Hi guys. So I read a fic, where Bella's gift was to fall asleep. So I've decided to write a fanfic about a vamp (not Bella) who's gift is the same. Maybe it'll be one-shots collection. Dunno.
I own nothing. Enjoy.
She has a gift, and it may sound horrible and strange, but she can sleep. Sure, each mortal can do this, and take it for granted. Laying in the bed in your room, maybe with you wife or husband, dreaming about sweet things.
Every immortal she crosses her path with thinks it's a blessing.
The thinks it's her curse for her sins.
She was told from the start vampires couldn't and needn't sleep at all, and she war really, really relieved. She didn't want the nightmares of her human life to come back again. And she knew they would.
Living in this horrific world she can't feel safe enough to actually fall asleep, so just meditates like any other vampire. Of course, she doesn't have enough energy to fight or hunt normally, but now she is somehow used to it.
She was just longing for peace.
And then she met him. A refugee from Southern wars, a frightening and intimidating soldier, all covered with scars. The vampire, who nobody wanted to cross paths with.
However, only he could understand her caution and paranoia. Need to always be aware of the surroundings, need to cover your back. Desperate need to feel safe and protected.
Thirty years of waiting are now left behind, and they fall asleep together, her head on his shoulder, their fingers intertwined.
