For The Eternals

Those puppy eyes

Alex pov

I made some calls to gain information about the Nicholas for the whole night. If he was that good, he must be a famous hunters. There must be something I could hear from my fellow vampires about him.

I put down the phone. My informant gave some info that I could use. I would tell my clan later.

~~~~~~~

“The Nicholas she told is one of the leader of the hunters in this area. He is one of the best. He and his team have captured many vampires, werewolves and torture them to gain some information about our kind s.” Henry told us the information he gathered.

We were sitting in the living room at 2 am. Amy was sleeping peacefully in her room, so she won’t hear us.

I made this meeting to decide what we had to do with the situation right now. I liked to get my clan’s opinions before decided anything. So I could have different point of views from them.

“I don’t think that Nicholas wanted Amy because he wants to protect her. He must know that she is our soulmate, so he use her to get to us.” Theo added.

“We don’t know how this Nicholas to our Amy. Maybe he’s a good uncle to her.” Edward said, more like asking.

“Nah.. If he’s that good, our Amy won’t had to sell her blood for money. That bloody hunter had houses everywhere and cars in his garage.” We turned our head to Lucifer. He rarely joined us in the discussion.

“I gathered my information myself” He continued, shrugging.

We continued our discussion.

“So, this Nicholas isn’t good for our Amy. We have to make sure he won’t touch her.” Everyone nodded to my conclusion.

“How if we bring Amy to another place, like to our beach house? Since it’s holiday season now.” Edward suggested.

“Yeah.. Nobody know that place but us.” Theo surely agreed.

The others also agreed. So, we decided to bring Amy to our beach house. She would be safe there.

“Alright. After the sunrise, we talked Amy to pack her bag.”

William smiled a little for a few seconds with distant eyes. He must remembered something, or imagining, I didn’t know. Maybe he even had a vision. I would wait. If it’s important, he would tell us.

“Even we go to the beach house, we should gather more information about the hunters. We still don’t know what’s their plan.” Theo suggested.

Everybody was nodding to his suggestion.

"We should send our guys" Edward gave his plan and we all agreed.

Amy pov

I opened my eyes, and saw my surroundings. I felt familiar with this room. I sat and saw everything was in blue, my favorite color. My bedsheets, the paint on the walls, the frames of pictures, even the curtains. I turned my head to my left and saw a buffet with a frame of picture of my family. My father, my mom, my uncle and 7 years old me. I turned to my right and saw my favorite cat doll, Bìbì. I grabbed it, and inspected it carefully.

This isn’t right. My Bìbì was burnt by that bitch Helena. And my current room was full with violet things, even my bedsheets.

This wasn’t my room in the mansion. This was my room in my childhood house.

Suddenly the door was opened. It was my uncle.

“Already wake up, Amy? Huh.. You always get up before I awake you.”

He sat on my bed and grabbed Bìbì.

“Don’t play with your doll anymore, Amy. You’re grown up now. The girls in your age already play with something else.”

I was sure he smirked, like pointing something in his mind.

“Alright! Get up and clean your self. I’m hungry and you know I’m bad at cooking. I don’t want to burn the kitchen.” He got up and walked to the door.

“Don’t forget my plan, Water Lily!” Then he disappeared behind the door.

I saw my surroundings were started to faded. I blinked a couple of times and saw my current room again. White curtains, violet sheets, violet carpet and white walls.

I could feel my heart beat was getting slower. What’s that? Was it my imagination? Dream? Or something important from my past?

‘Don’t forget my plan, Water Lily!’ His voice was replayed in my mind. What was it?

Suddenly the door was opened. Thanked God, it was Theo, not someone else.

“What’s happened, cupcake? I could hear your heart beat was fast. Did you get a nightmare?” He sat on my bed next to me and touched my cheek.

His touch made me calm and warm. Slowly, my heart beat down to its usual rhythm.

I smiled to him, “I’m okay. Just a nightmare.”

He exhaled hard, “thank God, you’re okay.”

He said earlier that he could hear my heartbeat? I myself couldn’t do that. How strong was this guy’s hearing ability?

“Was my heart beat that hard?”

I asked him wonderingly.

He smirked, “I’m a vampire, cupcake. I have a very good hearing ability. I could hear the sound of rain before it happens.”

“Wow.. That’s..impressive.”

He grinned wide, “surely.” He messed my hair then sat straight.

“I came here to tell you something.”

I waited him to continued. I asked him with my eyes.

“Aw.. You’re so adorable.” He pinched my cheeks. “Do it again!”

I started doing it again. I raised my eyebrows and widened my eyes, didn’t forget to pouted my lips.

Theo laughed funnily. He also pinched my cheeks again.

“Ouch! It hurts!” He let my cheeks go and I rubbed them.

“My cheeks surely will be red now.” I showed him my puppy eyes.

He startled and showed a worry on his face.

“I’m sorry, cupcake. I didn’t mean to hurt you. Did I pinch you too hard?” He tried to wipe my cheeks.

He was so sweet. He surely was genuinely worry about my cheeks.

I stopped his hands. “Maybe they need a kiss to be better.” Still with my puppy eyes.

He stunned. Slowly, he smiled sweetly. He lift his hands and raised my face. Sweetly, he kissed my cheeks one by one to the left and to the right.

“You’re so adorable. Those puppy eyes surely melting my heart.”

I grinned proudly. I was successful to get him wrapped in my fingers.

“Okay.. Back to the business. We were going somewhere, so we could spend the holiday outside.”

“To where? It’s chilly outside. I prefer spend my time near the fire place or somewhere warm.” I wrapped myself with my blanket.

“Don’t worry about that. The place we go will be so warm you don’t need your blanket anymore. In fact, you may need your swimsuit.”

“Swimsuit?”

He nodded. He stood and started to walked to the door.

“Pack your bags for a few days. We’ll be going after breakfast.”

Why we needed to holiday all of the sudden?

Well.. I didn’t left this place for months. Maybe I needed this holiday. We all did, after the incident that happened before. We surely needed a time out.
