"Christal.." Carly shows up behind. "Wanna go outside?"
"Nope." I said as i munched the nachos while watching tv.
"Come on! You've been locked up here ever since you came back. A few only knows you're back, don't you wanna see them?"
Well maybe that's true, it's been almost a month since i came back here and with everything going around here i didn't want to be involved, thankfully my brother didn't complain about anything. But i do know that he's expecting something from me.
Which he won't get.
"Don't want to, i'm still a redbloodmood wolf remember?" I rolled my eyes.
"What? Still? It's been a month and they haven't cut off ties with you?"
"Yeah, and my brother doesn't even seems interested in making me a bluestone wolf again. Can you believe it? It's like he's planning something." I munched my nacho angrily.
"Well both of you are really siblings." She laughs.
I glared at her and diverted my attention back to the tv, not caring about the problems that are circulating around me. I just wanted to rest for a while, it's been a lot tiring, for me it is.
"So.. you found your mate huh?"
I stopped eating, i glanced at her. "I don't really wanna talk about it."
"Why not? Is it because he's an enemy of our pack? But isn't it painful to be away from him?"
I sighed. "Look, it's not like that and yes it's painful but he actually haven't marked me yet."
"What? Why?"
"Well if your mate has an goal to run away from you would you bother marking her?" I chuckled bitterly.
"But both of you should be together! I mean that's what it means to be mates right?"
Yeah.
I guess that what it means to be mates, to be together, protecting each other and swearing love and loyalty to one another.
"It's complicated." I put up a forced smile.
She suddenly hugs me, startling me when she started sobbing hard. "I'm so sorry that i couldn't protect you while everyone tried to hurt you wahhh!!"
"There there." I pat her back.
For a while she didn't stop, hugging me tighter and repeating her words of forgiveness. Thankfully she stopped and pulled away from me. "That's why you should go out! Have fun."
"No."
"Come on! I missed you so much that i miss those nights where we sneak out to party hard in the city!"
"We're too old for that."
"Ugh! Stop acting like a gradma, we're not old! You just fell in love and you changed? Come onnn." She says trying to drag me from the sofa i loved so much.
I sighed, i don't think getting out of the house is a good idea, lots of danger are there out to get me. Especially right now, i'm not safe anywhere in the outside world.
Actually one of the reasons why i didn't also want to get out of the house because of the nightmares that's been haunting me everynight.
The only message it delivered to me is that, Get out and Die.
I'm not the type to be scared of nightmares but i don't think it's a normal one, someone was messing with me. I sensed it, a witch somewhere out the night, in a long distance far beyond the border lines. EveryNight trying to send me those warnings.
"No. I can't go out, i'm sorry." I pushed her away, getting up and marching towards my room upstairs.
Closing the door behind me, i quickly buried myself under my pillow.
I didn't want to sleep again.
No more nightmares!
I flinched when i sensed it again, she's back. I sat up and tried to detect her more, on the same position as any other night she came.
She was waiting for me to sleep.
But.. she knows that i know she's there right? If she does then this person must've been in contact with me before. But how can i tell? I've met so many witches especially when i stayed in redbloodmoon.
[Gina! Can i talk to the witch over there?]
'I don't think that's a good idea.'
[Why not?]
'It's not a living being.'
[What does that mean?]
'It's a nightcrawler, a being that's been made by your own fear, consciousness.'
[I-I made that thing?!]
'Likely, it's been feeding on your fear for a while now. You've been creating your nightmares Christal, nightmares that are actually warnings that you know yourself.'
I was taken back when Gina explained it to me, so i was the one who created that thing, that means.. i could control it?
I'm not a fan of horror movies but being in one actually won't make me more fond of it. My eyes widened in horror when the presence disappeared outside the border lines, instead i saw the witch that thought it was infront of me.
Standing in its black form, it stood about 7ft, making weird noises. My face paled up being unable to move or speak, why was this happening to me? I actually have heard of NightCrawlers before. It's a rare type of lost soul that feeds on fear to be able to continue walking in the night.
Thankfully the door bursts open and the dark thing disappeared.
Herus.
He was about to say something of it wasn't for the current position i was at, closing his mouth he smirks. "Why do you look so scared just now?"
"None of your business." I said, my fear quickly turning into bitterness.
"Then shall we talk about real business right now?"
"Not interested."
"You can't be not interested ya know."
"Fuck off." I said before standing up and going towards the door, facing him eye to eye. "Before i break your bones, which you don't want because you're next line to Alpha right?"
His mood quickly changes as he pushes me slightly, because i took my guard off i was slightly pushed back and he closed the door behind him. He grabs my neck before i could even counter him, and pins me onto the door. His eyes turning dark, he growls at me.
"You don't get to act like a princess around me got that?"
I grinned, making him more annoyed. "Who says anything about a princess? Aren't i more of a cursed bitch like you're trying to think right now?"
He lets go. "That's right, remember your place."
"Tsk." Then walk pass him, bumping my shoulders to his.
"We're both not in the mood to talk business right now, maybe tomorrow in your brother's office you'll finally start obeying me, see you there." He grins.
Because he was facing my back, i turned a heel to look at him and raised my hand, pointing my middle finger towards him.
He bangs the door shut.
Heh, he deserves a hundred of these fingers, i rolled my eyes.
Well two annoying things just showed up, first the nightcrawler and now that Herus guy showed up, actually the second one was more shittier if i may say. Ugh why is my life so messed up.
I wish i didn't remember everything like i do now.
"Too late for regrets." I sighed, i marched around my room and think for a while.
I really have to stop being lazy and start devising a plan to get all this misfortunes kept coming right at me stop. Speaking of misfortune, there's no doubt the Heavens still has their eyes on me. I need to cleanse my soul.
Seriously i do.
But i have too many sins just to be cleansed like that, but haven't i suffered enough? Dear Moon Goddess when will everything be at peace?
Once a again the door opens, Carly as expected. "Oh my Gosh! What was that?! I just saw the alpha of stone pack marching out from your room!"
"Correction, he's not yet an Alpha."
"Shut up! What happened? Did you guys quarell or something? How come i didn't know you had some kind of relationship with him!"
"Calm down woman!" I slap her both cheeks. "You really need to chill your tits! There's no way in hell i would be in any relationship with that guy, he can go to hell."
She frowns, sitting on my bed she groans. "What a waste he looks really handsome."
"Yeah but he's really ugly on the inside."
"Who cares! he looks damn fine!"
I rolled my eyes. "I don't have time to flirt coz somebody's trying to kill me."
"Stop making excuses!"
"I am not making excuses!" I replied.
"But you are!"
"Am not!"
"Come on! It's been a month, is something stuck in your ass that you won't get out of this house."
I slapped my forehead in depression. "I'm not lying Carly, somebody is really out there to get me."
She stops arguing for a while but then comes back at me again. "Nope i don't believe you, i'll believe until i see someone direct a dagger towards you."
I sighed. "Fine let's go out, whatever makes you happy."
