Eric's POV

I went down stairs and found some leftover food in the kitchen
I heated the food up and took it too Eva's room

"Here" I said as I placed the plate of food on front of her

"You made this?" Eva asked surprised

"Not really, I found a leftover in the kitchen and I just warmed it up" I said and she laughed

"Of course that's more like you, you aren't one to stress yourself over cooking food" Eva said

"Come on, I just didn't want to waste food, this will do right?" I asked and she nodded

"Of course" she said and began to eat

I watched as she ate a spoonful each time and I smiled
She must have been so hungry

"I'm not comfortable with your stare Eric" Eva said

"Oh sorry, just pretend I'm not here and continue eating" I said

"How can I pretend you aren't here when you are staring at me like that" she said

"Then what else am I supposed to stare at?!"

"Anything else but not me!" she stated

"Well it's your fault that I can't take my eyes off you, whoever said you should be born this beautiful?!" I said and she scoffed

"Did you perhaps read some flirty book while I was unconscious and then decided to practice it out with me when I wake up?" Eva asked

"You know I rarely read, I just.... I just realized that I've been holding myself back for too long, I am an immortal but you are not, unlike mine, you have a limited time to spend on Earth so why waste it running away from my feelings and holding myself back from being happy with you, I don't want what happened to Ivan to happen to us Eva, I love you and I won't be hiding that anymore" I said and she smiled

"Must have taken you a lot of courage to come to terms with your feelings" she said

"Of course, a whole lot of courage and it actually feels good now that I've let it all out" I uttered

"Well, I'm happy for you" she said and I looked at her surprised

"That's not what you are supposed to say, in cases like this, I love you too is the right reply" I said

"And you tell me you haven't being reading any romance book Eric Hammington?" Eva said

"I don't need to read any romance book to know what your reply is supposed to be, it's common knowledge" I said and she chuckled

"You said my life is limited and yours is not? How are you so sure about that? I think your life might be in more danger than mine right now considering the fact that Ivan got Bella's blood so he can totally make a weapons strong enough to kill you now" Eva said

"Not necessarily" Dianna said as she walked in with her baby

"Dianna...."

"You were right Eric" Dianna said and I kept quiet to hear what she had to say
"As much as I try to deny it most of the time, I am a selfish person, I care about nothing and nobody except my baby girl, I'll do anything, use anyone to protect my little girl and not care if any harm befell them, I use people like they are pawns in a chess game who have no other purpose except to serve me and obey my commands, I've realized all that and I do not think I'll be able to change from being that kind of person, especially not when my Bella's life is in danger so I'm going away, outside of this place, outside of Arcane City, it's me Ivan wants, if I leave here, he'll leave you guys alone and chase after me"
