“No Mickel,”I said stepping back,”I been at another pack.”
He stepped forward and slapped my face. He started to yell at me to wake up and I felt like I was being shaken as I finally came to my sense that I was dreaming. I woke up as I saw that Jason, Marvin, and a nurse was over me. How long was I asleep for? I sat up as Jason was inches from my face and he was leaning over me.
He moved away as I rose up and swung my feet over the edge. I was so lost in thought and just needed time to understand it all. I’ve been here for eight years and not once has that dream ever came to me. Was I really going insane or something? I stood up as Jason told the nurse to help me outside so I could get some fresh air. She obeyed and we walked all the way there in silence.
I loved being outside for that was where I felt free and could do anything. I closed my eyes as the cool air hit my fragile body. I could tell December was coming soon for two reasons. One, it is November and my little brother’s birthday was today, November 25. Second, my wolf lived to be in the snow and the cold air it was born in. I was born December 25 on a full moon, so I was called the Full Christmas Moon Baby, by our alpha, Adrian Morris.
I went to sit by a rock as the cool air went over my body and calmed my nerves down. I loved this feeling of being in control of things and not the lack of it. It helped me contamed the wolf on the inside. She wanted to go to Jason and let him help but I wanted to stay away from him and be me.
“Odd what had happen?”Kristy said walking out to me,”Everyone didn’t see you this morning.”
“Nightmare got me,”I said looking up.
She gasped at me as if it was really noticeable. I looked at the ground as my bare shoulders was hit by the the cool breeze. I couldn’t understand it one bit but I had to figure something out fast. I looked at Kristy as she sat with me and the nurse left.
~~~~Jason~~~~
I had walked into her having an attack of some sorts. I watched her hand move in a pattern as she was trying to do something. I had raced to get paper and she wrote out three little words on it before we finally got her to wake up and sent her out for air. I went to my room to hide it from Marvin since he would use it against her.
I looked at it as the words were there in plain sight. She would have to explain it sooner or later to us all. I put it on the table as I traced the words with my fingers. They didn’t make sense to me but maybe it would to someone else. Someone from that pack that was here on the paper. Was she feeling guilty for it?
“Jason what was that?”Marvin asked.
“I don’t know,”I snapped hiding the paper,”But she must be having those every night or something.”
“It could be because she doesn’t belong here,”He said taking a seat,”She knows that and it is getting to the little low life.”
“Her name is Adere,”I snapped at how he called her that,”She is apart of this pack and I will not have that from my beta.”
“I’m just saying,”He said in mock surrender,”She has to be from somewhere else. She could be a little spy sent here to gain your trust then destroy you.”
“She wouldn’t do that.”
“You don’t know that. She is the fastest one here and we all know that. Jase she could be doing this to hurt you.”
“Marve I don’t want to see that part. She could have had a bad past and just need to let go of it all.”
~~~~Adere~~~~
“So then he slapped me,”I finished telling Kristy my dream as we walked into the house again,”He would never have done that to me. We were too close for any of that to have start up.”
“I don’t know Adere,”She said nicely,”It sounds like you are afraid of going back but at the same time want to. Is there something you’re not telling me here?”
I looked at my friend as her grey eyes looked into mine with so much trust. I have never told anyone about how my dad died. It was my secret and I didn’t feel right telling people about that for it was heart breaking. I sighed and shook my head ‘No’ for I was not ready for them to know about that.
I ran to my room and took down my sound proofing gear. Then walked over to my closet and picked out a black t-shirt that read ‘Born to be Wild’ and my favorite blue jean shorts. I changed into them and walked out as Jason grabbed my arm. He pulled me into his room for some reason.
I was thrown into a chair as he closed the door. He walked over and made me face forward. He circled me like prey as I sat there getting scared by the minute as he did this. I looked to my left to see Marvin was over there with a stupid smile on his face. I sat still as I was afraid of what would happen if I stood up.
“What happened this morning,”Jason started,”I want to know something about your past.”
“Yes,”I said knowing I wouldn’t get out of this for both Marvin and me could smell a lie from a mile away,”What would that be, Master?”
