Chapter 6 "I am reborn "

After a little bit of rest I finally could feel my limbs, Bella escorted me to the bathroom and this time she washed me up like she did when I was a baby, and I didn't do anything to protest. I entered the bathtub, she rubbed my body with a sponge "I am so happy Elina" she started, I smiled at her "I feel different now like there is something extra in my body, something powerful" she chuckled rubbing my nape "You must me ... it possibly because of your powers,  you'll develop different abilities with time" I nodded "I guess so" she cupped my face "But....who was that handsome boy back there? he placed his life on line to bring you here." I sighed, no please let's not go to that direction. "Bella, he is just a friend" she bursted into a laughter "Just a friend? I don't think so. Just not with the way he looked at you, I saw everything." You saw nothing, old woman! I shook my head "Stop it!" We're not going to have this conversation now, she narrowed her eyes "You are at an age to get a boyfriend you see, nothing to be surprised about." I splashed water on her face "I said to stop it!" she chuckled "By the way he is a vampire right?" she asked. I looked at her, maybe with this she would stop talking. She has always been telling me to stay away from them. "Yes" I replied, she paused and frowned "Oh, I see." I didn't know why she was acting that way. Once she finished bathing me she helped me change into a silk night dress. I laid on my bed and she covered me with a bed sheet "Good night, Eli" she kissed my forehead making eyes shut for a second "Good night, Bella" she switched off the lights before leaving. 

I faced the ceilings. My thoughts ran back to what happened today. It was all crazy, turning to the other side facing the window. Daniel was there. I gasped "When did you come?" He looked at me "It doesn't matter, how are you?" I sat up and my body felt heavy, like I came from a big battle "I am fine but it's not safe for you here, you should go!" He walked heading towards me "I am sorry about today at....the rooftop I didn't mean to do it" he lowered his head down not wanting to face me, I shook my head "No it's ok, it happens" he sighed "Since you are alright I'll get going now, we'll talk when you are back" he turned to leave before I answer him, I exhaled and went to sleep.  I was drawn to a dream again, this time I couldn't know who the guy was, his was face covered by bloods, his eyes were black. He was asking a girl to ran away but she shook her head, denying to leave,  he moved swiftly and sliced her throat with his claws, she fell down on the floor with a shrill, bleeding. I stepped forward to see the girl. I gasped, it was me! But who killed me and why? He knelt before me caressing my hair which were soaked with blood "I told you to run, now look at what I had to do!" He raised his hand to finish me, I screamed "No!" I shot my eyes open, my heart was beating faster, I walked to the mirror to see my neck. "What was that dream?" I sat on a chair facing the bright sun until my body relaxed. I didn't understand why I was having such dreams and I can't tell anyone about it too. My mouth became so heavy whenever I decided to.

I went to wash up, my body was as light as a feather. I felt so good, stepping downstairs Bella wasn't at home. I walked by the window and smiled "Should I test this new me?" I jumped out of the window and turned into a wolf before landing down running to the woods. I was so fast that I couldn't even see the trees beside me. I halted and roared "Awooo!" I was extremely happy and surprised by my abilities. I never thought that being a wolf was this much fun. I could hear conversations and see things that were miles away from me. What was going on? I ran to the valley and jumped down the stream, when I was underwater I shifted to my human form, enjoying the swimming, It was too much fun. I was laughing alone like a mad girl, pulled my hair back and turned to the other side. Shit! Daniel! "W....when did you get here? it's not good behavior, you should knock sometimes!" I blurted and deepened my body underneath. For heaven sake, I was naked!. I was so shocked that I even began to speak nonsense. He lifted his hand in the air motioning to knock, his lips curved to a side "Knock knock! anybody's home?" And he was making fun of me plus the situation, this guy! I frowned "When did you get here?" I asked, trying to cover my top with my hair. God! Can he see me?.

