"I'm sorry mum, I know you have every right to resent me". Lila said with a snifle.
I don't resent you. Mrs Fraser stood up and pulled her daughter in to her embrace.
"I will never resent you for a mistake you made because of curiousity". Her mother whispered softly and Lila smiled as she tightened her hug on her mum. They hugged like that for what seems like forever before parting.
"Go and rest, while I prepare something for you to eat". Her mother said with a gentle smile and walked towards the kitchen.
"Mum, where is Evelyn?" Lila asked her mother calmly halting her mother's steps.
"She must have gone to the market". Her mother replied before entering the kitchen while Lila had a doubtful look. Something doesn't seems right with Evelyn. And she must find out that thing no matter what. With a small smile curved at the corner of her lips, she left the parlor and went to her room.
**********
Back at the river,
Evelyn was still standing there waiting for him. The Sun was already out casting it's golden hue in the sky. She rubbed her hands together as if calming her heart.
Since the moment he bit her neck, she had not only be worried but also scared of becoming something else. After waiting for a while and not seeing any signs of him, she decided to leave.
With that thought in mind, she turned her back and was about to take some steps when she heard his deep familiar masculine voice that sent ice chills down her spine.
"Leaving so soon?"
She froze on the spot, her heart thumping wildly and ferociously in her chest making it difficult to calm down. Her whole body was slowly heating up from inside.
The deep voice that spoke suddenly appeared in front of her causing her to step backwards and lose her balance and was about to fall when his strong powerful hands suddenly slid around her waist , hugging and preventing her from falling.
Evelyn's heart tumbled uncontrollably as her hands subconsciously wrapped around his strong firm neck.
Their eyes locked, creating a huge sparks around them. Evelyn's heart skipped multiple beats on recognizing that pair of silver eyes that always appear in her dreams.
Evelyn felt as though her heart was going to explode from her chest with the way he was staring at her with his deep silver eyes. His intense piercing gaze was so strong that she subconsciously bit her bottom lips. How could this be the silver eyes stranger that always appear in her dreams?
Though she hadn't seen his whole physique except his burning silver eyes that could see through her.
While she was lost in thoughts, she didn't realize the Silver eyes stranger was also staring at her with that look.
For some unknown reasons he couldn't hold, the moment he wrapped his hands around her waist, it was as if something deep from inside suddenly awaken from him as though he should protect her with his life on the line. He didn't know what to feel at that moment and kept staring at her until he saw her biting her bottom lip.
She was clearly nervous cause he could hear how loud her heart is pounding and if she is not careful, she couod have a high BP.
The two remained like that, with the silver eyes stranger tightening his hold around her waist firmly pressing their bodies together.
Evelyn gulped hard and nervously as she tried to wriggle free from him. But he was too strong, too strong and she could smell his strong intimidating aura that could make a mere human die of shock. But she didn't feel scared as her mind was focused on how to break free from him.
They didn't say anything. It was as if they were trying to figure out what the other person was thinking until Evelyn managed to break the deafening silence.
"Let me go".
The silver eyes stranger didn't answer and tightened his grip harder, putting more pressure.
Evelyn frowned hard as she was trying to be free from him. He was invading her privacy and also, does he want to choke her to death? Her eyes suddenly widened at that thought. And she knew he heard her thoughts cause she saw the displeased look in his silver eyes.
"If you let me go, I won't think anything negative about you." Evelyn said with a small voice. Her breath touched his face making him grunt inwardly.
So he slowly let go of her and said,
"Thank you for saving me".
Evelyn was stunned and awe. She couldn't believe what she just heard. Did he just thanked her for saving him?
"You heard right". He replied to her mind.
Evelyn suddenly shudder at the fact that he just replied to her mind question.
So she decided to tell him straight to his face and end this madness once and for all. He can't be appearing in her dreams and saying all those nasty things to her to seduce her. She was just a young maiden.
But first, how did he look like an handsome man all of a sudden? From a skeleton to an handsome man? She furrowed her brows in confusion.
"I drank three human blood to gain my appearance". He answered her thoughts again making Evelyn to clenched her fists tightly. The silver eyes stranger was amused, he love annoying her.
"Don't do that". She said warily.
I can't help it. So am I handsome? He asked her causing her to tilt her head sideway before finally staring at him from head to toe.
His hair was black and curly as a few strands fall on his eyebrows, his silver eyes looked so sharp and deep like that of a mysterious being. Well, that's if he is a mysterious being. His jaw was firm and sharp, and his lips were thin and looks so kissable,her cheeks flushed red in embarrassment for thinking naughty.
"Want me to kiss you?" He teased mischievously causing her to roll her eyes at him.
So she decided not to answer him and change the topic,
"How did you end up in the river?" She asked with a serious tone.
