Chapter Four:
"I know this is hard to grasp, but you have to believe me when I say that yo-" I just can't be hearing this. I cut her off. Jumping up from my spot on the bed next to her.
"NO! Just stop please; I have heard too much today and I can't take one more crazy idea ok? So please just stop." I say, tears starting to fall down my cheeks. I mean how crazy is that!? A female has to have a guy with her for her transformation, when she is at her most vulnerable and in a naked state. I just couldn't do that, not with someone I just met.
I storm out of the room and down a long hallway, through a tall heavy wooden door and into the cool breeze. I just start running. I remember back to what Elder Wilde said, about how my mothers mate Jonathan. How she left him after her transformation. I guess she just used him to get through her transformation, she never loved him, or else she would have stayed. And what is with my biological father? He had an affair with my mother? When he was still married to Rafe's mom? It looks like my mother didn't have good luck with the male species, well that makes two of us. I've never been in love, and I wasn't going to start now. I wasn't going to let some male shifter be there for my transformation, to be my so-called mate. I mean look how well that turned out for my mother. I have to prove to myself I'm strong enough to do this by myself, when my mother wasn't. I know they say I will die, but who knows maybe there is a loophole. All I need to do is find it.
I notice I stopped running. I look around and see I am in a clearing, flowers around me and I can hear birds chirping. It is the most peaceful place I have been too, so I lay down and put my head on a cold smooth rock. I let my eyelids close and sleep surround me.
I let myself for a little while forget what has happened and I just lay there and listen the songs of the birds. And I feel the slight breeze on my cheek. This forest, its like…it feels like home, nothing has ever felt like home. At that moment I know I belong here that this is the place I should be as for everything else I just wish it out of my mind I just enjoy my sweet bliss of the forest of the wilderness.
"Jennifer?" I hear a faint voice call out my name. My eyelids flutter open to find Rafe standing over me, his black hair falling in his face, a face that resembles mine. I'm surprised and flinch back, he does the same.
"I'm sorry, I was out patrolling when I saw you laying here, I wanted to see if you were alright. You know everyone is looking for you. You should get back." He mumbles crossing his arms over his chest; I just roll my eyes, while I get back on my feet and brush of the dirt.
"I can't, Its all just too much. The shifter thing, my transformation, the kidnapping, the mate thing, and my biological father" I cough, well shit way to tumble into that one Jenn… "well our father." I say glancing up at him.
"He was never a father to me, and you will never be a sister." He growls out and turns to walk back into the deep dark forest. I whip my head up and growl right back at him "He was never a father to me either! Or did you forget, he left me then my mother died all I want is closure, maybe a.." I sigh loudly in frustration…"brother…god, I don't know, but I guess I'll never know since you seem to hate me so much!" I didn't know where that last part came from, but its true he seems to hate me, for no reason at all. I am as confused and frustrated as he is. This is knew to me too.
He stops and lowers his head sighing. He turns back around and looks at me with a sad expression. Something I didn't expect from him.
"Umm.. Look Jennifer, I don't hate you, I'm sorry I said that, its just whenever I talk about him I cant help but to react badly, its always been like that. You see you're lucky you never knew him, I'm glad you didn't, who knows what he would have done to you. You see he was a hopeless, pathetic drunk who beat on his kid. I wish I could forget him, that's why I was angry when you came, you made those memories come back, the memories I wish to forget." He says walking closer. I nod my head looking down. God dang Jenn no wonder he's mad.. Have some sensitivity.
"I'm so sorry I had no idea. I would never have guessed something so terrible." I say looking up to see his sad face.
"I dealt with that a long time ago. His blood may run through my veins…umm our veins, but I will never be like him. His mistakes and awfulness taught me how to be a stronger person, taught me life doesn't come so easily too some off us." He says looking up into the sky.
"Your right it doesn't." I say following his gaze, looking up to see the sun starting to peek out of the horizon. I look back at him.
"Rafe I know it's hard for you but could you try? I mean, I don't have any family left, don't get me wrong I love my adoptive parents but they don't understand, they don't know about all this, you do. You could explain it all to me; tell me about my family, the good and the bad. Along the way maybe we could be friends…only if you want." I say, at this point I am so desperate, I am willing to ask my stranger, some one I've known for a few hours for help. Help me try to make since in all of this.
He looks at me and crosses his arms. "I will try Jenn, I will try." With that he smiles and tells me to follow him back to Wolford. I smile to myself maybe this could be good, a brother…gosh I have…a bother..
"Oh thank god! I am so sorry Jennifer I didn't mean to make you upset I just thought you should know!" Kayla runs up to me and pulls me into a bear hug. Lindsay walks over to Rafe and lightly kisses him on the cheek. We all walk back into the building and sit in the sitting area together. Lucas, Daniel, Connor, Brittany, Hayden and finally Jake come and join us.
"Look ill stay here until my transformation but only if you guys let me help you find are after us and who kidnapped me." I say my head held high. I glance over at Jake who looks to be studying me, so I look away.
" The Dark Guardians and the Elders have already begun the hunt to look for them Jennifer, I can promise we will find them and make them pay for what they have done." Lucas says sitting next to Kayla wrapping him arm protectively around her. For a second I find myself craving what all these couples seemed to have, complete and unbreakable love for each other.
