Surprise Child's

Chapter 44 Is Not Finished

After parting ways with Damien and the others Alessa chooses to re-investigate the Rider, after much research her hard work has paid off.

History is written by the winner, which is not as good as the Rider. He has a weakness that is in his dragon, the Rider and his mount are tied to a strong mind that makes him feel pain for each other.

As happened to Luca Sophia also feel, rumors about the Rider is the leader of the Elves was the biggest boogey that has spread for thousands of years.

The Rider was not present to lead the Elves to the highest race, but rather he was born to flatten all races. It's just that the ancestors of the Elves harnessed the power of the Rider to reach the peak of its glory, this is what is wrong.

When the Rider becomes the enemy of all races because of his beyond reason strength is actually tucked away an unconscious good, that is, the union of all races in order to achieve mutual peace.

Unfortunately the Elves were too proud not to unite, turning the facts upside down just because the Rider was born from the womb of the Elves finally history was created as they wanted.

Finding the truth Alessa also finds a way to save Sophia, Sophia's power as the Rider will only be activated if her heart becomes negative. Whether it's feeling sad, angry or hateful.

If the feeling was very strong then Sophia would lose consciousness and release the strength of the Rider, then the only way to save her was to calm her heart.

Now when the Rider's power is active due to grief Sophia sees Luca's severely wounded condition Alessa immediately rushes to try to come to him to calm him down.

But unfortunately the strong wind swirled around Sophia which made anyone unable to get close to her.

"Albert! we have to calm Sophia down!" exclaims Alessa approaching.

Albert dropped Damien off at a safe place, then asked "How?".

" I'll pave the way for you, once you get into the wind circle it's Sophia's consciousness no matter what."

"You sure it'll work? I tried to talk to him from the beginning but he didn't even realize I existed" he asked.

"Albert the only way to save Sophia is to keep her from negative feelings, she must not be angry, sad let alone hate. We have to make her heart comfortable to get rid of all those negative feelings" explained Alessa.

"Go!" exclamation Damien.

"I'm sure you can do it" Damien said firmly.

Staring at the confidence in Damien's eyes made Albert think what made him can be sure like that, was not he Sophia's lover so should only Damien be able to do this task.

While he was only a figurehead, someone who if there was none was no problem.

"We don't have much time" Alessa recalled.

"What should I do?" ask Albert.

"Tell her your feelings, I'm sure Sophia can hear you if you mean it" Damien replied.

"But why me?" ask Albert again.

"Because you're his twin brother" Damien said, riveting Albert.

Yes, they do not have the same DNA but are bound to the same blood. The blood of Meseress that made Sophia soft-hearted, the blood that made Albert willing to be bait from Sophia survived.

Clenching Albert's hands began to drown his body, his sharp gaze leading to a huge vortex of wind around Sophia.

"Let's do it!" abugn.

Alessa nodded, so they hurried away. Alessa makes a shield in Albert's body to protect him, the more Albert walks near Sophia the stronger the wind feels.

Alessa also increasingly exerted her strength so that Albert can walk without problems, certainly not easy especially when Albert managed to approach less than three feet.

The pressure from the wind almost makes Alessa reach her limit, Albert began to worry about her shield that began to crack.

"A little more!" albert asked Alessa to stay.

Alessa nodded with her face flushed red, while Albert took another step back. It feels heavy indeed against the vortex of wind, one of which he can be knocked or trapped in a round

Aaaaaaaarrrghhh....

Shouted Albert to spur his strength that felt weakened, only two more steps left and he would make it in. From behind the whirlwind Albert can see Sophia who stood upright not flinching like a statue.

"I am not. I will give up. " cried Albert forcing his foot to step.

whuuss...

Prang

With one jump Albert finally managed to enter and immediately the shield made by Alessa was broken, Albert gasping for breath.

"Sophia!" she held Sophia's shoulders.

But even though Sophia's body remained unconscious, she did not see who was standing before her or hear her cry.

"Sophia realize! I know you must have heard me, I beg Sophia. "please ask Albert with a hoarse voice due to tears that make his nose sore.

Still Sophia did not budge, making Albert almost desperate and blame himself for all the things that happened.

"When I first returned to the palace I saw was a sea of blood and ruins, from a prince I suddenly turned into a fugitive. Since I was a child I was alone without parents so when I found out they were dead I felt sad, but it was my sadness that I didn't have the chance to meet them," albert said slowly removing the strings that he never told anyone.

Staring at Sophia with a bitter smile he again said.

"I think you're luckier than me, at least you've met and felt their affection. Actually I envy you so much, because it was when I found out you were the Rider that my heart was immediately enveloped in the darkness that then wanted your death. But....how could I hurt my own brother?"

The question invited an onion that then dripped his tears, a taste of bitter melon in his nostrils that made him tight.

Regretfully he hugged Sophia, clutching her to channel his feelings.

"Why did you hurt yourself with all those feelings? if you want to be angry, hate me for bringing you to your misfortune" whispered Albert right in his ear.

"Sophia, don't be alone. I want you to share all your wounds with me. Because we're brothers, because you're a surprise kid, too" he continued.

Something jolted Sophia's heart, a sting that made her mind reveal various memories. All that made his heart feel happy, happy, sad, disappointed, angry, hate, sorry.

Mixing into one made a puddle in his eyes, one droplet then wet Albert's back which made him release a hug.

Slowly the whirlwind that surrounded them disappeared, Sophia had returned.

"Albert," call Sophia down.

In Albert's embrace until he felt calmer, even Luca who was initially helpless was now a little fresher to be able to rise even though the sword was still stuck in his chest.

