Eva POV
I was flabbergasted when I saw Damon here. I don't want Damon to be aware of the last wolf from Max's pack being alive. If Damon would know about him and would realize that I am baby sitting the little boy then he would definitely call Aden an abomination and would kill him. The blood stains on Damon's body made it crystal clear that he is none other than the beast, the monster born with a terrifying gene of wolf and turned into a blood sucking monster. I was in Damon's arms and I could feel his hollow, shallow hug. Well it was not really a broken hug, I felt the warmness but my mind simply doesn't want me to accept the fact that he is really caring.
"will you please mind answering my first question?", I asked Damon breaking the hug and getting seperated.
However he pulled me closer again eloping me and then started speaking, more like a whisper rubbing his lips against my cheeks and blowing the warm air in my ear,
"Lavender attacked me. Since she cant kill me, she was here up for you. Thank god you were cloaked", he said
I was at once stunned, it felt my heart stopped and I straightened my spine chilling it in fear. He knew that I was cloaked, he definitely will become suspicious or maybe he just thought that even I was hiding from that bitch Lavender. Damon left and inserted both his hands within my air and said in a very pleading tone,
" listen to me Eva. I don't care what happens to that bitch and I trust you that you will of course kill her but I felt her power today. I was frozen to death and hence promise me you won't fight her alone", he said.
I wanted to get away from him as soon as possible and hence I nodded and promised him. He kept his arm around my shoulder and walked towards the car. There was blood on his body and he have just returned from a war zone but surely he is not hurt. His vampire instincts had healed him in seconds and I was sure that he could drive. I without any hesitation opened the other car seat and he like an obedient man walked towards the driver seat. He started the car and I looked back at the invisible cottage to see whether Aden is cloaked or not,
"is there a problem? Do you want to stay?", Damon asked and I nodded no.
We drove towards the villa and I hopped out of the car. Damon however froze. In our entire journey my eyes were stuck outside the window that I didn't see him at all. He was suffering, sweating badly and was immovable. I looked at his legs. Though his upper body was shivering but his lower body was frozen completely. That was weird and even though he was in his worst he still managed to drop me home by pressing the breaks at the right time.
"you go inside" Damon said in his quivering voice.
I could see his tightened veins and his chocking neck. His voice was now hoarse and he was definitely suffering. I saw his hands turning grey and stoned, such that he was not able to move them anymore. He was in excruciating pain.
"Damon... what is happening?", I asked him.
"I said go inside or I will end up feeding on you... go now", he said.
I then understood that he was desiccating. He need to feed on blood now. We witches have the same body as that of humans and Damon can of course feed on me. I have to save him. I quickly picked up the knife kept on the backseat of car and slit my vein of my hand with it. I brought my had in front of Damon and held his hairs to support his only moving body part, his head.
"no Eva... I wont feed on you", he said.
It was as if he was saying the last words of his life and he happened to be protecting me. I cant let him die like this. I myself pressed my arm and poured my blood on his lips. His tongue licked the blood and slowly the process of his body turning stone reversed. I gave him my arms and with tears in his red monstrous eyes as he fed on my blood. After he was content, he left my hand and looked deeply at my wound. He was angry, frightened and at the same moment lovable. His mixed emotions were confusing me and I didn't disturb his deep contemplation as he was staring my arm.
Slowly my arm healed after a minute or so because I am a Phoenix. Healing process in me however is slower than that of a vampire. He raised his eye and looked at me. They were red filled with tears as he said,
"I never wanted to hurt you yet here I am, the devil who fed on you. I am sorry. Lavender spell is still working on me. I will start desiccating after every hour. I need you to stay away from me till then." Damon said.
" I am not leaving you alone to die", I said.
Yes I was shocked myself when I said that but that was a sudden prompt and I had to rethink my statement. However, Damon didn't give me time to rethink. He gently kissed my cheek and pulled me out of the car. I ran towards my room and checked in the huge spellbook, the cure for sacrificial magic. I am a witch and I ofcource can cure him. I went into Damon's study.He never stopped me from using any of the rooms except his study which had powerful spells of ancient witches plus the sacrificial magic procedures. Ironically, he stood by the door today and didn't stop me.
I picked up the book titled the sacrificial magic and opened. It was blank, now white pages at all.I looked at Damon confused and he came towards me and kept his hand on my shoulder,
" dark magic is a secret and hence you need spells to read that book too", he said.
I nodded and moved my hand on the book. The book absorbs the energy of a wot h to show its contents that is a dark magic book performing dark magic as a bait. Vampirism was a product of dark magic too and the book said that vampires are beast that need to feed on humans. They helped performing sacrificial magic to witches by killing humans. The spell once casted to keep them hungry after every hour could be reversed.
I just had to say each and every words in a backward direction and I was pretty well at that job. I took Damon's blood in a bowl and he gave me without any hesitation. He then pulled me up towards the roof where I reversed his spell....
After a long day I was left with just one question, why did I help him out?
