What is this feeling?

Zin T.P.O.V.

As Zin's eyes open he stretches and yawns, making his eyes shut. Zin put his hands down, instantly his eyes widen as he looks down to Elliane. Elliane was still sleeping with her hair slightly a mess and her right hand was on her stomach. With Zin's hand right next to Elliane's left hand he slightly blushes as he pulls his hand away. Zin's eyes slightly close as he lets out a breath he turns putting his feet off the bed. Zin stood walking to his dresser and opening a drawer, he glances to Elliane through the mirror. Zin shakes his head as he pushes his hair back he turns walking to the door by his dresser, taking some clothes in his hands. Elliane turns over reaching her arm out as her eyes shot open she pushes herself up. As Elliane stretches she looks to herself in the mirror, instantly she gasps as she fixes her hair. As Zin steps in Elliane's eyes widen and her arms instantly drop. Elliane clears her throat and says "good morning Zin." Zin glances to Elliane as he grabs a cloth off the dresser he walks to the bed and replies "good morning Elf." Elliane's eyes widen and she responds "Ah I see we are back to that werewolf." Zin smirks and drops the cloth on the bed as he says "hurry up and change before I leave you." Elliane asks "change?" Zin responds "that's a dress for you." Zin walks to the door, pulling it open as he steps out. As the door shuts behind Zin he lets out a breath. Zin leans against the door, pushing his hair back for it to only fall back forward.

Zin let's out a breath as the door besides him opens slightly. Zin turns and instantly his eyes widen as Elliane steps out in a deep blue dress with slight half long sleeves ending just a bit after her shoulders, with the end of the dress slightly curved and so many ruffles. Zin brings a hand to his mouth as he thought "I thought a dress with sleeves would help but Elliane, she is just beautiful in anything." Elliane asks "Zin? Are you okay?" Zin's eyes slightly close as he responds "of course." Elliane hops out the door fully on her right foot as the door shuts behind her. Zin puts his arm down as he slightly smiles. Zin asks "what are you doing?" Elliane responds "you said I couldn't step on it." Zin sighs as he thinks "this is harder than I thought." Elliane smiles and asks "where are we going?" Zin blinks and Elliane pushes a lock of hair behind her ear. Instantly Zin picks up Elliane in both arms as he turns walking. Elliane gasps and comments "are you late somewhere?" Zin replies "hush so I can explain." Elliane nods and Zin continues explaining "due to me constantly saving different races I have a group which spends there time learning all the languages. However I don't know most I do know of the one you had in you're bag." Elliane's eyes widen as she responds "that's right I completely forgot you said that you knew it last that." Zin replies "sure you did."

Zin pushes at a door and Elliane gasps as he looks to her. Zin steps fully into a huge library as Elliane looks around she says "dear lord, has Nile seen this because I don't think he would leave." Zin smiles and his eyes widen as he shakes his head he clears his throat. With massive dark wood tables and chairs, the bookshelves were full to the max even stacks of books on the tables. Zin walks to the first table, setting Elliane down in a chair. As Elliane looks up to Zin his eyes widen as he instantly turns thinking "she is so tiny in these chairs." Elliane asks "Zin is something the matter?" Zin responds "nothing now." Zin scans the bookshelves before walking to one. Elliane asks "does this language have a name?" Zin grabs a red book and opens it as he turns. Zin's eyes widen as he shuts the book he says "I forgot you're book." Elliane asks "do we need it?" Zin asks "don't you want to know what it says?" Elliane's eyes widen and Zin says "I'm on it, just stay here you're welcome to any books but I don't want you stepping out of here." Elliane nods as she smiles. Zin walks to the door and opens it, stepping out, as the door shuts behind him he let out a breath.

