Who Am I

Chapter 10

Jasper's/White's Pov

I slowly sat down next to Talia avoiding her to flinch.

"I know that it's not my business but I know that you aren't okay." I said trying not to show any nervousness.

Her eyes went wide. She shuffled 15 inches away from me.

"Please, I might be able to help you." I said without hesitation reaching out to her.

"Leave me alone!" She yelled through tears as if a warning.

I cocked my head to the side,"I won't because you need-"

"Leave me alone you cat-vampire!"she burst into tears the moment the sentence left her lips,"I-i don't want to die..." She trailed off in her sentence.

Let me guess, Blanc told her.
That idiot. He doesn't even know what I am.

"Look I'm not a cat-vamp(vampire)."I started.

"Then what are you?" She questioned ,trembling.

"Don't you notice that my tail is way thicker and furrier than a normal cat? Not to mention that my ears are bigger and a bit sharper than that of a cat?"I asked hoping that she gets the tip.

Unfortunately, she didn't.

"Now that you mention it, it's actually true, but I still don't know what you are?"

"You know I'll tell you when the time comes." I said " you know why Blanc kept you alive till now?"I asked quite randomly to change the topic.

"No why?"she asked hesitated.

"It's because he likes you, in other words that's why he saved you from Mafisto." I explained.

At the sound of his name she shuddered.

I gave her a hug to calm her nerves care full that I don't I injure her with my dagger-like nails.

She hugged me back for some reason, but I won't complain. Her touch was soft and gentle.

I pulled away gently and rubbed her tears away with my thumb.

I gave her a soft smile as she gave me a teary smile back.

I stood up and went to the table near the mirror and grabbed her ribbon and being careful not to peirce it with my nails.

She seemed surprised by my act because her eyes were wider than normal.

I smirked.

I walked behind her and tied the ribbon into the same lose ponytail her hair was in.

I stepped back to admire her  fully.

Her hand trailed down her hair and froze when she reached the ribbon. She pulled it down her neck to have a look.

Within seconds she was all over me, she gave me a tight hug and a kiss on the cheek.

My eyes went wide as my hand trailed against the cheek she kissed.

I knew my face was showing a hint of pink even though I wasn't looking at it directly.

Cute, way cute.

"You know Talia? You look really cute when you're happy." The words slipped my lips before I can stop myself.

I covered my mouth in embarrassment. I noticed that even Talia was going through the same thing I was.

"A-are we going to eat n-now?" She stuttered.

"Yes!" I said eager to change the topic.
