The daunting questions lingered in her mind as she stared mindlessly at the wrapped gift Heymish had passed onto Autumn for Day. Her father could still be alive- or rather, a living dead.
"Day?"
Day's snapped back from her mental questions. "Where is my father?"
"I have no idea D, Gage just told me he is well and that it's you who will get to feel his presence and ultimately reach out to him."
"Now it all fits in."
"Like?"
"Like my dreams, that silver blade, that voice I keep on hearing, it could be my dad! And that photosentivity, it's not an allergy, it's just that vampire thing we read and see in books and movies."
"Hmm..and we don't sparkle," Autumn smiled mischievously.
"We don't?"
"Nope," Autumn pouted as she continued, "We burn since our skin is highly sensitive to UV Rays, we get blisters and small burns, but I assure you we won't get destroyed! The reactions will be dramatic but not a hint of smoke will be seen and since we are not pure vampires, then the reactions to certain things that are harmful to vampire will be far less severe."
"Mhmm," Day nodded. "And why did we take 18 human years to grow up? Why can't we just be like Renesmee?" Day heaved a sigh.
"We didn't, it took us only 8 human years to grow properly."
Day's lower jaw dropped in shock, "And how come I didn't know it? I mean how can I be a vampire hybrid and not know about these things?"
"Because I didn't let you." A sly smile played on Autumn's lips.
"W-what do you mean?" Day stammered a few words out of her mouth.
"I have the ability to control, see and listen to one's thinking and so did mom."
"That's why you said that you saw what I saw, whatever I saw from that amulet- do you even get this?"
"Pretty much," Autumn smiled as she nodded her head. "And you have the ability to see the future and sense what is right and what is wrong, and because of your mother's genes, you also have some white magical powers running in your veins."
"Like what?"
"Again, I have to disappoint you, I am clueless of what other powers you have, only time will tell us."
Day walked over to the window and withdrew the dark curtains, letting the sunlight pour in, illuminating the whole room. She looked up the window as the sunlight streamed inside her eyes. A figure perched on his window frame, was staring back at her from the opposite cottage.
"Heymish." Her breath fogged the window pane as Day whispered. Heymish turned back stiffly and went behind the darkness of his own room.
She turned back too and walked in quick strides to the gift Heymish brought for her. Her supple fingers ran through the ribbon tied around the wrapped content. She pulled the ribbon open and unwrapped the gift neatly. She took off the letter stuck on the small jewel box and flipped it open. The words filled her eyes with warm tears which were ready to stream down her cheek at any moment.
" Dear Day,
It is your birthday and I didn't even know. I wish I could properly plan something for you, I am sorry I couldn't do anything special, and couldn't even protect you, even if it was from the sunlight..Day, I have something special to say to you,
Day Lesley Mary James, your surname is very good, but will you like to be Mrs. whatever my surname is? I don't know what was the actual reason I got attracted towards you, but all I know is that I just did. I fell in love with you. It's your cheerful laugh, that friendly ambience you create, the way your eyes sparkle, the way your hair flies, the way your cheeks rise when you smile and the way you panick over little things. You are the bestest! I don't know how to put it, I didn't want to sound desperate or too eager so I remained silent, so I dont sound too indifferent. I don't know how you're gonna take this, and I know this is a bit too soon, but these days we have spent together was very memorable and I haven't felt anything like this before. You're the only person who made me smile, because of you, the emotions I had never felt crept its way inside my heart. So here's it, would you like to be my girlfriend? Would you come into this lad's heart and make his life sweet and full of love? I will wait for your reply, even if it's takes forever..
Till we meet,
Yours truly,
Heymish."
Day folded the paper into a half, sniffed back and restrained her tears from falling. "He could touch my amulet too..."
