She turned from me, as her last words ended, she is not threatening me, or is she? Fear grips me, I don't want to die, I don't want to leave Stefan, not now, that he is back and he is immortal. The realization that one day I will grow old and die leaving Stefan behind, and come to think of it, I might not grow old, the very minutes my Stefan takes over that pack, I know Kira and Leonid will return and seek revenge from me, trying to take the throne back and since they know that I am Stefan's weakness, it will be easy for them to put his life to an end. Why is fate cruel to me?
I grabbed my legs together, crying again, I didn't notice that I have slept off in that garden now the rays of light visiting my face, was what woke me from my sleep, I noticed that I was lying on a soft bed.
Where am I? I asked no one in particular, as I run my eyes as a result of the sun rays meeting my eyes.
Are you up? That voice startled me and I jumped from the bed. Relex, I made you a hot bath, you should bath.
How did I get here?
This woman, you don't know how to be grateful.
Sorry, how did I get in here?
Fine, since you must know, I saw you alone in the field, and it's dangerous for a mere human to be alone in the dark, the wolves will feast on you.
What do you care? I said standing up from his bed.
I care enough to allow you to wash me after a long time of pushing every woman away from me, in the past sixteen months.
He didn't just indirectly tell me that, he hadn't been with another woman since that incident occurred. My heart bubblies with the good news that I am the last woman my Stefan had carnal knowledge of.
And why is that? I asked, curious to get the answer.
Maybe, you should join me in the bathtub, we could talk about that while having a bath, you need it as well. He said as he fall his bathrobe, leaving him in his birthday suit, he is looking more handsome, and his long hair falling on his back, they are like black diamonds, his skin is spotless and his shoulder are like a tower.
I watch him move to the bathtub and soak himself inside the tub with his eyes close and come to think that I didn't find his nude disgusting.
Stop staring, and get into the tub, I am not going to pounce on you, even though I can't control the things you do to me, you set my soul on fire. I blushed at his words. Are you blushing? He asked with his eyes still close.
Can you now read my thoughts? His eyes flew open, they are beautiful and calm.
Why do you want me to read your thoughts badly?
Is because I could...
Convince me that, you are my mate? He asked, as he closed his eyes back, I pinned my lips again. Get into the water, let me bathe you.
What? I screamed hearing his declaration.
Yes, since you don't want to be a maid, let's be friends then. He said, I found myself walking slowly into the bathtub with my wears.
Do humans bathe with clothes? I understand his questions, I simply take off my wears, left with my undies, and walked into the bathtub slowly and soak myself in the water, I missed this, I can't remember when I have this, I closed my eyes to enjoy it.
Let me wash you. He said with his face devoured of emotions, his eyes were unfathomable, I closed my eyes, and as his hand touches my hair, I could notice that his claws elongated, I wondered what he want to do to me, I was about to protest when I noticed that he was cutting off that Tangled hair of mine. After that, he scrubs my skull, it was more of massaging them, I closed my eyes as he does that, and I was enjoying every bit of it.
After washing me, he wash himself and then carry me off the bathtub, I lay on the bed, as he cover me with the duvet, he didn't do anything to me, he didn't even attempt to take off my wet undies.
You should rest while I get you what to eat.
I don't want to eat.
You are not a demon, or do you want me to turn you into a demon?
Is that possible? I asked in excitement, he turned and look at me.
Let me get you food. He said ignoring my question, he used the door, I took off my undies, and try to look for something to wear, I was surprised to see a gown in his cupboard, I pick it up, thinking maybe, it was for someone else but then I fit it, it's perfect on me and I love it.
Stefan appear through the door without opening it, I held my chest, I am still not comfortable with the fact that my Stefan Is a demon. Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you but you should know the kind of person I am, I am a demon.
Are you planning on scaring me? I asked, he shakes his head and put the food on the table, I look at him and then at the food, I don't have an appetite, but I don't want him to feel bad, so I decided to eat, but too weak to move my hands.
Let me feed you. He said, grabbing the soup, and pushing the hot soup to my mouth, I didn't notice how hot the soup is that as soon as the food meets my tongue, it burns it that I scream.
Sorry! He said fast, he used his hands to caress my lips. Sorry, I didn't know that it was hot.
It's fine. I said, he lower his head, the others he make sure to breeze, before pushing the spoon to me. After that he disappeared with the tray carrying the food, he didn't come into the room, and he let me lie on his bed, for the first time, I was able to sleep peacefully, I don't want to wake up. But I have to when the sound of my tummy kept craving food, I had no choice but to do its bidding.
To my greatest surprise, there is food in front of me, I creep to the table and devour the food, I don't care who has brought the food there.
The mirror on the wall reflected my imagination, that was the first time, I could see how terrible I look, oh dear moon goddess what have happened to me, my mere sight disgusted me that I turned from it, I just lost my appetite, how could Stefan even recognize me like this when I too can't recognize myself.
I got curious, then I move to the mirror and let my robe drop, while watching my reflection, I could see all the bruises that stupid Leonid and Kira inflicted on me.
What are you doing?
