Going Home
Part VI

*Eli paced the room like a caged animal. Daylight kept him trapped, remembering every hellish second of his conversation with Emily. It had been torture seeing the hurt in her eyes, trying to explain to her why any kind of future together was not possible and seeing her eyes fill with tears ... He cursed the damn Breed genetics that kept him away from her. Eli had analyzed the situation from every possible angle and always came back to the same questions. Did he have the right to keep her from having a family, babies, someone to grow old with? Was he man enough to withstand having her for a mere fistful of human years, then seeing her wither and die? God, was he even able to keep her safe from himself? Peaches was not a Breedmate, she was so fragile...breakable. He did not trust himself around her, was never sure that he would be able to control his basest urges and hurt her in a fit of passion. Eli raked his fingers through his hair. He had to go away before he did something for which he could never forgive himself. He had to go away, but not before he did something for her. As soon as night fell, he went to the Order office in Austin. What he needed to do, he couldn't do alone.

*His old friend Nolan greeted him enthusiastically* Hey guys look who's here! , Elijah how are you doing? To what do we owe this miracle? * Eli clasped Nolan's outreached hand * I'm here because I need your help. I've got some important business I need to discuss. I heard in Washington the crew here has been working hard in identifying the major rogue nests in the area. Is that investigation complete? *Nolan nodded in agreement* Yeah, we've been working on it for a while and we are ready to strike. We are working on the details. Why do you ask? *Eli looked his old friend directly in the eyes and replied* I need to go back soon, but there's one person here that's very important to me. Precious. I need to make sure that no rogue vampire can hurt her, ever. So my friend, you've got one more warrior for that cleanup. Let's

*The night was long and bloody but at its end every major rogue lair had been obliterated. Eli was almost completely covered in blood, his fighting had been that brutal. Almost execution style. His comrades looked at him warily, knowing that this mission had been personal to him. He didn't care. The only thing that mattered was that Peaches would be safe from now on.* I have one more thing to ask: that person I told you before...her name is Emily King. I need you guys to keep an eye on her. This is my contact info. Should ANYTHING happen concerning her, please contact me immediately . Can you do that for me?

*After securing the Order's protection for Emily, Eli returned to his Darkhaven. He would had killed for the opportunity to see her again, to hear her voice... With stoic resolution, he denied himself even the small consolation of a phone call. He had to make a clean break if he was going to end things with Em. Nevertheless, the pain of severing all his ties with her was eating at him. He made his suitcase, said goodbye to his parents and his friends, all the time hearing Em's response to his desperate promise of keeping in touch...

"No you won't, but that's okay. Maybe it's better that way"

THE END....OR IS IT?
