The Magical Alpha's Forbidden Mate

AM I GOING CRAZY?

I couldn’t fall asleep no matter how hard I tried I just couldn’t. looking at a sleeping Jessy I feel envious. Why can I never fall asleep this fast?

Andy is in the room across from mine, he wanted to sleep with me, but I said no. right now I wish I’ve said yes.

I got off the bed walking to the door. I turned the knob but the door is locked. Why the hell is the door locked? I asked hoping to wake Jessy, but no such luck. I reached for the key but it isn’t there.

I’ve searched everywhere and I still can’t find the key. I walked over to Jessy and woke her up. “Jess where is the room key?” I asked her. She stirred, but didn’t wake up.

I shook her harder and spoke louder, “Jessy where is the bedroom key?” I asked her again. She looked at me and said, “he took it.” I looked at her confused, “who the hell is he?” I asked.

I heard the floor creak on the other side of the room and ran over to the door. “Andy we’re locked in and I can’t find the key.” Silence. Why would no one answer me? I thought as I continued to listen by the door.

“Andy?” I don’t usually get scared, but right now I am getting scared and I have no idea what is going on. I stepped back saw a shadow from under the door.

I ran to the door and started banging, “let us out!” I shouted. Nothing but silence followed.

I eventually just gave up and calmed myself down. I looked at the door and huffed. ‘I should be screaming and fighting for being locked inside a room, but I’m not. Why am I not crying or fighting to get out?’

The next minute I’m out of the room and in a dark hallway. ‘what the hell is happening? I asked myself closing my eyes and opening them again. I even tried pinching myself, but nothing happens.

I walked down the hallway feeling my heart beating faster and my breath coming out in shallow pants. “what the hell is happening?’ I shouted but the only thing that answered me was my own echo bouncing off the walls.

I put my hand on the wall and pulled it back immediately, the walls are wet and slimy and I swear something moved under my hand. ‘this is so disgusting.’ I said to no one in particular. I swear this hallway is shrinking. The hallway is becoming even more narrow with every step I take. I turn sideways so that I can fit through the gap, because it is no longer a hallway. Coming closer to the end I can feel my heartbeat slowed down and I’m no longer cloto a panic attack, my breathing evened out and I feel calm.

When I came to the end of the hallway I stood in front of a door, feeling unsteady I slowly opened the door and there was nothing there except a room full of insects, and I mean insects of every kind. Worms, ants, spiders, flies, everything you can think of is in this room, either flying or crawling. on the other side of the room is another door and there is no where else I can go except through my worst nightmare.

The first worm that crawled up my leg had me jumping and screaming. ‘I am going to die here today.’ I thought as I tried again.

I have been going back and forth crying out all my tears and my throat hurts from all the screaming. ‘Why are you doing this to me?’ I shouted.

I’m sitting with my back to the door hanging my head low. ‘What have I ever done to deserve this? Feeling scared and weak I got up off the floor on shaky legs and took a deep breath.

I inhaled and exhaled a couple of times, I felt something in me snap and I wasn’t scared anymore. I didn’t have a raising heart, I didn’t have sweaty palm I didn’t feel anything in fact.

I looked at the door knowing what is on the other side, but I opened it and just walked through. Stepping on everything in my way feeling how it crushes under my bare feet I walk through with my head high and not an ounce of fear within me.

I opened the door and darkness greeted me. I waited for my eyes to adjust and when it did I started looking for a light switch.

Finally I found one and all that were in the room were two chairs a small round table and a man sitting with his back to me. I walked closer thinking ‘why am I not scared?’

I waited for whoever it is to turn around, but he never did so I slowly walked around the chair and came face to face with a dead person. And by the looks of the skeleton he has been dead for years.

“What am I supposed to do with you now?” I asked looking at the skeleton as if it’s going to answer me. I used to be afraid of dead people, and here I am talking to one as if its ganna start talking back.

I took a look around and I couldn’t find anything except for a very weird looking knife thing on a stick. I took a closer look and ran my hand over the half moon blade I didn’t realize I was pressing down onto the blade until I felt a burn and saw blood running from my finger.

