Chapter 246 - Gavrael (Part III)

The enchanting creature continued looking at him with some measure of shocked surprise and when she suddenly spread her wings, Gavrael was jolted into moving – lightning fast. And before the girl could spread her wings fully to fly off, Gavrael materialized before her and shot his hands out to seize her.

She gasped in surprise and a slight bit of fright as his outstretched hands gripped her wrists hard, making sure she could not escape. However, he was careful too to not clamp down too hard to avoid hurting her and bruising her delicate looking wrists. He could tell that she was scared at the way she yelped and turned her large crystalline eyes at him, but he was too distracted by her beauty, the delicate warmth of her skin and… her enticing flowery scent.

Never before had he ever encountered such an alluring, maddening scent in his lifetime. He remembered his mother mentioning how humans had the sweetest scent among all of the existing creatures she knew of. So, this girl was a human? Damn… he cursed within himself. She smelt so good, way too good. In fact, \'good\' was not even enough to do it justice in describing it.

"What are you doing? Let me go!" she exclaimed, finally finding her voice after getting over the initial shock. He noticed her struggling to pull her hands out of his firm grip. She was weak, he thought. He then remembered that his mother did mention that humans were the most fragile and the most helpless of all creatures because of their very limited strength and abilities.

The thought made him loosen his hold on her wrists a little, afraid that he might hurt her without even realising. He could not forget what his mother had told him, that humans could be killed with just one strike from a vampire, even if by accident. He had not really believed his mother\'s words at that time, thinking that there would not be a race so weak as that. However, looking at this girl now, he realised that her words were true.

"I said let me go! Who are you?!" the girl continued struggling as she pulled at her wrists, trying to break free from him.

"I\'ve caught you. So, you now belong to me." He told her authoritatively and the girl\'s pink and luscious lips dropped open. And then horror filled her eyes, a look he found that he did not quite like seeing plastered on her gentle and exquisite face. Did she think he was going to harm her? "Don\'t worry, I\'m not going to eat you or harm you. You have nothing to be scared of." His voice softened but the fear and suspicion in the girl\'s eyes did not subside in the least. In fact, her wariness towards him even increased. It was as if, he was some kind of horrific predator to her.

"P-please let me go." Her voice weakened from fear as she pleaded with him, eyes turning moist as it teared up pitifully.

Gavrael found her pleading expression adorable. "But if I do that you\'ll definitely fly away and escape."

"I… won\'t." she replied and Gavrael stared into her amber eyes.

"Hmm… I\'m not certain that I could believe that statement of yours."

She swallowed and looked around, then met his gaze and gave him a small nod. "I… promise."

After staring intently at her for another long while, Gavrael slowly let go of her wrists.

But as soon as he set her free, the girl flew away without any hesitation nor warning, leaving him standing there. A wicked smile curved on his lips. "What a bad, sly little butterfly." He uttered and then his blue eyes flared to life, excited with the thrill of the upcoming chase.

One of the few things Gavrael hated the most was anyone who broke their promises so easily like that and that was why he never asked anyone to make any promises to him. Maybe because he was a half vampire. His mother had always drilled into him what promises actually meant to the vampires before and he realized he was more of a vampire than a dark fae. It became obvious when he nearly killed a dark fae just because he broke his promise to him. Promises, no matter how small, always is a big deal to him, whether he liked it or not. And this was why no one dared to simply make any promises to the dark fae\'s second prince back in the Under Land.

So, what that girl did made him burst out into an angry laughter. It was hard for him to accept that she broke her promise almost immediately as soon as he let her loose.

And thus, the chase started. He was not chasing her so he could punish her. He had already understood that promises were not that serious to the other races. His mother had made sure he had understood that. However, he was going to make sure that once he catches her again, she will never do that again.
