GIFT OR CURSE
Julian felt guilty. He and Elizabeth were walking arm in arm in the
garden while Sophia skipped ahead of them, cutting night blooms
and putting them in a basket. She was singing a sweet song to herself and
the very whirr of the insects seemed to join in as a chorus. Stars were
spread across the night sky like diamonds cast by a careless, yet generous,
hand. The moon was large and luminous.
Even if he hadn’t had night vision he would have been able to see
effortlessly. The air was cool and crisp, just right for a cozy fire–which they
would be going back to after this walk–and the conversation was interesting
and pleasant. But Julian was only half present. He was listening to the hum
of Daemon’s thoughts and tracking his Master within the house. So guilt
pricked at him.
Elizabeth stopped in mid-sentence and asked with a smile, “What is
wrong, Julian? Your mind is only half here and half… well, I’m not sure
where.” Her intelligent eyes then narrowed. “Perhaps with Daemon?”
A flush coated his cheeks. “I–I’m just aware of him because our minds
are linked!”
Her eyebrows rose. “Really? That’s all? Nothing to do with the fact
that he’s probably the handsomest man I’ve ever seen? Or because you’re
afraid of him leaving?” Her forehead furrowed. “You’ve never been very
attached to your lovers before. I’m assuming he’s your lover?”
Her raised eyebrows had him blushing again. But he had always been
quite open with Elizabeth. He wondered sometimes if he told her too much,
because Christian could say so little about his own relationships.
“It’s normal,” Sophia’s sing-song voice rose up from where she was
kneeling by a set of huge white blooms she was cutting.
“What’s normal, pet?” Elizabeth asked as she went over to the childsized Vampire and ran a hand through her golden locks.
Sophia let out a satisfied sound and turned her head into the touch, as if
she was one of the flowers she adored and Elizabeth was the Sun.
“Wanting to be with one’s Master all the time. Julian is actually being
quite independent compared to most fledglings. As is Christian,” Sophia
explained. “Normally, Masters and fledglings hole up together for ages.
Most Masters won’t let their fledglings out of their sight, let alone be
around others, or even leave their houses.”
Julian gave out a snort. When both women looked up at him with
questions in their eyes, he explained, “I was just imagining Daemon trying
to keep me in the house.”
“Indeed.” Elizabeth laughed. “You and Christian excelled at escaping
from our home every chance you got.”
“I didn’t think you knew we did that! We were so careful!” Julian
gasped.
