Like a delicate flower blooming (S1 Ep.14-8)

Tuesday, December 24

The House lights were shutting down one by one. Only the lamp in my room was left. And the hours passed by us like two old acquaintances put up to date the conversation.

Rose: The night is getting clearer, isn't it?

Seth: Soon the Sun will rise.

Rose: Seriously?! What time is it?

Seth: Almost six...

Rose: In the morning? – He nodded with a gesture of his head, in affirmation to my question. - I have to go... Soon my mother will be up, we have to make the arrangements for this afternoon. – Smiled looking at my enthusiasm. I was tired, but I could have kept the rest of the day talking with him. And so I followed my heart. – Do you want to come to spend Christmas Eve with us?

Seth: Rose…

Rose: You're going to spend with Joan’s family? Sorry, it's also your family.

Seth: It's okay. No, I'm not. It's not easy to go to a family reunion when I don't get older! Especially when there's too much history to be protected.

Rose: You never spent Christmas with them?

Seth: Yes, several. Until Joan was born and I become a danger. So I left!

Rose: Come spend this night with us?! - I wanted to ask him why, but I didn't. - My mom won't mind, believe me!

Seth: I… I think it's better not to come.

Rose: My brothers begin to arrive around six pm. Typically, we begin to have supper around eight pm., okay?! - I gave him a goodbye kiss in the cheek – See you soon! Good night ... Dawn?!

When I got to my bedroom Kat was sitting by the window. I went to cuddle him and peeked into the garden, but he wasn't there. Prepared myself to sleep and let me fall into dreams. I haven't slept in like that for so long. My heart was full, I felt so peaceful.

While I was sleeping Mikhael stayed next to my bedroom window, sitting on the tiles, sensing the joy of my heart, thinking about how much he wanted to tell the truth, fearing my acceptance, recalling the words of his sweet sister when she saw the reality created in their past - "what kind of monster are you?!".

Seth: "How can I show my true nature?" She will never accept me...
