Daniel's P.O.V
Lying on her bed which was draped in her fragrance I knew there was no better place than this in the entire world for me.At least none that I could have imagined.Somehow in this moment all of those fancy dreams of an endless empire, the biggest of biggest castles which would be adored for generations, becoming the greatest kings in history flew out the window. If I could really live beside her I wouldn't mind becoming a commoner. If it meant that I could have her waking up next to me my entire life I didn't mind waking up in a run-down house than a grand castle.Was this how father felt when he met mother?As a child I always thought how could it be possible to fall for a woman you've never seen your entire life. It just sounded stupid. But, if it is indeed stupid in this moment I don't mind being the biggest idiot of all times."Daniel?" My name really feels heavenly coming from her mouth. I raised my head to look at her beautiful standing frame. Her sunlight like hair tied up in a messy bun. Her glass like gentle eyes. Her pink plum kissable lips which were parted as she spoke something. Her sweet flowery scent which..."DANIEL!?" I snapped out my thoughts as I tore my gaze away from her and shook my head trying to gain my consciousness.She's really like a drug. Just being around her makes me lose all of my rationality that I could have possessed in the past two hundred years."Yea?" I asked finally looking at her with eyes wide open, trying my hardest to keep my sanity as I swallowed the lump in my throat."You didn't listen a word, did you?" She questioned me with her left eyebrow raised. God! She looked so sexy.Snap out of it, dumbass! My subconsciousness cursed at me and I hate to admit it but it was fucking right. I needed to snap out of it.So, snapping our of it I opened my mouth to give a reasonable excuse but was cut off by a laugh.Not her angelic one but my cousin's irritating one."It's okay, Eleanor. Me, Petroka and Teris heard it. We'll take care of him." Henry spoke to her with a grin as big as Mt. Kanterna.I so wish I could get up from my place and punch that grin off his face.But, before I could say anything my flower spoke in a soft voice," If you need anything. I'm outside."Fucking hell, flower. Don't go. I'd rather have you by my side than these idiots."Of course." Henry said as she quickly turned around and left and Henry followed her to the door, closing it immediately behind her."Wow man! Never thought Knife is a damn hot woman." He spoke as he smacked his head with his own hand and walked back to the small couch to rest.I wanted to beat the shit out of Henry for calling her like that. But, he was right on one thing though. I also never thought... Never thought that Knife was a woman. Most importantly that she was my soulmate. I couldn't believe my ears in the forest as I closed my eyes remembering that moment...My angel was crying. From happiness? From sadness? I didn't know. All I knew was that she was crying. Seeing her tears roll down her pretty rosy cheeks made my heart twist and turn in my chest and my blood boil in my veins.But then the next words my ears heard froze me right in my spot. My feet seemed to have grown roots as I couldn't just couldn't move at all."It's okay, El. It's just us. And, you are not Knife right now. Just our Eleanor." The little blonde girl said with a smile on her face as she walked up closer and stroked my angel's head with her small warm hands trying to comfort her.Knife!? My soulmate was Knife? A Vampire Hunter?I really couldn't believe my angel having all that dirty blood on her fragile hands fighting for justice for those who succumbed only to power. But, before I could have even recovered from that shock completely, her angry voice boomed in the hollow woods."COME OUT. I KNOW YOU ARE HIDING SOMEWHERE HERE! COME OUT THIS INSTANCE!"She found us. What do we do now? I looked at Henry who was frozen, Teris who was deep in his thoughts and Petroka who was holding his sword.My eyes stopped at the sword. And, before anyone could even react, I snatched it from Petroka and wounded myself leaving the three of them horrified. Petroka's blade was of silver so it would take me more than a week to heal. But, it was worth it. As long as it portrays to my angel that we mean no harm in true sense."Henry?" I looked at him and as he looked into my eyes, he understood my intentions. He quickly ruined his clothes as Petroka and Teris followed him.Then, putting an arm around me. He supported my wounded self as he said under his breath. "Let's hope this doesn't get more messed up than it is."But, yeah. Things turned out more different than we imagined them to. She trusted us. And, I was more than relieved.Damn, I feel thirsty. At