DISCLAIMER: I OWN THIS STORY'S PLOT AND CHARACTERS.
Battlefield.
I rushed to him as he said "is everything okay?"
"We need to leave. Right now!"
"Calm down. What happened?" he asked cupping my face gently.
"I'll tell you later! Let's just go from here! Please!"
"But-"
Before he could say anything a pack of huge wolves attacked us! They came out of nowhere and they were more than 50! They resembled more with beasts than wolves.
I heard David's shout "Run!" while he pushed me a mile away from himself. I was frozen to the ground.
They weren't coming close to me but were just attacking David. I could see them biting him and what not!
These beasts were so huge! But I had to do something. I couldn't just stand there and watch them trying to bite David's head off.
One of them jumped on him while the other bit his leg as he pushed the third one off! It was all happening so fast. David dealt with one attack after another.
So being the idiot that I am, I ran towards David but a beast jumped in front of me and growled showing me all of its sharp teeth. He wasn't attacking me but he wouldn't let me move either.
I couldn't watch David getting attacked anymore so I made a decision and shouted "Stop! Please stop! I'll do what you want! Just please stop!"
The minute I said that they all stopped.
I heard 'you have 24 hours' and they all vanished as fast as they had appeared.
David was looking at me like he was seeing a whole new person. "What the hell was that? Who were you talking to?"
I rushed to grab him since he was wounded and bleeding profoundly.
"Don't touch me!" He said looking extremely mad at me. "You knew about this attack didn't you? Were you working with them? I trusted you!" His voice sounded like he was in a lot of pain.
"Please just hear me out! I can explain! I-"
"Now that I think about it, you knew about your mother's injury and the time when Lindsay was attacked and just now you wanted to leave. You knew about all this! Why did you do this?" He sounded so defeated. I couldn't bear it. It's my entire fault.
"Please get some help first. I promise I'll explain later."
"I'm going to be fine. I can't say the same about my heart."
Hearing him say this was heartbreaking.
"Okay fine I'll explain it to you when you start healing now please let me help you."
"I don't need your help." He was being stubborn so I went to him and grabbed him anyway.
Despite his attempt to push me away I grabbed him and helped him sit on a bench. I applied pressure on his wounds to stop the bleeding. The healing had kicked in.
"I was afraid something would happen to you."
"Werewolf bites are fatal to vampires but not to the pure bloods, we can heal those vampires too. They just hurt more than anything and take time to heal. Too many bites may lead to death because we might lose too much blood."
"Does this mean you could've died tonight?" I said. My voice was breaking because I had started crying. I was so pathetic.
Looking at me crying he sighed and said "Can you now explain what's going on?"
I started from saying "You're going to think I'm crazy but I had some sort of premonitions. I didn't know what was going on. This voice said to me if I didn't kill myself he would hurt my mother. It's the day we went camping and I fell in the lake. The second one came when your grandfather was here and I almost burnt my hand. It was the one about Lindsay. And now I had one about you. He said he would hurt you." I was almost hysterical by now.
He hugged me tightly and asked "why didn't you tell me this before?"
"I didn't know how to tell this to you without sounding absolutely crazy. Plus I didn't know it would actually happen but he's carried out every threat he has made so far. I know I should've told you all of this earlier. But I'm really sorry."
He sighed and said "It's okay. We'll fix it. It's a man? Have you seen his face?" how could he be so understanding? Why isn't he mad at me? How can someone be so perfect?
"No it's just a voice, it's manly but he referred to himself as 'we' this time so I'm assuming it's not just one person."
"Do you think it's the same person who killed all the other girls?" I asked.
"I don't know but something really complicated is going on."
"David... If something happened to you..." I said looking down to my hands.
"Nothing will happen to me" he hugged me tighter.
"I can't take that chance..."
Suddenly getting angry he said "Elizabeth don't you dare think, even for a second, that you're going to kill yourself. Or help me God I will follow you and bring you back." He gave me a short yet passionate kiss.
"Let's go back inside. Let me handle this situation and don't tell anyone." He tried getting up but he fell down.
"I need human blood. I've lost too much." He sighed.
"Take mine." I offered.
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me. Take my blood." Before he could refuse I said "If you send me back to get you some I'll get lost anyway and I'm good enough blood right here."
He hesitated but I encouraged him by giving him full access to my neck.
"I can't.."
"Why not?!"
