Love Agreement With The King

Felicity was practicing in the garden with John, she had ups and downs in controlling her powers. Some days she would have familiarity with her powers, other days her powers took full control over her, and John and Roselyn had to intervene to minimize the damage.

One day Elijah and Felicity practiced together with John, he explain to his sons what they could do to attack the others and the best moves for defense.

then after a long complete explanation, he finally let them free to train together.

Felicity and John stood afar from each other and when John told them they could start, Felicity was the first one to launch her magic attack.

she stretched her hand and aimed at the glass, plants began to grow fastly rising from the ground and growing to grip Elijah's knees.

he tried to fast but the plants' stems impeded him to move.

he revealed his long claws and kneeled to rip them off but Felicity figured out his attack before he could experiment with it and she grow more plants which gripped over his wrists as well.

Elijah had both his legs and arms enchanted by plants and he had no escapement.

"Good move, Felicity!" John commented smiling at both of them. He walked to his son and tore the stems afar freeing him from the grip.

"next round!" John exclaimed, he pointed at Elijah, "you start first now."

Elijah focused, he closed his eyes and clenched his fist, he could feel the flow of her energies running through her veins.

He resonated what to do, he could speed and attack her by crushing her on the ground but that wouldn't be a definitive attack. He needed to do something to trap her or impede her to use her magic. He noticed that every time she stretched her hand, maybe she wasn't able to control her powers without moving her hand yet so he had to find a method to impede the hand's movement, by doing so he may have a chance to win the round.

"Ready?" John asked noticing Elijah was taking longer to launch his attack.

Elijah nodded slowly, "I am preparing my strategy." He declared.

Roselyn meantime reached them in the garden, she didn't want to miss the first train of them together. During the first round, she watched them from afar but since both Elijah and Felicity seemed to focus to mind Roselyn's arrival she walked closer to them.

John gave him a few more minutes to think and then he finally raised his voice to start the second round. "Go!"

Elijah took a long deep breath, he speeded to dodge each attack of Felicity, who was launching his water jets.

His eyes fell on the tree beside Felicity, and a long rope on the ground, he had an idea and speed as fastly as he could to push her against the trunk and quickly tie her around the tree with her hands on her breast impeding her to move.

She tried to move, to get free from the chord but unable to do much she gave up glancing at his brother offended.

"That was a smart move, Elijah!" John complimented, "you understood her strong point was her hands and you managed to tie those so that she wouldn't move.

"I am proud of both of you, you both fought wisely and strongly." John intervened while Roselyn walked to Felicity and got her free from the chord.

She then checked if she was fine and after she made sure she was Roselyn smiled at her.

"You have to make sure to use your advantages and your powers well enough to combine smart and powerful attacks." John continued.

"You have to use your mind first and then your actions, just like Elijah did. You would have been in difficulty if it wasn't for your smart gesture because she has magic powers. But trapping her was a checkmate."

John smiled to both his sons, "we should go back inside now and celebrate your improvement!

As the days passed by John noticed Elijah got stronger and did amazing progress. The more he trained with his sister the more he improved and he grew both physically and powerfully.

Maybe if he didn't grow earlier in his childhood it was because he had never trained with her, they were indeed twins so it was possible and plausible if they were linked together, they probably would reach their maximum level of growth and improvement only if their both capabilities grew in sync.

When John and Roselyn realized that they made them train together more often so that they could also improve their relationship more and get to know how the other reacted or defended from each attack.

After one month of practice, Elijah finally was as tall and as muscled as the other vampires of his age, he could even keep up with their speed and even run faster than some of them.

They stopped to make fun of him since they had no reason to and Elijah finally was happy in his own body and didn't have any more reason to feel uncomfortable or not enough anymore.

John explained to him the reason why he wasn't improving when he was younger and that he had a special connection with his sister which allowed them to improve whenever they trained together.

Elijah and Felicity both reacted well to the news, Felicity couldn't be happier to hear she was the special key to allow his brother to improve whereas Elijah was relieved to hear he wasn't wrong or weak, but on the contrary, he needed the help of her sister to achieve his strength.

The following day, Roselyn and John visited Kratez to make sure everything was going according to the plans even if they moved back to the castle. If there was still Ethan John would have asked him to take his throne and rule on Kratez while he definitely moved in the village but since Victor wasn't able nor willing to help, Kratez was currently off the rails.

Indeed the situation was even more drastic than they had imagined, people took advantage of John's absence and invaded each other's territory, creating disputes and polemic between them.

When John intervened during a fight one of the two werewolves who were fighting glowered at him and looked down at John in disappointment and anger.

"You had to choose Kratez and shall have stayed!" He said, lifting his voice and spitting on the ground to release his discontent.

John shook his head, "I have one purpose in life and that is to take care of my realm. I was ruining on Kratez because of those animalistic irrational fights over silly things!" John raised his voice and frowned.

He hated when they misunderestimated his work just because he had always helped them and took control over the situation, if those creatures weren't able to live together and get along that was their problem, not John's.

The bot remained silent so John took a deep breath of relief, "I will try my best to keep an eye on Kratez too and control the situation." John said to reassure both of the two guys who looked very nervous about Kratez's situation.

The royal couple came back home, there were many things to take care of now that they had finally come back in the garden, John had to attend his coronation yet, he also needed to teach Elijah to control his instincts in case he ever met a human or got close to them enough to smell their blood.

Then lastly he also had to find another ruler for Kratez before the situation would get out of control.

He leaned his head over his hand and sighed, "I wish my father was here, to help me and support me." He said, as Roselyn reached him and sat on his nap, caressing his cheek.

"He hated the idea of leaving so he barely spoke about his death and what I had to do in case something like this happened. He probably thought that by avoiding the matter he would postpone the day." John's voice rang anger.

"I wish I could give him some of my immortal years. Maybe if I bit him now he would still be here…" John continued, angrier and more frustrated as if his heart was filled with regrets and guilt.

Roselyn shook her head, "no, John. It's not like that. Perhaps it was his time to die and although you've supernatural powers, nobody can control death." Roselyn said, her hand placed on her breast and she took long breathes.

"I know, sometimes it's just hard to control where my mind goes and the voices in my head get so loud that I barely can be positive." John rested his hands on his head and pulled his hair as if he was devasted. His voice was so vulnerable that Roselyn had to hold back the urge to hug him.

She knew he only needed her to be emotionally there for him, sometimes even listening to people during their mental breakdown was enough to make them feel better.
