Leaving part 2

I walked to to the door and reached my hand to open the door. Inside it was clean. Someone had put a small bunch of flowers on the table. I walked around the place to see where everything was. It was small but cute. For a cottage so far out it was really maintained. It was clean and tidy. There were fresh bed linen on the bed. It was light and airy. I was slightly surprised for a cottage so far away and on the edge of the border the sun light streamed through the windows. 

I walked to the kitchen and looked through the cupboards. I opened the fridge and was surprised it was stocked. I put the kettle on to make a camamile tea. My body was exhausted, with everything over the past few months everything seemed lighter now. Then my thoughts went to the man named grandad. I don't even remember him. I can't even recall my parents ever taking me to see him. Where exactly did he live? My shoulders lifted and I held my head up. At least I would be away from theses idiots. 

After my tea was made, I went and sat out on the white bench that was in the front garden. The sunlight was streaming through the trees. Birds were chirping, in the distance I could hear wolves howling. I heard a sound it was like running water. I got up and walked around the back of the cottage. There was a stream running right behind the cottage. On the other side the forest narrowed and I could see some green fields in the distance. 

The winds breeze blew gently across the bushes and shrubs. Leaves were moving gently and I saw deer in the distance. I walked around to the front. Here didn't seem so bad. I found it was quite lovely here. But being deep in the forest on the edge of the border cut off from everyone was going to be lonely. At least in three days I would be leaving. I was infact looking forward to it. Somewhere new me and my baby. At least no one would bother us. I sat there drinking my tea, I noticed the flowers bordered in the front garden. I seemed to of relaxed a little. 

That evening it turned darker quicker, the moon rose high in the sky and it was so bright. The night sky was clear no clouds. The stars were out in the thousands. At around eleven oclock I locked up and went to my room. I left the curtains open a bit just to leave a little moonlight peak through. My thoughts went to Cylus as normal he didn't come to see me as he said he would. It didn't surprise me in the least. I closed my eyes and settled down to sleep. 

Morning came surprisingly fast. The sun beamed through the ajar curtains. I took a deep breath and pulled back the covers. I walked out to the kitchen and opened the window. The sound of the stream was relaxing. I made a lemon tea and walked out to the front and sat down on the bench. I have to say it was so relaxing and quiet. 

I was taking in the morning sun when a vehicle approached and stopped by the fence. The door opened and Jake stepped out. He adjusted his suit and walked over. I never spoke to him. 

"Jayla." 

I looked at him but kept silent. He stood there waiting for some sort of reaction but it never came. He stepped forward. He handed a black card to me. I never took it. His hand holding it in mid air. He coughed lightly the awkwardness between us. 

"Jayla, Alpha said he apologised for not coming last night, he said he wants you to go buy yourself something nice. There is a party tonight and the Alpha wants you to attend."

"A party? for who?"

"It's for Janet." I didn't fail to notice his fist clenching at his side.

I put my cup down and stood up and looked him straight in the eye. There is no reason for me to go. Take the card back. I don't want no part of it.

I turned and walked back inside leaving him standing there. Jake stood there not knowing what to say. After a few minutes he turned, got in the car and left. Why did he send Jake? why didn't he come himself? I walked to the book shelf, took a book and settled down to read. 

That evening I cooked myself some food. I sat at the tiny dining table next to the kitchen window. The sun was starting to set and the night life started to stir. I sat in the lounge reading after I had eaten. I was disturbed when there was a knock on the door. I put my book down and opened the door. My aunty was standing there holding a basket full of goodies. Aunty came in and sat down. We talked for a while before she left to go home. 

It was getting late, so I decided to take a shower and head to bed. The following morning came and it was another beautiful sunny day. Today I decided to take a walk, I didn't want to be cooped up in the cottage for the next 2 days. I walked along the path and came across a meadow with herbs planted around. But the patch of Lavender over in the next small meadow was amazing. I picked some and took them home. 

The rest of the day passed by slowly. I felt pressure inside my head. I knew it was Cylus trying to mind link but no way was I going to lower it. I didn't want to talk to him, I didn't want anything to do with him period. I ignored it but as the minutes passed by the fore was getting a little intense.
