My Vampire {REWRITTEN}

Chapter Seventeen: The Truth

Silvers POV

It's been some time since I've seen Mephiles, he's been avoiding me at all cost and I don't know how to fix it, every time I try to talk to him he ignores me and locks himself away in his room. It's getting closer to the end of fall into winter, his hybernation will kick in before we could finish the war but more specifically stopping it. "...Ugh!" I sighed laying in my bed disappointed, "what's wrong with you?" Blaze asked walking into the room drinking a blood bag, "Mephiles..." I groaned into my pillow, knowing what she'd say. "Give up." 

I sat up in my bed seeing her just staring at me, "Blaze... When we retrieved Mephiles Chaos crystal along with that other one, what have you been doing with that extra crystal?" I asked awkwardly, ever since I said I wanted to give Mephiles his back she hasn't spoke a word about the other one and recently she's been leaving the mansion more. "...I'm working on something." Blaze said gazing off toward the window, I stared into her eyes noticing this certain gleam in them like she was longing for something or someone.

"About Mephiles, I saw him wandering off into the gardens alone." Blaze changed the subject, "wait- alone?!" I hurried out of bed grabbing his crystal again putting it into my pocket before running past her, "wait where you going?" Blaze asked watching me run down the hall, "he can't be alone right now!" I yelled back hurrying to the garden. Everyone stared at me surprised for running around the halls, "Silver I got-" Anytime anyone tried talking to me I just passed them so I could be by his side or at least keep an eye on him!

I didn't want him to be alone. 

I remember when I first met Mephiles, I was on the battlefield ready to die beside my comrades but then he suddenly appeared, he was only wearing a brown ripped up cape that barely covered his nude body. I was awestruck by his beauty when I saw him, the blood that covered his mouth and chin and the red blood shot eyes that stared down at me as I was slowly bleeding out. "Do you want to live?" He asked repulsed by my appearance, I was at deaths door, I tried to save one of my friends and got a caught by grenade that blew half of my body off yet I was still alive, my intestines falling out from my side and stomach. "..." I coughed trying to speak, I didn't look away from him because I felt like once I did he'd just disappear like a hallucination someone would get before they died. 

I was always so curious on why he turned me, what did he have in mind? What did he think of me when he saw me dying there? Some reason, I remember when exactly when he turned me, the time and day, how it was raining non-stop and the smell of copper that drowned out all my senses. "Mephiles!" I called out his name as I searched the garden, I heard a faint gasp which startled me into action quickly going around this huge rose bush to find Mephiles lying there. "Mephiles!" I hurried to his side trying to sit him up but he swung his arm out smacking me across the face. "Don't touch me!" He growled getting up, I sat there a bit defeated.. 

Why can't he forgive me? I keep trying to fix everything but he never listens! I hate... "No, don't fall for it..." I heard a faint voice that sounded like Mephiles in my head, It snapped me out of my frusteration I quickly lifted my head up and yelled out. "Mephiles- I'm sorry!" I looked up at him, it was a familiar figure it's as if I haven't seen him in ages. Mephiles turned on his heel to look at me giving me the same expression he gave to me on that day.. "I didn't.. I didn't mean to just run off! I just didn't want to see anyone die anymore. I wanted to stop this war-" Memories of when I was alive flooded in my head, I haven't remembered anything when I was human so I felt uneasy, the memories of the gunshots the screams and the smell of copper terrified me.

"Do you remember what happened?" Mephiles interrupted me, I gulped noticing the rage building up, "do you remember when Sonic or whoever was there and slaughtered those children who never asked to be turned? For those people who never drank blood that wasn't donated?" Mephiles grabbed the collar of my shirt yanking me up to my feet, "or does it not matter because only three people can find peace now over a lover?!" I bit my lip, I wanted to say something but I knew I couldn't say anything, I already knew Mephiles has never experienced love.
