Dear Diary,
Last night he came to me but he did not touch me or drink from me. He just asked me to drink from him, so that I have strength for our journey. I asked him where we are going and he said we will travel to another city.
I have never gone away from here! Will I ever see my parents again? I am a bit worried but he said he knows some of our kind there that we can visit. I asked him, how we will travel and, looking at me really strangely, he said 'on feet of course'. That must be really tiring but I trust him. I love him so much. I asked him what do I need to take with me and he told me I should take only my clothes and whatever I can fit in a bag. Then I sunk my teeth in his neck and drank from him and he was moaning, like he does when we make love. This got me so excited. I started touching him but he limited my hands and pushed my mouth deeper in his flesh. I drank and I drank and I thought I could never feel the ecstasy without making love but I did! It was incredible! I am wondering if this is how it feels only with him or I can have this by drinking from other people also. The animals do not have this effect on me.
Well, my dear diary, I suppose this is where I stop sharing my story with you for now. I will take you to the lady in the morning. I hope to find you again in the future. I love you, dear diary. I hope you will keep my secrets restrained from bad people.
A kiss for you…
Mary Anna
This is for anyone that may read this in the future…
Dear Reader,
I hope you do not misjudge me for the decision I made. I made it with full consciousness; actually I had no choice. This man was my destiny and I hope to have a good and long life with him! I wish the same for you…
Yours sincerely,
Mary Anna
Wow! She must have loved him so much. I really need to find Aisha and ask her who Mary Anna and this man were and what happened to them. I am very curious now. So this is what turning to a vampire is like… Does Kellan actually love Alicia now? Will he mind that I hurt her before? If he does love her, will I be ever able to accept that? As I am completely lost in these thoughts I feel somebody enter the shop.
I stand up to go help him out. He turns to face me and I see that he is very different than any man I have ever seen before. His hair is so blonde, almost white and his skin in very pale. His eyes are light blue and very shiny and his lips are thin but delicate and beautiful. He looks like a Norwegian God! I have never seen a man so blonde and pale before. He looks almost transparent. He is thin but very muscular and his body looks strong. I stand there admiring him for a while until he looks at me inquisitively.
"How may I help you?" I say.
He speaks and his voice is also faint and light and soft, wonderful! He speaks as if whispering a song and I can’t help but wondering what type of creature he is. He is not mortal for sure! "I came to find you! They informed me well…"
"Who?"
"My people!"
"Who are your people?"
"Fairies of the sun and the wind…"
"You are a fairy?"
"Yes."
"There are male fairies?"
"Of course!" Now he is looking at me like I am an i***t. I am sure he is wondering if I am any good as he thought I would be.
"They told me you turned out to be exquisite and unique. Indeed, they are correct!"
I am blushing. "I am nothing special, thank you. So what can I do for you?"
"The question is what I can do for YOU my Queen!"
Oh, the queen thing again. I say, "Perhaps you can talk to me about our nature. Nobody is really telling me what I need to know, but not here and not now! I don’t want my boss to find you here, and I need to go home and get ready. There is something I need to do tonight."
"Very well, my queen," he says. "When would you like to talk?"
"Are you living here, in town?"
"For as long as I am needed, of course!"
"Maybe we can meet on Sunday?"
"Fine, my queen. Just call me and I will come to you."
"What is your name then? And what are you?"
He smiles at me and bows. "My name is Elijah and I am a Sylph."
"Elijah, like the prophet?"
"Yes my Queen."
I know Mark will be here any minute, but curiosity gets the better of me. I ask, "What is a Sylph?"
"A Sylph is an air spirit. We are bright spirits as clouds. We can be found anywhere in nature. Especially during the day…"
"So where do you come from?"
"Greece."
"Oh!" I say, happy to meet someone from home.
"I will tell you everything you need to know. I am your messenger. Just get in nature and call out my name. I will be there for you."
"Ok. Thank you. I will see you on Sunday."
"My regards, my queen." He bows again and kisses my hand.
I guess this is how he pays his respects…Charming! Just like that he is gone and I wonder what his role will be in this big mess of people and creatures that have popped up lately in my life. I used to be such a lonely person but nowadays I cannot find a few hours of peace…
Mark enters the shop and informs me that I can go. I work again on Monday at ten in the morning. We say our goodbyes and I am off for hopefully the best weekend of my life.
When I get home I find my dad ready to leave for the pub. He says he was waiting for me to give me a big hug, a sweet kiss and some cash for my trip. I can’t help but smiling, thinking how money will be useless on the mountain, but I hug him back thanking him and whispering that I love him so much. And off he goes…
