my best friend. It was comforting.
“I sensed her pain as I was walking by the house.” She said to Eric.
“ Her pain?” Eric asked as he took quick look over me. He was looking for any thing that I might have hurt. Not physical pain my King. Emotional.
Eric lowered his head and looked a t the floor. “I know. I am truly sorry about that Maggie. We haven t had the best day today.”
She cleared her throat and spoke to Eric very bluntly. “Eric you have to fix whatever happened.”
Eric looked at her, obviously confused by her statement. “I had planned on it. That was why I was on my way over here.” He replied to her with a shamed look on his angelic face.
“ No, Eric. You do not understand. Her heart is breaking. If you don’t fix this soon, I’m not totally sure what will become of our fair Queen here.”
I couldn ’t help but to look at him. She was right. The thought of Eric not wanting to be with me had triggered some kind of reaction. It was intense. Eric not talking to me had really hurt me. It hurt in a way that I had never felt before. Like my entire existence would be over without him and my life force was being sucked right out of me.
My world spun out of control when he wasn’t near. I had to be with him. I couldn’t live and be without him. No way. It just wasn’t possible and I could feel it in my body.
“ Please, Eric.” Maggie said. “It hurts so much. I can’t stand it.” She said as she clutched at her chest. Tears fell from my eyes.
He immediately sat on the bed and grabbed me up into a tight embrace. He held me closer to him that he ever had. The warmth of his body was breaking the icy shell that started forming around my heart.
“I don’t know what I was thinking.” He said.
“ You apparently weren’t thinking at all.” I said as I cried into his shoulder.
Maggie left the room to give us a little privacy. Not like it was going to help. I knew what she was now. An empath. This was sure shaping up to be a long day. A vampire and an empath all in the same day. I feel so blessed, I thought to myself sarcastically.
Eric apologized for acting so childish about Silas. I explained to him that I wasn’t attracted to him like he thought I was. I was more intrigued by him. It was just a natural reaction to him. He was different and I wanted to know more about him and the way he lives.
The attraction part was no t totally the truth, but he didn’t need to know that. The feeling was harmless, I had no intentions on acting on it, and it wasn’t an attraction like he had thought. I would not dare risk losing Eric over a vampire.
After we talked a bit more, Eric called for Maggie to come back in. She entered gracefully with a relieved look to her. Smiles went around to each other as we sat there for a slight moment.
“So why were you in the neighborhood?” Eric asked her.
“ I was actually coming to see you. I have been hearing some things that have made me a pinch uneasy.” Maggie said. When she was certain that she had our undivided attention, she told us why.
Evidently, there had been a meeting between the Dark Union. The topic of attacking the Circle of Light was the major discussion. The high powers of the Union had summoned anyone that was willing to be a part of it. From what I understood, many had answered the request.
“Why do they want to attack us?” I asked entirely ignorant of the reasoning behind it.
“ Well. They want to break the Circle of Light. To rule both worlds and bring darkness to this one. With your Circle complete, they fear they will all be hunted and killed, or that's what the higher powers are telling everyone else.” She said painfully.
I stayed silent. Waiting for Eric to say something. He nodded his head and told us that we must alert the other members of the Circle. We all agreed.
