Plan (8)

Elena woke up an hour later near the river, she was without any clothes. The cold breeze from the lake hit her body making her tremble with cold. The confusion of her current situation hit her harder than the cold she was feeling. Having experienced something for the first time in her life with no explanation as to how or why was frightening her.

The black blood princess was afraid, she has never known this feeling in the past but now it was the only emotion she could feel. Her body was trembling from both the cold and the fear.

"I am a black blood princess, I am indestructible and a goddess," she muttered over and over again to get back her lost confidence but it wasn't working. Her grandmother had taught her about black bloods and in the scriptures she read there was no where that stated a black blood vampire can feel pain. Black blood weren't supposed to have any weakness and that is the shield that has always gave her the confidence to do as she pleased.

Now that was not true anymore she began to rethink all her decisions and life choices. "A werewolf bite can kill a vampire," her grandmother's words kept ringing in her mind.

"If I marry Esteban and he accidentally bites me then?" she dreaded at the thought of dying. Her whole body was in chaos and she didn't know who to turn to for answers. Her grandmother who could have helped had left her. Tears of disbelief rolled down from her eyes but she was too scared to move her hand to wipe them.

All she remembered from a few hours ago was feeding and then the unbearable pain before everything went blank. The thunder and lightning that struck the day and turned it temporarily into night was an image she could not erase from her mind.

"Have I offended a god or something. Is that why this happened?" she asked out loud. She was alone there so no one replied to her question. As she was thinking about the possible explanation for everything that happened, Esteban who had gone out to look for her on Lola's request finally spotted her.

When the day turned dark so suddenly and the lightning was acting up he had gone to the palace to find her. He was mostly curious about her plan because so far he watched how she played with rulers older than her and they didn't even realise they were being played with. He enjoyed the show she put on but couldn't figure out what her end game was.

That was when he got to know that she wasn't in the palace and Lola was the one who told him that she saw the princess running to the forest. He had gone in search of her immediately, his heart raced as he looked for her out of worry that something might happen to her. He heard a strange howl in the forest that gave him a weird feeling but as a true alpha he didn't react to the howl but just felt its power.

He ran around for an hour before he saw her seating in the cold with no clothes. He took out his coat to use and cover her, when he got close he noticed that she was crying and shaking. He covered her with the coat and embraced her.

Elena felt a warm coat cover her and being held and looked up. He saw Esteban staring at her with worry in his eyes, instead of feeling relieved she felt afraid. Afraid that he could harm her at any given moment and she could die. Her body shook even more and she found enough strength in her to push him away. She staggered back and almost fell but he caught her.

"Let me go," she said struggling to push him away.

"Elena it's me Esteban, relax I am here everything will be fine," he said trying to calm her down but she continued to struggle to get out of his embrace.

"I know who you are, I am not blind and I can see that it is you. Let go of me because nothing will be fine with you around," she yelled but he didn't bulge. He held even tighter, the more she tried to get away the tighter held on to her.

"What happened to you? Why are acting like this?" he asked her in a soft voice?

"What happened to me? What happened to me?" she repeated his question over and over again not finding the answer herself.

"Did someone do something to you?" he asked but she didn't reply. He couldn't think of why she was so scared and wanted to get away from. His mind came up with many explanations like maybe someone could have taken advantage of her. But her being a black blood vampires makes the most powerful creature in the whole of Enchanted forest but could it have been. His mind put two on two together and he found the answer.

"Elena what happened to you in the last hour. Can you tell me how you ended up here without any clothes," he asked to make sure that what he was thinking was what happened.

"I don't know," she replied.

"Can you at least tell me what you do know?"

"I came out here to get some fresh air, I felt hungry so I fed and then all over a sudden there was this pain in my body and the sky was acting funny. Then I woke up here," she answered.

"What did you feed on?"

"An animal, why are asking me so many questions," she inquired.

"Because I think I know what happened to you," he said and Elena's eyes lit up.

"You do? Tell me," she demanded.

"Not now first let's get you back to the palace and into proper clothing and then I will tell you," he said and Elena who was eager to get an explanation of what happened used her magic to teleport them back to her room and cleaned herself up.

"Done, now tell me what happened," she said.

"Well I am not sure what really happens but here is a theory. You turn into a wolf for an hour before changing back to being a vampire," he said and she frowned.

"But I don't have werewolf blood running through my blood so how is that possible?" she asked thinking that Esteban had lost his mind.

"That is true but you are a pure black blood princess and as su..." he didn't finish what he was saying because had pinned to the wall with her hand choking him on his neck the next second.

"How did you know that I am a black blood princess," she interrogated as she tightened her hand on his. "Tell me or I will you apart," she threatened and removed her fangs. Her eyes turned purple and her fingers also grew a few inches with the same colour of her eyes. She was not joking and was going to kill him. She had been on edge all day since her talk with the queen and he just pushed her over.

Esteban saw how serious she was and that he was going to die if she so much as scratches him. His eyes turned golden and he used his super strength and pushed her away and ran. Elena fell back but landed on her feet and went after her but she didn't find him.

"How does he manage to get away from me so quickly. Who are you Esteban?" she inquired and folded her fist in anger, "I will not spare you werewolf prince," she swore.

"If you kill me then you will never know the truth of what happened to you. Believe me when I say that today was the beginning of many more such happenings. You had a plan for us to be one and since you want to kill me. I will only tell you after we are married. It is up to you now, you can choose whether you want to learn the truth or not." She heard him whisper using the jade necklace.
