I woke up from my deep sleep but peaceful and well rested this time unlike yesterday when I was so sleepy. Mostly I slept all day and ate appropriate times because Blake wouldn't let me sleep on an empty stomach. Not am I just sleep deprived but also starved so I ate like pig, not that it matters to me. After the breakfast with the family, Blake didn't allow me down but got my lunch and dinner to the room. His words 'I don't want to be pushed to my limits again nor about my performance in bed'. I think it is quite funny. Sometimes being a sleepyhead comes handy. I really wish there comes a day again like that, where I can tease Blake and do what I want although he allows me to do everything except having a guy around. Blake makes up more than enough for it though. I smiled at it.
"What are you smiling at?" Blake interrupted my monologue. I giggled seeing his still sleepy face and muttered nothing. I snuggled back in his arms. I think recently I got obsessed with cuddling Blake or just Blake in general.
"Still sleepy?"
"No."
"And you are still cuddling me?"
I rose slightly and asked looking at him"I can't?"
"No, it's just you never did this before unless you were sleeping." He said tucking a stray hair.
"Well, I am a cuddly person in general."
"Mhm." He hummed and kissed me on the forehead. I love kiss on forehead because it generally shows the affection and has an innocent meaning to it.I love it. Some one knocked on the door so I moved from top of him or at least tried to but Blake wouldn't let me.
"Umm. Someone knocked on the door."
"I heard. My senses are much sharper than yours."
"Then let me down."
"Why?"
"It won't be decent."
He raised an eyebrow amused. I can almost see the mischievous glint in his eyes. Something is coming brace yourself Sophie.
"Decent you say? What happened yesterday. You said I was good in bed and no to mention the bigger the better." Damn it! I am not sleepy now as I slept almost the entire yesterday and hence the tomato red face now.
"You are blushing." He said touching my cheeks gently. "I wonder what happened yesterday, such bold and sexy words but didn't blush."
"Shut up! I was sleepy yesterday." I mumbled barely audible and completely embarrassed. Should have thought about it.
"Sophie." Came the voice from the along with knocking.
"Yes." I said struggling to sit up.
"Can I come in?" Gabbs asked.
"Yes." Finally Blake let me sit but he embraced me from behind, kind of like a back hug.
Gabs came in cautiously first peeking and then coming in.
"May I know why you are so cautious? Normally you wouldn't even knock, just barge in. You even took photos of us while sleeping. Now entered as if you are making sure that someone was not there. What's the matter?" I asked quite suspicious.
"Um.. I really don't want to see it again. Even though you are my cousin it is not a good sight to see. I thought of giving you guys a little privacy."
"What is?" I asked confused.
"I think she is talking about yesterday." Blake suddenly whispered in my ear sending a chill down my spine.
"What do you mean?"
"You let your blanket fall."
"What blan....ket" Shit! Yesterday when I sat up I have no clothes on. She must have misunderstood, not to mention the comments I made at the breakfast. I knew something like this will happen but still I behaved so. Darn me and my tendencies to act like a child. "Uh." I coughed trying to cover up.
"I wanted to give you some privacy but I couldn't. I wanted to know how you are. I am worried about you." I saw her teary eyes. I moved and Blake let me go. I hugged her tightly to me. She is really attached to me and I could only imagine what she had to go through. Surely if she was the one to be kidnapped, no I can't even imagine such a situation. It will devastate me completely.
"I am sorry Gabbs. I am really sorry." I murmured while she sobbed softly in my arms. She must have been terrified beyond comprehension. No knowing what happened to me, more importantly whether I would return alive or not. It must have been horrible.
"Were you eating properly?" I asked lightly removed her head but still keeping her in my arms so that I can look into her eyes. She shook her head yes.
"Gabbs!" I said warning and she bit her lip. That is a bad habit of her. Whenever she is worried she barely eats. She starves herself. Since the matter is concerning me and a very serious matter too, I guess she starved herself. Damn it! Why didn't I think of it before! I was selfishly thinking of myself only. My hunger and my sleep when in reality she suffered too. The physical cuts may not be but mentally she suffered too. Our bond is really deep.
"Come on. Let's get you to eat something." I took her downstairs to the mini-dining table. I put in her plate all the things she like. If I should say so the plate is too full but it's fine. She must be starving.
