Unknown POV
I watched the events unfold in front of me in the hallway. I didn't get involved like always, I never do. I stay off to the side and keep away from her. I don't want to get too close; she might find out about me and how I feel for her and that wouldn't be good for either of us. The newcomer was rude and arrogant, in all honesty I wanted to go over and punch him, but as karma decided, I didn't have to.
That's my girl I thought. Beautiful and shy but dangerous if pushed too far I thought as I watched her punch him right in the nose. I continued to watch their interaction, she was on fire, not only can she stand up for herself she is a little sarcastic too. Finishing their back and forth moment in the hallway, he was walking passed with Erica I swear I almost threw up. Trust arrogant preppy looking boys to be around their own.
"She doesn't even know who she is, it's a shame really, so beautiful too,"! I said out loud not meaning to.
I turned and headed out the fire exit. Every day that was the way I left school, this way no one saw me make the portal I used to return back to the place I call home now. Stepping through, I closed it quickly behind me. Putting my bag on the couch and walking into the kitchen. Blake came over and asked his usual questions. How was my day, did I finally talk to her, did I learn anything new about her. My answers are always the same, no, no and um no. I grabbed a juice from the fridge and walked upstairs to my room.
I laid down on my bed thinking of how today turned out and the newcomers' rudeness. He is going to be a problem, I just know it. I stood up and went to go into my bathroom to have a shower and get ready for dinner when I felt dizzy and unsteady on my feet. I slumped back onto my bed, my head in my hands, my eyes shut tightly at the pain. It was a flashback. I had these sometimes but they are getting more and more frequent.
I left home at fifteen because I found out what my mother did for a living and what she was. I knew it wouldn't matter to her if I was her son or not. She'd kill me like the rest of them if she found out my secret. I wasn't like a normal human, I was different. I craved different things with food, company as friends and I found myself alone a lot because I hurt those who got close, I burnt my bridges with them you could say.
I was lucky when I left home, my mother didn't care and didn't try to find me or so I thought. I was in the human world, working at the local gas station when a man came in looking Pale and honestly like death. He was tall and had a sense of mystery and power about him. I couldn't see any more of his features. They were hidden under a hat and a scarf, he wore a long trench coat too. But for some reason I was drawn to him. When he left the gas station, I followed him. He went into the woods not too far down the street, not giving a second thought to leaving in the middle of my shift.
He stood in the middle of a small clearing and with his hands did some weird movements and bam, a portal looking thing opened. He walked through it like it was nothing and before I could process anything, my legs started moving on their own and you guessed it, I was running to the portal and I jumped through. Stupid move I know I felt stupid in that moment to.
It wasn't long after I jumped through, that I landed on my face on the other side of the portal, he was standing right in front of me. I was petrified and didn't know what to do. I thought he was going to kill me. I couldn't look up, I was that scared. He picked me up roughly by the back of my neck, with one hand like I was a rag-doll to face him. I watched him open his mouth and his teeth extended. Oh, shit, this is a vampire, wait their real, was the only thoughts I had right then and there. I didn't want to die but the fact vampires are real was a bit of a shock.
Just as he went to sink his fangs into my neck, I felt myself changed, not sure how I did it but I did. The vampire was so stunned at my transformation that he stood there silent, shortly after he dropped me onto the ground and then told me to follow him. I shifted that night for the first time. I knew I was different from the humans I grew up with. I just didn't know, it was this kind of different. I came to learn that I was also different from most in this world too. I learnt what they call what I did and so much more. The vampire took me to his place and helped me learn how to control shifts, the powers I have and my anger1.
That became an issue, my anger. He showed me how to go unnoticed and we trained. Hand to hand combat, weapons, using my shifted form as one with my human side for a better outcome, in case my mother came looking which we knew she would eventually. It took two years but like he said she showed up. She tried to kill me and the man who helped me.
I had to make the ultimate decision that day and it was let my mother and those she brought with her kill Blake and I or kill them first. You can guess what happened because I'm still here and so is Blake but not without the scars to prove it. It was one hell of a fight that day. Since then we have been trying to find out who gave her what she needed to make a portal big enough to be able to bring so many here with her.
