Chapter 21 COULD I REALLY LOVE A VAMPIRE?

VALENTIN'S POINT OF VIEW 
I was lost in the moment, my fangs sunk deep into the warm flesh of my victim. The blood was intoxicating, and I felt my senses come alive.
But then, I sensed her presence. Ava. She was standing there, frozen in shock, her eyes fixed on me with a mixture of horror and fascination.
I knew I had to act fast. I couldn't let her expose me, not now, not ever. I quickly withdrew my fangs and pulled away from the girl, who slumped to the ground, unconscious.
Ava didn't move, didn't speak. She just kept staring at me, her eyes wide with fear.
I knew I had to make a choice. I could either try to explain, to make her understand, or I could flee, leave her to wonder if she had really seen what she thought she had.
I chose to flee. I vanished into the night, leaving Ava alone with her thoughts.
But I knew this wasn't the end. Ava had seen me, seen what I truly was. And I knew she would never look at me the same way again.
I cursed myself for being so careless, for letting my thirst for blood cloud my judgment. Now, I had put everything at risk. My secret, my relationship with Ava, everything.
I vowed to stay away from her, to keep my distance. But deep down, I knew it was too late. Ava had seen the monster that I was, and nothing would ever be the same again.
I paced back and forth in my room, my mind racing with thoughts of Ava. I had tried so hard to suppress my thirst for human blood, to be with her without succumbing to my true nature. But now that she was gone, I felt the hunger rising up again, impossible to ignore.
I stopped pacing and stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection. I saw the monster that Ava saw, the creature with fangs and glowing eyes. How could I ever expect her to love me, to see past this?
I thought of all the times I had tried to be with her, to be human for her sake. But it was all a lie, a facade. I was a vampire, a creature of the night, and I couldn't change that.
I felt a wave of despair wash over me. I would never be able to express my love to Ava, not now that she knew the truth. She would always see me as a monster, a creature to be feared and reviled.
I turned away from the mirror and walked to the window, staring out into the night. I felt the call of the darkness, the thrill of the hunt. It was what I was meant to do, what I was born to do.
But I couldn't shake the thought of Ava, of her smile and her laughter. I loved her, I realized, more than I loved the blood that sustained me.
And in that moment, I knew what I had to do. I would find a way to be with Ava, to make her see past the monster and love me for who I truly was. Even if it killed me.
AVA'S POINT OF VIEW 
It's been two weeks since that fateful night on the rooftop. Two weeks since I saw Valentin's true face, his fangs sunk deep into that girl's neck. Two weeks since I've seen or heard from him.
It's as if he vanished into thin air, leaving me with more questions than answers. Did he really exist, or was it all just a dream? A nightmare, rather.
And Max, he's gone too. I've tried reaching out to him, but his phone's dead, his social media accounts inactive.
It's as if all the vampires, if that's what they were, disappeared that night. Leaving me to wonder if I really saw what I thought I saw.
But I know what I saw. I know what I felt. The fear, the revulsion, the sense of betrayal.
I've tried to move on, to focus on my studies, my friends, my life. But I can't shake off the feeling that something's off, that something's watching me from the shadows.
I've started to doubt my own sanity. Did I really see Valentin's fangs, or was it just my imagination playing tricks on me?
But deep down, I know the truth. I know what I saw, and I know what I felt. And I know that I'll never be able to look at the world in the same way again.
One day when I was out getting some groceries, I saw valentin.
I stood there, frozen, as Valentin's eyes met mine. It was like no time had passed at all, yet everything had changed.
"Where have you been?" I asked, trying to sound calm, but my voice shook slightly.
Valentin sighed and looked away, his eyes scanning the crowded street. "I thought it was best if I disappeared from your life completely," he said, his voice low and husky.
I felt a pang of hurt and anger. "Best for who?" I demanded. "You just vanished without a word, without an explanation. What was I supposed to think?"
Valentin turned back to me, his eyes filled with a deep sadness. "I didn't want to hurt you, Ava. I didn't want to put you in danger. I thought it was better if I just left."
I shook my head, trying to process everything. "Danger? What are you talking about?"
Valentin hesitated, then nodded slightly. "Come with me," he said. "I'll explain everything."
I hesitated for a moment, unsure if I should trust him. But something in his eyes made me follow him, made me want to hear what he had to say.
We walked in silence, winding through the crowded streets until we reached a small café. Valentin pushed open the door and gestured for me to enter.
I did, my heart pounding in my chest. What was he going to tell me? And why did I still feel this pull towards him, despite everything?
I was taken aback by the sudden intimacy of the moment. The empty café, the stool, Valentin kneeling down in front of me... it all felt so surreal.
"Who do I need to be to win your heart?" he asked again, his eyes locked on mine.
I felt a lump form in my throat as I tried to process the question. Who did I want him to be? The Valentin I thought I knew, or the vampire I saw on the rooftop?
"I don't know," I said finally, my voice barely above a whisper.
Valentin nodded, his eyes never leaving mine. "I know I've hurt you, Ava. I know I've lied to you and put you in danger. But I promise you, I will do whatever it takes to make it right. To be the one you want me to be."
I felt a tear roll down my cheek as I looked at him. He was so sincere, so desperate to win me back.
"Why?" I asked, my voice cracking. "Why do you want to be with me so badly?"
Valentin's face contorted in a mixture of pain and longing. "Because I love you, Ava. I love you more than anything in this world. And I will do whatever it takes to make you love me back."
I felt my heart skip a beat as I looked at him. Could I really trust him again? Could I really love a vampire?
