SPELLBOUND

Thanks for waiting spellbounders. Today's quite hectic for me t@.@

Some time ago inside Gideon's room. 

The moment Vera opened her eyes, she found herself wrapped securely in Gideon's arms. Blinking, Vera exhaled as if she had wanted to fill her lungs with his scent. She wanted to imprint this wonderful masculine aroma into her memories. She remembered all the things that happened last night, and a sweet smile curved on her pretty face. She was blushing hard at the thought of all the things he had done to her, but even more so… those that she had done to him. But she knew in her heart that she would never, ever forget everything that had happened between them last night. It was a night to remember. A single night that would last her the rest of her life, and she would treasure that immensely.

But as soon as she remembered those heartbreaking moments, her eyes saddened. She leaned her head against his hard and warm chest and basked in the feel of him. If she could, she wanted to stay in his arms forever like this. That was her greatest wish. But she knew that she could not. It was an impossible wish for it to come true. She had also promised him that she would not bother him anymore after this one time, and she needed to keep that promise. 

It was breaking her heart all over again. She did not want to let go of him. She knew she can never let go of him anymore in her heart, no matter what happens. He had carved a place for himself deep within her and there was nothing that could cure her of his illness named Gideon. Nor did she wanted to be cured. But she needed to back off even if it hurts like hell. Because that was what he wanted. He had fulfilled her wish and stayed with her the entire night, giving all of him to her, and pleasuring her so immensely well. But now, it was time for her to fulfil his wish too. It was time for her to fulfil her end of the bargain. 

With a shaky sigh, Vera hugged him quietly, tightly, with all her heart for a long while before she pulled away from him. It was almost her undoing, needing to distance herself from him. Her heart felt so heavy. But if with her leaving him will make things better for him, she would do it even if it meant that her heart would continue hurting and bleeding. She would never want to add up to his sufferings anymore. He had enough sufferings as it was.

Once she freed herself from his arms, Vera looked at him. He looked so peaceful, like an angel in slumber – a dark angel, that is. The sight of him looking like he was in a blissful dream made her smile. It was amazing how just watching him sleeping so tranquilly was enough to make her heart flutter with such gladness. She wished that this person would not suffer so much anymore.

Vera bent forward and lightly planted a soft kiss on his forehead. 

"I love you, Gideon." she whispered. "I will love you forever. I will do as you wish… but I'm sorry that I can never give up on you. I will always be here, loving you... I just wish that there will be a day where you will let me stay beside you forever." 

And with a few more kisses on his forehead, Vera dragged herself off his bed and put on his robe. When she was at the door with her hand on the doorknob, she looked back for one last look at him and with a sad smile, she whispered a faint 'I love you' again and then shut the door closed behind her.

She shivered hard as she pushed herself away from the door and started walking away. Her heart was crying with every step she took that brought her farther away from his room, wishing and hoping with her whole being, that he would suddenly come out and chase after her. Wishing that last night might have caused him to change his mind and perhaps made him to want her by his side now. But he did not come running as she had hoped, and she could only smile even sadder. 

Slowly, Vera walked along the dim corridors. She had taken quite a number of deep breaths now and somehow, she managed to divert her mind to something else but her heart breaking situation. Knowing that thinking about her pain would not even do anything good for her, nor would it make Gideon want her more than just one night. 

Vera began to ponder about the things she heard from him last night. And the first person that came to her mind was Evie. What should she do? Vera told Gideon she would keep his secrets but… she wanted to do something for him. She would be willing to be hated by him if spilling out his secret to Evie was the only way to help him and save him. Vera realized that Gideon had been fighting all by himself all this while. Though she did not quite understand the whole thing he was talking about last night, she did understand that he was not planning to ask anyone to help him nor accept anyone's help. And she refused to just stand there and watch and shut her mouth like a mute. Though she knew she could not be of any help to him, as she was only human, Vera strongly believed that Evie would certainly be able to help. She had heard how Evie was very powerful and she believed in her. She believed that if it was anyone, Evie would be the one who could do something for him. 

Biting her nails as she continued walking along the corridor, Vera suddenly caught sight of Evie. It was so easy for her to spot Evie in the dimly lit corridor. Just one look at her silvery hair and she could tell it was her in an instant. Her friend, the angel of light.
