Vampire's Bride

On the Run

As I stirred awake I felt kisses softly tap my lips. My eyes fluttered open and I was met by Arthur's ocean green eyes.

"Good morning, beautiful" he kisses me again.

"Good morning, Arthur" my brain begins to function again and I remember last night.

I come flying up to a sitting position "What time is it?"

"Chill Princess, it's only 9 a.m."

I grab my phone and I have over 100+ missed calls, 506 unopened messages, and the only message that caught my eyes was Camille's.

----------

Camille

Elena, Jacob and I managed to hold off the guards from searching for you but they'll be up bright in the morning looking for you!

Father thinks Arthur took you last night so when you get ready to come home make sure any traces of you come back here and don't bring any traces of Arthur back here!

Elena father plans to storm Rolumpus at 10am sharp be home by then so we can play it off like he didn't take you

----------

Well at least they managed to slow the hunt so I'm able to stay here till they storm the land.

I turn my screen off "Dear god."

He chuckles "Elena, everything will be fine."

"My father thinks it was you"

"I'm a grown man Elena, I got this" he smiles shifting onto his back "What does that make you?" he puts his hands behind his head and crosses his feet "A elegant damsel."

I giggled softly "I want to test that theory."

His eyes drifted from mine, to the ceiling, then back to me "Really?"

I went back to a lying position, resting my hand on his chest, and planting a kiss on his lips "Yes."

His right hand moved from his head to my cheek. He looked at my brown eyes and smiled crookedly. My lips trailed to his lips as my cheeks flushed in affection.

I pull away looking at his lips then at his eyes still closed from our kiss "Are you sure everything will be okay?"

He spoke with his eyes still closed and his hand resting on his torso "Yes Elena, my only priority is your safety and getting you out of here before he storms Rolumpus."

I roll my eyes, kissing him again "Whatever."

He chuckles, opening his eyes to reveal teal soft eyes "Elena please let me be the one to take care of you, not the other way around" his voice was a soft whisper.

"Fine" I rested my head on his chest.

A soft, steady beat followed in his heart. Listening to it released phenethylamine and of course increasing my focus and causing me to feel in love.

He's wearing gray joggers and a black T-shirt. He rested his left hand in my hair and his right hand on the left side of my torso. I laid there in his arms for what felt like 10 minutes but was truly and hurtfully 40 minutes.

The bedroom doors swing open and General David walks in. Arthur and I both rise to sitting positions. David is wearing a white military uniform and his dark brown hair is slicked back. His eyes were red and panicked. He closes the bedroom door and turns to us.

His eyes go wide in fear "King Miguel is raiding Rolumpus-"

Arthur puts his hand up to stop him "I know" he said in a calm and ready voice.
