A Night To Remember

Chapter 15

The feeling I felt right now was all fear. Fear of death, fear for the truth, fear of being betrayed and fear to trust again.
I felt all of these because of him. I thought about the times when he sneaks into my room feeling so confident. Even though I felt scared but a part of me was relief that he'd shown up, from that short moments we had I felt happy, safe and with that I am starting to trust him but all those happy thoughts vanished in an instant as I remembered the situation I am in right now, being tied up and helpless.

Zire looked at me regretfully but I only gave him a glare.

"Flame, I am so sorry that I tied you up, It hurts me more seeing you like this, seeing you scared because of me" Zire said, his voice raspy and weak.

"Please just trust me on this. I know one day you will be thankful of me that I tied you." He moves closer to me and touched my cheek with his rough and cold hand.

"Why? Why did you really tied me up? I thought we're okay already. I started to forgive you from what you've done to me Zire but why did you do this again?" I half yelled at him.
"If you just wanted my blood then why didn't you get it from that night? Is this one of your tactics, to make me fall for you and them kill me at the end?... Answer me Zire?" I tried to make my voice strong but it just cracked.
Zire's face turns confused. He shakes his head and looked at me with knitted brows.

"Flame! What are you talking about?" Zire asked, confused.

"Ohh, stop denying, stop acting Zire.. I already knew what do you want from me. I already knew why you marked me... B-because of my blood, right? You marked me because of my blood. You will get my blood in order for you to become more powerful." I shout at him. He continued looking at me with a confused face. Then so sudden, his curious face turned to panicked.

"No!Fuck! Flame! Shittt....Listen to me carefully okay! Damn! How will I say this" He paused for a while then touched my tied hand.

"Flame! We have a misunderstanding here, okay!" He said with a sigh.

"I didn't mark you because of your blood. Damn with that powers Flame. I don't need it. I have other reason why I tied you and I-I marked you because you're my ---"

What he said next was a blur. My headache came back. This time it is much painful. Zire stares at me, looks of pure worry and guilt plastered on his face.
I gave him a pleading look but he didn't release me from the ties. What happened to me? I am feeling hot, all parts of my body are in pain. Tears pour down my face in an uncontrollable manner. I am trying to breathe , but my lungs are tightening inside of me. The world around me blurs.
I am in so much pain,god it hurts.

"Zire, please help me!" My voice croaked.

"Flame, I am so-sorry, I can't do anything to make it stop" He said guiltily.

I tried to open my mouth to ask him more questions but there are no words coming out. I just stared at him with a painful expression.

ZIRE

I am feeling so useless. I can't do anything to make her sufferings stop. It hurts to see her screaming in pain, if only I can help, if only I knew how to get her pain away then I will do everything. I would risk everything, even my life. I looked at her tied hands. A flash of hurt envelopes me. I know she's so disappointed at me that I tied her but I don't have any choice if I wouldn't do it she might hurt herself even more or worst she might kill herself. Many vampires died during their transition or should I say killed themselves because they think dying is a better solution to stop the pain.

"Flame, You can do it, you're strong!" I whispered at her.

"Stay with me! Don't give up..please... It won't take too long Flame.. the pain will be gone any minute by now, just..please..be strong....." I said while kissing his forehead.
