Aethelfrith's POV
"A package is here for you" Leon shouted all the way from downstairs. I left my room, went downstairs to see what this package is all about."What's in the package?" I asked Leon"I wouldn't know, I haven't opened the package" Leon said, he opened the package. It was big picture frame, The picture on the frame was taken during my mom's anniversary. It was taken in the kitchen but I don't remember anyone apart from I and Tryamon in the kitchen. The picture shows us backing the camera."It's beautiful" Leon said still admiring the frame."It is but I don't recall anyone apart from the two of us in the kitchen that evening" I said still confused."Meaning you know her?" Leon asked"I don't really know her, I didn't even get to see her face but her voice was beautiful" I said to Leon remembering that evening and her."Do you like her?" Leon asked."How can I like someone I don't even know?" I asked back"There is a note at the back of the frame" Leon said handing the note to me."Hi mr vampire, It's a beautiful piece, keep it well" I read the note out"Just that?" Leon asked"Yep just that" I said to him"How did she know you are a vampire? And how does she even know our home address?" Leon asked."Even I don't know that," I replied to Leon's question."Tell me about her and I Shall find her for you dear brother." Leon suggested."Her voice was beautiful, she had a beautiful tattoo with a strange writing underneath it" I explain to him"Is that all? Like what did you sense when you were around her?." Leon asked."She isn't human neither is she a vampire, what I sensed was really strong, her powers were strong have never sensed anything like it before." I explained More to him."Is there anything or anyway of the way she spoke" Leon aksed."No, nothing of that but she was actually very fast cause even you didn't see her at the door that evening." I said to him."And yes, ever since that evening, she has appeared in my dreams. It's like my dreams are being manipulated or something." I paused for a while to think carefully."And of course in that dream there is something about her I can't place my hands on" I explained to him."What is she then?" Leon asked."You are asking me? ,How can I know that" I asked him back"I wasn't talking to you, I was obviously talking to myself." Leon backlashed at me."Sorry" I apologized"Stay away from her and also try to manipulate your own dreams from now on." Leon said pacing the room."I think her name is Tryamon, someone called her that" I said to Leon."That will be enough to look for her but I also need her scent. Aethelfrith think what did she scent like" Leon put his hands on both my shoulders.I tried to recall the scent of Tryamon, the mysterious woman from the photograph and from my dreams. I closed his eyes, focusing on the memories, and tried to describe it to Leon."It was a delicate scent, something floral but with a hint of something exotic," I began. "There was a sweet fragrance, like jasmine or roses, but there was also an underlying earthiness, like sandalwood or patchouli. It was a unique blend, unlike any scent I've encountered before."Leon nodded, taking in the description."That's a good start. A distinct scent like that might help us track her down. We can visit different places, talk to people, and see if anyone recognizes her or knows of someone who matches her description."Leon said to me.I nodded in agreement, feeling a renewed sense of purpose. "Yes, let's do that. I can't shake off the feeling that there's more to this connection I have with Tryamon. I need to find out who she is and what she means to me." I said to Leon.Leon placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder."We'll figure it out together, brother. We'll follow every lead, explore every possibility until we find her. And when we do, we'll unravel the mystery surrounding her and your dreams." Leon assured me."Sure, thanks brother" I thanked Leon"Let's go get that ice cream" Leon suggested"Sure, the first one to get to the car pays" I said then hasten my speed."Am driving" said LeonAnd of course I got to the car before Leon he drove to the ice cream parlorAs we drove to the ice cream parlor, my mind was filled with thoughts of Tryamon and the puzzle she presented. I couldn't help but wonder about the extent of her powers and what her connection to me meant. The idea of finding her and uncovering the truth both excited and unnerved me.Once we arrived, we entered the parlor and both I and Leon ordered our favorite flavors of ice cream at the parlor. I opted for a scoop of rich chocolate fudge, while Leon went for a combination of sweet vanilla and tangy raspberry swirl.We took our sit to enjoy our ice cream."So, Aethelfrith, have you ever considered getting a new car?" Leon asked, taking a bite of his ice cream. I chuckled."You know me, Leon. I'm quite fond of my vintage ride. Besides, it has character, just like me." I said with pride. "Ah, yes, your beloved vintage car. The one that always gives us an adventure, whether we want it or not." Leon grinned mischievouslyWe both laughed, reminiscing about the unexpected situations my car had gotten us into over the years."Speaking of adventures," I continued,"have you been keeping an eye out for a potential mate? It's about time you found someone to share eternity with." I said to Leon looking for what he has to say.Leon sighed, a hint of wistfulness in his voice."I must admit, Aethelfrith, finding a true companion is something that lingers in the back of my mind.But it's not an easy task, you know. I want someone who understands our world and can stand by our side, through the darkness and the light." I was truly surprised by Leon's answer.I nodded in understanding."I know, brother. It's not easy to find someone who can accept all that we are. But don't lose hope. Love has a way of finding us when we least expect it." Leon smiled, grateful for my comforting words."You're right, as always. I'll keep my heart open to the possibilities." Said Leonour conversation continued, delving into stories of past encounters, humorous anecdotes, and dreams of finding that special someone.we were enjoying the evening. when I perceived that same scent again. The scent of something like Jasmine or Rose and patchouli, floral and the others I couldn't quite explain.I could sense her smell, I could hear her laugh at this point it felt as if all my senses were heightened."Bro, are you okay" I felt Leon touch my arm."She is here," I said to him.Aethelfrith's POV"She is here," I said to Leon."Who is here?" Leon asked as he moved closer to me."Tryamon," I said to Leon."How do you know that?" Leon asked, surprised."I can smell her, I can hear her talk and laugh." I told Leon.Without a second thought,I excused myself from the table and approached Tryamon. As I got closer, I noticed the same beautiful tattoo on her arm, just as I had seen in the picture, in my dreams and when I met her in the kitchen that evening"Tryamon?" I called out softly, unsure if it was really her.Tryamon turned toward me, her eyes meeting mine with a mix of surprise and curiosity. She recognized me, the man whose dreams she has been manipulating, but she hadn't expected to see me in person."Aethelfrith," she whispered, a smile playing on her lips. "I never thought we would meet like this." She smirked.I couldn't help but smile in return, relief washing over me. The connection I had felt was real, and now, finally, we stood face to face.As Tryam
Tryamon's POV"Aethelfrith, what a captivating name for a captivating vampire" I said to Bella, still sipping my wine."Who's that?" Bella asked curiously."The half blooded vampire I met at the death anniversary dinner yesterday" I told her.Bella raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued by my statement. She leaned in closer, her eyes shining with curiosity. "Tell me more, Tryamon," she urged.I took another sip of my wine, savoring the rich flavors before continuing. "Aethelfrith is unlike any vampire I've encountered before," I began, a hint of excitement in my voice. "His presence commanded attention from the moment he walked into the room. He exuded an air of mystery and allure."Bella's interest grew, and she leaned even closer, her eyes widening. "What was he like?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper."I didn't really see his face,he was behind me the whole time" I whispered to her.I"I want him," I announced outloud."Just like that?" Bella asked with confusion written all
Aethelfrith's POV"Should I call her, should I not call her" I contemplated to myself while plucking out the flowers in the garden."You have been doing this for hours" Leon said with anger and frustration evident in his voice.I glanced up from my task, a small smile playing on my lips. "Patience, Leon. Patience," I replied calmly. "I need to make sure everything is perfect before I reach out to her." Leon let out an exasperated sigh, crossing his arms over his chest. "You've been saying that for days, Aethelfrith. It's time to make a move or move on."His words struck a nerve, and I felt a pang of uncertainty in my chest. Was I overthinking things? Should I take a leap of faith and reach out to her? But what if she rejected me?I turned my attention back to the flowers, plucking a particularly vibrant blossom. The petals felt delicate in my hands, mirroring the fragility of my emotions."I can't help it, Leon," I confessed softly. "There's something about her that draws me in.

