Sneak Peek

The Revelation IV

Air burst into his lungs, and before he knew it, he breathed a mouthful of air as his eyes flew open. He was facing the white ceiling above him. It was a bit warm, and so his quickly scanned the room, in which he realized, he was actually in his room. Also, he felt a bit numb, so he tried to move. He made a very small movement since suddenly felt the pain in doing so. He let out a little groan escape from his lips as he tried to move his fingers, and he successfully did ever so slightly, because he found himself feeling a weight on his right hand. He turned his head to his side, and saw that there was a mane of brown hair, lying by his side, its hand lying on top of his.

As if with a loud bang inside his head, memories came flashing back before his eyes. He perfectly remembered what happened now. And as he continued to stare at the gorgeous mane at his side, he finally recognized whose it was. Not just that, but he glared as anger dawned inside him. With a snarl and a low growl, he finally made a sound, "Oh, I'm going to kill him…" And he didn't realize that he made some movements. Sure, it felt painful, but it didn't matter now, because he was furious. But he also didn't realize that he awakened the one who has the brunette mane.

"Damon?" She whispered as she gave his hand a slight squeeze. With the sound of his name, he turned to look at her. She was now sitting up straight, looking at him with such concerned eyes. He knew who she was, of course. How could he forget? He's been with her for months now, almost for a year. Looking at her now made him feel different, especially now because he's in a very vulnerable state. He had to admit he was surprised to see her there, to be by his side, when he expected to wake up alone… "Oh Damon," She sat down by the edge of the bed, by the side of his body. She held his hand and brought it to her cheek and then kissed his palm. "You're alive!" She breathed with her eyes turning glassy with tears, and a faint smile crept on her lips. "I am so sorry that he did this to you…" She added as she went towards him and hugged him. Her hair long neck was brushing his neck, and now she gave him a kiss on his cheek, and then by his jawline. She then sat back up as she looked at him, this time with a different gaze. Her deep green eyes turned dark as she inhaled deeply and glared. "Nicklaus will pay…"

He now tried to sit up but she pushed him down. With her tremendous strength, he was down again. "No…" She said. "You're still weak." Then, she bit on her wrist, and immediately brought it to his lips. "Drink; my blood has helped you recover very well…" And so, he did what he was told. His weak hands holding her forearm and her hand gently, he drank on it. Sure enough, he tasted the ecstasy, the power… Blood was what he needed right now. And maybe her vampire blood was the one who helped him, but afterwards when he recovered enough, he can go and have a good kill or two. When he was finished, he let go of her wrist, and she withdrew it back slowly with a smile. She then brought out a piece of cloth and covered it on her bloody wrist.

"How long have I been here?" He asked. He barely even recognized his voice since it became hoarse and low. This time, he felt himself getting stronger with the blood, so now he tried to sit up, in which he successfully did.

"Almost a week," She replied. "I was afraid we lost you…" She added. Her eyes suddenly became sad, and they were casted down. But he couldn't get to say something else. He was rather speechless. And so, he put his hand on top of hers that made her look at him.

"Thank you…" He managed to say. "For saving me," He added as his icy blue eyes looked directly at her deep green ones with such warmth. Elizabeth managed a soft smile.
