Tobias' Pov
"Please!" I heard K say, and what happened next was just magic.
One minute ago, I was overwhelmed by the demons. I had no control over my body, my emotions, and my thoughts. Who knows how many times this had happened to me, ever since She left. However, the moment I felt her arms embrace me from the back...
It was as if time had stopped.
For the first time in a thousand years, I controlled the demons. Ever since she was gone, they have been running wild. Whenever my emotions get high or low, they will come out. All they ever did was kill, destroy, and hate.
Slowly, I felt the demons let go of my body. My breathings were able to go back to normal, and probably by now, my eyes had returned to their normal colors. I stared down at the half-vampire half-witch in front of me, she was shivering in fear, and there were bloodstains all over her.
Ah, yes! She was one of the witches that helped with erasing Katerina's memories!
Normally, I would punch her and beat her until she couldn't move anymore, then I would feed her some dog-blood so that she would not die. However, now, all I want to do is to be with her.
Yes, my mate.
Gently, I placed my hands on hers, and when our skins touched, I was sure, both of us felt the fire ignite between us. How I missed this feeling... For a thousand years I searched for her, and now she is finally here with me. Mine forever...
Beth's Pov:
"Are you ok now?" I asked as Tobias and I both sat awkwardly on the edge of the bed I slept on last night.
"Yea... Thank you..." He answered as he rubbed his thumb playfully against the back of my hand.
"I mean, I didn't do anything. I just... well, I don't know. I just hugged you, that's all." I answered, a blush appearing on my face.
"For me, it was more than a hug," Tobias said as he turned his face toward me. "It may sound weird to you, but..."
"No, it doesn't." I interrupted him before I was able to stop myself.
"Right." He answered, and laughed.
After that, we talked about random things. He mentioned that the room I am in now, would be my new room, and he was planning to get me a maid. I told him it was totally unnecessary, but when he mentioned that the maid will clean my room, and do my laundry, I gave in. We also talked about dinner with Tobias' mother, hearing the way he talked about her, I could tell he was a "mommy's boy". Even though he was already over 1000 years old.
How ironic.
"Hey, what are you going to do with Irina?" I asked out of concern, for some reason I felt very protective of her.
"Um, I don't know. Feed her to the dogs." Tobias laughed as if it was supposed to be funny. "I mean after all she did to you, she deserves a way worse death, don't you think..." He stopped talking when he saw how angry I was when he said all that. "What's wrong?"
"I don't want you to kill her."
"Come on, I AM not going to kill her. The dogs will."
"No."
"She has to die sometime. Or if you want to keep her alive in that cage it's fine too..."
"No, I want her to live with me."
When Tobias heard this, he jumped up from where he was sitting, and he squatted down beside me and asked, "Live with you? Come on, K. She was among one of those witches who forcibly sent you to the future."
"I know," I answered. "But, didn't you say that you were planning to get me a maid. Irina would be perfect. She will be the most loyal maid ever, since I am her Queen, right?" I place my right hand on his shoulder and squeezed it in assurance. One thing I caught on by now was that, if I wanted Tobias to agree with me, all I had to do was to have some kind of physical contact with him.
Trust me, he's not any better at this mate attraction thing than I am. I'm so wicked, oh my God.
His face relaxed and a smile appeared. "True. She will be the most loyal maid for you, but..."
"Come on, T," I begged. His smile grew even bigger as I called him "T". To be honest, I am starting to get used to my new, or old name, Katerina. It's actually a really beautiful name.
"Fine." He said as he kissed me on the forehead. "Anything for you, my Queen."
I felt butterflies in my stomach as I felt his lips on my forehead, and moreover, when he called me "Queen", I was barely able to stay still.
Oh my Gosh, just kiss him already!!!
"Oh my God, of course not!" I answered the voice in my head. Stupid as I was, I said it out loud.
Tobias who was shocked at my sudden outburst, asked me, "What do you mean? You don't want to be..."
"No, no, no!" I explained. "These days, I've been hearing a lot of whispers in my head. Different kinds of whispers."
"Yea, go on."
"I know Flame can talk to me somehow through Telepathy, and Haze can through my dreams."
"Yea, Flame can because Haze helped with the Telepathy spell, and Haze, of course, he's the best wizard on earth."
"However, the other two kinds of whispers are very weird. One of them first appeared in one of my nightmares. It was the night before I met you guys. I remember hearing whispers of many grandpas and grandmas, and among them, there was a young girl named Angela."
"Interesting... You see, perfectly 1015 years ago, on that very night, you were taken away from me. I'm pretty sure the whispers you heard in your dream were all the ghosts of those witches that died while doing the spell. I'm not sure if you knew, but back then, you were the strongest witch on earth. I mean, come on, you were their Queen, and even now. We just need to wait until you are 18 years old."
"Why wait till I'm 18?" I asked curiously.
"Well, because you were so powerful back then, and also because you are the legendary White Moon Queen, they were not able to kill you. They did the best they could to keep you as far away as possible from me. There were hundreds of witches and wizards that day, and... It was horrible. Most of them died, and the ones that survived all died several days later."
"Except for Irina, why?"
"Because..."
"Tell me."
"She used to be my mom's maid, and if it wasn't for her, you wouldn't have been captured by my father..." Tobias answered. I could tell, all of these past 1000 years, guilt and regret never stopped torturing him. "My mom knew that I was going to kill that bitch, so she turned her."
"But it's not like vampire can't be killed."
Tobias stopped for a second and studied my face closely. "Yes, if you wanted to kill a vampire turned by a royal member, you would have to get the royal member's permission."
"Oh... I see. Sorry, I'm asking so many questions but," I took a breath. "How do you turn someone into a vampire?"
"If I wanted to turn a man into a vampire, all I have to do is, feed him some of my blood, and then kill him while the vampire blood is still in his system."
"Wow..."
"Fascinating, isn't it?"
"Yea... This is like a way different world."
"This is the world that you belong in, K," Tobias said, as kissed the back of my hand.