In the process of trying to track down who was working with my mother on this side of the plane we ended up in the middle of a hairy situation that landed us in the dungeon of The Vampire King. It took a few months but it allowed us intel. Blake and I even got a place beside him with his assassins. A rank like no other, it was the highest or high rankings, so much so including Blake and I there are only ten of us.
The King of Vampires keeps us hidden and for good reason. The king received word that something he once lost may have been found. I have been kept out of the details, which I don’t mind because I trust Blake and The King. All I was told to do was go to The spring Hollow Pack and see what I can find out, anything out of place or a miss there. So that's where I have been the last 6 weeks, maybe one day she’ll notice me, thinking this because of the thoughts of that school.
Finally snapping out of my little memory lane trip, I stood up and slowly walked to my bathroom. I got in the shower, the water even though it's cold, it relaxes me and calms me down, I don't really like hot showers. It wasn't long before one knock sounded on the bathroom door followed by Blake telling me it's time, make an appearance at the pack then stay out of sight you know where to go and get ready. War is coming very soon. The orders have been given.
Finishing my shower, I got out and got dressed. I have roughly one month to make sure everything is ready. More importantly, I am ready. She turns 18 in a month, everything has to be done by then. I'm not sure if I can go through with it but we will find out soon.
I pack my things and walk down stairs, Blake is ready to go. I nod to him, we walk out the front door and he takes a deep breath. I do the same, we look back at the house once as we make our way to the car, I look at Blake and this time it's his turn to nod to me. I smile weakly at him, turning back to the house I let my inner self take control, within minutes the house is no longer there. We stayed long enough to make sure it was completely gone, only ash and embers were left.
"Time to go" Blake said
"Yeah, it is" I replied
We got in the car and head off to our destination. I liked being the other part of me for awhile. Being at the packs school made me like that side a little bit more. I just hope one day I wont have one thing more dominant then the other. An inward battle everytime. I sighed and closed my eyes. It's a few hours until we are there. I need some rest.
Loclyn POV Standing in a new classroom full of new people again. It's starting to get old. Fourth school in two years. Yay. Not. I thought as the teacher ushered me to Introduce myself to these students. Do I really have to? I thought as I did the same routine as always. I started to introduce myself when I noticed a lonely looking skeleton of a girl at the back of the classroom. She wore a massive hoodie, it's way too hot for jumpers I thought to myself. No sooner, did I catch myself staring at this mysterious girl, she looked up enough for me to catch her eyes. Captivating that was the first thought I had. Her eyes were this Golden yellow, streaks of pearlescent, running through them like lighting shards. I've never seen that colour before. It had me entranced. They were beautiful and round. Her hair from what I could see was blonde, but the tips were a very light reddish pink. Strawberry blonde hair I corrected myself. She was stunning in every way and had my undivided attentio
Unknown POV Busting through the doors of the cafeteria still angry with the events of 10 minutes ago I saw Wendy look up at me. The smile had gone instantly, and her arms crossed over her chest. Not much startles this woman and I sure didn't but she doesn't like it when people are stomping around and sulking like I just did. "Sorry Wendy" I sing out to her on the other side of the cafeteria. "That's quite alright dear but don't make it a habit" she says in a gentle but firm way.Walking straight towards Wendy, who is the best lunch lady in the world. So beautiful and elegant even for her old age. Long blonde hair is always in a perfect bun. Gorgeous light blue eyes that sing with gentleness especially when she smiles. She is always well dressed and happy. Her smile, so soft and warm. She is what I would imagine a mother to look like. Her voice is soothing and calming. Her hands are smooth and soft to the touch. Just what I imagine a mother to sound and feel like. She was the anatom
Loclyn POV After watching her interaction with the lunch lady and listening to what was said, I had a smirk on my face. Of course, everyone wanted to find their mates. What did she mean by asking if she had one? Is she some sort of ninja mutant possum thing I wondered having a quiet little chuckle to myself. As she was leaving, I called out to her, but she didn't turn around or even acknowledge that she heard me. Maybe she didn't, but I swear she saw me. "Hmmm, a bit rude isn't she"? I said to no one. Maybe she was worried that I came just to abuse her or even hit her for breaking my nose just before. Either I could have sworn she saw me and heard me. I raced to the doors she just went through. At the back of the school, I thought furrowing my eyebrows. No one goes out the back of the school. There's nothing out there but the forest. Erica did say she lived outside the pack. Maybe that's the way to where she lives. It wasn’t something that is usually unheard, a student living ou