"Since you jumped from up there" he pointed his finger up. I blushed, so he already saw me. Damn! I was shy to death, avoiding to look at him. "What are you doing here?" I blurted, furious and I wasn't even aware at who, him or myself for being careless. He cocked his head to one side "To check on my friend and she seems fine" he smiled and I smiled back, he do cares about me. I still haven't forgotten about how he risked his life to take me home yet. "Thank you" I wanted to get out of the water but he was there, I couldn't. He chuckled "What's the point of hiding? This is not my first time seeing you naked" he said nonchalantly as if it wasn't a big deal seeing my nudity, damn this  jerk! "Fuck you! you are such a psycho" I threw the pebbles at him but he was fast to dodge "Wow! So Eli you can protest now" I was pissed.

"Turn around I want to step out of the water" he gave me a look of surprise. Does he think I would step out with him watching just because he already seen me before? He must be insane! "I said to turn!" he raised up his hand in the air, surrendering. "Ok! ok! fine princess" he turned and I stepped out quickly, the water trickling down my body. "Don't turn! give me your shirt ASAP" he was about to turn, shameless! "Come on, Elina!" I hit his back stopping him from turning. He took his shirt  off and handed it to me, I didn't waste a time and rashly grabbed it and wore it faster before walking past him. "Wow! it's oversize but it looks good on you" I shook my head at the burning look of his on my body. I never knew this serious boy could be this annoying but I was thankful it covered me to my thighs,  he followed me with a bare chaste "You know Elina, I'll have to get used to walking like this, it is becoming a habit now" I turned and I was awed by his chaste, it was so manly, I gulped and turned ahead. "You should stop coming here it's dangerous for you Daniel, listen to your friend for once" he appeared before me "I am not scared because you are here" That was all the more reason to for him not to come, I don't want to stuck in a situation where I'll have to pick between my people and my friend. I shook my head he was impossible to argue with "Still don't come, you can just call me instead" we walked ahead "When are you coming back?" he paused but I continued to walk  "Tomorrow, why? Have you missed me already?" he came to stand before me again like a gush of wind "Ria does" I cursed inward 'tsk tsk you should just say it if you missed me, why mention Ria'   "You can go now, I am heading back home" I walked past him again, he held my wrist "I can just teleport you there you know" he looked down at his shirt, it didn't really cover much since my body was wet, the shirt has stuck on my body showing everything. My cheeks heated and I felt like burying myself to avoid this shame. I shook my head "I'll just walk there, I said it's not safe for you, you are so stubborn" I pulled away my hand from his grip, he can't be here, it's dangerous for him. I'll find my way home but there was no telling if he would leave alive from crystal village if they found him here right now. He pouts his lips "Okay if you say so, see you tomorrow" he vanished. He looked angry but yeah I won't be greedy and risk his life as well.

I just never understand him, it seems like he wants it so much to be near me just like me, this connection that is rising very faster between us is still unknown. I head back home and entered by the my bedrooms window, my eyes were about to pop out to find Bella sitting on my bed as if she was expecting me to use the window. "Bella! you scared me!" she stared at me and then behind me as if she was looking for someone. "Why are you using a window? And what is that you are wearing? It doesn't belong to a girl or you" I gave her my back escaping to face her, this old man and her calculations! "I just felt like using it, can't I have a male outfit" she looked at me quietly, I couldn't stand it "Okay! I went to the woods to test my powers and met with Daniel" I told her everything, I just can't lie to her, she motioned for me to sit beside her on the bed. "He likes you I think but that love is impossible it never works out well, I don't wasnt to discourage you but it just ends up with pain, always." she shook her head in worry, I held her hand "Rest assured Bella, were just friends." she held my cheek with her palm, she became thoughtful for a while before speaking again. "Listen Elina, always listen to your heart, don't you care about people because people would always talk until they die. But make sure you are safe as well" I knew there was more to our relationship, I just didn't know what to name it. Oh maybe I wasn't ready to acknowledge it, most importantly I didn't want Bella to worry so I buried it deep in my heart. "Bella do you wanna hear something amazing?" she nodded "Yes!" I stood up spinning around, I don't wanna talk this emotional topic any longer. "Now I can run fast, I can switch to any form that I want, I can see and hear things that are miles away!" I told her about my abilities she was very excited "Oh my dear you are a true alpha now. There is more to your power trust me" she stood up, I hugged her "I do, I'm just so happy to finally feel like this, I feel at peace Bella" she rubbed my back, understanding exactly what I meant. I came from a bad background with my own people but now I would set everything right, everything.