"Luca, hang on" Sophia's pinta.

"Sophia! let me help treat the wound," said Alessa approached.

Roaaaaaaaaaaarrr...

Luca's screams were so bitter, making Sophia not have the heart especially when blood flowed profusely from her wound.

Quickly then Alessa recites the healing spell, it will drain her entire energy but she has no objections at all.

A light then emerged from both of her palms, Alessa immersing the light into the wound on Luca's chest while continuing to cast a spell.

Slowly the tear disappeared, stopping the outflow of blood.

Brucks

"Oxie!" sophia exclaimed in shock to find Alessa suddenly staggered down after treating Luca.

Albert swiftly supported Alessa's body in his arms.

"We have to leave quickly.The sun will rise soon," he said weakly.

They stared at the sky, white light began to appear on the east side. Unexpectedly the night quickly passed, Sophia also told Albert to lift Alessa's body on Luca's back.

"I'll take Damien too, you three go first I'll catch up later" Albert said.

Sophia nodded in agreement, carrying two helpless bodies along with Sophia Luca flying over the sky. Leaving the charred castle and leaving a little fire here, while Albert made sure all the werewolves had left and he left.

......................

The battle between Aro and Zaruta was immediately stopped when they realized Sophia was not there, giving each other calculations they agreed not to be bound and go their own way.

Zaruta chose to run away when he realized the dawn was about to break, while Aro had a look around. Find out where Sophia's going to follow in her footsteps tomorrow night.

......................

In the cave where Sophia and Luca lived they gave treatment to Damien and Alessa, lucky Alessa was just exhausted so she just needed to rest.

The next day he had woken up fit, going out to look for medicinal plants for Damien. When he returned he helped Sophia make potions, seeing how dexterous Sophia was he realized Sophia's magic was more inclined in the science of medicine.

"You learned all this at the Academy?" ask Alessa.

"Yes, when I was given the challenge of turning a feather into my weapon, it turned into a scalpel. From there the Dean told me to deepen the science of medicine" he said.

"I'm sure a few years later your medical science will be the greatest in the whole world" Alessa said.

"Don't praise me like that, compared to your science it's nothing. I can't treat a wound like you did Luca" she said.

Alessa smiled and said, "It took me ten years to master the science but I'm sure you only need a few months."

"How can you be so sure?" ask Sophia.

"Because you're an expert in medicine" he said.

Sophia was pensive, she did not understand why people were so sure of her when she was always full of doubts herself.

"What are you thinking?" damien asked, clearly seeing the look on Sophia's face as she sat beside him.

"Ah no," he said, shaking his head.

Damien's hand, which could now be moved, moved, grasped Sophia's hand, squeezing it gently.

"You have successfully fought the Rider, I am sure that in the future we can live together without problems. Therefore don't hide anything from us" he said.

Sophia fell silent, not knowing what to answer because she knew it wasn't over. As long as he is alive at any time he will be hunted and repeatedly Damien and his loved ones will be in danger.

Releasing Damien's hand he said, "After you're healed we'll be a long way from here, but the path we take won't be the same."

"What do you mean?" damien asked while frowning.

Sophia threw away her face, not wanting to answer now as her heart was also not ready to say all the parting while longing still stoned her heart.

He remained silent and Damien, as usual, did not force Sophia to speak.

Meditating Sophia sat at the mouth of the cave, fearlessly falling down and ending in death. Alessa, who was watching, sat right next to him, staring at the lush tree.

"I'll go, maybe tomorrow," he said.

"Where?" ask Sophia.

"So, everyone has seen my face so I will surely be hunted as the enemy of the world on the side of the Rider. But I don't care, there's still an untouched part of the world and I'm sure there's a place that suits me."

"Sorry" said Sophia.

"Why are you sorry?" ask Alessa.

"Because I made your life so difficult, if we hadn't met, if you hadn't been on my side you would have lived a quiet life."

"Oh Sophia, I did all this for Damien! it has nothing to do with you!" it was Alessa who made Sophia frown.

Alessa breathed a long, irreparable piece of heart rebelling her mouth to speak.

"When I was a teenager it was the best time I ever had, my potential as a witch was realized by the witch who made me a student. But I don't like to learn, I keep on fighting and throwing tantrums until he's overwhelmed. That was when she met a very charming vampire, her cold eyes made me not want to blink. Her cold attitude made me wonder what she liked and hated" Alessa began her story.

"At that time I realized that I was a prey for him, instead of fearing that I was hooked as he buried his mouth in my neck. I could no longer control myself thirsting for her until I escaped from the Magical Lady and continued to walk behind her, until she finally broke my desires."

Inadvertently Sophia approached, too curious as to how the story continued.

"He treats all women equally, slowly it made me realize that until any moment a vampire would never feel love until in the end that sky-high hope became a hammer that beat my heart to shatter."

"He's... Damien?" ask Sophia.

"My heart was broken until I took the oath to make him my friend forever, but his name is still in the pieces of my heart. When for the first time I saw love in her eyes I knew my vows had to be well done" Alessa said earnestly.

Sophia was fixated, she did not expect that there was pure love waiting for Damien all this time. It made him feel guilty for as if he had snatched Damien by force.

"My love is not perfectly reciprocated, but instead I get something more."

Alessa looked at Sophia fixedly.

"Young Bet, by being with Damien I'm getting a connection with vampires. All this time I helped them in various ways and instead I got a youthful serum that came from their blood. Aren't I being so naive?" ask Alessa.
