He stopped over her and Celeste caught her breath. He was so much more in person. Dark hair, pale skin, deep crimson eyes that stared into hers, captivating her. Pulling out a curved knife he sliced through her bonds, which hissed and smoked when they were broken. He then helped her up and off the platform, holding her up with an arm around her shoulders.
Celeste opened her mouth to thank him but couldn't find her voice. He looked down at her, "How wonderful to finally meet you" he said softly, his voice smooth and strong. Her cheeks flushed slightly and he smiled, "Dacian, King of Vampires, at your service my lady" he said formally with a shallow bow. "I-It's good to meet you in person as well, King Dacian..." she stuttered, "I am Celeste."
A glint appeared in his eyes, "What will our people think, the King of darkness and an angel of the light together?" he laughed quietly, Celeste loved the sound of his laughter, she decided. "Celeste, sweet angel, you are the one who has been tugging at my heart, correct?" he asked, eyes hopeful. Celeste nodded slowly, restraining her over-flowing feelings. "I have felt you, there is a connection between us, I believe you know what it is." Her eyes widened, he felt it towards her as well!
His smile widened, "it is love, my dear, and not even our great differences will suppress it." he gazed deep into her eyes, as if searching them for something. "We may not be able to meet very often, but I will contact you as much as I can." now a mischievous glint appeared in his eyes "And if you ever have problems with that other angel, I will always come to your side, so do not hesitate to call out for me."
Celeste smiled as well, "I won't" she whispered, wishing the moment could last forever. "I will be there for you as well, whenever you need, my king," she was finding it hard to keep control over her emotions now.
He leaned down to her, put his hand on her cheek and looked deep into her eyes for a second. Celeste stared back, entranced. He closed his eyes and moved in, his lips brushing hers. Tears finally broke free of her grip and flowed down her face, but he did not pull back. The tears were for joy and sadness, she knew he would have to leave.
When he pulled back, he whispered, "we will be together soon, my love" Then his hand slid off her cheek, leaving the space it had occupied feeling cold and silently walked out the open door, leaving her with tears streaking the sides of her face.
