*Marlene POV*
Once the door was shut, I didn't know what to feel. Here I am surrounded by people but no one to talk to. Jake and his family would be biased on the situation. I can't see a therapist because they would probably commit me to the psych ward. I want.. no need to talk to someone, but I don't think it would be right to share this secret with anyone.
Maybe I can talk to Jessica but try to keep it vague. I thought about it for a few minutes and decided it would be a good idea. I grabbed my phone off my night stand and dialed her number. she picked up on the third ring.
"Hello, This is Jessica."
"Hey Jess, It's Mar. Sorry for calling so late but I need someone to talk to."
There was a pause before what she said next confused me.
"I think you have the wrong Jessica, I don't know anyone named Mar."
"Haha Jess, I know it's been a while but you couldn't have forgotten me already." There was another pause.
"I'm sorry, but I don't know you. goodbye."
After the line went dead I tried face timing her through f*******: but discovered she was no longer on my friends list.
"What the hell is going on?" I asked out loud to myself. I want to drive to her house and find out what I could have done for her to act like she doesn't know me. Unfortunately I am stuck here in a house full of supernatural people and no one to talk to. I sit there stuck with my thoughts... alone...
Well instead of feeling sorry for myself I am going to just figure this out on my own. I never needed anyone before and I am not going to start now. I start making a mental note of everything that has happened in the last two months. I manage to put things in three categories. Good, Bad and handle it later / on the fence.
Good things, I met Jake and I have started to have feelings for him. Sarah is becoming a really good friend. I am relatively healthy and for now safe (I think).
Bad things, I no longer have a business, I probably lost my best friend for reasons I don't know. There are people hunting me (who are apparently Vampires) . I am bed ridden due to my clumsiness. The guys I have feelings for and his family are werewolves.
Did I miss anything? probably, but the bad is weighing pretty heavy right now and I don't know how to tip the scales the other way. After thinking some more about everything I guess the whole werewolf thing isn't really that bad. Weird and a little crazy, sure, but not bad. I don't know if I lost Jessica for sure so that can go on its own list of handle later / on the fence, same with my business. I could always start that back up.
I checked the time and realize I have been sitting here for a few hours already. I get a sudden urge to pee and sigh. Should I try to go myself or message Sarah?
"screw it." I say as I reach for my wheelchair. I'm about to scooch my butt onto the chair when the wheels move and I land on the floor hard. I grunt out in frustration and attempt to rub the soreness out of my butt. I look to the chair and realize I forgot to lock the wheels. I sighed, I locked the wheels and try again.
Using my one good arm I try to pull myself up into the chair and fail miserably. I sit there on the floor for a good minute or so before admitting to feet and grabbing my phone. I sent Sarah a quick text to see if she is still awake, since it is almost midnight.
-Hey Sarah, You up?-
A moment goes by and no response. "UGH! now what do I do?" I ask myself. I feel that familiar pressure again before I hear someone say "Jake." it was a whisper but I definitely heard it. "Who's there?" I ask, with no response. I shake my head and squeeze my eyes shut. "It's official, I'm going crazy!" I say while throwing my hands up. I sit there a few more minutes trying to come up with another solution by now I have to pee so bad I might end up being here on the floor.
I look at my phone inside as I pull up Jake's number. he's probably asleep as well but I send him a text anyway.
-Hey Jake-
-Hey Mar, everything ok?- his reply was almost instantaneous.
-I need some help, can you come to my room?-
I waited for his reply but instead I heard a knock at my door. "That was quick" I thought.
"Come in" I say and he quickly opens the door. he looks around before finding me on the floor.
"What happened, why are you on the floor?" he says well coming towards me.
"I really needed to use the bathroom and I tried to do it myself but the chair hates me as much as I hate it." I said while glaring at the wheelchair.
He chuckles but promptly stops when my glare is directed towards him.
"Can you just help me into my chair?" I asked him. He bends down to pick me up but instead of putting me in the chair he carries me into the bathroom.
"uh... what are you doing?"
"Just helping you to the bathroom. I will wait outside the door, just let me know when your done." he says with a smirk. before I can say anything else he lowers me down to the toilet and walks out the door closing it behind him.
It was a struggle but I managed to use the bathroom and call him back in.
"Thank you." I say as he picks me up and takes me back to my bed
"It's no problem.. did you need anything else?" he asks.
"I'm good now, thank you."
"Okay, well have a goodnight Mar." he said before leaving. I wanted him to stay but I couldn't find it in me to ask. I laid my head down and let sleep take me.
*Dream 5*
I'm in the meadow again, but this time it's a warm summer day. The grass and flowers are tall and beautiful. I start to run around feeling free and stress free. after what felt like a few moments I decided to sit down and enjoy the sun. Suddenly a light brown wolf walks up and lays down beside me.
"Well hello" I say to her.
"Hello Marlene" I heard her say, but it was inside my head and not out loud.
"Oh cool, your telepathic." she laughed at my reply.
"You can think of it that way." She says before standing.
"Walk with me?" she asks. I stand and we start to walk side by side.
"So, do you have a name?"
"Yes... My name is Amaya"
"That's a pretty name."
"Thank you. So I want to prepare you for what is going to be happening soon."
"What do you mean?"
"We are going to shift."
I stop walking and just stare at her.
"What do you mean by we and shift?"
"I am your wolf and you are my human, I have always been with you. But when we were young we were taken from our parents and I was suppressed."
"So the dreams I have had while in the hospital were not dreams but really were memories? I was drugged? So my parents may not be my parents?.... WAIT! I am a WEREWOLF?!"
"Calm down Mar, it's going to be okay. We we'll get through this together."
I take a deep breath.
"Okay, let's start back to the beginning. You said we're going to shift, do you know when?"
"Yes, we will shift on the next full moon."
"And when is that?"
"In about two days."
At this point we have started walking again.
"That's not a lot of time, and I'm still in my casts. How is that going to work?"
"By the end of today I should be able to have you fully healed."
"Oh.. okay well that solves that. So next question... Is Jake really our fated mate?"
"Yes." she says while wagging her tail. I smile at her.
"It's about noon now, it's time to wake up." She says as I feel myself falling.
