Darklion extended his hand and placing one under mine and one on top of it he looked me in the eyes.

- Now it's yours, you are now the owner of my life, of my heart.

In the moonlight in that forest clearing once we left the farm house; I could see and read what was written on the walls of what had been Darklion's house.

"Murderer, bitch, witch etc."

There were three that really impressed me when I read them... "What did you do to your husband?" - "What did you do to your SON?" - "What did you do to your family?"

Darklion had turned around so he could get off the porch and help me get off it.

- My mother was a bad woman, evil and frivolous. A woman who had such a rotten soul... She didn't deserve to have my father's love...

And with a strange voice, this time the whistle was heard in it. Different, like... full of rage.

- She didn't deserve mine either...

I approached him and hugged him from behind, listening to him speak like that; With that tone a shiver ran down my spine, it was scary.

He was stiff, motionless. Feeling my arms calmed him; He turned the key and closed the front door. As he turned to face me, he looked at me. I loved Darklion's fierce look, that serious face and those beautiful hazel eyes. He had told me before that he loved my blue eyes; they made him remember the color of his eyes when he was human. Darklion took his left hand out from under his cloak, I looked down to see what he had in it. He had his old notebook.

- This is my gift for you tonight, my beloved Irhin.

He took my hand and placed the notebook in it.

– This is part of my life, my past. You have everything I was, the human who wanted to feel loved. Who wanted to be normal. My true story and something that despite now I hate and love with what remains of my being.

Darklion looked down, a slight expression of sadness; that was combined with his seriousness. If I hadn't seen him so many times, I wouldn't know he could make that expression.

- You my love, you are the only person who knows me beyond being just the king of vampires...

When Darklion took his hand off the book, he had also left the key to the main door of the house.

- All of this belongs only to you.

- But this is something valuable to you... I don't...

- It is, and everything that is valuable to me, is yours.

I accepted it; I nodded. A tear slid down my cheek, I had never felt so valued and loved by someone other than my father, I felt my cheeks warm, I knew they were red.

- I will keep it and I will value it very much!

- I have something else for you...

I looked at Darklion.

- Open it to the first page.

I looked at the notebook and carefully opened it to the first page. I recognized Darklion's beautiful handwriting there.

- Read it, my love.

I read it...

"Ion Black"

- I wasn't always called Darklion Black, that was the name the villagers gave me when I first got sick.

- Is "Ion Black" your real name?

- Yes, that was my real name. I didn't think about it, and I told you when we first met.

- You had said that that was a nickname that vampires had, but did you always give me your real name?

- Yes, I didn't really think about it deeply, I only told you even though I said it was a nickname. Only those who are closest to me can call me that.

- Can I still call you "Ion"?

Darklion hugged me, I put my head on his chest. Then we disappeared. We immediately appeared in the tower closest to the royal chambers of the Palace.

- Are we already in the palace?

- Yes, we are in your castle.

- Why here in the tower?

- Your room has the royal guard; The hallways are full of soldiers... and that lieutenant is there too.

- I should have imagined it, we left when they were coming to my room, they must be looking for me.

- They are desperate, I must leave, dawn is near.

I clung to him a little more.

- Please, kiss me before you go.

Without hesitation Before leaving Darklion kissed me, this kiss was more intense, one of his hands held my face and with the other my waist, sticking me completely to him. He placed his forehead on mine and with a soft whisper he spoke to me.

- I will see you in three days.

- I will be waiting for you, my beloved Ion.

Darklion placed his red lips on mine, giving me one last kiss; and then, he disappeared.
