Broken souls and hidden scars

The past is not buried

Ava's P.O.V

I got home and my dad was sat in the front room, “Ava what's wrong?” he asked, as I run through the front door “dad I think something's wrong with me” I broke down into his arms and cried my heart out “talk to me petal, what's wrong?” I explained everything I had been feeling and everything that had happened. Yet I didn't see concern in his eyes instead I saw happiness, why that emotion? “shall I make your favourite for tea? Let's try and make you feel better” my dad asked, “I do love your minted lamb chops” I said with a small smile. I didn't have to train today my dad decided my body had been through enough for one day. I ate my evening meal and all I wanted was a soak in the bath, I yawned as I started to feel the electricity burning away from the day. He hugged me tightly “go rest petal, have yourself a long soak and an early night” he said to me, I nodded my head and dragged my body up the stairs to my room.

I was truly burnt out, even my door handle felt impossible to open. What is going on right now? I walked into the bathroom and twisted the taps with great difficulty, I pushed the plug into the hole and poured some bubble bath into the tub. I started to undress and I felt out of breath, just taking off my clothes was hard work, the button of my denim shorts was so hard to open. I pulled off my clothes with great difficulty and checked the bath. It was just the right temperature, I dipped my foot into the water and it felt like the water was caressing my feet. I climbed in and felt an overwhelming sensation engulf my body. It felt like someone was stroking every part of my body, I don't know if these are invisible hands but my god did it made me shudder all over in pleasure. It felt wrong yet I couldn't help but stroke my arms, each touch was stimulating another. I pulsated all over and my body felt stiff and rigid for a moment Faiban's face flashed through my eyes and then it was all over.  

I don't know what was in that bubble bath but I'm definitely using that again, well all apart from Faiban's face at the end I don't know what that was about. A smile washed over my face thinking about Cole instead as I dried myself off I chucked on some bed clothes and got under my quilt. My phone beeped and it was Cole, my stomach fluttered just seeing his name across my screen and the intense feeling I got in the bath returned to me but it felt more pure than wrong. “Hey beautiful, are you okay? You seemed distant at school today, I came to talk to you but Lana said you had gone home, how are you feeling now?” he hadn't put any kisses on the text he just got straight to the point. I didn't know how to reply he will think I'm weird if I reply with how he made me feel, I pondered on what to reply back when I got another message off him “ I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable today, but your beauty was radiating off you love Cole xx” I felt a bit better reading that message, knowing his feelings where similar to my own. “ I'v had an odd few days Cole and I feel different and it's confusing me, I avoided you today because you make everything feel intense, and I felt overwhelmed love Ava x” I decided honesty was the best way to go, he replied back in seconds “I know the feeling I get so excited just seeing you smile, I have never felt this way before Love Cole x” okay this is getting is stirring something inside me again “I don't feel well Cole I'm going to get some rest hopefully I will be more myself tomorrow Love Ava x” I replied back feeling like I was pushing him away slightly this was all happening fast and I needed to slow it down. Then there was an instant beep “Sweet dreams beautiful love Cole xxx” was how he replied, I smiled before I drifted into a deep sleep.

There was the young woman again but this time she was sat next to a giant white wolf, she smiled “Hello again Ava this is Sky, my dear friend Isla said she's excited to get to know you too” she said, I felt confused “Maybe this will help” the woman said and there stood Cole his hand extended out to mine “What's happening?” I asked “I have given him to you he's your gift from me, make the most of him” she says with a smile that didn't seem to reach her eyes, then were in the forest alone just me and Cole, I felt my body quivering underneath him, his breath was fanning my neck, he was kissing at it and deep moans where being released from both of us this was extreme.  

