The dream girls' secret!

Chapter 12

Elizabeth's pov

It is the next day and I'm looking rough; after the hour of sleep on the sofa with Ozzie last night my body was restless. My mind refused to shut off and my head ached from the lack of sleep. I hadn't felt like this in ages, it was like I was hungover, but hungover, over worry? But I had no idea why? I had nothing to worry about so why the was I worried? I racked my brain for what felt like hours trying to figure it out, but nothing, I got nothing. 

Snapping myself back to reality I found my self looking for him again. Then it hit me! Could I actually be worried about him? Nope! No! No way. I was not going to worry for him, I was not going to have feelings for him, stop yourself Elizabeth stop it.

"Just admit Liz, you have feelings for the dumb boy, no matter how hard you try to say you don't" 

"No I don't Em! What if he is just another Mark? What if he isn't actually our mate and is just tricking us again? What if...."

"Elizabeth. You need to get over him! Yes he was a d**k and yes we both loved him, but we found our actual mate what more could we ask for?"

"But.."

But I had nothing else to say. I was speechless. I didn't want to admit it. I wasn't ready to admit it. He isn't going to like who I am he isn't going to like what I have had to do to protect my family. 

Everyday since I turned into Emerald. I have trained. Trained to be the best, trained to protect my family. Trained to kill, and yes I have. But I don't want to talk about that nightmarish time. I never wanted to talk about it.

I went into the bathroom looked at myself in the mirror and decided to fix myself up. I was a total hot mess. I still had my bed hair, I was wearing sweat pants, an oversized hoodie and I desperately needed a shower. 

Luckily I new just the girl to help; Ella!

"Okay I'm here what is the emergency?" Ella took one look at me and I saw her eyes light up with excitement. "Omg you want a makeover don't you!?"

All I could say was, "Umm yes please?"

In literally two seconds she was all over me brushing my hair, applying makeup and finding clothes out of the huge collection she had gone and brought from her locker. Ella seemed nice, she wasn't a popular girl but everyone that knew her liked her and that was no exception with me.

What had felt like no time at all she was done. Ella had straightened my hazel hair so it just reached my hips, she had also put a natural look on with a little mascara and a dash of highlight on my cheeks. Looking in the mirror, I was lucky that Ella was a similar size to me and her clothes fit me just right, I had a red little crop top on with some black ripped jeans and not to boast but I looked good. 

"You look so pretty Elizabeth"

I turned to her saying, "Just call me Liz and thank you!" I flashed my best smile as Ella beamed 

"Okay Liz, then call me El, anyway we need to get to class as the bell is about to ring."

Dashing out of the bathroom I felt confident and strutted my stuff, I felt I could take on the world and no-one could stop me. 

Few hours later

It has just reached lunch time and I am super tired. I had just had English lit then biology straight after; and yes it is unusual to take two university subjects but doing one just bored me and I had already skipped a year; so I thought I might as well, I can always drop one it if I don't want to do it anymore, but I'm getting distracted. Anyway after these two lesson I just didn't want to talk to anyone, I had to talk to people all during the lessons and I just wanted to have some time to myself. 

Yawning , as usual, I went to the canteen quickly grabbing some food and went to the woods outside to take a walk. Luckily all I had were study periods to end the day so I could take my time and stroll around. 

The day was really beautiful, the sun was out, the sky was clear and I felt relaxed for the first time in a while. The air felt so fresh and all Em wanted to do was burst out and run for miles and miles, unfortunately  I don't think the uni would be too impressed to have reports of a wolf roaming their woods.

I was quite happy just strolling around, eating my apple and listening to my music when the hairs on the back of my neck began to prick and I could feel a pair of beady eyes staring right at me.

I turned my music off and looked around trying to find the person who dared disturb my peace. My eyes raked the trees as I started to realise I had gone a lot further into the woods than I had originally planned, I must of walked a lot further than I had thought. Suddenly my adrenaline started to kick in as I felt the eyes getting closer and closer and the reality of my situation became worse by the second.  

*Snap*

I turned to quickly see a figure run at me, my heart stopped and I thought I was a gonna. I had trained so much but this took me completely off guard, I was about to make a run for it when a pair of thick muscular arms wrapped themselves around my waist a pulled me over their shoulder. This tingling sensation flooded my body making me feel numb and before I knew it I blacked out. The last thing I remember was hearing Em shout for me to wake up but I was too shocked to do anything, I let the tingles and darkness consume me as I fell into a deep sleep.
