Chapter 3 Siblings' love

I walk down the basement, looking for my brother and I find him next to her coffin, looking at her with a small smile on his face.

Noticing my arrive he looks my way, still in his work black suite, looking elegant as usual, his eyes look sad, I frown at that. I look at the beautiful woman in the coffin, she still looks the same, beautiful heavy curls, full lips and tan skin tone as ever, Aurelia is an epitome of beauty, I see why my brothers fell in love with her instantly.

"You like her in this form better," I state, but my brother shakes his head.

"I love her in whatever form she takes. It's her soul I love most," I nod, she is so lucky to have someone cherish you as Theodore does, it is a blessing that most people miss. Like me.

Noticing my sad expression, he comes closer, touching my cheek softly.

" What is wrong?" he asks in a soft voice, I embrace him tightly, letting a tear or two run down my face, my brother pulls away concerned as he assess me with a worried look.

"I miss him so much," I confess, he tenses I should have known I'm not the only one missing him, Deandre was his best friend.

" I know," he whispers turning to close the coffin and leading us back in our salon, we take our seats, I smile trying to change the subject.

"If you love her in any form she takes then why do you still keep that body and why did you ask the witch to preserve her original body," he shakes his head but doesn't comment. I was right.

" Well maybe, I am a little more attracted to her in that form," he finally confesses taking a sip of his bourbon.

"Don't worry, she'll find a spell soon, we will get her back to her original body," I assure him. It's hard for my brother over a century, he has loved only one woman and not wanting to part, he made her cast an inhabitant spell, she can jump from one body to the other.

"I am worried, even after a century, she's still furious I chose her sister," he sighs pouring himself another glass.

" She might hurt her, after a century she still sends hunters after us Shaina," he says a little annoyed. I nod oh well that witch is very vindictive, she hates my family, even her own sister. When my brother tricked her into doing the spell, she only did it so he can choose her, Theodore was going to do anything to save his beloved so he agreed to be with her for the night, but afterwards she still wanted more but my brother could not purposely betray his beloved so we left their land to find settlement somewhere else.

"We don't know what form she takes, I'm sure she lost lost her original body long ago as well," I nod, when she comes for us herself, we will be at a disadvantage.

"Don't worry love, when she comes I'll know," Aurelia comes in happily, dropping her shopping bags before kissing my brother on the lips and sit on his lap, this form suites her too, it's just than she's three inches shorter in this one making her a 5'4 , my brother lightly puts his hand on her back, rubbing circles.

I sigh pouring myself a strong drink too.

"Sleep well," I head to my room. But sleep doesn't come easy

"Wow it's so pretty," I muse looking at the moonlight before us, it's the festivals and the whole week people have been dancing, girls wearing their finest gown and men their nice pants and boots. I feel his breathe against my neck, I smile and heat rushes to my cheeks.

"De..andre," I stutter, stupid me, it's been a week since he confessed his feelings for me and I'm yet to give him an answer.

"You look beautiful in your blue dress," I smile at the compliment not meeting his eyes, but he smiles, touching my chin, enjoying my shyness. He tilts my head so I'm looking in his amazing silver eyes. I really do enjoy them, they flicker in the darkness, his gaze on me is more than I can bare and I cast my eyes down yet again.

"My brother won't like that he doesn't know where I am," I say quietly, trying to move away but he stops me, bringing my eyes to him once again but they fall on his unbuttoned linen shirt and I find myself swallowing thickly but whenever I look at him in such a manner, all my thoughts become indecent, his chest looks so hard I know trains with the swordsmen at the village square everyday since he is their leader.

"Your brother has gone back to the manor, I saw his carriage leave earlier, he has some business with the humans," he says very sure of this information. I nod walking away before he grabs my wrist and turns me to him fast, so I am now facing him, my hands on his strong arms.

" You still haven't given me an answer," he reminds me again, I sigh this man is very persistent indeed, I've always been aware of his feelings for a long time now, not only that, he is my beloved but I hesitate, maybe I like being chased by him.

"You know what I am," I say softly, I'm a vampire and he's human, although he has shown incredible strength and hasn't shown any signs of aging since we came to live in the main city.

But he is my beloved, the one made for me, I could feel it the moment I laid my eyes on him, and when I fed on him, it was so satisfying like I've never felt before.

"I need an answer, I know I'm not the only one in the fighting for your heart," since we arrived here, a lot of males have been fighting for my attention, doing everything they can so I can notice them, bringing flowers and expensive jewelry in hopes of winning my love but my heart is set on one man, Deandre Caesar. , Gathering all my courage, I stand on my toes and place a sweet kiss on his cheek before giggling and running off into the crowd of dancing people, I feel him coming after me but I run faster even with my super speed he will catch on, he always does.

So lost in my thoughts I didn't realize it's dawn already. I get up to go to the balcony to watch the sunrise as I always do before getting ready for the day.
