Vampire Academy: Vampire Mistress

Chapter 8 - Souls in the Sky

I wake up early in the morning to find Stella wrapped up next to me. My body fitting perfectly into hers.
Classes don't start until 9 o'clock today.
The sun clock reads that it is only 5:25 in the morning. I lay still trying not to wake Stella. But, she stirs awake anyway.
"Good morning, the dawn looks beautiful doesn't it?" She whispers.
I lay facing the window, I gaze out and the sky is exploding with beautiful colours. All tangled and intermingled. The first layer is a vibrant red. Red like the blood of mortals. Next it fades into a subdued orange. Very light and fluffy. The orange  gives way to a light yellow.
The yellow blends with a pinkish colour, giving way to purple the rest of the way up, considering it is still fairly early. Stella kisses the back of my neck and cuddles close to me. Her chin resting on my shoulder and her arms wrapped around my body.
"Should we skip today?" Stella says, and I can't tell if she's joking or being serious.
"You know Ms. Kaitlin will have both our heads if we do." I say.
"Ah, but that is were thee are wrong." Stella says.
"What doth thee mean?" I question.
"Don't play coy my love." Stella teases.
"I'm not, I honestly don't know what thee means." I confirm.
Stella sits up and smiles at me.
"I told Ms. Kaitlin about us." She says.
"What?!" I nearly shout, bolting up right in bed.
"Calm thyself. Ms. Kaitlin is understand and very accepting. She's know this about me, it's not that hard to tell thee know. I just deny any and all claims. Hark, even my older siblings know. And I am sure my ghastly mother knows just as so." Stella explains to me, in a very unnervingly calm voice.
"Why are we slipping today then?" I ask.
"Ms. Kaitlin told me to, she wanted me to spend the day with thee, because she knows that it's difficult not being able to show affection to thy loved one. And, between us...Ms. Kaitlin is also a lesbian." Stella whispers to me.
"What? Really?" I ask with enthusiasm.
Stella makes a popping sound with her lips and nods her head, "100% honest. I swear to Mother Darkness." Stella says, placing her hand across her undead beating heart.
I smile.
"Thee are so weird." I scrunch my nose and wink at her.
She smiles at me.
"I mean, Mother Darkness is our Goddess, the Goddess of all vampires, and there are multiple gods within vampire folklore, love." She explains to me.
"That's true, I have seen Mother Darkness referred multiple times."
Hey, an actual fact I remembered about vampires.
"Oi, what if Rosemary were to find out?" I ask, worried about that circumstance.
"See, you quote that "IF" she found out. Most likely, I will not allow her to find out, and anyway, I already told the lassies know of what is happening today." Stella says.
"You told Lilith, Erica and Jasmine?" I question.
"Yes, they will keep her and the fox trio occupied while we have our outing." Stella says, leaning over and kissing me softly. Her hand touching my cheek in a gingerly manner.
My undead heart melts.
I breathe in deep and smile under the kiss.
Is this what true love feels like?
I look into her icy eyes and feel safe.
Her eyes search me. Her hand falls into mine and I grasp it. Holding hands, still looking deeply into one another's eyes. I slowly take my gaze toward her lips. I lean in again and kiss her. Her free hand touches my cheek, and mine upon her shoulder.
"I love you Stella." I whisper in her ear, as I rest my head on her shoulder.
"And I you, my precious." She whispers back.
"Come on, we should get going, my love." She says, slowly releasing me.
I sigh, "you're right." I whine in dismay.
"Hey, we are gonna have a good time!" Stella says happily.
I smile at her enthusiasm.
---
It only took me 10 minutes to get ready and we are now trekking through the woods.
"Just a bit longer, we are almost there." She says, as she leads the way. Her hand in mine, dragging me along.
"You said that two times already." I moan in displeasure.
"Well, this time I mean it."
As Stella utters the words, the path opens up to a beautiful meadow. The grass long and tall swaying slowly back in fourth in the cool October air. Wild flowers of all different colours line the path. A few feet back in the meadow is a gigantic, old Oak tree. It's leaves bursting with colour.
We walk through the towering grass that come up to shoulder length.
She takes my hand and leads me through the grass.
Once we make it to the big Oak Tree the grass flattens out and isn't as tall.
We stand at the edge of a cliff looking down a mountainside. It's so breathtakingly beautiful. The peaks of the mountains are snow covered and through the snow you can see winter flowers sprouting. A waterfall tumbling and floating down the two biggest peaks, reaching down into a stream down at the bottom.
"It's so beautiful." I whisper to Stella, who has her hand still intwined in mine.
"I know it's beautiful. It's amazingly stunning. But, nothing will capture my eye, unlike you have." She says in a very poetic manner.
My undead heart flutters and I nearly lose myself.
I shift my gaze and body away from the majestic sight and turn toward my love.
She stands about 6 inches over me so I have to slightly tilt my head upwards to make eye contact when standing.
Again, our eyes lock and we stare deeply into each other's eyes.
Before long, Stella's lips are planted unto mine. Stella falls on to the ground and is cushioned by the soft grass.
I lay up top her lovely body. My hand upon her jawline.
While her hands graze my hips and waist. I bite her lip and draw blood for it. Her blood is the sweetest thing I have tasted. Sweeter than milk and honey.
I move the kiss to her neck. She lets out a gasp, and then grunts in pleasure.
I suck and lick her neck, but I don't bite. Not yet.
She places her hands on my shoulder and then slowly feels down my body.
I can sense her excitement.
This would be the ideal place to have her right now. But, yet, it's not. She deserves a bed, she is a queen.
I feel the side of her mouth turn up into a taunting smirk.
"So you want me?" She says in a teasing voice. I stop kissing her neck and sit up on top of her. My hands in hers.
"So you read my mind again?" I hiss at her playfully.
Her cheeks turn a very light shade of pink. To signify she is blushing.
Her smirk still glued to her beautiful, smug face.
"What if I told you, that I wanted you, all of you." She says, while her eyes search my body, and then look into my eyes. A chill is sent down my spine. I breathe deep and the lean down and kiss her. I climb off of her and lay next to her in the grass. My head resting upon her shoulder and her hand in mine. The sky is clear. Before we left, Stella had me apply this some type of ointment to protect from the sun.
We looked up into the sky, the bright colours slowly turning into a tealish blue colour. The clouds dance through the sky, creating shapes and odd formations.
Stella points with her free-hand.
"Look, that one looks kind of like a bat." She tells me.
I follow where her finger is pointing and see the cloud.
"It does look like a bat!" I chuckle.
We lay there for hours, gazing up at the sky and the clouds, finding shapes, listening to bird calls. It's such a peaceful thing. I could spend all my life like this. Laying here with my love and just getting lost in a world where nothing can harm us.