A loud high pitched scream! Pulled me from the moaning I was releasing. Beads of sweat ran down my body and I was panting a bit. I forced myself to run towards the sound, A smell invaded my nose burning as it entered it was metallic and spicy, it smelt disgusting, I saw someone with bright red eyes dragging my mom by her hair. What the hell is that? was all I could think, was I still dreaming? my body was trembling with fear, I felt like I was frozen in my spot as much as I wanted to help her my legs were set in concrete. My dad made a loud, ground shaking growl sound, it jolted me out of my fear and I felt a pull towards my mom but before I could move from my spot, my dad jumped off the landing onto the floor, without so much as stumble he managed to grab my mom, he threw her behind him and slashed at the throat of the weird, scary looking man with his bare hands.  

The man tried to dodge my dad, he was fast but not fast enough, my dad tore his throat out and blood seeped from the man's neck. His eyes went from bright red to black and his body went limp, my dad pushed him away from the entrance of our home. He slammed the door shut and checked my mom over, he caressed her cheek and placed his forehead to hers, realising what I had just witnessed, his eyes zoned in on me and he was at my side in seconds. “W-w-what was, who was, that? W-w-what did you d-d-do?” was all I managed to say before darkness took me.

“Ava, Ava” a dull voice called, bright lights where shining into my eyes, I blinked chaotically. When I fully opened my eyes I didn't recognise my surroundings, nor did I recognise the man in front of me fear filled my body but I tried to bury it down. I seemed to be in a doctors room “Where's my mom” I asked the young looking man with grey whiskers through his beard in a groggy panicked voice, “It's okay Ava I'm here” my mom's voice called. I tried to sit up but my head hurt, I gripped the side and a searing pain made my eyes blurry for a moment, my mom clutched my hand and my dad was sat next to me but he was looking down to the floor. “What happened are you okay?” I asked them both, the doctor put his hand on my dad's shoulder “I will leave you too it Adrien” he said in a supportive tone before he left the room.  

“It's time we had the talk” my dad said in a shaky voice, panic filled me once again, the talk what kind of talk did he mean?, what is going on? why am I here? My dad broke me out of my worrying, “The man who broke into our house tonight, he wasn't quite a man” he said in a mumble he was making no sense but then I remembered his eyes and his speed, shivers spread down my spine, thinking back to his revolting smell. “N-n-no his eyes they, they were bright red” I said stuttering, my mom stroked my hand reassuringly “Yes he's a bloodsucker” my dad almost spat, anger lacing his voice “Were not safe at our house now Ava, were staying with Joe and Amy somewhere safe!” he said, I looked at my dad in disbelief what was he talking about? “A what?” I asked more for reassurance that I hadn't heard him wrong, because stuff like that does not exist does it? “A bloodsucker Ava, A dirty vampire! I am not who you think I am either” he said, I looked at my dad concern creeping into my eyes, oh god what's going on? Was all I could think. “Neither am I Ava” my mom said, what the hell do they mean, this is all spiralling now and my head hurt so much.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing, it was all insane every part of it. My dad explained first, he told me he is half Fey and half Lycan his mom was the future Fey Queen who got disowned and exiled by her people after she was mated with the last Lycan from the biggest pack in the country, it was called Black moon pack. They managed to keep there child a secret from the council, not knowing which breed would be more dominant, it was risky but they had to protect him. Well until there was a vampire attack, It was during my dad's crowning ceremony it ended with my dad's fey feeling offended by there audacity. He showed his merciless side by killing off there coven, with both his Fey and Lycan equally as dominant.  

He explained why both could be dangerous together Fey are honest people, that are easily offended, but when threatened or angered can kill unmercifully, that much so that they have been known to kill there own people even family, his grandfather was one of the worst for it, they have several powers plus they are faster than bloodsuckers. Where as Lycan's are a lot like werewolf's although they too rely on instinct, they have some control over there inner Lycan/wolf, they're packs and mates mean everything to them, with both present it meant that he was immortal. They were worried that my dad would be a killing hybrid that couldn't control who he killed if provoked. Which was evidentially not the case at all, family meant everything to my dad, I knew that deep in my heart he would die for us.

My mom then explained that she is an oracle, she had been called in with the other supernatural council members. They needed to determine if my dad was a threat to others and decide what to do with him if he was. My mom apparently knew the outcome because oracles can see into the future, she saw my dad coming before she met him that day. She told me how she already felt love for him too, she knew she was mated to him which again wasn't something that usually happened, oracles tend to live there long life alone. She explained to the council all that she had saw, and what lay deep in the heart of my dad.  

