The woman gapes at me wide eyed her mouth half open, half in amazement, yet her acting held sympathy. She didn't understand, how could she? I was the one that was trapped here, I was trapped in the chaos of my mind, trapped in a reality that I could never escaped from. In actuality, this could never be reality, this was a nightmare that I won't wake from, no matter how hard I tried. If this was reality, then where was hope? She moved slowly, tediously being careful with the cotton as she attempted to clean the bruises against my cheeks, before moving to the larger abrasions and cuts along my arm and leg. I hissed, as the alcohol soaked into one of the wounds, as her hand moved in circular motions from the cuts outward. Next she moved to the ones on my neck. I had half the mind the hit her across the head and hop off the bed when she pushed against one of my cuts. I whined, pushing her away from me but she quickly tightened her grip. Dammit! The nurse stood back surveying whether or
I found myself walking back through the garden, the same rose garden that Belle often sat reading a book. The same garden she'd often disappeared to when she spent her first few days here. It was exhausting having to find her everyday, the first few robbing me of so much energy, I'd sworn it wasn't worth it after thinking she might've run away. The thought of her escaping constantly plagued my mind and that made me ever hesitant to leave. I'd feared returning and finding her gone. I wasn't fearful because I was attached, no that formed much later, too late actually. I'd thought of Belle as a capture, a prisoner to be held here. A sacrifice of her people for the greater good. For them at least. I knew she didn't want to live here, she wanted to be with her family; her own kind and I knew despite my attempts, her contempt for me would only grow. It did nothing then in the past few days or weeks to follow, to change my mind. I spent no time with her, residing myself to my study or room,
For a moment by own voice surprises me but I had every reason to be flustered and well past suspicious. Something was wrong with this senario, something was wrong with the woman upstairs. Not mentally, she was fine-almost mentally but everything else about her wasn't. Everything screamed belle and that was impossible. That is all, you may leave now Her words kept replaying in my head as I stood before my brother and Luke. They didn't understand, they didn't see things the way I did. There was no way that woman could be belle, was it? Hayden pulled his feet from the top of the desk but proceeded to keep leaning back comfortably in his chair. These were one of the qualities I hated but yet envied that I didn't have. His undying love for not seeing everything as threatening. His lais back behaviour would one day be the death of him. "She's your mate," He deadpanned, gazing straight into my eyes before bursting into laughter. "You should see your face at my admission." "Cease the ri
Poke! Poke! Poke! Poke! I groanedPoke again. This insufferable woman just won't take a hint. Dammit! "When are you going to stop touching me and go away?" I mumbled frustrated with the vampire that didn't seem to get the gist that I had no interest in paying her even a dime of attention. She feigned hurt at my words, forcing me to roll my eyes. Ever since our last conversation she had me following pee pee, cluck cluck behind her every move like some body guard, or doing the most ridiculous things like only moments ago. I counted a total of twenty stores, minus the shoes ones we entered, all of which she had to get something from. All of which were antique that seemed to be ripped for an century old news paper drawing. She didn't need me for this and the witch knew it. But she was a creature of the night and misery, especially mine seem to fuel her energy. I couldn't wait to be rid of the lot of them once and for all. "I'm starting to think you don't like me Thomas, aren't
"Don't you ever tire of sitting in here on your own?" I asked the human, that sat in the shadows of the garden immersed in her book. She was the only non-vampire here, the sacrifice that the humans had offered up to be my mate. The first few weeks, she had locked herself inside her room refusing to speak with anyone. Hayden had often complained of hearing her crying, finding the erratic beating of her heart a nuisance, especially since no one bothered to pay her any special attention. But for the last few days, this was where she decided to reside herself. Inside a small garden just beneath her window, her hair dancing slowly in the sun. Belle closed her book slowly, glancing at me a smile on her face and like our encounters before today, I felt something stir again. Why? I haven't figure it out and what? Well I was still learning. "Well now that you're here, I'm not exactly alone am I? "I glanced back at the house, asking myself why I had chosen to take a break now? I already kn
I grabbed the bag a little tighter, attempting not to change my mind. Emotions weren't supposed to be forced. I was supposed to like her. I did find a few qualities of hers to be attractive. Belle was a beautiful woman. If she hadn't been given to me, I was sure she might have been engaged to a proper suitor by now. Weeks had passed after our argument in my study, we've oft met on the staircase going our separate ways, the look of boredom becoming more prominent in her eyes everyday. Apart from the constant teasing from my brother, no one else spoke with her. Not even me. I didn't think I'd end up avoiding her, in my eyes she was nothing more than a human, the small possession of exchange between our races to keep my agreement in check. I hadn't thought about her feelings or what she would have wanted. I didn't expect that she would have liked us in any way. In the last few days, she hasn't left her room, nor ventured near the garden. The idea slightly disturbed me. Knowing she was u
I paved the never ending halls back and forth, my mind in turmoil as I thought about Yuuki. Frustrated I kicked at the wall nearest to me without thinking whether someone close would hear. I just couldn't get it! Why couldn't I find her? Where did the damn vampires take her? My fists beat against the wall before I laid my head against the marble structure. Was she okay? Was she eating?Happy?We're they hurting her? Did they find out she was a Chancey? "Dammit!" I cursed in the air around me. I promised her I'd find her, I promised her that I'd keep her safe, I promised her that she wouldn't be alone any more. No one knew Yuuki's secret except me. No one knew how afraid of the dark and being alone again she felt. She was terrified. Bypassing her ragged exterior Yuuki didn't have the heart to survive a rough world. The horrors we saw every day still came as a surprise to her. Whenever wanted to believe that any of this crappy situation was real. But survive was all we could do. My
I'm not sure how many days have gone by since I've been here. The sun moves, going around like a clock, rising and setting with me at the same place, in the same position. I'm lonely, distraught and terrified. I want to leave. I want Thomas to find me, but I'm trapped. I'm trapped in a room he'll never find, surrounded by monster he'll never have a chance of surviving with. Was Thomas still looking for me anymore? How long has it been since I was here?I barely ate. Too afraid they'll poison it. The girl that attacked me never came back. My food was always left outside my door in the mornings followed by the stupid bucket and mop. I cleaned to keep my mind busy. My hand reached up touching the stupid cloth on my face. I really hated it, but the fear of Hades walking in and seeing me without it, kept it there. I didn't want him to punish me. I was just tired. My ears perked up hearing loud screams. Something I wasn't accustomed to. Normally the estate was so quiet, you'd hear a pi
