Desired Blood Princess

Interrupted and wanting answers

Jades POV

The sound of the school bell jolts me out of my seat. It was a long school day, and I needed to get on that track and run out some energy. I grabbed my chemistry book from my locker and headed out towards the field. As I got closer, I saw a small crowd of boys grouped around the fence. At the back of them, on the other side of the fence, is a group of cheerleaders staring hard. I just saw one b***h pull her shirt off and fix her sports bra so her boobs are on full display, what sk**ks. Whatever, I thought I just want to run out this energy. Before I cross the opening in the fence, I hear my name,

“Jade, wait up?”. I turned and saw the face of my brother James. Of course it was him that everyone was gawking at, even Ms. Simpson was staring at James.

“James, what are you doing here?” I asked. “We have got a new client that lives right down the street from here, so I thought I would pick you up,” he said. “Ok, you're a bit early, practice is just starting”, I told him. “I can wait and watch you practice, it's been awhile since I saw you run the track”, James said.

At this point, I notice everyone watching our interaction and I don't want to leave James alone with the hordes of skanks on the prowl. I turned to James and said,

“Come sit over her on the bench next to the field, less traffic over here.” I led James to the bench and I put my bag down.

Unzipping my bag to grab my Nikes, I saw James' body tense. His face is stern and I can see that line in between his eyes define. I look in the direction he is intently staring at and see Devin, Ley, and Kyle running onto the field. I hear a growl come from James, he is staring at Devin. Oh sh*t, James knows that Devin is a wolf and he doesn’t look too happy. I stood next to James and said

“That’s the new boy Devin, he just transferred here today. I saw him at lunch and recognized that he was a wolf.”

James quickly gets up, grabs my bag and my arm and we start walking off the field.

“James, I have practice. WTF?” I said, ripping my arm out of his grasp.

James looks me dead in the eyes and says “We need to go home now.”

He has the don’t f**k with me right now look. James never talks to me like that, he is the patient one out of everyone. For him to be this serious is almost scary, so I obeyed.

As soon as we are in the car, James starts the engine and takes off.

“WTF James? What was that all about?” I practically screamed at him.

I see that James is calming down as we get further from school.

“Jade, that boy Devin, did he ever talk to you?” he asked.

Of course he wasn’t going to answer my question, I thought. “Yes”, I replied. “He came up to me and my friends at lunch and introduced himself.” I replied. “He seemed OK,” I added”. James nods his head and says “Let's go home and talk to dad”.

As soon as we pull into the driveway, I see James' eye’s cloud over, he is probably linking my dad that we are home. All I know is that I had better get some answers because this secret s**t is pissing me off. James and I walked into the front door and I heard my father call from his office.

“Jade, come to my office”.

I have to admit I am beyond frustrated and am in need of answers. I walked with purpose to my father's office and peer inside. He is sitting at his wooden desk, leaning back in his chair, his face looks serious. It makes me wonder when was the last time I saw him smile. I couldn't recall.

As I entered and sat down, I said to him

“Dad, what's going on? James pulled me from practice because the new boy is a wolf?”.

My dad looked at me and I saw a hint of sadness on his face?

“Jade, it's time that I tell you about the changes that will come when you make 18 years old and gain your wolf”.

He moves off his chair and walks around his desk and leans on the corner in front of where I am sitting. He grabs my hand and I look into his face and I see an expression that I have never seen before, worry rises in my chest. This man is the strongest person I know. For him to be soft like this is rare.

“Princess, I know that your brothers and I are a lot to handle, and maybe you have noticed all of us being overly protected recently,” he said.

I nodded my head hoping that he would continue.

“Before you were born, there was a prophecy that said, Many people will seek out the life force of the chosen one. The chosen will have control of the Original powers of the Moon Goddess. They can control elements and the life force within others. Being able to control wars, conflicts, or create chaos.They will also have the gift of premonitions and will grow into their power after they acquire their wolf.” My dad stops and looks at me, he is still holding my hand.

Does my dad believe that I'm the chosen one? Control elements and have premonitions? This can’t be me.

“Dad, you don’t think that I'm the chosen one? Nothing like that has ever happened to me”, I said.

Again, my dad gives me a look and says,

“I know you are the chosen one, and there are those who wish to control you. Once you are 18, the protection spell that was cast over you as a baby will no longer be strong enough to contain your power. The power you radiate will be a beacon for other supernaturals”, my dad says. WTF?
