Trust

" You chose to believe whatever you like princess, it's all up to you. It's Elijah, by the way." He vanished right away, and I was left alone and confused.

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

I spent the rest of the day trying to break free from the stupid room I was locked in, but I couldn't. The door was quietly open but I couldn't pass it, same with the windows and the balconies. It was like an invisible sort of power that I can't see but still can feel.

The day went swiftly by me fighting the invisible wall, not attending to stop before I get myself free. " After spending the entire day watching you, I'm not tired of this, I can spend other days doing the same, it's better than sleeping anyway. It's kinda funny if you want my opinion. " Someone said from behind while laughing, I turn to see a one standing Elijah while crossing hands, not trying to hide the amusement showing in his face and through his voice, he got a few steps close to me and threw a sack of blood in between my hands " Drink! " He ordered, and I didn't like the fact that he ordered me, nor the fact he wanted me to drink blood " No!! I'm not drinking this thing; besides, I don't take orders especially from a stranger like you." I clench my teeth while speaking.'' I thought that I'm not a stranger anymore, I'm Elijah by the way'' The hell was he trying to mock me. Nah ... I'm not letting him enjoy this '' And now he thinks he's funny Ha Ha ...'' I mocked him back. He then grabs the blood sack from my hand and opens it. The smell of the blood ran through my nose and I felt the hunger for the blood, I moved toward him using my superhuman speed, and stole the sack from his hand, and started drinking right away as if my life depended on that blood. He then starts laughing and I raise my eyebrow in a questionable way " What ??" I asked, and he answered " I thought ...." I cut him off before he finished " You better start thinking about shutting your mouth close, for your best." It was my first time drinking blood, the salty metallic taste was like a drug to me, and I couldn't stop myself before drinking each and every drop of blood in my hands. I kept on drinking while Elijah stood there watching me.

Once the blood was off, I faced the so-called Elijah " Why am I here? I demand to know the reason I am here for" I asked, and he rightly answered me " You belong in here, it's your home, princess." his answer wasn't quietly satisfying to me nor enough, so I asked again "If it's my home like you're saying, then why am I imprisoned in here?"

" Definitely not your majesty, the shield is made for your protection and safety. Your father - King Alexander is on an important trip, he will be back in the next following three days. Until he comes back, no one but me is allowed to be near further from you, princess. " He explained, and again - I found myself asking "Why no one but you is allowed to be close to me? What's the special about you?"

"The king trusts me more than anyone here, that's all.'' He posed then added, ''I'm not saying that it's because I'm too strong, nor way too handsome. " Without thinking, I found myself bursting into a laugh " You ... Handsome !! The only possible way to mix between these two words is by adding a 'NOT' in between them" I tried to tease him, and he decided to tease me back "Rich coming from you. Aren't you the one who was checking me out a few hours ago?" My face instantly flashed in red, then I tried to deny " Me ...? It didn't happen ... Why would I even .... Ohhhh" and I was interrupted by his non-stop laughter " Just stop .. Okay! " I ordered him, but he did not stop at all, why would he, I'm the one who's making fun of myself. " I believe you, princess. I believe you're not having a crush over me, just the way I believe that the real color of the sky is red like the blood you were just drinking, not blue at all," he said, and I felt a bit awkward. " Don't worry princess, I'll keep this as a secret between us." He winks at me and then adds, "I have to go now, I have a few matters to attend to. Feel free to ask for anything you want." I looked toward him, and then I said, "I only want to get out of here." " Sure, you can leave Princess, but only when your father comes back," he said then turned around. As he was about to leave, I called him, "Wait!!!" He then stopped and looked at me in a questionable way " Where are you going? Are you going to leave me here .. Alone?" I don't know why, but I feel like I can trust him a bit, he looked at me then finished " It's almost night, vams are getting awake from their day sleep, and I have to make sure that everything went smoothly and fine. Don't worry Princess, the shield is protecting you. No one can see, smell, hear, or feel your presence but for me. You are sound and safe until your father's back." He promises, but I wondered after what he said "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.
