First part of their story
Mia
And each choice brings consequences with it, right?
Mia
What do you mean by that?
Will
First of all, as soulmates, our first meeting was supposed to happen later in your life; usually it happens when the human is past 25 years old.
Mia
The human? As in there are more vampires with human soulmates in this world?
Will
It's rare, but it happens once in 100 years.
She looked astonished at him...He was good with his imagination 👌
Will
*Ignored her thoughts*
I was in the hospital with some business and I felt a well known smell, which I never felt before, but I was sure I did. It came from a hospital room, where a young 40ish year old man was laying in the hospital bed with tubes coming out his mouth.
Will
The smell was faint, but it was there.
Will
Yes. His soul was fighting between life and death, and I felt your confusion, your despair, your need for informations...I had no idea what to do, so I just took a seat on one of the hall chairs and waited there.
Will
I watched how another guy came to say goodbye to the man, and after that, his soul left.
Will
The guy called your mother, and that's when I felt it...your pain at the realisation that he was no longer going to come home alive.
Mia felt shivers run down her back. He knew so many things.
Will
And that's how I ended up at the funeral and discovered you.
Will
No one explained what was going on to you. You were a little girl unable to digest the situation. And I was surprised to see that you fought alone.
Will
You fought, and you fought, until something broke.
He suddenly pulled one of her hands and placed it on his cheek.
And her mind was pulled in the past, which was playing behind her eyelids.
She could see herself hugging her mother, while she cried histerically. Then she could see herself on the edge of the grave, throwing a red rose over the grave, a tear rolling down her cheek.
And behind her, in the distance, there was a tall figure.
William was looking at her intently.
Will
Yeah...I had to check on you.
Will
I promised myself I would leave after the funeral.
He was looking down at her feet.
Mia
Then how do you know about what followed?
Will
Cause I...I came back for you.
Will
I could not keep myself away when I felt what you felt.
Will
When your grandpa died a year later after your uncle, your despair was at its highest level.
Will
Then suddenly I felt the beach breeze.
Will
And I...I saw you on that bridge...then you were no longer there.
Will
Close your eyes again.
She was brought back onto the bridge, watching herself at 12 years old. The wind was blowing her then long hair, in every direction.
She took few steps and then she fell in the water.
Mia tried to scream for help so that someone would help that little girl.
Then she felt the air whistling at her ear and William jumped in the water.
After seconds he came back at the surface of the angry water with a pale, lifeless Mia.
Then she was back in the cabin.
Mia
But I remember I sat on that bridge until the sun went down and then I left home, deciding to not end things that day.
Will
I compelled you to go home to your mother, to not make her suffer more than she already did.
Will
I made you think you got soaked because of a sudden rain.
She couldn't understand a thing anymore, and her normal headache was now ten times stronger.
Will
You are overwhelmed! Get to sleep a little, and then I'll tell you more.
She shook her head in protest.
Mia
No...No...I need to choose today. I have to go to work or I will lose my job.
He placed both of his hands on her shoulders and started to massage her.
Will
Calm down. I sent a message to your supervisor this morning, before work.
Will
If I show it to you, you promise to get some sleep?
Mia complied, letting her shoulders relax a little.
It looked ok. And her supervisor was ok with it.
She breathed a little sigh of relief.
Will
Come on! Get some sleep! I'll cook something.
She needed to know more, but the extreme fatigue made her walk dizzily towards the bed. William was in a second at her side, grabbing her arm and supporting her.
She climbed up the bed, he tucked her in and in a blink of an eye she was out.
