Chapter Twenty Seven

I stared at Blades muscular back. My heart warm from Blade admitting to me he indeed is my soul mate. My chest was tight and I began to worry, Blade didn't face me. Why isn't he kissing me? My mind rambled with negative thoughts before I pushed them aside.

"Why didn't you tell me before?" I asked.

He sighed dropping his head to the ground. The cool air, blew his and my hair around. I moved the loose strands away from my eyes.

"I was afraid Avery." His voice pained, "I don't want you to end up like..."

He didn't need to finish what he was about to say. I knew who he was referring to.

"I'm not her." I said with power and reassurance. "I won't leave you," He turned around as I spoke, "ever."

It wasn't a fact, I was making him a promise. I couldn't leave him, I wouldn't even dare to. I...love him.

"But if you knew who I really am, you would." His body tensed, he spoke as if he was trying to make himself believe his words.

"I know who you are." I stated with my head raised high.

He raised his perfectly shaped brow and his eyes wide, "You do?"

"Yes." I slowly walked until I stood in front of him, "Your gentle, kind, caring, and strong. You are my soul mate, I would not leave you. I...I love you."

Blade looked down at me with narrow eyes, "That isn't me Avery. It never has been, it never will be."

What he said was like a slap in the face. He didn't see himself the way I do. He thinks he's some kind of... I don't really know.

I decided to ask, "Then explain to me who you are."

He sighed heavily stepping back from me but never breaking eye contact, "I'm a killer. I've killed more people then you can register in your mind."

"You only kill people who doesn't deserve to live. I have done my research on you." I admitted with no regret.

"Wherever you done your research," He quoted, "doesn't mean it's true."

I shook my head, "It is true, I know it is. Isn't it?" I asked hopeful.

He groaned frustrated, "Yes it's true but it doesn't change the fact I've killed people."

"I know." I nodded.

Blade eyed me carefully, "Do you know how I became what I am today?"

I remembered what Lucas told me, "When you firsts changed into a vampire the...craving was intense. A siren tried to call to you. When she got to close you drunk from her, but before you completely drain her she cursed you."

He nodded, "That is what happened but do you know how my soul mate, clearly you, would come to know my true self?"

I frowned, "By singing?"

He chuckled, "That was actually a type of gift from drinking from her but no that isn't it."

"What is it?" I eagerly asked.

He pulled out a dagger, "With this."

He held it out for me to see it fully. I took ahold of the handle and held it. He removed his sword from its holder. The dagger resembled his sword, except the blade of his was red. Blood red. The dagger was still silver, shining in the moonlight.

"What is this?" I turned the dagger in my hand and he places his sword back in its holding place.

"That dagger," He pointed, "Is what will tell you and show you who I really am."

"How do I find out who you really are?" I spoke quickly, "Do I cut you with this? Can I see who you are right now?"

He chuckled amused, "Not in this form. Not in my cursed form, they are rules however."

"Rules?"

"Yes." He nooded, "You get three tries to find out my real self. If the firsts two is wrong the blade turns black. You must cut the palm, coating the tip of the edge in blood from whoever you cut."

"What happens when I do find your true self?" I asked looking in his eyes.

Both of us sharing a seriousness of expressions.

"It will turn the blade red like my sword." He answered.

I nodded, "What would happen if I cut you in this form?"

"I...I don't know." He replied truthfully.

"Can we...try?" I hesitated.

He froze, "I don't think that is a good idea."

I cleared my throat, "Okay."
