy as I saw him. My joy knew no bounds, and I looked at Theo, too, in happiness. “Is that him?” Theo asked, and I nodded to confirm.Stefan charged at Michaelson, pinning his neck to the wall, but giving him space to speak.“I am sorry. I apologize, please set me free.” He pleaded.“Did no one tell you the kind of person I am, before you decided that you would take up this journey?” Stefan snarled, with a cold expression.“I was warned by my mother, but I felt that if anyone else could have the courage to come over to challenge you, then I can.”“And now, that courage has landed you in trouble. You shall face your death.”“Please, please do not kill me.” Michaelson pleaded.Then I noticed that Theo looked so shocked, and he was also in fear. Anyways, who wasn’t going to be scared, when faced with a werewolf? I was also scared, when I saw Stefan, change. But now, I wasn’t fazed by his appearance, anymore.“Do you know who o
STEFAN’S POV.“I don’t understand what you mean by that.” I said, trying to cover up my shock, and feign ignorance.Then Melissa moved closer to me, and sat on the side of the bed, like I did, and she placed her right hand on mine.“You know, I have seen how true you are, with the love you have for me, and you have proved it, a million times. So, I want to always give you the benefit of the doubt, and whenever you are having trouble, or there is a problem, I want us to always solve it together, without hiding a thing from each other.” She said, with a slight smile, but I was speechless.“Together, we can kick down a mountain, without breaking a sweat.” She added.“What do you want me to say?” I asked her.“I know that Alicia has been blackmailing you, but what I do not know is what she has against you. It can’t be the fact that you are a werewolf, or she would have run very far from you.”Then I sighed. “And you are certain that you won’t flare up if I tell you what happened, exactly
MELISSA’S POV.I stared into the dark, although I could still see, but I followed the heart beat of the person. If the person was scared, then I should have no fear. I made sure that I shouldn’t allow myself make movements that would make the person know I was nearby, but one thing I was certain I was getting closer to the person.Suddenly, a familiar scent, hit me. This was Layla’s scent, and I hoped it was her, so I wouldn’t mess up by speaking so soon. But there was only one way to know, which was calling out to her.“Layla?” I called out to her, softly.“Melissa? Is that you?” She asked.“Yes, yes, it’s me.” I said, excitedly.Then I heard a run off somewhere else to the sitting room, and then the lights turned on.“Its really you!” Layla said, happily.And we both hugged.“I have missed you so much. I hope you are okay? You didn’t sustain any injury, right?” I asked, worriedly.“No. Why would I sustain an injury?” Layla scoffed.“You know Michaelson snapped you out, that’s why I
STEFAN’S POV.I couldn’t let Melissa die. I knew there were different circumstances that we both went through, and anyone who heard of our story, would never think that we would come out alive. I was going to keep having that belief that we would always come out alive, and unscathed, out of every trouble.“Melissa! Please don’t do this to me!” Her instincts kicked in and she jumped up, ready to tear me apart. I had a feeling like she really wanted to eliminate me. I felt the same way, the last time, too. It was strange, because that wasn’t the way she felt about me, truly, and although, her wolf would want to kill me naturally, but this one seemed like there was more to it. But that wasn’t the issue now, she had gone wild, and was inflicting more poison in her body, with the way she moved around.I managed at every strike she tried to hit at me, to escape. I couldn’t let both of us to be poisoned. I fought with her, and at the same time, managed to keep myself from touching any of t
