Chapter 9 "I am yours"

I knelt down crying "Why did you leave me mother?" she was a mother me, not to be able to see her and feel her embrace was killing me, I felt a shawl covering me, it was Daniel. He pulled me up in his arms "I am sorry Elina" I cried even louder "I am all alone now! All alone !" he tightened his grip on me "Says who sweetheart? I am here and I'll always be, it's a promise" he was hurt to see me in pain, I could feel it. I cried on his arms for about couple of hours until I calmed down "Take me back" he vanished and teleported to our dorm I was surprised to see that Bella wasn't there and the floor was cleaned, he pulled out a dress in my cupboard and help me to wear it, Ria came to hug me "I am so sorry Eli! She called yesterday to inform you about her arrival but I forgot to tell you and this happened" she busted into tears, I held her shoulder "It's not your fault that she is dead so stop blaming yourself, but where is she?" Ria pulled back from the hug "Professor took her, she is prepared to be sent to your village for burial" tears flowed down my cheeks, Daniel held my hand not caring who would see "I'll kill whoever did this, it's an oath!" I swore staring at his face and my eyes changed to bright blue.

After a short period Jeremy came and we took her back to our village so she could get buried in our ancestors cemetery, whenever one of us dies we bury them there, it is a special piece of land in crystal village. Ria couldn't accompany me because Bella was killed by a vampires, if any of the vampires were to go with us then they would get killed. We buried her and everyone dispersed heading to their homes.Once I entered our home, memories of her opening arms and I would ran to hug her resurfaced or I would find her at the kitchen, everywhere that I stepped had a memory with her, tears float on my face, it was so painful to accept it. I walked to her room and laid down on her bed, I remembered how I found her on the floor, her face was full of scars made of claws as well as her neck it was ripped deep that you could see the bones. I folded my hand into a fists, my nails elongated making my palm wet from the blood, "They'll pay for it, I'll rip them into pieces" I hit my fists on the bed and it lighted up with fire, I was surprised I tried my other hand and it also lightened. I had fire on my hands and I never knew, Bella was right there is more to my power! If only she was here to be proud of me, I grieved in pain and slept unknowingly. 

I woke up next day with a headache, I used to sleep for a long time but now Bella is not here to wake me up and pamper me with her love, I stayed in her room all day mourning in her memories. Two days passed, I decided to go back to the academy, maybe it'll be less painful to be around my friends. Jeremy took me back, on our way he held my shoulder with a concerned face, I lifted my eyes facing him "Listen Elina, I know it's hard for you now as it is to me too, but you have to accept it, she is gone" I nodded and hugged him "You can call me anytime when you need anything, your brother will take care of you now" I sobbed in his embrace "Thank you Jeremy for being here" he wiped his eyes "Shhh! stop crying" he wiped his own tears and then wiped mine. We reached at the academy, he walked me till to the dorm and bid a farewell with him. My eyes went straight to where Bella was laying that day, I went and laid down at the same spot and closed my eyes for a while, wind blowed, my eyes went to the window to seeDaniel, he was there, he seems to notice my presence whenever I go, he came once he knew that I was back.

We looked at each other for a while, he moved coming towards me, I sat up following his steps, he knelt down to me "I don't like to see you in pain, it hurts me deeply, it suffocate me" he said lifting up my chin and then kissed me passionately before hugging me. He carried me up and laid me on the bed and covered me with bed sheets, he caressed my hairs I was quite all this time with no words to say, my eyes expressed everything to him "Go to sleep" he said in a whisper and kissed my forehead, I was relieved and relaxed then slowly drifting to asleep. Bella was in my dreams, the visions of her laying down with bloods was rewinding in my head, I shook my head in my sleep, my forehead was covered by seat I shouted "Bella, No!" Daniel who was walking towards the window to leave was shocked and turned to look at me, I pulled away the bed sheets and ran to his embrace, my grip on him was so tight, he was surprised by my actions.

