Chapter 5 Five
Vaelunie pov
It was already nightfall and I couldn't even go outside without having to drag this one with me. How did this happen to me? I was really happy that I would start living on my own and now I have to worry about this unexpected situation.
“Who did you buy this house from? I need to see the person" He asked impatiently.
"I bought the house in the city ,the fifth shop located at the roseville street” I replied in a dismissive tone.
" And where is that? Forget it tomorrow you are taking me to the person who sold this house to you and don't think about running away, " oh you can't because of this thread" he replied,his attitude made me scoff, why is he acting like he was some kind of royalty, the way he carried himself and his attitude, though he was dressed in a torn robe that was too large for him,I wonder where he got it from and his hair was long,it reached his waist it was covering his face,I couldn't make out his full face clearly.
He has a nice build and was tall ,if he wanted to harm me,he wouldn't have waited till I woke up and my pouch was still around my waist,he could have taken it.
“ What's your name?" I asked to walk over to sit on the edge of the bed,it made a cracking sound, using a little bit of strength would make it fall apart.
“I am Eryndor Ithravorn and you are?" He asked.
“Vaelunie Solavinne" I replied, he frowned like he was thinking about something.
“I have never heard of that surname before,are you related to any of the nobles or just a commoner?" he asked.
Commoner? That was unexpected, I am the last eclipsian and I was well respected. Back in the mortal realm, immortals were believed not to have existed and were merely stories,I don't know about here, in the immortal world there was no such thing as looking down on one's identity.
"I don't belong to any family” I replied and then let out a yawn, I was hungry and I haven't eaten anything since I left that house, I even bought a few snacks on my way to this place.
I looked around the room,it wasn't here,then it would be downstairs,I stood up about to leave the room and his voice stopped me.
“ Where are you going?" He asked if I stopped in my tracks and I didn't turn around.
“I am going downstairs to get my things” I replied and was about to take another step but something pulled my hand and I looked down,it was the golden thread.
Hell no, are we really stuck together,I tried walking but I couldn't even get closer to the door without having the thread pulling me back.
“I told you" he said as he leaned back on the couch ,I glared at him, finding his calmness frustrating.
I took a deep breath before I snapped at him, I didn't want to waste my energy talking to him again “I am hungry and I need to get something I left downstairs" I said,he crossed his legs and relaxed on the couch.
“I am too tired to stand up, leave it for tomorrow" He waved his hand,I was speechless.
“You seriously are a piece of work" I said through gritted teeth and clenched fist.
If he wasn't going to listen in the easy way, then I should not bother wasting words on him,I pulled my hand where the thread was tied up and it appeared immediately, I pulled it harder using my strength, I couldn't afford to trigger any reaction in my body right now by using my power, but i would be able to force him to walk even if I have to drag him on the floor.
The first pull didn't move him much and then I pulled a lot harder to drag him off the couch and he fell on his stomach and looked at me with his eyes wide open in shock.
"If you don't want to walk fine, then be ready to have your body dragged downstairs” I said with a knowing smile and then without waiting for him to respond I pulled my hand harder and he was dragged along.
" What do you think you are doing? Do you even know who I am? I can have you punished for disrespecting me” he shouted angrily ,I snorted, not even bothered about what he was saying, I was too hungry to listen to him.
“From where I can see it,you are just throwing a tantrum, I don't care who you are or how important you are, I am going downstairs and if you don't want to walk on your two feet that's not my problem, blame the thread binding us together" I replied still pulling my hand, he was heavy sure and I still weak, but that didn't stop me from dragging him across the floor.
“Fine, I will go with you" I replied and I stopped pulling my hand and smiled at him,he walked past me and I followed behind.
He was clearly unhappy but I didn't care if he was angry, I needed to eat something. When we reached downstairs I looked around for where I dropped the package I came with. The whole place was lit up with the same flickering light and that made it easier to walk around.
I found the package at the side of the room, where I had left it earlier before I went outside. I walked over and then picked it up and opened it. It wasn't ruined yet, though it had already run cold, but I was still hungry.
I brought out the snack and bit into it,I sigh as the snack entered my mouth, I chewed on it and turned around to walk back upstairs.
I stretched out my hand and held out the other remaining one for Eryndor to take, he looked at it and shook his head.
“I am not hungry" I replied and then walked ahead of me, I shrugged, it was too good to give away.
I continued eating as we both went upstairs and back into the room. I looked at the wardrobe at the corner, and pulled it open checking to see if there was anything I could find that might replace the bedspread. It was too dusty and I couldn't leave to buy new things.
I pulled out a faded bedspread. It was manageable. At least I won't have to worry about it being too dusty to use.
Eryndor didn't say anything and just watched me with his hands crossed, I changed the sheets and laid down. I didn't know what
he was thinking but I was too tired , he should handle himself.
