Christopher
“Mr. Reed?” Ms. Green asked. Christopher was staring at his hands. He was thinking about Angelica. “Mr. Reed...“ Ms. Green repeated annoyed. Christopher kept staring. “Her soft hands...“ He thought. “Chris?“ Mr. Thaler, the sheriff shook Christopher's shoulder, pulling Christopher out of his daydream. “Uh... Yes?” Christopher looked up.
“MR. REED! Do I have your attention now? Can you tell me what happened last night?” Ms. Green looked angry. "I went to the pack party..." Christopher started with a numb voice, still having tears in his eyes. “We drank one beer each.” Christopher was building up anger. “ONE BEER!” He started shouting. “HOW CAN IT BE THAT I CAN NOT REMEMBER?” Christopher started to have a panic attack. His voice started to tremble. “ONE BEER!” He repeated.
Before he totally lost it and Drake could take over, the unknown man took his sunglasses off. His eyes were bright yellow. They were shining. He grabbed Christopher and looked deep into his eyes. Christopher heard a voice in his head. “I know it is hard my friend. It is not your fault. We know you love her. We just need to try and get all the information we can get. If You want to help your mate, then try to calm down.”Christopher took a deep breath. The voice had a soothing effect on him. His agony was gone. He felt totally relaxed.
“Thank you Olav.” Ms. Green said. “That’s why I’m here Ashley. You werewolves are terrible at keeping your temper...“ That was when Christopher realized that Olav was no werewolf. “What.... Are you?” He asked, mesmerized by Olav’s yellow eyes. “I’m an Angel.” he replied. “There is Angels?“ Christopher looked surprised. “Real Angels? Is god also a thing then?” Christopher had never heard of Angels being real. “Hm... Yes there is Angels. If by god you mean the council then... Sort of.“ Olav replied. He leaned forward onto the desk, as two big wings started to grow on his back. "See?” he pointed onto his back, leaving Christopher baffled. Mr. Thaler looked displeased. “Mr. Fjelltopp. I thought the council was very clear about not revealing your identity?” Olav, or Mr. Fjelltopp, which apparently was his last name looked sad. “I will make him forget and erase his memories of course. It is just nice to be seen every once in a while... I apologize." Christopher started again to try and focus on Angelica. He felt as if he needed to remember something. His body wanted to tell him something. He just did not know what.
“Mr. Reed?” Ms. Green realized that Christopher tried to focus. “Did you remember something?” She looked hopeful. “Uh... Yes... Mrs...” Ms. Green looked annoyed. “Ashley. Just call me Ashley.” Christopher looked up and met her emerald green eyes. He didn’t realize how beautiful they were until now. He felt a spark. “Angelica... Ashley... No it’s Angelica... Huh...“ He stuttered, being confused about what he just had felt. He tried to focus on Angelica again and was shaking his head to get Ashley out of his mind. “Christopher, I know it is not easy. She is your mate after all... But you need to try. Face the trauma. We are here. If it gets too much, Olav can always help you feel better.” Christopher felt a strike through his heart as he heard Ashley's voice.
He tried to focus yet again and finally started talking. “Angelica got the beer we drank from two strangers standing at the bar.” He closed his eyes trying to remember, as he felt the warm feeling of Angelicas love slowly fade from his chest. Another tear appeared. “They mentioned her being an Angel. I assumed it was because of her name of course. But we did not know them. Shortly after I went to the forest. That’s how far my memory goes. But I feel like there is something waiting in my head to be remembered...” Christopher said, wiping away his tears. “Christopher. Is it okay if I go by your first name too?" Olav asked. Christopher nodded his head. “Good. First names give the relationship more personality. Makes my job easier you know. Can I try something?” Christopher nodded his head.
Olav stood up, still showing off his angel wings. He gestured on putting his hands on Christopher’s head and waited for a sign of approval. Christopher nodded again. As Olav put his hands on Christopher’s head, he closed his eyes and started talking. “I feel cosy and warm. I feel like going to bed. I want to tuck myself in. I lay down. I feel like a toddler and want to suck my thumb. I hear a wolf. The wolf grabs me on my t-shirt. I am tossed to the floor. I smell white chocolate. It is my mate. She is close. Very close. I feel like I want to kiss her. I feel her collapsing on me. I feel her being dragged from me.” Olav removed his hands and opened his eyes. “Did you get anything Ashley? She gave Olav a thumbs up, and pointed with a pen to her college block. They both looked pleased while Christopher and Mr. Thaler looked confused about what just had happened.
