**The Revival**

Sebastian's eyes locked onto Emilia's, and he could see the concern etched on her face. He tried to speak, but his voice was weak and barely audible. Emilia's gaze never wavered, and she took a step closer to him, her eyes welling up with tears. "Sebastian, oh God, I found you," she whispered, her voice trembling. Sebastian's gaze roamed over her face, taking in the worry and fear etched on her features. He tried to reach out to her, but his body felt like lead, his limbs heavy and unresponsive. "Emilia...I'm so sorry," he whispered, his voice cracking. "I didn't mean for you to find me like this." Emilia's eyes dropped to the chain that bound him to the wall, and her expression darkened. "Who did this to you?" she demanded, her voice cold and deadly. Sebastian's eyes drifted away, and he shook his head. "A vampire hunter," he replied, his voice barely above a whisper. "He thought he could kill me with a wooden stake, but I...I'm not like others. I couldn't be killed so easily." Emilia's gaze snapped back to his, and she took another step closer. "But you were dying," she said, her voice filled with wonder. "How did you survive?" Sebastian's eyes seemed to glaze over, and his voice took on a distant tone. "I don't know," he said. "I've never been in such a state before. I was...drained." Emilia's face softened, and she reached out to touch his cheek. "I'm here now," she said. "I won't let anyone hurt you again." Sebastian's eyes snapped back into focus, and he looked at her with a mixture of longing and fear. "Don't touch me, Emilia," he warned, his voice low and husky. "I don't trust myself." But Emilia just smiled, her eyes shining with tears. "I trust you," she said. "And I want to help you." Sebastian's gaze searched hers, and for a moment, they just looked at each other. Then, without another word, Emilia leaned in and pressed her wrist to Sebastian's lips. "Drink," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. Sebastian's eyes widened in shock, and he tried to push her away. "No, Emilia, I don't want to hurt you," he said, his voice strained. But Emilia just smiled, her eyes locked on his. "You need it," she said. "And I want to give it to you." Sebastian's face twisted in a mixture of pain and desire, and for a moment, it seemed like he would give in to his hunger. But then, he seemed to regain control, and he pulled back, his eyes haunted. "Emilia, I...I don't know if I can stop," he warned, his voice barely above a whisper. But Emilia just smiled, her eyes shining with determination. "I trust you," she said. And with that, Sebastian's control snapped. He leaned in, his fangs bared, and Emilia felt a surge of fear mixed with excitement. But as his lips touched her skin, she felt a rush of pleasure, and she closed her eyes, letting him drink. As he fed, Emilia felt her strength return, and she opened her eyes to find Sebastian's gaze locked on hers. He looked...different, his eyes brighter, his skin smoother. He looked alive. And as he pulled back, Emilia smiled, feeling a sense of relief wash over her. But then, Sebastian's eyes seemed to cloud over, and he looked at her with a mixture of fear and longing. "Emilia," he whispered, his voice barely audible. "I...I don't know if I can control myself." Emilia's smile faltered, and she reached out to touch his face. "You won't hurt me," she said, her voice filled with conviction. "I trust you." Sebastian's eyes searched hers, and for a moment, they just looked at each other. Then, without another word, he pulled her into his arms, and Emilia felt herself being drawn into a kiss that left her breathless.
