the next day he looked worse than the last but we only had a day left at sea till we would reach the port, and I was going to be there to help him. i was get him there and back faster when he woke up I was at the desk again watching him.
"feeling alright you look t-terrible" I and he both laughed 'oh I like his laugh... stop that Evelynda stop' I thought to myself
"yes I'm fine that happened a lot". he started to get up but I was right there and pushed him down.
" rest Eli you'll need it for tomorrow" I insisted in a stern voice but he simply said,
"a captain never takes a sick day". he got up getting ready as I put my cloak on note to self to get a new outfit while at port' then I followed him out. as the day went on and I watched in the shadows he looked fine the more he moved around. when night finally came around and we went to the room we went straight to looking at blueprints of the church
' great this place is in another country I've never left Spain this'll be new' I thought as I picked him up he was surprised and annoyed by that as I sat him in bed he looked up
"goodnight Eli"
"but mommy I don't want to sleep"he said in a mocking tone and it made me laugh
"no Eli go to bed" I said sitting be him he watched me till he fell asleep

we were running through the forest or I was Eli was on my back. as we made our way to the church luckily the back was sounded by trees I set him down there looking at the building he looked a little stunned by my speed.
"if we can find a underground tunnel then we could get in easy" we looked round a bit.
" I see a door over there" he pointed to a door down a ways so I went to check it out when a guard wasn't there and indeed it was, so I went to her him picking him up and running back going down the dark hallway. I knew he wouldn't be able to see, and it would be chilly so I hurried till I got to the end looking up. we saw light in the shape of a square looking to be the outline of a tile. I set him down I listened but didn't hear anything.
"I'm going to lift you up you think you can lift that tile enough to get yourself through?" he nodded so that's what I did he lifted it and went through after I was sure he was ok I jumped going up after him landing on my feet. the room looked like a great reception hall
"whoa it's amazing" I looked are all the fine art work in fascination as he scowled at me 'how tide's I thought to myself walking to the door
"we have to go here" he walked over showing me a map 'great! just great it's across the building' it took up the entire middle of the building but the door Was on the other side
"i'll have to carry you..." he grimaces at the idea but didn't protest he really hates being on my back so to make it worse I checked for people and when I saw none I picked him up cradling him like a baby he looked stunned and annoyed 'why does she have to do this to me it's humiliating'
"oh Eli shush they'll hear yo-" I realized he hadn't said that but THOUGHT it we looked at each other with awe stricken faces I shaped out of it running full force to the door setting him down he had to pick the lock but we got in shutting the door i was to watch it and so I did he ran over looking at a artifact
'it's said when you meet your true mate you have a connection that you'll feel like you belong there with that person and that you can even connect on a mental level' I was thinking through reports of this trying to figure out why just happened when he interrupted my thoughts
" ok I know where we need to go now let's get back" I nodded waiting by the door
"where is it?" he looked nervous to say but finally said
" well we're going to... to the Spanish castle's I froze instantly I was going home I know id been migrating that way for centuries but I was only going to see if they were alright wasn't going to go to town i hid my emotions well and with a nod I picked him up going back to the other room we had emerged from he was looking at me
'I must be going soft he can tell I'm upset' I slowed jest enough to get the door open jumping down and ran it took a little longer but we got outside and to the woods I still ran I ran to the port setting him down
" I need to hunt... and change i'll be right back get abode if I'm not here in half an hour leave without me" he looked hurt but walked aboard I ran off and found a house filled with human men 'perfect' I walked in and one by one I lured them to a bedroom killing each for their blood once I was full I left finding a nice clothing store and went through the roofs door getting some of the pretty dresses I had never had more than one at a time but I figured I should keep some with Eli since I was with them for some time I changed and brought the dressed to the boat they were bringing the Anders up jest as I appeared in his room and his face melted my cold unbeating heat. he looked upset and worried I set the dresses down going over to the window where he stood looking out and set a hand on his shoulder he turned crushing into me hugging me I stayed still not knowing what to do. I had been thinking of home my home I still had my crown I had hidden it close to the castle in my grove it had been buried deep deep in the ground in a box id had from the castle and cloth from that dress I had wore
