I hold my phone and notice the screen that it's too early to call her at 1.00. I decided to get back on bed when Clara hold my right wrist. "Hey…anything wrong?", asking Clara that don't want to get off from holding me. "Chiara… I feel I'm not okay…". I look her closely and notice that her abdomen had an internal bleeding. It was the first time I saw my half-soul got sick. I started to feel anxious knowing this is not a good idea to feel ease. "Easy…easy…come near beside me I'm going to take care of you". She starts to faint in front of me and I feel wired on what would I suppose to do with her. "Clara! Speak up this is not a good idea". I'm about to call Hansel for help but she restrains me from doing so. "I'll be getting fine just be with me now… I feel my/our mate feels upset this time. I feel he's coming soon. What his wolf feels, is also what I feel", I become dumbfounded thinking that does she knows where my mate is? How come she feels his nearby when these times we're looking first for my guardian? These are the questions that arises in my head yet I don't want to ask for now. I followed her instructions that I make her lie on my lap, until she makes herself recover. I feel how cold she is that I need to cover her with the blanket that I'm using. "You're shivering… are you sure you'll be got fine though you know what I only did is to (make you lie) on me?", stroking her body to help her feel better yet I do doubt she feels better soon. Clara open her mouth leaving with no words to say. An hour had passed and I feel she made it to regain her strength. Until I hear her saying, "Take care….". At that instance, I feel assured she's safe and sound.
…. (The sun comes out) I thought Chiara is on my bed the whole night. But what makes my day goes to sicken me is to see my bed Chiara's not around. I walk out to my room and meet my star sleeping beside her so-called half-soul. Does the prophecy tell one day she have a half-soul? I doubt it's been told to us nor written for a long time. I step nearly to her and notice how tired she was. I look on her face trying to imagine how those days makes me feel in love when she's around with me. Looking back the time I saw she found her mate, I felt how difficult it is to remain fine even deep inside, my heart whimper from the feeling of being ignored. However, it wasn't the thing I expected on her. She is the unassuming, timid Queen I've known. I am destined to her as her guardian not her villain. I think of it over the last night how unbearable the mistake I've made to her. I took away her happiness, I made her miserable. But what I am going to say to her? How would I start to say to her that miserable offense? I need to look for Victor. I must see him first before Chiara knows the truth from him. I am unforgivable and I admit what I've done. I know for some reasons she had found me not because as an accident. I try for many times to escape my life and forget it all about. But happenings never for last. And right now, I need to bare she is not meant for me for a lifetime. I wanted to fondle her face by my hands yet the guilt that I feel inside prohibits me from doing so. I step back and I traverse my embarrassment. I look on my watch and I remembered it's time for me to prepare her breakfast. For sooner, she will walk away through this door and either I'm part of it or not anymore…...
The soothing smell of the food make us both awake easily and I wondered what is that about. I look for Hansel and I notice far behind someone is making breakfast in the kitchen. I put Clara on the feather couch as she let me go to the kitchen and see what Hansel is preparing for.
"Hmmm… I never realize you're good in cooking anyway". I greeted him with a smiled as I motioned myself to his bar stool. Though he doesn't give me a quick gesture, I waited to whatever viand he's into. He put it into a clean plate and at the same time, he give me the glass of white wine. "Suit yourself your Highness. Actually, I only watched it on YouTube (just now), bought some ingredients of it and try to savor it. Since you are (my) visitor, I prepared that". I am
about to take a spoon of it when eventually, Clara hop on me and taste it. "Hey! It's for me. Can't you see?', to my dismay when she grabs it and took it mouth fully. Clara doesn't care about what I gripe. I try to put her down under my side when suddenly I notice she holds my waist unwanting to release herself from me. Though I feel uncomfortable, I can't resist to my half-soul. Hansel laugh on us that I sense he's not anymore hesitant to talk on us. We all laugh on each other when in a sudden, I hear my phone is ringing. "I think that call is something important…", Hansel told me when he noticed my phone beeps on the table. "Ohh, my! I really forgot to call back Nellie", I put the fork back on my plate and I get the table tissue where Hansel put it near to the side. I hurriedly get my phone to answer it. "Yes, Ohh really... When? ... Come again?". As I answering Nellie on the other line, Hansel pick up the dishes and watch it while Clara keep on staring on me and to Hansel. "Okay we'll talk about this when I arrive. Thanks, and see you for some hours. I'll be home today. Bye.". When I turned off my phone, I told Hansel that we'll leaving. He immediately wipe his hands through the dry sanitizer. He took us down the elevator to the ground floor. When I am about to start the engine, I told him. "If you are free you can go with us so that it will be easy for you to find me at anytime". He wiped his forehead with his hand giving me the attention that he can't go. "I am going to tell you when I'll be going there but as of the moment, I need to fix something". He smiled on me and give me a wink. I covered his hands with mine saying, "Whatever that would be, I hope it's hopeful for you". He gives me a nod letting me know that it's all fine. I close now the window of my car and I start my engine. He steps back eventually and wave goodbye on us. While on the road, I think of Nellie's excited announcement about the painting that I displayed on The Gallery Show. Who is this person who got interested on my abstract?....
