My love

As soon as they reached home, Mary went to her room and fell asleep. Then there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" She said groaning. "It's me..Can I come in?" Damon said in a gentle tone. "Yes, feel free." She said going back to sleep. "Do you need anything, chocolates, warm water, blankets, painkillers or anything? If you do you can just ask the servants. How are you feeling?" He asked deeply concerned. "No, my head it hurts. I don't want to go to college tomorrow." She said.

"Okay, that's alright. So, how about the cramps? Have they gone away?" He asked slowly and gently. His voice sounded calm and seductive.

"No, it hurts. I don't want to be a girl. I don't want to go through periods. Its so unfair. That we have to go through the menstruation cycle every month of every year till we become old." Mary said. Tears were flowing out of her eyes and she had her hand to her stomach.

"I am sorry, you have to go through that. It's natural for it to happen. It happens to every woman. You are not only losing a lot of blood. You also have to go through the pain. It completely understandable to me if you want to be angry, sad or feel anything you are feeling. If I could take away the pain god knows I would. Have you eaten anything for dinner?" He said holding her close to his chest.

"No, I don't feel like eating." She said still crying but a little less than before.

"Come on, you have to eat something, my love. You can't sleep on a empty stomach. Especially when you are hurting, my love. Do you want to order a salad, a burger, a pizza or do you want to eat out or do you want the cook to make something specific for you. I'd prefer you eat something healthy but that's completely up to you, my love." He asked patting her head.

"I don't have the appetite." She said.

"Okay, a salad it is. Let me call the cook to make a salad and bring it to your room." He said swiftly picking up his phone to make the call.

"Do you have any allergies, my love?" He asked while still on the phone.

"None, just that i don't like bananas at all." She replied blandly.

After a while the cook came in carrying the food. "Here, you go, Ma'am and Sir." she said handing them both one before leaving. "I thought I told you that I don't have a appetite." She said sitting up on the bed. "And I thought I told you that it's unhealthy to sleep on a empty stomach. Now here take a bite, my love." He said "Alright." She said opening her mouth. One bite after another soon the plate of salad was finished. Damon poured her a glass of water and handed it to her. He put the trays of the food on th table for the maids to take them away.

"Do you plan on sleeping here?" She innocently asked. Damon sat on the bed and smiled. "Depends, do you want me to stay here, my love?" Mary gently grabbed his hand. "Stay, then." She said softly. "Okay then. I am going to get ready for bed, then. Don't mind me, my love." Mary smiled and her eyes brightened. She stood up and tied her hair in a loose braid and changed clothes. She then washed up and applied lotion and a lip balm.

She then laid down on the bed and put the blanket over her head and was quick to fall asleep. Damon soon joined her in bed. She was really grateful to find a guy like Damon she thought to herself before falling asleep.

It was dark and cold. The only thing she could hear were footsteps following her. She was running as fast as she could. Not looking back. The dark figure was following her. The ground was all ash. The trees looked wrong. It was all overwhelming but Mary knew what she had to do. She ran as fast as possible. Her mothers words rang in her brain. "You are the last one of us, Marianne!" Her knees felt weak and she tumbled upon a rock and fell hard on the ground.

She crawled with all her might as the dark monstrous figure approached her. Her back soon met a giant rock. Her ankle was twisted. She couldn't crawl away anymore. The dark figure bent over. It touched her face. It's hand was as cold as ice. Mary raised her hand above her head and a white light appeared that blinded her eyes.

She saw a woman when with long blonde hair wearing a hood that covered her face gave her a hand and helped her stand up. Her hand was warm like sunshine. She smiled and said softly. "Marianne.....you are special, my child."

She woke up from her strange dream. She often had such type of dreams. Mary checked her phone. It was 1 am. Mary had trouble breathing. She touched her cheek and felt the lady's touch. It was so weird. The dream it felt more like a memory rather than dream. It all felt too real. She saw Damon still sleeping beside her.

Her throat felt dry. So she went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. She was surprised to see that the bodyguards were still awake. She went through the corridor and made her way to the kitchen. She took a glass of water and drank it. She saw that the lights in Levi's room were still open so she decided to check up on him.

She opened the door and was surprised to see Levi sound asleep and Rosie sitting on the chair next to the bed. "It's so late. How come you are still awake?" Mary asked Rosie. She sat on another chair. "Levi has the habit of waking up in th middle of the night. So I come in to his room to check up on him usually once or twice." She calmly replied looking at the floor. "Wow, that's so nice of you. Does he go to school?" Mary asked wanting to know more about Levi. She kept her voice down to make sure that he doesn't wake up. "No, Damon has private tutors come here to teach Levi. Did you know that you look just like Lily and Levi was very young when she passed away that's why he calls you mama. He believes that you are his real mother." Rosie said caressing his hair.

"Yes, I knew that. Can you tell me more about Levi? I would like to live up to the roles of a mother or at least I wanna try." Mary said

"Alright, Levi is a very smart child. He loves to draw. He really admires Damon. His real father is unknown. He looks just like you and Damon. His favourite food is rice. He likes to play piano." Rosie told her somethings that she knew for sure about Levi.

"Ahh, I see. I have to go now. Good night." Mary said leaving the room. She was thinking about spending the whole next day with Levi.