times like this, I was glad I was a vampire king. I could survive on water for a week without even having a drop of blood while keeping my sanity. The last thing, I needed was flower to be disgusted by me because I was a vampire.I opened my tired eyes as I looked over to the couch. The trio was resting. I could have woke then up and made them get the water for me. But, I decided against it. They must have been dead tired after everything.I slowly tried to get up. And man, the wounds hurt like a bitch. I tried to get off the bed in a way that would lessen the pain for me but each movement seemed to just tear me apart. It's not that I haven't been through worse pain. But, it still hurts. I needed to see my flower. Maybe this pain would be gone.Somehow, thinking of her eased all of my pains I finally got off the bed and limped my way to the desk where Eleanor kept a thin white shirt for me. Quickly putting it on, I limped my way to the door. And, as I was about to open it I heard a voice. It didn't belong to flower. The voice was of a man."El, do you think you make the right choice?" The voice asked my flower. El? How dare he call my flower by a nickname. I could understand the kids. But, I'm not that understanding enough to fucking let any man call my angel by a nickname.I quickly existed the room, and walked to living room which was only five steps away. And, what I saw there made my blood boil in my veins. A man had his hand on my flower's shoulder.I swear, I couldn't see anything but red after that. As before I could even process it a shout had already left my lips."GET AWAY FROM HER!"Eleanor's P.O.V :"GET AWAY FROM HER!" The dark hair man's boomed in the room making me jump a little. Why was he here? Didn't I tell him to rest?"Man... Calm down." The chocolate haired man whose name I learnt was Henry spoke holding his cousin back. Yeah! Cousin. He told me that yesterday. The injured man, Daniel wasn't his friend but his cousin..."So your name is Henry?" I asked the chocolate brown haired man to confirm what he had said to me as I lead him to my house. The children had hurried back to their homes as I told them to so it was just the five of us."Yea. This is my cousin, Daniel. The one with blue eyes is Petroka, our friend and the last ones name is Teris. He's my cousin's friend." Henry said as he carried the man, Daniel in his arms like a princess. Yea... like a princess. "I see. Oh! Here we are!" I exclaimed as we almost arrived to my house. I quickly ran to it and opened the door. Henry followed soon after me and Petroka and Teris after him."So, where do I
Daniel's P.O.V Red. All I could see was red. As I lunged at the man who was harassing my fragile angel shaking off a desperate Henry who was holding me back in order to prevent me from causing any mess. I grabbed him by the collar of his shirt as I raised my fist to punch him in the jaw. But, before my fist could come in any contact with him, flower came between him and my fist as all of me froze. "Flower, move." I spoke through my gritted teeth as I kept my fist in it's place, waiting for her to move so I could land it on his jaw."Daniel..." Her melodious pleading voice dissipated my anger a bit as my fist loosened, making her body relax. Henry was quick to come to action as he pulled me away from the dickhead.Flower too relaxed as she moved further away from the dickhead.That's right. I don't even want to know his name anymore. He's dickhead to me.Not wanting to scare Eleanor with the anger lingering on my face, I turned around. But, as soon as I did gasps filled the room."D
Eleanor's P.O.V Hot.It was too hot in this room. My entire face was heating up. It was getting hard to breathe with each passing moment. Was I worried about him? The question he had just asked lingered in my mind as my eyes refused to look at his face. Afraid of the reaction it might be reflecting. "Eleanor?" Daniel called me as my head bent further as if I was extremely guilty of something. But what was that something was something even I was unsure of."Flower." Daniel called me by a nickname he has chosen for me as he lifted my face with his finger placed under my chin as my eyes met his. Why was it that when he did such things to me I never felt repelled but when Derek would just touch me I would feel like beating the shit out of him? We just sat there in silence for moment as I assessed his face which was devoid of any disgust, disbelief or arrogance I was searching for."I'm sorry for asking something irrelevant. Just talk to me. Okay?" Daniel said breaking the silence he