I walk up to find the day slowly shifting into the late afternoon sky. Stella and I must have fallen asleep whilst looking at the clouds forming shapes. My head lays upon Stella's chest, her arms are wrapped around me. I can feel her steady inhale and exhale as she naps.
My undead heart swells with so much love.
The crushing reality sets in..I've found someone that I zing with.
My soul or immortal soul intertwines with Stella's, and I know she feels the same way as I. But, this love feels short. My subconscious is telling me something will happen...something horrid...something, costly. I don't know what, but. I just feel it with no explicit explanation. My heart as much as it swelled with love, at that same instant, it corrodes in the pit of my stomach, the acid eating its flesh, the pain in my chest battles with the pain of love.
"What's wrong my love?" Stella asks effortlessly, not even opening her eyes.
I remain silent.
"Roxie. I know something is wrong, your energy has shifted and the atmosphere has shifted. Tell me honey bat, what is the matter?" She pushes.
I sigh deep.
"My intuition is telling me something horrific is coming and I don't know what, but I feel it." I say softly.
"As much as I love you, I feel like something is going to happen, and I can't stop it." I continue, holding back salty tears of remorse.
"Hey, shh..it's okay my dear." She sits up holding me in her arms as I silently sob to myself. My tears landing upon her chest.
She rubs my back and holds me in her arms.
"I have never felt so strongly towards another, it's different, it feels wrong, but I love it, you're like arsenic, and I'm slowly dying for you." I say, fighting tears and wobbly voice.
"You feel the zing don't you?" Stella says calmly, soothing me in her arms.
Her words only make my tears fall harder.
"I do. Like lighting." I say quietly.
She hugs me tighter.
Kissing my cheek, softly.
"I do too." She whispers.
I look up into her vibrant eyes, the glisten and sparkle as she looks at me.
"I may have loved, but never like this. I've felt a zing for you." She says softly, such like a whisper.
"You're the only thing I care about out here, and I want to protect you at all costs. The first day I meet you, I felt a spark in my chest, something driving me. I saw the flash in your eyes when you glanced me over. It was an instant connection as our immortal souls intertwined together and at that moment, out universes collided to make what we have now, the gods and goddesses gave us our chance, despite how wrong it may look in the eyes of most of not all our peers. They wanted us to defy the odds of love. They wanted us to be together. Through all the trials and errors of immortal life." She says, her voice full of commitment and honesty. I look up at her and she caresses my cheek, then kisses me lightly on the lips. Hers brushing over mine so softly I could barely feel it. But I know it was there.
"You're so passionate and poetic, Stella." I whisper. Smiling slightly.
"All my life." She says with a bright smile, her fangs glistening.
Mouth closed, I half smile, the right side of my mouth turning up into a smirk.
"I love it." I compliment.
"Good, cause there is no stopping it, no matter how hard you try, my love." She says, while playfully nudging me.
---
I repress the feelings from earlier and try to forget, pushing them into the back of my mind, though the thoughts bubble up now and again.
We trail our way back, Stella's hand firmly grasped around mine. Our arms sway as we walk back in the direction of the Academy.