Aethelfrith's POVAs I arrived at the art gallery, a sinking feeling settled in my stomach. I was about thirty minutes late, and my heart raced with the worry that I had missed Tyramon. As I entered, my eyes scanned the room, but she was nowhere to be found.With a mix of disappointment and apprehension, I decided to make the most of my time and immerse myself in the artwork. I strolled through the gallery, taking in the diverse range of paintings that adorned the walls. Each brushstroke and color choice held a story, inviting me to explore the artist's world.I walked slowly, my steps echoing in the quiet space as I absorbed the emotions and narratives captured in each piece.

Aethelfrith's POVI whispered, "What are you?" Tyramon looked at me, as if unsure of what to say next.As Tryamon met my question with a confident yet enigmatic response, a surge of anticipation coursed through me.She posed a question of her own, "Do you want to know?" She asked looking into my eyes, I felt shivers run down me.

I held her gaze, searching for any hints of deceit or ulterior motives, but all I found was a sense of sincerity and a spark of something extraordinary"Okay then, I will show you what I am."

Leaving the restaurant behind, we headed towards the mountains.I watched as Tryamon confidently took the driver's seat of my car, her presence commanding yet gentle. The engine roared to life as she skillfully maneuvered

"Your news is good, but I have bad news that will scatter your good news.""What do you mean?" I was very worried now about what Leon meant."Father, ask you to come back home," he said. I laughed out loud."It's nothing new, he always asks that." I continue laughing."Your engagement date has been fixed and your Marriage is immediately after your engagement."
