Her Freezing Heart

Chapter 30- Amara

I stirred in the bed to find myself restricted to move in a very dark room. Yup I freaked out and kicked

everything I can touch. I heard a ‘umphh’ followed by a huge thud and the lights turned on. I found a

very angry Steven glaring at me from beside the lamp after my eyes adjusted to the sudden light. I

grinned at him apologetically and mad a dash for it but as soon as my feet touched the floor, my legs

turned jelly and I lost my balance. I don’t think I have gained the feelings back in them completely yet. I

readied myself for the face plant with the ground but it never came. Steven had already picked me up

in his arms. My knight in shining armor who is very angry at the moment. I think I should make a run for

it.

“You know you almost had a very interesting interaction with the hard floor right?” Steven said amused.

I nodded and hid my face in the crook of his neck, blushing madly. He laughed at my expense making

me pout.

“You are adorable.” He said pecking my pouty lips.

I poked my tongue at him playfully but my stomach decided to screech like a dying whale in the very

moment making my face heat up in embarrassment. Please mother earth, open up and swallow me

whole. Steven gave a booming laugh and carried me to the living room and plopped me beside a very

gloomy Austin. Austin looked to be besides himself. I looked at Steven for explanation but he just

shrugged and left towards the kitchen. He did look a little worried though.

“Austin.” I called touching his hand.

He jerked out of his trance and looked around wildly, scaring the shit out of me. His eyes then landed

on my hand and then me. He forced a smile towards me.

“Are you alright?” I asked him.

“Yeah.” He was lying. “Shouldn’t I be the one asking you that?”

“You don’t look okay.’’ I replied ignoring his later question.

“Just thinking. That’s all.” This time he smiled genuinely. “What about you? How are you feeling?”

“My limbs feel like jelly but beside that I am perfectly fine. I will be back to normal once I eat

something.” I said grinning.

“Good. Now that’s the Amara I was missing.” He said playfully.

We heard a very prominent hiss from the kitchen. Yup! Loud enough for my non sensitive ears. Austin

gave a very booming laugh.

“You have a very possessive boyfriend.” Austin said smirking.

“We are not dating.” I mumbled.

He haven’t asked me out yet.

“Yes we are.” Steven shouted from the kitchen.

“You haven’t asked me out yet.” I fired back.

“Doesn’t matter. We are dating. We are going on a date tomorrow.” Steven replied stubbornly.

All the while Austin was rolling on the couch, laughing his head off. I blushed at Steven’s blunt

declaration. The delicious scent of mac and cheese wafted out of the kitchen making my mouth water.

Steven came out of the kitchen with a plate holding a mound of creamy mac and cheese. I actually

licked my lips looking at it.

“You are drooling.” Austin sniggered.

Steven smirked at me when I wiped the drool out of the corner of my mouth. I just stretched my hands

towards the plate. My stomach called for it quite shameless. When it comes to food, I can be really

blatant. Steven handed me the plate full of heaven laughing his ass off. I placed it on the table and

started shoving the food in my mouth. It just melted right away in my mouth. I was done eating in a

matter of minutes. Steven handed me a glass of orange juice while Austin was looking at me with his

mouth hanging open.

“What’s going on over here?” Aaron said coming towards us.

He looked at the two stunned vampires in the room and then looked at me and the empty plate. I

grinned at him.

“You haven’t seen her eat when she is really hungry before, have you?” Aaron asked amused.

I blushed from his statement. I am not that bad. Okay I am when it comes to food. Besides who doesn’t

like food?

“Well if you don’t mind, I would like my best friend back.” Aaron said to us.

Steven hissed quite maliciously and pulled me in his arms. From the looks of Aaron, Steven must be

giving him a hard glare. I looked at him to find his iris and pupil had turned red. Woah!

“Umm Steve.” Austin started but Steven shut him up with a growl.

He tightened his arms around me to the point that it had become painful and started walking

backwards. What the hell! Aaron looked scared out of his mind while Austin looked worried.

“Steve you are hurting her.” Austin said.

Steven gasped and loosened his hold a little but didn’t let go of me. He looked at me with a very

saddened expression. Somethings not right. Why are his eyes red?

“Steven are you alright?” I asked taking his face in my palm.

He just leaned into my palms and looked at me with a very weird expression.

“Steve she is not your mate.” Austin said in stern voice. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

“MINE.” Steven growled at him and buried his face in the crook of my neck.

Austin cursed under his breath. I just couldn’t wrap my head around what was happening. All of a

sudden, Steven was pushed into the wall and a force field was surrounding him making him unable to

move. I looked behind me to find Cassidy marching towards us, fuming in anger. I haven’t seen her like

like this before. Austin pulled me back but as soon as he tried to push me behind him Steven gave a

very strong push on the force field and snapped his jaws. Woah! Cassidy was pushed back a little by

the impact. He was trying to push against the force field and he succeeding. Cassidy changed the

direction and forced him on his knees pushing him on the floor. His eyes never left mine during all this

commotion. He looked desperate like if he would take his eyes off of me, I will disappear. I need to do

something.

I made my way towards him ignoring everyone's protest and sat right outside the force field. He was

following my every move. I placed my hand on the sphere and pushed in. My hand went right inside

without any force or anything. I touched Steven’s face with my fingers and cupped his face, smiling at

him. He nuzzled into my palm. He looked dazed but his eyes were still red. I moved forward and

entered the the force field. It felt the same way when I passed the entrance of the forest where Xander

was. I don’t know why I am doing this but it felt the right thing to do. As soon as I was inside, Steven

pulled me towards him and buried his nose in the crook of my neck, circling his arms around me. I

combed my fingers through his hairs to clam him down. I think it was working. He was taking deep

breaths.
