"You're blushing" a smirk formed on his face and she touched her face lightly but before she could say anything Euan rushed in.
"I'm hungry"he whined. Ze'ev heaved a deep frustrated sigh before speaking. This little man was gonna drive him insane one day
"fine, we'll be right there…go wait for us" he nodded and ran back immediately. Presley stared at Euan then Ze'ev, they seemed to be very close…she wondered why he was taking care of his nephew. Was his nephew a vampire too?. Ze'ev led the way and she followed quietly, silence reigned between them as they walked until he unexpectedly broke it.
"So your nightmare last night?" He acclaimed, the corridor was empty anyways…there was no one there excluding them so they could speak freely if they wanted to. Presley bit the side of her lip contemplating on whether she should speak or not.
"I am not comfortable with speaking to someone about it" she finally replied and he turned to her without saying anything but just stared. She stared back and after some seconds he nodded knowing he couldn't force the information out of her.
"But can I ask something?" She asked
"Anything princess"
"Last night? You…you helped me when I had an asthma attack, have you done that for someone before, you seemed experienced"
"Euan…is like you, he's stubborn and doesn't take his inhaler wherever he goes so I mostly help him when he is in that state and we can't find his inhaler"she saw a flash of worry in his eyes but they disappeared almost immediately.
"Isn't he a vampire?" Why would he need these things if he was a vampire?
"He isn't…yet"he replied and she furrowed her brows.
"What do you mean?"
"He's an half" she questioned him with her eyes and he sighed like he was speaking with a sixth grader who was really dumb.
"He is half a vampire and half an human" she nodded digesting the info. He turned his head to her and smirked.
"Like our future babies" he teased and her face turned pink again. She scoffed and looked away afraid he would see she was blushing and bluff about it again.
"So when will he get his vampire powers? If you said yet then that means he's just slow right?"he ignored her question and kept walking. He was already getting annoyed with the questions she was bombarding him with, even he didn't notice it.
She was so annoying
"Sit" he spoke when they got to the dinning table
"You don't have to tell me what to do" she murmured but he heard anyways. She was still annoyed he didn't reply to her last question. She sat on one of the chairs and gave a fake smile to Euan beside her.
"You look ugly when you smile like that"he shook his head and she scoffed glaring at Ze'ev for how bratty the little half was…because why so sassy!
They served their food but it didn't really look delicious to her, it looked disgusting.
What was even the stuff?! It looked like Euan's barf. She stared at the other foods they served for Ze'ev and Euan… they looked delicious why was hers like this?!
Why were they even eating, weren't they vampires Did they even need food…she thought they only drank blood
"For you voice"Ze'ev told when he saw her disgusted expression she threw at her food. She didn't say anything and just picked up the spoon and put it in her mouth to taste it but spat it out immediately
"It's still hot dummy"Euan spoke but she couldn't react because she was still coughing. Ze'ev chuckled again and kept eating his food.
"Are there mosquitoes in your room uncle?"Euan asked which seemed to confuse Ze'ev because that was so random.
"Why do you ask?" He raised his brows and Euan pointed at Presley's neck.
"There are mosquitos bites on her neck" Presley glared at Ze'ev and touched her neck. Damn it.
He gave her hickeys!
She stared at him while he just smiled putting a fork full in his mouth. That stupid yet lovely smile that she wished she could punch out of his face. Why was he so unserious.
They were eating in silence with Ze'ev and Euan enjoying their delicious food while Presley was forcing the food into her mouth. She noticed Ze'ev barely touched his food and it was still looking fresh and untouched but Euan on the other hand was stuffing his face. A phone call pierced through the silence and Ze'ev heaved another sigh which seemed to be a form of anger. He clenched his jaw and slipped his phone out of his pockets. He stared at the name his screen displayed and clenched his teeth even harder before answering it.
"What is it?" He hissed shutting his eyes, she watched him carefully and after a few seconds his eyes slowly opened and he hung up. He turned his head in her direction and she stared back with unblinking eyes. He stood up and signalled her to come with him.
When they reached a place more private or where Euan couldn't possibly hear he stopped his tracks and turned back to face her.
"I'm leaving and I won't be back in a few days" he told and she nodded
"Okay" he almost smiled in disbelief but he couldn't. The situation was too serious for him to break a smile. She smiled at him assuring him that he could leave right now if he wanted to and he couldn't help but think this whole marriage thing was a mistake. She watched him inhale and exhale with his eyes closed.
"Myra" he called opening his dark whiskey eyes slowly and she almost swallowed. This was the first time he called her name and it didn't sound good, well it did…but in a dangerous way like he was being really serious.
"I need you to listen to me…" he got close, towering her with his height and held her chin upward to face him. She nodded with her eye sparkling of deep curiosity.
"Do.not.leave.this.place…infact do not leave our room, do you understand me?" His eyes stared directly into hers as if seeing through her soul.
"I don't think I do, what are you trying to do?imprison me?"she chuckled bitterly.
"No, never, that wasn't in the agreement we made with your family. You have freedom" he explained
"Okayyyy?" She needed to know what was happening in order to listen and obey, if that was even possible.
"But for this few days, I need you to stay in the room. There's nothing you want they won't give to you."
"I am still very lost" he heaved a sigh and stared into the sky.
"I can't explain…I just need you to obey"
"I still think I need you to explain before I obey…you think I'm stupid? What? You going for a war or something. Like you said I have my freedom and I don't think-"
"Zev" A man broke Presley off behind her and she turned around to see who cut her off.
"We have to go"he added and Ze'ev clenched his jaw rolling his eyes.
"Just give me a few seconds, I still have to tell Euan I'm leaving" he replied him and the man turned and walked away from there.
"Myra, listen to me" he commanded and she riled her eyes.
"Fine I'll stay in the stupid room but I am not making any promises" she hissed and he smirked.
"Good girl" how bad could it be, only a few days right?
"You're leaving again"Euan cries caught their attention and she saw Ze'ev walk to him and pick him up like a weightless object.
"I'm sorry little man, I really have to go" he wiped his tears with his thumb and Euan hiccuped
"But you just came back" he kept sobbing
"I know and I swear I didn't want to leave but I have to, I'll be back in a few days. It won't take long I swear" he kept wiping his tears
"Stop crying common, it's not good for you"he kept coaxing but seeing Euan's rising chest he began to worry.
"I hate you" he cried
"More than Myra?" He asked and Presley who was feeling sad for the heartbreaking scene almost threw things at him. How could he…!! She was speechless.
Euan nodded a no and Ze'ev smiled.
"I'll be back"
