Chapter 8: Eleanor’s Reaction  

(CHARLIES POV)

            Eleanor starred at me with blank eyes.  Her once green eyes had turned black, like mine.

“What do you mean I’m a vampire? And Seventeen forever?”

She said to me looking deep into my eyes.

“You are like me now Eleanor, you are nothing more than a creature of the night, I’m sorry for doing this to you. I know it was in no way noble of me, but I need to ensure that you are safe and the only way I could do that was by changing you into a vampire, and I know you wouldn’t tell my secret if you were a vampire as well.”

I explained. I waited a moment for her reaction; I knew I had to give her time to

Process this all in. It wasn’t an easy thing to in take, but of course, I couldn’t remember, I had lost my memory of when I was changed into a vampire.

“I’ll never grow older. I’ll never know what it’s like to be eighteen, I’ll watch everyone around me die, and I wont be able to do anything about it.”

She said.

I bit my bottom lip.  Her dark eyes were tearing up.

“You’ll never grow old though Eleanor! You’ll never have to lose your beauty and your youth; you’ll have an eternity of youth! Nothing but happiness and fun, never having to experience, old age, and your hair changing color. You’ll be as you are now forever”

“Forever seventeen?  I couldn’t think of anything worse, I’ll never know the joy of growing old with someone. How old are you? Over one hundred?”

She asked.

“ I am about twenty two, I don’t know how long I have been this age, but I know that’s how old I am. I haven’t matured at all over the past god knows how many years.  I will always be a 22 year old boy.”

“I don’t want to be seventeen forever. I want to grow up, mature, and understand the world in a different way. I want to change.”

Eleanor began to cry. I crossed the room and sat by her.

“I’m sorry Eleanor, I’ve robbed you of so much, and we don’t know each other at all, but I promise you, I will always be here for you, and we will end up being happy together.”

“How would you know that?”

She asked.

I bit my lip I didn’t want to tell her how I knew, I didn’t want to frighten her more than she was already frightened, but I guess more than anything I owed her an explanation.

“I’ve had dreams about you, I’ve had dreams about a mysterious girl breaking into my house, and helping me find out what happened to Helen and Aurora. I know she’s you, because no one has ever attempted to come up here. Ever, I know about the legends regarding this house.”

“Well I guess I have no choice then, this was all a pre determined Destiny wasn’t it?”

Eleanor said.

I nodded my head.

“Well in that case I guess I’ll have to help you.”

I smiled and looked up at her.

“Thank you, you won’t regret it, I promise. And we must leave to Italy immediately.”

I said.

“Why Italy?”

She asked.

“Because I have a family home there. And Aurora would have known that when she left, I’ve been having visions of Italy. Aurora is probably there, waiting for me, or someone is there who knows something, and will give me a clue to what happened to Helen.”

Note: Sorry for the shortness in this chapter! I just started school and haven't had a lot of time to write! But i wanted to update everyone on what's going on in the story! Thanks for reading and please comment! Also this story is 100% mine.
