The ride to the art studio is too silent and too suspenseful for me. I had to turn my phone off as it had blown up the second Martin's realized I wasn't nearby. I didn't even had a chance to say goodbye. The knowledge of what I was going to do to Drew . to my friends, it devastated me but I had no choice. I couldn't risk the life of my aunt any longer by waiting and plotting . I had to act accordingly. Jer and I were always close but now he became closer than ever. He trusted me to make right decision and was my partner in crime, literally. We weren't connected by blood , but by bond. It was the kind of bond that never breaks. Just like my bond with Drew. Car's engine shuts off. I take a breath and get out, Jer following my lead. "Wait!" I say to Jer. "What?" "You are not going." I state, I couldn't risk the life of another person, let alone my closed one. "No. You are not going alone." He deadpans "You have to stay back. Incase, aunt Sara comes out before me and if he uses me a
Shine. I see a ray of light at first, and then in a second, my eyes open. I take in the scene before me . My family, my aunt Sara lying on the floor as Charlie checks her, all of the family surrounding her and Jer stands nearby, Drew sitting by my side, his face between his hands and he is curled up. I close my eyes and open them again and then it all hits me. The reality and what happened. I get up in whoosh, alarming Drew.He stands before me and I look at him to see his eyes filled with sorrow. I turn and I see Jer, he doen't even meets my eys and looks at the ground. I look at my aunt , she is lying so still. No. No. No. NO! It can't be. No. please, no. God, don't take her. My tears start flowing as it all clicks . Drew hugs me and I snuggle deeper into him. I cry, and let out horrible screams and I feel the ground shake. Everybody looks at Drew and Jer gets alarmed. " Hey baby, please don't break like that. Please, try to control yourself. I can't bear to look at you like that.
I wake up and follow my usual routine and go downstairs to greet Aunt Sara. I pause midstep when I realise that she is no more. A wave of sadness hits me. Then I remember that Drew was supposed to be with me , He was staying with me. I look around to see any signs of Drew but he is nowhere to be found. I panic. My thoughts are scrambled and full of what ifs? What if he's gone too? What if he left me? No. It can't be . He is here. I am just being paranoid. He would never leave me. He is not that type of guy. The door opens , forcing me to look at it. I see Drew shaking the umbrella . He gets inside and takes one look at me and then he rushes towards me. He takes my face in his hands and kisses my head . He asks me," What happened?" "Where were you?" I ask him . My voice filled with panic."Outside." He says. "I thought you lef-" " No. Don't think like that. I would never leave you. I am here. It's alright. You are alright." He says and goes inside the kitchen. "Now stop overthin
Those words still echo in my mind . Those words, that changed my whole brain chemistry. "Excuse me?!" I all but yell at that man. My grip visibly tightens on Drew's hands, based by his expressions. The whole framily looks flabbergasted . "I know you don't know and don't trust me. And it's good and I admire that but please give me a chance to explain. Whole my life, I had thought that I lost you . I thought you were dead . But, now that I can see you with my own eyes," He shakes his head,"You look just like her. The resemblance is so uncanny. " The man says so genuinely that it makes me want to allow him but I wait . "I am sorry for interpting, but how?" Drew asks him. "I got this letter from a vampire, named Vincent or something. I probably have had met him once or twice times so I opened it and there he claimed that my daughter, my only child is alive and I got this hope and I wanted to see for myself." He says and looks at me with soft eyes and smiles. Drew tenses when he hears
I slowly look around and my eyes meet Drew , I nod and sit back. I look at the man standing before me. Correction, king Johnathon, no, my father, whatever. I look at him and his general brings a chair and sits down ,in front of me. " I know you have plenty of questions. Go ahead." He says and I say the first thing that comes to my mind. " How did you do that?" I ask him curiously and he chuckles. "That was not what I thought your first question would be but okay. I have this special ability because I bonded with your mother on the wedding day. It is a ritual which ables you to share your abilities wih your other half. I just used my power and traveled in your sub- consciousness and simply showed you my memories that I share with you that human brain can't remember or doesn't notices. Anything else?" He asks me with a grin. I nod and ask," My -My aunt told me that my parents were friends with your wife and she died because of some complications but you said that she was killed. What
Andrew's POV: I get my car out of the driveway and wait for Ana to come. I lean back and take a breath. These last few days have not gone as I would've liked . They were chaotic . Utter chaos. I learned some new things about Ana too. Turns out she is 'The Princess' after all. The missing royal who was assumed dead until now. I wish we never knew that bit of information . That way we atleast could've got a few days without any drama , just stayed together but alas. You don't know how I felt when the king was about take her with him. I felt broken , like a piece of life was being stolen from me. I completely lashed out. I didn't even knew that I could feel something like that. The door shuts and Ana sits inside. She looks out and waves to my family. They all are outside and Alex is not kissing Jasper , for starters. That's unusual. I see a few tears in mom's eyes . What is up with them? They all are acting quite differently today. They should be happy that Ana is not leaving. Did some
ANDREW'S POV: We both are done with dinner but I can't but feel that Ana is hiding something . She has been acting strangely weird since the dinner . Maybe , it's all in my head . Yeah , it must be because I haven't fed since yesterday . I need blood , food isn't satiable right now . I take Ana's hand in mine and take her to her room so she can rest after such a long day. We lock the house for Ana's safety and I could always leave through her windows. We reach her room and I kiss her forehead planning to leave from her bedroom window but Ana grips my forearm pulling me towards her . "Where are you going ?" She asks me . "To feed . The food isn't quite meeting my energy requirement so I need some blood." I reply, hands in my pockets. "Last I checked I am a human and I have plenty of blood in me so go at it if you want to but please don't go. " She says and even though my brain is yelling for me to go but my stubborn, stubborn heart melts by seeing the look on her face . "Are you s
Ana's POV:I turn and I force myself to open my eyes. I check the time on my phone and get up . I wish I could just lie here with him all day , all night , even my whole life but that's just how it is supposed to be. I hug myself and try to find my clothes. God , why is it so cold right now? I search under my bed to find my top but I find myself looking at the shreds of the shirts , all teared . How did my shirt tore? Oh,yeah. Drew did that. My cheeks heat up at the memory of last night. I was so close to losing my virginity to the man I love the most. I almost caved and went through with it but the thought of leaving him was enough to make me think otherwise. I don't want my first time with him to be a pity fuck or a goodbye fuck. I want it to be meaningful , something nice and ever lasting. I had to stop him before it got to the point of no return and he immediately stopped and pulled back when I asked him to stop. Just like a gentleman, at first I thought he would be angry like most
