Resurrected From Death

Chapter 5: Someone's at the door!

"So, according to this theory... Stefan is a supernatural being?"

He simply nods.
"And he came back in town probably to convert me into one?"

"Well, maybe... I'm not sure of that. Anyways, that's not the important matter right now. I have other things on my plate."

"What could possibly be more important than me?"
I narrow my eyes at him.

"There are things."

I rolled my eyes at him.

"Ooh! Someone seems to like my attention huh?"

"Oh please! Screw you. I'd prefer dying than being watched by you."

"Cool! Anyways, I am leaving but the shield is still there. If anything happens you call me alright? Your friends would be here at any moment. And also I'd prefer you not telling anyone about this. You understand me?"

"Yup. Got that! No worries, no one would know about this little secret."

He leans forward without breaking that intense eye lock... Don't kiss me!
His lips touch my forehead and I sigh in relief. It's so heartwarming!

"Don't get yourself in trouble." And he leaves within a second. Like you see in The Vampire Diaries! Just like that. With a Woaaahhhhhhh he's gone! Hmm, so dear universe I know I asked for a thrilling life, but I didn't know you would bring so much thrill all of a sudden!

After an hour Chris comes in with a box of noodles.
"Hey, I thought only hospital food is allowed."

"Well, having supernatural abilities has its own perks!"

"You are the best!!" I say and I start hogging. I look at him and see him scribbling down something in his journal.
The lamplight highlights his feature even more radiantly.
"If you find me so tempting then you are free to eat me instead of those noodles."
"No... I was... I was just wondering why did you choose to help me? I mean there'd be thousands of helpless girls out there. Why me?"

"That's because you hold the power to our world. You are unknown to the fact that you are of the utmost importance to us!"

"But I haven't even done anything to be of such great importance."

"You'll know soon, right now I am forbidden to tell you everything. Eat! You need to sleep too."

"Where will you sleep?"

"I'd sleep on the couch...and to be honest I don't have to sleep... I have to stay awake and look after you. You are a beacon for all the demons right now."

"So what? You are going to sprinkle holy water around me and ensure that I don't get possessed by one of those demons?"

"It's a little too much. But yeah I'd sit here to kick their asses off!"

"Ooohh!! that's pretty badass."

I complete the rest of my meal in silence constantly stealing glances from him. And he kept on scribbling something in his journal.

"I'm done!"

"These are your medicines." He hands them over to them I gulp them down the throat with a glass of water.

"So goodnight. And happy scribbling!" I tell him as I lie on my back comfortably.
He covers me up with a blanket and kisses my forehead.

"Goodnight sweet Irene!" And there's this glint of worry in his eyes.
He drifts apart and settles himself on the chair. I close my eyes and drift off to sleep.

"Wake up sleepy head. Rise and Shine!"
Urgh it's Chris. Why is he always in black?
I rub my eyes and stretch my arms.
"Good morning blacky"
