The war

"Why should I trust you?" Then he instantly answered me the same typical answer as before, " You chose to believe whatever you like princess, it's all up to you. See you .. And soon." He then vanished right away, and I was left alone again and confused.

----------------------------------------

The three days I was waiting for went as fast as I could remember, Elijah was a quietly good companion. Though he's a bit mysterious, and he doesn't answer most of my questions, he's way too funny and entertaining most of the time.

Did I ever say that everything about him screams my type? Well, if I didn't that would be my bad. I mean if it wasn't for Liam and the stupid mate pull I would definitely be crushing over this dude.

Unfortunately, I'm all about Liam since I met him, the funny thing is that I only know him for about a month, and I spent part of that month dead. I'm trying my best not to think about him, not to wonder where is he? Or what is he doing? Is he thinking about me like I'm doing now or enjoying the company of Selina? But it's not working at all. As I was told, my father would be back any minute from today, which means I will be finally able to see him for the first time, not to mention I would be free from this stupid boring room.

I wouldn't be lying if I told you that I'm more than excited. A million questions are running in my head, and I can't wait to have answers.

While thinking, I was interrupted by Elijah's presence - and I got to say, it's something I'm used to after spending four days in this place. '' What are you thinking about? Why are you still here? I thought that the moment the shield would be off, you wouldn't waste another minute locked in the room. Aren't you excited to see your father, or to have a tour in the palace where you were born?'' He was talking on non-stop, while I was having a difficulty trying to understand what he was saying.

As I realized what was going on I stopped him and asked '' Do you mean that I can finally leave from her?'' He gives me a sorry smile then adds, "Not the palace but only the room.'' ''Okay! How my fath ... I mean the vampire king, when am I going to meet him?'' I wondered not trying to hide how much I wanted to see my father. '' That's one of the reasons why I am exactly here.'' He said then pointed to a beautiful short red dress in the middle of the bed along with some boxes that seemed to contain some fancy jewels and shoes, then he continued '' In order to celebrate the king's return, there will be a banquet this evening in the palace hall. His majesty is expecting to meet you there.

While he was explaining, I felt that something was wrong '' Why can't he see me now? Why can't we see each other right now?'' I wondered, and he answered me right away '' The king had some important matters to look at before doing anything, it's related to the Lycan's and werewolves war. As a king, he's doing the best he can to protect and keep his people safe .... '' Again I found myself cutting him up '' Wait .. Wait .. Wait .... What war are you talking about?'' He gave me that obvious look, then he said '' the vampires // werewolves war .. Duh, ''

Again he was making fun of my lack of information, and it's kinda annoying me.'' Duh ?! Well if you never notice, I grew up among humans not having any sort of relation to the world I'm stepping in. So it's normal not to know anything about the war.'' I explained and he laughed again. My oh my, he's going to drive me out of sane with his childish attitudes '' Okay fine .. I don't need to know anything from you'' I said while stumbling away from him. '' Did I ever tell you that you look adorable when you're angry?'' He said while grabbing me back to my bed, then sat along while facing me '' Hundreds of years ago, vampires and werewolves used to live together not really in harmony, but it was a mutual respect that was keeping the peace around. Every and each part used to have their own territories where only her kind can live in, not until the werewolves attacked us by the lead of their Lycan's king…'' - '' Why did the Lycans attack vampires?'' I wondered again, '' they claimed that we were about to stool their territories from them, which wasn't true. It was just an excuse to get into our lands and since then the war was up to this day... Well, I guess this is all you need to know - For now, you need to get ready for tonight's banquet.'' He exclaimed, and I nodded in agreement.

As he was about to leave, I remembered something '' You said that the banquet is one of the reasons you're here, what are the other reasons you're here for.'' I asked him then he smirked at me before he said'' Well, I'm also here because I know you missed me, and as the gentleman I am - I decided to grace you with my presence.'' He teased, and I rolled my eyes while he was leaving.
