Between A Vampire & A Witch (chp.2)

Between A Vampire & A Witch

“It’s been a week already and Vael is still nowhere to be found.”

It was a dark night, my parents were out of town and it was charming enough that Adrie came to accompany me as I was feeling very weak due to the sickness I’ve been kept secret about. Although, only Adrie and Vael knew about it. Not to forget, Vael been missing ever since the day I’ve been attacked violently by his sister which clearly makes me feel even more sick.

“Annika, don’t worry about him. I’ll try and find him for you. But as for now, you just need to rest alright dollface?” Adrie tucked me into my bed, treated me as if I was a 4 year old girl.

I had a strange disease that no one could understand. It is like as if I was put into a cursed or some sort. This curse of mine came to me unexpectedly and unpredictable, it came whenever it feels like to. Although, I have never feel so much in pain like I felt on that exact sick moment that I had to endure. I was having a very high fever, my body tends to be weak as if something was poking me until the throbbing pain reached my bones, I was sweating vastly and I felt terribly in nausea state too. I tried to rest but I just couldn’t. Knowing that I had to suffer my sickness without my love, Vael is a pain in my heart. My mind couldn’t stop me from thinking about Vael, Is he alive or dead? Vael always kept me hanging, left me all alone when I am actually seeking for his attention.

The room suddenly became all chilly, I shivered and strangely, I couldn’t breathe properly, less air is sucked into my lungs like as if there was a blockage for me to actually breathe. Then, I kept on coughing and coughing until it came to a point where I bleed cough. And everything seemed to be blurry in my vision of eye sight. “What’s happening to me?” I questioned myself.

“I can’t breathe.” I said in my ever so soft and weak tone.

“Annika, stay with me. I don’t expect the time to come now, I came unprepared. ” Adrie knew that someday I will face the moment where my sickness will brought up to my death.

“I can’t breathe.” That was all I could say and later Adrie noticed I am turning pale as a dead girl.
“You need something!” Adrie was sensing that I was in a terrible condition and his witchy intuition led him to do something that can actually save me.

“Adrie, don’t leave me.” I managed to grab his wrist before he left my room in a rush
.
“Don’t worry, Annika. I promise, I will be back in a jiff, just hold on. Wait for me, I’m gonna make you all better, my dear.” The last thing he did was kissing my forehead and off he went, leaving me alone.
“Adrie..”

It was shocking that my sickness had come to its worst on that night. “This will be the end of my life.” That’s what I thought since I couldn’t seem to bear that crucial pain anymore. It felt as if my whole body was burning. My head was spinning non-stop and it hurts badly. I was shivering, shaking just like someone who was possessed by an evil soul. What a throbbing pain I had to suffer. And yet no one was around me at the state of my dying moment. I need and I long for the love of my heart to give me the strength to live on. I was waiting with full hope that one of them will eventually come and keep me alive.

As time passed by, the wind blew swiftly through my open window. Adrie was still out of sight. The night was cold and starry with the full moon glowing in the dark sky. I knew that this day will come, a day where my soul will be taken but never in my mind I ever imagine that I had to suffer this all alone. My dying night seemed to be filled with loneliness and despair. My heart was bleeding, not just because the fact that my disease attacked me but my love hasn’t come to rescue me. All of the sudden, my eyesight was showing a vision of a shadowy figured guy appeared in the scene. The shadow came closer and revealed his face. I couldn’t see properly and the only person that I thought will be coming and cure me is Adrie.

“Adrie” In my weakest voice, I said his name.

“Annika, are you alright?” I knew that voice and it was certainly not the witch, it was in fact my vampire boyfriend. Vael came to face me who was already waiting to let out my last breath. I couldn’t say anything, I got tongue tied since it was hard for me to even inhale the air and what more when it comes to speaking?
By just taking a glimpse at me, Vael understood my serious condition.

“Sorry, I couldn’t come earlier but listen to me, Annika. I can save you but I need your acceptance on this. Remember when you told me about your life grabbing sickness, I know you didn’t agree to be my kind when I first offered you but I have no other choice now. You need to be one, you’re dying! The only thing that can save you now is by turning you as an immortal. I love you and I wouldn’t dare to leave you without any heartbeat.” It was the first time Vael has proven how much he loves me.
