Bella loved it and still loves it. That caring attitude he rarely shows, the fight he won just for her and the sweet hug that embraced and swallowed all her fears. Now he remained silent throughout the journey to his home. Dropping her gently on his sofa with passionate eyes that said it all; how he would not watch his mere human be taken away from him, how he would tear his enemies into pieces just for her. Although, she knew it took him great effort suppressing his lust for her blood. But she felt safe regardless."Henceforth, you are going to start living with me. I can't protect you if you're so far from me." He said.Her eyes twitched in awe. Did she just hear the great Arthur mutter another word of affection?. She stared in disbelief while he continued tending to her wounds softly."Why?" She mumbled almost like a whisper. He looked at her perturbed by her expression. "Why did you save me?. I thought you didn't want me to be seen near you. Nicodemus is by far worse than you yet
After several forced sleeps and nightmarish events, Bella finally decided to go downstairs. Perhaps watching TV or doing something leisurely would take her mind off worries. She looked to her digital clock by the bedside which brightly displayed Past One. She sighed, then climbed down her bed. As she strolled towards the door, she packed her hair that had now grown messy with curls into a bun. The scenery where Arthur had packed her hair instantly sprung up.While she toured down the stairs to his Parlour, she couldn't help but love that moment. How his fingers had gently handled her Red hair with care. She relaxed on the sofa staring lazily and uninterestingly at the TV. "Can't sleep?" Arthur's voice protruded the solemn atmosphere. Her heart skipped a bit before turning to him. There he was, dressed in his sleep wear with a concerned expression inscribed on his face."You too?" She asked softly while he joined her with a safe distance between them. He wore a smile that didn't live
The woods was indeed a perfect ground for Bella's training. The fresh air, the relaxing scent that encompassed her, the rabbits that scurried about in search of food. But handling a gun or wielding a knife proved too tasking for her. She saw no fun or safeness in dealing with this weapons. In fact, they terrified her to the very core. It felt like they were training her to be an assassin or a murderer someday. That she would one day become so deadly and cold-hearted like them. On the other hand, she understood they were simply going through all this stress for her protection. Her attention on the pistol directed at a tree soon wavered when she heard Arthur's laughter. For the first time, he seemed genuinely happy. Laughing hard at Vincent's joke. A side she's never seen. As she continued to enjoy the scenery she concluded there were more beautiful sides of Arthur yet to be unravelled. There was also a truth that bothered her; she was inadvertently falling for the Vampire."If you
As Arthur drove to his home with Bella rightly seated, he loathed himself for his actions. With his Vampiric hearing, he knew the guy was harmless. But jealousy and envy took over his consciousness. The guy's flirtatious talks with Bella easily irked him to the very core. He was tired of fighting the obvious fact; that he couldn't subdue his likeness for Bella. With every moment they shared together, he helplessly grew soft towards her. He thought of the night before, where she had leaned her head against his shoulder. How her Red hair seemed to glow in his eyes, her pretty face sleeping peacefully. His thoughts further trailed to their training. Where his chest grazed against her back softly. How her scent had driven him crazy, exciting every nerve in his body and how he had been lost in those beautiful Chestnut eyes of hers, mesmerized by her enticing pink lips. Apart from the Red hair, Bella wasn't in anyway similar to his last love. He's lost so many loved ones to Nicodemus that he
Arthur exhaled deeply before reviewing his outfit again. He wouldn't deny this would mark as the hundredth time he checked his clothing. This was also the first time in centuries he tried to impress a lady or even bother about his outfit. But today was different, tonight was special. He was going to have dinner with Bella Cosgrove, the beautiful Red haired, daughter of a respectable Sheriff and above all, the lady he was stylishly in love with. He was donning a perfectly tailored Blue and Black checkered suit. An inner white shirt with three buttons left unchecked at the top plus a white sneakers and a gold wristwatch to complement it all. He knocked gently on her door after affirming he was ready. It only took minutes before the door gradually opened. His eyes exclaimed and his jaw dropped. There she was in an absolutely stunning Red V-Neck Chiffon mini gown complemented with Red stiletto high heels. Her face was the only thing that glowed in his eyes. Her Red hair elegantly styled --
The morning dawned with a smile adorning Bella's face. Last night would have been perfect except for the part where Arthur emerged into her room while she was naked. She loathed herself for freezing dumbfounded and at the same time, she totally enjoyed his cold hands wrapped around her waist. Soft and firm touch. She remembered every detail till the very least, his cold breaths, his sharp grey irises that evidently displayed his lust and those rosy red lips that almost kissed hers. Her thoughts tousled at the sound of the TV that blared downstairs and without further ado, she sauntered to her bathroom for a bath."Good morning." Arthur greeted while he was calmly seated on the couch with a novel in his hands. She was surprised he didn't even flinch or display any hint of nervousness about last night. Whereas her mind still raided with the scenery. She joined him too on his sofa."You know, you could have knocked last night." She voiced in an awkward tone. All he did was flip a pa
"Where am I?" Asked Alisha who just woke from her slumber feeling tensed and an unending irritation. Her vision hazy, her wrist chained to the arms of a wooden chair she was currently seated in and her legs tied together. Even in her blurry state, she noticed her surroundings was a small cave. With two men. One that was rooted to the wall and the other, dressed in an all black attire. A shirt with three loose buttons at the top, fitting jean complemented with boots. He was poised in her front, metres away and unable to review his face due to her blurriness. "Took you long enough!" The man's overly hoarse voice sounded. "Welcome to the Silvery-Claw Centurion Pack." He muttered in a grand gesture."Slivery what?!" Alisha questioned in an agitated tone. The fact she was having issues as to how she got here and being bound by chains, angered her. "Where am I?! Who are you?! What do you want from me?!!" She screeched while struggling for freedom from the chair. The man simply giggled as he
Bella silently watched Sabrina and Vincent pack some Witchy artifacts into Arthur's vehicle. The wooden floor she relaxed on ached but her troubling thoughts wouldn't let her bother. She wondered how her mother was faring or if she was even alive. And then Jeremy too, wondering if he was stuck in all these drama like her. "Hey..." Arthur's gentle voice tousled her thoughts. She looked up at him, his face vaguely hiding his anxiety. She sighed and returned her gaze back to the vehicle. "You don't have to be this moody." He muttered as he sat beside her. She shot him a skeptical look."We're basically going on a suicide mission and you expect me to smile?""It's not a suicide mission." He corrected while they exchanged gazes. "My mother is in New Orleans and perhaps Nicodemus has her. We don't even have a weapon to kill him yet. Tell me, how is this not suicide?" She scoffed. He only retained his gaze. His silence giving her the answer. "Arthur, you know there's another way out of t