"I've got werewolf venom in me. If I bite you it'll hurt, I won't be able to control it."
"It's okay. Just do it."
It was my fault anyway so he deserves to drain me all out if he wishes.
"No. It's not your fault. You got dragged into all this because you're marrying me. So don't ever blame yourself for any of this. I'm an idiot to think you would have conspired against me in the first place. Although you should've told me this before, you don't need to hide anything from me." He held my hands in his and looked me in the eye. "I love you a lot. More than you will ever know. The sun is about to rise we must hurry back to the palace."
"Okay. But in order to get back someone needs energy so chop chop drink away." I said jokingly.
I put my hair on one side and he grabbed it with his hand. "You look ravishing like this." He said in a husky voice, gave my neck a light kiss and bit in.
I would be lying if I said it didn't hurt but I could be a strong brave girl.
When I started feeling a little light headed I said "David.."
Instantly he let me go. "I hope I didn't hurt you too much..?"
"No I'm okay" I gave him a weak smile but the minute I stood up I immediately had to sit down due to the dizziness.
"Tch and here you said you were okay." He said jokingly.
"We both know what happens when someone donates their blood." I smirked back.
"Oh so now you donate blood to us poor vampires in need?" he smirked back and leaned in for a short sweet kiss. "We need to get back it's almost dawn."
He picked me up and carried me back. He wasn't as fast as he had been when he first carried me.
Just as we entered, King Edward who was standing next to Queen Mia said in a low yet deadly voice "Where were you both?"
David put me down as Queen Mia stood with a distressed face "Are you guys okay?" she was about to rush to me but King Edward stopped her with a hand gesture.
"I asked a question."
I looked at David confused as he was having a staring competition with his father.
"Edward look at him he has blood all over him, spit your anger away for a minute and let us be civil about this situation." Queen Mia said in a kind voice. You could tell the agony in her eyes of a mother wanting to comfort her child yet David stood still with his fists clenched.
The more I got deeper into this family the more I could clearly see their true colors and clearly David and his father didn't get along.
"Who said you could leave this palace without my consent? And how dare you sneak out of the party like this? Specially a party in your honor! Have you forgotten your duties already?-" he said raising his voice. I could feel David getting angry but he remained silent.
Before he could raise his voice any further at David I interjected "It's not Davids fault-"
"Do not interrupt me young lady! Remember your place; you are not yet part of this family! So David this is why you chose to disgrace your father? For her?" He looked at my neck and carried on with disgust in his voice. "Why would you want your reputation to be tarnished! You know how many issues are created to oppose a succession! Stop putting my son's inheritance in jeopardy." Then he looked at David "If that was the case you didn't need to leave the premise. You can get these pleasures within this palace from a common whor-"
He was interrupted by a loud roar which scared the living daylights out of me. He was standing right in front of his dad, face to face. "Don't you dare." Was all he said.
I hadn't seen his scary side which was pretty terrifying now that I have witnessed parts of it.
King Edward looked flabbergasted yet he could not utter a single syllable in front of his son and right there I realized exactly how terrifying he could be.
As silence enveloped us he grabbed my hand and led me to his room.
"Hey don't be mad, I shouldn't have interrupted your father-"
"No it's not okay for him to have talked to you the way he did. He won't talk to you like this ever again. It's already 5 and you need to get some rest before breakfast at 10. I'll ask someone to wake you up in time."
"But what about the attack-"
"Let me and James worry about that. Stay put."
"What about the fight with your dad? Do you think everyone heard it?"
"No we have the first witch; Lindsay's mother, perform a spell before such events that make our rooms sound proof when the king or me are in to maintain confidentiality. Now please rest." He came close to me and gave me a light goodnight kiss but I could tell how tensed and exhausted he was. "Don't worry about anything love, it'll all be okay, I promise." He said in a soft tone. You would not be able to think that roar could have passed from the same lips.
Before he could turn away I told him "I love you."
"Love you too baby." He said with his hand in my hair. "I have to go now." He kissed my forehead and I closed my eyes.
The next thing I knew he was gone.
I thought maybe sleeping would be an impossible task but the minute I got in bed I couldn't even conjure enough energy to change my cloths so I slept. Like a baby.
So this wasn't even part of the original story nor was the chapter before this one. In fact I feel like I'm writing something I hadn't originally envisioned but meh sounds good so far no? :P
Let me know what you think by reviewing :)
