The Fate of the Unknown

Chapter 19: Unknown territory

As I sit here staring out the window, my mind won’t stop racing. Normally I would be calm and relaxed.. However, I just can’t. This is all just too much.

Mom is missing.

Mom is a witch?

Dad is a werewolf, and an important one?

So Caitlyn and I are some weird mixture of witch and werewolf? I thought I was just this normal, average girl. I was ok with that. I was ok being a normal no one. I need to ask them more about why he was called Alpha. It sounds like an important job, and Isabella is someone called a Luna? Are there more packs? Is this the only one? He did say there was a king of werewolves, so there has to be more than one pack I’d assume there are more packs.

They look like humans but also are werewolves. So how many people have I met that could be werewolves? Or even witches? Wait. Did he say something about vampires??

“Hey. It hasn’t been 30 minutes but I just need to talk now. Are you ok?” Caitlyn asked as she sat down by my feet on the window seat.

“Lex?” She started to shake my leg.

I jump startling her.

“I’m so sorry!! I was lost in my thoughts. This is just so much information. It can’t be real. I have so many questions..” I trail off, lost in thought.

“Me too. Maybe we can ask Isabella when she gets us… I like her. When we find mom, I hope we can keep in contact with them. I also feel mom would like her. Is that weird?” Caitlyn asked.

“I’m not sure. But I like her too. And our dad seems nice too. I was worried about meeting him, but he literally looks like the male version of you. It’s weird.” I started laughing.

She looks at me weird, and then starts laughing too. Soon we are both crying. The tears started from laughing too hard, to being overwhelmed and missing our mom.

Caitlyn pulls me into a hug, “we will find her. And we will figure this all out. It will work out. It has to. You know I believe everything happens for a reason. We finally got to meet our dad. We are learning about who we are, right before I turn 18. Which is crucial with us being part werewolves? Ok that’s weird to say.” She said and laughed.

“It definitely feels weird to even think about. We can turn into wolves? And we have magic? Wouldn’t we know if we had powers by now? Even if mom put a spell to make it so we didn’t? Wouldn’t we have some kind of powers?” I asked and try to think.

She sat there for a second, looked out the window and then looked back at me. “Well actually. You have always said both mom and I can read your mind and help you relax. Maybe that’s part of my powers? And you have those dreams? Maybe that’s yours?” She suggested.

Huh. She could be right. I mean that could make sense.

“See. Now the wolf mate thing scares me. I want to research that more. The moon goddess just decides who we need to be with? We don’t get a choice in who we love? What if the person is a jerk? What if they are mean or have ill intentions? And they have a smell? Like cologne? Do you notice everyone’s smell? Or just your mates? What happens to your clothes when you turn into a wolf? I’m so scared it’s going to hurt!” She starts crying again.

I grab her hands, “let’s Google some stuff, and we can ask Isabella more questions too. They did say it hurts the first few times, but after it doesn’t. So I feel they would definitely know. The mate stuff is weird to me too. I’ve actually noticed smells on a few people, I just assumed it was cologne or something. But I doubt the moon goddess, would pair someone as amazing as you, with someone horrible or evil. You will get someone who has a heart of gold, and loves you. I don’t know anything about out her, but I doubt she would do harm to anyone. We should research her too.” I said and Caitlyn nodded, tears in her eyes.

I realize we both lost our phones in the crash. Crap. “Welp, we can’t research anything right now. I forgot we lost our phones in the crash… Maybe we can ask if they have a library or something where we can search stuff?” I ask.

“What time is it?” She asks me.

I got up and walked over to the dresser which had a small alarm clock on it. “5:45pm” I reply.

“Dang. Ok. Well we should get cleaned up and use the bathroom before Isabella gets here.” She suggests.

I nod. She is right. We brushed our teeth, fixed our hair. She brushed hers into a high ponytail, I threw mine up in a bun. We were going to change until we remembered we didn’t bring our clothes up. We both used the bathroom and then heard knocking on her door. We both yelled “come in” at the same time and started laughing.

“Hi sweethearts, I wasn’t sure if you’d change or not before we went down to eat?” She asked. Probably since we had dirt and blood on us.

“We don’t have our stuff.” I replied.

“Oh shoot, hold on.” She said. But never moved. Then there was a knock and two girls came in with our stuff. They sat them down and left quickly. Weird.

“Thank you.. How did you do that?” I asked.

“Oh. I mind-linked them.. Once you guys are changed I can explain that and many more things you don’t know about. Ok? I’ll just be in the hall when you’re done.” She said as she walked back out into the hallway.

I bring my stuff into my room. Grab a green hoodie and black leggings, throw on my green combat boots and lace them up. Caitlyn had thrown on a pink hoodie with black leggings and slippers. She couldn’t put real shoes on her foot that was wrapped. We both look at ourselves one last time, before leaving the bathroom.

We both look the same, but different.

Although Caitlyn has a cut and scratches, it didn’t take away from her beauty. The bags under my eyes are distracting along with my huge gash.. We look rough at first glance. Hopefully dinner will go smoothly. I don’t even understand, does everyone eat together like at school? I really hope everyone is nice.

“Lex, stop over thinking it. Let’s go. I hope to get some information out of Isabella, and I’m starving!” She said as she pushed me towards the door.

She was right. Let’s go.
