Tryamon's POV
"Aethelfrith, what a captivating name for a captivating vampire" I said to Bella, still sipping my wine.
"Who's that?" Bella asked curiously.
"The half blooded vampire I met at the death anniversary dinner yesterday" I told her.
Bella raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued by my statement. She leaned in closer, her eyes shining with curiosity.
"Tell me more, Tryamon," she urged.
I took another sip of my wine, savoring the rich flavors before continuing.
"Aethelfrith is unlike any vampire I've encountered before," I began, a hint of excitement in my voice.
"His presence commanded attention from the moment he walked into the room. He exuded an air of mystery and allure."
Bella's interest grew, and she leaned even closer, her eyes widening.
"What was he like?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper.
"I didn't really see his face,he was behind me the whole time" I whispered to her.I
"I want him," I announced outloud.
"Just like that?" Bella asked with confusion written all over her face.
"Yes, just like that," I smiled.
"How will you find him?How do you know he is half blooded?" Bella asked curiously.
"I could sense he wasn't a full blooded vampire" I turned wine into my glass again.
"As for how I will find him, easy" I stood up from the chair and sat on the table.
"I will manipulate his dreams" I whispered to Bella
"You will do what?" She raised her voice.
"Manipulation of dreams is dangerous, Tryamon, you know that."
I shrugged off Bella's concerns, a mischievous glint in my eyes.
"Danger is my middle name, darling," I teased, flashing her a playful smile.
"But think about it," I continued, my voice dropping to a conspiratorial tone.
"If I can manipulate his dreams, I can create scenarios that will draw him to me. Plant the seeds of desire and curiosity in his subconscious, and he'll come seeking me out."
Bella's expression softened, her concern mixed with a hint of admiration.
"You always find a way, don't you?" she remarked.
I chuckled, running a finger along the rim of my wine glass.
"Of course, my dear. Someone of my caliber doesn't settle for less."
With that, I downed the rest of my wine, savoring the taste before rising from the table. Bella watched me intently, curiosity and excitement mingling in her eyes.
"I will find Aethelfrith, Bella," I declared, my voice filled with determination.
"And when I do, he'll become mine."
"But, you said he isn't full blood?" Bella asked.
"Yes,so?"
"Shouldn't you find someone of your kind?" She asked
"Bella darling,I just need you to trust me on this." I said, reassuring her.
As the days turned into weeks and then months, I continued my relentless pursuit of Aethelfrith through manipulating his dreams. I delved deeper into his subconscious, using my abilities to influence his thoughts and desires. I planted images, emotions, and ideas, subtly guiding him towards me.
Bella, my confidante and companion, grew increasingly concerned about my relentless pursuit of Aethelfrith. She questioned my motives and reminded me that he wasn't a full-blooded member of his kind. But I remained steadfast in my determination, assuring her that I knew what I was doing.
In the realm of dreams, I crafted scenarios that would draw Aethelfrith closer to me, painting vivid pictures of a future together. I manipulated his desires, awakening feelings he had never experienced before. I became his constant presence, a figure he couldn't shake off even in his waking hours.
But as the months passed, my efforts began to take a toll on both Aethelfrith and myself. His dreams became restless, haunted by my lingering presence. I could feel the strain on my powers, as if the very fabric of reality was resisting my manipulations. It was becoming increasingly clear that this relentless pursuit was not sustainable.
Bella, ever watchful and concerned for my well-being, pleaded with me to reconsider my course of action. She urged me to find someone of my own kind, someone who would be more compatible with me in every sense. But I couldn't let go of my vision, my determination to make Aethelfrith mine.
Have been pacing the room up and down since I woke up today
"Will you calm down?" Bella asked, drinking from her cup of tea. On the cue the doorbell rang.
"I will get it." I said excitedly, ran to get the package from the door.
"What's that?" Bella asked, immediately I entered the room with the package.
"It's a picture frame of Aethelfrith and I in the kitchen on the day of the anniversary" I explained to her.
"How did you take the picture?" Bella asked.
I smiled mischievously, "that's my little secret".
I took a pen and a piece of paper. I wrote on the piece of paper "Hi, Mr vampire, it's a beautiful piece, keep it well".
I picked up my phone, called a rider to deliver it to his address.
"Damm, girl, how do you even know his address?" Bella asked.
"I did some digging," I replied with a smirk.
"You know me, Bella, I'm resourceful. Plus, I have my ways of finding information."
Bella shook her head, clearly amazed by my determination.
"You never cease to surprise me," she said, chuckling.
"But seriously, be careful."
I shrugged off her concern, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness.
"Don't worry, Bella. I know how to handle myself. Besides, this is just a harmless gesture."
As we chatted, the rider arrived to pick up the package. I handed it over to him, along with the note I had written.
"Please make sure this gets to the recipient safely," I instructed, slipping him a generous tip.
Bella raised an eyebrow. "You're really going all out for this, aren't you?"
"Yep." I smiled.
"Let's go get a treat, we deserve one." I suggested it to Bella
We both arrived at the ice cream parlor. I opted for a mint chocolate flavored ice cream while Bella got vanilla peanut butter flavored Ice cream . We sat on our table enjoying our ice cream when I heard a very familiar voice call my name.
"Tyramon?"
I turned my eyes filled with curiosity,I recognized him, the man whose dreams I have been manipulating. He looked at me with his captivating eyes. We had a little Chit-Chat about our connection, his dream. I handed him a piece of paper with my number on it before leaving.
"Was that Aethelfrith?" Bella asked while driving.
I blushed "yes, that's him".
"Okay, okay" she said, chuckling.
"What do you plan on doing next?" Bella asked out of curiosity.
"Nothing," I replied nonchalantly.
"What do you mean nothing? You have come this far to do nothing" Bella gave me the are you serious look.
"I mean I gave him my number,the next is on him." Bella nodded her head in understanding. I sat more comfortably,and wore my seat belt I forgot to put on earlier.
As Bella drove, we both sat down in a comfortable silence, I couldn't help but wonder about Aethelfrith. I know for sure he was captivated by me but does he want me?
Would he call?
Would he want to see me again?
Would he think I'm a creep for manipulating his Dreams??
All these questions flooded my mind leaving me curious and impatient for what the future holds. Bella sensing my feelings at this very moment held my hand and smile, I smiled back using my eyes to thank her.
