Chapter 3

Stella's POV

The girl goes to walk toward Thomas. A hand shoots out to stop her. It is another teenage boy with brownish red hair and muddy brown eyes. An ugly sneer that is probably permanently plastered to his face. "You aren't gong anywhere Hannah," he tells her. A look of pure evil in his eyes. "You are my girlfriend," he adds. Thomas growls "Mine" he hisses. "Jarred he is my mate," she yells with a look of pure fear on her face. "I don't care if he's the king of the fucking world, you are mine," Jarred shouts at her.

Thomas growls about to lunge but Kai throws his hand out to stop him. "If she wants to come with me, she's coming with me. You understand?" Thomas tells him. Jarred laughs. "Wha,t are you going to do about it? There's three of you and some girl, I like our odds better," he adds. "I feel offended," I say to the boys He goes to pounce. I think of fire.

The group of rouges start grabbing their heads and screaming in pain. "Stop, make it stop," Jarred screams. They collapse on the floor. I walk over to Jarred grab him by the face and look him straight in the eyes. They widden in shock. I then use another power I am definitely not supposed to use. My paents call it persuasion; I call it... mind control. I say to him "she is coming with us okay," he nods. "You will forget she ever existend and go on with your life," I pause. "And stop being suck a dick," I add. he sinsks back looking confused. His rogue friends have long left him. He stands up "What am I doing here?" he asks. "Sleepwalking" I say with a smile. "Oh sorry," he says walking away. He keeps looking back at us as he leaves.

I should not have used mind control. I know it is wrong. I could not help it though. I felt like it was an emergency, but it still made me feel bad. The raw power I felt using it could become intoxicating that is why I only use it when I have to. "Holy shit! That was bad-fucking-ass," Sean said. "Will you marry me?" he added. I looked over at all of them feeling shame. Thomas' arms were wrapped around his new mate. She looked very sall and timid in his arms. He held her like he would never let her go. "Your name is Hannah right? Nice to meet you, I'm Thomas. I have been looking everywhere for you," He brings her in for a kiss. 

We start walking towards my apartment. I look at Hannah and realize she needs some cleaning up. She is very quiet. I wonder how long she has been on the streets. I don't dare ask. Once we get back to my apartment, I show her the bathroom and give her a spare outfit. I am quite a bit taller than she is but it is warm out so I give her a pair of cotton shorts and a T-shirt. "Use whatever you need in the shower," I tell her with a smile. She smiles back and says "Thanks."

I go back to the living room where the boys are sitting. "Are we going to talk about what you just did?" Devonte asks. Everyone looks at me as I think of what to say. "Okay so I am not supposed to use mind control. Before you ask no I don't know why I am able to do what I do. No one knows." I tell them. "Wow," Kai says shaking his head. "Yeah it got me into tons of trouble when I was younger, trust me. I am also the only witch I have ever seen that does not use spells," I add. Kai just frowns. "I think it's awesome," Sean says. "She saved our asses from a fight thats for sure," Devonte adds.  "Oh and we can't forget that she completely bought Thomas here back to life," Sean smiles smacking Thomas on the back. I hear the shower turn off. "Hey boys lets go get some food and leave Thomas and Hannah here to get to know each oter a little better," I say winking at Thomas. He just grins. "My bedroom is totally off limits though," I say narrowing my eyes at him. "Deal" he says.
