PENELOPE

***PENELOPE’S P.O.V***

I was just thinking about it, sitting in my room crying when Myra came. “Hey gorgeous, come here, just come, what happened? Why are you crying like a lost puppy?” I went to her and then she just hugged me tightly as if she would not let anything happen to me.

“Myra, what is it that I have done that is wrong? I just don’t understand that and I just don’t get what is wrong with that. I know that I don’t remember anything, but I know the feeling of Devin.”

As soon as I took his name I started to cry more and more. “Hey, first of all, should you cry like this? Do you get that you should not be crying like this? Did you get that, and secondly, he doesn’t deserve it, so it’s good, ha, that he is not with you?”

“You don’t know Myra ge was very rude to me. It’s like he is protecting himself from me. I just can’t believe that the man I have craved for so long is acting like I don’t even exist for him. I am just a past which just happened. That’s it.”

I said. In the end, I don’t know what happened in the end between us, but the only thing that I know is that. It’s just not good the way he behaved. I know that I do have feelings for him and he just acted like I didn’t even exist. That is. That was his behaviour. It was not acceptable

“Look, my dear, first of all, stop crying. Don’t think about it at all, just relax and don’t think about it like that. I know one thing, that things are just like that. I just don’t care about that, I just know one thing, that it’s gonna be like, is.”

I took a deep breath and then looked at it. I know that it’s gonna be good and that is it. What is it gonna be like? It’s not that I just don’t get the view at all of why I am being punished and for what reason I am being punished.

“I just don’t know what it is that he had inside him. You are crying for that man. You know what. You should not be crying like that. Did you get that, just be confident enough. I know it’s just not easy, but just for once, do that, please and move on, Penelope.”

“It’s not easy, Myra, to just move on, it’s definitely not easy at all, it just causes so much pain that it’s happening. I just can’t let this thing go and I feel it’s just not easy.”

I was just crying and telling Myra that, yes, I don’t have any memory, but I do have this feeling that I love him and I just love him a lot and I want to be with him at least or I want to know the reason behind it all. Why does it just happen and why is he behaving like that?

“No Penelope, you are wrong. You do have a very big advantage, through which you can just forgive this stuff and, that is, you don’t remember anything. You know Penelope. When this happened to me. I remember everything. Yes, remember that feeling is not gonna go away but, at least, you don’t have any memories that will pinch you.”

Pearl, I saw the tears in her eyes that she was hurt and she was just trying to process the stuff. She is just trying to make the stuff like okay, even if it happens it’s just alright it’s gonna be good and we are not gonna change that at all.

“Pearl, it’s just that I don’t know what to do.”

“I am telling you babe what you have to do here again. You are like you don’t know what to do.”

Myra said in an angry tone to me then Pearl said

“No decide it’s gonna be what she will decide to listen to, it’s not about what you want or what you want, it’s just about how it has to be at the end and it’s gonna be absolutely fine, trust me on this.”

I was looking at Pearl. She had so much pain in her voice as she was just saying it and. How I was crying for him so much. How could I be so much like that?

“I am sorry, Pearl, that I was crying like a stupid one here. I should have seen it that you have also suffered and how you have coped with that. Here I am doing this stuff that I couldn’t live without him. You are right. I have to move on.”

I said this to myself, whatever it’s gonna. Be and however it’s gonna be, but this is just the fact. I just know one thing very clearly, that this is how it’s gonna be.

“Wait, my dear, you know Penelope what has happened to me. I should think that because, just because of you, I was able to cope with that just because of you.”

I was shocked when I heard that. I just don’t know how, but this is how it is. What I don't have. I just don’t know.

“What has happened, Pearl? What did I do to you? I didn’t understand that,” I asked her. I wanted to know what had happened and what was the case.

“Penelope, I was in love with Drake like a crazy one even when you came and told me that he had been cheating on me. I was not ready to accept that at all. I just had that thing in my head about how come he could do anything.”

She said and then suddenly started to cry. I went to her and then tried to calm her down. I was looking at her. What had suddenly happened to her? She is in so much pain. God, what is it?

“Pearl, are you okay? Looking at me? Are you okay? It’s okay if you don’t want to tell me I am completely fine with that also, but please just don’t cry at all, please Pearl.”

I said, I just can’t see her crying like this at all. She is my sister and seeing her like this breaks my heart. I can’t see her like this at all.

“No you need to hear this, and then you tried to tell me the truth that he made a girl pregnant and then started to blackmail her to not tell anything to anyone. I else he would kill her. I didn’t even believe that I was about to marry him, but when he was a bachelor, his bachelor, you exposed it to me that he was lying. He just said it from his own mouth.”

