The Fate of the Unknown

Chapter 29: what is going on?

Me??

“The sight of you took my breath away. Well, figuratively speaking. I was drawn to you. It was on your 16th birthday. You were sitting outside reading a book wrapped in blankets with a coat and hat on. I could tell you were really sick. Even though you were sick, you were still thee most beautiful girl I had ever seen. I had to fight everything in me, not to come to you. I wanted to come to you and take care of you. I wanted to send every second of my time with you. But I couldn’t. So instead I have been watching you. Here and there. Just to feel near you. Being near you, makes me want to be a better man. Before your last birthday I couldn’t hold back. That’s how you saw me at the mall. Then when I saw you walking at night, alone. I had to watch and make sure you were safe. When that guy put his hands on you, it took everything in my power not to kill him. The only reason he lives and breathes, is because you begged me to stop.” He says with anger in his eyes. I am at a loss for words. So he’s the one who has been watching me.

“I have a proposition for you.” He states. Staring at me, a smile creeping up on his face.

“Uh. Yes?” I barely could muster up.

“Could we spend time together? You certainly must feel this spark between us the way that I do, right?” He asks, sounding a little uncertain.

I couldn’t speak. Everything he just said was like a bomb dropping on me. The feelings I have been feeling aren’t one sided like I assumed. The person I keep feeling watch me, is him. As my mind is racing he starts to speak again.

“Oh.. I must have misunderstood. You do not need to worry about me bothering you..” he starts to say and walk to the door.

“Wait.” I shout. He stops and turns around.

“You aren’t wrong. I do feel something towards you. It’s just I have had a lot going on lately. Between my mom being abducted. Finding out my dad is a werewolf. Finding out my mom’s a witch. Which basically means I’m this freak of the mix apparently.” I pause and let out a loud and defeated sigh. “It’s just a lot. And now finding out since I’m part werwolf that we have things called mates. I don’t want to mess up anything for whoever is my mate. I’ve never had a boyfriend. Now after learning about mates I don’t think I can until after I’m 18, and can find my mate.” I blurt out. Realizing I sound completely insane, and start to blush again.

We sat there in silence and then he crosses the room to me and caresses the side of my face.

“I’m not sure if I can be only friends with you. But I can wait. I waited a year to speak to you, I can wait a year to be with you.” Wait a year? I just said I want to find my mate? Vampires can’t be your mate.. Can they? I start to feel really tired. “Let’s head back down to everyone. I can tell you’re tired. And we’ll talk again soon.” He said and grabs my hand pulling me to the elevator. Everything was a blur from then until I woke up in my bed. I’m not sure what happened. I look at the alarm clock I got for school, as it lights up so I can see it in the dark. 5am.

5am? Last I knew it was 11pm and we were getting on the elevator. What happened? I start to get up and realized I was still in my clothes from last night. Weird. I stood up and got light headed and started to fall. Someone caught before I hit the floor.

“You need to slow down.” I heard Dimitri’s voice, it seemed a little worried.

“What is going on? What happened? I just remember getting on the elevator with you, and then nothing?” I ask confused.

“I knew you were tired from everything but didn’t realize it was to that point. As soon as the elevator jolted to move, your body went limp. I caught you. I then carried you into the party and everyone started freaking out. The pack doctor checked you out. She said she thought you were just overwhelmed and exhausted from everything you’ve been dealing with the last few weeks. That and the mixture of no longer being under the spells your mother had over you for your entire life. They are also worried that you may be getting some of your powers earlier than anticipated. So they are going to monitor you over the next few days...” he pauses and smiles “I am just glad to see you up. I was worried. I had to fight that Gentri to be the one to carry you.. What is it with him?” He asks a hint of jealousy in his voice.

“Gentri is a friend. That’s it. He’s very protective of me. We have a mutual understanding and mutual respect for each other. He’s become one of my best friends ever since the day we went shopping.” I informed him.

He nods his head in understanding.

“I must go. I just didn’t want to leave you until you regained consciousness. Of course they don’t know I’m here. I ‘left’ with my dad and the guards after I carried you to your bed. Of course I snuck back in.” He smirked. He grabs my hand and kisses it, and then he was gone.

So I passed out? I might be getting WHAT powers earlier? I must be so weak if this is happening to me and not Caitlyn. I’m going to shower and get dressed now. Since I slept in last nights clothes and makeup. I must look like a mess!

As I was showering and relaxing I was interrupted by a voice. A voice I had never heard before. “You are no where near weak.” The voice said in a strong and calming tone.

I jump. Who said that? I looked around and didn’t see anyone. I must be going crazy!

“You are not crazy. My name is Nala, I am your spirit wolf. You are experiencing changes before you should be, like your powers. When your mother put the spell over you, it suppressed 17 years of development. Now with the seal being off, it is all exploding out. I was sent here early by the moon goddess, Selene. She wants me here to help you. We won’t be able to shift still until you are 18. You will also not get a lot of your gifts until you are 18. But I am here as a guide, an extra voice of reason. You don’t know how truly special you are.. You are an important part of the future.” She says proudly.

What? I’m imagining all of this! I need to eat something and get my coffee.

I threw on an oversized black hoodie, with skinny jeans, and my black sneakers. My mind is just racing. I don’t understand anything. Nothing is making sense. I need to calm down. The royal family will be here for dinner. Which I know the entire pack is excited about.

I walk into the kitchen and see Rita who instantly freezes when she sees me. What’s wrong? Am I not supposed to be here?

“Good morning Rita, good morning everyone.” At this point everyone has stopped doing what they were doing. Am I naked? Did I grow a second head? What is going on?? I walk and grab my coffee. Grab a cinnamon muffin and walk out. Everyone still just staring at me. What is going on?

I walk outside and sit down. That was weird. Wasn’t it?

“They are worried about you from last night. Some are anxious about witches. And they also might be able to sense my presence, even if just their wolf does. Which might make them feel intimidated.” She informed me.

What? Intimated by me?
