Candela

Blade was staring at Candela who’s still unconscious since that night happened. He could still remember how her disastrous ability shocked everyone including him. How her ability destroyed the ground, how it washed out those trees around. Lastly, how the thunder and lightnings roared out and becoming one of Candela’s weapon as she fought Lady Amary.

That was the first time he saw her on that state. Almost loosing her sanity because of anger that’s eating her that night. Never in his thoughts come up that he will ever witnessed that side of Candela. Who else could say that her tamed mate is actually possessing an ability that’s been fade out throughout their history.

Candela’s ability was completely vanished as the time goes by. As far as he knows, only those royal blooded one can ever possess that kind of ability which is believed that has a blessing from their god. From the father of their lives.

Who would have thought that Candela is a vampire who carries a blessing from their god. His mate is not just a royal blooded vampire but a blessed one. And even though he don’t want how her own ability put her life in danger, Blade couldn’t help but to be proud of his mate. To his rabbit…

“Hey, rabbit.” He kissed Candela on her hand. He gently squeezed it as he continued to put kisses on it.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“You made me shock on your ability, do you know that? You just made me fall for you harder. When I saw how you wrecked that night with your cool power, I swear. I just stay on my place, stiffened on the ground as I stared at you in awe. You’re so cool, baby,” he continued talking as if Candela will heard him when it’s been two weeks since she became unconscious.

Her Candela was still alive. But as he looked on her now, she looks like half dead. Lying on their bed almost lifeless.

“You probably hear me by now, right?” He smiled at her. “Well, yeah… I guess you are. I just want to say that please wake up, Rabbit. I’ve missed you so much. I missed your smiles, your rants most especially your eyes as they beamed in joy. I missed you kisses, your hugs and touch. I missed everything about you, Rabbit so could you give me a favor. Please wake up for me. There’s someone who’s waiting for you to wake up and that’s m–me…” his voice broke as tears fell down on his cheeks.

For those days, Blade didn’t do anything but to stayed beside Candela. The doctor already told him that they have less chance on to be with her again. As her ability really puts her own life on stake. Her right arm have burned. She lost almost of her strength as she lost control on herself that night. The wounds caused by Lady Amary to her own daughter were serious too. Candela lost much of her blood and even though he already give her his, it wasn’t enough to heal those wounds. They now only depends on miracle.

But no matter how thin the hope that is left to them, Blade will remain on her side. He will never leave Candela and let death take away his mate on him. He will do everything just to be with her again, even it means his own life. Because life for Blade was just nothing if he will lost the woman of his life. Not his rabbit… not his stubborn yet loving rabbit.

“How was her?” It was Liam who entered their room. He also visits Candela during his free time and now, he’s here visiting her.

He shrugged. “Just like the other day. There’s still no response coming from her. I’ve talked to her a lot but it seems that I am talking to the air.” His eyes are still glued on Candela.

“She still breath, Blade. We should not lost our hope. Sooner or later, I know she will wake up. She will come back and recover from what happened to her.”

“Do you think I am useless as her mate?” he suddenly asked.

Liam chuckled. “What made you think of that? You’re not useless to her. You just didn’t know–”

“Exactly.” He frustratedly brushed his hair using his fingers. “I am her mate but I didn’t know about her ability. What kind of mate I am? I don’t even know that thing. If only I know how her ability may affect her then I shouldn’t let her used it. I should have stopped her.”

“Blade, we didn’t know. No one knows not even her own mother knows about her ability. Only Candela knew that if ever she will use her ability, it will put her on danger. She lost control and no one could blame her because it was the anger which driving her that night. We tried to stopped her right? We tried but she’s already dumb. That night… all that is important for her is to kill the vampire who killed her mother.” Liam reasoned out.

Blade nodded but still unconvince. He can’t help it. He couldn’t help but to blame himself at some point. If only he knew that Candela’s ability is dangerous not just to vampires around them but also to herself, then he have stop her from the very start. But no, he didn’t get a chance to do that because he didn’t know. He’s clueless, unaware and a fool. They’ve been together for almost every day, spending nights together but yet, asking Candela about her ability didn’t popped up on his mind.

He’s useless. A useless and a selfish mate for Candela. Now, it was too late for his regrets as his mate is already suffering. Candela is in the battle of fighting for her own life. How Blade wished that she will win against death. That she will come back into his arms again because if that didn’t happen, he’s beyond willing to follow her. If he needs to kill himself just to be with Candela again, he will gladly will.

