I opened my eyes and quickly closed them again. I had a terrible headache and the sunlight wasn't helping.
I groaned loudly, not caring who heard me.
"Ara, thank god. How are you feeling? " Luke asked, as he hovered over me.
"I'm fine. " I answered, slowly getting up to a sitting position. I tried again and forced my eyes open.
I was still confused. I mean, I lived my entire life as me, only to literally wake up one morning and find out I'm actually someone else. Harsh .
"What happened? " Luke asked.
"I don't know." I answered. Well it wasn't an actual lie. I can't tell them yet. Most of my memories are still blurred out anyway.
"Are you going to be able to travel?"
"Yeah, I'm fine, Luke. " I turned to Lily and the girls. "I'm sorry I woke you and the children, Lily. "
"Don't be ridiculous. I'm just glad you're okay. " Lily smiled.
"Did you three get enough rest?" I asked the girls.
"Please stop worrying about us and take care of yourself. " Ezra said. "We're fine "
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Luke, Lily and the girls packed up to travel again. I volunteered to help, but Luke insisted that I save my strength.
Since I regained consciousness, I noticed that I hadn't seen a certain, grumpy , bloodsucker.
I looked around and my eyes landed on a pair of light green ones. Ian. My Ian.
The only man I've ever loved was right in front of me. How I longed to be in his arms once again, to feel his soft lips on mine. It's strange that after two centuries , one look of him was all it took to make my heart race.
I opened my mouth to say ' I love you', but what came out was...
"Seriously? I fainted and you left me on the hard ground? Thanks to you I'm probably going to have aches all over my body!"
"I thought I made it clear to you. Human life holds no importance to me." The coldness of his voice nearly made me flinch.
Why are you like this?
A sudden pain erupted in my chest. I couldn't look at him any longer. I looked away. "We should probably get going. " I told Luke.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
We spent the day walking. I was trying to keep as much distance between Ian and I as possible.
Was it my death that made him like this? Impossible. He was the first and only man I have ever loved , but it had been two centuries. Surely he's moved on by now. He probably had better girls before and after me. I let out a frustrated sigh.
"What's wrong? " Ezra asked.
"Nothing." I said. Both Ezra and Elle gave me the ' not buying it' look. "Just trying to figure some stuff out." I gave in.
"Well if you want to talk, we're here." Ezra said, and
Elle nodded in agreement.
"Thanks, but I need to keep this one to myself. " they nodded, undertandingly.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Night. It's night and it's so freaking cold. Since the sun went on a vacation the days have been, cold and the nights have been freezing.
