A Thousand Years 》

chapter 25

I felt pain all over my body, it was as if I had broken hundred bones all together, at one time, with so much effort I managed to push my eyes open

I was laying on the bed in arthit's place, I was back safe and sound, the soreness had to be the after effect, I looked over to find arthit or Jennie but they weren't beside me

With a lot more efforts and difficulty I sat up straight, my skin was burning and I finally spotted them, arthit sat on the floor, his head hung low while Jennie was kneeling down beside him, patting his back softly

"Arthit?" I called

I saw how his face was panic striken and he made no move to come towards me and it was Jennie instead, who rushed up to me

"How are you feeling?" Jennie asked

"Sore, that is all" I replied

Something had gone wrong, their faces and the atmosphere of the room made that obvious to me, and I wanted to know until I took a better look at arthit's face

It was the same way I had seen him in his memories, arthits lips were covered with blood, had he bitten me again?

I turned to face Jennie and looked into her eyes and something weird happened, I could hear her talking but her lips never moved, it was like a faint whisper only in my ears

It was for the better good kong, please don't misunderstand him

"What was, for the better good?" I asked, out aloud

I saw how jennie's eyes widened and arthit finally looked up at me, surprised and shocked and scared, all together

I looked from Jennie to arthit and then arthit to Jennie, the air around us was thickening every passing second and I was getting impatient

"What on earth is wrong?" I yelled, loosing my patience

I had banged my hands on the middle of the bed with all my strength which I knew wasn't much, to show off my anger but the result made me back away

The bed cracked, it fucking cracked and I had no idea how, Jennie gasped while arthit had no expression at all and I immediately got off the bed

My eyes were wide in horror and confusion, what was going on?

"Ho..I.. " I couldn't form proper sentences at this point

Jennie parted her lips to reply but fell quiet when arthit stood up, not looking at anything in particular and mumbled in a small voice

"You, are a vampire now"

The world had stopped and so had my breathing, literally, I didn't have to breath and I suddenly missed it, so I took in a deep breath

"Wh.." my voice trailled off yet again

"When we tried to bring you back, you were very deep in, I had warned you earlier that you being a human won't have enough strength to go through this, to bring you back alive, we had to.." Jennie explained, wanting it all to make sense

"To bring me back alive you had to turn me into a living dead?" I yelled at the top of my voice

I noticed that arthit was hurt by my choice of words but I was in too deep of a shock to worry about that at the moment

"I'm sorry.." arthit whispered

I ran a hand through my hair when something struck my hand and I immediately rushed to the mirror, my eyes, they were honey coloured

"There's got to be something to reverse this" I pleaded

"Kong" Jennie called

I didn't want to listen and so I kept blabbering

"Kongpob!" Jennie yelled and I fell quiet

Arthit held her hand, asking her to calm down and she immediately did

"When you first learned that arthit was a vampire, who was it who decided to continue your relationship?" Jennie asked

"Me" I replied shortly

"You very well knew that this day had to come, sooner or later, you could never stay with arthit as a human" Jennie explained

I fell quiet, she was right, I knew she was right that I had expected such a day to come, it was bound to happen if I had decided to stay with him, but it wasn't an easy consequence

"What about my mother?" Kongpob asked

"We will figure it out, for now you can pretend like him" Jennie replied, forwarding a box towards me

I grabbed it with furrowed eyebrows and found brown coloured contact in there, oh right, my eyes had changed colour

Arthit hadn't spoken up to me, was he guilty? Angry at my reaction? His face reflected nothing

I walked over to him and he slightly stepped back, I reached over to grab his hand and place them on my waist, wrapping my own around his neck

Arthit hesitantly looked into my eyes and he shut his eyes close until I lay my head on his chest, he was way taller after all

"Why can't I still read your mind?" I asked softly

"Maybe it's got something to do with how I can only read your mind" Arthit replied

"So you are the only one whose mind I can't read?" I asked back

Arthit nodded in response, it sucked, what good was this power, if I couldn't read his mind?

"Arthit" I called

He stared down at me, in my eyes and I attached our lips rather immediately, he relaxed just a little bit, it was as if he was afraid I would leave him

Where on earth will I now go without you?

Arthit slightly chuckled at my thought as I rested my forehead against his

"We will figure it out, won't we?" I asked

"We will, love" arthit replied

I purple you 💜
