The Hunt For Immortal Love

So goes the story of my life; nothing can run smoothly before something else goes wrong first. Taken all the battles we have gone through, I can honestly say that I always thought that the last was the worse than all the others before. Now what has become quite a custom is that I have been the one whom they shall turn when things start to fall astray. Not that I do mind this, but the pressure for failure lies even heavier on my shoulders. Despite what is assumed, I do not possess all the answers, nor do I have the ability to make things right all the time. Even though I shall strive to do so, I can not guarantee that if you come to request my help, that you shall find a resolution.

But with saying this, I do and always will make sure that my loved ones will be safe and that they shall have whatever their heart desires. And in saying this, I would never regret a decision made to give them the safety and things that they desire.

That is up until now.

It is with a heavy heart; now, let us not joke about a Vampire having a heart any longer. For it is indeed dead. Though before we get to that part, I need to get my beloved home that is staring at me with bewildered eyes. I do not wish to break the news to her while we are speeding home, for I need to sit her down and explained that not on purpose but by fear, the spell has gone wrong.

I am sure that she heard my last words to Elloise as we left. Well, I do not have a treaty with the fairies, for they have never been trouble, that is until today. Will I take my revenge on her for what she failed to mention? That will happen for certain; no creature, no immortal and even mortal, shall ever betray me in such a way. So I shall return when she least expects it, and I shall end her miserable supernatural life.

What also pains me is how do I tell Anastasia this without her thinking that I did this to her knowingly. I did not see the Book of Spells until after the spell was cast. For if I knew that there was only one outcome, I would not have allowed her to go ahead with it.

...Anastasia POV...

I have an old familiar feeling that has just crept up its, do I even dare say, ugly head.

Sebastian is ignoring my question, and I can understand, for he knows that if I do not like the answer, I might throw a good old tantrum. Do I feel betrayed? Let us see once we have settled at home, and we have gone through what this change is that I am feeling. But I know I do not need to sit and wait for someone to tell me what it is that I already do know.

There is going to be hell to pay, I know that Sebastian would have never done this knowingly, so my next stop shall be back to Elloise. I shall show her that there is no way of crossing Anastasia Santi and get away with it. I don't care if she is Lilith's sister; I shall take Edward, and if he refuses, then I shall take Zachariah, but her life will come to an end.

So after a frantic fifteen minutes, we finally stop in front of our home; Sebastian comes around, as he always does, he comes to open the door for me. He gently takes my arm, I do know why, but I shall not say a word. I continue to let him lead me inside.

As we step through the door, Edward passed through the common room on his way to the kitchen. He has that strange look on his face, the same one that I held. Do I even need for someone to explain to me if two now suspects? But wait, the best is to come; as we enter the kitchen, Lilith shouts from the back where she is standing.

"Who brought the...?"

She stops dead in her tracks as she turns around and sees that it is indeed me. Sebastian shakes his head for her not to say another word.

...Sebastian POV...

Well, that did go rather well; everyone knows that Anastasia and I are home, and we did not even have to announce ourselves. Thanks to Anastasia's new state of being, she has announced our arrival. But jokes aside, for the seriousness, has no come. I wish that someone else could explain, for I am about to have a pair of perfectly manicured nails dug deep into my skin. Now I am all for the kinky scratch and the deep nail diving, but this is someone not going to be one of those kinds. So let us begin and explain the very obvious pink elephant in the room.

"My dear beloved, I do believe there is an elephant in the closet."

"Sebastian, what are you talking about?"

"The pink elephant, the one that is in the room."

"Are you referring to me to an elephant?"

"No my beloved, you are not an elephant; in fact, you are human."

"What?"

"Oh, I believe I said that out loud."

Her next scream echoes into the corners of the kitchen; the crystal glasses are clearly trembling as they vibrate. There is a plate that goes flying in the direction past Lilith's very nervous head. Poor Edward jumps behind me until he realizes that I might be the target that she is aiming for.

