True Blood by hima (classic literature list .txt) 📕

Yes… If I die then everything will be over once and for all. I closed my eyes waiting for him to finish what he was here for.

“Clever princess knew that she couldn’t outrun me,huh?” he smirked. I could feel him moving closer to me. He lifted me by pulling at my hair, I winced in pain but that was nothing comparing to what I did to Conan…I deserve everything. He bent over my neck and smelled, I was ready to feel the pain that he is going to inflict.

“No fun… In killing you so soon.”He said and threw me away. I hit the cave walls,blood began to ooze from the back of my head. “Run…princess. Make it fun for me…”He said with a vicious snarl. I gave a weak smile and stood motionless, I know I could run for a mile before falling unconscious but I don’t want to put up a fight, I want to be dead.

He was vexed seeing that I didn’t put up any fight. “Let’s just get over with her…” I heard another voice and I noticed for the first time another vampire standing against the walls of the cave.

He walked over to me in nick of a second. “Do you want the first bite?” The first vampire who wanted to torture me asked. I know that he was playing with me but I didn’t move or panick. The other vampire bent over me and pulled me and began to nibble on my neck and then I felt his sharp teeth stinging in. I could feel him sucking out my life, he was madly happy about the delicious liquid I offered him.

“Enough… give her to me…” The first one’s voice was demanding now. He withdrew his fangs unwillingly cursing his friend for denying him the tasty meal. He let me fall on the ground and kicked me towards his friend. That’s when I heard a loud growl and saw Joy pouncing at the first vampire. She made a nice blow but the second vampire was trying to attack her from the opposite side and threw her out into the forest. I gasped as she hit the tree. She stood up abruptly ready to act. I knew it’s going to be difficult for her with two vampires since she is still the younger wolf. I wanted to help her, I tried to stand, I caught the near by wall and used it’s support to stand up. As soon as I stood, my legs gave it away and I fell down. I stared at her helplessly, she was fighting a loosing battle.

“Please…Conan. Help her, she needs your help…” I prayed repeatedly. The first vampire caught her while the second one advanced towards her. I shut my eyes to stop seeing it. I heard near by tree shatter to the ground… I opened my eyes expecting the worse to happen and saw Conan striking each of the vampire feircely. I relaxed knowing that she would be safe. I could feel my strength leaving me. Conan killed them in nick of a second. He rushed towards her who now changed to human form and limping, she pointed towards me. He saw me covered in blood and rushed towards me, he took me in his laps.

“I’m sorry…” I mumbled when blackness consumed me.

I could see images of keetes and Conan flickering in my mind. I slowly opened my eyes to see that I was lying surrounded by wooden walls. I cursed myself for still being alive.

“She is awake…” I heard someone shouting. I tried to see who she was, I only saw her back and she was running out the door. I got up from the bed and my legs still felt weak and I started walking towards the door when I was blocked by some wall, Not wall… some person, I smelled the earthly scent and knew who it must be. I slowly raised my eyes to see Conan… tears were slipping through his eyes.

He picked me up and gave me a big bear like hug, he kissed me all over my face. I blushed at his sudden out burst. He must have realized it and put me down. “I’m sorry…” he said and put me down.

Joy walked in at the same instant, she hugged me tightly. In came another 10 members, They all towered over me like Conan and Joy.

“This is our family or our pack you can say.” Joy said introducing them. Sam, Jake, eddy, flint…I don’t remember other names that well. I just nodded and said hello to everyone. I felt weak and as I was about to pass out again, Conan caught me and carried me back to bed.

He gestured towards Joy and she went away while the others left too. Joy returned with a glass of blood, I frowned. We knew that it gives you strength so… she said. I nodded, Conan helped me to drink it. I relaxed on to the bed.

“Where am I?” I asked. “In our house…” she replied. “We couldn’t think of taking you elsewhere with your condition.” She said.

I nodded. “I’ll leave you two to talk…”she said and left. “I…I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have left you that way.” Conan said in a low voice. I didn’t know what to tell, “I’ll never do that again whatever your choice is.”he said. He sat there for a while taking my hands into his.

After a while Conan left and Joy walked in, “Hey, how are you feeling?”she cheered. “I’m healing…” I smiled. She looked at me as if she wanted to say something. “What is it? Say it.” I said.

