Identity V || One Shots

Eli Clark (Part One)

When you were eight years old, you had escape one of the biggest moments of your life. Your dad had killed your mom with a shotgun just so he could be with his mistress. He tried killing you off as well yet you had escaped. You had stumbled across the Oletus Manor and decide to seek refuge for the night. You knock on the big gates which were opened by a doctor. "Oh my. It's cold out here. What are you doing at this hour?"

"My father killed my mother and now he's going to find me." Emily pitied you and decided to take you in. You were sitting by the fireplace. Emily was in the kitchen preparing you a hot drink. A man had entered the room and wondered who you were. "You are?"

"I'm (First Name)."

"A new survivor?"

"I guess? I might probably die in the next few days if my father finds me."

Eli was not understanding the situation. Emily came at the right time and explained the situation. "Ah, I see." Eli decides to lend his owl to you. "It can keep you safe." You nod before thanking him. After you finished drinking your hot drink, you were brought to a room beside Emily's. "You can stay here. My room is next to yours so don't hesitate to knock if you have any problems." You had thanked Emily before resting in the room. The owl had silently hooted, probably telling you to get rest and so you did.

The next few days, Eli had been helping you around. You had met the other survivors who had been playing a match with a hunter. This was your first time hearing of this as you were never allowed to come out of your house. You were only allowed to read from the library as you were the only daughter and heir to your father's company although he probably has a child with his mistress now. With Eli helping you around, you were able to get the hang of everything. You were learning how to cook food since maids were always preparing them for you. With Eli's kind gesture, you couldn't help but fall in love with him.

Ten years have passed and their matches were still going on although some of the survivors were saying that it was a scam and whatever they were searching for were impossible to find. You knew that Eli had come here for money and that he has a fiancée. Although you knew this, you still can't help but still fall in love with him. "Say (First Name), when will you confess to Eli?" Emma was curious. "I don't know." You tell Emma who was now giving you a pout. "Aww, why not?" Emma's too innocent to know these things. If you had gotten together with Eli, what would happen with his fiancée? "I'm shy." You lied. Emma gives you a thumbs down. "Boring."

At that moment, Eli had entered the kitchen. "How's it going (First Name)?" He asks. "I'm doing alright." You were baking chocolate chip cookies today. "Here, let me help." He went behind you and helps you stir the batter. With the closure between you and Eli, you couldn't help but blush at his action. What you didn't know what that Eli was outside listening to your conversation with Emma. He didn't mean to eavesdrop but he heard his name so he was curious. "I-I can do it myself." You were trying to wriggle out of his embrace but Eli still stayed still. "Do you mean what you said?" You were confused. "About what?"

"You like me?"

"Uh..." You were speechless. Eli had heard your conversation? "I... yeah. I'm sorry. I know you have a fiancée. It's completely okay if you don't reciprocate my feelings." Eli turns you around to see tears almost forming in your eyes. He closes the gap between the both of you by placing his lips on yours. You had never expected this in your life. "If I say I like you too, would you be with me?"

"But you have a fiancée."

"I know and I can break the engagement off as well."

What you didn't know was that Eli's owl had been watching you both and had flown away to report this to a certain someone. The next day, everyone had known you both were together and congratulated you. "This calls for a celebration!" Demi announces, raising her Dovlin high up in the air. Everyone was drinking in the morning and you couldn't believe it. "It's alright. There's are no matches happening today." Luca says before downing a glass of Dovlin.

You, Eli, Helena, and Martha were the ones who didn't drink since you weren't much of a drinker and they were both underages. Eli didn't want to drink since he wanted to spend time with you. It was already noon and no one was awake except you and Eli. Helena and Martha were resting in their rooms. Eli had decided to bring you to the back of the manor. "I would help Emma plant her flowers here." He picks up your favorite flower and places it on your hair.

"So this is what you were doing." You turn around to see a girl around your age. "Gertrude." Eli was shocked that she was here. "Who's she, Eli?"

"My fiancée." You were speechless. You had never expected to see her like this. What were you going to do?
