Manifest: The story

Chapter 3: Shadows of the devil I

Vlad: Hm-

Elaina: I mean... You know, your last name was never really changed and you been hiding that from the public after me & mom took you in 6 years ago on a rainy day... But that doesn't matter for now, what matters is that You do not consider yourself adopted by any means, you never were really, my parents refused to adopt you for a good reason.

Vlad then cuts the carrots and puts them into the frying pan which was on the top getting heatend up.

Vlad: Oh I see what you mean, I should change my last name to Vans after we marry or keep my real name and use Vans as a fake one...

Vlad: But your parents forced me to fake my last name till we both are legal enough to marry, tell me why did they do so much for some random kid?

Elaina puts a bit salt on the carrots in the frying pan and some spicy sause as she moves the spoon in a circle, making sure no carrots fall off.

Elaina: Well let's just say we have that one rule which also applies to heroes to take anyone in and help em if they need to. It's normal, really. I am just waiting till you turn 18 this august...

Elaina smiled and giggles as if she was preparing for the day Vlad turned 18.

Elaina: To be honest, we took you in because we had to help you, but I grew so attached to you, so I convinced my parents if you can stay in and live with us. Man did it take sometime to convince em... Heh guess I had interest in you not as a brother, just as someone who I can talk to without freaking out I am a half-breed and I have a demon form...

Elaina: You understand me, I understand you... We are quite the duo and you know it.

Vlad looked at her again and Elaina looked at him, their eyes were meeting.

Elaina: You wanted to become a great hero since childhood, I wanted a person who understands me... Guess we both will get what we want in the end of the day, am I right?

Vlad smiles.

Vlad: Obviously! Either ways you got yours, I am gonna make my dream a reality too! I will become a great hero and protect everyone!

They continued cooking and after they cooked and finished, they made up the table and sit on it eating together as usual, They both looked happy again, almost as if they went off track.

The next moring, it was time... Elijah has made his way to Europe in Paris (France) and then he took a plane for Sofia (Bulgaria). Elijah breaths in and out getting out of the airplane and walking down the stairs.

Elijah: Bulgaria, the home to the ranked 7th royal family... Their big place is located in Plovdiv.

Elijah exits the airport after few minutes and goes to find a good fast food place before he goes to take a train, considering that he has to work with the Ivanovs till Garou is contained. Elijah took his time getting food to eat and food for later as he now gotten to the train station... He stopped as he saw someone spesific...

Someone: So you have finally came to Bulgaria after saying you would contain Garou as quick as possible haha... Such an irony.

That someone spoke as if it's normal to say that... Of course it has to be UltraX.

UltraX: You know, it is just business between my family & you, after Garou is done for... Well we will part ways and never talk ever again, do you understand?
