I was tired so I fell asleep after some time and I knew he did not do anything else except hugged me tightly to sleep. Jessica was perfectly fine the next morning and was ready to go back she hugged me "Thank you for saving me."
I smiled at her and hugged her again "I am happy that you are fine." then I hugged all my other friends goodbye.
The black family bid their farewells and everyone started their journey down which could be completed in one day. James put a hand on my shoulder and said "They will wait for us home, we will leave tomorrow because if we leave with them some other of your friends will be injured."
I nodded as tears welled up in my eyes. It was a beautiful morning, I sat down on a rock nearby and James sat besides me, holding my hand he looked into my eyes "Promise me you won't hate me after this."
I put my other hand on the one that was holding mine "I can never hate you even if I want to."
He smiled and started with telling his story.
James hesitated for some time as I waited patiently besides him to know the truth, he looked into my eyes innocently and started speaking "I am a Vampire."
He was shocked at my reaction because he had expected that I would be scared but I just nodded and waited for him to complete "You are not shocked."
I smileed and looked into his eyes "If I know about Cameron then it is obvious I know about vampires."
He was taken aback "How do you know so much, who are you."
I took in a deep breath "I am a witch and for now I can only tell you this."
He stammered as he tried to gain what I said "Witch"
"Yes that is the reason I know him and he wants to be with me since past 50 years but you don't need to know what happened for now and if you want don't tell me about your story too."
He smiled and though it was just a simple smile it set my heart on fire, my cheeks grew hot so I quickly turned my gaze "I want to tell you about my past because I trust you and moreover I have fallen for you so if you are ready to listen, I will say it."
"I am ready to listen to you but I am warning you don't fall for me, it is dangerous."
Even before I finished my sentence in the block of an eye he covered all the distance between us and stood so close to me that there was no place even for the air to pass, my breathing fastened along with my heartbeat, he lifted my chin "I am not scared."
I tried to push him but he held my hand "Trust me."
Tears rolled my eyes as the images of Ethan crossed my mind "Sorry James, I have a lot on my mind please give me some time."
He stepped back like a gentleman as I fought back my tears and smiled "So tell me about your past and how old are you."
He took in a deep breath "I have been living for 250 years, what about you."
I smiled "Though we live longer than humans but we do get older I have been living for 150 years and Cameron waited for me to grow up for 50 years." I stopped as my eyes filled with tears then fought my tears back and looked at him "Sorry, I got carried away, you tell me how do you know him."
He paused to give me some time to get myself together, he sat too close to me but I did not find that uncomfortable rather his presence felt calm to my nerves, the silence felt peaceful and I felt that I was in a totally different world.
When I was calm he begin to speak "I met him 200 years back when he was very young, we used to be good friends and he was quite caring and loving. As there are good witches and wizards and bad witches and wizards the same way we have good vampires and bad vampires. I was a human back then, a doctor so I never knew that he was a wizard. One day we went fishing and there were vampires who wanted to rule but they did not have any leader. They randomly killed families in the evening but we used to think it was all a made up story to scare people so everyone gets home on time.
We went to his house late that night and the lights were out and silence spread all across the place. We went inside quietly, I was more scared so I hid in the corner and he bravely moved further, seeing his family lying on the floor covered in blood, he froze.
A vampire spotted him and bit his neck, his eyes turned red and he snapped his fingers crushing the vampires head. Nobody knew what happened but that was the moment he changed, he changed into a cold heartless monster."
His voice teared apart at this moment as he tried to contain himself but as a vampire he could not cry. Unintentionally my hand went to his shoulder trying to give him some comfort. He then looked into my eyes "I could not find out how he killed that vampire but all other vampires were definitely scared to death."
A shiver ran down my spine as I spoke the most terrifying thing only he could do in the magic word "It is the death charm, the most terrifying magic in our world only he can perform, he was born with it and only something evil could initiate the power within him and I guess that bite made that happen."
He was silent as he proceeded my words "Most likely"
I nodded "Then what happened?
