CHAPTER 11
HERRON’S P. O. V
I feel like I am forgetting something, and it's not the fact that am not in my bed and a strange room, nope you just don't forget that kinda thing. I have been lying here for the last thirty minutes trying to remember what it might be but it just isn't coming to me. After a few more minutes I gave up and decided to wake up.
I might as well start the day so I can just go home tomorrow. Why did I agree to this bet? And why instead of feeling angry and irritated I just feel like this is where I should be, I feel like I am home. What's wrong with me? I shook my head, vigorously trying to get these weird thoughts and feelings out.
After my morning routine, I got out of the room in an attempt to find the kitchen, but somehow, I got lost and found myself in the back yard. There was a pool and what looked like a jacuzzi. The lawns here were very well kept too and, the forest was just a mere meter away.
My hunger was forgotten; I start to walk around. But a few minutes later I felt like someone was watching me. At first, I just ignored the feelings, passed them off as my imagination and continued walking around.
Just as I was at the edges of the forest, the feeling got more intense, I tried to look around, trying to find the source of the feeling but couldn't see anything. As I turned to walk towards the house, the feeling turned to dread, sinister even. Whoever was watching me or whatever it was, wasn't good at all.
I hastened my steps and made sure to close the door locking it with the keys that I used to open earlier. I could still feel the eyes on me and tried to close the windows, in my hastiness I dropped a vase. I didn't pick the pieces up; I just rushed back to the corridor and luckily found the kitchen.
By the time Lorenzo and Dumont found me I was well relaxed and drinking orange juice while sitting on the counter. I would have cooked something but I didn't wanna burn the whole house down, seeing as I can't even boil water without forgetting about it.
"Morning Herron” they both said. And I swear they were looking at me weirdly like they knew something.
"G'morning guys “I answered, trying not to seem relieved that am finally not alone.
“We have some research to do, and you can join us to the library or just stay behind, “Dumont said still having the look in his eyes like he was expecting something from me or he knew something. I just brushed that thought away and with a nod, let them know I will join them.
After that we just sat there while Lorenzo made pancakes, Dumont made waffles and I sipping my juice amidst random conversation. I almost mentioned about what happened earlier a few times but decided against it. An hour later we were all huddled in Lorenzo's red Audi, headed to the library.
During our conversation in the kitchen earlier, something came to my mind and I instantly remembered about a woman that visited me the night before and everything that she said, and decided that I would do my own research too and see if I can learn a few things about mates, guardians and furies.
Once in the library, I left the two guys talking to the librarian while I walked off on my own, I didn't want them or anyone knowing what I was looking for. A good fifteen minutes later, I had a book about mates and guardians, I just had to find one on furies and am set.
I found a book called ' Furies and Evil forces’ but just as I reached for it, I realized that Lorenzo was reaching for it too. Our fingers brushed and I swear I felt sparks where we touched. It felt so good. I pulled my hand real fast, trying to see if Lorenzo felt it too but if he did, he wasn't giving anything away.
“Since we are all looking for the same book, why don't we share and go through it together?”
I was about to refuse but something made me nod my head. I think it's curiosity, I wanted to know why they wanted that book.
It is Saturday morning, there were very few people in the library so we found a nice table away from everyone and settled in. That's when I realized they also had a book on Guardians. As I was opening my mouth to ask, Dumont beat me to it.
"Herron, we have something to tell you, hell a lot of things, but before we do please promise that you will listen to us and not freak out, please. “His eyes were pleading and so was Lorenzo's and I couldn't say no to that. Like I said I was also curious.
“OK, I promise. “
And so, we spent the whole morning talking, they told me everything from when they met, told me about mates and that includes the fact that we were all three mates, then went ahead to tell me about their many lifetimes and I told them that I had lived many lifetimes too, though I couldn't remember much about them. Lorenzo told me it's because I was human in this life and that's why I didn't remember about the past. As we talked, we also covered what happened last night and to help us understand better we started reading about the furies and the Guardians.
I didn't freak out, I don't know exactly why but I didn't dwell much on it, there was no time. Especially after knowing that the blood moon is in two weeks, that means we have to complete the mate bond, that thought had me kinda blushing.
It was around three in the afternoon when we decided to head out and find something to eat. But as soon as I stepped out, the feeling of someone watching me returned, I didn't have to say anything as I realized we all felt it.
"W... What's that? “I asked hoping my mates would ease my worries, ease the gut feeling of something bad.
“Nothing Good. "
“HURRY!! "