“The memory of your mind might be gone but not the memory from your body." Olav said." I could feel her... “ Christopher mumbled. “Yes, we were reliving what your body felt during the incident. I don’t remember it though. I just feel like having white chocolate now.” Olav replied with a happy face. Ashley looked pleased. “Okay Christopher. I think we are done torturing you. I am sorry for the inconvenience" She said. "Are you ready Olav?” Olav nodded. As Christopher realized what he was about to do, he shouted. “No! Please no!” Olav looked sad. „Christopher... I have to...” He was about to erase his memory. “No please! You just gave me back feelings! Don't take them away from me again! Please let me keep it!” Christopher begged. He threw himself on the floor in submission. Pressing his face onto it's surface. Olav looked at Ashley. She was holding the bridge of her nose. “You know what...” She looked at Christopher. “You can keep you memory for now. If you tell anybody about Olav though, we have to have you executed by the council. I think you can be still useful for our investigation.“ Christopher looked relieved. “I promise! Ill do everything!“ Ashley looked at Christopher. She seemed caught by his blue eyes. But she shook it off right before people could think she was staring. “Well... Then you are dismissed. And get yourself off the floor for Christ's sake!" Olav said with a big grin on his face. Christopher took the opportunity and did not even say his goodbyes as he stood up and rushed outside of the room, to make his way to the pack hospital.
Ashley
Ashley’s eyes followed Christopher as he stormed out of the interrogation room.
“Ok... You want him?" A voice appeared in her head.
“Oh Saphira, shut your mouth! He is mated!" Ashley thought.
“I felt your heart skip when you saw his butt as he was running away, there is no use in lying to me.” Saphira giggled. “I have to admit, he made quite an impression with his eyes..." Saphira added.
“Hush! He is mated, we had our chance with our mate! Don’t make it worse, will you?“
“You got soft on him."
“I know."
“You allowed him to keep his memory. You skipped University for a job you basically just threw out of the window when they find out you did not wipe his memory."
“I know.”
“All because of these light blue eyes."
“I kn... Stop Saphira! You are impossible! I only did it because he could still be useful to us!”
“In bed?“ Saphira giggled yet again.
Ashley slapped herself for the dirty thoughts running through her mind.
“Well.. Should we... Interfere?“ Mr. Thaler asked. “Nah... Let her wolf have fun with her. I think we all saw the obvious...“ They stood there for another minute watching the spectacle of Ashley fighting herself.
Ashley slammed both of her hands into her face framing it. “Now look, at what you've done Saphira! We humiliated ourselves in front of our colleagues!" She shouted and looked, with her now messy bun, towards Olav’s and Mr. Thaler’s amused faces.
“Well then..." She said while fixing her bun.
“It is okay Ashley. You are quite young, I would guess the same Age as him?" Mr. Thaler asked."21..." Ashley replied. She still looked as if she was ashamed of herself. "Don't get embarrassed following your instincts when you see a young handsome wolf.“ Mr. Thaler continued. Ashley blushed even more as she heard Mr. Thaler’s words. Mr. Thaler and Olav giggled. “Don't worry, there is a lot of she wolves which can’t take their eyes off of him. It just happened to be Angelica being the lucky one the moon goddess chose for him.” Mr. Thaler said and suddenly looked disappointed “I always thought my Rita would be mated with him... What a shame.” He continued. Ashley tired to get herself back together and sat back to the table.
"Ookay...What do we have.” She said calm and collected.
“A young female and male werewolf attacked by an unknown, or multiple people on a parking lot after attending the pack party. The female is in bad shape. Her back was cut open from the top of her spine to her bottom. She has multiple bruises and is still in some sort of coma. We don’t know if it was self induced by her wolf to endure the pain better. But her healing abilities seem to have weakened drastically. The young male does not have any memory from the point when they left the party together. Here we gathered new information that he was taken on the back of his mates wolf Emilia because he fell asleep on their way home. She then collapsed for whatever reason onto his body at the parking lot and was dragged off of him.” Mr. Thaler summarized. “Also, we know that they got beer from strangers." Olav added. “Could the beer have been poisoned?" Ashley asked.
“Unlikely... They both had different reactions to it. How would the attacker know who would pass out and who would not?” Mr. Thaler said confidently.
“I suggest we continue paying the pack hospital a visit. Then I want to try to figure out who these two men where at the party. They must have been seen handing Angelica the beers by more people. She is the alpha’s daughter after all.“ Ashley said, and packed up her bag.