"He was terrified himself at what he did but all the vampires bowed in front of him and apologized as they said you have killed our leader so you have to lead us because you are the most powerful person to have killed a vampire."
"He agreed"
"No, he didn't instead he stood there scared trying to find me for help as the vampires still bowed in front of him. He asked them to leave and that was when I came out of hiding a little less scared than him and he spoke in a very scared tone I didn't do it, I don't know how that happened. I comforted him placing my hands on his shoulders Don't worry it is not your fault, you did the right thing and killed the wrong guy.
After he was relaxed I took him to my place and told my parents everything except the part that he is a wizard and he killed a vampire. We took him in and for a few months we lived happily until the vampires came back to him, he was strong enough by then to face them. I didn't have any idea until that day that he really wanted to rule the world. He took them to a room and I overheard his conversation as he told them that the vampires will follow him and help him to rule the world, he had been practicing and making his magic stronger all the months he lived with us.
He came out and told my parents everything he said that because they had fed him he would kill them in one go without torturing them, he wanted to finish all the weak and helpless humans. My parents asked me to go away so I ran away as far as I could get, I ran into a forest but he was too fast and caught me he initially wanted to kill me and went away when he thought I was dead. At that time Lukas was out in the forest, he spotted me lying on the ground on the edge of dying but he wanted to save me so he turned me into a vampire. I have been living a meaningless life since then."
I was confused as I tried to find the answer to my question but then I had to ask "James you said you had to protect me, how did you know about me?"
"A person visited us a few days back he told us that Cameron wanted to have you and he would be invincible and we have to protect you. At first I thought that it was troublesome as Lukas accepted to protect you because it would be the most terrifying thing if he was unbeatable but now I feel different and I feel that you have added meaning to my useless smile."
My heart starts beating faster and a smile creeps onto my face but I suppress it "When I was born he knew that I could make him invincible and besides him only I have the power to perform death charm, he wanted to have me so he killed my parents and took me away but I was save by the heads of magic and they protected me until I grew then a lot happened and I broke all the contacts with magic world and began living as a normal human."
He sat there quietly as tears rolled down my eyes after a lot of suppression thinking about the past. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder which was the most magical thing and I was calm in a few minutes, taking a deep breath, I wiped my eyes and he came in front of me holding me by my waist "Past is gone don't cry over it and don't talk about it or even think about it until you can do that without crying."I nodded and as I was going to push him away he kissed me, making it deep with every moment, the flashes of Ethan kissing me began to cross my mind and as he forced his tongue into my mouth, I pushed him away and ran into the camp and tears flowed more vigorously through my eyes. I sat there quietly and he was too scared to come in.At last when I was finally able to calm myself down, I went outside to have a look but he was nowhere to be found. I felt like I scared him away so I walked towards the rock where we sat earlier and started enjoying the view. The more I
I nodded and then we begin our journey down the mountain.It was the same place we had climbed earlier and while we were going down my mind was just preoccupied by the thought that what could it be he would show me and it would be different from what I had already seen and as if he had read my thoughts he grabbed my waist and looked me into the eyes once we were standing on a steady place, his voice was so sexy and dreamy that I just wanted to melt into it "Are you ready for what I am about to show you."My lips curved up as I looked at him and nodded and he effortlessly picked me up by my waist and then what I saw was the most beautiful view anyone could ever see, we were on top of the highest tree and James held me carefully in his arms making sure that I don't fall down. It was still so early and what I saw was the sun rising just behind the mountains and it was such a spectacular view from where we were seeing and third was when I finally realized that this could n
My eyes widened, I knew whose voice this was but that could not be true, I erased his memory, I jumped up and turned around. I lost my voice as my eyes landed on James but I gathered myself to speak "What are you doing here? How did you find my place and how do you still remember me?"He smirked, he was standing behind the couch and with a swift jump he was in front of it and moving towards me, a natural instinct could have made anyone step back but I stood there because I needed to know why my magic didn't work on him.He just came closer and placed a hand on my waist pulling me closer to his body as it touched his, his grip was firm as if he didn't ever want me to escape but instead of answering my question he said "Let's first continue what you started
