Chapter 12 "Sacrifice is the strongest proof of love" *********************************************

Jeremy laid her on her bed at their late Bella's house, he was about to turn and leave her alone to relax but she pulled his hand and shook her head looking at her pitifully "Don't leave me Jeremy, I am scared" she sobbed, he sat on bed pulling her to his embrace "Shh! those elders are going crazy as they are growing older, don't mind them" he uttered, she cried for a while before talking again "I just don't understand how many people that are dear to me that I am going to loose for being a guardian. I can't break up with him but I also can't endanger my people's life, I guess it is a curse for being a leader" Jeremy felt a lamp on his throat, he knew his sister was going through a tough time right now and the best thing he could do is to listen to her and give her his full support, she is all alone in this raised fight. "Elina, we live long to understand what really matters  but the only thing of value is love, it rules everything." she lifted her head facing him "But love is hard for my case and I guess it is my fate" he shook his head in denial "No Elina no, there is no fate but what we make, don't listen to anyone else but your heart and whatever decisions you are going to make I am going to support you, I swear" he patted her cheeks, tears fell down her cheeks as Jeremy wiped them.

She was going through a tough time of her life, she didn't know what to do very confused, but she was a bit relieved to have Jeremy beside him no matter what. She buried her face on his chest sobbing "You are my only light Jeremy, I am proud to call you brother" he tightened his grip on her "You deserve to happy like everyone else and I am going to see it through, get some rest. I am going to talk the shit out of those stupid elders. They need someone to talk sense out of them" he was very angry but he knew that the prophecy was real and it can't be avoided but he was ready to go against it for her sister. He was going to look for a way out, there must be a way out. He went away after she fell asleep, she woke up after a couple of hours by a sound of her phone buzzing,  she reached her hand and picked up the phone "Hello baby!" she felt a hard rock stuck on her throat it was Daniel "Hello, Daniel" her voice was horse from crying "I missed you already, when are you coming back?" a tear fell of her cheeks, she wiped it "No, not today" he noticed some changes in her voice, he stayed silence for a while until Elina was surprised "Daniel, are you there?" she was startled to see him standing before her with a frown on his face and his fists clenched "Why did you cry?" she stood up abruptly to see him here. Why did he come here? "Nothing, I just remembered Bella since I am here" she didn't want him to know about it, he walked to her and made them both sit on her bed, a tear fell down unknowingly. Daniel kissed it to wipe it away "I don't want to see your tears, they tear my heart into pieces" he pulled her in his arms still curious "You stated the reason why you cried, why am I sensing more? You are everything but definitely not a good liar, Elina" I pulled backback and faced him with big fake smile, I gave him a very hard kiss "I love you" she uttered in her kisses. Daniel stayed still recovering his anger by the treatment Elina was giving her, she was strange. She pulled back but he wasn't satisfied yet and pulled her in for more, she moaned between the kiss "I can't get enough of you, Elina" she blushed and the two went for a round of making love.

She hide well about what happened until Daniel left and busted to tears "I can't let you go!" she shook her head clenching the bed sheet so hard that she almost ripped it, she couldn't sleep the whole night sobbing about the prophecy, she woke up the next day looking so pale and tired. Jeremy wasn't shocked to see her in that state given what she is going through, he went to the woods and picked up some herbals, he boiled them with water and gave it to her to drink, after couple of hours she fell into a deep slumber. Jeremy wanted her to rest so he mixed with some herbal that could make her sleep, he caressed her heir recalling what happened when he went to see the elders about the matter, he entered and saw them sitting with smirks "It's better you came Jeremy, help us to get some senses into, Elina" Kitana uttered furiously, he sat down on the mattress "Is there really no other way out than having them breaking up?" the elders turned to him seriously and surprised "Oh I see! So as a brother you've already blessed them?" Kiko was glaring at him, he shook her head "No! but I can't see her in pain, you people only cares about yourself. I can't about her if you don't!" he horsed. Elder Adam stood up and hit the table with his fists "There is no way out! And if she doesn't accept it we will have to kill him, or she will die for going against it" his voice thundered in the house. Jeremy closed his eyes, he didn't want to believe that her sister could die for this. Just why did God have to be so cruel on her when she went through a lot since she was born, now that she found a reason to be happy, she is forced not to by her own people.