Zin pushes his hair back before walking down the hall. Soon Zin steps out his bedroom with now Elliane's book as well. Zin opens the book as he slightly smiles he flips through the pages. When Al says "Zin?" Zin turns slightly to see Al walking towards him. Zin asks "what is it father?" Al asks "how is it with Elliane? Is she healing?" Zin responds "I was actually going to check today to see if it's working." Al says "that's good." Zin shuts the book as he asks "did you need anything else?" Al smiles and responds "I'm glad to see you better yourself Zin." Zin's eyes widen as he asks "excuse me?" Al walks pass Zin as he responds "I just think you seem happier." Zin adds "the safe zone will last another thousand years of course that makes me happy." Al replies "I didn't think it was because of that, however I'm sure that's one of the reasons." Zin's eyes widen as Al walks away down the hall Zin asks "what's the other reason?" Al chuckles and he responds "I'm sure you know Zin." Zin's eyes slightly close as he pushes his hair back. He let's out a breath before turning walking down the hall.

As Zin stops before a door, reaching for the handle, he lets out a breath. Zin thinks "I can do this." When the door opens as suddenly Laicy steps out holding a stack of books. Laicy says "oh hello Zin." Zin sighs as he replies "yes hello Laicy, let me guess you're mad I let her into the library?" Laicy shrugs her shoulders and responds "well I mean I don't think she is lying or acting so I don't care." Zin's eyebrow raised as he replies "is that so?" Laicy says "yeah yeah well I'm busy doing you're job." Zin responds "good luck." Laicy sighs as she walks off saying "I'll need it."

Zin pushes the door and his eyes instantly widen to see Elliane was sitting on a ladder as she puts the book back on the shelf. Elliane pushes the ladder by pushing on the bookshelf, as the ladder moves pass bookshelves she runs her fingers across the ends of the books. Zin thinks "I don't got this." Elliane pulls a book out as she turns her eyes widen as she instantly puts the book back on the shelf. Elliane stumbles off the ladder as she says "I apologize I just love this." Zin was just staring and he lets the door go as he walks to Elliane. Elliane stands straight as she grabs the ladder tightly. Zin stops before Elliane, looking down to Elliane's leg as he asks "you didn't walk on it did you?" Elliane responds "no." Zin suddenly plants his right hand just over Elliane's shoulder, with the two books in his left hand by his side. Elliane's eyes widen as she looks up she softly says "Zin?" Zin leans forward as his eyes widen he thinks "what am I doing? My wolf side just wants to embrace her but why? Why does she make me feel like this? What do I want?"

Elliane F.P.O.V. *slightly earlier*

My eyes widen as Zin says "I'm on it, just stay here you're welcome to any books but I don't want you stepping out of here." I nod as I smile, Zin walks to the door, pulling it open and stepping out. As the door shuts I turn and I look to the books behind me. I couldn't help but smile as I slowly stand. Looking down to my right leg I sigh as I hop to the bookshelf. I reach out grabbing the bookshelf as I lean against it I run my fingers across the ends of the book. I think "it's beautiful in here." When the door opens and my eyes widen as my heart races I say "I hopped over here Zin alright." Laicy responds "not Zin." I spin around as Laicy walks to a table she adds "just me, calm down," she grabs a book off the table. I think "I thought it was Zin, so why did my heart start racing?" Laicy walks to a bookshelf as she sighs. Suddenly Laicy kicks a ladder, pushing it, making it roll to me. As the ladder stops just before me I smile and I say "thanks." Laicy nods and I grab onto the ladder as she pulls a book off the shelf. I ask "are they all separated?" Laicy turns as she looks around she responds "yes they are, where is Zin?" My eyes widen and I reply "I apologize I forgot I shouldn't ask you questions." I step onto the ladder and Laicy sighs as she says "look it's just my mind is racing, I have to much to do and for some reason Al insists on leaving Zin with you." I reply "I thought Zin was on health duty?" Laicy scoffs as she turns grabbing another book, she responds "yet that's what the tree is for." My eyes widen as I softly say "tree?" Laicy responds "yeah you healed it, it should be working now." Laicy grabs another book as she walks back to the table. I think "so Zin was forced to be with me because of Al I knew that, however that doesn't explain our dance." As my face burns I quickly pull a book off the shelf, instantly opening it. Laicy walks to the door with a stack of books. I sit on the ladder as I read the a line from the book the door opens and I let out a sigh. I flip through the pages as I think "seems like a good book, however I don't have time like that to read it." I shut the book looking to the deep blue hard cover. I softly push the book back in-between two other books before pushing against the bookshelf. As the ladder moves passing bookshelves I run my fingers across the book ends. I stop on a brown hard cover book, pulling it out as I turn my eyes widen to see Zin at the door and I instantly put the book back on the shelf. I stumble off the ladder as I say "I apologize I just love this." Zin was just staring and he lets the door go as he walks to me. I stand straight as I grab onto the ladder tightly. Zin stops before me, looking down to my legs as he asks "you didn't walk on it did you?" I respond "no." Zin suddenly plants his right hand just over my left shoulder. My eyes widen as I look up I softly say "Zin?" Zin leans forward as his eyes widen I think "what is he doing?"

