Piper beamed when he told her he wasn’t stalking her. That
was a good thing and it was even better to hear out loud; she didn’t think she
could take that right now on top of everything else. As the encounter and the
exchange moved into her problems with Dan and why it couldn’t be fixed, Piper
realized that what Axel was telling her was actually making a lot of sense. It
hadn’t occurred to her that it wasn’t fair to her or Dan the more he pushed.
She knew it wasn’t her secret, therefore she couldn’t tell; that had been her
stance on it all along. She also knew, somewhere deep inside where she didn’t
want to admit because it would bring it to the surface, that it was true that
if Dan didn’t understand then he obviously didn’t really truly love Piper. Not
in the way that truly mattered…“That…has been exactly my point this entire time. My stance
hasn’t wavered at all since we got together and maybe eventually I would have
been able to tell him but…it’s not the right time and it turns out it wasn’t
that serious to where I should have even been worried about being that honest.”
Piper’s eyes move over him as she speaks, watching him. He’s definitely not…normal.
That should feel familiar to her now, and in a way it does. She’s just…trying
to figure out what that means and just why she’s not completely unsettled by it…Piper’s brows furrow together over her dark eyes as she
tries to put it all together from what little he’s actually told her. She gets
the gist of it all but there’s no actual answer to be had there. “That’s…not
telling me very much Axel. To be fair, I’ve told you a lot more about me and my
sisters without actually telling you. You could at least…allude to what kind of
curse it was…? That would be okay. I can put it together from there.”
“Maybe you should give Dan another chance, tell him as much as you can with out saying everything, Im sure he will be happy that you compromised and decided to tell him something. Though by the sounds of it he will have to get used to you disappearing.” Axel said with a laugh as he smiled at her, he liked being around Piper as she was easy to get on with, talking to her wasn’t hard and they just seemed to connect.
He watched as she frowned and looked at him, he knew that she wasn’t happy with his answer but he couldnt tell her, not yet at least.
His smile faded as she tried to pry a little more into what he was, he didnt know if she would try to kill him if he told her or what would actually happen. “Not really, you have told me you have sisters and that you have secrets that you can not tell your ex boyfriend. I understand that you can not tell me as you have only just met me and it is the same for me Piper.” He told her with a sigh as he looked down, he knew secrets were not a good thing even if you had just met the person, but this was one thing that he had to get to know the person first before telling them.
“Its a curse where I never die.” He told her. “I am almost 500 years old.” He explained, that was all he could actually tell her without telling her that he was a creature that could only go out in the day time and had to drink blood to live. “Thats all I can tell you.”