She was continuously crying while saying that it was just a good idea at all, seeing her like that. I just don’t know what else we have to do. I just don’t know, I want this badly to just go there and just smack his face.

“You know what, Penelope, definitely Devin doesn’t want you now, but he was the one who was with you when no one trusted you and the reason for yours and Blair was because he trusted his brother, as he trusted my fiancé. No one trusted you apart from him.”

I was all alone and at that time he was with me. When no one was there, he stood by me like a shield, who was never gonna leave me alone. Like never in the rest of my life, I wiped my tears. No, I have to work myself.

“Yeah, she is absolutely right. Even then, this was all he switched with you when you were alone, even because I was not ready to trust you, because I thought that the man I know was more trustworthy than that thing. I was wrong.”

Myra said, Devin," If you are so great that when no one was with me you were, then why not now, why so much away from me now, when you can be with me now. Also, what is the reason?

Why, after all this, do I also have this feeling that he is doing this to support me and not to throw me away from him? I just have this feeling?

“Even though he tried to kill you, thanks to Devin, he didn’t achieve success in that, he was great. He had always done that. I know that very well and that is it. That is how it’s gonna be, that is it, but at the same time, you should be away from him, Penelope. If he wants it, then that is it.”

. Pearl told me to still stay away from him. I just don’t get it at all. What the hell is it? I will learn it. I will find out about it. That is it. I will make sure that it happens. I will make sure that I know the truth. It is it. He just didn’t like it at all. He was sweet, but now he is not sure how these things can change so rapidly and why this just happened.

“Don’t worry Pearl, and please just don’t cry like this, I can’t see you like this.” I said, and then I smiled at her. I took a deep breath. It was a big day. Then, after a while of talking, I lay down on the bed.

Why does it feel that you are different? There is not just one thing but a lot of stuff happening and that is why I just don’t know how to do that?

Next day

I got up and then made my way to the wShrroom I got ready and then came out for the college e

Myra was with me. “So is my sister okay now or do you still want to cry for him or something else, because if you wanna do that want to, I will punch him.”

I love that, it has Myra who is definitely the best sister. I’m very very grateful that I have foreland her to just always standby me and just make sure that I will always be happy. They can’t see me crying, but at the same time, I just can’t stop thinking about what he had done and how he had done that.

“Definitely don’t you worry about that at all. I know that you must be thinking about what happened and how you are going to face what happens or any other stuff. But locate me, my dear. You don’t have to worry about any of the things, okay. You are with you okay and he is just an asshole you don’t have to worry about it.”

“Thank you so much if it had not been you or mom and dad or bowl then I don’t know what would have happened to me after that and I say I would have left all alone. Thank you so much for accepting me into your family.”

She came to me and then hugged me tightly. She looked at me, and she shed a few tears. She just vibrates, and then how do we once more and then look into my eyes and say “ you are already my family. You know from the beginning, you were my family were always there, even if it was for me or for everyone else in the family. It was something that we knew but we were not saying and one more thing we don’t do every day is to say this again.”

I smiled at her. She is definitely the best. She just knows how to handle me at the best. I don’t know what I would be doing without her.

“Thanks Myra, you know what. I don’t know how it would have happened without you. Nothing would have happened that had been good. Everything had just been like hell. The best thing was just you were there talking to me every time I was struggling, making me feel comfortable.”

I said, and then I looked at her. I got a few tears in my eyes when her eyes changed and she looked in another direction. I turned and then looked there.

Devin, who is him with his hands wrapped on his shoulders, they were so close it just felt so much pain to see that stuff. I took a deep breath.

Myra put her hand on my shoulder and then I looked at her. “Don’t think about it much, okay, just relax and just ignore this. What it was, just ignore it, don’t think about it at all, it’s just waste.”

She said nodded at her. I wanted to cry badly, but I am just not able to do that, I am just not able to do that at all. How come this could happen?

How come he can just move on like that? He was there with me. He was just talking and then now that I just don’t get this at all, he just has a new one here now.

“Come or else we will get Kate for the class.”

Myra said and then we made our way there. I sat down and then he came. They sat with his chicks. They were just. I just could not see what the hell was going on.

I don’t understand how come he can be so they are just making out here and how come, not even for once.

I got up in the class and then made my way out of the class. I was breathing heavily. I just can’t believe this ho scold he can be like this just moving on with someone else here I was just trying to make it correct

I sat in my car and then made my way to the forest. This place. My car had just stopped in the middle of the road. I got out of the car and was just looking at it when I felt like something was coming towards me. I started to run away from it and then I just fell in the forest. I started to scream

“Please let someone there tell me someone is someone there. Please just help me please.”

