My Immortal Love *Being Rewritten*

Sudden Passion

Vera and I cried ourselves to sleep. We regretted our actions, and I regretted agreeing to Drea's idea. If I had not agreed, she would never have tried to commit suicide. I was so miserable that I even let Dimitri comfort me.

When I woke up, I was in my bedroom, and I wasn't even mad at Dimitri for carrying me to my room.

I went down to the dungeons to see Drea, but she was the same as the previous night, and I didn't think that she heard my assurance that she was going to be alright.

Vera and I visited her every night. She healed little by little, her burnt skin flaking off and her hair growing back. Eventually she was able to speak hoarsely. When that happened, Dimitri told us to leave him and Drea alone, but we eavesdropped on their conversation from the top of the stairs.

"Drea?" Dimitri asked softly.

"Master." she breathed.

"You scared me to death. Don't ever do that again."

"But you don't want me." she told him.

"Of course I do. Why do you think that?"

"Vera is so much nicer than me, Alivia is prettier, so why would you need me? I don't deserve to live."

"Yes you do, don't say that." he said.

"No I don't." she sobbed. "No one wanted me when I was human, so why would you want me as a vampire?"

"I want you because I saw a beautiful little girl where others saw a filthy orphan. I want you because when everyone else saw someone who grew up on the streets, I saw a brave young woman who was hardened by the difficulties of life. Why would I not want you? Why would I not love you?" he said, completely heartfelt and sincere. My breath was taken away by the total truth that I heard in his words.

Drea was sobbing, but she didn't sound sad anymore; more like reassured and glad that she had been, because she never thought she would be.

After a few minutes, she stopped crying, and then there for a few more minutes, there was silence.

Then we heard Drea's deep breaths, and we knew she was asleep. We heard Dimitri walking down the hallway. We straightened up and backed up away from the doorway just as he walked out the door.

"Master," Vera said. She approached him, then put her arms around him. He put his around her, too.

I couldn't stand to watch them, perfectly content in each others embrace. I backed away out a door, and then ran all the way to my room, where I cried myself to sleep once more.

I woke up cradled in someone's arms, feeling perfectly content in the firm, yet gentle hold of Dimitri. I was curled up against his chest, and I was shocked to find that I didn't mind.

"Did I wake you?" he asked quietly. "I can leave if you want me to."

He started to pull away, but I clutched at him, whispering desperately, "No, please, don't go."

He froze, and then relaxed again.

"Strange." he murmured.

"What?" I asked curiously.

"You aren't protesting this for once." I could hear the slight smile on his lips.

I burst into tears.

"Alivia! What's wrong?" Dimitri asked anxiously, taken by surprise.

"I don't deserve this!" I wailed.

"What do you not deserve?" he was confused.

"Your comfort, your loyalty, your love, being held in your arms like you'll never let go as long as danger threatens me. I don't deserve any of it!"

"Of course you do. Why would you not?" he comforted me, which made me cry harder to the point where I was shuddering.

"I've been so difficult during this whole thing! I've only made everything harder!"

"Alivia, listen to me." he arranged us in a way that I was still tight against his chest, but could now see his face, which held a calm expression.

"Do you think I care about that? I don't. I understood that you were angry, and I respected that. Now you must understand that I care about you, Drea and Vera more than my own life, and I would never think badly of you in any way. You are my bride, I love you, and you must never forget that."

I felt that he truly meant it, and I buried my face in his chest. He held me tighter, and a strange feeling swept through me, a kind of warmth. I wanted to stay in his arms, for him to never leave, and this realization shocked me breathless.

I hated Dimitri's guts. Why was I acting this way? Why did I feel this way? I was shocked and frightened that I was suddenly feeling this way.

But what I did next literally scared me.

I looked up at him, not knowing what was in my eyes, and pressed my lips to Dimitri's.

He froze, not anticipating the kiss, but then he kissed me back, but passionately. I answered with even more passion, and that is how we passed the day.

Ooooooohhhhhh