Suddenly Zin grabs a blue book off the bookshelf as he turns. I let out a breath as I think "too close, but why does he make me feel like this?" Zin turns as he puts the three books in his right hand he puts his left foot out. Zin asks "step on it, could you?" I slowly step on Zin's boot as he suddenly pulls my waist closer. My eyes widen as I look up Zin's face was just inches from mine. Zin turns, walking to the table. Zin pauses before the chair as I feel his grib soften on my waist I softly place my hand on Zin chest. Zin's eyes widen as I step back I grab onto the chair sitting down. Zin clears his throat as he sets the book on the table he says "I got the language book." As I look to the books I see mine on the bottom and the one on top of it was red, the next one was a deep blue. I reach for the top deep blue book suddenly Zin grabs the book before me as he says "I think it's that one we might not need that one after all."

Zin places the blue book down as he slides it away he places his right hand on the table, with his left hand he lets the deep blue book go before opening the red book. I ask "so what is this language?" Zin pushes the red book aside and opens my book as he says "the name is hard to say especially if you can't speak it but it's the nymph's language." My eyes widen as I say "nymph?" Zin responds "let's start on this first one on." As Zin points to the name written on the inside of the cover I smile brightly, leaning forward. Zin smiles and explains "this is more complex but the book should help you translate so let's focus on this first part." Zin's eyes close slightly as he softly says "A." My eyes widen and I ask "why do you know this language?" Zin smirks as he responds "I love to read so me and Nile have a lot in common." Zin clears his throat and he adds "this next letter is a "t" then a "l"." I nod and Zin lightly places his hand on my book as he says "the first part is Atlas." As I think "Atlas?" Zin's fingers slide down, he stares at the book like it would give him something. I softly say "if this is to hard we can stop." Zin looks to me as he replies "Leon." I ask "Leon?" Zin nods as he responds "yes that's the second part, so together it's Atlas Leon." My eyes widen as I softly say "Atlas Leon." Zin says "yeah it's been awhile so,-" I interrupt Zin by saying "A.L. it's his initials not just a cover name, oh my goodness." I smile as I stand instantly jumping onto Zin saying "thank you so much." Zin gasps as he steps back slightly, I could feel his arms apart and my eyes widen as I think "oh no, what am I doing?" I step back yet suddenly Zin grabs my waist pulling me back into his chest. I gasp as Zin says "of course Elliane." I think "what is this? This feeling? Why does he do this to me?" I could feel my face blushing, my heart racing and it felt like a wild kani bird was lose in my stomach." Zin softly let's me go as he turns he says "I must look for something." Zin walks to the bookshelf behind me as I sit. I reach out grabbing my book as I look to the name I think "Atlas Leon, so he owns this book." I smile more as I reach out for the language book yet my eyes land on the blue book Zin pushed aside. I quickly glance to Zin to see him leaning against the bookshelf as he looks in a book. I smile and reach for the blue book. Once I have the book I open it to see the title "the giant rock man." My eyes widen as I think "this is a children's book, so Zin lied?" I shut the book setting it down as I think "then what exactly was that earlier?" I grab the language book and glance to Zin who still had his nose stuck in a book. I smile as I feel my face blush I quickly look back down to the books.