Daniel's P.O.V This place felt like heaven.Like seriously. It was her room. Had her belongings. Her scent. I don't know how to say it but somehow, it was just her in every little of this small wooden room and I wasn't exactly sure if it was any good for my sanity. I plopped down on her bed as I reached for her pillow and did what I always wanted to do to her. Hugged it, real tight. Her scent flooded my nostrils as I held it even tighter, afraid of losing it. Afraid of losing her.But, the hug had to be cut short because of a knock. Was she back? I immediately rushed to the door and opened it but seeing the person standing on the other side my foolish little smile faded away. "Hey, Daniel." Henry greeted me as I stepped aside so he could walk into the room. "What happened?" I asked him in an upset and disappointed voice as he sat down on the edge of her bed."We need to talk, man. Like seriously." Henry said with a 'I'm-so-done-with-this-shit' look as I stared at him standing m
Eleanor's P.O.V "Teris is going back to inform people back at home." Henry said as he leaned on the door frame, shrugging. "Really, Daniel? You could have just said so. You froze as if you were about to commit some crime." I said as I eyed up an embrassed Daniel. "I'm sorry." Daniel mumbled as he played with fingers. "Did you just say sorry? Where did the moon rise from today?" Henry said as he laughed at a poor embrassed Daniel. Was Daniel saying sorry such a big deal? I'm curious now."Teris, should I pack you something to eat on your way back home?" I asked turning towards Teris who has been just standing there now for like 10 minutes without even moving a muscle."Umm thank you but I wouldn't want to trouble you, Miss. You have already helped us a lot." Teris replied with eyes as wide as saucers. As if taking some food from me would put a huge weight of debt on me.Feeling sorry for him traveling with an empty stomach, I continued to persuade him. "Nah. It's okay there's some
Daniel's P.O.V "I like you." The three words floated right my ears as my entire body stiffened. I detached myself from Eleanor as I look at her dazed state.Both of us just sit there in silence under the stars as we gaze into each other's eyes. The words she just said replaying in my head over and over again like it was my favorite song.She likes me. Eleanor likes me.Angel likes me.Flower likes me.My soulmate likes me!As the realization finally hit me, my eyes were overfilled with joy but as I opened my mouth to speak. "El-" As if my voice brought her back to our world again. Eleanor eyes opened wide as she abruptly got up from my side and left. "Eleanor!?" I called her out in hopes of some sort of reply but none came.It was now just me, these trees, the sky, these stars and the moon.What happened? Did I do something wrong? But I didn't even move an inch. Was it something I said before? Maybe, I should go and check up on her.With that thought in my mind, I instantly got
Eleanor's P.O.V I stood there, heaving as I stared deep into his abyss and he did the same as he stared deep into my ocean."Be my girlfriend." His words rang over and over again in my ear. As, both of were heaving after one long passionate kiss which he had initiated. My mind kept replaying the kiss over and over again. His right hand gripping in my hair lightly as he held my face in place. As his left arm which was once on my wrist sneaked around my waist, holding me as tight as they could so that I wouldn't be able to find any possible escape. His soft lips pressing against my a little chap ones as a gasp left me because of the sudden cut of supply of air, only serving as an opportunity for his tongue to slip into my mouth. As my face started turning red. Though I don't know if that was from the lack of oxygen or the kiss.60 seconds. It all fucking happened in 60 seconds. Like... How?"Daniel, I..." I tried to find words to say but that kiss just now left me so speechless and nu
Daniel's P.O.V Light breeze blowing on our cheeks.Fingers intertwined in a tight grip.And, that smile on her face as she moved her free hand to explain things. Everything. It was everything for me. Like, there was nothing existing beyond this. This was the journey and this is the destination. For the first time in life I didn't feel like there was something more that I should possess. That I could possess. This was enough. "Daniel?" I was brought out of my thoughts as I gazed into her oceanic bluish green eyes. So deep and stunning. "Yeah?" I asked taking in a sharp intake of breath."Left." Fuck. Did I miss something? Where was I when she was speaking? Now how do I understand what the hell she was talking about. 'Left' has so many different definitions. Which one do I-But, before my inner panic could reach a conclusion, Eleanor spoke cutting my assumptions short."Daniel, look to your left."I instantly turned my head towards the left as I saw lush green vegetable farms, smal
