Chapter 13: Proud
Apparently everyone knew I was pregnant, even before I told them. This made me sad, causing my head to bow a bit. Emil put his arms around me softly and said, "Hey there." He scratched his head and pulled out an apple. An apple? Are you kidding me? I'm not just feeding myself you idiot!
He threw it at my head and said, "And here I was going to say I missed you. Guess I didn't…" I was offended, but then thought about it for a second. Oh, it was a joke. I threw the apple back at him harder. "That wasn't funny, Emil." I said to him. "And all you've got for us to eat is an apple?" Emil laughed. "I thought we would share an apple. I know you like that romantic stuff." I sighed and said, "I'm already sharing with our child, Emil." Emil laughed and said, "I know, that's why I brought more than the apple." He took out six high quality steaks, and smiled. "I thought this might help the situation."
I looked at him and hugged him. I poked the steak with a knife and saw that it wasn't pink at all. My favorite kind…Emil sure knows how to cook. I smiled as I saw what it looked like. "Aww, it looks like a bear!" Emil smiled. "It was the first monster we fought against, so I thought I'd make it. Sort of like a sym-" He wasn't able to complete his sentence because my lips were on his. I loved him even more when he was romantic. He seemed to be like that quite a bit lately.
Ever since the previous incident we had with the Divinity Ring, his mood was a lot happier. He seemed to be braver, as if his time away from the real world had inspired him. "You inspire me even more, Marta." I looked at him and laughed. Apparently he could read my mind. After all, we did spend every minute of our time together.
He looked at me and sighed, "Marta? I got something the other day…" I looked at him curiously. "Yes, Emil, what is it?" He pulled out a needle and said, "You're an elf, and I'm a human." I looked at him curiously. "The only thing that makes us elves and humans is blood. Elves live a lot longer than humans, and that means I won't be there for your entire life!" I laughed and said, "You're right, of course." I laughed at how I said it. It sounded so mean, but it didn't seem to matter to him.
"So can I have some of your blood? I know that elven blood is much more potent than human's, so it will drain out my blood, and I will become an elf! Plus, I'll be able to use magic in other methods than the Sorcerer's Ring!" I nodded and said, "Well, if it will allow you to use magic elsewise…" I winked at him. The words he was speaking, how he wanted to be alive for my entire life, they were music to my ears. I hated needles, but I would do it for him, because I loved him.
The needle began to fill up with blood, and I laughed. "Wow, this really stings!" He laughed too and said, "You're halfway there. Be a girl! Suck it up!" I pouted and said, "Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean that I'm not tough!" Emil laughed and said, "Looks like it's done." I looked at the needle and said, "Why you little distracter!" He laughed, and I tossed him the needle.
He extended his arm, and shoved the needle into his arm. I saw the blood slowly beginning to enter his body, and eventually it was empty. He pulled the needle out, and the Sorcerer's Ring broke in half. Emil laughed. "Looks like it worked!" I smiled and held out my hand. "I call upon thee in the land of the dead, to unleash thy fury of thunder. Indignation!" A ball of electricity came from his hand and I said with a smirk, "You didn't think you could do spells like that without practice!" He stuck out his tongue at me and said, "Well you do it all the time!!" I did the same and said, "Well, you're the one that's in love with me!" He moved up to me and kissed me. His lips parted and he said, "And proud of it."
