Millennium-Betrayal

Chapter 14

She rubbed the side of her neck gently, she can still feel the marks. They are still there. Dang it, Miranda! What is she going to tell Major is he asks? Will he kill her or worst will she kill Miranda? Why on earth is she so worried about her well being all of the sudden.

She quietly sips her food as she listened to Rip talking about how her day was. She is glad that Rip forgave her and her actions instead of holding a grudge.

"So, you never told me you're into zhose kind of zhings." Rip suddenly pointed out the bite marks, she seemed to be smirking.

"Miranda happened..." She said having to tired to explain to everyone who asked.

"I know zhat. Juzt, you seem like you're okay vith it?"

"Nein..." Emily lost her appetite putting away her food and rest her chin onto the table. "I feel vorst. It's just vhen Dok or Miranda get close to me. I don't have the feeling of disgust or wanting to run away. I feel oddly safe..."

Oh, Rip knew that feeling. She's experienced with these kind of stuff all right. Reaching out one of the gloved hand and ruffles her dark hair. "You're in love~" Rip said it like it was a good thing.

Emily can't help but her glared up at the soldier. "That's just ridiculous. I can't... be in love with her..." She took a deep breath, her heart is clenching so much that she can almost feel it hurt. The feeling is rather familiar, all warm and fuzzy and awfully silly.  She need a breather like, really badly.

"... Emily?" Rip stopped ruffling her hair and removed her hand away to cease to make the situation worst.

She slowly lifted her head up away from the table and leaned back to her armchair. Breathing heavily, every moment is painful for her, trying to catch her breath into her lungs and having her heart to plumb slowly.

Panic attack.

Upon seeing this, Rip stood up from her seat and search the room for Emily's inhaler. Successfully, she found it with lots of spare medication in a drawer and handed it to Emily. "Breath..."

The gas was plumb into her mouth, slowly she recovered.

What if that was just all a joke? Miranda can't possible 'love' her. It's confusing. One moment, she hates her and another moment she likes her.

"Zhere, zhere." Rip having her arms wrapped around the half human and trying her best to comfort her. She knows what she was doing, this isn't the first time that Emily had an outburst. She is still a child after all...

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

"Emily, why are you avoiding me?" Miranda asked having to follow her around the manor. And thankfully, Emily turned around and glared down at the girl. They are in the middle of the hallway where no other vampires were around.

"I don't know. I'm complicated."

"You wouldn't just do that to me. You need to have a reason why..."' Miranda said having to keep her fears on hold. She clueless with her emotions and would hurt others without knowing so. "Please..."

"You're an ass, Miranda." Emily taken down her mask and having her hair behind her ears.

This is the fill clear view of Emily after that operation. So, it failed. No wonder...

"It was dark when you came back. So you can't properly see all of this clearly! All the things that you say and do were lies right? Please tell me that those were all lies!"  The second outburst for the day. Having to pulled her necktie down and unbuttoned a few of her shirt buttons and pulled it to to reveal that bite marks which Miranda herself left it there.

Miranda widened her eyes in horrid. She did this to Emily...? Then slowly closed her eyes, having to rubbed the bridge of her nose while she think.  Though, she opened her eyes again and inspect each an every part of her features carefully. That scar, those  most coloured eyes... that bite mark. It's all beautiful to her. Although, she does not know what she said that night that can triggered Emily so badly...It must be something very deep and hurtful.

"Did you ever think that I was beautiful at all." For Emily, she has her insecurities. It took her few years to accept others into her life, but she still tends to hide herself away from the crowd.

"Very." Miranda said.

"Lies." Emily slowly let her pride down, having to looked down at her boots when she does so. "I don't know what to believe anymore...It hurts so much, Miranda. "

Miranda looked around, to check if the darn cat was around or any security cameras at all. Fortunately, there was no sign of Schrödinger or hidden cameras anywhere. She made her next move. That is to hug the young woman.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."  Having her arms wrapped around her tightly. "Hate me all you want. Please don't leave me. Please whatever you do, please don't leave."

Emily didn't say anything at all, as she bite Miranda in return.

"Gah!" Miranda titled her head to the side for Emily to make a more easy access. "Warn me next time." And then stayed silent for Emily to finished, her arms did not once dropped to her side. She just held her protectively while Emily do what it was needed to be done.

"...Danke..." Emily stayed there. Watching at the wound closed. Oh, Miranda has magnificent healing powers. She did it, she bite someone. Wait, did Avondale said something about her not to part take any freshly blood? "Please don't hate me..."

"Pfft. Me? never!So tell me, what did I do that night? I'm sorry if I did do something violent upon you." Miranda pulled back away put kept holding her.

"... um...You said I was very cute in my uniform?" Emily blinked, trying so hard to not to looked into her eyes.

"Well, that is true. And?"

"You kissed me."

Huh..That's surprisingly new to Miranda.

"Where?"

"Mein forehead, nose and lips."

"Well, I did not lie. You're very cute and beautiful."

Can she stop it? Emily narrowed her eyes, looking at Miranda dangerously. "You were drunk!"

"And you know very well how much I love you~"

"Gott!Verdammt!! Get away from me!" Having to pulled away from the SS Commander and walked away from her.

"But it's true!!" Miranda pulled Emily by her hand and turned her around. To see big drops of tears pouring down from the mid coloured eyes. Oh dear, she had made her cry again. "... w-why are you crying...?"

"Because of you!!" Emily hugged the girl tight this time. "You're the one good thing that happened to me in my life...I will never leave you..."

That's good to hear.

Schrödinger's ears twitch having to spy on them with his digital pad. "Aw, zhey're so cute."

Avondale on the other hand cringed very hard at the sight of this. "...I believe I'm feeling rather sick."

Rip was sitting on the Major's throne watching the big screen. It amuses her. "I told her zhat she vas in love. Zhey never listened to me!"

Zorin walked over to the throne and comfortable leaning her back on the side of it where she begin to light up her cigarette and smoke. " Tch, I told her so. Vhat a bunch of babies!"
