Chapter 4 "Unknown emotions "

I cleared my throat "Thank you" he turned to look at me "If you are such a weak girl then you need to be careful here, you should" I walked towards him, for unknown reasons I just felt like there was a string pulling me to him. "You helped me anyway" he stared straight into my eyes, it felt like he was looking into my soul instead. "Behave yourself, you'll be safe" he was about to jump and vanish but I held his hand making him stop, I didn't want him to leave.  Once our skin touched, I felt sparks down through my veins, he gave me a glare. "I said to behave!" he scolded with a glare. "Why didn't you harm me as you promised?" I was curious. "Do you want me to do it now?" I shook my head "No, can we be friends?" I blurted,  I of all people begged this vampire boy to be my friend. I can't trust my mouth anymore, he pulled out his hand from mine. "Why should I?" I rolled my eyes, biting my lower lip "Well...I just want to" he creased at me "I am Daniel and you are....?" I was glad that he finally agreed. "Elina!" I said excitedly, making his lips curved to one side. "Listen Elina we can't be friends sorry, now get back to rest" he vanished right through my eyes. I was pissed but still I was able to say thank you to him, I felt relieved. For some unknown reasons I smiled and head back to my bed, doing exactly whatbhe asked me to, resting.

Shortly afterwards my phone rang and I picked up "Elina! Are you fine dear? I heard you..." I exhaled "I am fine Bella, rest assured" she was very angry I could feel it from her words. "No Eli, you shouldn't let anyone mistreat you just because you are weak or...." I blurted "Or what?" she continued "I'll kill them all with my curse!" I busted with laughter "My Bella is very angry, ooh I'm getting goosebumps" she hissed "How could you laugh?".

"I am really okay Bella, I have a good friend taking care of me" I didn't want her to know that she was a vampire or she'll worry even more, she sighed "Okay if you say so, take care okay?And get back to rest right now" I nodded "Mmm" before I hung up. What's with everybody asking me to rest? Ria came back some hours later "Hey Eli, how are you doing?" I smiled, I was happy that I had people that actually cared about me even if they were few, to me...It was a big  blessing "I am fine, thanks"

Days passed by and I was fully recovered, I was good to go and walk around though it left a scar, my hair helped to hide it. I woke up early before Ria, surprising myself and her. "Girl you are up early today, any occasion?" I chuckled "No, I am just tired of sleeping" we both laughed on our way to the classroom. I was a star, I couldn't believe it. Everyone was pointing their fingers at me, Ria held my hand "Ignore those rats"  she dragged me to a class. I was relieved that she was there with me or else I would've been unconscious for a heart attack. Kim turned to us "How do you feel now, Elina?" I gave her a thumbs up "Totally fine".

Jessica and Serena entered, glaring at me as if I killed their parents or something. Such weird creatures! bullies to be precisely. They walked straight to their seats but their eyes glued to me. "Hey Danny!" they said in unison, he nodded at them with his lazy look. She ordered some girl "Hey go and throw this in the bin for me" she gave her a piece of folded paper she listened to her as if she was so scared of her and did what she was told "Such a behaving bitch unlike some other bitch who should also learn the same thing if they wanted to live longer!" she glared at me, I lowered my eyes down. If there was something that I really hate then it's getting bullied I'd never accept such treatment. The two sat down to their seats in front of Daniel who was busy looking outside the window, he was in his own world not caring about anyone else.

A man with sports personality entered and hit the podium to have everyone turned around. "Dear wolves and vampires I am your sport coach, Douglas" we bowed at him "I want  you to change to your sport outfits and meet me at the arena ASAP"  he left and we all went to change, we wore long pants and shirts with no sleeves walking to the arena. The coach stood in front of us "Gather around, we'll be having a team of two to play rugby. Boys from werewolves and vampires and the winner will keep the honor of their races" the teams moved forward and the game began, some girls stood as cheerleaders and some of us sat to enjoy the show. It was too much fun but I couldn't see Daniel anywhere he didn't like gatherings. I suppose.

The month passed by very quickly and my birthday was in one day and I was supposed to go back home before that night. I must go!. A bell rang. We all gathered at the assembly ground. The Professor stood at the stage "Hello everyone. I've exciting and good news for all of you. Tomorrow we are expecting a lunar eclipse so we will be holding a ball to celebrate the night." the crowd  cheered they clapped very hard, almost bursting my ears. Ria hugged me "Yes! the fun season is about to start!" but to me it was a big shock. I have to go back no matter what. He continued "One more thing, you are free to bring your dates at the ballroom, you are allowed to shop today so enjoy and disperse!" 

The crowd was even happier, some whistled, it was so noisy before dispersing. I was lost for a while, when suddenly Richard knelt down to the floor "Would you be my date Elina?" Huh! I wasn't expecting this surprise, just not before everyone. I didn't plan to go too but I felt bad to deny him in front of the eyes that were watching us. I replied "Okay" he was happy that he jumped with laughter on his way, Ria chuckled "What a move that jerk. I am happy for you Eli, at least you got your date" I smiled at her but my mind was somewhere else. Daniel was there this whole time with his gang. They were standing a bit far from everyone chatting. Jessica walked to the stage "Daniel would you be my date?" he stared at her quite, the people that were still around clapped and shouted out, she pleaded "Please, Danny" he nodded and she ran down to hug him making people shout even more for them.

