Elias woke up alone. He didn't think he'd fall asleep waiting for her to wake up. Pure-Bloods like him didn't need to sleep, but the more time he spent with her, the more "human" he felt. When he touched the bed, expecting her soft skin, and felt nothing, his eyes snapped open.

Elias shot out of his chair, spinning around in disbelief. The bed was cold. She had left him. A thousand possibilities went through his head. Was she kidnapped? The windows were locked. Did she run away? She was pregnant with his child. Where did she go?

Elias's heart raced and for once, he felt raw fear. He stormed to the bathroom and swung the doors open, finding them empty. He walked the closest and found it empty. She was nowhere in the room.

"So you've chosen to run," Elias growled under his breath. Just then, the doors softly clicked and he swiveled around.
