Hi its Sprinkles here with another chapter of Turks on a Serious Mission. And Cupcake has written a special poem about it at the end! Enjoy!
All the other Turks walked into the room. Elena watched them come in, Reno, Rude and…. Tseng! Her heart gave a jump when she saw Tseng and she knew that she loved him and not Rufus however good looking Rufus is. But Rufus is the president! Can she say no?
Elena looked at Rufus and then at Tseng. They are so different she thought. Rufus is blonde with those azure eyes that most girls would die for and he is so gorgus and hot even if he is a bit to arogaunt. I can't believe he is interested in little old me! But then she looked at Tseng. He is dark with brown eyes that you can get lost in and she knew that she loved him because she always had from the first time she saw him. Rufus Can't compete with that. And Reno and Rude are quite hot too but Reno is too loud and always messing around and Rude is too quite and both of them are NOT TSENG.
But Tseng was her BOSS and he has never said that he loves her or even that he likes her but Rufus kissed her! What is she going to do?
"Hello Elena, I hope you are better?" said Tseng.
"Y – y- yes thankyou and how are you?" said Elena because she is so nervous.
Tseng gave her a funny look. Well I am fine, but I did not nearly just Die," he said. I'm happy you're better anyway." Then he thought he was showing his feeling too much so he made his face look serious.
Elena was pleased but then Tseng said "We haven't got many Turks and we need you on duty as soon as you can. I am still very angry with Reno for letting you get into danger."
Reno was sorry and he is not normally sorry. "I am sorry Elena" he said. "I mean it. I shouldn't of done it and put you in danger."
"It's ok Reno I know you didn't mean it," Elena said. She is feeling a bit sad because Tseng only wants her back at work and not because he has feelings for her. Suddenly Elena had an idea. What if Tseng thought she liked Rufus! Would he be jealous?
"I will try to be back at work soon" Elean said "but it has been nice here talking to Rufus. He has really cheered me up and stopped me being bored.
"Good," said Tseng. "But you should not distract Rufus from his job which is very important."
"Oh work work work!" shouted Elena. "That's all you care about! You should be more like Rufus who understands about what girls want."
"Oh I am so sorry" says Tseng sarcasticly "I thought you were a TURK and not a girl."
"I'm BOTH!" shouts Elena. "And sometimes I think I am the only one who realizes that!"
"Hay" said Reno "I know you're a girl Elena. And so are Tseng and Rufus or is that the hair and the coat that looks like a dress?" Then he quickly runs out of the room to avoid the death glares from his two bosses.
Rude stood there looking like he didn't know what to do. But at least know one had called him a girl.
"all right I'm out of here" said Tseng. "Elena you must be back at work tomorrow."
"I will, " said Elena, but she was not happy. Rude and Tseng left. "Do you think Elena likes Rufus?" Tseng said.
"Do you mind if she does?" Rude asked
"No no I don't care," said Tseng. Then he said lowly "Why should I care anyway?"
"I don't understand girls," said Rude.
"I don't either," Tseng said in agreement.
Rufus gave Elena one of his killer smiles and she giggled but all she thought was if only he was Tseng. But she knows that Tseng will never smile at her like that.
"So you DO like me?" rufus says.
"I I I" said Elena. But then Rufus KISSES her again.
"I have been a lone for to long" Rufus said. "It is not great being in charge of everything unlike everyone thinks. I have been looking for someone to marry and I think I've found her!"
"Oh who is she?" said Elena hoping that Rufus will know that she does not want this! But Rufus says, "YOU!"
Elena is stunned into silence. "But I d d don't "
"Don't thank me" said Rufus. "All you have to do is say yes."
"But I don't"
"Say yes" said Rufus. "Or I will die. I LOVE you Elena and I can't live without you."
What can she do? She knows that Tseng will never love her even though she loves him so much it hurts deep inside. But Rufus is her BOSS and she can't be the one to kill him with her cruel rejection. So Elena remembered that she was a turk first after all and a girl second and she thinks Tseng is right I can't be both as much as eachother. I will do my job and save Rufus. Also she knows it is her own falut for being mean and trying to make Tseng (who is the one she really loves) JEALOUS.
With a sad face that she tried to make into a smile Elena said "Yes Rufus Shinra I WILL marry you."
"You have made me the happiest man alive!" shouted Rufus from the rooftops.
"I'm happy that you're happy," Elena said. But inside her heart is full of sharp bits of glass and all of them have reflections of Tseng's face in them.
"I cannot wait to marry you so it will be tomorrow!" said Rufus. "I will get Tseng to give you the day off. I will go and tell him now." And he rushed out.
A single tear trickles down Elena's face. "It's alright" she says to herself "Tseng won't care. At least I am being a turk and Tseng would be proud of me if he knew why I'm marrying Rufus. But he must never know!"
What will happen? Can Elena go through with it and what will Tseng think?
Cupcake has written a poem to go with this story. Check out her other poems too :D
Elena's Sacrifice by Cupcake
Elena is a girl but also a Turk
And she is finding that it does not work
Her love for Tseng is as deep as it is true
But she fears she will never hear him say "I love you."
Rufus sits upon his metaphorical throne
But he is so sick and tired of being alone.
Work is not the mistress for him he knows
"A wife!" He thinks. "I need one of those."
But about the only woman he knows is Elena
She may be a Turk but he thinks he can tame her.
She is hot and she probably looks good in a dress
And Rufus longs for someone to carress.
He starts to think about her all the time
And looks at her picture and even writes her a rhyme!
But he does not know that her heart is not free
It belongs to another, and that is not he.
Elena thinks only of the one she desires
And that is her boss – the one who hires and fires!
But he has set fire to her soul
And now she knows she could lose control.
But she cannot do that for she is a Turk
And although Tseng doesn't love her he does respect her work.
So when Rufus asks her to be his wife
She only smiles and hands over her life.
She knows that her heart it will have to be ice
And her true love must never know about her sacrifice.