When Zin asks "Elliane would you mind reading books in my favorite spot?" I shut the books as I respond "of course not." Zin walks over as he asks "are you sure it's,-" I interrupt Zin by saying "I know high up." Zin's eyes widen and he asks "that doesn't bother you?" I stand as I respond "no, I mean it was peaceful so." Zin face fell blank yet he slightly blushes as he quickly turns slightly. My eyes widen as I think "did I see that right?" I slowly take a step when Zin instantly turns picking me up in both arms. I gasp as Zin puts a green book on my lap. Zin says "hold that for me now." I smile, grabbing the book as I reply "of course." Zin walks to the door, pulling the door open, I softly ask "are you okay?" Zin clears his throat before responding "of course, why wouldn't I be?" I quickly respond "ah no reason just making sure." As my heart races I think "why am I feeling like this?" Zin asks "are you alright?" I nod as I shout "of course!" My eyes widen and I gasp quickly saying "I'm so sorry I just,-" Zin interuped me by saying "it's alright Elliane you don't always have to say sorry."

I say "oh right it's just,-" I pause as my mind floods with horrid thoughts suddenly Zin runs as he jumps. I gasp, shutting my eyes as I push myself against Zin's chest. Once I feel like Zin stop moving I slowly open my eyes to find Zin looking to me already. Zin asks "you alright?" I smile and respond "of course." Zin sits on the branch as he asks "well you were saying?" I shake my head as I slowly pull myself onto the branch. Zin slightly smirks making me blush as I say "what?" Zin says "nothing, anyways you should sleep a bit." I nod as I reply "of course." Zin says "I also need to check you're leg while you're asleep so don't freak." I clenched the books, instantly my mind is filled with everyone's face once they see me as a monster. I softly ask "Zin doesn't it bother you when you touch me?" Zin's eyes widen, suddenly he pushes me forward on his chest as our faces were inches apart he responds "well we've slept in the same bed already so I don't know how else to explain it Elliane." My eyes widen as my face burns I bury my face into Zin's chest. As I feel the books rip out my hands I let out a breath, thinking "I hope I never see that from you. Yet why do I feel like this?" I shut my eyes, I can hear Zin's heart racing inside his chest making me blush as I drift off. Soon I hear laughter as I smile I feel a hand tightening on my knee. My eyes widen to find Zin holding my knee as he was looking into my book. Zin looks so handsome making me blush more when suddenly Laicy yells "Zin!" Zin answers with "yes?" Laicy responds "get down here there a elf man looking for you, goes by Nile." I gasp as I say "Nile!" Zin's eyes widen as he asks "you're awake?" I smile and look down, pushing my hair back. Zin shuts the book as he asks "ready?" I nod as Zin moves his his hand off my knee I could feel his warmth softly fade. I couldn't help but blush as instantly I think "no!-wait what am I thinking?" Zin places the books on my lap before picking me up. I grab the books as I shut my eyes. I could feel Zin stand before jumping. I push myself more into Zin, he even squeezes me tighter.

As Zin stops moving he says "alright." I slowly open my eyes to see Zin walking out the door into the hall. I look around to hear Laicy saying "I left the elf man by the doors, I have to go this way." Zin responds "it's alright."

Zin kept walking and I look to my book as I smile I say "thank you I always thought I wouldn't get to know a single word from it." Zin responds "of course I uh, skimmed through it actually." I ask "what does it say?" Zin looks away as he stops before the doors he responds "I could read it to you if you like." As Zin slightly blushes my eyes widen, instantly I throw my arms around Zin saying "yes Zin, I would love that." Zin slightly steps back as he softly let's my legs go he holds my waist hugging me back. I smile as I feel my face burning. Zin softly let's me go and I pull my arms down yet he tightly holds my waist as he says "just step on, you won't hurt me." I slowly step on Zin's boot as he pushes the left door to show the full marketplace and Nile right before us.

I smile as I say "Nile!" Nile turns as he smiles he responds with "Elliane, how are you feeling?" I reply "great actually." As Nile looks down to my hands he asks "is that you're father's book?" I gasp as I respond "yes Zin translated it for me." Nile smiles brightly as he responds "that's amazing Elliane." Nile steps forward and I reach out to Nile. Zin softly let's me go as I hold onto Niles arm I open my book, saying "this is his name which is Atlas Leon, also this language is nymph's." Nile responds "that's amazing Elliane I'm so happy for you."

