You should have consulted with me first before you him brought home. I said bit too firmly making Victor squeeze my hand.
"I was going to but I already knew you would disapprove." Elisa said with her childish voice, "Mama what's the point in lecturing me now? It all done and done."
Elisa had wisdoms far beyond her age and it surprises me sometimes. Ever since she was born she's always been quite quiet. Always listened to me and never acted out until now.
" I couldn't hear Papas voice until I met him but I've always heard your voice mama. You were lonely, sad, and afraid. Sometimes you would whisper papa's name in your sleep. To be honest it was an accident I stumbled upon papa, but when I meet him all I could hear was about mama. Questions like 'how is she doing?' 'Is she eating well' and etc. So I took it upon me to reunite you guys so you could solve your own problems and I wouldn't have to keep listening to it like a sad soap opera about star crossed lovers."
"Soap opera?" I didn't know what that word meant.
Elisa reiterated her words, "oh um a sad story."
Sometimes I was fascinated by my daughter because she would use words and terms I never used before but it would somehow fit the situation.
"I leave you two alone now as I don't want to disturb your time, and I'm truly tired of being a single child. I'd be grateful if you listened to my plea dear mama and papa."
And with that she left quietly and quickly leaving me along with Victor. I didn't know what to say to him but my heart calmed down now that he was right next to me and not just in my dreams.
He held my hands and put it up against his lips kissing it gently. I didn't remember him being such a gentlemanly flirt. My face flushed and I blurted out, "why are you here?"
He smiled and his eyes gazed intently into mine, "because where would I be if not with you?"
I didn't know what to say back, I was weak to Victor. "You- I meant why did you come look for me? I mean I just don't understand your reason, what about esta?"
Victor smiled, "You don't need to worry about esta shes doing great, but look at me I'm suffering."
I couldn't make eye contact with him, because he seemed so different than from last time. What happened to his cold exterior and chilly vibe? "I don't understand why you are so different? You…you've never liked me." It felt like I was holding my breathe when I said that.
Victor gently bite my finger while his eyes traced my face, "oh my sweet heart this is where you are wrong. I've never changed I've always been like this, I've been one to bite and never let go and you were the one who create this flame."
I felt my heart almost beat out of my chest, this Victor was just too familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. I admit maybe I was the one who created the flame but I didn't expect it to grow so big.
"I- I- thought it was a dream…" I didn't even know what I was saying anymore, it sounded like excuses.
He pulled me into his embrace putting my ear to his chest, "My hearts beats so vigorously for you, but if you wanted to be free then crush this heart completely or I will trying to completely dominate your very being."
Victor handed me a dagger and pointed it at heart.
"Vic- Victor stop… go back I… I do not wish for our relationship to become like this." I didn't want to hurt him, something in me was wiggling in pain.
Victor firmly hand my hand with the dagger and aimed it at his heart. "I shall not blame you but you must completely crush this heart or else I don't know what I might do. My very being screams to be with you. To love you."
This won't be the first time I killed a man, but as I saw the look in his eyes and the felt the feelings in my chest I just couldn't harm this man.
"I can't," I said completed depleted of energy.
I saw the light in his eyes as he spoke, "Then you must accept me."