Ria shook her head "She could just ask him down there, she didn't have to announce to everyone that the handsome Daniel would be his date, she is such a nuisance" For some strange reason I was hurt and walked away, she followed me. I banged the door to our dorm and sat on my bed, she looked at me curiously "What is wrong with you?" even I wasn't sure what was wrong with me. These stupid feelings and emotions that I am feeling, I hate that they move me to do unexpected things. "Yes I am good, my head hurts, I need to rest" I took off my shoes and climbed up on my bed to sleep. It was too early to sleep but I needed to get my shit together, and sleep was the only way.

I was drawn to a dream the moment I closed my eyes, again. I laid down on a bed, a boy was torturing me with his mouth, he showered me with hard kisses and my body reacted to his every move, it was magical. I couldn't get enough of those soft cold lips, when I opened my eyes it was him again. His kisses were very sexual. He kissed me like a beast that was hungry for years. He played tag with my tongue. It was a very good sensation. Shortly the dark came again and he was gone. I got up with my eyes wide open. Then I went straight to Ria's bed but she wasn't there. It was still early in the evening, my breath was getting heavier and my forehead was all wet from the sweat. I turned my eyes to the window like somebody called me and he was there looking at me with a blank face, he got up heading towards me my eyes were following his steps slowly, he sat down "You must had a very bad dream, you look frightened" he wiped my forehead with his hand and placed my hairs that were covering my face to my ear. I couldn't stop thinking about the dream, I was confused and now that he is in front of me it is even worse.

"Why are you in my dreams? The dreams, do they have anything to do with you coming here?" I blurted "Just who are you?" getting frustrated by each second. He turned his face away from mine "I am just a mare vampire, I thought you were smart enough to know that!" I shook my head, following him "It can't be!" he turned to me and handed out his hand "Come with me, I want to show you something" I stayed still for a minute before I held his hand and he pulled me to his embrace and just like that, we vanished

We landed softly on the ground, my grip on him loosened, he walked and picked violet flowers "You love these" he handed it to me, I smiled to have him pull me close again "Hold me tight now" my grip on him tightened he stepped back a bit as if he was gathering strength and jumped high on a tall tree, I gasped, when I opened my eyes I was awed by the view "Wow! it's beautiful" he jumped from one tree to another, he was speeding up as he moved forward I had to shut my eyes out of fear. We landed down before a big mansion, he held my wrist and walked in, I was awed by the decorations, they were ancient but simply breathtaking. At the sitting room I was welcomed by a a beautiful blonde woman with golden eyes she came and gave me a peck on my cheeks. "Hello gorgeous!" I blushed "Hello" Daniel went to sit, the woman held my back and we sat facing each other. "What is your name?" I replied "Elina" she smiled "Elina, I am Ana, Daniel's elder sister" I wasn't much surprised the two looked alike but what amazed me was she look nothing like a big sister she looked young.

She held my hand and sniffed it making me speechless "Mmm, you are a werewolf" I nodded. She chuckled caressing my hairs, I was kind of uncomfortable with all the pampering. "Daniel never brought a girl home before, you must be special to him" I looked at him our eyes met and I blushed again. A man with muscular body and model look climbed down the stairs but he wasn't a blonde "Come Phillips, meat Elina and Elina meet my husband, she is Daniel's girl" Wait, What!? I felt shy to even lift uo my head. Daniel noticed me, he cleared his throat "She is just a friend, Ana" Phillips came and kissed my cheeks "Welcome Elina, you are a cute werewolf I've ever came across with" Why were they making me so shy ok purpose? "Thank you" Daniel got up from his seat and climbed upstairs leaving me with his sister and brother-in-law.

"Elina, he talks about you to me. You know what? He can't hide anything from me, I am more like a mother figure to him" I nodded "He does?" I never thoughts that he would mention me to anyone and the fact that he does to her sister I couldn't believe it. "We are the weakest one among our races in the hierarchy of authority, but we are too good at heart and fists" I creased curiously, I didn't understand why she was telling me all of this. She continued "Daniel and I went through hell once our parents died in our place, they saved us from the rogue vampires. I've always wanted him to get someone that will bring back a smile to his face because since that day he never sincerely do it. I think he chose you to be his friend, because he doesn't have one" I was surprised. He does have friend? His rich gang!.

"How about Jessica, Serena and Williams?" I asked to have her she shook her head "They are not his friends, they just hang out together at school" I nodded, so I was the first friend he brought home I was glad about it. He rejected my offer of us to be friends but just now he announced that I was his friend, I can never understand him. "So please Elina as Daniel's friend, I am begging you to relieve his pain by hanging out with him, keep him busy with you" she lifted her head looking for him "He will be mad at me if he hears that I am telling you this" she chuckled "I understand Ana" she hugged me lightly.