I shut the book, when suddenly someone yells "Nile!" Nile turns slightly and I look to see the two men that were trapped in my vine along with Nuylje. My eyes widen as I look down I hear the guard say "we are going to see Nile's daughter." The man besides him responds with "she is amazing she saved us." The guard softly asks "saved us?" Nuylje replies "she sounds lovely." Nile says "glad you could make it, Elliane this is the first man trapped." Nile points to a man, he has dark brown hair and blue eyes, Nile continues with "this is the guard you have met him before." I ask "I have?" The guard nods as he answers "yes in the marketplace, I embarrassed myself." I was confused and Nile explains "when you drowned me." My eyes widen and I smile as I say "right."

As my eyes meet with Nuylje I find he was already giving me a horrid look, making me look down. Suddenly Zin dashes between all of us as he grabs Nuylje's collar, saying "don't give her that look." Nuylje gasps as he says "Zin, I apologize." Zin snaps "not to me." Zin let's go and instantly Nuylje looks to my feet as he says "I apologize." I sigh and say "its,-" when a loud scream breaks out making me stop.

Instantly Zin runs straight pass Nuylje and a hard blow of wind pushes us back, I grip onto Nile as Zin shouts "now Nuylje!" Nuylje gasps and runs after Zin.

Nile says "I'm sure they got this under control." I loosen my grip as I look around, thinking "I hope he does."

My eyes widen as I think "why,- why am I worried about him?"

Nile clears his throat and the man says "right I don't believe we met but I'm Kaseem." The guard asks "we are just gonna ingore everything that guy just did?" Nile replies "ah calm down Sineim." I respond "well nice to meet you." Kaseem replies "well I wanted to thank you Elliane." My eyes widen as I respond "what?" Sineim snaps "what?" Kaseem asks "what do you mean?" Sineim asks "what do you mean?" Kassem responds "Elliane saved us." Sineim adds "she did put us there." Nile slightly snaps "enough Sineim, I don't know how many times I explained a vampire made her vine a virus." Sineim snaps back "yeah right why would a vampire do that?" Kaseem says "we didn't think they even existed so anything is possible, plus I remember hearing him tell Nile that." Sineim sighs and replies "I don't care just as much as I don't believe." Nile says "I apologize Elliane he is stubborn." I nod and Kaseem adds "well I appreciate you Elliane." I smile and respond "you don't have to I did it for my village." Kaseem clears his throat before glancing to Nile, he explains "Nile told us what happened Elliane." My eyes widen as my heart hurts I look down when Zin says "Nile?" I quickly look up to see Zin just behind Sineim. Nile responds "yes?" Zin replies "I need to speak with you." Nile pulls me with him as Zin turns he adds "alone." My eyes widen and Nile looks to me as he says "it's alright I'll be back." Nile slowly lets me go as I grab onto the door. As Nile walks to Zin Sineim asks "that guy scares you to right?" Kaseem responds "I believe that's the man that saved us." Sineim replies "I know but he is terrifying." Kassem laughs and I look to Nile to see him smiling. I smile as I turn I pull the door open, peeking in to see down the hall. I think "the doors here are confusing." When I see the woman from the food stand go down a darken hall. My eyes widen as I think "where is she going?" When suddenly a hand grabs my waist, I turn to see Zin as he asks "what are you looking for?" I smile and respond "you." Zin's eyes widen and I laugh but instantly stop as I add "sorry just kidding." Zin turns and I think "what was I thinking?!? What am I doing?"

When Nile asks "so what else does the book say?" I turn looking to Nile as he steps towards me I respond "I'm not to sure Zin is going to translate the rest." Nile replies "sounds like fun, however I need to take them back so I'll see you around Elliane." I smile as I say "of course." Nile turns, leaving, as Kaseem and Sineim follow him. I smile more and ask "so what now?"

Zin turns pulling me inside yet he instantly stops. I ask "is something the matter?" Zin glares to me and I look down as I say "I apologize if my joke was weird." Zin states "I need to ask you something." My eyes widen and I nod.