After couple of hours Elina woke up energetic, she sat up and the first thing that she remembered was the scene from yesterday, she felt so miserable as tear fell down her cheek, she suddenly felt a light before her. She lifted her head and her eyes were about to fall off to see Bella standing before her, she froze on her bed watching her as a flood of tears falling from her eyes "Bella!" she smiled at her "My child, I know you're going through a lot right now but you have to be strong and win this battle, there is always a way out to every problem, now like I said....listen to your heart" Elina was about to run to hug her but she vanished into thin air, she slapped her cheeks "I am imagining things now, I'll be crazy soon" she walked to the mirror and saw her miserable face, she look like a dead corpse, she clenched her fists "I'll never give up on him! I'll do everything to keep both of us together" she wasn't aware of what to do but she was very determined by her own spirit.

When Jeremy came he was relieved to see her lightened up a bit, she looked ready "Take me back now" he nodded and walked out with her to their jeep,  she turned back to look at her village for the last time before she entered the car and set off, she was so quiet all the way and Jeremy didn't want to invade her privacy and just let her be. He dropped her at Daniel's mansion before going to the village, Ana welcomed her and they chatted for a while before Daniel stepping downstairs. He was excited to see her, he teleported and picked her up and vanished with her leaving Ana speechless "Oh gosh! he is so in love" she shook he head smiling.

They landed at her bedroom hugging each other tightly "I'm so happy that you are back, Elina. So happy" she decided not to tell him about the matter because she didn't want him break down like she did and so she remained silence, faking a smile "I am so happy to see you too, Daniel" he pulled back and kissed her lips "Shall we go now?" she nodded "Mmm, let's go" she held onto him tight and they vanished to the classroom making everyone giggle, he pulled her for a quick peck before letting her go, pulling a chair for her to sit and heading to his, everyone envied their relationship even though they were against it at first. Ria whispered to her ears "Get a room you two!" they both laughed.

Months passed but Elina and Daniel's love had no chance for a break up, it only became stronger and the elders along with the villagers were still against it. Elina couldn't keep lying to him and told him everything about the prophecy and the two decided to keep on sticking together no matter what happens. 

It was raining in the dark, two vampires sat one black Rolls Royce by the road that was near to Elina's village, shortly a wolf came out of the woods and entered to sit at the passenger's seat with a frown "I thought I told you already not to come here, you are putting my life on the line!" he yelled at the two man that were sitting behind him, one of them moved in a swift second and held his neck with his claws "I can tear you to pieces right now and plant another behaving mole to your village, behave" his voice was calm, he tried to pull out his hand but he was way too stronger than him and so pleaded with a low tone "I've something to tell you sir!" he creased at him for a moment and then loosened his grip on his neck "It's better be worth it" he pulled away his hand, he coughed "It's worthy of listening trust me" the other man fixed his pose to listen about what he has to say "It's the prophecy Elina and Daniel they...." he told them everything and one of the man started to laugh like a villain excitedly "Those unlucky brats, we'll kill them just like their parents" he continued to laugh, the man that held the neck of the mole recently glare at him "You may go!" he was relieved to be given another chance to live, he was a spy for the rogue vampires for years informing them about everything concerning Elina.

The man stopped laughing after hearing his phone buzzing "Hello my dear daughter" he smiled "I am not your daughter, what kind of father are the two of you? Only busy with business and doesn't even care to meet with their only heirs!" she said angrily "Calm down Jessica my dear, we are just too busy" she frown "If you two won't come to meet us tomorrow then we won't talk to you for eternity. And don't think that were joking" she hang up on him, he frowned "This brat!" the other man uttered in serious tone "We have to go and meet with them or we might loose our noisy daughters" he nodded "Mmm, Okay then" their driver started the engine and rode off.
