A Twist Of Fae.

Chapter Eight: Numb&Dumb

I sat in the car while he was outside in the yard. He had some of his clan come to investigate inside as he didn't want me to go any further inside, to see if they could catch a scent of them. I was already feeling numb.

Two males showed up as they looked at me exiting their car, then moved over to speak to Marcus. While they spoke, I took out my phone and began texting my brother.

"Please tell me you'r okay and this was not your idea. Coming to the house to see if you're there and seeing it for sale..My heart is heavy and I need to know if your okay..Was this father's idea of moving? Was it both of their's..Please text me back."

I pushed send before putting my phone back inside my bag as I got out of the car and walking over to them.

"Can you track their scent?" I asked, walking over to them as Marcus looked down at me with sympathy.

The guy with the long dark blonde hair spoke first as he placed his hand on my shoulder.

"I'm about to go inside and check. I'll try my best. I promise." He smiled, walking off and inside the house, leaving the three of us there.

"Nathaniel is our best tracker. He is Emily's mate." Marcus told me, reassuring me.

"He definitely is the best tracker I've known and that is saying something about my age." The other male joked before stretching out his hand. "We haven't had the chance to meet, I'm James. Marcus's best friend and the hottest Gay in town." He winked at me.

I gave a small smile. "It's nice to meet you James, I'm Mirabela..But I'm sure you know that.." I mumbled out.

He was gonna speak but the door to the front of the house opened as Nathaniel came out with two bags. They were my bags that I left. I ran over to him as he set the bags down. I kneeled down and opened the bags. My clothes were inside both. I was confused. Why would they pack my clothes but not drop it off to me before leaving?

"How strange," James said, kneeling down as he helped me go through the bags to make sure nothing was inside them.

"I can smell the Fae all over the house but there is a scent I didn't recognize. It's strong and not human.." Nathaniel said to Marcus, who looked worried and confused at the same time.

"Why would they go through all this trouble to pack her clothes and leave it behind? Moving away is one thing but this. You have to agree this is weird Marcus." James moved and stood up as they talked.

I zoned them out as I was so confused. I kept looking through the clothes before I felt something on the bottom that was not clothes. I pulled everything out and on the ground, not caring, I grabbed the paper. My heart was racing as I stood up. The guys looked at me and moved towards me, joining me as I opened the piece of paper.

The piece of paper had only two things written on it.

"Stay Away."

I started to panic as I stared at the letter. My heart was racing. My mind was going crazy trying to figure out what exactly was going on. Before I knew it, my vision was getting fuzzy. Like, I couldn't stand anymore, I heard my name being called loudly before darkness consumed me.

--------------------------------------------------------

When I woke, I was lying in a weird looking bed. alerted I tried jumping up but a voice calmed me down as I turned to look at Marcus, who looked worried.

"What happen. Where are we?" I asked with panic in my voice.

"You fainted, I took you back to my home to get you checked. You over worked yourself." He replied, rubbing his thumb on my cheek.

A woman came over smiling at me as she placed her hand on my head before speaking to me.

"Have you ever fainted before, Mirabela?" She asked casually while writing things down on her notepad.

I shook my head to her question, before her hand came and checked my pulse on my wrist.

"I'm Carley, I'm in the medical field, but I am also the pack healer." She told me, easing my worry.

I nodded my head again before looking at Marcus. "Have you found anything out? Are they okay?"

He rubbed my hand, shaking his head.

"Nathaniel and Jason are still looking into it, seeing if we can get anything off that letter. Don't worry about that. Why didn't you tell me you had panic attacks?"

I blinked, shocked. He knew such things as I looked at the woman and finally I realized she was holding my hospital chart. I huffed, annoyed. "Is that even legal..and I had them when I was younger. I haven't had one in awhile, nor have I had one. She said I fainted."

He sighed as he nodded, seeing me getting frustrated. "She works at the hospital. She remembered your last name because you have a file there.. Don't worry, she didn't speak about what was in it other than the panic attacks, I promise."

Carley gave me a wink as she handed me some water.

"You're my patient, I shall not spill the beans."

I gave a little smile towards her comment as I laid my head back down feeling a little dizzy again.

"I ruined our date.." I pouted, staring at him.

He chuckles, shaking his head.

"You didn't. After she is done, I'm turning our room into a fancy movie theatre."

Carley chuckled, shaking her head as she slid away to put something on her computer, leaving me with him. He stood up and easily scooped me up into his arms. My eyes widened as I wrapped my arms around his neck, staring deeply into his eyes, my cheeks flushed.

"Shall we go, my Queen?" he gave a smirk, walking out of the medic's office and up the stairs to our room.

I giggled as we entered the room. He shut the door with his foot before placing me on the bed. He must have had this planned as a screen was set up and snacks were on a cart near the bed. I smiled thinking how cute this was!

"This is so cute Marcus."

He chuckles with a smile, turning on the screen and turning off the lights, before joining me in bed. We laid there next to one another leaning our backs against the pillows. He handed me some water and some popcorn. I took it and slid some in my mouth, smiling at the buttery flavor.

"I say, we watch a comedy." He offered with a smile.

"I agrre. Then after, a horror movie. As I love a good horror film." I smiled, turning to look at him as he looked shocked but chuckled, nodding his head. He played the movie as we sat in silence.

Occasionally, I popped some popcorn into my mouth while the movie played. My eyes went to him as he was into the movie, but I let my eyes wonder around his facial features and also his toned muscles to the tattoos along his arms. He seemed to notice me staring because he turned to look at me with a smirk on his lips.

"Staring at me rather than watching the movie?"

"S..Sorry." I said, embarrassed, looking back at the screen.

He gave a chuckle before moving in front of me, blocking my view of the movie. He leaned in as his lips met mine. I felt butterflies in my tummy again as he slowly made me lay back as he was on top of me. His lips moved from my lips to my neck as the sensation sent shivers down my back. My eyes were closed the whole time, enjoying the feeling. I could feel his lips sucking on my neck to make marks as he was claiming me by doing this. I let out a little noise that made her groan in delight. Before he could move lower to my breast, there was a knock on our door making us both freeze. He growled, pulling away from me and sitting on the bed.

"What!" He barked out, clearly annoyed.

I gave a giggle as I slowly sat up, fixing myself before holding his hand to calm him down from killing whoever was at the door wanting our attention.

Though I was shocked, I mean.. It's been a couple days I have been here. Yes, but we almost got serious and that excited me but made me nervous.

"Sorry to bother you, We have a witness who said they saw something," Nathaniel said before entering the room as he rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

"A witness?" I whispered, shocked, but should I be? I mean, we have neighbors but they don't seem to care for us.

He nodded as James followed inside as well, dragging a boy inside our room who looked terrified and confused as to what was happening.

"He is the boy across the street." I said, standing up and looking at him. He spotted me and looked scared.

"Tell them what you told us." James said, looking at the boy with a smile, as if he didn't want to scare him.

The boy nodded slowly.

"I saw what happened.. I was walking home from school, When I turned the corner to our street there was a van..Black van. Even the windows were tinted black. Three men were carrying out your mother and father. They seemed to be unconscious.. Your brother not so much as he put up a fight till he was hit in the head. After that, they were all dragged away. I didn't see them again...But then a large truck company came two days later and started taking everything from the home..Same guys as I saw take them away.." He said nervously.

My heart dropped in my stomach staring at him as I was taking in everything he said.

"They were kidnapped.."