Zin demands "look at me."

I could feel my face burning as I slowly look up to Zin. Zin's eyes widen and he says "I wanted,-" Zin pauses as his face slightly blushes he looks down the hall, he finally asks "would you like to join me for dinner?" My eyes widen as I softly say "for dinner?" Zin replies "yes."

I think "ah I said that out loud, I swear I lose it around him."

I respond "yes I would like that Zin." Zin smiles as he pulls me into his chest. My heart was racing as Zin grabs my waist he holds me tight, then he turns walking down the hall. I think "dear lord he could probably hear my heart racing." I let out a breath and Zin clears his throat. I smile and look up to Zin to see him looking straight foward. I look back down as I think "I completely forgot I don't eat there food." Zin pushes the door open and before me was the dining room. Zin walks pass the chairs but stops just before the main chair. I slowly reach out for the chair when Zin grabs the books. Zin pulls the chair more out as I sit. I pull my chair in as Zin sits beside me he instantly looks foward. I couldn't help but blush as I think of what to say, suddenly the doors open and someone walks into the room. This person is holding a tray with two plates, they had long blonde hair and green eyes with animal-like ears and even a tail coming out her pants. The person walks to us, setting a dish before both of us. I say "thank you." I remove the sliver cover to see normal food as they set a glass next to my dish.

I glup as I think "maybe it won't be so bad."

I grab the fork and bring it to the plate when Zin says "excuse me, I need you to take this I should have mention she won't be eating this." My eyes widen and they take the dish and cover as Zin asks "were you really going to eat it?" I quickly look to Zin to see him smiling at me. I couldn't help but blush, when someone walks into the room. This person held a tray with one plate. They had short black hair and green eyes with animal-like ears and even a tail coming out his pants. This person quickly walks to me, setting a dish before me. I softly say "thank you." Both servers leave and I look to the dish before me. I let out a breath and glance to Zin to see him eating. I slowly pull the cover off to see different color balls, from red to even blue. My eyes widen and look to Zin as I ask "how did?" Zin responds "I asked Nile." I smile as I reply "you remembered." Zin's eyes widen and I add "considering you didn't trust me at the time so, thank you." Zin slightly blushes as he snaps "just eat elf." I smile more and respond "thanks werewolf." I look to the food as I grab a green ball I bite into it, revealing the soft center. My eyes widen as I think "oh my goodness." Instantly I continue eating, Zin asks "well?" I respond "it's amazing, I didn't ever think I'd miss food so much." Zin replies "is that so? I'm glad you are eating." I nod as I say "me to." Zin asks "anything else you miss?" I eat more of my food and then reply "yeah actually I miss plants and grass, I know that's weird but,-" Zin interuped me with "it's not." I smile as I look to Zin I say "thanks." Zin smiles and looks down before saying "so you were going to eat food just for me." My eyes widen as my face instantly blushes I say "what no!" Zin replies "sure." I smile more as for once I feel happy yet it fades, I quickly look down and Zin says "don't get too embarrassed elf." My eyes widen as I gasp I reply "oh yeah what about you uh,-" I trail off and Zin smirks as he asks "what?" I smirk and respond "you remembered I don't eat normal food." Zin's eyes slightly close and he replies "I don't know what you're talking about elf." I gasp and say "you so do." Zin smiles when suddenly he laughs.

My eyes widen and I instantly laugh thinking "I never want this to end."

As laughter pours out the room soon it turns to chatter then quiet.

As Zin tightly held me he walks into his bedroom. Zin asks "already asleep?" I respond "no." Zin replies "you're eyes are shut." I giggle softly as I bury my face into Zin's chest. I could feel Zin stop walking and I open my eyes to see us before the dresser as Zin sets the books down. I smile and ask "are you going to read to me?" Zin smiles and responds "tomorrow, now we sleep." Zin walks to the bed, turning as he lays back onto the bed turning on his side. I look up to Zin to see his eyes shut as he hugs me. I couldn't help but smile as I shut my eyes. I could feel Zin hug me more tightly before I fully drift off.

*As I awake suddenly I hear screaming.-*
