Death is peaceful. Death is calm. Death smells like cherry blossoms.
Wait!
"Fuck, I cannot even get this right."
As I slowly open my eyes, I see what I suspected. I am very much alive; I tragically missed my heart by inches. Some will say it is luck, I, I say I am cursed. While Edward and Elloise seem to be relieved, I am slightly annoyed that I cannot accomplish one simple thing, such as dying. Yes, I do sound like a Vampire that is trying to commit suicide, which by all fairness is impossible. Maybe next time, I should consider asking someone else to kill me, or just not try to do it at all.
While it takes me a few minutes to retract the Ancient blade from my chest, it need not take me a second to see that my dear Anastasia is still very much deceased. Her frail body is lying next to me, and there is no sight of movement at all. Dare I even try to drive this dagger through my heart again? Guess in a way, we are like Romeo and Juliet, only Romeo is not d
If I were not a Vampire, I would consider myself as sleeping. At the other end of this call, I have a very pissed off lady asking me why I locked her in a catacomb. I am for certain that when I left her there, she was very much dead indeed.So with the phone still held firmly to my ear, I run out of the house and very speedily bring my car to a roaring start. I need to get to her; I need to see that she is real.And as I come to a screeching halt, there right in front of me, she stands in all her glory. There is no doubt that at the entrance of the catacomb, my Anastasia is standing and patiently waiting for me.I rush toward her; there is no doubt, I am not dreaming. She looks at me rather frustrated, "Can you please get me out of here, its smells like a bunch of dead Vampires.I unlock the gate, and in an instant, she leaps into my arms. "Sebastian, you have no idea how much I have missed you." I hold her as tight as I can, squeezing her so hard that sh
I watch in silence as this terrifying moment plays off in front of me. I have never in my Vampire years encountered such a thing. I guess this is the result of playing with a power that one does not know of. It is unpredictable. Most of all, it is dangerous. It is something that we have not taken with the seriousness that it deserves.This is not fair on the Vampire Hunter. He has innocently lived his life without any knowledge of the powers we were playing with. To have him suffer the consequences is unjust. Watching the pain that he is suffering brings a sting to my heart. Yes, the pesky little man can get under my skin. But this is not something I would wish upon him.My beloved has just informed him of his fate. There is nothing as horrifying to hear that you are staring in your face the end of your life. Yes, the man is half Vampire, but not enough to make him survive. I know that in just a few hours, the inevitable shall happen. It will tear my beloved apart.
…Anastasia POV… Sebastian and I are standing in the kitchen while Elloise is keeping an eye over Zachariah. I move towards him, slide my arms on his waist, and chuck my hands in his back pockets. He looks at me with a sweet smile on his face. He loves it when I touch him so intimately, as he calls it. Yes, there is the danger of someone dying, but we can, in the depths of deep darkness, still express our love for each other. He slowly lowers his head and rests his lips softly against mine; from under his breath, he softly whispers, "I love you." It brings butterflies to my stomach every time he says it, "And I love you even more than I did a moment ago." "Well, that cannot even near to be possible, for a moment ago, it was me loving you more." "Always the wise ass. Now, do you think that we shall be able to enjoy some quiet time after this ordeal?" "Now that is something that we definitely can seek. But our first point of business, wha
…Anastasia POV… I have never been to Paris, never have I thought that I would find myself walking through a city of lovers looking for my very own love. It is by pure fate that we do find ourselves here, or should I say luck? Locating one of Elloise's lovers was easy, for she had so many, and almost every one of them told us the same, if she had a man that she loves with her, this is where she would take him. In a city with millions, where do we even start? He can be in any of these thousands and thousands of buildings with these hundreds and hundreds of rooms. With total disappear, I look at Edward, who holds very much the same feeling, "Edward, where do we even begin? Did this man not say where she would go?" "I am afraid that he did not have much to say but give a location." Feeling defeated, I sit down at a little bistro; as I look over the beauty of the city, I cannot help but stare at the hundreds of lovers holding hands, happily sharing
It has been three weeks, six days, and nineteen hours. We find ourselves in Sweden. Elloise has taken me from one country to the next across Europe in an attempt to keep me away from Anastasia. Though I do believe that this is starting to prove futile. After a call from one of her ex-lovers, we packed up our lives once again to board a flight for what seemed to feel like endless hours. So here I find myself in my own silence. “My beloved, I am writing this to you from the silence of my hotel room. It appears that you are following my breadcrumbs. It gives me great joy to know that the letters that I have left for you to find were not left behind in vain. There have been so many times that I feared that they would never reach you. It aches right to my very bone every time I think that I will simply disappear and never see you again. With great agony, I have imagined spending my life alone until finally dying of a broken heart in some corner of
It seems that my eyes might be deceiving me once again, for I could have sworn that I did see Anastasia stand across the crowd from me. So without having to even reconsider, I stand from my seat and head in the direction, but even before I get two steps away, she calls for me to come back."Now, where do you think you are going?""A walk Elloise, I want to go for a walk. My legs are feeling uncomfortably stiff from sitting here. Now, do you think you can loosen the spell in order for me to take a stroll?"I watch her with intent as she decides if she should take the risk and allow me to walk even further away from her reach. "Fair well, but don't let me regret it," she says as she gives in; I secretly smile to myself at the small victory that I have won.She shall now, of course, tighten the spell so that it will keep me in her grasp. She has been hoping that by now I would have wanted to stay with her without having the need to cast the spell that keeps me by her side.
I have been waiting for this moment for far too long, and the pleasure it is bringing to my very bones is near that of sexual satisfaction. Not truly, but there is nothing so satisfying than the dumbfounded expression on Elloise's face. Her face has gone from that awful pink, I truly need to understand why she is consumed with pink before her existence is brought to an end, but that is a story for later. Her face is as pale as the snow covering the peaks of the Alps.But before she can ask me once more what it is that I mean by my words, I watch as my dear little Vampire Hunter, who is only but for a few inches, presses the Ancient blade into her side. Her voice hitch, and her entire body stiffens. She drops the cup of tea that she has been sipping on. In a total surprise, she looks at me."Oh, my dear Elloise, you do need to be careful what you wish for. You of all know that you should not tempt fate. Well, my dear, fate has come to take a rather large chunk of your f
I might have said this before, and I shall say it once again. Life is defined by a series of moments; whether they are good in nature or bad in kind, these shall define you as the person you are or the outcome of your life. Now, what have these four weeks brought to my life that can possibly make it better in any way, for they should indeed be one of the most awful times that I have known in my Vampire life, and I shall even go as far as in saying my human one too? Yes, I have seen great beauty and treasures that I have never known there to be, and I can truly say if she did not drag me to the ends of the world, I would have never even thought to come to know of them. The best part, the part that brings great pleasure to my heart, is that I have grown so incredibly close to my beloved. This, though, is not the only thing that has captured my heart, but that three people, especially our Vampire Hunter, has gone to incredible lengths to find me, such an old fool with nothing b
