"Um, so where are you taking us Alpha?" I try to ask for the third time. He just drags me to a weird looking gadget. He opens a door and stands at the side, indicating I should enter.
I raise an eyebrow at him questionbly and take a step back. He looks almost confused before he realised something.
"This is a vehicle, you have to sit in here and then I'll drive us home." he explains softly. I look at Amara who is being put in another vehicle.
"We are not going to travel in separate vehicles, I hope that's okay, sir" I say trying to act respectable to him, even though I feel like I can be free with him
"First of all call me Nate, not alpha, or sir or male" he says to me almost annoyed, but I don't really care. I just want to be with Amara. "Secondly yes I believe you can." He closes the door and makes his way to the bigger vehicle Amara was being led to. I look at Amara and try to mind contact her; which is when your spirits move to talk to each other.
'Calista? I don't know about this, don't you think now is the time?'
' No not yet we need to see there courters, that way we can understand which place on Earth we are on right now. besides he said he wouldn't eat us so I believe him.'
'Don't let your heart fool you, sometimes I wonder who really is the daughter of love.'
'Athena, stop acting like you're immune I saw you looking at him all lovingly. We will get home soon. If not we will survive, okay?'
' okay'
I look forward and see the males staring at us, I walk forward and sit in the back seat with Amara. The males in the front.
I look at the back of Nate's head, glaring holes in the back of his head trying to understand his motives, then something flashes in front of me
' I see green eyes, young innocent eyes, staring at me. There is blood on the boy child and he reaches to try and hold a girl who is torn apart, but it seems he is paralysed. He starts crying
" Lucy, Lucy!!! Lucy!!!!!"'
Then it's gone. I can't help but gasp. I vision but who was that boy, Nate?
I look back up and see Nate, Xavier staring at me worried. I look at Amara who isn't worried just curious. She knows that since I'm royal blood, sometimes I can feel my people's feelings.
"Are you okay?" Nate asks
"Yes, Nate can you stare in my eyes? " I ask. I'll know if it's him once he looks me in the eyes.
"Yeah, sure?" he responds uncertain.
I smile at him and he smiles back. He stares at me eyes and the boy's face flashes again. I gasp and can't help but feel my heart rip apart. I can't believe he went through that. Almost makes me not want to escape, well only almost.
"Nefeli, Baby what's wrong?" he asks softly. I look at him in confusion. He goes to school he can't be so old that I'm a child to him, right?
"Nate, how old are you?" I ask before I can stop myself.
"Eighteen?" he says, sounding worried and confused I just asked. I turn to look at Xavier.
" What about you?" I ask him. Nate growls as I swallow a smirk. He's jealous, aw!
" Well I'm also eighteen, Luna" he says
" My name is Nefeli, not Luna" I say matter-of-factly. He just smirks and looks at Amara.
" Well, you called me a baby so I was wondering how old you are." I say to Nate, who just shrugs at me
" How old are you, Nefeli? " he asks
" Guess! " I shout. He looks taken aback.
" Well let me see... Eighteen? " he asks
" Well that's correct, how'd you know? " I ask. He smirks, then says ," Lucky guess"
" What about you?" I turn seeing Xavier ask Amara.
" Umm, I'm sixteen" she says softly then stares out the window blushing.
I also look out the window. I want to ask him about the vision of his past, but it might be a sensitive subject. I really want to know though. I guess I should create trust. 'Just so you can break it? That is not only mean but it's not you.' I hear someone else say in my head. 'Who is that? Calista?'
She is not answering. Then who was that? and where is Calista? I try to feel her but it's like she is gone.
'She will be back, I just took over for a bit'
the voice says again
'But who are you?'I ask again
'Someone important, but listen to me. Keep him safe, he needs you and you need him. I never make a mistake.' she says and the power of her voice causes me to shiver.
'okay but can I go home after?' I ask
'do you think you will go home? 'she asks me
I want to, but I only feel complete on Earth. Plus the machine is pretty much destroyed from what I saw. I don't need to go back. I'll ask Amara, she will be the deciding factor.
'Amara, would you like to stay here?' I ask her
'I do,I feel a connection to Xavier, but do you want to?I mean you're the princess, can you afford to stay here?' she asks me. So she wants to, I need to but staying here means leaving my people. I guess our life starting now, till we have the opportunity to leave is what we will use to decide.
'I guess I need to. We will decide later if we must stay longer or if we must leave.' I tell her and she nods.
We reach a big house which was built in the forest. It has to be at least 3 storeys high and I can't even estimate the width or length. I open the car door- after much struggle- and stumble out and stare wide eyed at the establishment. I see a male and female walk out embrassing each other lovingly. 'That will you and Nate soon...' What? Seriously mysterious voice, I need names, details, like just give me something.
They approach us with caution like we are crazed beasts. Amara and I walk forward and bow in respect, because they look like Nate, power radiates of them and they are older than me. I rise and they look pleased at us. I offer a smile. The woman smiles back warmly and the man nods in approval.
"Hello, I'm Nefeli daughter of goddess Athena, and this is my friend, Amara, daughter of goddess Aphrodite." I say formally, the woman gasps and smiles.
"Welcome, I'm former alpha of Blue Crescent pack, Nickolas, and this my wife and former Luna, Christine." he says with a formal voice too. Nate steps forward and his eyes gloss over and so does his parents. After a while, his parents eyes turn to Amara and I and they smile at us lovingly. Almost as if we are long lost family. The woman approaches us and hugs us both in a bone crushing hug, shocking us with her strength. The man approaches us and hugs us to softly though, like a teddy bear, lifting us of the ground.
" Welcome home, get comfortable!" he says in a cool person voice making Amara and I giggle. As we walk in I see the homey color scheme and furniture. I can sense more hearts in the house, maybe it's a dorm? of a pack house.
"This is our pack house, the rooms are up stairs, living area, movie room, kitchen and library are down here." he says proudly and honestly, I would be proud too. Keeping this big house clean and safe must require alot if effort. I'm about to say something when I feel danger, it pangs at my heart and mind, sending me into warrior mode. Amara and I snap our heads to the left, and the purgent smell gets stronger, I close me eyes and I see an arrow heading for the window, aimed at the Nickolas. I jump in front of him and catch the arrow, it's dipped in silver, ' a death shot, aimed at his heart. somebody's going to die' I hear Calista growl in my head, ' Calista finally!' I say in relief. I see Amara do the same with the Christine. 'wait? how did she move so fast, only warriors can, servers are more graceful and slow. I'll ask her later.'
I turn in the direction of the arrow and look in the Intruders eyes, feeling mine change.
I head towards the window, the foreign body frozen in it's crouched position. I used my eyes to induce fear so great it can make anyone see their death and become paralysed. I reach for him and grab him through the now broken window, cutting his arms against the shards of glass in the process. I hear him grunt in pain, ' He is trying to be tough, I give him a second with Amara' Calista says laughing in my head, I can't help but c***k a smirk. He is dressed a spy, more like a weak, scared, thief. 'what a waste of skill.' I hear Calista say savagely. I hear the Alpha shouting for defence. Amara approaches us and I hold him in a kneeling position for her to read his mind and see his master. 'This will be fun...'