No voice. I felt like I was hearing it all again. I got up and then ran as fast as I could and then I saw a hut. I made my way inside that place and then made my way there.

“What is it? I just don’t have any way at all. I want to go away. Please help me, please, someone help me, please just. Someone does something. There is someone there.”

I was sitting there and was just panicking when I got up. I should leave if it was night. Then it would cause more and more problems.

I tried to open the door but it was just not happening. The door didn’t open at all.

Why is this not opening? What is it, what’s going on here? Why is it just not opening? “is someone there. I don’t know what has happened. Why is this not opening? Please someone open this door, please do that.”

I tried to open the door. I was struggling with it, but damn the hell, it is not opening. I started to panic. Then I saw smoke. No no, I don’t want to die. How come this thing could. Caught smoking did someone do this on purpose?

I was continuously banging on the door but it was still closed, then the hole got filled with smoke. I suffocated. I tried to calm myself down but I was just not able to do that. I have to calm myself, I just have to do that.

I have to in a while someone will come and save me and the slowly I started to feel like I will fall I fall on the floor being useless I am not able to do anything

The moment when I lost hope, the door just opened and Devin, he is here “Devin.” Not more then a mummer, I said, and he looked at me. He cried. He had tears in his eyes. Looking at him like that just reminded me of something, as if I knew something.

I was just looking into his eyes and I was lost there. He came close to me, wrapped his jacket around me and then took me out. How come he is? No, he is not a normal human being.

I can see it has happened before. Also, in the same way, he saved me. I did that and he came and then to protect me he did that. He took this creature. He is not one. Human he is a vampire

So, this was the thing that he was “Devin.” I said he looked at me and then as soon as he brought me out he put me in the ground and then start to rub my hand I was just looking at him who was so concerned for me like hell he was just trying to make sure that I wake up

But I did not wake up even though I was trying so hard. I was not able to do it at any moment. It was like I could only think but not act.

I was looking at him continuously, then he looked at me in my eyes and said “What were you thinking? How can you be so stupid to come to this place? This is the same place where I lost you and now again you are here. Why do you have to do this to me? I know how important you are to me.”

He said that I was important to him. I am very important to him. He loves me. He just loves me. Yes, he said that he couldn’t see me like that. He can’t see that I am getting hurt by any of the ways.

“I am Devin,” I said, and then he looked at me.

“No, oh. You are just not and this is what you have been doing to just hurt me. You wanted to know the truth. Now you know that I am a vampire. You should be running away from me, Penelope. I am a vampire. I will kill you.”

I smiled at him. He was talking about killing. He can just never do that. He can never ever kill me.

“You can never do that, Devin. You only want to see me healthy and good. That is all that you want, Devi, and stop lying now and again and again. I am not afraid of you why I will be the man I thought turns out to be how I thought he was.”

He looked at me and then took me up in bridal style. He took me to a cave and then put me in there. I was just resting there.

“No Penelope, you are just not understanding that this is just not the case. The thing is that I am a monster and a monster can kill you. Do you know what? Does a vampire eat or what is their favourite meal? Do you have any idea whether it’s human blood?”

I started to laugh at it. What does he thinks that I will get scared of it. No, I will not and I will just never get scared because of it. I know that it’s just ridiculous. I don’t understand any of the stuff now.

“Look, I know how it is and how back it could have been, but I just wanted to let you know that I am not going anywhere and if you think that you will say that vampires drink human blood, then let me tell you that, it’s just not gonna happen because if you wanted you could have already had it.”

He got angry and then started to look at the other side. I knew that he was gonna do it like that. I was not able to stand, but still, I did my best to stand and then I made him look at me.

“What do you want, huh? Have already you already suffered because of me and here you are now wanting more for yourself you. Let me be clear with you that I don’t want that to happen to you if that. I am just not a good man for you. Why don’t you get this?”

I just hugged him. I know that he is thinking irrationally. He has thought about something. That’s why he is acting like that just because he is a vampire. I am not going to go away from him. I know that he loves me a lot.

“I am good look at me just because of a past you just could not let me go and then let me be like or just leave me like I am no one you can’t do that at all did you get that, I love you Devin you know even though I don’t remember anything I just want that you will stay with me please Devin don’t do that.”

He looked at me in anger and then touched me Ina. The very angry way he looked at me. He touched me.

“Don’t you ever do that, Penelope. I am trying to protect you. I am just doing this for you. You know what, it’s gonna be great if you would just let it go. Just let me go.”

