Sebastian smiled, understanding he left Elijah speechless, "it's fine. It's something I have to deal with for the rest of my life. Maybe one day those things won't be able to penetrate me as much as they do now."
Elijah returned the smile and caressed his friend's shoulder, "I am sorry. I promise you one thing." Elijah said as he leaned closer to him his voice lowered down. He checked the surroundings and after making sure no one was listening he smiled.
"When you will be old enough I promise you I will bring you to meet them. While you grow I will look for them... I will find out if they are... if there is any chance to meet them and if there is I will try my best to make you meet them so you will find your answers." Elijah said, clenching his fists in determination.
Sebastian smiled and nodded vigorously, he always wanted to meet them, to find out more about them. Even seeing how they looked would be enough for him and would make him feel better.
He didn't want to ask them why they left him, no, that wasn't his purpose at all, he only wanted to know how they looked like and to meet them.
"I don't want to ask them anything, I only want to see them. Even if they won't recognize me... I just want to hear their voices and have an idea of how they look like." Sebastian said aloud his thoughts and Elijah remained even more shocked. if he was Sebastian he would throw them thousands of questions but he didn't want to push him.
"I promise you then that I will find their names. Sooner or later." Elijah said, smiling and knitting jos eyebrows together. He stretched his hand waiting for Sebastian to shake it to sanction the deal.
When he shake it they both hugged together.
The lunch was ready so John called the two boys to gather with them and eat.
After having a good lunch, John and Roselyn came back home with their sons.
During the lunch, Felicity proved to her little audience she successfully learned how to babble the word "mama" which was the closest thing to the word mom.
Learning a new word at that age meant that the only word she knew she would say that on any occasion. Hungry? Mama
sleepy? Mama
seeing someone new or referring to anyone? Mama
the only thing she said over and over was that word.
However, the positive thing was that when the kids came back home they were tired enough to rest with a good nap.
John and Roselyn meantime cleaned the house since they let the maids take some days off and meantime started to plan some gifts for Christmas since it was only in few months left and they had to get their children their gifts.
they didn't announce they are going to marry yet, because Roselyn wanted to tell the news with the whole family gathered together.
However, despite that, John and Roselyn couldn't be closer and happier than they were.
Thanks to the babies their life completely changed and slowed down, John didn't practice as much as before and the inhabitants of Kratez looked at him with different eyes as if he changed, probably having the same mindset John used to have before he fell in love. The kind of mindset that considered letting someone in, would mean allowing them to make you weak and take advantage of you.
But John didn't care, all that mattered to him was that his thought was different. He didn't care if they thought he got weaker or more vulnerable he only cared about his and Roselyn's happiness.
***
The next day when Elijah had woken up right after making breakfast as praxis he went to train. He trained with his friends in the morning or with John in the afternoon every other day.
As he trained with the other vampires he asked around if any of them knew how to find people if you didn't know their names nor their last names.
The boys laughed and shook their heads confused, "who do you need to find?" one of them asked but Elijah shrugged.
He didn't want to tell them about Sebastian and his mission, but at the same time, he needed to find a way to learn more about his parents or at least find out their names.
He promised that to Sebastian and he was more than willing and motivated to help him to know their parents. Especially after all the times John told him about Ethan, he didn't know him but from the way people spoke about him, he knew he was a good person.
Elijah speeded to the village, so many people not too far away from him so he hid behind a tree while he managed to control his instincts, he never smelled that much of human blood and he was attracted to it as a magnetic or a craving.
He shook his head and clenched his fists, he had to stay strong and resist if he didn't want to be discovered and who knows how many worst things would happen.
When he spotted the owner of the orphanage leaving the place to chat in the garden with some woman he walked closer to it by kneeling.
He finally sneaked inside and rush to the table where he could spot some dossiers.
Luckily Roselyn taught him how to read so that he could search for Sebastian's name in there and maybe if lucky enough find his parents' names as well.
There it was, the name Sebastian in caps. He smiled, but he had to hurry, he could hear the woman's footsteps echoing from afar.
He browsed through the pages until a voice made him halt and freeze.
"Who are you?"
Human's succulent blood immersed him as he turned around slowly and let the book fall on the ground, a loud noise echoed inside the room filled by a curse under his breath.
