Finding You

Chapter ~~12

            This is the second time that Lucas has saved my life. Or is it the third. He caught me when I was falling. He distracted those rouge Demons, and now he shielded me with his own body. Every time he gets hurt. I don’t like seeing him in pain like that. Why does he keep throwing himself in danger for me? We haven’t spoken in a month. In the hospital we had this amazing bond but it seemed like that was gone. The longest conversation we had ended in a fight. So why? Why does he keep saving me?

            Because he is my mate.

            A flash of light hit me and I was knocked down. My vision went dark and I cried out. It felt like my body was being electrocuted. It was painful but it felt good at the same time. I felt nothing but the electricity of pure love. It was a want for me and only me, a want so strong it hurt. Suddenly my vision returned but it wasn’t where I had been. There was a bag of blood hanging next to me, and it was connected to my arm.

            ‘It is connected to my arm’ Lucas’ voice said in my head.

            ‘So it’s true, we’re bonded.’

            ‘The bonding will take a few more minutes to complete. I warn you, it only gets more painful.’

            ‘I’ll take all the pain if I can be with you.’

            ‘For eternity, lover’ he whispered.

            My vision came back and I could see Claude leaning over me. The electric current that was running through my body was getting stronger. It began to hurt more and the enjoyable feeling of love seemed to slip away. I tried to focus on Claude. He was looking down at me with sad eyes. The pain was increasing by the minute. I was breathing hard and closed my eyes. Then there was a stabbing pain in my back. That was the last thing I remember before I lost consciousness. 

            I woke up in my room. It seems brighter in here. I sat up. Lucas. I have to find Lucas. I got out of bed but my legs didn’t seem to work so I fell to the ground.

            “Not so fast” Claude said. He lifted me and put me back on my bed. “Legs are usually the last thing to work right after you bond. Bonding is like resetting the body to a new frequency. Every part of the body needs to adjust to its new settings and abilities.”

            “I’m sorry Claude.” He looked at me shocked.

            “Sorry? Sorry for what?” I just looked at him. “It is okay Navia. I knew from the beginning that you were not mine. I just never thought losing you to someone else would hurt this much.”

            “We had fun together.” We smiled at each other. “Claude you helped me so much.” We were silent for a while.

            Claude broke the silence by asking “Do you love him?”

            “I’m not sure.”

            He got real close and stared. His eyes were searching mine. “Do you think what we had could have turned into love? If we had the time, and no interferences?”

            Could it have? Could our relationship have gone any further? Would it have lasted?

            “No Claude. I’m sorry” His eyes were so sad. Tears welled in his eyes, and one pink tear fell. Claude turned and left. I lay down and closed my eyes.

            I want Lucas. I want Lucas. I want Lucas. Tears came to my eyes and I tried to hold them back.

            ‘I am always here for you lover’ I heard his voice.
