Once again I laid upon the soft grass as cold shivers racked my body. I knew the fever had set in. I looked up to see two blazing orbs staring down at me. " I knew I would find you here " Percival stated as he covered me with a woolen blanket. It was from the down of a spring faun the softest blanket I ever felt.
I saw someone run from this direction and I came to investigate Percival stated as he touched my heated cheek.
"Don't lie you were hungry.. Your night patrol on innocent drunken maids or bar wenches". I started cheekily as sweat pooled upon my brow.
Princess have you seem a doctor at this rate you might not make it through the night.a morbid thought passed on to my mind. I blirted it out without thinking of his reaction or the consequences. Surprising thing is that I had only moments ago had the chance to get close to atlas in the way I am about to with percival. Why didn't I offer this opportunity to him since he is the one I like? Why percival?
Maybe it's percival's caring nature or that I feel totally at peace with him around for some unknown reason.
"Percival, Then if I don't make it through the night. Can you do me a favor.. Can you hold me so I won't for once be alone". The Blue flames from his eyes dissipated at my request. " your never alone aurora." Percival stated as He gathered the blanket around me and placed me upon his lap.
For once I let myself be comforted and expose my long buried insecurities to another. I snuggled into the warmth of the blanket and his embrace"im going to tell you a story from my past. My eyes felt heavy as he held me closer as stickers once again racked my body.
Percival's story of his past resembled "The days before my mother's mysterious death".
Year's ago it's well known fact that even pure blood vampyres have to die a mortal death. To gain their unique powers and strengths vested upon then at their rebirth.
Days before my "rebirth" my father decided that I needed to be married and which he arranged a marriage for me. I remember the joy I felt at the notion of finally having someone at my side. As the days came closer to the event anticipation mounted.
The day I finally got to meet my intended became the worse day of my existence. When I first seen her she was ill on her death bed. Just like Today I held her and bestowed the choice.. Of eternal life.
She made her choice and I turned her. Her parents were furious at me and called off the wedding and cut all ties with my family. Not before cursing me for all eternity with everlasting isolation .to the Forbidden Forest on the outskirts of the outer lands. To spend the rest of my existence lamenting on what sin I have committed. So you see princess it's for the best you choose my brothers because I'm cursed "Percival stated as he looked away in shame.
"Your not cursed percival life happens... "I cupped his face within my hands"We can't pick or choose the outcome of life.all we can always make the best life we can with the time we have. What happened to your bethrothed after you turned her?i asked as he bite his lips.
"She forgot about me and our mating bond. Which is for the best but she hates me for what happened to her mother"
"Her mother?!"i squeaked out as a cold chill ran down my spine. Did you turn her?
No
She was killed by the person she loved the most and it's my fault.. He monolouged as if he was reliving the past.
No it's not your fault I cooed as he seemed cold and distant.
"Percy you can't change the past but there is someone out there made just for you I changed the morbid direction this conversation went. I could feel in my bones that that story was somehow directed to me."don't give up." I said as he silently and swiftly ran up the stairway .he made his way through the dark hall towards my chambers.
The heels of his boots didn't even make a sound as he ran up the steps. He pushed open my chamber door and softly placed me on my bed. "You the same my princess. Even though you won't end up with me I will protect you and make sure your happy. Even if it kills me. The only thing in this life I desire to see you happy." he kissed the top of my head as he mysteriously jumped out the window. At his action of jumping out my window..This is a case of major de jà vou. I thought as I slowly embraced the sweet slumber.