“I don’t know what happened between you and bro but I just wanted to say this, he loves you a lot and he has gone through a lot to be with you. Just, give him a chance.” She pleaded.

“But…” “I know that you think you love Keetes…” she said cut me off. “I’m not thinking, I know it…”I tried to protest. “If you do then why did you let Conan kiss you, why did’t you stop him?Can you leave him for the other?” she asked. “You don’t have to give me the answer, just think it for yourself. “ she said giving me a weak smile.

Why didn’t I stop Conan? I mean I was blushing instead of reacting why is it so? Was I really in love with Keetes if not then How will I know whom I love? I know I don’t want to lose anyone of them. I was sure that I could live by but when I saw Conan hurting himself, I knew I couldn’t. It hurt me very much to see him hurt.

At regular intervals Conan peeped in through the door to see how I was doing, each time I saw him the questions tortured my mind. I figured that I should know who will be my best my partner. So, I started comparing them each. They both care about me; To make me happy they tried to sacrifice their love. Love, I could never say that one loves less than the other. I thought for a while to consider other factors. I couldn’t think about it. I sighed heavily as I’m getting no where.

“What happened?” Joy asked. “I was just…” “Trying to figure out what love is?”she asked. I nodded. “You don’t have to figure it out, It just happens and you will know when it happens, All I wanted to say is just give it sometime. Don’t rush into something…” I nodded. She is right, I’ll let time decide who is good for me.

Two days passed by and I felt strength return into my body by the regular intervals of blood I have taken. Conan’s home is built of wood, it’s huge. When I went out, I saw many people running here and there. Everyone stopped their work when I stepped out. All the pack’s families live here, There are some kids hurrying here and there. It almost felt like I was back to mortal world. When I turned sideways Conan stood beside me from nowhere. I saw a cute little girl scurrying towards us. I bent down towards her and asked what her name was. “Rose…” she said in her cute little voice. I picked her up and kissed her cheeks, she smiled and kissed me back. I played with her sometime when Joy came in.

“You finally met my daughter?”she asked. I frowned, Conan nodded. “You never told me about her…” I complained. “I thought I should just take you to her instead of telling you.”

“Who is your…” I stammered. “My mate? Austin. He is the second in command, I mean beta.”she said proudly “Where is he?” I asked. “He is out on a mission.” “What mission?” I asked. Conan went away by the time. “Conan asked him to make sure that your family members stay alive…”she said. She called Rose and she scurried to her. “Do you want to see around?” she asked. I nodded.

‘First,let’s give her a bath, Rose do you want to go to the pool?” she asked. “Yes,mama..” She took us to the pool, It’s just in the backyard of the house. I took plunge along with them,it felt good. Rose seemed to like me,she played with me all the time, she stayed in my room.

Conan’s pack members are friendly, they gave friendly gestures whenever they saw me. Their home is bigger than I expected, the house is divided into ten large parts one for each pack member and apart from that there is a huge common kitchen, dinning area and living room. I much less of him during my stay and his only excuse to it is that he had to run some errands.

Joy always took me with her whenever she went to the pool, I was never allowed to go further from it. I lost track of days, The war still went on but the good news is that there is great chance of us winning, that news made me feel better.

I taught Rose many poems that I learned from mortal world, she used to give performance after dinner when they all gathered in the living room. Soon children began to gather in my room to listen about the human life, they found it fascinating and their exclamations made it more interesting to tell. I enjoyed this very much. Sometimes they used to sleep in my quarters as I sang them my favorite tunes.

I noted something odd in these days, some of the children sat paired up always, they never oce sat differently and there is flint’s boy who is always hovering around Rose. Even Rose is particularly drawn towards him. It felt queer, I mean it’s not like they are in love, I mean they are just kids.


“hey,didn’t you sleep?” Conan asked as he saw me sitting wide awake. “You didn’t sleep…” “I was just going to bed and I usually come here to see you before I go to bed.”he said embarrassed.

“Do you want to go for a walk?”he asked after a while. I nodded. I tip –toed outside the room, careful not to wake Rose and Flint’s boy Jack who are asleep on the other side of my bed.

We walked silently to the pool and sat there for a while staring at the stars, I noticed two stars sitting very close so like Rose and Jack,
