Regret

-Immortal prince-

Finally pulling away with my lips dripping blood; I stare down a Yume body, all frail and withered with her skin so pale more than before from the blood loss. I quickly turn to Sedric, tears flowing down my blood-filled face.

'Sedric, help me please,' I cried out, trying hard not to drop Yume with my shaking hands.

'I will get a blood transfusion going, Sire,' he replied, standing up from where he knelt in front of me and closed the door behind him.

I turned back to the limp body that lay before me, my eyes flowing like an endless waterfall.

'Im so sorry... my love,' I breathe out before giving a bloody kiss on her forehead. *why didn't I listen to Sedric? Why did I not hunt when he insisted me too? Now I have caused so much harm to my love* my mind racing as I finally stand up, lifting her to a better position.

Turning around to set her nicely down on the bed, waiting patiently for Sedric to return with the blood.

Sitting down next to Yume, I gently brushed a strain of her beautiful white hair out of her face, noticing little movement doing so; she looked like she was in no pain.

Her breathing was very little, and her heartbeat was so soft, making me worry. I grabbed her hand and gently crested it with the tips of my fingers.

Sedric entered the room, and my eyes went dark from the sight of the blood bag he was carrying.

'Sire, you need to leave for me to do this,' Sedric said, holding the blood with his life with a tube in his other hand. I gritted my teeth and growled before I ran past him.

*I have to get out of the house. I can't attack Sedric too. I would lose everyone I need him to save Yume; she needs to stay alive* lost in my train of thought, I didn't realize I ran so far, all the way to the black hills mountain.

'Roar!' i roared so loud I scared the mountain goats that were grazing the hillside. I ran so fast as I grabbed one of the goats by its throat, pulling it to a halt before lifting it by its neck, watching it squirm around trying to get free.

The smile on my face would scare anyone, with my eyes glowing a beep dark red. I open my mouth, making my fangs attracted out; I bite down hard with a big 'crunch,' ripping a big chunk of fur off of the goat's neck before feasting on its blood.

After getting my fill, I drop the goat from my grasp with a big 'thud' to the ground. Blood dripped down my chin before I wiped it away with my handkerchief. Not realizing the blood wasn't the only thing that was dripping from my chin.

Reaching up to my eyes filled with tears from the stabbing pain in my chest. I couldn't bear to lose Kali again. I finally have her back. I need to keep her safe and guard her with my life.

Getting my bearings back, I ran back to the mansion where Sedric was tending to Yume. I enter the room to be greeted by Sedric.

'Sire, she is still frail, please, you will need to wait. I'm sorry,' he said, holding his hand out, telling me to stop approaching.

'Move,' i replied with a growl trying hard not to lose control when I knew deep down Sedric was the one I needed to be praising right now. Sedric stepped to the side of the door closing his eyes as he bows his head, allowing him to enter.

I speed past him making my way to the side of Yume's bed, and my heart freezes, and my eyes fill with tears again at the sight I had caused. Her hair filled with sweat and messy her face was so pale like a ghost, with droplets of sweat on her forehead before Sedric wiped them away with a damp cloth.

'Beep....Beep'

Hearing the beeping of the heart monitor sound so faint with her barely holding on. With wires hooked up everywhere and two IV lines, one with blood and the other with saline to help keep her hydrated.

Her face was so soft and gentle as I reached down to brush the side of her cheek. Her lips were a pale pink color; with her eyes closed, you could see her long white eyelashes. My tears flowed like a waterfall at an eternal spring.

'Im so sorry, Yume... please don't hate me, my love... I will never harm you again; stay with me, please,' i said with my voice breaking before leaning down to kiss her forehead.

I didn't have time to react before a bright blue light came out of her body like a giant bubble knocking me back against the wall.

'Ahhh,' i yelled, coughing up blood from the impact.

'Sire!' Sedric screamed, running to my side to help me up. I push his hand away as I shake off the pain before standing to my feet.

'What happened, sire?' Sedric asked with concern on his face; it showed he's afraid, I thought *funny with him being a servant to a vampire* I smailed

'She's a Nymph Sedric,' he said with a chuckle.

'What's so funny, sire? What is a Nymph?' he replied with his face glowing red with embarrassment.

'Nymph is a fairy; even though she is unconscious, her power still protects her hum..." I said, rubbing my chin.

'What is it, sire?' Sedric asked

'Why does her body protect her now but not back in the dungeon with Alavander? Oddly, I need to do more study about them. On the other hand, I only met Nymphs one other time in my 300 years. she owes me her life, so now she can repay her gratitude now,' i replied, my smile growing more prominent, making my fangs retract. Before Sedric could react, I turned to walk towards the door.

'Oh, and Sedric, keep a guard on her at all cost and make sure you take care of her. But don't let her die. I will be back in 3 full moons,' i said with a wave of my hand before leaving.

'Yes, Sire, ' Sedric said with a bow as the door closed behind me.
