Elijah's feelings.

It was finally day, meaning I had to get myself into work. Since I am a princess, I normally shall not get engaged in any sort of outfield jobs, but since it's a war, even I have to participate with my people.

I'm actually leading the team that will secure the gates of our land. The gates are normally secured by a spell. I was told that only humans can pass through the gates, but not any sort of human.

Only the ones who are meant to be vampires can pass through the spell. As they passed to our land, my father made sure to turn them by himself - this was exactly how Elijah became a vampire.

By the end of the day I went back to the palace, but not to my room. I went right away to Elijah's room.

I knocked once, twice ... But no one answered me. Normally I should've left then come back in another time, but again I'm being the annoying me.

I brook the knob and then invite myself in, and 'my oh my' - his room was not the same as I expected at all.

It was all black, and dark, there was not even one extra color beside the black. For a while I was alone, the next while I was pushed into the wall by a half-naked Elijah. He wasn't charmant, neither good-looking as he usually was.

On the contrary, he was horribly terrifying. His eyes were all shining red, while his fangs and caning were all ready to tear something or someone in my case apart. The upper part of his body was full of blood.

"Get out! Right now… "He ordered me. If he thinks even for one moment that I will come back only because he ordered me, then he's a fool.

I am here for a reason, and I am not leaving without knowing what I need to know.

"I'm here to talk, and I am not leaving before I get what I want." I said with all sorts of firmness in my voice, he then sat me free.

"Sit there and wait form." He said a bit calmer than before, then he went out of my sight for about five minutes.

He was changed to a pair of clean clothes, the warm smile on his face was backed again, and he was nothing compared to the monster was before.

"Next time when you want to break into someone's personal room, think about knocking… Okay princess?" I look with wide-open eyes at him, then I huff and puff back at him.

"Rich coming from you! At least I knocked before breaking into the room… You're always breaking into mine without my permission. Yet, I never seemed to complain."

He looked at me then he asked, "You've got this one right little princess ... Now tell me, what are you here for?"

I breathed in and out before I finally questioned him, "I need to know whose Liam's older brother?" He then took his time while looking at me and answered my question with another question, "would you believe me if I told you that I don't know?"

"No! I wouldn't believe you "I shouted at him, he can't be serious, is he taking me for a child.

Meanwhile, an idea jumped up to my brain. He said that he likes me, though I don't want to be the Selena in his and Lorena's story. But I guess that I am going to use those feelings up to my needs right now.

Don't hate … I'm not a bad person. But it's the only thing I can do to save my mate's life. Though I am not going to forgive him for what he did, but I can't let him die.

"Elijah!" I called his name." You told me that you care about me … Prove it! Help me t…" I was cut off by the sound of the glass shattering, then an angry Elijah started yelling "Don't you dare play with my feelings Elizabeth. I want you to be mine – If you want to for sure … But my loyalty towards my people is stronger than any selfish feeling I may have."

His words echoed through my ears, finding their way to my heart while bearing guilt with it. All I can do for now is to apologize, though my apology won't change a thing.

"I am sorry, I didn't intend to…. to….. I mean - I'm not the type of girl that…. But… Arghhhhh" I closed my eyes then stopped messing with words for a while, then started again ?? I am really sorry, it wasn't in my attentions to play with your feelings – But this needs to stop … here, and right now. I mean, I can't be the Selena of your story … You and Lorena deserve better than this."

A weird look finds its way to his face before he said "Selena … Lorena … I don't get what's the need to mention these two? And what story are you talking about … All what's between me and Lorena can't be more than an old friendship." He explained.

"How?? I mean … you told me by yourself that you never thought you would care about someone but her … If she was not Lorena then who would she be? I don't want you both to be apart because of me"

A deadly silence ran as Elijah poured a drink to him then he said «No! Lorena has nothing to do with the woman I was talking about ... don't worry you can't tear her apart since she's not part of this world anymore."

A wave of sadness drew its way to my heart while I was listening to Elijah while talking about his lover with pain and sorrow, Elijah then asked a question that I didn't expect to hear.

«Do you want to know how she died ... and what your beloved mate had to do with her death ... Do you?" He asked while his voice held nothing but anger and hatred.
