I was quiet, not saying much as the taxi cab driver drove us home. Fear had struck my heart, and I held on to Bella for dear life. I had a vision of the future, and Bella was not in it anywhere! I remembered the wise words of the Council, and their warnings, but I never thought that it would come to this. I thought that they would see the love I have in my heart for Bella, and allow me to keep her, but I was wrong. They want to have me all to themselves, so I could focus only on my tasks.
With trembling fingers, I paid the cab driver, and pulled Bella out of the cab gently, and we went to my bachelor pad, and I went straight to the kitchen, and poured myself a glass of whiskey. It burned my throat as I swallowed it, and I poured another shot, and swallowed that one too. The love of my life watched me and said not one word.
I took off my jacket, threw it on the chair, walked up to Bella, and said, "Sit down Bella, there is is much I want to tell you." I told her in a serious tone.
I did not know where to start. My fear squeezed my heart, and the pain was unbearable. How do I tell her that because we made love, and exchanged vows, she will be punished, and die? How do I explain to her how much I need and love her? Ronan was right when he said, that if I love her, I should let her go. I sighed and took a deep inhalation of breath.
Bella sat down on the couch and waited for my confession. Her eyes were trusting and full of love. I held back a sob, I will not break down, I need to keep it together, and be prepared if she rejects me after she finds out the truth.
There wasn't enough time, the masters will come for her soon. They will rip her from my arms just to prove to me that they are in control.
I kneeled before her, not as a mighty warrior, or savior of the earth, but as a mere man who has fallen deeply in love with her.
"Bella." I whispered hoarsely. "I want you to know that no matter what happens, I will always love you!"
I dropped my head on her lap, as I released the gut wrenching sobs that I was choked up with all day long.
Bella remained quiet, waiting for my confession.
I started talking, explaining in details every single thing that has happened since the day I was born. I told her how I chose her to be my soulmate, and how deeply in love I was with her, even from back then, before she was even born. I explained to her who the Masters and the council were. I also told her her fate, and the role I played to bring forth her death.
Bella did not say a single word. I expected her to start yelling and go crazy, but she just looked at me with love in her eyes. Mayhap she thought I was not serious, Mayhap she thinks I am playing a joke on her.
"Bella," I said hoarsely, "do you understand everything that I just told you?"
"Yes I do, Christopher." She said softly, her eyes sparkled with love.
"Aren't you mad at me? Don't you hate my guts?" I asked her desperately.
"How can I hate or be mad at you Christopher, when you are my heart? I could never hate you." She said as her tears glided down her beautiful face.
"Hate me Bella, because if you don't I will not be able to live with myself! Hate me!!!!" I yelled, and pounded my chest with my fist.
"No Christopher, I can not hate you, in fact, I love you even more, if that is even possible." She said.
I pulled myself up and walked to the kitchen to get the ring. I will propose to her here and now! Walking back to Bella, with the box that held the ring, I kneeled before her again, and took out the ring that was in the Tiffany box, and with a trembling voice I said, "Bella will you marry me?"
Bella's tears glided down her face, and she nodded her head, and I put the ring on her finger, and sealed our love with a kiss.
"You are mine Bella!" I said, "and if the Masters take you away from me, I will come into the spiritual realm and find you Bella! Promise me something, please." I said, desperately, "promise me that you will be waiting for me, because I will search Heaven and earth until I find you once again!" I told her. "I will find you through other dimensions and bring you back to me, all you need to do is wait until I find you!"
