Thread: Forever Mine (Ava and Fates)

Isabella's heart was racing and threatened to burst forth from her chest, however, she was just as surprised when her host spoke. A barely audible sigh of relief escaped her lips. The green-eyed girl had no business with anyone else aside from the man before her. She watched as all left and the doors were closed leaving just the regal looking gentleman before her and herself. Again, she listened. They were no human. This she had come to witness for herself, while it was still unbelievable, the proof had been presented before her. Her family had told her stories about vampires creatures of the night. It was mostly used to scare children into staying in bed at night, but that was said to be but a myth. To believe that this handsome and well-mannered man before her lived off of blood, she would never have imagined him a vampire. That cold flesh and those equally cold eyes. I can find no footing to deny what you say. Her heart had steadied itself out. The man was fascinating and she had to admit, that he was rather charming. Again, it was a mere observation as he kissed her hand and left a glacial feeling reminding her that if she went through with this that she would be just like him. Your bride... She repeated in a soft whisper. Her bloodline would be gone, but going from human to one of them . It was a big change and one that there was no coming back from. Internally she weighed the pros and cons. I've more to gain, than lose than you may know by being your bride. However, I do not think that your companions would be so welcomed by that decision. Her lower lip trapped itself between her teeth as she found the offer harder and harder to refuse. I accept your kind offer, but forever is a long time. Would you really like me at your side for such a time? If he truly lived as long as he said, then surely he could have found someone before her. Perhaps they met untimely ends and she was just a fledgling to fill the empty space. Bella scolded herself. How could she judge a man that she barely knew? Jumping to such conclusions was a side effect of her nerves, but there were consequences that she still had to consider. And in exchange for that sweet sounding promise of youth, immortality, and freedom, there comes a price. Not only to be your bride but to live in death is to give up so many things. Tell me, do you not miss the warmth? I know that there is no turning back, and yet... That warm gaze looked down to where their hands joined before looking back up at the smooth-talking gentleman that promised her so much in exchange for her life and companionship. ... I think... that I'd rather be bound to you for all eternity, in death, than take my chances with my father in my mortal life. Soft pink lips formed the slightest of smiles before a barely audible laugh sounded. Besides, I highly doubt that I was going to be able to walk out of here alive if I said no. Despite the dark spoken conclusion, she smiled. Even now she could hardly believe it. The young woman could hardly believe that she ran into the arms of a person deemed a mythical being. While this promise of sweet things to come was nice, she was weary to remember her own words. While he held the physic of a man of power and strength, with a gentle tone of words, there could be more than she bargained for beneath that handsome visage. I am curious though... the base for your future bride was merely youth, beauty, and a glimpse of personality. Is but a few minutes truly enough time to know who you wish to spend an eternity with? What if she is horrible in bed or.... has never been bedded? Perhaps she snores? Another modest and low key laugh escaped her lips, My point being... are you sure I'm the one? The girl had to be mad. To convince him that she may not have been the one for him could seal her death in the most gruesome of manners, but again, perhaps curiosity would spare the cat. Regardless... I am yours. There was no hesitance in her voice and the fear was completely doused. Even in the face of death, it was a change, and change was what she desired most.
