Damnations a begining

chapter 9

Chapter 9

I smelled strawberries and cream, I wasn’t completely awake. The smell was so sweet as it caressed at my nose and the taste on my tong as I took a deep breath in through my mouth.

I opened my eyes to an empty blackness and thought that I had finally woken up from ever so vivid dream. But there was a weight on the bed next to me and I realised Caspian was still there so I must still be dreaming. In that moment I hoped endlessly that this was real and not some silly dream.

I cuddled closer to his body getting comfy. That when he moved he rolled on top of me. He was so heavy like dead weight.

“Caspian move you’re hurting me.” I said breathless. He didn’t respond.

I managed to get my hands free but couldn’t push him off he was too heavy. My hands found his face, it was so smooth and cold, so cold. It was like putting my hand in a bucket of ice. The cold spread around my hand and down y arm, I pulled away. I pushed at his chest again but couldn’t get him to move.

It must have been past dawn he was dead to the world. He was dead on top of me. My brain couldn’t get it to all make sense. I started to scream, I couldn’t breathe. He wasn’t going to wake up of course not he’s dead. I was feeling claustrophobics.

“HELP, Get of me. I can’t breathe properly. Someone help me.” I screamed, even though I knew everyone would be asleep or dead to the world, but still I couldn’t help it.

The door burst open behind me and link came hurtling in to view. “Evie what’s wrong?”

“No, get him off me.” I gasped.

He came closer to the bed. In one movement he moved Caspian off of me and onto the other side of the bed. Now, why couldn’t I do that to start with. As soon as I was free I got up off of the bed and hugged myself. I felt dizzy and a bit unsteady on my feet. I sat back down on the end of the bed. I couldn’t remember the last time I had anything to eat. That’s what was wrong the shock mixed with lack of food.

“Are you ok Evie?” link asked me again.

“ I’m not feeling so good at the moment. I haven’t eaten in a while, I think I might need to.” He looked at me curiously thinking for a moment.

“Do you need blood, because you can use me if you like.” He said this with a smile like it happened all the time.

“What? No, no I mean food as in real food, like chips, toast and chocolate, oh I could really go for some chocolate. You got any real food around here.”

“Yeah sure” he laughed. “Sorry I thought it happened last night. That’s what everyone is saying.”

“No I’m not ready, not sure if I ever will be. I need some time to think.” I looked at him and realised for the first time that he was wearing nothing but a tiny pair of pants. They didn’t leave much to the imagination. “ One request first, could you put something else on please?”

“Oh yeah sure. I’ll go get dressed and come back to get you. Then I get you something to eat in the dinning room.”

“Ok” I said as he stalked off out the room again.

I fell back onto the bed and my hand touched Caspian’s bare foot. This time the cold didn’t run up my are. He was still so cold but something told me that he was going to wake up soon. Link didn’t take long getting dressed we was back in minuets. I sat up and smiled at him, glad he had more cloths on this time.

He took my arm and escorted me to the dinning room. We went down the grand spiral staircase and the sunset shined through the glassless windows. It felt so warm on my skin compared to the cold of Caspian’s. When the light hit my face I felt suddenly aware that I had not looked in a mirror today I bet I looked like a right mess with no makeup on. I hadn’t even brushed my hair. Though not a big worry at the moment I need food first primp later.
