"Oh okay, Claude." We sat at the table in front of each other. "First off, do you have any sympathy?"
"No. That is why I'm here with you." He bluntly replied the reason why he's here.
I sighed. "Okay… But asking you questions will make me think of ways to help you with emotions." I didn't know how to help Claude. Why did I even agree to help him? Was it because I felt pity for him?
"You're having second thoughts aren't you?" I nodded my head, agreeing with Claude. I couldn't hide it from him.
"I don't know how to help you. It's hard for me to do that since…." I couldn't finish my sentence.
"Forget it, Elena." Claude looked agitated as he moved his hands around with force.
"Cl-" I was stopped by Claude.
He shot his hand to the door. "Go. Just go. Sebastian is going to be running like a madman if he doesn't have his lady next to him. Asking you for help was a waste of my time." He pushed up his glasses. "I was only trying to make Sebastian mad, and I got what I wanted." He blew off steam as he revealed his intention.
I slammed my hands on the table, standing up in irritation. "Sebastian was right about you." I stormed out of the house to find the Manor.
The crack of dawn was out and it was a bit chilly since it's early morning. I didn't care if the whole world hears me. "SEBASTIAN! SEBASTIAN!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.
I was suddenly pulled back by Claude. "Elena?! What are you doing?! It's early morning and people are sleeping! There still are creatures lurking out here until the sun hits us!" He was trying to pull me back inside the house.
"You are a demon, Claude! They won't hurt you. Sebastian will come and rescue me because…"
"Because what?!"
"Because he will! And I know he will come if I scream his damn name since I don't know where I am!" That was my last shout as I felt tired and a bit light headed. "Let go of me. I want to go home." I coldly said, glaring at him.
"Fine. Go ahead and leave. Call Sebastian." He let go of me, letting me walk off to not stop me. And I didn't turn back. I can't even make friends who I think are good people. I'm just surrounded by lies.
I walked further away from the house in the forest. "Sebastian," I called out his name again and again. "Come and take me…" I didn't even try to yell no more. I was already lost in the forest. "I need you, Sebastian. I'm relying on you...because that's how I am now." I sadly sighed, settling down on a big rock. I gazed at the trees that was dark green. It felt like an endless tunnel where I can't find the sun to show me the path of home. "Maybe I'll die out here and you'll be happy with it, Sebastian, since you've never wanted me right from the start. And all these words around me, telling me about my pregnancy makes me wonder about you. If you really want this." I laid flat on the rock, shutting my eyes to nap as I shivered a little.
I felt something over me. My hands touched what was on me, and it was a black coat. Turning my head back, I saw a distress Sebastian peering down at me with his red eyes. "Sebastian…" His name slipped out from my mouth. I quickly sat up to get a clear view of him. "Am I going home now?"
He grasped both of my shoulders and pulled me up to him, faces almost touching as I was shaken by his sudden movement. "Do you think I'll be happy with your death? I might not be educated in this new pregnancy but I'm still learning. I don't know if I'm doing things right or wrong. And I didn't know not eating human food would affect you too. I've calmed myself from yesterday because I wanted you all to myself, not intending to share."
"Claude only said that to irk you. I don't even know who to trust now. It was both of our faults, Sebastian." I went in for a hug. I took him in by surprise as his skin jumped, but then reciprocate to my warm hug. There was a kiss on my head planted by Sebastian.
"I'm taking you home to feed you." He swooped me up in his arms and jumped out of the forest to the Manor.
No matter what I do, I always have the urge to go back to Sebastian. I needed him with me. I rely on him so much that he's essential in my life, surprisingly. I remember being tough skinned but what happened to me now?
"Here's some food." Sebastian placed the plate of food in front of me as he stood next to me. "Alois Trancy and Claude went back to their estate."
I gulped the food down my throat. "That's good to hear." Then I took another stab at the nicely cut stake and put it in my mouth to chew on until it was mush.
Silence filled the air that it started to worry me. "Sebastian, what happened if I don't survive through the pregnancy?" I asked as random question. "Because of everything since I'm just human. I don't think my body can take all that pressure of pushing out a demon baby." I left my fork in the meat and turned to look at Sebastian.
He leaned his head closer to mine as I felt his hot breath against my face. "We'll find a way." He closed the space between us by a passionate kiss out of nowhere.
I didn't respond to the kiss. "Sebastian…" I just stared at him, not knowing how to react to this. Is this really love between us? Because I thought we were taking it slow.
"You might have many thoughts about what we said to each other, but I want to kiss, hold, and touch you. I do love you very much, Elena, and I know you love me but you're not sure of it. The heart wants what it wants, doesn't it?" He cupped my face with his gloved hands and pecked a kiss on my forehead, cheeks, then lastly lips. It was a five second kiss in the lips. "Let's get you stuffed with food so you won't have complication with underweight and all." He grabbed the fork to feed me.
"You don't have to." I went to grab the fork but he moved it away from my reach.
"No. I'll take care of my woman and nurse you back to health."
"But I'm not sick. I'm alright, I guess."
"You're too thin, you need more meat. I'll grab you souls later after this meal and two." He smiled softly, showing his soft side to me, making him adorable for a demon like him who craves for souls and contracts.
"I wonder if he or she will be somewhat like you? And what part will they take from me?" I whispered to myself, getting fed by Sebastian.
