I smiled, my bestfriend really missed me huh. I've been too busy in redbloodmoon that i hadn't anytime to think about her at all but i do know she's safe, and that's enough for me. Seeing her giggling and happy around me makes me feel safe all of a sudden. Makes me feel that everything was normal. I was actually going out for a good reason, i thought of finding some witches to help me solve my problem, nightcrawlers.
"Hey you ready yet?" Carly call out.
"Just a sec." i mumbled as i wear the leather jacket that laid on my bed. Closing the door behind me, a smiling Carly appears.
"What now?" I rolled my eyes.
"We need to get permission from your brother."
"Do we really need to?"
"Yes, you don't want your bestfriend's head rolling around somewhere right?" She pouts.
"That would be interesting actually."
Her face turning into complete horror, i laughed telling her it was only a joke. After that good laugh, i knew i wouldn't be laughing anymore since i'm ought to see my brother. My fucked up brother, who's been lying from me ever since they wiped my memory.
Walking a few more, i spotted my brother's office then told Carly to wait for me downstairs, she quickly nods. I made my way towards his room and clicked the door open, without caring if he would let me in or nah.
Of course he would.
"I need permission to go outside." I blurted out. I was surprised to see Herus but didn't cared anyways, my brother sighing in annoyance he stood up.
"Can't you knock?"
"Can't you just give me permission to go out." I shot back.
"That can wait, don't disturb us we're in the middle of talking." Crossing his arms like a father.
I rolled my eyes. "Then just give me the permission then i wouldn't have to disturb you talking with a dipshit of a person."
Herus smirks, but didn't say anything.
"Language." He growls.
"Whatever."
But the most annoying part was seeing Herus face amused, he eyes me up and down and i almost puked. Wish i can puked at his face, i gave him disgusted look. "Tape your eyes old man."
He laughs then glanced at my brother.
"Pardon my sister, she's just a teenager." My brother laughing it off. He finally looks at me then nods. "Fine go out, you have my permission."
"Finally." I said then headed outside, not wanting to last longer in that room filled with Herus. The sound of my shoes echoed around the house as i got downstairs, a few pack members surprised to see me in here.
Well truthfully speaking that one month was literally one month in my own room, not going out or anything. My food was always brought to me.
"Let's go!" Carly brightens up when she saw me, we walked towards my car, it's been so long since i drove huh.
"Did jason told the others ?"
"Yeah he told through mind link to let our car out within the border lines."
"Good." I said. Staring the car then driving out the pack house as intended.
My original plan is going out and having fun with my bestfriend because she wants to, then find information about NightCrawlers. We were heading to the City.
"Do you have any shades or glasses ?" I asks.
"Why? There's literally no sunlight and it's almost winter season."
"Stop spouting too much and just give me a damn shades."
"Fine fine!" She raises her hands in defeat.
As i waited for her to hand me the thing that i was asking for, i detected Herus following us from behind. My mood quickly declining, as mountains of thoughts ran through my mind.
What the actual fuck!
I slammed down the breaks, making carly splat on the glass infront of her. "Shit my nose Christal! Why did you suddenly stop?!"
"Shhhhh!"
"What shhhh?!"
"Shut up for a while will you? Someone's following us."
She wanders her eyes for a while. "What? I don't detect someone in range."
"In your range you won't, he's about 5 kilometers away from us."
Her eyes widened. "You can detect someone from that range? Woah."
I rolled my eyes.
When we stopped he also stopped, i don't know if i should confront him now but one thing's for sure. He's really following us, and my brother surely let him. I groaned in frustration then got out of the car.
"Hey! Where are you going!" Carly shouts.
"Stay there." I said then closed the door, walking towards the back of my car.
I stared at a distance, widening my eye sight i slowly kneeled and touched the ground below me the. Tried to detect his heat wave.
There you are.
I growled ferociously, taunting him to come over. He must've noticed that i was facing him even in a distance like this, seeing that he quickly disappeared from the tree he was currently before and was running towards me with full speed.
In just a minute he was infront of me.
We both stared at each other, but actually i was glaring at him. "Why were you following us?"
"Not gonna hide it from you, but we all know you got a habit of running away." He says, his face blank.
"So? My brother sent you to guard me? The future alpha of stone pack following me around like a pet."
"I came with my own will."
I rolled my eyes. "Fuck your will then, don't follow us anymore." Turning away and heading back to my car.
He suddenly grabs my wrists, forcing me to face him. His eyes darkens. "There's a limit to your stubbornness, you won't get away again."
I slapped his hand away. "I'm not planning anything so fuck off!" Glaring at him then getting in my car.
"What was that about?" Carly asks.
Without glancing back, i stamped on the gas and left him there, but as expected he was still following us. I groaned in annoyance i knew this was bound to happen, i pick up the speed as i saw the city coming into my view.
I remember last time coming here, it was when i first escaped from my own pack to avoid meeting any mates if possible, the reason why i wanted to borrow shades from Carly was because i had a doppelgänger on this place, a human star. I mean she's famous that's why people pestered me the first time i came here.
The name Athena?
Then i remember that i should wear a disguise again to avoid people pestering me in here, slapping carly's thigh i said. "shades."
"It's broken." She rolls her eyes. "When you stopped so suddenly back there i almost broke a bone so ofcourse my bag was also crushed too, even my make up." She pouts.
"Damn it."
"Why do you even have to? Are you blind."
"Look! I have a doppelgänger here! And she's freakin famous so shut up and just buy me shades." I finally said.
"What? That's so cool! Did you talk to her? Isn't like looking-"
"No i haven't seen her before."
"What? Then how did you- ohhh you said she was famous so humans knew you?"
I nodded.
"Got it, i'll get you glasses." She replies.
When we were finally in the city i parked somewhere near a mall. Telling Carly to get me shades then meet me up in the car again, since i can't get out while looking like a famous human around here. She got off and i waited.
He's still here, i thought.
Whatever, he's just here to monitor me if i ever run away but i don't have any plans to do so, so he can waste his time for all i care.
After 20 minutes thankfully my bestfriend came back then gave me the glasses, i quickly wore it then got out of the car.
As i walked side by side with Carly, i couldn't help but detect a few rogues walking pass us too, they also notice us that's why it's a bit too dangerous. Hopefully no one knew me here that's planning to kill me.
We went several stores, shopping for common stuffs like bag, jewelry and clothes. We bought many as far as we can carry it. It was actually fun doing this i didn't even noticed that we were shopping for 3 hours already.
"It's been five hours." I laughed.
"Yeaah let's stop for today, i don't think i can carry more of these things." She giggled. I nodded then we headed back to the car.
"You go ahead."
"What?" Her eyes widened. "Christal we're going home, WE're. You see that W and E there?"
"I'll come back i promise, i just need to tend to some few business here."
"Are you sure you won't run away?" She frowns.
I smiled. "I would tell you if i will so shut up and get in the car. Drive safely." We said our goodbyes after giving her the car keys.