“What made you so protective over it?”He said winking at me,”What had happen to make you join this pack?”
“I had a very bad experince,”I said eyeing Marvin,”I had to watch someone close like very close to me surfer.”
“She’s lying,”He said walking over to me,”She has not seem that kind of pain.”
“Says who,”I said looking up at him.
“Me.”
“Well you are mistaking.”
“Then who was it?”
“My father died when I was only ten,”I said as tears started to pour down,”He was the one I watched suffer for me live today.”
“Marvin leave us,”Jason said rubbing my shoulders as I let the tears go.
He did and I was there sitting in my chair as I was now a broken mess. I never cried here for it was a sign of weakness. I looked at Jason as he sat in front of me with a rag. He whipped my tears away as I looked into his perfect grey eyes. They held the world to me but I didn’t want to ruin his life with mine.
“I want to show you something,”He said going behind me,”I just need you to stay still for me.”
“Ok,”I said straightening up for him.
I felt a brush go through my hair as I thought this was weird to me. He was brushing my knotty hair for what he wanted to show me. Then I felt it get tacking back as he began to do something with it. This is weird since the only people who have ever touched my hair was Mickel, Mr. Adrain, my mom, and Dad. I didn’t have an older sibling to teach me how to do stuff like this, so I usually left it down and it cover the scar on my neck for me.
I sat there as he did what he wanted to and didn’t question it. Soon the song of the day for my old pack flowed through the room. He had the window open for them to sing to us. I closed my eyes as Fix you by Coldplay was sung by Mickel. He seemed to be hurting from it all.
I swayed a little as Jason seemed to be laughing at me a little bit. I didn’t mind since I was all about the music at this time of day. I would normally go to the top of the roof and listen to them, if Jason didn’t need me. It helped me clear my mind on it ALL and with Marvin that was a blessing to take in. I let the song play as I started to hum along with it. Soon Jason spun me around and I opened my eyes up to see he was smiling at it. I gave him a confused look as he gave me a mirror to look in.
I did and saw a french braid that went from the left side of my head and met the rest of my hair into the braid down my back. It showed my scar and It was so beautiful that I was afraid to touch it. How did he know how to do this kind of stuff? I could barely make a bun in my hair let alone make a single braid.
“My older sister taught me that before she left with her mate,”He said sitting on his bed,”She said that it was a good skill to learn for when I was a father.”
“My dad use to do this kind of braid for me,”I said remembering Mickel trying to do it,”He said it was the best one for a young girl to wear for it showed her…”
“Strength from the inside out,”He said smiling,”I would always make fun of her for it but it was a real booster to her and she hits pretty hard.”
“Thank you Jason,”I said standing up,”But I must go now for I got kitchen duty today.”
“Bring mine up here,”He said as I left the room with a smile on my face.
I got my Ipod and let that song go on replay as my earbuds blasted the song into my ears. I let my fingers run over the braid as I walked into the kitchen to see my weird friends staring at me. Alex clapped as I twirled for them all. It was my little way of saying hello to them. I grabbed my mittens and went over to get the bowl of chili off the stove. I held it as Kristy made the bowls for everyone to take. We waited to do our for they would have wanted to be here first.
Marvin walked in and sat at the table as Kristy went to his aid. Adrain was out giving his person his bowl as I made up Jason’s. I went to the cabinet and got out the crackers for him. I looked at Marvin as he eyed me evilly as if he was up to something.
“Staring won’t help you,”I said getting the drink and food on a tray.
“Maybe not for long Low Life,”He said as I walked by,”But you should go ahead and go back to the hole you crawled out of.”
I ignored the comment as I walked by and up to Jason’s room. I heard talking then ripping was sounded through the hallway. I went in as he looked hurt at the dead Macey on the ground. She was his slutty girlfriend who had cheated on him with Kelp and he was sent to live in the wild. I guess she ticked Jason off a little too much.
“I’ll clean this up as you eat something,”I said buzzing the maids.
“I will never be love,”He said sadly and my heart broke.
“You’re loved trust me,”I said as the maids got to work.
