Love Agreement With The King

The more Elijah spent time with the other vampires children the more they disparaged him, yet he didn't let the critics make him feel down but instead, he used them as motivation while practicing, and bulking was his outlet. 

It had been a few months since the first time he practiced and he did amazing progress despite he now was around the age of 8.

John was proud of him although he knew the determination was due to the insults of the arrogant kids in the surrounding, he wished he could slap them all but something was telling him Roselyn would scold him if he dared to do so.

Elijah's muscles on his arms were slightly visible and he finally succeeded in speeding. He became faster every day.

Felicity was 8 months now and she had also grown up since then.

Her hidden talent was to eat all the food and spit it out half of it to have taken a too big bite.

Roselyn visited the village once in a while only to visit her mother with the little Felicity.

She couldn't bring Elijah too, since if he did people would wonder how he grow so fast and would understand something was off. She didn't want to create any scandal in the village.

Roselyn trained very little and was not as consistent as she used to since she was busy keeping care of the kids. She missed how it felt, to be able to control nature and how amazing she felt after she succeeded in that.

Since she wasn't training much lately she used her powers anyway, to entertain Felicity. Whenever she saw her mother grow a plant or create blossoms she clapped her minuscule hands and smiled while her wide beautiful eyes narrowed.

"One day maybe you will be able to do the same," Roselyn whispered, kissing the palm of her baby's hand. 

Felicity stretched her finger to caress her mother's face and then returned the smile when she saw Roselyn lean closer and smile widely.

Roselyn lifted Felicity and sat her on her nap, "I know you can understand me." Roselyn whispered.

Roselyn's gaze fell on one glass placed on the table afar from then. She smiled "open your mouth." Roselyn murmured to Felicity. The little girl knew that sentence because that's what Rose always said before leaning the fork closer to her mouth and feeding her. When Felicity opened her mouth Roselyn stretched her hand, few drops of water arose from the water and traveled their way toward Felicity's mouth floating in the air.

When the drops gather upon her mouth Felicity excitedly moved her feet waiting for the drops to fall.

Roselyn closed her fists and the water fell in Felicity's mouth. She giggled and bubbled something inaudible which Roselyn deduced could be an attempt to say "again." 

Roselyn chuckled working her way to disintegrate the water in a few more drops and flew them back in Felicity's mouth.

The little girl was amazed by Roselyn's magic, she probably wasn't able to decipher what Roselyn was doing it but she surely was having fun as she kept moving her hands and feet in joy.

John and Elijah came back and when Elijah saw his mother in action he sat near them and admired her. it was the first time Roselyn used her powers in front of them and Elijah was so proud of his mother. None of the moms of his "friends", the ones who denigrated him had a banshee as a mother and all he needed to do was mention his parents' names to make them shut and apologize to him immediately after.

However, despite they apologized or claimed they would take back the critics, Elijah was still hurt by their words and those words occurred in his mind every time he trained as a sort of push to do better.

"Wow," Elijah commented in awe, staring at her mother growing blossom and bringing back to life all the dry plants around the room.

Roselyn smiled, she allowed her eyes to make the journey through the toom and then set on her little boy, "why don't you show your sister what you had learned?" Roselyn asked.

Elijah smiled and nodded in pride, he was looking forward to showing his progress to his mother. 

He charged and speeded in the opposite side of the room making Roselyn drop her jaw and start complimenting him and his progress.

Elijah was so glad and happy to see both his parents complimenting him and being proud of him, maybe he was improving and one day, earlier or sooner, he will become as strong as the other vampires if not more.

He just had to keep practicing, after all, he was John's son, he had the genetic to become that strong.

The more the two children grow the more the maids helped them, allowing the couple some time alone.

For that evening the maids accepted to keep an eye on the babies and babysit them while Roselyn and John went to eat in the village at some restaurant to have a date after such a long time.

Their visit to the village didn't go unnoticed, on the contrary, it caught the eyes of a few inhabitants that stopped to stare at them.

Roselyn after almost two years got used to that and learned how to ignore the insistent gazes of the villagers.

They walked into a restaurant which John earlier called and demanded they not to let anyone else enter beside them.

So that they could enjoy some privacy and some tranquility.

Roselyn dressed up for the occasion with a long red elegant dress while John wore a white blouse and elegant trousers.

Roselyn sat down and admired the restaurant which was decorated with candles and petals all over the floor.

"This is so beautiful, John," Roselyn said.

John smiled, he took her hand and leaned closer to the candle on their table to light it up.

He tilted his head to the side, his eyes sparkled with love, and the more he looked at her the more he was sure he was the luckiest man in the entire world for having met her.
