第二章

In a swift movement, he was in her room. The bed lamp was on, it was a faint red lamp and for a normal human eye, you wouldn’t be able to see much but for a vampire, even in the dark, everything is bright.

 He watched as she lay peacefully in her bed. Her breath was in a slow movement and her body was covered in her white blanket. Her hair was tucked in a blue satin. She looked as fresh as morning dew in her sleeping state.

“Wow! That is one beautiful piece of cake.” Odin said to himself and was immediately standing beside her, so close to her that he brought out his hand and with his index finger, he trailed the side of her cheek down to her jaw line...

He could feel Ichabod’s resistance within him so he chuckled to himself...

“Calm down idiot. You know that the night belongs to me. Even though you tried everything to stop me from coming out in the day, you can’t stop me from coming out in the night. That will mean getting rid of me forever and that will only work on the full moon.”

He could perceive the delicious scent of her blood and he closed his eyes as he could feel them burn....his veins were protruding and he swallowed. The finger he had on Harmony’s face now had a longer nail sticking out and the more her chest rise and fall due to her breathing, the more he could feel the movement of her blood.....this was too much.... He could feel the twitching in his mouth as the fangs in his two front teeth protruded out and he opened his mouth....yet he knew he couldn’t have her right now....that bloody full moon! He was really hungry for her but...he still needed to wait else, he knew he would just ruin everything even though he desperately wanted to ruin things for that stupid Ichabod, it would mean ruining things for himself.

Several thoughts were going through his mind all at once. If he decided to ruin things for Ichabod, he would limit the chance of getting close to her. If Ichabod gets close to her, then he would also be close to her. If per-adventure they make love on the night of the full moon when he would be at his strongest, he could take that bite he had craved for years.

He smiled and thought of penetrating into her mind once more just as he had done many times. That way, he always managed to interfere with her dreams about Ichabod which she was yet to realize. Somehow, the dream had a kind of illusion that was preventing her from seeing Ichabod’s face in each of her dreams, or Odin’s face anytime he took over the dream and this was always at the ending.

He felt her moan in her sleep....

She was having a nice dream for sure, he thought in his mind and he straightened himself up bent slowly to say something into her ears when he heard...

“What are you doing?”

“Oops! Busted!” He said before standing up and turning around only to see Tracy at the door. She was rubbing her sleepy eyes.

“Come on, you don’t need to bodyguard my mum when she is sleeping. You are so weird. Come, I wanna show you something.” The girl whispered, rubbing her eyes and walking closer to take Odin by the hand, leading him out of the room.

“Gosh, I hate kids!” He muttered to himself as he followed her out of the room...she obviously hasn’t seen his contorted face....
