Eva POV
I am a coward. I am such a coward that I actually chose. Till this morning I was desperate to meet him and make love with him. I wanted him beside me holding my hand and watching the night sky but all my dreams shattered the moment I saw him turn in that beast. I wanted to do everything from him. I put the spell protecting him from the full moon curse but I couldn't protect him again from this miserable separation.
Everything was so cumbersome now that all I see his darkness above. The coven accepted me and even hugged me for abandoning the evil but no hug was burying my grief and giving my joy. The witches summoned for the death ceremony and did with the rituals. There were three casualties. One witch with a vampire bite desiccated off her blood. The other witch whose heart was ripped off and the third witch whose neck was snapped. The others were injured. All the witches were laid in the coffins and garlands were tied around their neck. The holy water was thrown over them and their loved ones sacrificed their blood on their forehead.
The third witch didn't had a family so being the Phoenix, I stepped forward. I took a knife and made a cut on my palm making my palm bleed. The entire knight the witches danced saying the spells seeking the peace for the death but I was all lost. My mind was numb already and though I was trying but I couldn't stop myself from tearing my heart with the excruciating pain of this separation. I called him a beast though he was the most gentleman to give me a beautiful life. Now I feel that why did he obeyed my decision and walked off without speaking a word. Why isn't he the same monster who had snatched me away from my coven just because he loved me....
About six years ago, I along with my friends went into the woods to collect flowers and curing leaves. The human government with the progress of their technology had made a road through the forest splitting it into two halves. The curing leaves are found in the forest on the other side of the road and I understand how important those leaves were, so I decided to cross the road though my friends denied giving me a company. I walked to the other side alone and collected everything that I needed. On my way back home, while I was crossing the road, I noticed a speeding car and I felt that the driver must be drunk. On top of it driving with such a speed here between the woods is not so embracing for the animals.
I thus decided to cast a slowing spell on the car. I stood in between the road and watched the car racing towards me and when it was too close I spelled,
"veto.. slowdown"
However my spell didn't work and the speeding car hit me. I should have died on the spot but I woke up in a hospital, the one where humans were treated with injections and solid medicine and bandages but not leaves. It took me long to understand the David had already casted a protection spell on the car and thus my spell didn't work on it. I didn't knew that the man to bring me here is a witch himself but I was scared that these human will notice my unique features so I ran from the hospital.
Damon then hunt me down and he killed everyone who came in his path to stop him from taking me. There I lost my parents as I saw the blood bath of more than fifteen witches by David's hand. He was so powerful that he hypnotized them in masses and asked them to slit their throats. My mom was one of them while my dad died fighting Damon by a strong spell of David. Damon apologized later as he said that he didn't knew that amongst the dead were even my parents but at that time, any confession by Damon seemed like a lie and probably I had no reason to trust him.
People feared him a lot and to save other lives I was handed to Damon who claimed to marry me because he fell in love with me at first sight. I don't know whether that was true or not but now I know he loves me and he is pain too. If he was the same Damon today, no one would have dared separated him from me today. Look what love brings us in, pain and the misery of being abandon. One of the witches of the coven came near me and asked me to make the lock of the coven entrance tighter. When Lavender had walked in she had actually broken the entrance spell but I was clearly understanding what she meant. She wanted me to men the loopholes and prevent the devil from entering in the provinces again.
That was a major heart stroke to miserable evening and I carried my heavy body towards the boundary of the coven and raised both my arms. I had no energy to do the spell but I was pretty sure that if I won't do it now, then there will be no use of all this heart brake today and I have to make it all worth. A miserable evening worth my Phoenix life.....
