Snow

Six

I was alone at our house with Adel. Aunt May had to go to a social welfare call down the south and told me she'd be gone for a week. She wanted me to stay with Misha but I disagreed since no one would be left with Adel.

I was getting ready to be picked up by Misha, eating my pancake, while I pet Adel from the side.

When I finished my food and was about to do the dishes. I felt a sudden pain on my temple making me wince. My vision then started getting blurry and I hardly stood up straight.

"Ahhh..." I winced some more. The pain was just excruciating and endless for minutes. It felt a thousand needles poking your brain. I closed my eyes as if it would take the pain away.

I sat quietly on the floor, trying to calm my breathing. Adel licked me on the face, trying to comfort me. I thought the pain wouldn't go away but it went down after a while. When the pain was gone, I finally said goodbye to Adel and grabbed a pain killer at Aunt's closet.

The nightmares decreased but it was replaced by a couple of headaches. I thought it was much better than nightmares but I think it was getting worse. I headed out and saw Misha already waiting for me.

Misha was rambling about something like cancer, tumor, brain dead stuff to me just so I'd go see a doctor.

We walked along the school grounds and we saw Damian and his group. They were at a bench discussing something, Damian a.k.a 'Leader' was standing in front of them and they listened earnestly to him.

Seb tugged Damian to look over to me and he did.

The moment I saw his face, the night at Misha's house came flashing back. I was convinced he was an egotistical sexist by his remarks at me the other night. I'm still mad at him and so I ignored him and walked the other way. Misha and Louis trailed behind me.

"Uhm... Hello? Earth to Snow?" Misha called me, snapping me back as I was walking way too fast.

"Sorry." I went back at them and ignored Damian's group that kept their eyes on me.

"I know he's an asshole so I got your back babe." Misha smiled at me and looped her arms around my arms.

"If he ever bothers you, Snow. Tell me. Alright?" I heard Louis before he walked away to go to his class.

I smiled at both of them.

***********************

Third period was really the toughest class, not only because it's Physics, three freaking hours, but because I had a situation.

I can feel him move behind me, whenever he lets out a heavy sigh which was too frequent, and when I had to pass a few handouts to him, accidentally brushing his fingers.

I ignored him for the rest of the time at class and listened well to the instructor. 

I was listening when a few images flew in front of me, forming dark clouds and I fluttered my eyes. My breathing ragged again and my head began to hurt. I kept calm and closed my eyes, praying to God this stops. Not here, not right now. 

While my eyes were closed I saw an image of a big grayish dog? No. Wolf. I also saw myself in a different clothing, I had a red scarf, white shirt and pants. I opened my eyes and saw I am still inside the classroom but my vision was blurry with different images.

I saw Seb looking at me curiously and I shut my eyes once more.

The wolf was in front of me and suddenly pounced on top of me making me flinched to my seat, and an unbearable pain began to swarm my head again.

I cried. I groaned to the pain.

Misha went to me immediately and the class started panicking. Mr. Arthur went close to me and I also felt Damian moved from behind me. I waved my hands in motion to find Misha while I closed my eyes and cried as the pain kept coming.

"Mr. Arthur I'm taking her to the clinic." Misha shouted. I heard the instructor agreed with her, until I felt my body being lifted from my feet.

Someone was carrying me and everything went black after that. 

***************

I saw the wolf on top of me snarling ready to bite me anytime. But was suddenly pinned down by another wolf.

A big black wolf. He pinned the other wolf down while it growled in pain. I saw the big black wolf tear the grayish wolf's shoulder with a big bite, and the grayish wolf whimpered in pain until it finally stopped moving.

It was dead. 

When I got back to my senses, I was in a white room that smelled like medicines and alcohol. I realized I was in the clinic, and saw Misha with Louis. They were glad when I opened my eyes.

"What happened?" trying to get up but I winced in pain. My head still throbs a bit.

"You passed out. We had to get you here in the clinic"

"How long have I been out?"

"More than an hour already." Misha answered.

I shaked my head to feel if the pain was still there. It was gone and also the images. I was confused about that dream.

"Thank you Louis." he smiled but kept silent.

"Babe, Louis just came here." I furrowed my brows at them.

"I felt someone carried me here. It couldn't be you Mish." she smiled at me apologetically.

"Well, that's because Damian carried you here"

"What?!" Louis and I exclaimed in sync.

"I told Mr. Arthur I'd take you. But he carried you up in his arms instead"

"Great. Now I'm indebted to Mr. Sexist" I closed my eyes and knew the right thing to do was to still say thank you, even though I hate it.

"Promised me. You will go see a doctor for that pain of yours" Misha held me tightly and I nod.

I was still bothered with the dream. Why do I always have a wolf in my dream?

******************

Damian's POV

She was alright. I was on top of a big Pine tree, a good distance to her house. I watched her as she lay down her dinner, wash the dishes and went straight to her room. She combed her hair first before slipping in a nightgown.

My wolf urges inside me at her sight, but we both know I can't come to her.

I jumped down from the big tree and went inside Seb's car. He was waiting for me to finish while he played with his phone. This was our routine already since the day I met her.

I had to or else my wolf would take over and claim her. It's the least I can do to take away the urges and control my desires for her.

"Like what you see?"I heard him joke but I glared at him.

"She's alright now. She's been having nightmares the last few nights then it decreased. I thought she was fine then, until she had to faint today."

That's right. I know when she has nightmares. She's my mate. I can feel her when she's mad, sad and in distress. Apart from that I kept watching her every night before she sleeps.

We drove back to our forest and my mind went back to what I saw earlier this day.

She was sweating and her breathing ragged while we were in class. She was in pain and I felt that too. Something was happening to her body or mind, as she kept pinching her temple.

"You didn't see it right?" I heard Seb while he drove.

"See what?"

"Her eyes glowed a minute before she started closing her eyes shut."

"What?!" 

I almost yanked the car from stopping and pushing the hand break, Seb panicked.

"Are you going to kill us?"

"Tell me, what did you see." I asked, clenching my teeth.

"Her eyes were glowing white, but I just got a glimpse of it." He sighed.

"You know what this means, right?" he continued. 

"You have to check on her Damian. It's either she's special... or.."

"She's a witch." I cut him off and he ran his hands to his hair.

"What happened to her earlier is a manifestation of power. She was seeing visions, that explains her glowing eyes"

"If she's a Witch. Why would a werewolf be at her house?" 

I asked Seb, he was silent, he didn't know the answer to that.

As much as we hate humans. Wolves hated the witches even more. There were three dominant creatures in this world.

The Wolves. The Witches. The Hunters. All three hated each other's guts. Back in the day all three kept destroying one another.

Witches are powerful but only upto the extent of hurting our kind but never attempted to kill us. It was one mistake from the witches side that started a war, wiping the Marylake town 10 years ago.

Hunters are humans so they're very smart, they learned ways to kill our kind, because of that, we made peace treaties with a few important humans. Bribing them with gold.

The Maoir have to do it, to have order and balance, the world would go chaotic if one of the creatures started killing each other again. 

There'll be war and mass killing again.

We couldn't make a peace treaty with Witches as we all know Witches are yet to be extinct and only a few of them are left, they are hiding their town to us, hiding from the big bad werewolf.

"You can't tell this to anybody. Not yet. I'll look into this" I told him.
