....Oliver POV....
Ok,this place is getting more creepier by the moment and I'm getting more uncomfortable with each passing seconds
I could always turn back and tell father I didn't see the girl, but what if damian is lying dead somewhere"
I kept thinking to myself
I was so lost in thought it took me some moments to figure out that I had unwanted company
Before I could even figure out my stance,I was almost surrounded by wolves
More like plain luck, one of the wolves changed back into it's real human self
I'm guessing you're looking for the girl?" The transformed wolf questioned me
A lot of instincts were telling me to whoosh outta there,but I can't not without knowing if damian and the girl were safe
Yes,I'm looking for her,do you happen to know where she is?"
I question the wolf guy trying to act all tough,even though I know that right now I'm greatly outnumbered and stand a chance of being killed
Let me give you a clue buddy"
The guy said to me with eyes that seemed to hold a lot of mysteries
Run as fast as you can and don't look back,the girl you're here for has been taken,we'd have killed you but you've done nothing to us"
The wolf guy rasp quietly at me while suspiciously gazing at me
I'd never felt more relieved in my entire life,this was what I'd relate as passing through the eye of a needle
With tensed breath that I didn't even realize I had been holding I make to leave now that luck seemed to be on my side
But stopping midway and turning to look back at them
We vampires and wolves don't have a very Disney history,why are you letting me go?
I stare crookedly at the guy that had been addressing me while waiting for reply that could change all perspective
The girl we captured has a good heart,and she's fearless nothing like she was described by her enemy, it's because of her I'm letting you go"
The guy answered me, even though a little mind of mine was doubting his words,the look of sincerity and honesty in his eyes made me think otherwise
Well thank you, I appreciate it"
I say to the guy,and turned to leave but his voice stopped me
Be careful of your friends,there are wolves in sheep's clothing amongst your clan"
And with those words he turned back and left with his pack just as they had came
I guess Damian had found Kate,I'd best get my behind to the castle and brace myself up for the worst
With that single thought I raced back to the castle,just in time to see damian slumping down to
the floor along with Kate
Anna!!! Come out here and give me a hand"
Turning to pick Damian up with Anna rushing out of the rooms, I see that Damian isn't unconscious but just weak
Managing every step we get them to Damian's Chambers, where Damian with his all snobbish character asks us to leave
Well if you die it wouldn't be on my head" I say to him with all impunity
Truth be told I had done my own part of the work
Just leave I'll be fine on my own"
He answered me with that annoying breather that I'm hoping to punch out of him one of this days
Well suit yourself"
With that said,I walked out his Chambers
... Damian POV...
Now that I've got Kate safe from the wolves,it's even more complicated
How do I tell her that without her blood I'd die,and how sure am I that she would even let me drink from her
I can't breath,I'm dying" Her soft voice flows to me
Even as she says those little words I can feel the impact behind them
Hey princess it's gonna be ok, I've got you this time and I promise I won't let you go again" I whisper to her hoping that somehow the words would comfort her
Looking across the blinds of the window,I can see that it's almost sunset
Biting my wrist with my fangs, I hand my already spilling blood to her mouth trying to make her drink
But trust this prima Donna to always make a scene even in a time so critical
Gross, what on Earth do you think you're doing right now?"
That haughty look appearing in her eyes but not with much fervor as it used to be
I'm trying to save you love,you drink my blood it heals you"
I say to her trying to convince her
Won't that make me a vampire?"
Corking her head strangely she looked at me
Not if you don't die within the next 24 hours, you'll be perfectly fine"
I answer her as a matter of fact
But then what happens to you,will your blood heal you too?"
An expression that I've come to realize is that of care towards me lingers in her eyes as she questions me
The only way I can be healed is with your blood Katerina,but I can't be healed if you don't let me drink, that is if I force myself to drink from you without your consent it'll be void, it would only kill me faster"
I rasp quietly to her while searching her eyes inquisitively for any slight emotion that could mean something
You rescued me,even when I was a pain in your ass,you still came for me, I at least owe you some gratitude"
She replied with an expressionless face
Then turning towards me,she grabbed my hand and drank my blood with a look of disgust on her face
And almost immediately,the injury on her neck starts to heal,her neck is whole again like there hadn't been an injury
But just before she can stretch her wrist for me to bite,the sun goes completely down, leaving me gasping for air
I withdraw my hands not out of will but because I can't control myself
But suddenly the Kate is by my side with tears in her eyes and a bleeding wrist pressing the blood close to my lips to give me life
But just before I can slip out of existence I hear her words I never imagined she'd say
Don't leave me Damian,you might be a jerk and a monster but I couldn't help it She whispers to me as her tears keep pouring out on my face
Her blood flowing into my mouth and through my veins starts to revive me and I know death is far away from me
Lowering her face down to mine and cupping my face
I love you Damian" She says to me
Getting just an inch closer to my face, she does the most unbelievably thing
She kissed me....