***flashbacks***
it was late and my children were asleep but everyone was out looking for me I went to there room and watched them kissing there heads I was about to cry but knowing I was now a demon I could no longer stay for I would endanger them I left them both letters giving my love and how Id always look after them from above thou I would never go to heaven I was cursed to stay on earth forever I left and went to i and Antonio's room he was gone but I did the same for him telling him I'm Sorry that I had gone but I will love him forever I still thought as him as my mate even thou he was human and I was not I took a box, dressed in a dress easy to move in but durable for running and I left saying goodbye to my favorite horse from childhood I went to the grove me and my husband often went to jest out of town and buried it it knowing full well of what would happen if I was to keep it
*** end flashbacks***
"we'll be there in a week's time" he said pulling me out of it i had learned I could see my human life crystal clear and I could compel people to do as I wished when I wanted I had many talents but they were the only things I used since I was an old one i'd inherited a few tricks from the ancient ones the top dogs if you will I nodded at him as I felt the boat move this was the beginning the time i'd go back and bring back all the pain and loss of that place but I had to help Eli I had promised him that
we were in his room looking at the maps he had showed me the rout we would take and now I'm going to his bed hesitated then I laid down as he looked at me with surprise "what?" I asked looking at him
"well that's... that's my bed" he stuttered and I smiled sitting up
" what you nervous i'll do something to it?" he watched me then looked down at the desk to figure out where the clue was as the sky got darker
"oh my Eli it's really gotten late BED TIME!" I said walking to him holding his hand bringing him to the bed smiling he looked into my eyes the whole time smiling
'god his green eyes are gorgeous' he layed down and fell asleep when I went to the window
***
the next week went the same as before we talked sailed looked at maps and he slept I could now see land in the distance but in the dark the crew probably couldn't see it no one but Eli knew I was on the ship they only knew once a week they would stop it had taken us more then the week to get there its been almost double that now when they began to get ready I knew they knew we were by land so I went to him sitting on the bed touching his arm
"Eli we are here wake up" I said it almost baby like and he didn't like that he mumbled about it getting up and dressed I turned when her started to take he pants off surprised and he snickered thinking it funny when he was finished we went out to check on the crew I was in the shadows admiring his hard toned body I could see his 6 pack through his shirt and I was loving every second of it I just wanted to... no what was I thinking I can't be thinking of that it's not right by the time we docked it was getting light out about 530 maybe me and him went onto the dock it looked as though I had came on the other way because the men on board started snickering about him having a secret girlfriend in town I went through town with him showing him my favorite places the whole time I felt as I could cry seeing it all when we passed the graveyard it was worse i'd kept theses feelings hidden but I kept a strong face and kept going when we got to the palace it was around noon and everyone was eating
"mm they smell divine" I mumbled mby a little loud because I felt him cringe away from me 'drats' I scolded unroll then he had been right by me almost touching and now he was a foot away I had him go get something to eat them we went to the gardens of the castle to walk around luckily I didn't die in the sun or id be tucked at the moment id still feel the hurt in my chest it was all how I remembered it to be we ended up in the stables
"oh I used to love them me and my friends id smuggle in always loved to play here" I said to him walking ahead one of the children's horses had my name I smiled
'the king a queen must of named their children after me' Eli was then behind me
"whoa isn't that your name Lyn?" I smiled he'd not called me that but a few times before it was sweet
"yes I believe they named their daughter after me" I was smiling still I couldn't stop I felt pride at the thought he stood there like he wanted to do something I turned looking into his deep green eyes for 5 minutes I then broke the silence
"its getting late we need to go inside"
"how do we get in?" he said quietly barely able to muster that much of a voice I smiled moving to the hay and moved it to the side
"this is it's a tunnel it's to the castle id sneak out to meet gentlemen all the time" I looked away embarrassed
"whoa princess perfect isn't so perfect" he said it teasingly with that Sexy half smile half smirk on his face id only seen a few times
"Shut Up eglesias!" I emphasized the first bit of each word a little mad and tuned pulling him on my back and running down the passage it went to the library I looked in in admiration it had been my favorite place alongside the gardens and stables he jest watched me I'm sure I looked like the kids in candy Store when they just got their allowance
'wow she's so beautiful' I had heard his thoughts again " I her he flushed red 'oh my God did I say that aloud of was did she do that mind reading thing again' he thought I shook my head 'I can hear your thoughts eli' I smiled as he looked at me
"how?" he said a little loud
"shhh they'll hear you" jest then I heard someone in the halls walking closer to the library
