Chapter 17

Mia's Pov

I lifted my head to see who it was.

I watched Aldric come closer to my little den I made for myself to stay away from Dante.

Luckily he was very busy this week and took a bit of my blood every now and then but left me alone.

- Mia you can't go on like this.

His voice was full of concern.

- What do you care what I do?
I'm just a dog to you vampires. What makes you any different?

I turned away from him and placed my head on my knees.

- Starving yourself won't solve anything.

- I don't feel like eating.

He came over to me and sat down.

I turned my head and looked at him.
He was even handsome from the side, but that was the last thing I cared about at the moment. Right now I just wanted to be left alone. Talking to anyone just took up so much of my energy.

- Leave me alone please.

-Nope!

He said in a weirdly cheerful tone.

- I'm not leaving until you eat this.

He put a plate infront of me, that had a nice sandwich on it. My stomach rummbled just at the sight of it.

- I said I'm not hungry.

He chuckled at my behaviour.

- And I'm not leaving until you eat this.

He laid his back against the wall and waited for me to take a bite from the delisiously looking sandwich.

- Well, you can wait for that.

- I will.

He said calmly. I watched him take out his phone and start sending e-mails about business.

...

It's been seven hours with him sitting here and me fighting the urge to grab that sandwich and eat it.

- I can feel how much you want to eat.

How on earth could he feel that? If he was in my head aswell I was going to slap him across the face.

- You don't need to punish yourself for something you didn't do.

- I failed her! don't you understand?

I shouted at him. Raising my voice made me feel really dizzy.

- Are you sure your mother would want you to do this to yourself?

He asked his voice soft as silk. I started thinking about how my mom would feel, if she would find out what I'm doing. She would probably say it wasn't my fault, but It was my fault.

I didn't get to her in time. I didn't kill Dante. Or find a way to save her. I started searching for help when it was already too late.

How could I let her die?

I heard Aldric sigh.

- Do you really want to punish yourself?

I think the answer to that question was already pretty clear, but I replied with a nod.

- Will that make you feel better?

I nodded again.

- I can help you do that if you want.

I furrowed my brows. A few seconds ago he was telling me how I shoulddn't do that and blah blah blah. And now he was offering to help me? This man is wierd.

- I wouldn't whip you or anything like my brother did.

Right now I wouldn't mind being whipped again. The pain inside was harder and stronger, than any physical pain right now.

- Then how?

I asked.

- You need to eat first cause you're to weak, And you can not tell my brother about it. Understood?

I nodded.

- Okay then eat.

I reached for the sandwich.

- How do I know you're not lying?

I asked lowering the two pieces of bread filled with ham and cheese, with a few cucumbers and butter.

- I don't lie Mia.

His eyes were clear and beautiful. I could tell he wasn't lying.

I took a bite from the sandwich and swallowed it after chewing. It tasted very nice.

After I finished the sandwich I looked at Aldric.

- What now?

I asked.

- Tilt your head to the side.

I did as he said.

Soon after I felt him get closer to my neck. His white fangs pierced my skin.
The blood rushed out into his mouth. The pain was intense and didn't go away.
I felt like I deserved it, and much more.

- Please don't go easy on me.

I said waiting for the pain to become more intense, and it did. I bit my lower lip now tasting my own metalic blood in my mouth.

I felt him pull out his fangs.

- That's it for today, you're still very weak.

I broke and let everything out.

- That wasn't enough! I deserve more!
Aldric please! You caused me so little pain compared to what I deserve!!
Please Aldric I'm begging you!

My tears rolled down my face. My eyes were burning from crying so much and I had hiccups.

He pulled me into his embrace and pushed my head against his chest.

- Shhh....It's okay...

He pulled me into his lap and started moving side to side gently rocking me, like a kid to try and calm me down.

He pushed soft kisses on the top of my head which made me comfortable and I felt safe.

I felt like as long as he was here nothing bad could happen to me. No one could touch me not even Dante. Which probably wasn't the case but it was nice feeling safe even if it was just for a little while.

I soon fell asleep with his muscular arms wrapped around me. I haven't slept so good for a very long time. Well since Dante has kept me here. I fell asleep thinking how much easier it would be to just disappear from this world. No one needed me anyway. I was just a useless toy, who can be thrown around, used and hurt.

I lost my value. And I lost all my reasond to continue living. I wanted to stop all the pain that was inside me. I wanted all of it to just stop. And escaping this cruel world seem to be the only way that would make me at peace, and make all the hurting stop, once and for all.
