There was a thick silence that surrounded them like a blanket.
"Uhm, it's fine if you can't answer. " She said meekly.
I won't be appearing in your dreams anymore. The silver eyes stranger said and with that ,he closed his eyes as he followed the darkness that was waiting for him to be consumed whole. Once he was gone,
Evelyn's eyes jolted opened in shock.
For some unknown reasons she couldn't answer, her heart felt heavy than usual, why? Why was her heart feeling heavy at the fact he left? What was wrong with her? She thought standing up but her legs wobbled slightly and she fell back on the bed.
Her head was spinning in circles. Why did she suddenly felt dizzy at his absence? She mused and chuckled lightly.
She was slowly getting insane.
How could she be thinking of an unknown person she doesn't know in reality ? He only appears in her dreams and not in reality?
She closed her eyes tightly as she could feel the burning tingling sensation of her tears lurked at the corner of her eyes. Why the freaking hell was she crying? Why can't she forget about this stranger? She supposed to be happy he won't be invading her privacy anymore but here she is thinking and even shedding tears. If people sees her or her Aunt Reese sees her crying, they will think she is possessed or something.
Why can't she just forget about this non existent stranger? She thought as she stood up and walked towards the mirror l, opening her eyes, the tears slowly slid down her cheeks like a waterfall. If she has known, she won't have asked that unexpected question. More tears streamed down her cheeks like a broken dam.
"Just leave my head please, so I can concentrate on my life. " She murmured under her breath, sniffing hard. Once she was done crying, she cleaned her tears and went to get the bag for shopping in the market to go and get the food stuffs from the market.
Leaving her room,.she saw her mother sitting on the couch.
"Mum!?" She called out softly.
Oh deer, are you ready to leave ? Her mother asked.
Yes. She said softly while her mum gave her a suspicious look. "Have you been crying?" Her mother asked with a worried tone.
Evelyn shook her vigorously. No mama, why would I be crying when there is no problem? Eve asked with a raised brow.
Hmm, true sha, it won't make sense to cry when there is no issue and even if there is, it shouldn't warrant one to cry. Her mother said, dipping her hand in her pocket to bring out some money and handed it to Evelyn.
Evelyn collected the money and left the house. Once she was gone, Mrs Fraser sigh deeply.
"Maybe it's time to finally get he two girls married to a reputable family. " She thought to her self. One of these days I will go and visit Reese so we can discuss about the future of my girls. She mused with a deep sigh. For some strange reasons, she had a feeling that her younger daughter Evelyn was hiding something from them. But what she was hiding,is it something that could cause harm on them? She mused.
She'd have to visit Reese as soon as possible.
***************
In the royal castle, Isla and Lila were walking ok the hallway when Isla suddenly stopped walking. She turned to look at Lila.
"How many siblings do you have?" Isla asked.
Lila took in a deep breath before replying," just one. She is my younger sister. "
Oh that's pretty cool. I'm the only child of my parents. Well and you know vampires don't grow old, so we basically are the same age. She said with a wink.
Oh. Lila siad.
Uhm, I'd let you be. Isla said and Lila nodded while Isla bowed curtly before leaving. Once she was gone, Lila took in a deep breath until she heard loud shrp footsteps. She didn't dare fret as she suddenly feel his strong powerful hands wrapped around her waist.
His hot breath fanning on her neck, sending tickling sensation to her skin. She closed her eyes as she suddenly heard his deep masculine voice.
"You smell clean and untouched". He whispered and Lila's eyes flew opened.
She tried to turn but Julian didn't bulge as he suddenly tightened his grip on her.
"You are one of a kind. " He said before letting go of her. Lila ha dtge urge to punch him but he was a vampire and she a mere human.
"I thought you have a wife. " She said with a calm tone, but Julian could sense her boiling anger underneath that tone.
"No, but soon. The royal castle will holding a feast soon but the date hasn't been given yet. Until then, be my woman. " He said with a straight forward tone.
You know it's not possible. Human and vampire been in a relationship. It won't work. Lila said reasonably.
It will work. Julian pointed out.
"How?" Lila asked her Sapphire blue eyes shining with curiosity and eagerness.
Well, they are still looking for ways so I hope it will work. Julian said his red eyes staring intently at the beautiful human girl.
"Why are you staring at me ?" She asked slightly feeling uncomfortable with the way he was gazing at her as though he could see the darkest part of her soul and heart.
"Let's take a walk to the garden. " He said Casually changing the topic as if sensing her uneasiness.
Lila sigh deeply without arguing and followed him.
They walked side by side without holding hands nor talking.
The silence was dragging until Julian broke the silence.
"When next will you visit?" He asked, his gaze looking ahead. Lila turned to look at him, following his sight and almost gasp when she saw a big waterfall.
Question: Do you all think Julian is interested in Lila or is just his vampiric instincts acting on its own??
