8. Chasing Him

It has been another week with him reacting to his same stoic cold self. I wish he had continued avoiding me than going back to his cruel ways. One time I saw him talking with Ingrid but when I approached them, he chose to be mute and pretended as if he hadn't seen me before he disappeared.

It was two weeks ago when I sneaked into his room. It is huge, nice and cozy just like my old cottage. I went to his desk and searched for something dear to him. After all, I used to do that to my dad when he was angry at me. I did not feel guilty to be sneaking into someone else's room especially a guy's room. I made sure that I kept everything as neat as it was.

After an hour or so searching I ended up grabbing the closest thing to him that he used most frequently. His toothbrush. I did so because I was desperate to make him talk to me. He used it every day so he would know it is me due to my scent after all he is a freaking vampire. I exited his room and lept to Ingrid's room. I decided to take refuge in his sister's room. After all, he only listened to her. At least I won't be torn to shreds.

Later that night I heard him shouting at me as he made his way to my room. I was nervous but when I saw him talking I leapt towards him raising my eyebrows at him.

He challenged as he questioned where I had put his toothbrush which was at that time locked inside my closet.

I kept on telling him that I had never come across it. He kept pressing on and on. I remained firm with the same reply. He ended up giving up as he made his way out of the room feeling quite dejected and probably very angry.

Ingrid watched us with a knowing smile. I could decipher a a sparkle in her eyes.

All in all, it ended up in my favour, I had managed to make him talk to me.

Bit by bit I am getting comfortable in his presence even though he is an absolute jerk in human form. I dread that I am developing unwanted feelings for him. Who falls in love with their kidnapper on top of that a powerful vampire.

It hurt too much to see him ignoring me the past week and he is that good I can tell you.

He is busy with whatever business he involves himself and I still wonder what kind of person he was before 'the accident. I want to know what happened to change a person such as him. To make it short I want to get to know him.

KYSON

I am so sick and tired of telling the beast inside of me to stop acting like a jerk to her, I don't even know her full name. Seriously I am keeping a stranger in my space. I don't like the way I am behaving these days. No one has ever had this effect on me for the past hundred years that had passed in a blur. I am grateful that there are no memories that I hold dear during this time frame.

She had tried to speak to me but unfortunately, I was not in my good mood which come rarely these years. When I am in her presence I feel like she is the only thing blinding me to see the world I have been waiting for so long. The world of revenge. I can not bear to look at her before Meddae. I lost her in a blink of an eye and vowed to never love again but now what has happened now.

I already feel unusual, my heart swells with so many mixed emotions. I felt very angry when she tried to run away from my life. At that time I should have let her go. And maybe I shouldn't be confused like I am now. What do I do in the eyes of my one and only Meddae. I can only act cold to her so that we do not fall into the same fire pit.

Yesterday, I caught her staring at me with indescribable emotions that showed in her eyes and I could not bear but see in her the eyes of my beloved one, when she parted with this world.

My eyes softened at her as her pretty globes became teary. I raised my hand and stroked her hair in the way caressing her left cheek. She looked at me surprised as if she was meeting an alien for the first time in her life.

LARA

I am shocked as I felt my cheeks hot after he caressed my left one. I furiously blushed as I let go of every cruel deed he did towards me. I looked at his tearing and vulnerable face and felt giddy for such a moment. It's not always when you get an opportunity like this.

I felt a wave-like motion on my spine when he wrapped his arms around my petite body. He tightened his grip as he buried his head on the crook of my neck, I could hear his muffled whisper call "Meddae". I made a note to myself to ask him who is Meddae or what it meant.

We spent a while in one another's arms overwhelmed by each other's emotions. He looked somewhat different from the way he always looked. He looked happy, more handsome like always though I did not like to admit it myself. Most of all he looked as if he was hurting.

After a while hugging each other we were later sitting together in the sitting room watching a show. He was leaning on my shoulder holding my hand in his as he would squeeze it from time to time. I smiled to myself remembering these past two months wishing I would be home but now I feel like I truly belong here.