He said," I don’t know what it is and what the thing needs, but what I know is that I do need him. I love him a lot, I just love him a lot and I will just not let him go away like

“You know what it is, Devin, I am not gonna leave it on like that. It is. Did you get that,? Look at me Devin, what are you seeing here, loon in my eyes? You know what. It is. It is love and I know that the girl who was there was also just an acting actor.”

He made me look at him. I was angry in me.

“Look Penelope, you have no idea about what it is, you just don’t know what it is this time. The fear is not small, it’s very complicated now and I don’t want to make it more or more complicated. Because you listen, you know what you see in me. If you want to save your life, then just stay away from me.”

No, I can’t just let him go and let it be like that. I just don’t want it like that at all.

“No no, Devin, if you are suffering, then I am going to be in that suffering for you I am. I am not gonna leave you alone. What do you think about this heart, huh, even though I don’t remember anything every single time, it just makes me feel that I want you. That’s why you got that .”

I got tears in my eyes. I just know that at any cost I am not gonna let it all be like that. I don’t know, yes. I don’t have any memory at all, but at the same time, I just feel that pain.

“Pain is just about your pain and what about your pain, in which I have to see you? Do you know what, Penelope, because of you, I have been through a lot. You know why my father is lying on his death bed because of the werewolf. Maybe who is your friend did that to him and I am not able to cure him.”

My friend whom he is referring to, Yes, I do talk to everyone in the college but no one is my friend. It’s just my family who is important to me. That is because there is no one else who is important to me.

“Who are you talking about, Devin? I barely do have any friends and who is it who did what I just don’t understand anything at all.” I don’t really understand what. Does he means.

“Let it be Penelope, I want you to get involved in this. Now I have protected you and now I just want to say that do one thing, just stay away from me as much as you can if you get that.”

He said in a very angry voice. I know that he just wants to protect me and he is not gonna say anything at all, he is not going to do anything at all and I know that you have to be with him. He needs me.

“Okay Devin, if you want, then I am going right now, but I am not going to go away from you as much as you want. You can keep your distance and I will try my best to be with you and to make you mine.”

I said it and then made my way out of the cave.

I reached my home. Myra came to me and then looked at me. Hey, what is it? You came home late, man. You were not even in college. Huh, what is the scene with you?”

“Nothing, Myra, I just am not in a mood right now, that’s it.” I said, and then I was going to my room when she held my hand and then made me look at her when I said out of pain.

“Ouch.”

“It’s a burn how this happened to you?”

“A burn. What is it? How did it happen? Show me what. It was showing me.” I looked at her and then at me. It would have happened when I was in the hut, but mom also came to hear it. She was also scared to see that, yeah, it was some sort of big thing, but still

“No wait, I am good and mom too, it’s not too big. I am absolutely right. I like I am a good mom.”

“No it is not just look at your arm, just go through it once and then it’s just not a big deal you are saying that,. Come, come here, sit down.” She said that and then I looked at them extremely, knowing that they were extremely worried, but what am I supposed to do now?

Mom looked at it and then,. She did first aid. She was in a lot of pain. She was in so much pain just looking at me.

“Wait, how did this happen to you? Huh tell me how this happened?”

“Actually, I went to the forest and I got stuck in it. That and then this just happened. It was just burning. I was near it, so it just might have happened while saving the dog. I am sorry.”

I lied. I told half of the truth. I don’t want to lie about anything from them at all, but at the same time, what I do want is that they will not get too much worry.

“How come we will not worry about it tell me loon at it and sometimes you just have to, be careful okay did you get that.”

I smiled at them and then I said “I will not do that, I am sure of god and that is it. Just trust me on this and there is gonna be no worry now about it. I will take care of all the stuff, okay and sorry mom, sorry Myra.”

“You know what you don’t have to worry about, Mom, look at me. Now I am taking the responsibility of taking care of everything. Okay, I will do that.”

Myra said and then I smiled at him," I am glad that I have got a family like them.

“Yeah, I want that, and I promise you that if you do that, then I will for sure reward you with that.”

“Thank you so much Myra for that.” I got up and then mom said

“Now go and rest in the room. Okay, just relax. Don’t worry about anything. I will send the meal upstairs.”

She said and then I made my way upstairs, I went to my bed and then lay down there. It was a very big day. I didn’t think much, but today a good thing happened. I learned that he loves me a lot and I am glad that happened.

Who will this be? I just don’t get that. A werewolf. I just have no idea about that at all. Who is and Devin’s father? I do have to ask someone who really knows what it is and who will help me with it, but who can it be who will do it.

I have to think about it more carefully. I just have to do that. Who can that be who is close to him and knows it?

TO BE CONTINUED...
