::Sarah's POV::
Where?
Where are you?
I didn't know who I was looking for but my instincts had told me to run into the pitch black darkness. I can feel my legs pounding and stinging from the stamina I had used up.
There was an inaudible voice. It was echoing in the distant.
''Come,'' it whispered.
I gasped while trying to catch up to the call. Every time I feel like I was moving an inch closer it just teleports 10 feet further away.
This had got to be one of those dreams that damn Trey puts me through. I remember he would deliberately cast dream spells while I was asleep. Sometimes they would be vivid flashbacks except I could change an outcome, or nightmares so intense I felt the scraping of death. Also... sometimes... sometimes he would drop a few wet dreams of me and Drake.
I would wake up happy after those dreams but it seemed awkward to mention it, so we never did.
But this time I was running in the darkness! To an anonymous voice that just won't stay still!
''Come,'' it continued.
I know I had been running for a while! I didn't have Jen's stamina or strength and I was basically out of breath.
I stood there, ''No! You COME!'' I demanded.
There was no response.
I sighed in frustration, ''Trey! You can get me out of here now. I know you're trying to tell me that I am fat and need to lose weight. But this is too petty.''
''Wait,'' the voice said, ''Trey?''
''Yeah...'' I rolled my eyes, ''Treyvon the freaking annoying bat!'' I responded.
''How do you know Trey?'' it countered with a question.
''Trey stop messing around I know this dream is because of you. Snap me awake will you?''
For a second there was silence.
All of the sudden the voice appeared right behind my shoulders!
''He's not the one calling for you.''
I felt the cold shiver up my spine, my goosebumps formed and my eyes basically shot out of its sockets.
''Who's there?!'' I swung my head around, but it was still dark.
''Allow me to introduce myself.'' the voice became friendly.
A small dim light started to form until it surrounded us from the darkness.
Before me, was a beautiful black woman. Her beautiful afro curls bounced as she took a few steps forward.
She had yellow eyes and noticeably long canine fangs. She wore a maxi dress that hugged her curvy body. She looked so damn sexy, but classy at the same time. Something about her felt so familiar. Until it hit me!
''My name is Regina.'' she introduced and then bowed, ''Nice to meet you.''
Holy s**t! It's trey's sister! Like in the flesh!
''Gina.'' I accidentally muttered.
''No one ever called me that name besides Treyvon. I am assuming you two are close?'' She snapped her finger and the scene changed into a wooden cabin.
Wait.
This wooden cabin was the same one that my mother had been residing in! Only it was more in its prime now!
The furniture were not torn up and dusty. They were pristine and the place felt so homely! The windows weren't cracked, the door was not rotten, everything was in top notch condition!
''Well...'' I had to focus!
''I wouldn't consider us close close.'' I tried to emphasize.
''Oh I know Trey.'' she sat down and sipped red wine, ''The only person he would ever consider close to him is me.''
''Wait, you're alive?!'' I was extremely confused.
I continued, ''If you're alive why don't you-'' but she lifted an index and stopped me right there.
''I'm not alive.'' she said firmly.
''What?'' I felt myself choke up, ''But I don't understand. You're literally right here in front of me. I...''
Regina's face began to sadden, ''Unfortunately I've been in purgatory since I did die.''
''It's a vampire thing,'' she casually said.
I was completely baffled. But felt it wasn't my place to pry about the subject, especially when she did not know that I had read entries about her.
''He misses you.'' I almost jerked a tear, because as much as Trey shown no emotions about me. Any mention about his sister would always trigger something inside him.
''And that's why I cannot move on.'' she sighed.
''What happened to you?'' I asked.
She just stared blankly at me. She shown no intention on telling me either.
''I'm sorry,'' I tried to change the subject, ''But what can I do to help put you to rest?''
She looked away at first and then back at me, ''Make Treyvon happy.''
Now call me stupid, but that was impossible! I just couldn't think of a way to achieve that.
''Uhhh...'' was all I could offer.
''I cannot move on to the afterlife, because my sins rest with him. Since I had left him in the physical world I cannot gain permission to leave without him holding onto me in his thoughts.''
''So you're saying he has to move on from you?'' I inputted.
''It won't be that easy,'' she sighed again, ''Knowing how stubborn he is...''
Then there was that blank stare again. I offered a listening ear to show her she could continue, but she kept staring.