"Here." I kept the plate before her but she immediately turned pale. She closed her mouth with her hands and ran to the bathroom. I followed her worried. Looks like the situation is much deeper than I imagined. I rubbed her back while she threw up whatever she has in her stomach.
"Are you alright?"
"Yes. The steak smelled awful."
"Really? It was well cooked and by the looks it would be delicious and moreover it didn't smelled bad to me." I was confused. It was seriously good. Mediumly done steak, her favorite. I wanted to have one to. Any way since it made her vomit, no steak today, even if makes my mouth salivate.
"What happened? Is she alright?" Erik asked standing at the bathroom and looking worried, more worried than usual. May be because of her worried state these past days.
"Take the steak away. The smell made her stomach churn." Erik disappeared immediately and appeared again in a second. Vampire powers! It must be good to have such a high speed and high reflexes.
"Steak removed, anything else that makes you nauseous?" Gabbs shook her head no. She still looked pale. Erik came near and lifted her bridal style.
"Do you want to sleep?" He asked her so tenderly. It makes me melt to know Gabbs is loved so much.
"She has rest but after eating something." I interrupted. "I guess she didn't much last week right?" I asked to confirm and replied positive. "We can't let her sleep on an empty stomach." Erik nodded seriously and moved to the dining table. To be frank it was a little comical, seeing the bubbly and energetic Erik turning serious, but I guess anything happens in love.
Does Blake love me? Wah! What the hell! What do you know about love? Nothing, so keep quiet. All you have to know for now is that he cares about her. Even if he say now that he loves you can't reply to him properly except saying you like him and doesn't really know what love means, so shut up for heaven's sake.
Blake and the others came down to find Gabbs being pampered by Erik and me.
"Oh! Is it you that is kidnapped or Gabbs?" Mr.Alpha asked.
"She is feeling sick, so we are taking care of her. I can't neglect her can I?"
He nodded but Blake grumbled that I was taking care of her to the extent of forgetting him which made me smile, discreetly of course.
"How are you? Are you feeling well child?" Fairy Queen asked me.
"Yes, I am fine. Thank you for asking ma'm." I smiled politely at her.
"No need to be formal. Be free. Think of me as you mother." She smiled graciously at me. Internal joke, imagine a 10 cm creature (fairy) as mother and a 5 foot four inch human as daughter. Quite beyond imagination.
"Do you have any idea of who kidnapped you and why?" She asked me again.
"No, I am not certain. Coming to that why wasn't I informed that Demons exist?" I looked at Blake questioningly.
"Why are you asking that?"
"Hey! I asked you first, answer me and you will get your answer."
"Well, you can say I kind of forgot."
"Kind of? That means you did not forget."
"May be. It wasn't necessary. You know about the great war right? Where they fought for dominance. In that war the demon king lost his mate. For a period he was very violent and reckless, avenging for his mate's death. Death rate was the highest during that time. But after sometime he gave up. He severed all the connections with the remaining realms. Demon realm exists independently and they do not mingle with anyone. They say he is still in isolation with regret. He believes it was the war who took his wife away and hence doesn't want to have anything with others. He also regrets the death of the people during his killing spree because there would me many females who lost their mates. There is no trace of them or their activities till date."
"Oh! Is that so?"
"Why did you ask?"
"Nothing. My kidnapper said he was a demon."
"What?" Everyone exclaimed at this shocking me a little because I was in a trance trying to process all the information.
"That's impossible! They won't do so." Fairy Queen flew before me.
"I don't know whether he is really a demon or not. I never saw one remember."
"Then what makes you think he is a demon?"
"As I told he said that he is a demon. I don't know anything else. Oh! The other guy in the jail with me, he told me that they are part of Silver moon assassins and that we were in Onhem forest. Hmm. That's all."
"Have you seen his face?" Fairy Queen asked.
"No. He always wore a mask."
"Is that so?"
"We have to look deeper into this. He disappeared when I was about to catch him. That could mean he is a witch or had help from a witch. We don't know who they are and what they want." Blake said and Fairy Queen flew away from in deep thought. I think she knows something that we don't. I wonder what! What is the secret? And what about my evil demon torturer? Why was I kidnapped? If it was to make Blake suffer it would have been easier for him if he killed me but he kept alive. He made sure that I was alive. What did he want from me? Or is it just to make Blake suffer, knowing that I am alive but suffering. What do they want?
