He looked at the pile of silver materials on the floor and sighed heavily, 'this isn't going to be easy' he thought, "good luck with whatever important stuff you are using the silver for" Caleb said dropping the unfinished diamond ring in his hand on the cabinet then picked his bottle of red liquid and strolled out while Adrian put on his thick gloves, picked the silver materials and immediately got busy but God knew how careful he was trying not to have any close contact with the silver. Minutes passed and the sweet scent of butter cups filled the air followed by Caleb's pained cry, he immediately stopped his work and hurried upstairs, the scene he saw made him speechless, Caleb was thrown mercilessly to a corner of the room like a rag doll and he was hanging upside down from the cabinet his legs got stuck in, he looked so ungraceful with his current situation, while Eleanor was sitting casually on the sofa, with her eyes closed as she toyed with the necklace she took from Caleb, suddenly Adrian's nose got invaded with the smell of blood mixed with buttercups, his gaze turned cold "you are injured" he exclaimed as he hurried to her side and her eyes flung open "get the first aid" she said and he became awkward, "I don't have one.., but I would get it" he said and she sighed "useless" she muttered and suddenly plucked a strand of his hair then she recited a brief spell, the hair floated and planted itself on the wound and immediately the wound healed, "that's even better than a first aid" Adrian exclaimed in admiration and Eleanor threw the necklace in her hand to him "I found that thief running through your jewelries" she said as she made her self comfortable on the sofa "thank...." "Adrian you bastard get me out of of here, you witch, what have you done to my friend" Caleb cried, "she is my mate you fool" Adrian retorted and Caleb looked at him wide eyed "how can your mate be a witch, are you being deceived by her current appearance, Adrian, witches are ugly scaly creatures it's not possible that she is your mate" Caleb cried and in the next minute he went crashing on the floor "you talk to much, I need to sleep" Eleanor muttered and Caleb glared at her in anger "I am a witch but I am different from those scaly murderers, don't put me with them" she said and turned to Adrian "darling, could you help me throw that noise maker outside" she muttered with a cute gaze and he smiled then immediately walked to grab Caleb by his ear and pulled him outside amidst his cries of protest. "Was she the one you wanted the silver for?" Caleb questioned "can't you tell she is trying to trouble you, have you gone out of your senses, you listen to her every command like she has charmed you, all because she is your mate, Adrian are you sure you are still fine?" Caleb cried "I haven't done anything extreme friend, I am only trying to win the heart of my mate. Good bye for now and thanks for the silver" Adrian waved as he casually strolled inside "you bastard you would never see me again, unless that creature leaves" Caleb cried and stormed off in the drizzling rain, his appearance looking funny. Adrian on the other hand strolled into the house and he sat on the sofa beside Eleanor who had her eyes closed, he looked closely at her with deep affection in his eyes, "can I rent a room in your home" Eleanor suddenly spoke as she sat up "you can have any room you want, you don't have to rent it" Adrian said immediately "thanks for the offer" she said as she picked her self up "if I get my silver necklace, I might consider your offer of being with you" she said and strolled upstairs while Adrian hurried to the basement excitedly to continue his work.
A week walked by. She sat by the window, her eyes looking out on the empty street while she listened to the boy beside her read her a book, "not all witches are bad" she mumbled without turning her gaze away from the window "you are the only good one I have seen mistress" the boy said and Eleanor sighed then tuned to the direction of the basement where the faint sound of hammer hitting metal was coming from, "he his one kind of a vampire, he his kind, devoted and hardworking" she said referring to Adrian but the boy said nothing, "I know you still don't like him for getting you wounded but he has been trying to make it up to you since a you got here" she said "he his only trying to impress you, Vampires can never let down their pride" the boy said "Melvin, you judge people too fast" Eleanor said "I am also not as holy as you think, I can be very cruel when taking revenge" she said "you don't fight those that don't offend you, you don't pay good back with evil, you feel what pity is, you try to help the needy in the little way you can, you took me in and healed me when you saw how weak my health was, you knew me from nowhere you just helped me out of good will and you still send medicines to my tribe, you are a good witch mistress" the boy said, "maybe" she muttered, just then the sound coming from the basement stopped and after few minutes Adrian came running out of the basement, a silver necklace in his gloved hand "here it is, I finished with your necklace" he said his face filled with joy, Eleanor looked at him in surprise, she carefully took the necklace from him, it was perfectly and carefully made with a plate that had the sentence "Adrian's bride, Eleanor" inscriped on it, she smiled and passed the necklace back to him, "could you help me put it on?" she muttered and he nodded and headed to get his other glove but she stopped him "I already placed a spell on it, it would have no effect on you" she said and he looked at her in disbelief, then gently touched the silver and indeed it had no effect on him, he smiled and helped her to put on the necklace then he smiled in satisfaction, it hung beautifully on her white neck and it added a touch of luxury to her skin, Melvin couldn't help but comment "it looks so beautiful on you mistress" he said as he passed a mirror to her and she nodded in acknowledgement "it's lovely" she muttered while running her hand on the surface of the necklace "Eleanor...." Adrian called his expression looking awkward and she turned to him "would you be my bride?" he muttered and Melvin frowned while Eleanor smiled "I already promised to besides I have no where else to go, so would Adrian accept me as his bride?" she asked and Adrian's face brightened with joy, he picked her up excitedly in a tight hug while Melvin sighed, his mistress suddenly became his enemy's woman right in front of him.
