Love Agreement With The King

It was the third day of practice and Abigail was doing huge steps in improving her capabilities, she was improving quickly and getting stronger at sight, John even questioned her powers as he rarely found someone as promising and as quick learning l Abigail.

Maybe she was just naturally skilled, however, he was glad she was strong which meant she would be able to defend herself in case she ever got in a dangerous situation.

Usually at first when vampires grow their powers and become stronger they always take a while to do so and to learn how to settle and how to get stronger but Abigail seemed natural at that. Maybe the days she spent unable to contain her irritability and controlled by her hunger and instincts made her stronger.

"Good job!" John said after a match where Abigail stand up to him quite well. Abigail smiled as

she wiped off the sweat drops that formed on her forehead, as she walked closer to him and they both turned around to head back inside as they were practicing in the garden.

John tilted his head to the side, "how is the human's blood craving?" John asked, arching his eyebrows.

Abigail gasped as his eyes only at the thought shined of red light, "It is uncontrollable. I even think I can go crazy sometimes." Abigail confessed as she took a deep breath. "When it's too hard to do so I have to remind myself what I wanted to do to the child and I scratch my arm to try to contain it and control my desires."

John hinted a smile as he nodded, "it is hard at the beginning, but meat and blood are not worth it or necessary for surviving."

Abigail didn't feel reassured by John's words on the contrary it was like they were empty words as that motivation didn't change her craving nor stopped them.

John traveled down his gaze to Abigail's belly which was so prominent and huge, the child grow in few weeks and it seemed like she could give birth soon.

"The child is growing, this is a good sign. Sometimes vampires struggle and they aren't able to give birth or grow a child without the need for human blood. Yours is growing fast and well which only means you're getting stronger at the same time as the baby." John reassured her as he placed a hand over her belly and tried to feel the baby's heartbeat with his overdeveloped senses.

"I can hear his heartbeat." John smiled and as soon as Abigail heard him she smiled too as her eyes shined and filled with tears.

"It's fast and ponderous," John said while Abigail's smile grew bigger.

"I still want to grow my son with good values even if I struggle with controlling my powers," Abigail said. She with difficulty gazed up to John who smiled supportively, even if her sentence sounded like a paradox he understood her reasons.

"This is why I am trying to put all my efforts into practice because I want to improve and fully control my instincts before the baby will be born. I don't want to hurt him in any way." Abigail explained herself with a lump in her voice that made her voice rang broke.

"You will be able to do that. I promise you." John reassured her.

"I was thinking maybe I could ask Roselyn to help me?" Abigail asked as she smiled at John in a pleading gaze like if she was begging him to let her visit her sister.

John hesitated, he wasn't sure about accepting Abigail's request. Roselyn still has human blood and he couldn't allow Abigail to get closer to her, not until she didn't fully learn how to control her powers.

How could he explain his doubts to Abigail without offending her or without making her feel wrong? John didn't want to hurt her feelings but either did he want Roselyn to get hurt by Abigail or put her at risk.

"You will," John said trying to change the matter as they headed back inside.

Abigail's smile turned into a thin line as she understood he didn't want to let her see Roselyn, she could feel slightly disappointed and at the same time sad to be considered by him a potential danger for Rose.

"What about now?" Abigail said as she forced a smile on her face but her voice sounded just as irritated as she truly was.

Luckily Victor noticed they returned home and welcomed Abigail with a huge bottle of blood.

John ignored Abigail pretending he didn't hear her as he spoke to Victor, "I was just cheering her for improving a lot in such a short time." John exclaimed but Abigail didn't stop staring at him with an irritated frown.

"I am glad to hear such a positive thing! I truly am!" Victor said as he went to caress Abigail's shoulder while he handed her the filled bottle.

Abigail finally flinched around as she smiled at Victor and grabbed the bottle to drink from it.

She took a breath after sipping from it as she felt more charged.

"I will go now," John said as he smiled at both of them and turned around to head back home.

Abigail monitored him with the corner of her eye and as soon as she saw John speeding back home she dropped the bottle to distract Victor and she speeded following John.

Victor's gaze unconsciously followed the bottle breaking down the floor and when he gazed up to look confused at Abigail she was disappeared.

Victor took a resigned breath as he scoffed nervously.

John knocked over the door of his castle while Abigail carefully kept an eye on him, she planned to sneak inside as soon as John entered the house before the door closed. She was staying afar from him just as he taught her in the lessons, vampire' senses and perception works at a distance of a maximum of 100 meters, over that distance, the senses become more unclear and not as precise.

Abigail held her breath in fear and worry as she saw John knitting his eyebrows and look around the surroundings suspiciously as if he could feel something weird was happening.
