“Antonette,” Niall called after his girlfriend, who ran away, laughing, from him. He shook his head at her childishness and ran after her. He used his human speed. They were at the park with lots of people. He wouldn’t risk it, and wouldn’t risk his girlfriend to burn together with him.
He stopped as he remembered the day he was turned into a vampire by a girl he met in a trial of witches. He liked her the moment he saw her but she betrayed him. She seduced him one night. He was excited but he didn’t know she was going to turn him into an immortal, heartless monster.
“Are you okay, Nialler?” Antonette went back to him and asked him, concern evident in her voice. He nodded and laced his fingers with her. He took her to an ice cream parlor. He always knew his girl love ice cream especially vanilla.
He couldn’t help but smile as he saw the bright smile on her face as she ate the ice cream. Antonette, the only one who could bring out the child in him - the child that was three hundred years old. He lost count.
Niall sat on one of the bench in the park, watching a family have a picnic together. His smile never left his face and if it was possible it only got brighter as he watched the family.
It was fifteen years ago when he broke up with Antonette. It was years after that she found someone new—a human with a heart and can grow old with her, unlike him. They married soon after and had children of their own.
The pain and sadness were still there but he wouldn’t risk losing Antonette or rather killing her with his own bare hands. He loves her so dearly until now that he vows to protect the family, invincibly.
He was happy now despite that he was cursed to roam the earth forever in loneliness. He was happy, at least, that he didn’t kill or changed the girl he loves dearly and truly. Oh how he would hate himself if that happens. He doesn’t want her to be damned forever.
Their love wasn’t forbidden, not like his other friends but the fear that he would kill her was there, and if he didn’t let her go sooner he might have to do it, when the animal in him or rather the monster in would take over. Niall closed his eyes and breathed. He opened it again, and smiled again as he watched the family.
I vow to protect thee that I let you go
For my demons might hurt you,
My angel is thee, they don’t want you
Keep in mind that I’ll always be your beaux.
~ Protecting ~
