Elena Gilbert from "The vampire diaries".
Denmark – May 2015:
And she is pregnant. I feel sick like I am going to throw up. I hate her. I go to sit at the table at my normal place with Wrath to my right side and Jack to my left side. I sight and want to kill someone, as I see, who is sitting in front of me. Victor. With that thing next to him. Her. Besides him is one off his brothers, whom I do not know. I fake a smile, as I look at Victor, then I look at her. Brunette, big green eyes, pretty, thin as a pregnant woman, who is in least 2 – 4 months pregnant can be and pale skin. She has no tattoos, no piercings – so a good girl. I think that she is about 24 – 26 years old, which I think is about the only thing that we have in common. That and we both love and have had sex with Victor. Not much. I look at her and roll my eyes. I fake a smile, as she looks at me.
"I do not think we have been introduced. I am Angelus Pendragon." I say.
"Emma Hale, Victor´s girlfriend." She says.
"You are? Victor has told so much about you." I lie. Much for me own pleasure, as it is to hurt Victor. I know it is not one off my finest moments, but I could not stop it. He had more than enough time to say: "Hey Angelus. Just so you know I have a girlfriend back in America." But he did not. He did not tell me. Why did he not tell me? I love him for some random reason, which I think has something to do with the whole soulfinder thing. Why do I even care?
"Ooh, he has." She says. So there are problems in their relationship. Well that could be why…
"Yes, but he did not say anything about you being pregnant. I would have remembered that." I say, which really get Victor´s attention. This is even more interesting: He did not know.
"He did not? Well that must be an oversight from his side."
"Yeah, it must be. How far along are you? 2 – 4 months?"
"3 months."
"Congratulations. Children are a blessing."
"Thank you. Do you have children yourself?"
"Yes, I have 5 wonderful children. I do not, what I should do without them. They are the light off my life." I say smiling, as I think about my five little miracles.
"That is a…" Emma is stopped by one off servants, who say: "Angelus, there is a guest for you."
"Okay." I say – just glad I have a reason for leaving the table. It is awkward enough, without being here. I leave the sinking ship to see, who dares come here. I am really not in the mood for guest or people. But it is my 'lucky' day due to the fact it is Zaccy. As soon as I see him, I start to run forwards him. He opens his arms, and I run directly into them. He closes them behind me. I am, where I belong. God, I have missed him.
'Thank you for coming, Zaccy. But why are you here?' I ask him. Not that I care. He is here that is all that matters.
'I missed you.' As he says this, I smile. I am truly happy all because off him.
"I missed you." I whisper in Zaccy´s left ear.
"Are you hungry?" I say, after he breaks the hug. He nods.
"Then come on. We have more than enough food."
"Are you sure?" I nod and laugh. As we walk in the eating room I feel a lot of people staring at us. There is made a space for him next to me. Now Victor can taste his own medicine.
'Will you do me a favor? Pretty please.' I ask Zaccy telepathically.
'Anything for you. You should by now know that.'
'Just wanted to be sure.'
'What can I do?'
'Do you see the tall, dark haired man with the very serious face?'
'Yeah, what about him?'
'Let us say: He did not tell me that he has a girlfriend, who are pregnant with his child?' Some people think that Zaccy and I are in love. Yeah, I love him, and he loves me. But we both know that we can never have one other.
'I am going to kill him.' Zaccy is very protected off me. On a way like siblings, whom sort has romantically feeling towards one other. We know that we can never be together, but that does not mean that we do not care about one other. Zaccy´s soulfinder died in front of him, as he held her. He was 10. And that marked him. It is one off the reason, why he hates his looks. Yeah, he looks amazing, and it can bring him many thing – but it cannot bring make the one thing he desires the most. His soulfinder. Juliet that is her name. Sometimes I hate her for dying and leaving Zaccy behind, but the years they had together – 3 – helped be the man he is today. And I am her grateful for that.
'Please, do not.'
'I cannot promise anything.'
'Will you help?'
