Chapter 20
Bella's POV
My eyes abruptly opened on their own and I tried standing up hurriedly from the bed that I was sleeping on but I couldn't because someone was resting on my lower body.
I looked down to see someone holding on to my body tightly. I soon realized it was Adonis. He lifted his head to look into my eyes as I did.
"Hey," he called out.
"I just had a terrible nightmare," I told him.
He sat up and kissed my forehead.
"Tell me about it, baby," he asked and I first nodded before I started talking.
"I dreamt that I woke up at the hospital," I stopped when I noticed the room looked different from the hospital.
Hospital?
"Wait, where am I, why was I in…." Before I could finish the question, the last events rushed into my brain. I almost started crying as I remembered getting kidnapped by Matthew and his men. I was later tied up in a room for hours without anyone in sight. I also remember Adonis coming in with two men to take me to the hospital.
I remember…..
"What happened, Adonis?" I asked him.
"Tell me your dream," Adonis asked. "I'll tell you everything after that," he explained.
"I saw you in my dream. I tried calling out your name but you weren't responding. When I touched your face, I saw blood. Matthew was also there, he said something about setting a trap for you. He wanted to kill me in revenge for his brother's death and then, he shot me. He shot me here," I narrated, pointing to my chest.
"Bella," Adonis touched my cheek, and then I realized I'd been crying.
"Why does the dream seem so real?" I asked. Adonis didn't give me a response, rather he hugged me so close and kept on murmuring calming words to my ears.
After what seemed like five minutes, he removed his body from mine and looked into my eyes.
"I'm about to tell you something, Bella. You might hate me forever because of it but no other alternative was available"
"I'm hungry," I interrupted.
"It's normal," he responded, throwing me off. I couldn't concentrate on Adonis or his words. I was hungry and it was strange. I wasn't hungry for food, I was hungry for something else entirely.
I can't seem to put a finger around what I was hungry for.
"Bella," Adonis called out, gaining my attention. He had a cup with him already and whatever was inside that cup, smelt nice to me. I grabbed the cup from his hand, licked my lips in anticipation and I lifted it to my lips before I drank the whole content at a go.
I gave Adonis back the cup and wiped my lips with the back of my palm, only for me to bring it to my eyes and see that it was red.
"Is it wine?" I asked Adonis.
"No, Bella. It was blood. My blood" He answered.
"What are you talking about Adonis? Are you joking?" I asked.
He held my face with his hands.
"What you just told me isn't a dream Bella, you saw it. It happened. You were shot by Matthew and you almost died. Marco didn't have a choice, he had to turn you"
He explained and I was still confused.
"Turn me into what?"
"A vampire, Bella. I'm sorry"
I removed his hand from my face and I stood up from the bed. I walked into the bathroom and ignored Adonis' constant call of my name.
I locked the bathroom door behind me and I slipped into the floor. I didn't know if I should cry or laugh. I knew Adonis wasn't joking with how intense his looks were and I just drank blood without hesitation. It even tasted nice and smelled nice too.
Standing up from the floor, I walked closer to the tap and began rinsing out my mouth. I tried gagging on my fingers to vomit the blood but I couldn't and as a result, tears dropped from my eyes involuntarily until it became voluntary.
I sat back on the bathroom floor, held my face in my hand, and cried. Minutes later, I walked closer to the knock and knocked, as I knew Adonis was still there.
"Bella," he called out, his voice low.
"What does it take to be a vampire?" I asked.
"Nothing sweetie. You don't have to put much pressure on yourself, I'll be here to help you out, baby. Just relax with me"
"I trust you," I told him.
I rested my head on the door and closed my eyes for a minute. I don't want to accept my new fate, I wish I'll wake up and it'll all be a dream, but I have to keep going.
"Do you feel hungry?" Adonis asked from the other side of the door.
"No Adonis, I'm fine"
"Can you feel your teeth longer than usual?"
I quickly stood up and went straight to the mirror.
"No, why do you ask?"
"That's the first sign baby. You'll notice that once you feel hungry. You're still a newborn vampire and it'll take time for you to get used to things. You'll also be dangerous to people around you because you won't be able to control your hunger and new abilities as they unfold each day. So, it'll be better for us to stay here. Marco wouldn't mind. There's also a lot for you to learn and I promise to take you on that path each day" He explained.
"Okay, I just need to get my things at my apartment and tell Eva I'll be staying with you" I explained.
"Don't worry about that Bella, Eva came in with your things earlier. Do you want to see her?" He asked.
I opened the door to reveal Adonis also sitting beside the wall. I bent down and threw my arms around his neck, he hugged me back tightly.
"I'm sorry Bella," he apologized again.
"It's alright, Baby. Can I see Eva now? Does she know?" He nodded.
"She also has a lot to tell you," He added.
As soon as I settled back on the bed, Adonis went out of the room and when he came back, he was with Eva. She ran to me and hugged me tightly.
"Ooh, I missed you Snickers," I laughed.
"I missed you too Eva," I looked up to see Adonis walking out of the door.
"You've been out for four days, and I was so scared I've lost you. I blamed myself for not protecting you enough"
"There was nothing you could do Eva" she pouted and hugged me back.
"Since you know what I am now, it'll be better if we part ways" I requested.
She smiled. "No Bella, I know it might sound weird but I'm like you. I didn't realize that for a while because my father tamed me in a crazy way. I guess he was protecting my sister who I didn't know was promised to the vampire King a long time ago"
"I don't understand," I confessed.
"Me too Bella. I have to go back to my home in Romania to find out what is really going on before I conclude anything. A part of me knows it is real, a part of me does" She added and it was my turn to hug her.
"If answered is what you seek, I think it'll be better if you follow your heart and stay safe wherever you get to, Eva, and always stay in touch with me"
"I'll call you, snickers and I'll be fine, not when the Vampire King and the sexy Marco will be accompanying me. Do you know his Italian turns me on?"
I laughed loudly.
"Don't you dare Eva?" I yelled at her.
"You can't say, girl. The weather on the plane might be too cold for him to handle"
"Get out" I laughed again.
"I'll see you again, Bella" I nodded as I was still laughing and waved as she walked out.
Adonis walked in as soon as she went out.
"Eva is leaving for Romania" I informed him.
"We'll also be leaving for Greece as well. I think it'll be better if you change location. It depends on you, Bella"
"I'll go," I affirmed before he could say anything else.
"Are you sure?"
I looked out through the window and wondered what was left for me in the states. It was better I start over again as a new being and at a new place.
It deserves to be the beginning of newer, better, and greater things.
