Hey everyone! This is a new story about Te'ijal and Galahad again. It takes place when Te'ijal gets captured by Gyendal.
In this chapter I'll be discussing Te'ijal's feelings. The next one is going to be about Galahad. :) It's fluffy for these two but I love fluff so deal with it haha. I really believe that she really loves him and he loves her too but they are just too stubborn to admit it to each other.
Inspired by : Queen-of-Ice101 "What Was Lost"
Also shout out to Purpuhl. Thanks for the support. :)
Enjoy! ^_^ (Sorry for any mistakes!)
How I Feel : Chapter 1
The highest room of the keep was cold and dark. Not that Te'ijal cared though. The big window was wide open, the light cold air chilling her. The night was silent, only an owl could be heard... She felt lonely.
The tight ropes were bringing pain to her body. She tried to break free but it was impossible. There was no escape.
She had about an hour left. Unfortunately that gave her time to think. There were so many things in her head. However, Te'ijal didn't feel like discussing any of her thoughts with herself.
That was it. The end was coming and her life would end. Well, technically she was already dead, but this was different. In less than an hour she will be gone. Forever...
The sun would destroy her. She would experience the most slow and painful death. However that didn't matter to her at all. It was something else that she cared about.
She was thinking of this smile. That evil smile her brother had when he said to his thugs to tie her up. Her mind returned to that moment.
As Galahad tossed another useless book aside, she tried to concentrate in the passage.
This book was interesting. Te'ijal was sure that she could figure out some things out of it.
Galahad gave a sigh.
"There's nothing here."
Her eyes widened as she read the last lines for the fifth time.
"Husband, come read this. I think I found it."
He approached looking at the passage with confusion.
She pointed at the last lines with her finger.
"Look here. It says 'If I run out of power during the casting, I can tap another.' I think.."
Before she could finish footsteps were heard and everything around froze.
He was there.
His thugs held her tight, not letting her escape.
"Did you miss me sister?"
"Gyendal! How regrettable." She exclaimed.
The vampire next to her hissed. He placed his hand violently on her neck. She couldn't breathe.
"How dare you speak to the Lord of Twilight thusly! My lord, may I stake her now?"
Gyendal's face twisted.
'He can't say yes..' She thought desparately.
"No.." He smiled and his thug dropped his hand from her neck. She coughed and tried to take a breath.
"Tie her up next to the largest window you can find. I want her to have a slow and painful death."
Te'ijal froze.
She looked him in the eyes and tried to hold back tears.
"Gyendal.." She murmured.
What had her brother become?
"Now go! Take her away!" He shouted coldly.
The vampires started dragging her with them. She tried to reach for some holy water she had but she couldn't reach it. They were holding her tight.
She glanced at Galahad. His expression a blur, staring in her eyes. There were so many emotions. Remorse, anger, worry... and something else. Actually something different, washed over his face. Something she had never seen the 300 years they had been together.
And that was caring.
And now she was waiting here.
She was - and had almost always been - alone, hated and abandoned.
Not only by her own brother but also by the only man she had ever loved.
'How could he?'
Well, Gyendal and her never had the best relationship but... they were siblings after all. They were family.
'But that doesn't matter to him, does it?' She thought with a pained small smile.
She had never imagined that he would do such thing. That he would do something like this to her. He hated her so much?
She didn't want to think about him. Gyendal was a complicated situation like he had always been.
The time was moving fast. The dark was starting to fade. She tried to get comfortable in the stone. The room was already getting warmer.
The only thing she cared about now was... Galahad.
Her expression pained. She lowered her head and struggled not to think about him.
How could she not think about him?
Galahad was everything to her either she wanted to admit it or not. He was all she had left but now he was - not suprising - gone too.
"Do you really hate me this much?" She murmured.
A tear slipped down her face.
Of course she didn't expect him to stay but... he made his decision too easily. Was she that horrible? That cruel? She couldn't know.
Well, he would be finally free. Finally happy. Without her…
That thought made her smile.
After all those failed tries to escape, now the chance was given to him. And he would certainly take it.
He would be happy. That was enough for her. She loved him and did want to be with him but... if he was happy - or at least happier -without her, so be it.
Galahad had at least escaped the danger for now and that made her relieved.
On the other hand, had 300 years with her done nothing to him?
No.
Something inside her mind started talking like it wanted to torment her even more.
Words… harsh words rang in her head.
Why are you always running after him?
He doesn't care.
He doesn't love you.
He wishes you dead.
She leaned back, supporting her head in the hard wall.
"I know.." She murmured to herself.
It felt like someone had staked her. The more she thought of it the more she wanted to die, even if she already knew it. Galahad was right about her. She was a monster.
The tears were falling. She didn't like getting emotional but it hurt. Not the ropes... something else.
"I deserve this."
The sun started rising. She had a few minutes left though.
She closed her eyes shut, the cold air chilling her tears. There was nothing to be happy about. She didn't prove her love for him through her actions. If only she could do it, before she perished.
Another tear slipped down her face.
No, not because she would die.
Because she wished, she could see him one last time. To apologise and tell him how much he truly means to her, even if he wouldn't believe it.
The sun would be facing her in a few minutes. She shut her eyes closed, her cheeks streaked with tears.
She murmured something last to herself.
"I'm sorry Galahad.. for everything. I never have told you the truth but... I love you. So much."
P.S. If you think vampires can't breathe just tell me. In my mind they can lol.
