Mirna
As soon as Elrisha fainted, my heart kept throbbing since she's not waking up after I slapped her a couple of times. I was sobbing already which made me look over her wound and she's bleeding but not to the point of dripping. She's indeed unique. I wanted to carry her all by myself but I don't have any inhumane strength to do that. I turned to Jonas who was standing beside me while soothing my back and I'm about to ask him to help me when a familiar man came in. He waltzed as if he owns the place as Elrisha emits and when he came into the light, it was her butler named Terek.
"Terek." Jonas whispered which made him glanced at him before me.
He kneeled down and looked over her master. He shook his head which made me worried and as if he heard my thoughts he suddenly looked straight at me before patting my shoulder.
"Don't worry. I'll take her and you can come with me." Terek directly told me as he carried Elrisha very delicately.
"Jonas, you better do the same. I'll tell my Mistress to spare your life. Your sister will be disappointed in you if she learns about this one." He added but more on to Jonas while were walking out of the burned barn.
"Sorry." Jonas didn't know what to say anymore but apologize.
"Save it for her." Terek stopped him from doing that.
"Terek, he has his reason." I butted in as we got closer to their car.
"I know his reason and don't you even think why your sister was under my Mistress care." Terek frankly told us which confused Jonas.
"What do you mean?" Jonas wondered in confusion which made us halted in front of the car's back seat door.
"Just come and I'll tell you since the police were on their way here." Terek only said as I opened the door and entered first before he put Elrisha under my care.
As I'm settled inside the backseat with Elrisha on my lap, Terek took my palm and quickly made a horizontal slash over it. I yelped but when I realized what he was doing, I just let him put my palm over her wound.
"Just put your palm there and don't move it. She needs to close the wound and since you're soulmates, your blood will do its trick." Terek instructed as he also explained to me the reason why I have to do it.
I only managed to nod as my response to him before he closed the backseat door and went to the driver's seat. But before he could even get close to his seat, he leaned to Jonas' side before slashing his face. Then he stood up straight as if he didn't do anything and meet the police officer that has been called.
"Are you alright?" a man in a police suit approached our car.
"Yes, I'm here to pick my Mistress and I have to take her quickly to our estate along with her friends." Terek answered with half lies.
"Care to tell what happened here?" another policewoman came and asked Terek.
"I am not sure but my Mistress has been hurt and I need to hurry before her family kills me." Terek tried to make some excuse to ditch the questioning of the police.
"Haha, alright. You can go on for now. I'll drop by tomorrow for their statement. We've been looking for these men for human trafficking and drugs." The same man who asked him first laughed a little as if he knew something was going on.
"Okay, Deputy Chief Hilton. I will inform my Mistress when she wakes up." Terek respectfully excused ourselves in their sight before they could rant us with questions.
"I'll be waiting then." The deputy chief smiled at us and let Terek hopped in the car before driving away from the burned barn.
No words were being exchanged aside from letting my hand feel the wound over Elrisha's side. I wanted to feel sorry for this one but at the same time, I knew already those things like this might happened again. I swore to her that I won't leave her side no matter what. We both swore to take the mate bond seriously even either of us really knew how it works. We just let these feelings that we have for each other dictate what move we're going to do in our relationship. Of course, it will include a lot of thinking as well.
Anyway, I was totally in my daze when we're already stopped in front of the familiar entrance of the house. We're already here at Elrisha's house. Terek and the other servants came to aid their Mistress while her head maid and butler took care of me and Jonas.
"I'll take you to our lady's room." I didn't have time to speak and just nod as she guided me toward Elrisha's room.
I was totally in a daze while the head maid was tending my wounds until I saw Elrisha's unconscious but already clean body being lain down on her bed really carefully. I don't know what came to me but I didn't run to where she was and quickly held her hand.
"Are you our lady's beloved?" Elrisha's head butler curiously wondered which I didn't find any words to answer but just a nod instead.
As soon as they heard that confirmation, they all give me a warm welcome as they respectfully bow their heads to me. I was totally taken back by that sudden gesture but I smiled at their acceptance since I am a human.
"I'm a human." I only managed to say to them.
"And our Mistress is happy." The head maid which I think her name was Letty.
"That's enough for us." The head butler named Rexon added.
"Now I know the reason why she's not grumpy anymore." A chuckled came from another butler that I think I've heard already and he was called Tony.
"Not grumpy but already collected and serious which most of us didn't know how to approached her unless she approached us. Well, until recently." Terek added with a smirk over his face – that's the first time I saw him smile.