'What can I do?'
'Pretend that you and I are more than friends.'
'We are.'
'Yeah, we are apart off a family.'
'Yeah, and you never hurt family. Ever.'
'You are so right.' I stop our conversation, as we sit down. I smile toward Wrath, who nods to Zaccy as a hallo.
"Zachary, it has been a while." Jack says.
"Yes, it has. But it is nice to be back." Zaccy says.
"It is not like that we did not ask you to come, if I remember correctly. You always said no." I say with a smile to Zaccy. He likes been alone. I shake my head.
"Yeah, but I did not want to you be tired off me."
"Like that is an option. We all love you. Well I do, and so does most off the people I for so reason call brothers. All the children adore you. Most off my brothers´ wives does the same." I say. Victor stops up and stares, then I said that I love Zaccy.
"You are too kind." He says, and I laugh.
"She is not. You off all people should know that she always says, what she thinks. Regardless off the conservers. I do not think that she knows, what the word 'kind' means, or what do you think, Victor? You have had some time to get to know her. Is she kind or brutally honest? What do you think?" Wrath says. Zaccy and I look at one other and smirk.
"Well, I think that she is brutally honest. She does, what she thinks is right regardless off other´s opinion. She is honest. So never ask her a question, which you cannot handle to hear the truth to." Victor says.
'He has really fallen for you.'
'I am not sure. I think that it is, because we are soulfinders. Nothing more.'
'Let me get this right: You are soulfinders?'
'Yes.'
'And he has a girlfriend, who is pregnant?'
'I am going to kill him. Mass murder him.'
'Relax, Zaccy! There will be no killing – on less I do the killing. Is that understood?'
'Yes. It is, but keep him far away from the team and Sax. They will not back off as easy as I do.'
A week has pasted, and it is the Benedict family´s last day here, before they head back to the States. I hate Emma. I hate her. She makes me want to throw up. I have felt sick these last few days. I do not know, what is wrong with me. I just hope it will past, and will go back to feeling normal. Well as normal as I can. I see Victor heading towards me. I have ignored him ever since finding out that he has a pregnant girlfriend. I hear Athena and Diamond talk very too loudly. I dislike her. She is all about peace, love and harmony. I understand that, but she thinks that world peace is an opportunity. She has never been in a war zone. She has basally no idea about, what it is like. I dislike her and Athena. Both so… I just dislike them. A lot.
"Angelus, can we talk, before I have to leave?" Victor asks.
"Off course. I have a feeling that you want to say something, so go ahead." I say as cold, as I can.
"Thank you. I understand why you have ignored me ever, since Emma came…" I stop him: "Stop, dude. I do not mind that you speak, but if you are going to say that name one more time, then I am going to throw up." Victor looks at me. He looks tired, like he has not got enough sleep.
"Are you ill?" He asks.
"I think it is just stomach flu. I will be okay."
"Good. I did not know that Em… that she was pregnant. She never told me. I should have told that you that I had a girlfriend. I do not know why I did not. Well I do. I feared that you would not give me a chance, if you knew. I fell in love with so quickly and afterwards I did not look back. I look forwards. I started dreaming about our life. Together. And when my family came I was happy over the fact that I could tell them that I finally had met the one. You. But she was here, which I had happily forgotten. And then I found out that she was pregnant I was in shock. I was not thinking about her. I was thinking about you. How would you react? What should I do to make you accept it? Everything. I cannot live without you. So what I am saying is: Please, stay with me. I know that it is a lot and soon – too soon. But I love you. You said once that you love me too. Do you still love me?"
"Yeah, I never stop. I tried. I really tried, but you are hard to fall out of love with. Even if you have a pregnant girlfriend, who I really want to kill."
"That is a beginning. I know that I have no right, but who were that man?" I smile.
"You are right: You have no right, but I will answer anyway. That man? Do you mean Zaccy? He is a very good friend, who I love a lot. But we will never be together, because off a lot of things."
"Okay. So where do we stand?" Victor says.
