Drabble 14: His Love Remains
Category: Blogging

Sonja was in and out of consciousness as she heard her husband yelling for his son, before she could hear anything more her mind started drifting. Struggling to keep herself in the present hour with her husband and kids, all Sonja could do was try to keep her mind listening to them. Hearing her daughter scream as Sonja couldn’t do anything to comfort her, the only sound was a thud as her son Jerick held onto his older sister as she cried for her mother. “Alaric! Take Elizabeth from Jerick, Jerick call him.. I don’t want him near her but I have no other choice..” Lucian yelled as he held onto his wife, running a hand through her hair as his tears fell not wanting to lose her again, “Please Jerick I am begging you, please call him I can’t lose her again.” Lucian said as a plead to his son. Jerick stood there shocked that Lucian would not even hesitate to bring his father around his mother, seeing the fear in his eyes as Jerick picked his phone up dialing the number he hadn’t touched in years.

As Jerick pulled his phone out of his pocket it fell to the floor, he was shaking trying to calm himself as he searched for his fathers number through tears. Finding the number as he pushed call he was impatient walking in a circle as the number went to voicemail, trying again as he whispered pleads to himself that his father would answer. Elizabeth sat there silent until she heard his voice, the little girl in her screaming as she fumbled around with her words before hearing his voice. “Elizabeth? Darling what’s wrong? You haven’t called me in ages?” His voice was like low drum in her ears, Liza tried to take a breath but it was caught in her throat as she looked to the man who was her father. Liza looked at him with tears in her eyes as she mouthed ‘I’m so sorry daddy’ to Lucian, hearing his voice again in her ear as her heart stopped for a moment. Collecting herself felt like ages, “Daddy its momma… momma is dying…” Liza said through a broken voice and tears. Her phone was silent as Jacob her dad was in shock, as he heard his daughter call to him he lowered his head. Jacob stood up quickly as he grabbed his jacket slamming his front door shut behind him, “I’m coming princess, don’t let your mother fall asleep. I’m coming my love, I’ll be there soon.” He said before closing his phone before taking off running.

As the line went dead Elizabeth sat there, wrapping her arms around her torso as she cried. Liza didn’t want to call him but she feared she had no other choice, she knew her dad needed Jacob’s help and with her brother unable to reach him she had to do it. Lucian looked over to his daughter calling to her but noticing she wasn’t listening to him, looking over to his son Lucian sighed not wanting to let his wife out of his arms. “Alaric you and Kali come here please hold onto your mother and watch her I need to calm your sister down.” Lucian pleaded with them seeing his children immobile as he felt a hand on his shoulder, looking to Jerick as he nodded gently letting his wife go before walking over to his daughter. Elizabeth sat there completely immobile as she stared at the ground, a buzzing in her ear as she felt her fathers hands gently grabbing her arms, looking up as her eyes and ears focused on her father. Hearing a knock on the door as Liza gently grabs a hold of her fathers arm, he mind reacting to how she would as a young girl. Lucian looking down to see his daughter as he pulls her closer to him, “Here let us both go and answer it, I won’t let him hurt you or anyone in this house again my little wolf.” Lucian said with a smile before standing to his feet.

Jerick stood there watching his dad and sister open the door, seeing his blood father as Jerick lowered his head. Jerick moved over to his mother as he took her from his sibling, his mother was cold in his arms as he looked to his father trying to hold back tears. Jacob smiled lightly to his daughter and Lucian as he gently moved past them trying to get to Sonja and his son, as he sat down next to his son he gently took his “wife’s” body as he looked through his bag for a syringe. Sticking himself with the needle to draw out some blood for Sonja Jacob felt his sons head leaning on his shoulder, “Jerick she’s going to be fine son do not worry, your mother is very strong she can and will make it out of this.” Jacob said before removing the needle from his arm. Hesitating for a moment as Jacob looked to Lucian, “She will be fine… But this will re-link our souls together.” he said before putting the needle into Sonja’s chest making sure it went deep enough to puncture her heart.

Moments had past before Sonja finally took a breath, her blue hues looking up to her ex-husband as she looked from him to her son. Sonja’s eyes searching the room until she seen her husband Lucian standing not three feet from her as she smiled lightly to him, before she could say anything Jacob had pulled her up gently as he held her for a moment. Jacob’s hand gently brushing through his “wife’s” hair as he sat there with her, “How are you feeling?” Jacob asked with a shaky voice as he looked to her. Sonja looked up to her ex as she bit the inside of her cheek not knowing the answer to his question, this was the first caring moment between the two in one hundred and nineteen years. The first time Sonja has seen him since she left back in 1905, her heart fluttering a little as she looked from Jacob to Lucian.

Sonja stood up quickly as to get away from Jacob, when her legs attempted to move she felt herself falling. Lucian quickly running to her as he holds her up, seeing the worry in her eyes as all he could do was hold his wife close. Lucian looked down to Sonja as he kept her close, “It’s alright my love you are safe, just breath you’re going to be fine.” watching his wife’s expression changing from worried and scared to slightly calmer but still on the edge as he smiled lightly to her. Jacob sat there for a moment watching his “wife” making sure she was stable as his son Jerick and his “daughter” Elizabeth ran to their mother, seeing how happy his little “family” was with their new found family made his heart grow darker. Knowing he had to get out before something happened Jacob stood up collecting his things before leaving the room, hearing footsteps behind him as Lucian was coming to thank him for saving Sonja.

Jacob turned around seeing Lucian as he held a hand up before Lucian could speak, “No need to thank me, I didn’t do this for you… I did it for my son and Elizabeth..” he said with a sigh. Looking past his “wife’s” lover as he looks at how his love and children were holding each other, Jacob turned to walk away before feeling a hand around his arm. Jacob turned seeing Sonja’s hands gently holding onto his arm as he pulled her closer, his hand on the back of her head so he could hide his tears. After a moment Jacob gently pulled away from Sonja as he smiled lightly kissing her forehead, he knew this might be the last time he would ever see her. The pain in his chest grew as he turned and walked out of the house, disappearing behind the trees.

Sonja stood there beside Lucian as she watched Jacob walking back towards the forest, a sigh escaping her as she felt her two oldest running past her. Seeing her son and daughter running to the man they always knew as their father, hearing Elizabeth calling to the man she called dad for over 500 years. Watching her children hug the man the called dad before walking back to the house, Sonja’s eyes laid onto Jacob one final time as moved his lips without a spoken word. Sonja’s heart sank as she watched him saying he loved her, turning seeing her husband and children walking back into the house as she smiled through tears telling him she loved him as well before walking back into the house.
