beautifully broken

Adria

Skye's P.O.V.

After that amazing but awkward dinner, I went back to my room and straight to the closet, to change into something comfy, I settled on shorts and a huge t-shirt. I zombie walked to the bathroom to finish getting ready for bed. I brushed my teeth and hair, washed my face and went to the bathroom. Finally, I was ready for my food coma. I dont even think my head hit the pillow and I was asleep.

My dream

I'm walking in a forest. Wait a second, I know this forest, this is home. I take off running faster than I ever have before, dodging downed trees and low hanging branches. My favorite place as a kid hell my favorite place ever. The water falls on the east border. As soon as I arrive, I go to the water edge when I look in the water im shocked to see a wolf staring back at me. She is the most beautiful wolf I've ever seen. The first thing I noticed was her bright purple eyes. They looked like purple amethyst in the sun. Her coat was so pure white it was blinding. Even after running through the forest, no dirt or leaves had gotten attached. She was immaculate.

" Thank you. I appreciate the kind words."

I spun around fast to see who was answering my thoughts, but no one was there. Great, even in my dreams I'm going crazy.

" You're not going crazy. I'm here. I've always been here."

"Who is that come out so I can see you?"

" Let's start this over. Hello, my name is Adria, and I am your wolf"

right away I am overcome with questions, and had no idea where to start.

" You can ask anything you want. If I have the answer, it will be yours"

"Where have you been ? How come you didnt emerge on my birthday? Why haven't I been able to talk to you ? Can you help me get out of here?"

"Whoa slow down one at a time, I have been here dormant waiting for you to break through the wall you have created. I tried to come out on your birthday but the barricades you have put up are strong. You have completely blocked out everyone. Your parents have been trying to contact you since that night, but even with my help they couldn't get through and I couldn't get out. As far as escaping, we need a plan other than just wolfing out and running. There is a lot of magic at play and I believe Daryk was telling the truth when he said someone from your life would die every fifteen minutes you are away from here. We have to kill him first."

"Will I be able to talk to you when I wake up or is this it only in my dreams until the walls I have built are knocked down?"

"I'm not sure I have been trying to get through every night when you sleep. This is the first time it has worked. Hopefully, now that we have this connection and are aware of each other, maybe we can still speak when you wake up."

"I haven't slept very well, so if this is all the time we get, would you like to run and stretch your legs?"

"I would love to"

We spent the next couple of hours running, jumping, hunting, swimming. I had never felt stronger and I knew Adria was feeling the same way.

"Skye, you're about to wake up try conncentrating on me when you do, if we can not communicate with others, maybe we can still communicate with each other. Stay hopeful sweet girl, we will make it out of here, I promise you."

I'm not sure what made me wake up, but some sweet tea sounds amazing. I slung my legs out of bed feeling strong and energized.

"Adria, Are you still there?"

My dream felt so real. Maybe I just wanted a wolf so badly I imagined it.

"Adria?"

Ugh I'm so frustrated dont wolves loose their mind if they never get there wolf its like missing half of yourself maybe my mind is starting to fail "moon goodess help me "

I'm not sure if it's the after effects of such a strange dream, but I really do feel stronger than ever, and thirsty like I just ran a marthon.

I wish all the floors were heated here and not just the bathroom. Thankfully, I have slippers. I need a mini fridge in here, so I don't have to go downstairs every time I need a drink in the night. I really don't want to run into Daryk. I creeped over to the door and poked my head out. It didn't seem like anyone was up or even here its creepy how quite this house is. I made it all the way to the kitchen without running into anyone. I walked over to the fridge, and as I was grabbing a pitcher of sweet tea, I said

"skye 1 creepy house 0"

"What is so creepy about the house ?"

I turned around and threw the entire pitcher in the direction the voice came from screaming. I turned on the light to see a soaking wet K.C. sitting at the breakfast bar. I grabbed a towel and rushed over to him.

"I am so sorry I kinda scared myself before coming down here. I thought I was alone. You startled me."

"Your fine luna, it's OK I got it. I should have spoken up when you came into the kitchen." He grabbed the towel without touching my hand and began to clean up the mess.

"What are you doing in the dark?"

"I was sleeping and wanted a sandwich, but I wanted to be able to go right back to sleep, so I avoided the light hoping I wouldn't wake up all the way and could go back to sleep when I returned to my room"

"And now you are covered in ice-cold sweet tea. I am so sorry honestly, if I knew it was you I wouldn't have thrown it. I was just startled that's still no excuse. Would you like a new sandwich? I could make you a replacement while you change out of your tea clothes. "

" It's OK, Luna, I can change and make me another grab your drink you can return to bed "

"Nonsense, I ruined it. I'll fix it, go change and when you get back it will be ready. "

"Thank you Luna "

As he left the kitchen, I turned to the fridge again. Now that the kitchen was illuminated by light, it was a cute kitchen. I couldn't wait to get to cook. My only downfall is the first thing I got to make was a damn sandwich. Oh well, I ruined it. The kind thing to do is replace it and K.C. has been kind to me. I pulled out bacon, ham, turkey, pepper jack and American cheese, lettuce, tomato and ranch. I started the strips of bacon first. Then I sliced four slices of bread off the home-made loaf. I wanted one to the smell of the bacon woke my stomach up. While the bacon was cooking, I sliced the lettuce and tomatoes. After the bacon finished and I pulled it from the pan, and toasted our bread, I added the meat, cheese, veggies, and ranch. As soon as I started walking the sandwiches to the breakfast bar, K.C. was coming back into the kitchen freshly showered and smelling amazing. He had on a tanktop and joggers and looked like he should be featured on the cover of a magazine.

"You could have just made a cold sandwich and left it sitting here. I didn't make anything special the first time."

"I love being in the kitchen. It was no bother, besides I made one for me. So do you mind if I join you?"

" Absolutely not. This smells amazing. I could smell the bacon in the shower, but I figured you wanted something for yourself, didnt know I would be treated to a club sandwich. I should let you throw tea at me every night."

"haha all you have to do is ask no need to get dosed in tea"

as we sit down, K.C. dives in to his sandwich first and lets out a sexy moan of gratitude.

"This is amazing. "

" It's just a sandwich haha"

"It tastes way better than the cold bologna I was eating. I think it is better than the dinner that yall had sent to the packhouse"

" Well, thank you. The kitchen is one of my happy places."

" What's another happy place? If you don't mind me asking, "

"any kind of fresh running water, nature, the moonlight, Im going crazy being stuck inside so much" I'm not sure what made me answer truthfully but there is something about him I just can't put my finger on yet.

We finished eating K.C. grabbed our plates and stuck them in the dishwasher, then turned around to face me.

" Would you like to see my happy place?"

"I don't want to get you into trouble. I'm not allowed to leave. I'll just head to my room"

"It is still inside. Daryk told me you were allowed anywhere in the walls before he left. It is inside the walls."

" What do you mean before he left he's not here? Can you help me get out without hurting my pack?

" He will be back. He just wanted to give you space for the next 24 hours. He is going to be sending more pack members. He went to get the witches. Their homes have been finished. I would not mention escaping again. First, it's not safe. Second ( he leaned in real close and whispered. You never know who is listening to report back.)

"The witches he is going to let witches stay here? That's unheard of. Most packs send people away if their mate isn't a wolf. I've always wanted my pack to include everyone."

" It looks like yall have the same ideas. So how bout it do you wanna see my favorite place inside the walls?"

"I'd love to"
