Claire's pov
When I woke up I was staring at Myrnin. It took me a second to remember what had happened last night. He looked so peaceful while he slept. His face completely open without any guards. His lips curled up a bit in a small smile.
It was hard to believe that this was the same man who people referred to as a monster. Who he himself referred to as a monster. I couldn't see it even when he was at his worse. Even when I knew he had killed.
I still couldn't see him as a monster. I found my fingers move on their own. As my fingers gently traced his lips. I saw the twitch of his lips and knew he was awake.
"You know... I think I very much like waking up to you making a move on me." He joked. I playfully hit his arm. Suddenly he was on top of me. He playfully tickled me knowing I was ticklish.
I squealed, "Myrnin...stop... stop..." I said between fits of laughter. I knew we should probably keep it down. Yet I also knew Micheal had to have known the moment Myrnin had entered the house. So it wasn't like I was hiding anything.
He slowed his tickling but didn't move from the position we ended up in. His legs on either side of my hips. His hands on my sides. His back slightly bent as he was leaned down a bit.
My hands had been grabbing at his wrist. I dropped my hands and waited to see what he would do. He slowly moved my hair that had gotten in my face in his tickle attack back. His fingers slowly caressed my cheek.
We stared unblinking into each others eyes. Slowly he moved off but stayed hovering over me. His hands now on either side of my head. He lowered his head and my eyes snapped shut just as his lips touched mine.
It was so soft and slow, yet the pool of lava forming in the lower part of my abdomen was a stark contrast to this soft loving kiss. My skin tingled and buzzed. One of his hand softly played with my hair. I wanted more but didn't think Micheal would appreciate hearing us having sex he already had to deal with that before.
He pulled away and took a moment to compose himself. I did the same. That was when I remembered the book. He was sitting on the edge of the bed I crawled up on my knees and wrapped my arms around him resting my chin on his head like he's done to me alot.
"Myrnin will you help read something for me?" I asked. I knew he would but I still asked. "Of course my love what is it?" He replied putting his hand on my arm.
I moved from my position and got the book from my bag. I flipped through the pages till I found the ones in latin. I handed it to him. He read them silently first then out loud in english.
This page he said pointing to the first page says, " Joseph had come upon a pureblood in siberia. This women was named Natashia. She offered him information on a beast, stronger than purebloods in exchange for help. Natashia had made enemies with a powerful being, she wanted Josephs help."
"If she gave him the information he and his group were to keep her safe. He agreed to it as she didn't pose a threat at the moment. So she told him that two purebloods had decided to try to have a child together. They suceeded and the women gave birth to a child."
"The child was a boy. For years they kept him hidden and he had been mistaken as a pureblood. They had given the child away so it would be kept a secret. The boys father was murdered by the Council who was at the time in charge of keeping track of purebloods. "
"The boys father was deemed a threat when he lost control and destroyed a villiage. He was sentenced to death. Later the boy found his mother and having a grudge against her for leaving him the boy murdered his mother. Joseph was told that the boy was after Natashia as she had helped a man escape him. "
"She said this boy was powerful. She wasn't sure of the extent of his power but she did warn him of what she did know. The boy could create illusions. He could bend time at will. "
"He could control animals. He could turn invisible, but the most remarkable was the fact that the boy could fly. He could create wings and fly. Some believed that he was a fallen angel. "
"Joseph was hesitant to believe Natasha. Because he had never heard of such a being. She said she would show him the proof. Though he doubted that such a creature could exist he allowed the women to show him."
"She had the gift to send her memories through touch. She touched Josephs forhead with her own. When it was over Joseph was horrified and explained that indeed such a creature existed. He described the creature to them. "
"The boy had long straight black hair, pale skin, and eyes the color of Sapphire. He was said to be tall and though fit not bulky. His wings were as black as night. It was theorized that he had gained this trait due to the goddess Nyx which was said to be the creator of the vampire race."
"It was then concluded that when two pure bloods bred they created a creature closer in likeness to the first. The council deemed him an abomination and they decided that it was without a doubt for the best that they end him on sight."
Myrnin's eyes gave nothing away. He turned to the next page. " They gathered the strongest in their group. The group contained two purebloods of their own. "
"Alexandria and Zalderon. The rest of the group were the remaining council. Joseph joined them but first sent word to the East of the creatures existence. This was so if anything were to happen the next brethren could take charge in hunting the beast."
"It says that they forced Natasha to go along as well. There was no survivors and those of the East took up the hunt. Failing one by one in the end." Myrnin finished staring off in thought.
"Do you think it's true?" I asked him. That was the issue with things like this, it was hard to decipher myth from truth. "It could be... I mean I didn't think purebloods could exist I wrote that off as myth so it's possible, but wouldn't there be more about this creature?" He pointed out.
I thought for a moment. "What if there is. You said some believed he was a fallen angel. So just like how sirens are also the name given to draug... what if "fallen angels" are what they called beings like him." I pointed out he nodded in thought.
"That could be... but then that would have to mean there were more like him. I'm not saying it's not possible...but the chances are slim..." He trailed off. I nodded this was one of the many reasons we worked so well together. We could point out what the other might miss. He closed the book and set it on the bed.
"I'll meet you at the house in two hours. I'm going to get a shower and set up stuff so we can practice your control." He said already standing. He kissed both my cheeks before leaving.
I decided to grab a shower myself. I chewed over the information I had just learned. I argued back and fourth with myself. Though by the time I shut the water off I still had no idea if I believed it or not.
I mean if Vampires could give birth then it would make sense that pure bloods could also wouldn't it? Yet to have traits that date so far back to the supposed first vampire was too far fetched. Then again I once thought vampires were impossible as well I reminded myself. I dressed while I thought.
The thing that bugged me was if such creatures existed where were they? Then again I asked myself where were all the purebloods as well? Shouldn't there be more? Than again it was rare... so it would make sense that to create a child from two pure bloods would be even rarer.
By the time I had to go to Myrnins I pushed all thoughts on the matter away. Right now I needed to focus on my own issues. Which was learning to control my powers.
When I arrived at the house I was expecting the same set up as last time. Instead of candles I found cups of water. I tilted my head confused what exactly was that man planning? I didn't have to wait long as Myrnin came down the stairs.
"Today we are going to see if you can chanel the power to freeze things." He lifted his chin towards the cups of water. I hadn't frozen anything so I wasn't sure how this was supposed to work. Myrnin sensed my hesitation and tried to suggest different tactics.
By the end of it I had broken two cups by accidently pushing them. I had made the water boil over in one, and I had made absolutely nothing happen to the other four. Myrnin suggested we take a break something I was greatful for. He handed me a bottle of blood and we sat in silence for a moment while I greedily gulped it down.
After he reset the table with glasses of water once again. This time I had avoided breaking any glasses... but that's only because absolutely nothing happened. I tugged at my hair in frustration. I was surprised Myrnin had the patience to deal with training me.
I checked the time, I would have to leave if I planned to get to class on time. I felt Myrnin come up behind me as I grabbed my bag replacing my notebook and pen. His arms wrapped around me from behind and his head went to my shoulder.
"Do you really have to leave right now?" He whispered suggestively. I shivered as his voice seemed to send tingles down my spine. "Yes or ill be late for class...I have to go home change and grab my books." I said trying to ignore the state he put my body in.
"Fine but tomorrow be prepared to be pounced on the moment you enter." He said it as a promise. A promise that almost made me want to skip AP Physics Mechanics. Which was the one class I actually got to choose on my own. I kissed him quickly then left before he could do anything that may actually convince me.
