I woke to find the spot next to me on the bed was empty. I look around for a note. There was no note, I get up, hoping Daniel was making us breakfast. I walk down stairs and see a trail of blood. I follow the trail. It leads me into the living room. I open the door and look in, Kade standing over Diamond, who is laying limb on the floor. I suck in a breathe, and scream. Kade looks up right before the door slams closed, and I make a break for it. I can hear pounding feet following me. I run into something slippery and land on something hard and cold. I look down and scream, standing up and backing away. Kade grabs hold of me.
"Don't scream and I won't make you suffer." I make no move, he loosens his hand and I slip out n run for the back door.
"DAMMIT SAPPHIRE! Get back here!" I keep running and running. It seems like forever until I don't hear feet behind me, but even then I keep running. I fall down suddenly exhausted and heart broken. I lie down on the dirty floor and close my eyes. Letting the tears fall, I go to sleep.
I wake up in the woods. It was real, why does this always happen to me. I hear yelling in the distance and I stand up and run for it, not even wanting to see if it's Kade trying to get me or something else. I run and run, I see a sign that says free bed and breakfast for one night. I walk to it, glad to finally see a normal looking house, not ugly but not beautiful. I walk in and go up the old lady.
"Excuse me ma'am I was wondering if…" I get cut off by her
"You will star at 6am tomorrow and you will run the desk out here. It pays well but you can't quit till 1949. Have a fun life, little vampire." Mortified I go into the room she gives me a key to and lay down.
1950 in Hawaii
I run on the beach glad to finally get out of the stuffy hotel and be somewhere with an ocean. I run into the ocean and swim around for a little bit. I go out far. I bump into someone as I go backwards.
"Oh excuse me." I say turning around. Memories flash before my eyes as I see Daniel looking straight into my eyes.
"Its okay miss, I'm sure you didn't mean it. Do I know you?" he asks confusion clouding his eyes.
"I don't know, do I know you?" I ask looking as confused as him.
"My name is Daniel Potter if that helps at all." He obviously doesn't remember me at all. I look down.
"My name is Sapphire Redrose." I smile. "I used to know you, from a while back, I can't believe how young you look. I start tearing up.
"Sapphire," he hugs me and holds on for dear life. I smile and bury my face in his chest. Letting all the emotions I've had bottled up for centuries out. I feel him lift up my face, kissing me deeply. I smile, hoping this isn't a dream. We swim around and catch up. Daniel is annoyed with Satan. I just found out that Daniel is a demon and so was Kade. I just stare at him, not believing a word he says. I shake my head but decide to believe him, I mean I'm a vampire what's the difference. We finally get out of the ocean.
"Sapphire, would you like to have dinner with me tonight?" He smiles, already knowing my answer.
"Of course, I would love too." I smile back, give him a hug and run up to my room to get ready. I pull out my sexy dress and do my hair. I'm smiling the whole time. Once I get into the lobby, I see him instantly. I walk over like gravity is pulling me. We hold hands as we walk to the diner across the street. I laugh, I feel like I'm in heaven.
"Sapphire, what would you like?" I look over the menu one more time and decide on Shrimp and Steak entrée.
"Shrimp and Steak entrée, thank you." I smile and hand over my menu to the waiter. The waiter smiles back at me, a hint of flirt in his eyes. I notice and flirt with my eyes back. Daniel coughs.
"I would like the same and two raspberry margaritas." He hands over his menu without a second glance. I giggle.
"Well someone got pretty jealous." I wink at Daniel. He laughs.
"Of course not! I did not get jealous!" He rolls his eyes at me. I roll my eyes back, smiling like an idiot. Daniel laughs.
"I love it when you smile." He grins, looking straight into my eyes. I giggle. "I love it when you say things like that." I smile. I finally feel happy for once in my life. It feels like the first night we had it all to ourselves, the night everything went wrong. I look down, feeling the memories of that night and the next day pile onto me.
"Here are your margaritas." He sets them down. He smiles at me and leaves. Daniel glares and I sigh.
"Boys are such work, why do we even have them?" I ask, mostly to myself, somewhat to Daniel. He laughs.
"Darling if I knew the answer to that, do you think I would be sitting here?" He laughs. I take that a little offensive.
"What do you mean by that? Would you rather be with another girl right now? Is there somewhere more important that you need to be?" I glow with angrier. I sip some of my margarita and calm down.
"Sapphire, I'm sorry I didn't mean anything by it. I was just joking. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else, but here with you." He looks lovingly into my eyes. My eyes tear up a bit.
"Daniel, if you ever leave me, I will never forgive you." I wipe away my tears, slide back my chair and leave to my room. I can't believe I did that. I lay awake on my bed, crying my eyes out. I finally cry myself to sleep. I wake up to breakfast next to the bed and a note with a rose. I open the note first.
Dear Sapphire, I'm very sorry about last night. I didn't mean anything by what I said. Life hasn't been fair to you, I know this. Kade is gone. I'm sorry he did that to you, I'm sorry I did that to you. I hope you forgive me and let me make it up to you. Whenever you wake up and see this, come down to the beach. I'll be waiting until you come. I'll wait for weeks if it takes that. I love you more than you can imagine. Have a safe trip. Please come.
Daniel, your true love.
I smile at myself. I eat breakfast and get ready to go down to the beach. I put on my bikini, makeup and straighten my hair. I put on a cover up dress. As I was down the walkway I realize how much I love Daniel. Even if Daniel isn't here with me forever, I will always love him. I see Daniel, I break out into a run and jump on his back. Daniel freaks but sees me kiss his cheek. He relaxes.
"I didn't think you'd come." He smiles slinging me in front of him. I smile and kiss him.
"How could I let my true love get away from that easy?" Daniel looks guiltily away.
"Daniel what's wrong?" I ask him, concerned.
"I wish I didn't have this burning in my pocket or I'd do this a little more romantic." He laughs and gets down on one knee. He pulls out a box. I grin, he opens the box and this HUGE diamond, gold banded ring is in there. My mouth drops open. He grabs the ring out.
"Sapphire, will you marry?" He asks, very serious.
"Yes, of course!" He slides the ring onto my finger and I jump on him, hugging him. He hugs me back. He picks me up bridal style and carries me over to a chair. I giggle and seal my lips to his. He pulls away, breathing in air. I feel like I can't get close enough. I kiss him again and we do that until the sunsets.
I wake up in Daniels arms. I look at the clock and its only 6am. I go back to sleep.