"Is that that damn pounding in my chest? My damn heart is pumping blood? Human blood?"

"Yes, my beloved on all counts."

"Sebastian, do not tell me I am human again?"

"Are you going to throw a plate at me if I say yes?"

"Fan fucking tastic. That Elloise is dead!"

The mere mention of her name sparks Lilith's attention, which now means that I will have to tell them of our use of the Book of Spells."

"See, my dear Lilith, we went to your sister to perform a spell.

But then Edward jumps in, "Have you not learned your lesson with that book. What on earth was it that you were trying to achieve?"

"Well, Anastasia wishes to have her curse of being an Ancient reversed, so Elloise found a spell in the Book, but she failed to inform us that the only result of the spell was that you should become human again."

"Really, Sebastian? You think that she is going to tell you the complete truth when you come down descending like that on her."

"She shall pay for that in time. I do apologize, Lilith, but you shall understand my displeasure."

Then I turn back to my Anastasia, that has now started crying like a little baby. I am immediately horrified; I have no experience, well not of recent, with a woman that is crying as much as that. I don't even want to dare and think that she now wants to place her head against my chest and that my designer suite shall become a wet mess. So I show for Lilith to go and comfort her, but she only laughs at me and turns her back to carry on with what she was doing with Stefan. "Edward, please."

"Oh no, you are not getting my help."

"Then at least tell me there is a spell that can fix this?"

"You want to try another spell? Just now, you turn the poor woman into a frog. You know there is only one way for her to become a Vampire again. Maybe this is a second chance for her at a normal life?" ...Anastasia POV...

Just as I suspected, I am a damn human again. I won't lie when I say that I feel fresh and alive, that the breath that flows in my mouth is one that truly means something. My heart does not lie dead and heavy in my chest; it is beating at a drum that I have not felt for such a long time.

Do I even dare say that it feels great to be a human again, but then there are all the things that being a Vampire brings. If I have to sit and sum up these two lives now, I am given the great opportunity to decide which is the better life for me. I am left to make a choice myself and not by someone through a reckless decision.

But should I even consider that there is a decision to be made? Should I not just expect my new fate? Is human truly a fate that is considered bad. But the question begs if I do decide to remain as a human, would I still have Sebastian in my life?

I know that he loves me more than life itself, but would he truly want to be with me if I was human? As we all know, that I shall become older and die; this too was what made me decide this the very first time around. But then I was dying, now I am perfectly healthy and alive, yet like a porcelain doll that can break by anything that the human life brings.

This is indeed something that I did not foresee to come into my life. But someone else that did not see his to happen, is staring at me with pleading eyes.

"Sebastian, what do I do now?"

"My beloved, if you wish to remain human, then there is nothing to consider, no choice to make."

"But shall you always remain by my side?"

"There is nowhere else I would rather want to be. We were meant to be together forever; it was never said which forever. Does a human not also has a forever until his life ends."

"Yes, but a Vampire's forever is truly forever."

"True, but something might happen tomorrow, and I might die, and same as you."

"Sebastian, I think that it has always been my fear. I do not wish to die, but yet I came very close as a Vampire."NôvelDrama.Org content.

"And so did you come when you were a human."

There are so many infinite possibilities; when I became aware of the Vampire race, I thought them to be untouchable, but I was soon proven wrong. We have been through so many battles that got us close and even some of us, dead. All I know is that I love Sebastian, then should it not be easy then? Where am I going to go now that I am human again? Back to work and back to Zachariah, who funny enough is a Vampire, but he is more human. Was this not our legacy instead? I never once stopped to think of all these questions; all I wanted was to be a normal Vampire again. Guess I have truly messed things up completely again.

So with a very much worried heart, Sebastian pulls me closer to him.

"My beloved, I can see the questions rumbling around in you mind. I do wish for you to become mine again, but I do understand if you do not wish to do so." "Sebastian, if you were me, what would you do?"
