Vampire King

Chapter 48- Answers

"Please come back to me, I need you!" He turns his back to me and walks away.

"Please come back to me, I need you!" It repeats, why is the dream repeating? He smirks at me and tauntingly walks away very slowly.

"Shae!" My eyes open and I gasp, I look beside me to see Amy and Sam. They are staring at me with worry, I sigh realising what happened. "You had enough dream about him, didn't you?" Sam asks, it's been two weeks and he's disappeared since that day that he came into the woods at night. We haven't seen him since, it's like he's totally disappeared. The news reporters and newspapers have stopped mentioning the killing which means he either isn't killing anyone or he's compelling people. And since he's gone it's been too real, I dream about that night every night; what I could have said and done to stop him from leaving me. And the possibilities of what he could've said to me.

"Yeah," I mumble quietly. I feel bad, I've been waking up everyone because all it ends in is a terrible nightmare. Then they wake me up and I have a sore throat from most likely screaming. I look outside, it's completely dark; they both sigh and rub their eyes tiredly. "It's okay, you guys get some rest I probably will stay awake," it can't be too long until the sun rises. They look doubtful but I shake my head so they stand up and leave, I sigh softly.

For these past two weeks that he has disappeared my stomach has gotten bigger, not big like a balloon but big. Balloons aren't even that big but I couldn't think of anything else. But it's noticeable and I wish Tyler was here to watch our baby grow, being pregnant has also made me more emotional so don't judge me when I say tears fall from my eyes at the thought of him not being here. I'm pretty sure that if I wasn't pregnant than I still would've been crying. I miss him.

Where is he right now? Is he making bad decisions? Surely Tyler would be because his emotions are off, he can't feel a thing. The door bursts open disturbing me from my thoughts, I spin around to see a panting Eddie. "He's here," my eyes widen at what he says in understanding, I immediately run out of the room and down the stairs. All I need to do is see him, when I'm outside I notice him; his black tousled hair, his olive skin, the stubble that is on his jaw, his ice blue eyes. He looks at me, his eyes don't waver from my face and he smirks. Marcus also stands there trying to get him to turn his humanity back on, but of course if won't work; he needs a reason, he needs to do it for something. And I know that something.

"Marcus," I mutter, he stops his talking and looks at me then my belly and nods staying silent. I walk closer over to Tyler, he stays rooted to the ground with a blank face. "Tyler, just turn back on your humanity, please," I knew that it wasn't going to work but it's worth a shot. I wanted to see if he'd turn on his humanity for me but he can't feel for me at the moment I guess. "So guess what happened," I whisper, he tilts his head to the side.

"What?" He replies, I clear my throat awkwardly.

"Tyler, I get that you're hurting. You just found out that your mother was really dead and all that torture was for nothing. We know that you killed Alejandro and we understand, you won't be hated or called a monster for all that you have done while your humanity is off. But you need to trust me, you need to trust that I can be your shoulder to lean on, that I will be there for you. But when you have your humanity off you aren't letting me." Did I mention that Alejandro was found dead, he was sitting on the seat slumped, he had gashes over his body and his clothes were ripped. His mouth was tied with a piece of fabric cut from his shirt, he was just dead. And I know that Tyler made it painful.

Tyler smirks, hiding his emotions that I already saw. He wants to come back to me, I know it. But he's just scared, scared of feeling. But we are all meant to be human and being human means feeling. "Why would I change? I'm perfectly fine at the moment," he scoffs then a grin settles on his face.