"Thanks." I told them but the head maid named Letty shook her head.
"We were the ones who were thankful. Stay with her and once she wakes up, tried to offer her two options." Letty smiled before informing me of something I have to do when Elrisha wakes up.
"Options?" I'm curious.
"She needs to drink blood from her blood wine or yours." Rexon answered while Tony took the blood wine ready and a small knife at the small coffee table.
"Ohh…I see…I'll try to ask her later." I nodded which made them smile before left me alone in her room.
I already understood what they just told me since Elrisha was a vampire and blood only could replenish what has been gone. Yet, it made me wondered if she would drink my blood or not. I am watching her very longingly which made me stroke her pale white and cold skin. She's really looked dead and hibernating but I know she was not since her lips were still kissable since the last time I took notice of them. Not taking any notice for a moment, I am leaning closer to kiss her lips but I snapped myself from doing that since it was inappropriate yet, I wanted to. I don't know what was going inside of me but all I know that I am crying already as I let my feelings took over my body and lean closer to taste those lips against mine once again.
"Wake up so I could kiss you more." I whispered with a hopeful tone that I could muster while my tears won't stop from falling down.
I shook my head since Elrisha didn't need my weakness right now. She needs strength which I hope will reach her as soon as possible. I get up from sitting beside her and went to the balcony and took a seat over the piano's chair. I am just staring for a moment at the piano as I let my feelings be heard by my mind and just like that, my hands were already touching the keys of the piano. I was about to start playing some melody that I could sing that reflecting my feelings when I heard some groaning in pain. I jolted and immediately run back inside the room which I think was the wrong thing to do since Elrisha was in her deep shade of red – I mean, her eyes were totally bloodshot and there some droll from her mouth. She sniffed the air and followed where it was coming from, of course, it landed on me. I just released a sigh and then she popped in front of me. I was taken back in such surprise but what surprised me even more, was when she pulled my waist closer to her and leaning closer to my neck. I gasped but I didn't resist at all.
"You need it. Take it." I offered in my quivering voice which made her flinched and pushed me lightly then stared into my eyes. Her eyes widened and she shook her head before she released me. She looked frightened than when her eyes landed over her hands, she was quivering.
"Don't you dare run away from me." I warned her since I've got the feeling that she was guilty of attempting on biting me.
"I am offering my blood to you since you really need it but if don't you could take the blood wine that your servants prepared for you." I really sound disappointed as I crossed my arms before I turned my back at her and went back on the balcony. But before I could even near the sliding glass door, she hugged me from behind.
"I really…desperately want to but I won't, not yet at least." Elrisha whispered to my ears since she's also sniffing my scents which sent shivers down my spine as if it's making my knees jello.
We stayed like that for a few seconds then the next thing I heard was her drinking the whole wine bottle that full of wine that has blood mixed in them. I just sigh and continued my track going to the balcony and played something that still reflects what I am feeling right now. I let my fingers touched the keys of the piano and made some random melody before I found the right song for my feelings tonight which was entitled Can't Fight The Moonlight by Leann Rimes.
"Under a lover's sky
Gonna be with you
And no one's gonna be around
If you think that you won't fall
Well just wait until
'Til the sun goes down…" I began on singing the song which it seems like happening to us right now.
"Underneath the starlight, starlight
There's a magical feeling so right
It will steal your heart tonight…" I continued as I am feeling the message and the rhythm of the song which I hope reached her.
"You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know, but you know that you
Can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark, you'll surrender your heart
But you know, but you know that you
Can't fight the moonlight, no
You can't fight it
It's gonna get to your heart…" but in these lines, the kiss that I am thinking was the thing she resisting claiming – the taste of my blood that I am offering to her.
"There's no escaping love
Once the gentle breeze
Weaves its spell upon your heart
No matter what you think
It won't be too long (not too long)
'Til you're in my arms
Underneath the starlight, starlight
We'll be lost in the rhythm, so right
Feel it steal your heart tonight…" I kept singing even I could feel her presence watching me from behind and she's listening attentively as I kept pouring my feelings through this song.
"You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know, but you know that you
Can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark, you'll surrender your heart
But you know, but you know that you
Can't fight the moonlight, no
You can't fight it
No matter what you do
The night is gonna get to you…" I almost screamed what my feelings stating since I really do want to reach her. I might felt frightened but as long she won't let me feel she let go of me then my fears will be tolerable.
But I didn't finish singing the song, I just stop as my heart kept aching and I started on crying again. I am not sure why but it was too painful to bear alone.
