32 How long will you love me?

Faeries? Wolves? Vampyres?!

Her shocked round eyes stared at his probing ones.

"Me? A faerie?" Then she remembered the girl in the bubble. "Do you mean the other girl?"

"Yes and no. You are the faerie. And that girl is your spirit."

Rick is confused. First there's magic, then creatures, then her spirit?

"If it's too much we can continue tomorrow." Cedric offered.

She shook her head negatively. With all these information how can her mind even rest.

"Start from the very start."

He look at her deeply, checking if she really is ready. When he saw how determined she is , he started to tell her the story, from the existence of the magical creatures, the arrival of the 13 wizards. The tragic love of his ancestor and his muse, the curse, and the mystery on his bloodline that is bearing women alone before he came, and how the parents leave this world leaving only diaries.

How she was born, and was tried to be killed several times by The Order. Before having her spirit separated to seal her powers. And eventually having her controlled by the heir to The Order through marriage.

When he stopped, it was already deep into the night. Franchesca listened carefully, not saying anything along the way. She doesn't want to miss any detail.

So that is his vampyre bloodline. He finally has the full magical powers of his wizard ancestor, and the strength and immortality of the oldest vampyre that had lived. Since he is not the one to give birth, it would seem the curse of dying after giving birth will not affect him, however would it mean he gets to live forever?

How about her? She will get old and die someday? Will he choose another girl when she passed on?

On the other side, Cedric cannot tell what she thinks of at all. He can read any other person's thoughts, he can even smell their character. But with the girl in front of him, he cannot at all.

So he can only read her expressions, which thankfully is transparent enough. If she learned how to do pokerface, her mind will be completely impervious.

Thus, to be clear, he could only ask. "What are you thinking?"

She tilt her head to the side, making her look like a little porcelain doll specially with her white laced dress.

"I was wondering, since you're powerful and immortal too, if you would find another girl when I'm no longer here..." she let her voice trail off, as it filled with uncertainty.

To her surprise and annoyance, he laughed out loud.

"Come here."

Rick stood up and came across him when he suddenly pulled her into his lap. She yelp in surprise.

"Silly girl. So many things to ask yet you worry about that." He hugged her closer and she buried her face in the crook of his neck.

Yeah...isn't she worried that he might bite her to death? He's a vampyre after all. She didn't even asked what about her family and the faeries. She even seemed to have forgotten about the wolves...

But the worry in her heart remained the same.

"Aren't you going to ask about you? As a faerie?" Can't she wonder how to get her spirit back? Or how to defeat The Order?

"If it won't make me live as long as you do, does it matter?" She asked him flatly.

She has lived her happiest moments with him in her dreams. All her youth, she has only wished for him to be real. Everytime she woke up then, she always wish she didn't open her eyes.

Who wants to live a life with parents who doesn't want her? And a brother that regrets having her?

Now she even found out that they want her to marry Marco for their personal gains. To annihilate the curse. She would have been dead the moment she was born if they had the means.

The only person who had cared enough to save her is facing her at this moment. And the only care she has now is to know how long will he love her.
