Myths And Legends

Chapter 14- Eight legged

Jack's POV:

I open my eyes to see the sun shining through the window of the barn onto the hay barrels by the corner. I look down at the sleeping woman in my arms, the one I killed only under twenty four hours ago that came back to live with help from the moon.

The girl that I feel in love with...the girl I kissed last night.
    
Her deep blue, purple, black and grey hair and the beautiful night eyes.

She grips on my shirt tightens a bit and she sighs, her breath warms my cold chest.

How did I get so lucky?

How did I find a girl so beautiful and kind?

How is it possible that she loves me?
    
My thoughts get cut short as she moves her head to press more against my chest. Her eye lids flutter open then close almost immediately.

Her hands moves to lay at the bottom of my neck, her warm hands fill my skin with warmth as I slowly put my hand on hers.
    
Her eyes slowly open and looks at her hand, I close my eyes and pretend to sleep. I feel her lips curve into a smile and her hand move back down to my chest with my hand still on it.

Her lips kiss my hand and she lays her head at the crock of my neck. She closes her eyes and sighs a happy sigh.
     
"Morning" I say in a quiet voice obviously surprising her.

"Did I wake you?" She asks as she lifts her head to look in my eyes. Her midnight eyes look deep into my golden eyes.
     
I shake my head, "no" I say in a calm voice as I lean down to kiss her forehead "I was already awake"

I pull her closer into my arms and her head rests once again on my shoulder.
    
"I thought you were asleep...with your heart beat being a slow rhythm" she says as her eyes close once more.
    
"Bella...I am a vampire...I can control my heart beat" I say with a laugh "and I am also calm when your in my arms..."

Her cheeks go red when she feels embarrassed and fluttered.

It's so cute.
    
"You need to teach me then" she says as she starts playing with the little chest hair that I have that is more paler then my skin.
    
"To be a vampire?" I ask with a small laugh.

"To control my breathing" she replies with a laugh "so I can trick creatures into thinking I am asleep or even dead..."
    
"Dead? Why would you need to pretend to be dead?" I ask her with a bit of worry in my voice.
    
"Yea...so they will leave me and not take me..." she replies unsure about her answer "it's stupid...don't worry about it" she digs her head further into my neck and sighs.
    
"It's not stupid" I say in a calm voice, she tilts her head to show that she's listening so I continue "acting dead would be very useful in these times...especially for you"
     
"Is that meant to be a complaint? I should know how to act dead?" She asks me sitting up on my lap and looking at me.
    
"Yea...the vampires tried to kill you...I don't know why tho" those words actually make me think.

Why did the vampires what her dead?

Doesn't the Dark Cyclops need her alive?

To find the Mage of Light?
    
"Aren't the Vampires with the Dark Cyclops? Don't they need me to find something?" She asks saying the questions that were in my head.
    
"Yea...why do they want you dead?" I say to myself, if they do want her dead...then they will be coming after her.

We need to get to this safe house.

"We should go" I say shifting my body so that she is sitting on the blanket and I have room to stand up.
     
"Right...we can't go to the pack..." she says looking down at the hay covered floor.
