A Thousand Years 》

chapter 28

[ : Six months later : ]

"Where have you been all day?" Arthit asked me, as I walked in with shivery steps

His eyes stayed on my shivering body for a minute or two before he held me securely in his arms and I, immediately gave in

He kissed my head softly and I snuggled deeper in his chest, I hated myself but I also knew that this was the only way to set myself free, apart from that gut wrenching gilt

"What did you do, honey?" Arthit asked, he wasn't reading my mind, he wanted me to tell him

How could I? How was I to tell him about the terrible thing I had done, that is why I wanted her to come with me, but she told me that I had to do it myself

"I..I killed him, arthit" I whispered

"It's okay darling, he deserved it" arthit replied, pulling me closer

I nodded against his chest, feeling delighted that he agreed with me, he wasn't disgusted by me and he still wanted me

"I would always want you, baby" arthit replied to my thoughts

I placed a long kiss on the side of his neck, and hid myself in him again and he kept me warm in his embrace

"Jennie, was with me" I informed

"Where is she, now?" Arthit asked

"She told that she'd be home soon, that I had to tell you myself and I would need time" I replied

"And how did she help you?" Arthit asked, stroking my hair gently

"She was my shield, you know how she blocks her mind, nobody can do anything to her, she kept me in her shield and then Anthony couldn't play with my head" I explained, feeling thankful to her

"How..did you kill him? You have never asked me of how vampires can be killed, sweetie" arthit replied

I knew why he was using those nicknames, he was angry, he did understand me but he also didn't want me to take this step and yet he couldn't actually oppose me

He was trying to maintain his calm and not scare me by using those nicknames, living with him for nearly an year now, I could see through him even without reading his mind

"The fire, Jennie had told me" I mumbled weakly

Arthit let out a sigh, pushing me just a bit away, enough to look down at my face with his hands still wrapped around me

"Love, are you okay?" Arthit asked, genuinely

"I will be, but arthit I.. I feel better, he deserved it, right?" I asked back, wanting his agreement

"He did, it's you who doesn't deserve to be a murderer" arthit whispered the last part but I caught it

"Am I not the same in your eyes anymore?" I asked, looking up at him

He held my face in between his hands, caressing my cheeks ever so softly that I leaned into his touch, wanting more of it

"You, are the bravest person I know, the thing you did today and the thing you have been going through, all of that, requires courage" He replied

I bit my lower lip at his words, as if to prevent myself from crying even when I knew it wasn't physically possible

Arthit let out a sigh, he forced it out and it sounded more of a sigh of relief, what was he relieved about?

"Well we can't dwell over what's done, but there is an interesting part to it...." his voice trailled off and a mischievous grin spread on his face

I raised an eyebrow at him, not understanding what he meant as he pulled me over to the couch, forcing me to sit and then sitting down right in front of me

"Close your eyes, remember each and every thing you did and talked, I want to see everything" arthit suggested

"Am I a television?" I asked, dumbfounded

Arthit pouted, and trust me when I say that it was dangerous, I hated how he had learned this from me, it was more than just dangerous, you couldn't deny him even if he asked for a kidney with that face

"Alright, don't give me that face" I replied

"Now, remember it all, honey" arthit grinned

I purple you 💜
