I don’t know how he found out, but he has. I never meant for him to know. He wants to see me. Maybe this won’t be as bad as I am expecting. Maybe he will banish me. Let’s just face the music.
I push the heavy wooden door to the garden, lifting my dress as I slide through the opening.
He‘s there.
I could have almost forgotten why I was here for a moment. His silver hair is falling over his bare chiselled torso like a waterfall. His beautiful pale face is calm, deep in thought. He’s hunched slightly, arms relaxed, making him seem solemn and harmless. He could be sculpted of stone and no one would know any different. The marble bench he’s sat on, surrounded by roses he had planted for me, holds many fond memories. Maybe his love for me is stronger than I thought.
I step closer, making him glance up. His eyes. Black. This is bad. I don’t back away and I fight the urge to bare my teeth. My heart sinks as I realise the love we had once shared was gone. A rouge tear rolls down my cheek.
He stands slowly. Unusual for him, he’s always in a rush to get everything done. He takes a moment. I open my mouth to speak but before I can say anything he hisses and bares his fangs.
I know he’s going to lunge and I deserve it. This is my fault and it has to be made right so peace can be kept. I will cherish every moment we have had together. He is already forgiven, if I am allowed to forgive after what I have done.
He moves with incredible speed to meet me, holds my cheek as he always had and I lean into it. He looks me in the eyes empty but conflicted. Then a flash of rage takes over his expression furrowing his brow. He tilts my head to the side and leans in one swift movement.
As his teeth and lips meet my neck I whisper “I love you”.
