Her From Another World

~25. Angry Mates and Bountiful Plans~

~Eva's POV~

I stared in shock at my mates as they lost control of themselves, their vampire nature slipping to the surface each passing minute.

And I knew till the sight of my blood vanishes out of their sight this would continue.

So I took the next best decision most suitable to the situation.

I ordered Elena to take both Caroline and the Sheriff who had rushed up to see the commotion out of the boarding house.

I had to calm down my mates. They were the most important.

"Damon, Stefan, listen to me alright, nothing happened, I'm fine," I spoke softly my hands paced gently on their cheeks.

They were not completely human anymore, they've surrendered to their vampire nature, but still, as I caressed their cheeks I did not fear those red eyes or the sharp fangs.

Their anger was not on me but for me, and as they struggled to gain control with each passing second I could feel their love for me and I return loved them as much.

Fiercely without reservation.

"We could not protect you. She hurt you." Damon's voice came garbled his anger trying to override his rationale.

"Oh darling don't, you know it's not your fault. And I made sure she hurt a hundred times more remember?"

Slowly, slowly, very unhurriedly their anger reduced eyes turning back to normal, fangs receding back as they enveloped me in their arms holding me as if I'm something precious.

They did not talk as they brought me to my bedroom in the house seating me down on the bed as on went to the bathroom while the other carefully checked my wound.

Stefan's eyes turned hard once again at the side, his hand clenching tightly in anger. I placed my hand on top of his fist before he could erupt again.

"You can heal me remember?" He nodded at me before biting into his wrist placing his in front of me as I latched on drinking his blood.

Unlike the last time, this time it was not by any means sexual instead it felt soothing filling my body with strength and warmth as my wound closed only the blood remaining on my neck.

Next Damon came out of the bathroom with a wet towel with him cleaning the blood off of me gently and throughout all of this, the two did not speak a single word.

Now sitting with as I had my head leaned against Damon's shoulder and my hand tangled in Stefan's I initiated the conversation.

"Why are you two quiet?"

"We are scared, scared that someday we would just loose you without even knowing you were in danger. We are scared to lose you, Eva." Stefan finally spoke his words heavy with emotion.

"We are your mates but we can't even keep you safe. I'm fucking disappointed in myself." Damon snapped out frustration evident in his voice.

I sighed hearing them. How do I explain to them what happened to me was not their fault?

"You two, listen to me, I got hurt because I chose to go with her while you two were taking care of something important and... you guys know that I'm a hundred times powerful than Katherine. You two do not know how much my life changed after I met you.

Before I got adopted my life was not pretty, I did not really have a childhood or people to care for. It was all about surviving for me. So it ade ignorant of feelings and I learned to box out anything I felt weird. My life did not give me the luxury of feelings, and you two know that even after meeting my adopted family I was not much of anything. It was after meeting you two that I even learned what love feels likes or how it feels to be loved.