"Hey, hey...Are you Okay?" he pulled me back but I resisted him "I am scared! Take me with you please!"  I didn't know why but with him beside me I always felt safe and secured, I felt free from everything. He nodded "Mmm" he vanished with me and we appeared to his home at the sitting room, Ana was in the kitchen, she stopped what she was doing once she saw us, she ran to hug me. "I am so sorry Elina, I heard about it" she sat down on a couch with me, tears flowed down my cheeks, Daniel left heading upstairs giving us privacy. Ana wiped my tears "She was a mother to me" she hugged me tight "Shhh!" when iwas back to normal, she kissed my forehead "Elina you can stay here as long as you want, this is your home as well from now on" I was touched by her words "Thank you, Ana" she made me stand with her, heading upstairs "Don't mention it, come I'll take you to your room" I was surprised "My room?" I asked but she didn't reply and just led me there. I have a room at Daniel's house? It sounded so crazy, if any of the students knew about it I'll surely be on the newspaper and medias, that's too on the front page.

We climbed to the second floor where Daniel's room was, she opened the next one to it "Come on in, this is a reserved room, it will be yours from now on" she said with a big smile, it was simple and neat, I couldn't stop staring at the decorations, it really felt like home here. "Thank you" she hugged me lightly "I'll be downstairs, call me if you need anything" she left, I inspected the whole room, I really loved it. It was simply amazing, It had a veranda too which was my dream if ever I own a house and the view was breathtaking. We had dinner at evening and everyone went to their rooms, I laid on my bed in sorrows, suddenly Daniel appeared on my bed, I wasn't shocked, he laid down with me. "I can't sleep, I hope you don't mind me being here" I shook my head "Actually I am thankful that you took me here" I don't even know how to thank him enough, I can't believe how our relationship turned from being total strangers, then to being friends and now I can't even name it but I could feel it.

He chuckled, I was surprised to hear that, he only smiles "Welcome home, Elina" his lips curved into a smile, he pulled me closer to his chaste and didn't say a word, it's like we have our own body language that only the two if us could understand, we didn't need words. I crossed my arms around his waist and buried my face on his chisel chest, I could feel his heart beats speeding up just like mine. Does it mean we are both reacting from the sensation of our touch? I was happy to know that. I slept soundly in his arms until in the morning, I woke up ahead of him and rested my face on my elbow studying him, his face was so innocent when he is asleep, his long lashes that were reaching the peaks of his cheeks,  those curved jawline and thin pale pink lips, I placed the hairs that were were scattered on his forehead back and pinned them by his ear, he was a definition of beauty. My hands automatically traveled to his chaste pacing back and forth with my fingers, his lips was curved into a smile, I rashly hid my face on his chaste, his opened his sleepy eyes "Are you seducing me?" I shook my head, not lifting up my head feeling embarrassed by my actions, I just can't stop myself whenever I am with him. My body reacts independently, he lifted up my head instead "What were you doing then?" I sat up and turned my back on him "Nothing" I was about to leave the bed, I felt an arm around my waist pulling me to him, I was shocked to find myself on top of him, he moved his hand to my chaste, pinning me even further against me, I could feel his cold breathe and the hardened surface below my back "I am sure it was something" I gritted my teeth from the sensation of voice that was horsing in my ears and nape, my eyes closed, he turned me over facing him, I stared right through his golden eyes, he moved lips and started to devour mine. I wasn't expecting it but I couldn't hold it back either, I gave him full access to my lips, he stopped so we can catch our breathing and both of us ended up laughing at each other at what we just did. We had no formal relationship but seems like our body has, there is something that is pulling us together all the time, we just couldn't figure out a name yet.

We had our breakfast before heading to the academy, we entered and parked by the parking lot where many students were passing by, thankfully his car was tinted so nobody could see that I was in with him, but the biggest challenge hat I had at the moment was to step out of the car without anyone seeing me, Daniel was looking at me with a mocking smile. I'm sure he was enjoying it becase he told me not to care about them. I was busy looking back and front waiting for great timing to slide out faster which didn't seem to be happening. I exhaled "I surrender! teleport me to the stairs now" he smiled teasingly "I was waiting for it, your highness" he grabbed me from my seat and made me sit on her lap, I crossed my arms around his neck before he vanished and appeared by the stairs with me in his arms, we stared at each other for a while and was brought back to senses by a sound of a bottle of water falling down.

