Julian came in as silently as he could and tried not to move too fast. He didn't want her to wake up and he hoped she already slept. As he came into the room, Julian noticed she already cuddled with his favourite blanket and Mia felt well there. She was calm and settled. She looked very beautiful in the candle light. Her face was gorgeous and her eyelashes were causing some shadows on her cheeks. Mia was breathing steadily and she didn't move. She didn't intend to make a sound. She wanted to lay there and rest. Relaxed and in peace... Moreover, she wanted to get rid of the pain that waited for her around the corner of her current perception.
He thought she was asleep and blew out the candles. Apparently, she wasn't asleep and she kept her breath in longer than before. Then she was lying still and listened for a while. He was here to give her more time. She needed to rest and she needed time to rest. He promised her to leave her in peace after all, so he had to use every time he could find to have her here. He slowed down the time and stood near the bed so he could watch her in the light of the night. Her hair was scattered on the long bolster. Her mouth was a little bit open and she tried not to breathe through her nose. She was covered up to her cheeks. Then she opened her eyes surprisingly and looked around. After a while, she sat up and looked around for a second time.
He was confused by her behaviour. Was she looking for him? Mia had it written on her face. Who else was she looking for? However, could she feel him here? It was impossible. No human was able to feel him when he was invisible.
It worried him that he wasn't able to read her like anybody else and her behaviour was suspicious. Even so, she wasn't one of them either. She was a human being for sure. He had every proof for it. She was bleeding and she had a beating heart. She percepted pain and temperature. She wasn't able to do things he could easily do. Still she was very sensitive and damageable. The wound he stitched tonight was a scary thing: deep and sharp. Why did someone hurt her and why did she go to Sebastian knowing she was wounded? It wasn't just a cut. It was professional, intentional and it should be handled qualified. Obviously, she didn't plan to go to any doctor, which worried him even more. She wanted to keep it for herself. She has not been running with Sebastian for some days. It could have been because of her current state, and on the other hand, it could have no meaning for it at all.
Julian looked at Sebastian through his power over thoughts. His best friend was in sorrow, because ‘his’ girl left his party so unexpectedly. Furthermore, she wasn't alone. Sebastian had already started to tidy up his apartment after his guests left. There were not any special thoughts in his head, which bothered Julian.
That is why he continued to watch her. She was sleeping. He was sure, after she fell asleep she moved a couple of times. He came closer and almost touched her hand. He was trembling a little because he wanted to touch her and at the same time, he didn't want to wake her up. Still, he intended to send her some of his energy so that she could recover faster. In this slowed turn of time, he saw some of the rays, which came from him and went into her. His hands were very close to her. These rays were very thin and their light was unbelievably sapphire-like and sparkled like a jewel. The connection between them was already made. It was against the rules but he didn't care. Until now, no family member practised the energy transfer with not-dying people. Helping human beings in this way was only allowed in a case of emergency or if a human was dying. Through this transfer, Julian was losing a part of his energy, but he gave it to people who should not suffer or be conscious about their condition. It wasn't practised with people who were just sick. For Julian, Mia was now a case of emergency. She was his private case of emergency and therefore she should not undergo this pain. He assumed that his power would upgrade her average level, but he didn't know when to stop. It was a question of control and rating. Wrong estimation could cost her life. She was just a human being and she wasn't able to go through everything what he was able to manage.
Through this connection, they were bonded forever. Now he could feel her for the rest of eternity. There was no turning back since Julian let himself fall in love with Mia.