Ria woke up only to find herself on Jeff's bed "No!" she screamed making him wake up in a shock "What?" she wished the floor could open so she could hide and never come out "You! with me? On your bed! Naked?" she looked down the bedsheet and was greeted by her naked body, their to be specific. "We had sex! me and you." his hairs has come to fall on his face, he placed it back using a finger. "Is there any problem? It was good" he teased her, she threw a pillow at him "You jerk! Fuck!" she cursed beating him with a pillow, he pulled her to his embrace to make her relax, they were both naked. Her heartbeats accelerated to feel their skin touching. "I am sorry but you are at fault too, you seduced me" she frowned "Let me go!" she got up not caring that she was naked, she grabbed her dress and walked to the washroom. Jeff smiled wickedly as he watched her struggle around "It was fun, Ria." for the first time he called her by her name, he always calls her a chatterbox like everyone else. She came out fully dressed, not turning to look at him. She picked up her shoes and went away, he couldn't stop her. Even though she started it, he knew she needed sometime to accept the fact that she had sex with him, she rushed to the dorm she felt so shy about it although it was normal to sex to their generation, she didn't expect it to be with him, her friend! She stayed in all day just to avoid meeting with him.

Jeremy brought me back the next day, I went straight to the dorm, I was surprised to see her on bed sulking instead of being in a class "Ria!" I called her with excitement, I've really missed her but she seemed lost and didn't even notice my presence "Ria!" I called her again loudly she was startled "Elina!" she ran to hug me with her blurry eyes "I am glad you are back" I was taken by her attitude "Are you okay?" she shook her head in denial, I grabbed her and made her sit with me "Tell me, what is it?" she hid her face with her palm shying away "I had sex with Jeff" she uttered the words faster under her palms, I couldn't hear the sentence clearly, the only words that I heard were  'sex-Jeff' I couldn't hold a laughter. I've never laughed so hard before "Tell me in details" she shook her head with a frown settled on her face "I hate you! How could you laugh at me in such situation, you are supposed to be my bestfriend!" I motioned to seal my mouth with my finger "I'm sorry, i won't laugh I swear" she cleared her throat and told me everything about it, I forced myself not to laugh. "So what is the big deal? it's normal to have sex nowadays and the fact that you seduced him, you shouldn't feel embarrassed before him you'll make yourself look stupid" she closed her eyes "Fuck that wine!" I smiled stroking her back "Come on, cheer up and let it go if you don't plan to keep it in your head" she got up heading to the washroom "I'll go to shower" I shook my head, Ria is such crazy girl to ever met with. Sometimes she is crazy and doesn't care about people and sometimes she is such a shy girl, but I was glad she came into my life. She came out dressed "Shall we?" I held her arm "Where to?" she creased her eyes in confusion, I cupped her cheeks "Girl! to the classroom, where do you think?" she shook her head stepping back "I am not going out yet" I grabbed her hand heading outside"Yes we are going out now!"

I was my turn to pull her around and help to her get her shit together as her friend, she tried to resist me but I was stronger than her now there was no way she could take off her hand from mine. I was still to tell her abouy my powers but that could wait. On our way, she walked hiding behind my back until we reached to our classroom, Daniel smiled at me the moment we entered, I couldn't respond and just lowered my head down heading to our seats. One of the nosy students saw the scene "Oh my god!" pulling everyone's attention to him "Daniel smiled! just now I saw it!" Now everyone's eyes went to him, shocked by the news "What? you must be hypnotized!" the other student blurted, Daniel turned to the window not caring about them. I held in my laughter, that was the problem of being the most hot student in the academy, he can't even breathe normally like everybody else.