The council where worried that my mom's judgement was clouded because of her feelings towards my dad. They came to the decision to live a normal life, the council where happy as long as they kept there powers from everyone. My mom knew she would quickly become pregnant with me, they made the decision to keep their supernatural lineage a secret from me until my eighteenth birthday, which was two weeks away. This is apparently when a Lycan or Fey becomes more apparent in supernatural beings, unlike werewolves who shift on there sixteenth birthday. I had been brought up as a human, and didn't know what would happen within my body, that's why they kept it from me. Apparently I can't be an oracle as my mom is still alive, It was a lot to digest but things where finally starting to make sense, I felt scared and safe all at the same time.

We are now staying at my dad's old pack his 'friend' Joe who is also my headteacher at the supernatural school I was attending is a werewolf. He accepted to take over the pack after my dad. He was a part of a different pack back then, that had recently crowned his older brother Alpha, his  Luna was pregnant with there first child, so he knew he wouldn't became there Alpha. They had been best friends all through school so my dad saw no one better for the role, he trusted Joe with his life and his secret. He told me about the different factions that go to our school and I was shocked by it because they all seemed so normal to me, well except for Faiban, he had a dark aura so he must be a demon but I felt like there was more to him. Wait what about Cole and Lana? I wonder what they are? I was going to ask but I don't think I'm ready to know that yet.

My mom and Joe's beta 'which is an Alpha's second in command' Eric walked us to our new living arrangements, whilst my dad and Joe discussed the bloodsucker attack. For some reason the vampires have managed to block their plans from my mom. They said something about a powerful witch may be behind it, Witches and vampires they don't go to our school all of this was insane, I felt like I was in a weird dream that I couldn't wake up from.

We reached the house, or 'pack house as they call it' in no time. It was like an old mansion from outside, with its huge grey bolder like bricks that had moss frosting its surface. Yet inside was so new and fresh. The downstairs was open plan, white and grey marble floor through out, with giant white pillars that swirled holding the ceiling up with no walls through out. The living room was huge, decorated in warm golds, browns and greens. There were four sizeable dark mahogany sofa's inside there, a wonderful fireplace that stretched across the wall and a fair sized television hung on the wall. The kitchen was spacious,the cupboards were dark oak with big brass handles, bronze chrome coated the taps, sink and stove. The dining room was bigger than the living room, it almost looked like a restaurant, coated in a light sage with cream leather seats through. I couldn't see the back garden due to the time of night it was, but I imagine it will be as spectacular as the rest of the mansion.  

My mom walked me to my new room, she opened the door and I walked inside it was bigger than my old room, I walked towards my king size four poster bed running my fingers down the frame. I noticed a wall of mirrors that looked like sliding doors, I slide them across to reveal a walk in closet, I walked through the door, noticing that there was loads of room for all my clothes three times over. Sat in the corner was a stunning oak dressing table, fully stocked with new make up, hair brushes and moisturiser. I notice another room to the right inside of my walk in closet. I still had an en suite bathroom, this one was as big as my bedroom at our old house with a huge jacuzzi and walk in shower I couldn't contain my excitement of how amazing my new room was, my face must be expressing those feelings right now. My mom smiled “I knew you would like it” she said with a smile, I laughed at that “Mother or oracle's intuition” I said with a smirk on my face, she looked back at me bumping her shoulder into mine “Both!” she said laughing again, she looked down to the floor and I saw the seriousness that now took over her face, “I'm so sorry about lying to you sweetheart, your dad was against it because of his Fey gene but I knew it would put you in more danger, even though there will be many that want to protect and befriend you there are many dangers out there that you are yet to face” she looked so upset and I couldn't be angry at her “Mom it's okay at least now I know why dad's been throwing knives at me since I was five” we both shared a giggle and things felt as normal as it was going to get, my phone suddenly began to ring and it was Cole.
