Die For You | 𝐆𝐮𝐆𝐮

𝙲𝚑𝚊𝚙𝚝𝚎𝚛 𝟶𝟶𝟻

Guinevere feels nothing but regret and longing.

When their lips touched one another, euphoria exploded behind her. It feels like she is finally on the right place. Her home. Her comfort. Him and his presence. She craves for it and wretching herself away from him hurts physically, mentally... importantly, emotionally.

Selfish coward... I hate you so much.

Haven't you hated yourself enough?

There is no one else in this world who can hate her as much as she hates herself. Her blind act of pressing their lips to one another... added to another list of the things she regrets in her entire life. No matter how much right it feels, it was wrong. Even if he is her mate, she doesn't own him. Gusion is his own...

Or maybe Lesley's.

Guinevere whimpered at her own thoughts. She clutched the blanket and hugs it tightly for some semblance of comfort. Her bag laid on the floor messily while the notes and questionnaires he gave her is in Guinevere's side. She lifted the paper and watched the elegant writing with rapt attention. She caressed each letters with sadness.

Fuck, so fucking pathetic. She can feel his presence on the paper and it comforted her... how little it may be. She hugs it to her chest accepting everything. She'll let all her feelings out this evening.

She closed her eyes as she started to reminisce her greatest regrets.

Flashback...

That day, hundred years before, Gusion Paxley (18) unluckily crossed paths with a young child vampire, Guinevere Baroque (16).

What Guinevere thought when she first saw him is how beautiful he is under the moonlight. He was gazing to the moon, his cerulean orbs shining as he looks at the world as if it's the most enchanting thing his eyes have laid on. Her heart raced at the sight and she wanted to claim him on the spot.

So she did.

She jumped to his back, startling him as Guinevere bit his neck. Mine... Mine... is what raced to her thoughts, not realizing the consequences she committed that day.

He gently pried her off his neck as Guinevere smiles at him brightly, with blood on her mouth and teeth from his neck. He winced as he held his neck from the pain she inflicted on him.

"I found you! My mate!" She declared at him in her childish, squeaky voice. Her eyes shining playfully and in mirth.

He looks at her with widened eyes, as his hands rubbing through his neck stop at the motion. Guinevere blinks her eyes as she looks at his ring finger that is wrapped with a plain yet elegant gold ring. She ignored that information as she focused on his smell, minty and apple. It was addicting and it blesses her nostrils and lungs everytime she takes a breathe.

"I'm your... mate?" He asks her with a small voice. Doesn't he feel the connection they have at one another? Guinevere can feel it in her veins that he is her mate. When she looks at him, euphoria exploded behind her.

Guinevere nodded, enthusiastic. "You are! I can feel it! You are meant for me!" She declared once again. "You're mine."

A few days after that, the House Paxley and House Vance is on the verge of declaring bad blood eerrr- war at one another. Supposedly, both the family's union which to happen a week after the biting incident was cancelled. In the early 90's, vampires have been common and there is a legislation that protects mated vampires. The bond that the two possess are more like marriage now. Something that couldn't be easily tampered. When she bit him, they became one.