I took the bath and came out in my bathrobe as I usually did. I didn't have any energy left to change my clothes and I was exhausted mentally so I decided to lock my room and go to sleep and that is what I did without bothering to find out what James was doing.I switched off my bedside light but before I could actually go to sleep James knocked my door. I didn't answer at first pretending to sleep so that he would go away but he knocked again saying "Bel, where am I gonna sleep."My heart raced when he called me 'Bel', it sounded so sweet from his lips but I could not accept that so I calmed myself down before replying in an uninterested tone "You barged in here so find your own place."He said "Okay" but before he left I had to tell him to never call me 'Bel' again, I could not stand the feeling it send to my heart when he said that. Although I was not ready to accept then but the truth was that the gates that I had closed shut tightly preventing anyo
As it was expected from him he replied "Through the door."I looked angrily at him "I am aware of that but I remember locking it."He didn't say anything about that instead his reply was sarcastic "Well I didn't get the way you thanked me but you are welcome.""You didn't do anything." I shouted but he simply smiled as he said "I woke you up from the nightmare."I realized it was useless arguing with him so I took in a deep breath and said "Get out"He looked at me as if I was speaking some foreign language but then he collected his expression and soon a smile crept on his lips which by far I knew was not a good thing at least for me. He didn't say anything but silently got into the bed with me. I looked at him shocked "What do you think you are doing?"His smile was still intact on his lips which had now started irritating me and he simply replied "You said that I should find a place to sleep on my own and by far this is the most comfortable plac
Cameron's closeness was the worst thing for anyone but for me it did the worst. He pressed his chest against mine and he moved his head near my neck. He moved my shirt aside exposing my neck and then his warm breath hit my skin, he sniffed at it as he spoke "It's been a long time and I still remember how you taste, I could never find anything better and the wonderful odour that you have is so inviting."Goosebumps rose on my skin and I knew he was gonna bite me so my eyes closed themselves in fear. I began to panic at first but then I took in a deep breath to relax myself then I reminded myself that I was a witch with this thought I opened my eyes and snapped my fingers and with that he was on the floor away from me. I took this opportunity and began to run towards my car at the fastest speed I could but I could not make it too far because after a few steps I felt a sharp pain in my stomach.It felt like someone was trying to pull my stomach out by pushing their ba
I didn't hear any reply from his side so I thought that all this was going on in my head and a self mocking chuckle escaped my lips as I spoke to myself "Great now I am hearing his voice too."My eyes were still closed as I didn't want to see what was going around me but they were soon startled open when the same voice was heard near my ear "So this proves that you see me when I am not present and you miss me which means that you live me just as much as I like you."I stood up from my seat to turn around to look at him, my heart was racing too fast by his sudden appearance, I looked at him with shock in my eyes but before I could say anything he smiled and spoke again this time coming closer to me "You can't deny it this time."I gave him a half hearted chuckle "I never denied that I like you. To be honest you have turned me into a mess in just a few days but I know that if I stay close to you it won't end well so the best option is to go away and forget the tim
After listening to James talk, I quickly jumped out of the bed to run to him "What do you think you are gonna do, I have already agreed to let you stay with me. Now don't make it harder for me than it already is."He smiled and made me sit on the bed "I was just messing with you. I love to see the look on your face after I rile you up and I didn't call anyone."I gritted my teeth "Now let me go, I have work to do.""We will go in a while until then you take some rest, I will be back in just a few minutes.""Where are you going now."He didn't answer instead locked me in the room and went out. I knew I promised that he could stay with me but it was his fault this time to leave me alone. I was sure he had some security outside the door so I planed to escape through the window. I made sure that no one was there and then jumped off it and protected myself with a magic bubble before I hit the ground. I could well imagine his furious face after he would