Daydra POV"Ready and..." what the hell I said out aloud. Noticing I wasn't going anywhere.Looking over my shoulder at the reason why I'm not moving. There was a hand holding my hood stopping me from going anywhere."Well, shit just got awkward didn't it."!? Is what I heard "Yes, yes it did. What are you doing?! I asked him "I um, I wanted to.. well.."! He stuttered out."Aaahhhh fuck. I'm going to miss lock in. No, no, no",... was all I could think and didn't realise I voiced it too.Scared shitless, knowing what was coming if I didn't hurry up and leave already. I turned to face him, and he was redder than ever and flustered. Aww how freaking cute I thought. Wait no, after how he spoke to me at the end of school in front of everyone. Leaving with that git Erica. I won't think of him as cute anymore, I told myself. He is just like them, arrogant and self absorbed."Loclyn if it's not important please let go so I can leave."! I said politely I'm royally fucked.The last beating was s
Daydra POVPleading with Loclyn to leave and hearing Demonic stomping towards the door from inside, I started getting so nervous and anxious I thought my heart was going to stop beating.Not knowing what to do I looked straight at Pretty Boy and growled low and quietly hoping Demonic didn't hear me. Loclyn stopped dead still like he heard me and with a slight sigh I looked back to the hopping Loclyn would just walk away. "You're late she beast" he bellowed through the closed door not releasing there was someone other than me outside. I knew better than to bring anyone here and this place wasn't inside the pack grounds. It was by itself. Far enough away for no other wolf or creature to hear my screams when Demonic got a hold of me for doing something against his rules. He didn't want anyone to find out how much of a monster he had become after his mate couldn't take his abuse any longer and left him but not before she severed the ties they had as mates by rejecting him."I am sorry,
Loclyn POV As I headed towards my car, I had this nagging feeling of unease. Not just because it was becoming harder and harder to breathe or because I was practically stumbling along the road, which came out of no where. I felt like I needed to turn around and go back. I kept trying to make it to my car, because Daydra told me to leave and even though I really didn't want to I wasn't about to be, that crazy stalker guy who didn't listen when told no. No matter how hard I tried to get to my car, only a few meters away I couldn't. My footing was becoming more and more unstable with each step. No, I shook my head, she made it clear I had to leave. I don't think this has to do with her telling me to leave and me not wanting. I thought I heard her calling me but my head was pounding with pain, I was unsteady on my feet, my breathing harsh and it was hard to intake the air I needed, so I wasn't sure , if it was her and not just my imagination. Not knowing what to do or what was going on
Daydra POV Standing completely up now Demonic shoved the door open fully and grabbed me by my hair dragging me inside after a quick glance around to make sure no-one saw what just happened. Satisfaction came in the form of a smirk on this sick bastards' face and slamming the door behind him. He dropped me in the entry way as he turned back to lock the door. I struggled to breath, my face dripping with blood and my ribs broken. I tried to scramble to my feet and run but that was a bad move. He noticed, this goddess awful rumbling laugh that came from the man now standing on my leg pinning it to the ground made me screamed in pain as he pressed harder and harder until he heard the crunching of bones and felt the snap under his boot. I couldn't keep silent this time.I would teleport out of here, but I've only done it once and that landed me in the lake and I can't swim, after that time Demonic beat me with a bat and chained me up for, four days, no food or water and whipped me every d
Loclyn POV Smashing through the wall of the shack, cause let's face it, I'm a silly goose but I'm not dumb, we weren't smashing through the metal death door this fuck-face has going on, we picked up the scent of blood.Lots of blood, not just one type there is way more than two or three different scents that we followed to a shitty little wooden door inside the back of the shit shack. Standing there I was bracing myself for what I'll find on the other side when the voice popped up and spoke again. "Open it, dick" I heard the voice again "Oi who are you calling a dick, we are in whatever form this is genius"! I said back to the voice whose name remains a secret apparently. "Oh, my bad, sorry" Loclyn it replied."Who's the dick now," Loclyn smugly said in retort. "Oh, shut up" the voice hissed.Slamming my body against the door we tumbled through as it swung open inwardly, rolling down the stairs and not gracefully I might add. Legs Frailing, arms doing goddess knows what, I am tryi
