The Gift of Love
Inside the darkest cave, there sat a king. He was no ordinary king, but he was the vampire king. As you know, all kings have their beloved queens, and here she flies into the cave with her delicate wings.
She hugged him tight and kissed him with passion, but there was something wrong, the king was depressed. A long time ago she was an Angel from high above the heavens, who saved this king from the darkness. Then she became a vampire just like him, for she sacrifised her white feathered wings and became one with darkness. Everything was so perfect between them, untill that night, when the king of all vampires remembered his sorrow. He was falling back into the dark.
He walked towards the enterence of the cave, feeling the cool gentle breeze blowing in his face. He sigh and looked at the pond, ever so dark like we was once before. The reflection of the full moon was ever so perfect on the still dark pond, he looked up and spreaded out his solid black wings. The queen looked at him with worrying eyes.
"What seem to be troubling my king?" she asked softly. Just then, he flew over to the middle of the pond, flapping his dark bat-like wings to keep himself hovering above the water. She looked at him with fear, almost watering out as tears when she heard those words. "This is what I was before you saved me..." he reached out his hand to touched the dark cold water. "So dark and cold..."
The queen opened her folded wings and fly towards him, just then, he stopped flapping and falls into the deep dark pond, sinking into the bottom slowly. "No!" She dives into the water after her love, reaching out her hand, trying to grab his. As he reached out his hand and meet her's, there was a voice appearing in the queen's mind, "Angel, why do you still follow me, into the darkest reaches of my soul?" She replies, "Because I love you.. Because I never want you to be in the dark once again..."
She couldn't hold her breath any longer, yet she was still sinking with him. He looks into her eyes and theres was the voice again, in her head. "If I don't let you go, I will distroy us both." Suddently, there was a force pushing her up to the surface, her heart was pounding fast as she struggles to swim back to him. It was no use, she kept going up. Sorrow crawls within her heart as she floats to the surface with her face above the water. Her tears running from her eyes as she mummered softly, "My king... Please... Return... To me..." As the clouds blocked the moonlight, she passed out as she drifted to the side of the lake.
Hours later when she woke up, she found herself in the cave that she knew so well. The cave when she and her love had lived for so long. She found herself crying out again, just then there was familiar voice coming from beside her. "Are you alright?" She looked at the stranger, a man who looked just like her king but he was human.
She get up suddently and flew out of the cave and dives into what she saw as a pond. She got up and realises that it was just a grassy plain, she wasn't in the world that she was from anymore. "Are you alright? You just dove into some grass." the stranger rushed towards her, asking. "And where did you get those wings?" he points to the wings behind her that turned pure feathery white.
She screamed out her love's name with tears pouring out of her beautiful eyes. "Where are you, my king?! Where are you?!" The man looked at her curiously and asked, "Who is this king you are speaking of? Oh and let me introduce myself, my name is Mark." She looksed at the man with eyes opened wide, as if she knows him. She remembered that her king's name was Mark, she remembered how they met and all the perfect times. All her tears reflected her love's memories and everything else that they did together. "My.. My name is Angel..."
As she held her hand over her chest, she felt a necklace hanging over her neck. When she held the pandent up to look at it, it was a bright silver cross with a crystal, a pure black crystal in the middle of it. As she sun shone above the two of them, it reflected an image that she knew so well. It was the image of her love. She held it tight in her palm, praying that he would return to her once again and never again will she lose him.
The dark aura as all around it, she tries to remove but she couldn't. "I'm not suppriced if you couldn't remove it." says the man. He walks closer to her then trips over the rock accidently, knocking her over. The necklace got knocked out of her neck and fell onto the grassy floor and disappeared before her eyes. All of a suddent, everything from the past... Love, happiness, emotions, memories of her beloved ans all those adventures that they had went through her mind. She closed her eyes, enduring all the pain cutting through her veins. As she reopens them, she found that she was at the very spot. That cold dark night where she had lost her only love, the place that she knew so well... It was then she heard a familiar voice, a voice that she loved. She turned around and saw him. It was him, her love. Those unwavering eyes, the dark wings on his back and all that she kenw. It was him, her king. She fell to her knees as sorrow crawls within her heart.
The man walked through the image. "he is still here with you, even if you can not see him. He is there, in your heart. A part of you, forever. But still, its sad that you don't recognize me, even as I stand before you..." "I was so blind... So blind indeed..." She looked into his eyes, almost bursting into tears again. There was a long pause, finally he spoke, "Love blinds us all, even when we see clearly."
He disappeared from her sight as she walked towards him.
All of a suddent she appeared in front of him, without a necklace, wings or even fangs. She have become a human. "Are you alright? Why are you crying?" He asked kindly. She looked around as the sun shone upon them. All that she see was the familliar looking man. "What are we doing here? What is your name anyway, my name is Mark. You... You look familiar." She looked at him as pieces of her memories faded away. Everything that she remembered, everything that she had been through. "I... uhh.. My name is Angel. You look familliar to, what are we doing here?"
"It feels warm doesn't it? It may sound crazy but it feels like I've never felt the sun before."
"Yeah... It's so strange..."
"Well, for some reason, I have a basket of food in my hands, would you like to go up that hill and have a picnic with me?"
She nods and they walked up the gentle hill. It felt like everything is starting over again. All the memories were gone but there is one final piece that kept deep in her heart. It cannot be replaced nor can it be removed. It was the memory of his love. As a gentle breeze blows in her face, a single tear fell from her eye, but it wasn't grief.
They were at the top of the hill, he saw a tree that had the words "eternally yours" carved on it. He remembers for a moment, a feeling of someone that he loved with all his soul. She held his hand without a thought and blushed when they looked at each other. they stroll towards the tree and sat there to have their picnic. She looked at the sky and feels that she is not alone. She felt the warmth of love, she smiled as they looked at each other.