But it wasn't like she was staring at my eyes, or at me at all! She stared over my shoulder, at something behind me.
Instinctively I turned around, but there was nothing there!
''Uhm, are you okay?'' I asked, feeling creeped out.
She remained in the same position.
This had gone on for about 10 minutes. But I patiently waited for her to finally snap back into conversation with me.
''You will gain one, but lose two.'' she mumbled.
Pardon me?
''You will gain one, but lose two!'' she began nodding.
Okay, now wasn't the time for riddles, ''What are you trying to say?''
She then shot me the most cold look, ''That's the only way Trey can be happy?'' she looked over my shoulder again at nothingness.
''Who are you talking to?'' I spun around and saw there was no one there yet again.
I must be crazy!
All of a sudden, the once lit room around us began to turn into ashes. The room began to deteriorate at alarming speed!
''You will gain one, but lose two. You will gain one, but lose two.'' was the words Regina kept repeating.
I was panicking and realized that I was going to wake up! I swiftly shifted my attention back to her.
''No Gina please! I need to know what happened to you. I have so many questions.''
''You will gain one, but lose two.'' she continued.
She sat perfectly still, her posture stiffened, but her eyes began to water.
''Please Gina!'' I begged, ''Trey needs your help and we have to know what happened to you. Please don't go. Please...''
But the last look I saw on her face was a saddened expression. Tears dropping along her cheeks, but she still kept reciting those same words, ''You will gain one, but lose two.''
''Gina, tell me. I will help you!'' I choked.
The ashes closed in on me, but I didn't want to go. I just met Regina! Trey's sister! She was the only one who would make him happy! I could not achieve that. I wouldn't know how either. I needed guidance or hints. But she wouldn't budge from that broken record. It was as if she was programmed to say only those words!
But my being had been eaten away by the ashes. I felt my soul disappearing and then I jolted awake!
However, I wasn't in Trey's den. I felt my surrounding and even just the scent was off. My vision was blurry, but as I rubbed my eyes it became clearer.
I was in the cabin! The same cabin that my mother shacked up in, and the same one that Gina came to me!
I felt a breeze crawl against my skin and I shriveled up! I realized that I was freaking naked! I quickly pulled the old tablecloth to cover me.
How did I get here?
I looked around. The breeze continued to blow from the eternal northern wind.
Where were my clothes?
I searched the premises, but had not found it.
The cold night air made me shiver, but Trey wasn't around!
''Trey?'' I called out, ''This is not funny Trey!''
No response.
''Okay so I will just head on back to my pack then.'' I sarcastically said.
No response.
What was I going to do? I definitely wasn't going to sit there all night talking to myself.
I huddled on my toes and made my way back.
But this time not to Trey's den.
But back home. To the Crimson Red Pack.
My heart thudded against my chest as I resumed my sprint through the woods.
The same woods Jen and I had hunted in, the same woods that lead to where Drake and I had our first real encounter.
My tears flew with the wind, my heart was hurting, but I know I had missed them. I missed all of them so damn much!
I would think Trey would have stopped me by now, but there was no sign of him anywhere. I would be considering another suicide if I decided to go back to that same cliff. I could not climb those edges, nor keep my balance from the updraft. The only way was home!
I didn't care anymore! I had to go back.
As much as it hurt me a bit to leave Trey behind I was still confused about how this all happened in the first place!
I began to see lights from the buildings. I cared not about who saw me basically in loin cloth. I needed to get to safety and back to my family!
I then heard panting, grunting, someone sprinting my way!
The person was using their wolf's speed!
I got into fighting position, but with that extreme speed I felt the warmest hug.
''Sarah you f*****g hoe! Where have you been!?''
Adam!
I broke down. I didn't care how ugly I looked I broke down just embracing him back. His warmth shadowed my frost bitten body.
''I am so happy we found you. But...'' he took a step back and then lifted an eyebrow, ''Why are you naked?''
Why indeed.
But as I opened my mouth to talk he transformed into his wolf and signaled me to get on.
I instantly turned red, I wasn't wearing anything but this cloth! Nothing under especially.
This guy literally rolled his eyes at me in wolf form!
Basically saying, ''I'm gay. You'll never make me have a b***r. Now get on.''
So I did.
Adam then launched forward I grasped onto his wolf's pelt. It was so soft, so warm I felt like I could knock out on it.
To finally feel a wolf again. Although I wished it was from my own. I cried silently.
I was home.
