Daniel's P.O.V Footsteps.I heard the wooden floor creaking as my eyes snapped open. I looked at my tired little flower who was sleeping with her mouth little open as she breathed through it. There were strands of hair on her face.Cute.I ran my free hand gently over her as I removed the hair from her face. Then gently picked up her head from my hand as I placed it on the pillow. Then, getting up slowly, trying my very best not to wake her up.As I stood on the edge of the bed and look at her face. The realization struck me. We mated temporarily yesterday. Yeah, yesterday since it was like a little past midnight. I picked up my boxers from the floor and put them on as I walked over to her side and pulled the covers over her.Kissing her face gently, I walked up to the door to check up on the sounds of footsteps. As I opened the door. I came in contact with a Henry who had his hand raised as if he was about to knock on the door. Seeing me standing there, he immediately put his hand
Eleanor's P.O.V Cold. It was too cold. I was feeling as if needles were pricking my skin. I tossed and turned but I couldn't find the warmth I was searching for.I patted the space next to me. Empty. It was empty. My eyes shot open. My side of the bed was empty. Where is Daniel?And, as if to answer that question he entered the room, half naked and half lost in his thoughts."Daniel?" I called him out but he didn't turn around as a chill ran down my back.Why am I getting a bad vibe?"DANIEL!" I shouted his name out as he finally turned around to face. No reply. He just stared at me with a blank look on his face."Daniel, say something. Where are you coming from?" I asked, panicking a bit as I got up from the bed, forgetting all about my bareness as I ran up to him and hugged him. But, instead of relaxing his body grew stiffer under my touch. Letting him go, I looked up at his face as I palmed his face. "Daniel?""You lied to me, Eleanor." He said, looking me right in the eye maki
Daniel's P.O.V "You... You weren't.... You weren't there."Eleanor's trembling voice pierced my ears as she hung on my neck sobbing uncontrollably, leaving me dumbfounded for a moment.Fuck. I screwed up.As I regained my senses I held her in my arms as I patted her back gently, whispering sweet nothings in her ears hoping that she would calm down. But, sadly I was successful only in making her cry more.Heaving a big sigh, I picked her up in my arms as I walked to the bed as I sat down on it's edge with a terrified, crying Eleanor on my lap. Just what happened that shook her emotionally this much? I do accept that I wasn't here when she woke up but that wouldn't have terrified the Eleanor I know. The Eleanor I know would have ran around the whole house searching and if she didn't find me, she would have searched the world till she did and then beat me up for breaking my promise.For some reason my heart was beating in my chest erratically telling me there was some other reason. And,
Eleanor's P.O.V "But, where were you, Daniel?" The only floating question in my mind had finally left my mouth. And, as it did everything seemed to have stopped. We just stared at each other in silence as we gave each other the time. The time needed by him to find the right way to answer the question I've asked. And, the time needed by me to prepare myself to hear that answer.My hand was still in his hair as I felt it's silkness on my fingertips. After five minutes into the silence I felt as if I was ready and somehow without me speaking he also knew as he opened his mouth to speak. "Flower, I was with Henry. I actually woke up to the sound of footsteps and decided to check what was going on. Henry and Petroka actually came around midnight.""Midnight? What were they doing in the woods that late?" I asked as my eyes widened upon receiving the information that had just pierced my ears.My first initial worry which caused my reaction was them getting hurt by vampires."Hunting." Dan
Daniel's P.O.V "Flower, I..." I trailed off as my mind went to the rest of the talk I had with Henry. I couldn't tell her. And, she can never know either. That I'm a Vampire King. I won't let my world shatter apart just because of a title and my lineage. Never. "Daniel?" Eleanor called out my name bringing me out of my thoughts. I pushed aside the jumbled thoughts as I hugged her. I needed it. I really did.That hug maybe left her shocked for a while because she didn't hug me for a while. At least not till she heard my trembling voice."Sorry." I didn't know what else to tell her. I didn't want her to know something that would have separated her from me forever. I just didn't. And, maybe it was very cowardly of me to hug her just because I needed comfort and I didn't want her to see my face.A face that was lying to her for it's own happiness. Nothing felt tougher than this moment. And, the worst part was that it was passing away at an excruciating painful pace."Daniel, it's okay
Eleanor's P.O.V "It won't, El." Hearing the words, leave his mouth my heart started beating erratically in my chest.Was he saying that he was going to leave me? Or, was he hinting that he found out that I am Knife? Was his family not going to accept me? Had my identity overpowered his love for me?The next few moments felt like everything including my heartbeat and breathing stopped. And, just when I felt like I could have died, his laughter floated right into my ear."It won't survive, El. It has to survive. Because we'll treat it like Danielle, like our child. We'll work on it. We'll feed it with happiness. Find out the reason why it cried. Pacify it when it runs out, slamming the door in anger. Adjust it a little so that it will be love us both. But, not as equals. Not as equals. But, as leaders in whatever we do." Daniel continued as oxygen finally found its way to me. I could finally breathe as I felt his hand run over my head. It was the best feeling in the world. No body had p
Daniel's P.O.V The sounds of birds chirping pierced my ears as I woke up. But, waking up directly without any preparations turned out to be a very wrong choice. All because of the damn sunlight entering through the window dancing as they fell on my eyes making me squint. I couldn't open them fully no matter how hard I tried. And, that made me feel really powerless. Which is a pretty bad experience. Damn! I couldn't even sleep enough and it's morning. Practically, I shouldn't even be awake right now since vampires sleep during morning but here I am.Finally adjusting to the irritable sunlight, I opened my eyes and the scenery that greeted me was literally heaven. I guess what they say is true. After suffering, there's heaven. And, where does my heaven lie? Of course, in my Eleanor. Damn, that sounds good. My Eleanor. Getting off the bed, I wrapped the blanket around my torso. Yeah, I was sleeping stark-naked next to my soulmate. So, what about it?As all my senses finally started
Eleanor's P.O.V I stared at a standing Daniel as he looked at me with a face that seemed to scream 'Who am I? And, where the hell am I?'. I kind of knew he would forget after everything that happened last night. But, that doesn't mean I pass my chance of having fun with a confused Daniel. "You forgot?" I faked a gasp as I stared at him with a hurt face.Seeing my reaction, he raked his hands through hair as he closed his eyes trying really hard to remember what his mind has forgotten. "Your reactions are telling me that you really don't remember, Daniel. How could you even forget? It's so hurtful." I expressed my words in fake pain as I looked at a Daniel who was ready to bury himself six feet under the grave because of the amount of guilt I've laid on his shoulders."El, I'm really sorry. I really don't seem to remember anything after yesterday's hectic and tired night. I still can't get how there's not even a shread of sleep in your eyes. But, that's really really besides the point
