"I'm not invading any women's privacy", he said softly and gentler. Evelyn pursed her lips she never for once thought she will be in a cornered situation where she will have to fight for her privacy.
"Answer my question, my moonlight flower, I'm waiting for you sweet". He said his voice like hot honey being poured on her and she felt that familiar tingling feeling slowly building at the pit of her stomach again. Her heart picked up the beat and it started racing.
"You are mysterious". She answered softly trying her possible best not to bite her bottom lip to avoid making him spill embarrassing nonsense.
"My moonlight, you haven't answered my question". He raised an eyebrow.
"You also haven't answered mine". She pointed out.
" Wow, making a bargain, I see. But I think I already gave you the condition if you want to know how I knew your name sweet flower ".
"How do you expect me to break a barrier that is stopping you from touching me?" She retorted confused.
The silver eyes stranger smirked. Even though she couldn't see him, she knew he was smirking at her.
Your mind is the answer to that question my sweet moonlight. He said and Evelyn became more confused.
I don't understand. She said honestly.
You need to stop fearing me so I can touch you. He replied without adding or subtracting.
But I'm not scared. She blurted out.
Really? ! The silver eyes stranger was amused at her straight forward answer.
Evelyn sigh heavily. This man Is a hard nut to crack. She'd ask him a question and yet he will give her answers that doesn't make.
Then the only way for her to understand this stranger is to match up to his words and not cower away like scaredy cat. Fine then, if I stop fearing you, will you tell me how you come to know of my name? She asked indirectly bargaining with him.
"What a smart move Eve". He said and Evelyn rolled her eyes at him.
Yes. He answered with all form of seriousness. Then you too will answer my question of which I asked three minutes ago. He added with a wide mischievous grin smeared on his face. Evelyn had the urge to roll her eyes but she managed to hold herself from doing anything that will result to this man taunting her.
"Alright then, deal sealed". She said and the silver eyes stranger smiled. So how do you know my name? She asked without beating round the bush.
Before I started appearing in your dreams, I have been watching you from a far distance until I heard your parents calling you Evelyn and your sister calling you Eve. He answered calmly. His expression blank and unreadable.
Evelyn gulped hard and nervously. So this was how he came to know of her name. Foolish her, her mind didn't go there.
So to my question, how'd you feel if I do strange things to you my sweet moonlight flower? He asked and Evelyn became muted.
"Now that I don't like". He said a bit irritated at her silence.
I don't know. She answered honestly and the silver eyes stranger smirked.
See you next night my moonlight flower, I need to let you have a beauty sleep. He said and slowly cupped her cheeks with his invisible hands.
Evelyn felt warm under his invisible touch even though she couldn't feel his touch.
Your mind is still being wary of me. So I won't be touching you physically. He said and slowly disappeared into the calling darkness.
Evelyn eyes remained open as she lingered on every conversation she has had with the silver eyes man.
**************************************
Back in the royal castle,
Lady Louisa and her daughter finally appeared inside the castle. They were on the hallway when King Lachlan caught sight of two vampiresses.
My my, what is my daughter... His words were paused as his gaze fell on the younger vampiress with light red eyes. He was scrutinizing her with his gaze until realization dawned on him.
"Is this Isla?" He asked and Louisa bowed her head in respect to the king.
"Long live king Lachlan, yes this is my daughter whom I have hidden away from the previous royal family ". Louisa said still bowing her head.
The king didn't say anything and just nodded.
He snapped his fingers and five maids came head bow.
Prepare a room for this young lady. He commanded tland the maid bowed before leaving to go do the task.
Thank you my king for accommodating my daughter. Lady Louisa bowed her head in great pleasure and appreciation.
It's nothing. The king waved his hand dismissively before walking away. While Isla held her mother's arm.
Mama, that's so quick. He didn't even question us. Isla said happily.
I told you didn't I? Now go get some rest. You will be meeting your father and the other prince of the royal family. Her mother said and Isla nodded before pecking her mother's both cheeks and went to her new assigned room. While Louisa had a bright smile on her face. Soon, she will be the future Queen of Valtenia kingdom. She thought.
Evelyn woke up with a gasp, her heart raced wildly in her chest as though she was on a hectic and stressful run. Her eyes widened in horror and at the same time, she was curious. Excitement slowly bubbled up at the pit of her stomach and at the same time she was scared.
She was scared of what this mysterious stranger is doing to her, slowly haunting her dreams and stirring up a conversation with her which was also considered forbidden for a maiden like her. Her heart was still thumping wildly in her chest a she slowly held her cheeks which was still feeling edgy from the tingling sensation she has felt.
"Please stop appearing in my dreams". She whispered softly.
"Who should stop appearing in your dreams?" A familiar female voice jolted her back to reality and it was none other than her very own sister, Lila.
