Bound by Fate: Love And Desire

I Accept You

POV of Abraxas

"Ignorant fucking girl. What the hell does she know? She doesn't understand anything in this world! She isn't even a real vampire yet!" I hollered as I paced my room. My door open and I stopped moving as I faced my back to the door. "Lilith. What the hell do you want?" I growled in annoyance. "I want your attention for once." she said and I turned to look at her. "No more guarding me. I want you to act like the brother you are!" she pleaded to me. I sighed quietly "I don't know what I'm doing anymore..." I whispered. "Start by talking to me. What do you feel?" She asked me and emotions flooded me. I knew she was using her power to get people to tell her things but at the time I really didn't care.

I sat on the edge of my bed and ran my fingers through my hair. "I feel... So many things. I feel like I could break a wall down. I feel like I could rip Tony to shreds and I feel like I should... I should hold her. I feel like I should be explaining everything to her but I can't until Father gives us the okay. I hate, I'm angered and... I feel so much regret." I whispered feeling my heart go out in every word I said.

"Why do you regret?" Lilith asked. "I hit her... And I felt the electricity, so I hit her harder than I meant to. She smelt like a witch but she also wreaked of Tony. It angered me inside and I insulted her. She hates me and it's making me hate myself." I said quietly. "Good. Now go tell her that." she said and left me alone in my dark, old room. I looked around at the dark blue colored walls and dark wood dresser. The black wardrobe and the Acadia wood night stand. My old room that I left behind a few years ago to become a lowly bounty hunter.

I sulked for a few moments but made a decision in them. I had to tell her. No matter how she thinks of me I have to tell her everything.

I followed her scent of chocolate and metal down a hall of darkness. Only a small light flickered in one room where her scent was the strongest. I knocked softly on the door, only to receive no answer. I hesitated before opening the door and stepping in. I looked around the dim candle lit room. It was a decent size with stone walls and a queen bed on a metal frame. Her vanity was made of dark oak that held the candle on a peg. "Melissa?" I asked softly, looking to a door with a light on side. "What?" she growled out. "I need to speak with you." I said quietly trying to lure her out.

Seconds passed and the bathroom door swung open. Her long hair was wet and slung over one shoulder. She was in a tank top and long baggy pj pants. "What do you want Abraxas?" she said slightly annoyed to me. "There's somethings I need to tell you." I said dropping my poker face for once.

POV Melissa

I stared into his eyes hoping to find something of a joke in him. But the seriousness and concern he held never faltered. "O-okay... Start talking." I said and he started. "I'm sorry I hit you today, for starters. I didn't know you were... I didn't know you were who you are. I judged your smell and it ticked me off. I acted out of spite, I'm sorry. But I also have to tell you..." and he went on a long spiel about how he really felt toward me.

"There's also some other family things you should probably know." he said, this peeked my interest. "Okay?" I asked. "You think I'm the adopted one right? Well that's a lie. Tony was actually adopted, all those things I said about my parents dying were actually things that happened to his parents. My parents are the ones out there. I acted like that to protect him from those things. Because I knew he would grow up strong and spiteful. I pretend to lose our fights and I pretend to hate everyone. I left the castle because I hated having to do it. I hit you because he knew that's what I would've done. Again really sorry about that..." he spoke fast so I had to keep up with every word. "So it was all an act? None of that... was actually you?" I asked. "No! No! None of it was me. I hate hitting people, I love running outside. I love spending time with my family, I love reading and learning new things. If I could I would spend my life in a kitchen so I could eat food and make it myself." he said with a laugh that made my heart flutter.
