My mate’s mistress

Chapter 16. Dark side

When I got back with Luna and Matt I went to my room to freshen up. After doing that I heard a knock on my door.

“ it’s open.”

I shouted taking my phone off the dresser and went to sit on the bed when my brother came in.

“ Ugh, should’ve known it was you.”

He laughed before throwing himself on my bed.

“ hey get off.” I huffed using my foot to push him off.

“ or what. You’ll tell your boyfriend Gael.” He laughed holding onto my foot.

“He’s not my boyfriend” I took a pillow swinging it at him but he blocked

“ since when are you being so shy and all that girly girl stuff.” He said laying with his hands behind his head.

“I am a girl, Andel” I say softly while scrolling through my phone.

“ yea I know..but you usually don’t behave like that, do you like him. It’s okay if you do.”

“ if that’s what you came here for just get out.”

“ what!!..what did I say wrong?.” He push himself up on his elbow looking at me

“ I just want to be alone for a while”

“ okay. Don’t forget to check in with mom and dad.” Hesitantly, he stood up and walked out.

When I was younger I used to hear voices in my head that it caused migraine headaches. I felt like I was going insane, they’d argue about what I should do and shouldn’t do. it got too much at one point that I had screamed and wished for them to just go away and they did, But one of the voice never left. it was still there, talking to me, the one that always kept me calm.

most time when someone would try to bully me it would always tell me to walk away, that is until, my grandmother had told me why we lived there, in Saint Vincent. the story behind it, that’s when I started to not listen to that soothing voice. Giving my bullies two strikes before I really do something, because I wanted revenge.

I remember one time a boy in my class jamol had said I’m a dummy but what got me to retaliate was that he said my brother is an even bigger dummy for walking with me and owning me as his sister.

I felt a heated energy that I’ve never felt before. I didn’t know how long it was but I heard my brother’s cry begging me to let him go. I was strangling him..The thing is I wasn’t even holding him physically. my brother had said when it was happening it didn’t even look like me he said my eyes were glowing but no one seem to notice it except jamol.

After that i had went to a stream about eight to ten minutes walk behind our house, just to see what else i can do. It took me a couple of tries to channel the powers. I had created a little whirlpool in a little pond at the stream and lifted a good size piece of log throwing it about five feet away from where i stood. After that I’d been going back there every evening after school to practice. my parents doesn’t seem to know but i intend to tell them, just not now. Now that I think about it my brother doesn’t know either and it doesn’t seem like he can do these things that I can. how can it be when we’re twins.

The last suspension I had before we came here, i slapped a classmate of mine Jennifer, so hard that her jawbone came out of place. She kept following me calling me wannabe auburn but I payed her no attention just before I entered the class she yanked my hair back I didn’t even give it a thought before I turned to slap her. Her screams rang out through the school corridor that weirdly brought me some type of satisfaction. while other children started gathering a teacher pulled me away to the office.

I don’t know when I drifted off to sleep with my thoughts but I woke up to the sun just rising, i looked at the time and it’s a little pass six so I decided I’m going to exercise a bit. Coming back to from my little exercise I went to shower before coming down for breakfast.

After breakfast I met Gael just coming for breakfast.

“ hey princess” he flashed me cheeky grin.

“ my name is Yolanda” I said blushing looking down

“ I know” he whispered using his index finger to pull my face up to look him in his face then use his free hand to push a lock of hair from my face behind my ear.

“ can’t I call you princess “

He smiled caressing my cheek. my heartbeat picked up speed and so loud that I can hear it.

“..there’s- there’s nothing wrong with it but..”

“ so princess it is then.” He grinned

“ would you like to go with me to a sweet shop. I have to pick up a cake for my mom.”

“ ..yea, sure. what time.”

“ uhh how about you go up and change and we’ll go right after.”

“ wouldn’t it be a little too early to go there?.”

“ no consider it as us hanging out.” I nodded and left to change my outfit.

When I came down Matt is coming from the kitchen stuffing his mouth. When he saw me his eyes went wide.

“ mmm, ouuu you look nice. Is Prince Charming taking u on a date.”

“ no, we’re just hanging out before he pick up a cake for his mom.”

“ oh, yes. I forgot. he said to meet him outside.” My face went beetroot red from the fact that he knew everything already and still asked.

“ okay. Thanks..bye.”

As I’m shutting the door I heard him chuckle and said ‘ teenagers’

“ do you want to walk or ride.”

“ is it far.”

“ no, it’s walking distance.”

“ okay, let’s walk.” I mumbled already walking off.

“ are you sure.” He asked and I nodded.

We walked for about fifteen or so minutes before reaching the place, but it felt short because we were talking. We got to know each other a little bit. While we were there sitting still talking and laughing, a girl walked up to our table.

“ Gael, can we talk.” She shifted on one leg with a hand on her hip.

“ no. Natalie I’ve told you countless times there’s nothing to talk about.” He mumbled without sparing her a glance.

“Is it because of this bi-“

“ I’d watch my tongue if I were you.” Gael snapped his head towards the girl as he stood up glaring at her.

“ Um, I’ll see you at home Gael.” I said softly before getting up and she scoffed.

I can see the disappointment in gaels face but this decision is for the best I’m not apart of there pack and I don’t want to hurt this girl.

I must say I’m proud of myself for not needing that one voice in my head anymore to know when to walk away from trouble. I’m able to control my powers but I’m still wondering what else I am capable of.

Going to pay for my smoothie I had to wait because the cashier wasn’t there, I overheard her saying. “ that’s why you’ve been avoiding me not wanting to talk things out, that’s why you don’t want to get back together”

“ you know damn well why. you cheated on me with my friend and lie to my face even when I asked you, you kept saying you were helping him with school work. and honestly I’m not even mad at him.” He whisper yelled.

“ so why are you mad at me then, it takes two to tango. What about your bro code sh.it.”

“As my girlfriend you were supposed to be loyal to me. you made yourself available and he took it. Who knows how many other men you made yourself available to that i don’t know about.”

“Okay but it was just once though..”

“Really Natalie. once…” he scoffed.

“ what do you see in her anyway”

I didn’t want to hear it. I left the money on the counter and ran out. Running on the sidewalk, I passed a couple more shops and there’s a road that leads down behind them. There’s a big open space with about ten or so patio table sets with the umbrellas closed. behind that is a supermarket and the other side a restaurant. I decided I’m going to buy me some ice cream, a big bottle of soda and other junk snacks to lock myself in my room and watch movies for the rest of the day.
