One of A Kind

Chapter 7

    Kyle and Kiah were watching me closely. I started to sit up, and Kiah crossed the floor in one swift motion put one hand on my chest above my breasts and said, "You need to get up as slowly as you can, you're going to feel very light-headed, and your body is going to feel very heavy at the same time." He removed his hand from my chest and helped me sit up as slowly as possible. 

    He was right, I got light-headed, and I couldn't lift any of my limbs. They felt so heavy. I looked at Kiah and tried to shake my head so he would know to lay me back down, but I couldn't move my head. I whispered, "Kiah, lay me back down, or I'm going to puke all over you." 

    He laid me back down, and smiled at me, kissed me on the forehead. After he kissed me, I felt another electric zing move through my body. I stifled a moan because it felt good and hurt all at the same time. 

    He looked at me, and our eyes met. I knew he was going to tell me what my father had done to me.

    "Yelena, they told me that you had them use the syringe your father had given to you, said he instructed you to, do you mind if I read the letter your father had given you with it?" He asked sincerely.

    I shook my head and cringed with pain, "No, I don't mind at all, he said I could trust your family with the letter." I smiled a little, realizing how comforted I was by him being so close to me.

    He grabbed the letter from where it had been sat down and opened it. I could see the concentration on his face as he read every word very carefully. He folded it back up and put it back in the envelope and turned to me.

    He moved closer to my face, and as he kissed my cheek, I felt another electric shock. What is happening? I thought to myself.

    This time he looked at me again, making sure I saw him touch his lips. He felt it this time too.

    Without skipping another beat, he started to tell us what was happening. "You're not going to like what he did to you. I've known about this for a long time, and I was hoping it never came to this. His letter proves to me that he sent it to you right before he went into hiding. Giving you these items was a last resort, but Yelena, you have to promise me that you will not overreact when I tell everyone the truth." He moved away from me slowly, licking his lips lightly, waiting for my answer.

    "I can't promise I won't overreact, but I promise not to yell at you." I replied sternly. I started moving my limbs slowly as I began to feel my body come back to life.

    Ella walked in with two bowls of pasta, one for me and one for Kiah; she looked at me and shook her head.

     "I hope you're hungry, and I made some for your boyfriend too, I figured after hauling away that werewolf he would be starving, that guy didn't look light." She said as she handed me the bowl.

    I slowly sat up and curled my legs up under me and started eating, observing everyone, then I realized what she had said. 

    "He's not my boyfriend!" I said very fast and blushed.

    Kiah looked at me and started laughing, "out of everything she said to you, you get defensive about her saying I'm your boyfriend. Not about the werewolf or anything, you crack me up, love." He finished as he started eating his pasta.

    Love? I thought to myself. That's a new one. I shrugged it off like he hadn't said anything, and through a mouthful of pasta, I asked: "Are you going to tell me what happened when we stuck me with that huge ass needle?"

Ella looked at me and rolled her eyes, "You need to swallow your food before you talk, it's quite disgusting to see it rolling around in your mouth." She finished as she looked expectedly at Kiah.

"Well," he started saying, not knowing exactly where to start, he sighed and continued, "My father, your father, and Kyle's father, they were best friends growing up. As you know, Kyle's father is a vampire, mine is a werewolf, and your dad is a portal walker. The war between everyone started when they were in their early teens. Their parents tried to separate them by moving away, but they would write letters and ideas about how they could change this war. With their knowledge of their degrees in supernatural science, they came up with an idea that Clive Haveski himself wanted to steal." He stopped to take a bite of pasta, swallowed, and continued, "Their idea was to harness supernatural powers. They figured out how to combine them into one being. The only problem was that they knew it had to be someone with a pure soul, untarnished by war and hate. When your mother had you, Yelena, he hid you from the world so your soul could remain untarnished. There is something that you do not know about your mother." he paused, looking at me, and with sad eyes continued. "Your mother was a werewolf and died giving birth to you because of your portal walking powers. You were a very powerful being when you were born, and that's why your dad hid you away. He knew that you had been a true gift; he wanted you safe and wasn't going to let anyone get to you." He stopped and ate the last of his pasta, put down the bowl and sat down next to me and grabbed my hand. 

I gasped at how the shocks came back from him just holding my hand. "What is happening, Kiah?" I asked as I pulled my hand away from him. The sensations were pulsating through my body, and it was overwhelming me.

"You were already part werewolf, you just never had to change at the full moon. He sent you to live with us because he wanted you to know how we act, how we mate, and how we unite as a pack. I was 14 when he brought you. I've always made it my business to protect you." He sighed, trying to reach for my hand again. I shook my head. "After my father handed the pack over to me because he got sick, he told me what they had done." He placed both his hands in his face and rubbed his eyes. "Yelena, you are now part of all three factions." He whispered.

The words had barely left his lips when I started shaking with anger and confusion. I looked at him, wondering why he kept this from me for so long. I already knew the answer. He cares for you. A voice whispered through my mind. What the hell!