I put my finger in my mouth to try and stop the bleeding, but it is not working the blood keeps dripping. I look up at the knife thing and I swear it shimmered. I took a look around the room again and something is different. I walked over to the skeleton and it was smiling now. I know I said I wasn’t scared or anything, but I am completely freaked out now.

I slowly lifted my hand and touched the shoulder of the skeleton. It grabbed my wrist and kept shouting “you are marked now.” I tried pulling my hand free but the thing’s grip was unreal so I just started screaming.

I jolted upright in bed and came face to face with a very worried looking Jessy and Andy.

Sweat is dripping off my face and my body is sticky. I look down onto the bed and it looks like someone poured water over me. I looked at Jessy and then saw the glass next to her bed.

She looked at me and said, “you were screaming and trashing around in bed, we tried waking you but you wouldn’t wake up so we improvised.” I looked over at Andy and he was staring at me like a lost puppy. I took his hand in mine and when I rubbed my finger forefinger across the back of his hand I flinched and looked at my hand. There was a cut on my finger and a small drop of dried blood. I jumped out of bed throwing back the covers looking to see if I can see blood and there it is in the middle of the bed. I looked at Jessy and asked her, “why is there blood on the bed?” She looked at me confused and then looked at the matrass and back at me. “There is no blood Anna just a wet patch from the water.” I put my finger on the matrass right beside the blood and said, “There Jessy there is blood on the bed.” I looked at her and then at Andy, they were both looking at me as though I have lost my mind. I looked down at my finger and the droplet of blood is still there so I shoved my hand in Andy’s face and said, “There is blood on my finger where I cut it.” He looked down at my hand and said, “Anna there is nothing there. You just had a bad dream that’s all.” Andy sat down on the bed and pulled me onto his lap. I stare at my finger remembering my dream. ‘what did it mean by “you are marked now?” and what was that blade? I asked myself.

Monday came sooner than I would have liked, but school is school right. I took one of my mother’s sleeping tablets Sunday evening so that I won’t have to dream. I am still shaken up about the dream I had Saturday night and nothing made sense anymore. Why couldn’t Jessy and Andy see the blood? Why couldn’t they see the cut on my finger? Why couldn’t they hear the voice? What the hell is happening? I asked myself.

My alarm went off giving me a fright I sat up so fast my head spun. Jessy looked at me sleepily and just groaned. School isn’t that bad. Everyone just ignores me most of the time, the only time they really do bug me is when I get a question right in class that everyone else got wrong.

I got up from the bed and walked over to Andy’s room to make sure he is awake. I knocked on the door and heard a groan so I figured he’s awake and left to get ready.

I took a shower and dressed in simple black jeans and my grey hoody and for shoes well I’m more of a sneaker kind of girl.

When I was done I went down stairs to make some cereal and I remembered that Andy doesn’t eat in the mornings and Jessy only eats oat bars so I just made cereal for myself.

I sat down at the table looking at the TV trying to make sense of everything. “good morning gorgeous.” I heard Andy say as he walked in. I looked up and smiled at him seeing what he is wearing my jaw dropped. He is wearing light blue ripped jeans with a white T-shirt that outlines his every muscle and white sneakers, his hair is still messy and half wet from the shower.

“good morning yourself.” I said and closed my mouth. How did I never notice that he gets bulkier by the day? I asked myself and I couldn’t stop staring.

“do you want all the girls in school to have a heart attack?” I asked wiggling my eyebrows at him. he laughed and walked over to me bending down to my level, “there is only one girl I want and now I have her.” he said and kissed my lips. I leaned into him and dragging my hand through his hair tugging lightly. I don’t know if he became an animal or what because he growled. I broke the kiss and said, “did you just growl at me?”

He straightened and said, “you bring out my animal side, what can I say.” I just stared at him and he laughed. “close your mouth sweetheart wouldn’t want anything flying in.” he said and walked off. Jessy came running in saying we are ganna be late if we don’t go now. I finished my cereal and we drove to school in my mustang.
