17-Monster.
Arianna POV.
I came back home angrier than ever, I actually believed he’s going to come, but I’m crazy, crazy enough to fall in love with a creature of my own imagination, Scar is only a creature of my imagination, he’s just a monster that lives in my head and I need to stop this, stop sleeping just to meet up with him, to fall for him, all that got to stop.
Back at home, I made it late, and I’m freezing now, I went straight to my room and decided to stay there, but first I had to make sure he won’t be able to see me, I closed my blinds, got down on my knees to check if there’s anything under the bed, but there was nothing here. I got up and went to get my papa, he can help check that there’s nothing under my bed, I went on the search for him, I don’t want anyone else to know what I’m calling him for, I’m a big girl, not a child anymore, I’m an adult.
“Hey, papa,” I say going to his side, he’s talking to others, but I don’t want them to notice me, I don’t like them much, I was raised shielded mostly, not many kids are born in the vampire family, and we who are born are kept away from the adults one until we hit a century or two, if you are dominant, you get introduced back by your parents, if you are submissive, your dominant would do the job then.
“Hey, little bat,” my papa answers holding me close to him, it’s the same way he did it back when I was a child and wanted to sit with him the whole time.
“Can you come for a bit?” I whisper in his ear, he nods and we both move out of the room.
“Yes?” he asks me as I drag him into my room.
“Can you check for monsters?” I ask him with big wide eyes, being a little came in my favour, it wasn’t the weirdest request I ever asked for.
“Sure” he answers me, looking under my bed, in my closet, behind the blinds, he did a double-check before looking at me.
“Your room is monster free” he announces to me, making me feel safe, finally.
“Thank you papa” I say happy for his help, I always feel safer when he helps me, he got closer and gave me a hug, my cold hands touched his back, he pulled back with a squeal making me giggle.
“Your hands are freezing” he scolds, that was the point, I roll my eyes at him.
“Go take a hot shower, and wear something warm Arianna” he scolds, his parental instincts hitting.
“Fine, I will” I say trying to push him out of the room, I wasn’t in my little space, he doesn’t need to help.
I took a hot shower, I was freezing, it’s so cold outside, but now I’m back and warm, I changed to my pj, I can eat my dinner in pj, I finished my shower, brushed my long hair and sat in bed, enjoying the warmth under the blanket, I didn’t mean to fall asleep, but I did. I saw him in my dream again, I saw the monster, I was angry, no not angry, I was pissed at him, he can come and scolds me about it but I don’t care, he means nothing to me.
“Rina” he starts but I wasn’t going to listen, I’m mad at him, he’s a creation of my imagination.
“It’s Arianna!” I yell at him angry, I want him to get out of my mind, out of my dreams, he’s not a real creature.
“I know Arianna, but I don’t call you like everyone else, you’re my special little thing” he says making me feel boiling with anger, I can’t be his, he’s not a real creature for me to fall for.
“I can’t be your special thing! Not when you are just a monster of hell! A creature of my imagination” I yell at him.
“Rina, Arianna, I can’t… I can’t tell you what I really am princess…” he says, but that doesn’t make sense.
“You can’t show me your face! You can’t tell em what you really are! This is all a messed up dream!” I yell at him, knowing this wasn’t real, I need to wake up, I have to wake up.
“Wait, Arianna, ler me explain” he calls after me, but I woke up, I woke up with trears streaming down my face and my dad and papa holding me close between them two.
“What’s wrong little bat? What happened?” my dad asks.
“It was just a bad dream” I say but I see them share a look, they knew something, or maybe they doubt something, but right now I just want to forget it all.
