The Vampire Prince
Ellie Princess
"Please don't leave me" she cried out helplessly feeling dejected as she continued to thrash in my arms. Her swollen eyes and hoarse voice broke what's left of my already broken heart knowing fully well that I was the cause of her plight.
Oh, how I wish things were different. That I wasn't a vampire and she the most beautiful human being I've had the privilege to lay my eyes on, that I wasn't the devil and she an angel.
"You can't stay," I said equally pained if not more.
"But I want to stay with you". She continued to lament.
"You can't okay it's not safe for you anymore" I replied getting kinda pissed. Did she think this was easy for me?
"You're going home Angel," I told her.
"What! No! I am home" she whimpered.
Someone suddenly cleared his throat behind silently telling me to hurry up. Noticing that we'd been going around in circles, I sighed deeply. I looked straight into her enchanting forest green eyes almost getting lost.
"I love you okay, always remember that. No matter what I've always loved you and I always will". I professed, no truer words had ever or would ever pass through my lips.
"I lo..." before she could finish, I put my index finger on her delicately plump lips. "Shh, don't say it. I don't deserve it, I don't deserve you. Say it to someone who wouldn't cause you so much pain and sadness."
I placed a lingering kiss on her forehead then looked in her eyes once more and they were literally pleading to not send her away; to not destroy what we already have but I can't just ignore the danger.
She continued to squirm in my hold, her hand reaching out to me. My breath hitched the second her warm hand touched the light stubble on my jaw. This simple gesture made my heart thump hard against my rib cage. I guided her hand to my chest where she could feel my erratic heartbeat.
"This my love is what you do to me with just a mere touch." My body tingled from head to toe igniting a fire within me; a feral need to be with her; to comfort her; to love her.