We turned our heads in unison and met with two students from our class, their mouth hanging open to see me carried by Daniel, I gulped and pulled away from his arms faster standing up as if I was caught by my boyfriend cheating. Daniel lowered his head down but he didn't look fazed at all, I couldn't stand there anymore, I ran faster to the classroom and laid my head down in my desk for embarrassment. I was sure of what was about to happen, Ria moved closer to me "Hey what's up?" I shook my head "Wait for it" she didn't understand what I was talking about but I was sure a storm is about to occur any moment,  shortly those two students walked in with their hands covering their mouth in disbelief, they stood by the podium to make an announcement. "Guys! Guys! gather around! Big news!" all students turned to them "Guess who we saw on the stairs cuddling?" I shut my eyes and covered my ears with a book waiting for a bomb to explode, the students were too excited and impatient "Who!?" they said in unison "We saw Daniel carrying Elina in his arms by the stairs!" I felt like a thunder striked in my head, a big sigh escaped my lips, why did I have to be so unlucky today? They couldn't deny the news given previous scenes that took place and just turned to face me, I didn't lift up my head, Ria covered her mouth excited "Wow Elina! you two are impossible" she laughed, I shook my head in denial "It's not like that, I swear" I told her but she seemed to have some other plans, she stood up glaring at the students "So what if you saw them? Is it a sin? Learn to focus on your books all of you! You too Britz, you've scored a total zero from your last taste, focus on that!" she said to the student that broke the news, she was embarrassed lowering her head down, they were all quite by the shock to see Ria standing up yo defend me.

Suddenly the devil entered the class and everyone moved back to their seats whispering "They must be dating" God! These people! "And now they are making it official" I was so angry at my ears, I couldn't rest from their hypocrites. Ria pulled me out of the class and pinned me by the wall "Confess! Where were you last night? And what are these good news? Mhh?" I stood there hands up, my eyes widely open.Daniel was giving me a headache. Just why did he have to be such a handsome boy? I sighed and told her everything, she was awed to hear that I was staying at Daniel's house for a while but she couldn't stop me from doing it, she knew I needed some time to accept the death of Bella. We went to have lunch and walked to the courtyard for a break, shortly Jessica and Serena appeared before us, I held Ria's arm and we walked past them. Jessica pulled me by my hair and throw me on the ground, Ria shouted "Elina!" the two chuckled "Daniel doesn't deserve a weakling like you, he deserves a powerful partner beside him" Jessica blurted making everyone gather around to watch the scene, noisy insect! I was so angered that my eyes darkened with blue, I moved faster and grabbed Jessica by her neck and bang her to the tree, everyone was shocked by my speed and strength but what made them even more surprised was my hairs that turned from black to white, revealing to everyone that I was an Alpha,  I didn't care anymore and focused on the neck that was now bleeding from my claws,  I glared right through her eyes and my teeth elongated  I hissed. It was a time that I set the rules! "Don't you ever dare to touch my body again or I'll rip yours! Do you understand?" she was shocked, her eyes were about to fall off, I threw her to the ground before running away.

Ria followed me amused and surprised by my move towards the rich girls, everyone couldn't believe that I was an  Alpha female, a powerful one at that. Serena ran towards Jessica and held her shoulder "I think we messed with a wrong person" Jessica glared at her in anger for getting embarrassed before everyone "I'll make her pay for this, I don't care who she is" she vanished and Serena followed her, I ran to the washroom looking at my hairs that was now turning back to black slowly, Ria bang the door open and clapped with laughter "Go Alpha! I've never been so happy before!" she stood leaning by the wall watching me, I lowered my eyes down feeling guilty "I am sorry, I didn't tell you sooner about it" she smiled "Don't be, I am sure you had your reasons and for your information this is not my first time seeing you like that" she chuckled.