TBC
Damian's POV
Wow!!! This is an unexpected turn of events,I mean she saved me and kissed me all at the same time
Right now we're both in the same room feeling kinda awkward after the whole kissy drama
Did you really meant what you said?"
I turn my gaze at her
Mean what?"
She replied me obviously trying to play dumb to the question
Well I've had her confess to me and I wasn't gonna let her back away from those feelings she had for me
Standing up and walking over to her side with her eyes following my every move,I bent low enough to make it seem as if I wanted to kiss her but staring unflinchingly at her eyes
My gaze steadfast on hers, I asked again
Do you really love me? Or you just said it at the heat of the moment?"
I force a questioning gaze at her anticipating a reply that might change everything
What if did mean those words, it's not like it would change anything" Her soft reply came back to me
This was it, she loves me, and she thought I couldn't change but I will all because of her
I love you too princess,I just couldn't tell you,I was scared I'd be rejected by you" I say to her ignoring her shocked expression
Yeah I know,the great and mighty Damian professing to love a girl is not something that is seen everyday
Wait,you love me?? How is that possible,you've always been a jerk to me!!"
She started speaking almost immediately I had told her I loved her
Is it a surprise for you that I love you?"
I question her tentatively looking at her to see her reaction
No it's not,but what about your betrothed, it's not like anything can be done"
She rasp quietly while breaking the eye contact with me looking all downcast all of a sudden
Just as I was about speaking,the door opened and the devil herself stepped in
Oh babe, are you ok? Are you hurt?"
Xina shrill voice could be heard as she fussed over me
I'm starting to think her fussing was all pretence
Then whipping her head so fast I thought it would drop off her neck, she turned toward Katerina
And you,I heard you're the reason my groom got hurt in the first place, shouldn't you be getting
yourself scarce right about now?"
She asked Katerina while throwing laser shots from her eyes
But Katerina always being herself was more than ready to start trouble anytime
She stood up and walked closer to xina, while clapping her hand in a way I've come to depict as mockery
Well,well,well, if it isn't the concerned bride here to check on her groom"
She smirked at xina with blood lazed eyes that looked as if it would devour someone
Of course I'm the concerned bride, while am taking care of him,you're putting him in absolute danger, you should get lost before the king pours his anger on you"
Xina scoffed while putting on that smug smile that was getting Kate angry by the moment
Ok ladies,no need to start up a fight,xina thank you for the care but I'm fine,you may leave" I say to xina turning my full attention to her
Irrespective of their differences I had to come in between before a fight starts, because right now Kate's power is at it's utmost peak due to my blood flowing in her veins,I don't wanna start imagining the amount of damage she could do to xina
Fine,I'll leave not because of that slut but because of you" Xina smiled at me while walking closer to me
Kate's anger must have been unleashed when she was referred to as a " slut"
But her calm unwavering voice could have scared a normal person
Xina, or whatever your name is, if you don't watch your tongue,I'll be driving a stake into your heart anytime soon"
Kate's eyes blazed with fury as she addressed xina
Whatever,it's not like am scared of you"
Xina's reply could be heard distinctly laced with fear
From the corner of my eye,I could make out a smug smile on Katerina face, apparently she too had felt the fear in xina's voice
With a smirk still on her face,Kate replied her
For you sake I really hope you're not"
Xina being undaunted turned to me, while standing on her tips to kiss me on the lips,but the unexpected happened
Even I could feel the the pressure with which xina pulled away from me and it turned out Kate was behind it
What the heck do you think you're doing?"
Xina's voice could be heard vibrating with anger now
What do you think bitch? Stopping you from kissing him duhh" Kate replied her with her hands still holding xina's
Xina who was now more than furious flinged Kate's hands from hers
Why will you tell me what to do with my betrothed?"
Xina who was getting ready to pounce on Kate questioned
Well because I'm into him now and I'd like to have him all to myself Kate gently replied her still smiling
That sure as hell shocked xina, her expression Instantly changed from furious to murderous
You haven't heard the last from me bitch,just wait till the king hears about this"
Xina yelled at Kate while turning around to leave the room
Oh and xina"
Kate began again
I really hope you don't have a hand with my being kidnapped before because if you do you'll regret meeting me"
Xina undaunted warning resounded throughout the room
But xina just ignored her and walked out
Ok,what was that about?"
I turn a questioning gaze to kate
Oh nothing love,just me claiming you to be mine,get used to it"
And with just that reply she walked out stating that she was starving and needed to find food....
