Bitten Lust

Pt. 2

     I heard the loud crack then felt the small girl's body go limp underneath me, I knew I should've saved her, but too much had been seen. She saw me kill her family and I knew if I hadn't killed her she would've run to tell and gotten us all killed, but why the hell did I car anyway. Not like two of the three could actually have feelings.
     I felt broad hands on my shoulders, slowly tugging me off the lifeless girls body.
    Sitting beside her, looking at her small face I wanted to cry. I let the darkness overcome me, but it wasn't my fault, right? I mean I was already born of darkness, though not as bad as my "mate" and then changed by a Darkblood, it wasn't my fault right?
     "Kellin, babygirl? I'm sorry, I know you didn't mean it.  Okay, baby? Come on, let's get up" I heard Elijah's voice float through the haze covering my mind yet again.
I stumbled to my feet with the help of Elijah and as I looked around the fog clogging my mind started to evaporate, everything was registering and as I looked around at the lifeless bodies of children, innocent fucking children, I couldn't stop myself from throwing up.
I turned around so I couldn't see the bodies and no one could see my face as I threw my guts up.
I felt someone's hand rub small circles on my back for what seemed liked forever until I knew my stomach co rained nothing. It was disgusting, throwing up nothing but stomach acid and blood.
I looked up and saw Savannah with a shirt in her hand. She brought it up to my face and wiped at it gently.
I could feel the tears welling in my eyes when Colton cleared his throat loudly and said "Elijah is staging this all to look like some crazy burglary gone wrong and we-" he gestured towards himself and us are going to hear Eli out and listen to his tale, after all it's been atleast three decades since he's even mentioned the council since the leader told him to never ask anything of them because of their past."
I looked at him in absolute horror. He wasn't the least bit dazed by this! He and Elijah were going with this like nothing happened, like I hadn't snapped and killed an entire family!
I felt my palms start to itch and cold see tendrils starting to form around my wrists, they were mad too.
When I looked back up Elijah was just inches from my face, he reached out and cupped my chin with his large hand, I felt my body instantly relax to his touch, I sighed loudly as he smiled lightly at me and started to speak.
But what he said took me by surprise.

"My beautiful little flower, Kellin..if you truly believe you are a monster you're wrong. You may have messed up, but after all you are a newborn and one wielding the power of darkness at that. So, no..some of us have done worse, but it doesn't mean we meant them because sometimes we don't think straight, okay?"
He was making me feel better, I felt the corners of my mouth twitch wanting to turn up into a smile, but I wouldn't let them. He had a catch to that, I knew he was talking about himself in a way too.
I reached up and placed my hand over his, feeling the warmth of his once icey skin.
I fell in love with a monster, but that monster fell in love with a monster as well.
I knew he had read my mind because I had focused on letting him, he needed to hear that.
I saw hurt flash across his face, but was soon replaced with admiration and perhaps love.
He looked around at Colton, Savannah, then at me I nodded and he motioned for us to all sit and we did. Sitting in the middle of that field I didn't feel weird or crazy I was to focused on preparing myself to hear the rest of his story.
He looked at his hand in his lap and then back at me and began;

"The head of the council's daughter, Aubrey Rose Lykin was infatuated with me and to make it worse she became even more when she found we were to be a secret, well as live heard already, I was changed at 18, she was 19 at the time. She wasn't changed yet, her father was waiting until she was 21, wanting her to age, live more of her life, but I took that away from her-" he sighed then continued. "She was there when I was changed, Colton was not he was off in seclusion because he had been changed not even months earlier, he at the age of 20. So when the transformation was complete they left me in the hospital wing of our castle and as I woke up the scent of chocolate and lavender filled my senses. I couldn't get away from it, as I turned over o look around I saw her, she was sitting in a windowsill and reading a book. As I moved to get out of bed she looked up and our eyes connected, that's when I discovered my gift. All her thoughts flooded into my mind. They were of me, how she loved me, she was going to change sooner for me, how she was going to let me feed from her until she could convict her father to have her changed. She ran into my arms, hugging me tightly. He smell hitting me like a freight train. My throat was burning like hell. I couldn't stop myself. I kept hearing her thoughts and mine, and parts of others. I couldn't stop myself, she was there, willing-" he looked at me with what looked like grief in his eyes then began again. "I killed her. I drank from her until every ounce of blood inter was gone. And afterwards I killed our entire staff of 7 vampires and 68 humans. Draining every last human, I truly was a monster. The council shunned me, I was in hiding for a century before I started to get back into our world, it was difficult, but I've gained a name for myself. I am the Elijah Winston, throne the council hates and the rest adore. Quite a title in my opinion, but I would hate someone to if they killed my only child and the daughter of the I was in love with human with that died giving birth to her. I took down thing so pressing to him and for that he won't stop until he gets revenge or he or I am dead."
I watched Elijah's face intently when he finished, he seemed genuinely upset.
I looked up as Colton was helping Savannah up, jeez aimed that they were going for a walk to give us some privacy.
I looked at Elijah then the ground. I felt his large arms wrap around my small frame and pull me close.
He mumbled something into my hair that I couldn't hear the pulled back to look at me.
I watched his dark brown almost lackeys intently then he said "I maybe a Darkblood, but I do believe I actually love you. You may not believe me, but I know I've never felt this way before and that's saying something especially since I'm not supposed to feel." his last words followed up with a light kiss on my lips.
I was about to listen to my body and deepen the kiss when the graceful voice in my mind spoke saying "You love him and people only love what can destroy them."