“Don’t worry, Blade. I know her. Candela is the bravest vampire I’ve ever met. I know, she will come back. She will come back to us because she survive death.” Liam patted him on his shoulder before he went off.

When he was left alone, tranquility embrace their whole room again. He stood up from his seat afterwards and leaned closer to kiss Candela on her forehead.

“I’ll be right back, Rabbit. I will just get you a bag of blood. Wait me here,” he said before facing the door where Liam went off.

Before Blade totally leave Candela, he twirled around to see her again then stepping out of the room. He walked through the hallway and headed straight to room where bags of bloods are located. Along his way, he crossed Primo who’s walking through the opposite direction.

“Are you going to visit Candela?” he asked him.

The kid nodded at him. “Yeah. I’m planning to visit him before leaving to the West. Mother wants me to be with her. I gotta go to see Candelita. Mother’s waiting for me outside.” He nod at him before continuing walking.

Blade just needs to count fee seconds before he reached the room. When he stepped inside, he quickly get what he wanted and came out the room again. He then walked through Candela’s room but he furrowed in confusion when he saw Primo running to him.

Primo reached his place with a fainted face, dry lips and with a blood on his right hand.

“What happened?!” he inquired. The blood of bags already fell down on the floor. He kneel in front of Primo and hold him tightly on his shoulders. “What happened? What happened to you?!” He shaken Primo.

Primo on the other hand is still gasping for some aor before he managed to speak. “Brother…” he breath. “I saw her…”

“You see her? Who?!”

“Lasy Amary… I saw her, Brother. She abducted Candelita…”

“What?!” Blade roared.

“I tried to stop her. I used my ability to stop her but I did not succeed. She’s with a wizard who used a portal to escape from me–” Primo didn’t finish his words as Blade already run off to the room where Candela is resting.

When the door flew open, he only saw how the room turned into upside down. Mess and mess everywhere. Broken furnitures including the bed where Candela supposedly lying are already turned into broken pieces. Other than the mess, there is no Candela inside.

“No. No. No!” Blade shouted as he run fast as he can.

He directly headed down stairs to summoned the knights whose probably busy on their training. Behind him is Primo who’s also running even though there is a wounds he’s enduring.

“Blade, what happened?” Liam quickly went on Blade’s place as he reached the training field.

“I need your knights including you,” he announced.

“Wait. What?!” Liam’s confused.

“They abducted Candela. That daughter of the bitch abducted my mate. I need to follow her and get my mate back on me!” he yelled as the wind blows tremendously.

“What the hell?!” Liam cursed consecutively. “Where? Where are we going to follow them? Do you know where they are right now?”

That question threw Blade off-guard. Yeah, he have all the guts to follow Lady Amary but the question is, where?

Where they would follow her?

He shook his head in defeat. Weakly, he stumbled on the ground as he throw punches on the ground creating some holes on it.

“We need Lord Magnus–”

He cut Liam’s word. “But my father is currently on a meeting in the North. He will back in two days…”

“What the f*cking shit! Get up, we will follow him on the North. Wait for me here, I will just assigned my knights to their post and remind them to strengthen the patrol on the borders.”

Blade nod at Liam as he started to walking away. When Liam is nowhere to be seen by his eyes, Blade get up and get back inside the palace. When he reached inside, he was welcomed by everyone who seems waiting for him. With them is his brother, Primo and his mother, Lady Lorraine.

Lady Lorraine hurriedly hugged him as he reached their place. “What happened?!” she asked worriedly.

“I’ll leave together with Liam, Mother,” he announced.

“Primo already told me what happened to Candela. Are you going to follow Lady Amary?”

“No.” He shook his head. “We didn’t know where the hell did Lady Amary take Candela. If there’s someone who can help us, it was Father. Liam and I will follow to him in the North and tell him what happened.”

“You will be safe, right? You will take care of yourself right, son? Promise me you will come back alive together with Liam and your father. Promise me, Blade…” Tears rolled down on Lady Lorraine’s cheeks as she stared at her son.

“I’ll promised. Wait for me and Dad here. We will end this war and I’ll promised you our victory. We will attain our peace again and will get my mate back. Hell will freeze if I didn’t get her back. Swear to hell!”
