Eleanor's P.O.V He betrayed me. He lied to me.My Daniel lied to me!I think the thought made something shatter.Maybe, it was my heart that was shattered as my trust was broken into a billion little pieces. I can't believe it. I just fucking can't. How could he not tell me something like this when I told him that I was Knife - a wanted killer throughout the entire kingdom of Eleneas. He couldn't trust me enough to even just tell me that he was a vampire. Let alone to tell me about him being the Vampire King of Eleneas.And, even if he was why did I had to find it out from Hailey of all people? Like...Was it something I did that maybe gave him some sort of wrong sign that he shouldn't tell me that he is a vampire? I did say I hated vampires. Was it because of that that Daniel lied to me?Maybe, I should-My thoughts were cut off totally by a Hailey who ran in the direction of my Daniel passing me. I watched as she wrapped her arms around his neck and then spoke in a soft voice, "
Daniel's P.O.V Not only dreams, but nightmares also do come true. Don't know about others. Mine just did come true.Eleanor knew my truth but instead of beating me or fighting me. She was treating herself harshly making the soul in my chest burn.My hand involuntarily went to her cheeks as I gently wiped the moisture off of them gazing into those oceanic eyes which were drowning me in guilt and shame."El, you have to trust me, please. I know it's hard to right now but please listen to me. I didn't know Hailey even existed before you introduced me to her. There was no such plan to capture you as Knife. We were just dealing with the sudden rebellion that arose in my absence. That's it, flower. That's the truth." My pleading voice left my throne as I watched Eleanor gritting her teeth as she looked at me."You lied to me once, Daniel. Give me a reason to believe that you wouldn't do it again." The hurt and anger present in her voice pierced my heart. But, no matter what, I can't let my
Eleanor's P.O.V Pure Madness. The sight of Daniel before was a perfect definition for these two words.It was a side of Daniel I have never seen before. Neither, do I want to see it again. He seemed to be totally out of control like a devil and yet so miserable like a cute kitten."Flower, we are almost reached." Daniel's voice filled my ears as my eyes were filled with the sight of the wooden cottage which has accommodated me for twenty one years. The place which was drenched in the memories of my mother and the happy days Daniel, Danielle and I had.It was now time to say goodbye. Not just to this place but also to all the happiness which made me forget I was Knife. "Danielle is on the doorstep, Eleanor." Daniel said as he held out his hand for me to hold. Though every shred of my body was feeling repelled to the sight of the hand due to my mind. My heart was strangely way too excited to hold it. As it even convinced my my mind that we were doing this for Danielle's happiness.
Daniel's P.O.V The brown ceiling of this living room has never looked as beautiful as it did today. It's just so beautiful and perfect."You are looking lifeless." Henry's voice pierced my ears as I glanced at him through my side eye. And, watched him as he took a seat next to me. "But, lifeless people don't have tears rolling down their cheeks. What's going on in your head, bro?""She hates me." My lifeless voice left my throat as I sniffed to calm my irritated nose. "I don't actually blame her for it. At this point, I feel so disgusted by myself like there are insects crawling up my skin. It's all just... fucked up.""Why?""I held her wrist so tight that it left marks. I threatened her with Danielle... with our daughter." I spoke confessing to the punishable crime I've committed. "Oh! So that explains the extra redness of your left cheek. She slapped you, didn't she?""I deserved it. She on the other hand didn't deserve what I did to her though." I replied as a miserable cough
Eleanor's P.O.V After serving the five of them some cookies Danielle had baked earlier, I walked in the direction of my room. Opening the door, I walked inside closing the door behind me. What a long night! And, it still hasn't ended."Mom?" The voice of my daughter brought me out of my thoughts as I crouched down to her level. "Yes, little one.""You look tired. Why don't you go and have a bath? I'll pick out a pretty nightdress for you!"Her excitement made me throw my head back laughing like a little kid. "Sure." I said as I got up and walked into the bathroom as I closed the door behind me.Daniel...Tears streamed down my cheeks as I fell to my knees as they memories we had created together hit the back of my mind. Why? Why did you do this? Why did you create such a deep crack between us? Even if you wouldn't have threatened me I would be following you like a dog after a few days...You just have no idea. No idea how you have me wrapped around your finger.Why, Daniel? Why do
Eleanor's P.O.V "Who, Eleanor?" Daniel growled as he gripped my chin tightly yet gently. "Why do you care?" I fired back at him. I didn't know why but I felt a sudden surge of power through me as I spat my words at him, making him further angry as I was pushed on the soft mattress with a beast hovering over me."Eleanor, you better not test me, right now. First of all, you are wearing so little making it harder for me to breathe than it already is. Second, you are telling me you are going to see some bastard wearing this!?" His words made me feel disgusted at myself. How could he think so low of me? The only person I would wear this for was him. How could he think that... that I-"Is that what you think of me?" I asked as I forced a smile on my face, fighting to keep my tears at bay.The question seemed to have struck him hard as his expression of anger was quickly replaced with a look of guilt. I watched as he quickly got off me looking away from me. I got up and sat back in the
Daniel's P.O.V "Eleanor has to die." My words left her speechless as she gaped at me, stunned.I walked closer to her, trying to hold her in my arms and explain why had to be done and why it was necessary to protect her and Danielle. But, instead of coming into my arms like Eleanor usually would, she backed away from me as her eyes did an instant flip going ice cold.Ouch!"You are an excellent strategist, aren't you? Rumors really don't lie. Selfish and smart. Both qualities are embedded perfectly in you."Her words and behavior left me stunned. "Eleanor, I don't know what you understood from my statement to act like that. But, I can explain. If you just-"I was cut off by her thunderous and mocking laugh raged in the room. "You, seriously. I can't believe you are even explaining it to me. Should I guess your explanation? That would be fun."Her voice contained anger beyond my comprehension. She was angry and yet at the same time looking so miserable in my eyes. I just didn't know
Eleanor's P.O.V The words left my mouth as I could feel his breath on mine, making me lose all my newly found courage. "It's not forced if you have a choice." Daniel's comeback struck a nerve in my head as I glared at him."A choice I can't afford to choose." I spoke through my gritted teeth. Honestly, I felt like punching and knocking out all of his teeth but I refrained myself as I decided to act like a civil person. Daniel's expression softened for a moment before returning back to being blank as he took a step back and said,"Still a choice nonetheless. Anyway, decide a name for yourself. You'll need a new identity."I stood there, still glaring at him but slowly loosening my tense muscles. "A new name? I already have one, my love. What are you talking about?" This feeling of being a rebel and irritating person is quite soothing. Now I know, why people act like this.He sighed, running a hand through his silky smooth hair. "Eleanor, if you are trying to irritate me. This tactic o
