Elle could not speak nor could she move. She was completely dumbstruck at his claims. All she could do was stare at him. Lord… W-what in the world… what in the world was she hearing right now? W-was this even real? Could she really be hearing these words coming from his mouth? She knew she saw his lips move and then heard the words entering her ears. But somehow, they seemed to be quite unreal even as her mind processed what was being said.

Her heart began to thud hard within her chest. She was not quite sure what to think at the moment. Her body and mind were paralyzed and it was only her heart that was reacting so erratically. However, she could not even tell what was the meaning behind her erratic heartbeat. Was it happiness that she was feeling or was it a sense of danger? She was not sure … she really could not tell. Perhaps because she was feeling both right now.

The look in his eyes made her feel like she was looking at her downfall and salvation all at once. "Answer me, Izabelle." He uttered in a hoarse yet firm voice. "I…" she managed a word. Her eyes still staring at him in utter disbelief. "You're… I…" When she could not even form a coherent sentence, Sebastian palmed the side of her head, his thumb caressing her cheek gently. "Forgive me, but you don't have any choice on this matter. Your only choice is to stay with me forever, Izabelle." Her eyes slowly widened. Lord… what… what was going on? "And since I've already decided to chain you here to me whether you like it or not, I'm now going to reveal everything to you. There is no use hiding it from you anymore." He continued before she could even recover from another unexpected and mind-numbing confession he just made. No, she was not sure if she could even consider those words as 'confessions', because right now, a part of her was telling her that this was him, declaring his complete and selfish possession over her. He draped his robe on her and then settled her on the fabric on the ground. Elle tilted her head to look up at him, and she saw how he was still rock hard as he casually dressed himself. His eyes never leaving hers even for one second. Her pessimistic mind did not allow her to believe that this was a confession of love from Sebastian. She could not… no, she would not believe that it was love. Her mind was telling her that what this was might probably be just, obsession. Her mind reasoned out that this was why she felt stuck at the border of whether she should 09:13

jump up and down in happiness or take a step back and flee for her life. reasoned out that this was why she felt stuck at the border of whether she should jump up and down in happiness or take a step back and flee for her life. Squatting before her, Sebastian slowly reached out and tucked a damp strand of her hair behind her ear. And then he quietly dealt with her dress, putting everything back into its proper place quietly, efficiently and gently while Elle just continued watching him wordlessly. Though her body was still and unmoving, her mind was the opposite. It was currently a jumble of thoughts zipping around, trying to logic things out as quickly as she could. He even gently combed her hair back and rearranged it as best as he could with his fingers, causing Elle's heart to flutter in the midst of her mind's doubts. "I know this would be hard for you to digest, but you will eventually learn to accept it. Knowing you, it would be sooner rather than later." He told her once he was done with his tidying her up. "And don't worry because I will –"

"Sebastian." She finally spoke, her eyes wandering about and could not just focus on his face. She felt like he was suddenly moving too fast without any breaks. It was just way too fast! This was a total 180-turn from what he had been behaving like from before and her mind was struggling to keep up with it. "Uhm… I… I think I need to –"

He yanked her against him and the next thing she knew, he was scooped up and securely held within his arms. "No… I told you, Izabelle. You don't have a choice." He reiterated that statement and then Elle gasped, squeezing her eyes close as her arms wrapped tightly around his neck. Her mind was reeling now as she felt that impossible thing happening once again.

"Open your eyes, Izabelle." His voice crept through her as she panted hard. "Open your eyes and see for yourself… this secret that you so badly wanted to learn about, baby." He coaxed and her heart felt like it was going to explode as she slowly opened her eyes. Catching her breath, Elle scrambled to wrap her arms around his neck in a death grip. Oh lord! Just with a peek, she saw that they were on top of something high! Really high!

She heard his low chuckle against her ear followed by his voice. "Easy, baby. You're not going to fall or get hurt, I promise you that." He whispered reassuringly. "Lift up your head and look. Yes… that's my brave princess…" Elle was holding her breath as she looked around to understand where they were at that moment. They were right outside of the forest already. An empty road was below them and she could see the bright lights shimmering through the night from the town. He was… oh lord… he was … No, they were standing on top of a transmission tower by the road! "Oh, my lord!!" she exclaimed breathlessly in shock. "W-what in the… let's get down, Sebastian! Lord, oh lord, Sebastian…"

He just chuckled, and then he jumped down, causing her to scream and her arms instinctively wrapped around his neck like a vice. She felt like her heart had literally stopped for a moment. When she calmed down a little, she found that they were already sitting on a bench overlooking the town. His hand was slowly rubbing circles into her back, trying to coax her to calm down. After a long while, she finally managed to pull away and looked up at him. Their gazes met and…

"Yes, Izabelle. I'm a vampire."
