Chapter 6-Avira
Never Leave Home When Exausted
The very next day I wake up to see Bomani standing in my doorway twirling a dried up leaf in one hand while he has his other hand behind his back. Others would say he looked so casual but I would say he looked like he was hiding something; I sat up feeling the soreness from all the running I did yesturday. I winced slightly and Bomani obviously saw it since he stopped twirling the leaf he had been holding and dropped it. As the leaf fluttered to the floor he stepped into my room fully and pulled out a stone with a sharp edge.
"I found leaves in your hair last night." Bomani said. "You usually never get leaves in your hair because you love it so much."
"I had been running." I said.
Why did I just say that? He will get mad if he doesn't hear the truth emmediatly. I look at him and see has noticed I did not tell the whole truth which had me grabbing my long hair in my hands. Sure the punishment he hinted at was just to cut my hair but I love my hair it is the only thing remotely normal about me.
"And." he prompted balancing the stone on one finger. "No full truth you get your hair cut short, that would be punishment now but later it may be worse."
I sighed. "I found two shapeshifters in the woods in their animal forms."
"How do you know they are shifters?" he asked.
"I spotted very human-like things in their faces and eyes as well as how they understood me at the same rate as if I were speaking to humans." I explained softly.
Bomani nodded. "Good girl, you can keep your long hair."
"Do you have work today?" I asked.
"Yes, thank you for reminding me. Remember the rule especially now that there's shape shifters deffeniantly in the area"
Later at noon I left the house finally getting the courage to but instead of randomly roaming the forest like yesturday I headed straight to the beach even if the clouds were finally threatening rain. I already knew it rained all day almost every day in this place so it did not surprise to sense rain coming. Still I did not have an umbrella or rain poncho to keep myself dry, which I had to wait until Bomani got his first paycheck to go somewhere to buy one. I just hope I can wait that long, getting wet by rain is slowly starting annoy me even though I have only gotten wet twice.
When I reach the beach I am so exausted- not just from walking here, but from the run yesturday as well, that deffeniantly drained my energy- so I just up and collapse onto my knees next to the boulder I usual go to.
"Are you okay?"
I look up to find a very worried Embry next to me. "Yeah, just exausted."
"It's about to rain, you know?" he said.
"Yes, but I don't want to be home and I can't go anywhere else. "I said. " I also want to find a seashell."
He paused for a moment before replying. "I'll take you to Emily's."
"No." I mumbled.
Embry did not listen to me and picked me up, I gasped in surprise and shock just at that. "Put me down Embry I don't like to be picked up." I said.
"Naw." when he said this he began walking.
It only took a minute while he was walking to wait and then it was beginning to rain lightly, he then entered the forest going the way I go to get to my house. Oh no! I'll have Embry's scent all over me from him carrying me! I wriggled trying to get out of his grip, but he kept a good strong hold on me even though he was yawning showing he was tired as well. Dangit he's too strong, I thought pouting. He eventually turned left which was the opposite direction of my house and he began walking slow then. I rolled my eyes in more annoyance, but oddly I felt safe in his arms that I might not want to be let go if it wasn't for Bomani. But I didn't argue any further knowing I couldn't get out of Embry's grip and that he wouldn't put me down if I asked.
"Embry, why are you so hot?" I yawned.
He laughed. "I was born looking good."
"I meant your body heat, retard." I mumbled.
"I know, well I guess I was born that way to." he chuckled.
Proving I was more exausted than I knew I fell asleep. Stupid! I also realized as I was falling asleep was that it was also me using my ability to find my way home over and over again yesturday that drained me of energy as well. I now feel completely and utterly slow at my realizations.
When I wake up rain was pouring outside making a curtain of dark rainy droplets on the window. I look around a small living room, nobody was in it excpet for Embry who leaned against the couch I lay on while watching baseball on the small TV across the room. Voices came from somewhere in the house which had me sitting up quickly and nearly hopping from the couch to the front door but then an abnormally warm hand grabs my wrist; I turn to see it was EMbry he had stopped me. He smiled at me as if he didn't know I would be in complete trouble with my brother if I don't leave soon, okay well he doesn't.
"Embry I have to leave to go home." I said.
He frowned. "It's ten I dought he'll notice you gone. And its raining too hard."
"I don't care if it's raining and my brother will notice if I'm home or not." I replied.
The voices stopped and I had a sinking feeling that everyone who was and is here as noticed I have woken up and are now eavesdropping. Why they are is what is confusing. Then I facepalmed in my head I just mentioned my brother they are probably curious why I said 'my brother' instead of 'my father'. Oh how questions will arise now if I don't think through what I'm saying like I used to.
"What about your father?" Embry asked, curious.
I froze. "Uh...No father or mother." I said blankly.
"Is your brother very protective of you?" Embry questioned.
"uh...yes." NO! More like the complete opposite. I didn't vocie that thought but it probably showed in my eyes. "So I better get home before he..uh, worries."
He nodded, slightly unbeleiving. "Then I'll get you home once the rain lets up so..."
"Reel, his name is Reel." I took the hint of him wanting to know my brother's name, even though I just gave him a fake name just like when I introduced myself.
"Yes, so Reel won't worry." he nodded.
Embry kept his word though the rain did not let up until like four in the morning and it still was raining by the time I was home. There was more than one thing on my mind, like how nosy the others were during the conversation with Embry, and how they didn't seem to beleive me when I said Bomani was protective. Okay I don't blame them I wouldn't beleive me either since my voice always gives me away whih is always why I talk softly. I prefer the truth to stay hidden than let out, that way less people get hurt.
Embry
As I watched Mesi enter her house through the doors in her room, I had a sinking feeling that I just caused a lot of bad luck for her by not listening. So instead of returning to Emily's I walked over to the oak tree outside her door and hid out fo view of the glass doors behind it. The tree was pretty much the closest hiding place I could use, so if Reel hurts Mesi I can emmediatly help and get her out of there before anything can happen. I just hope I don't have to phase to help, since it seems that since Mesi isn't human neither is Reel which could be a problem.
Mesi ended up falling asleep quite some ways from the glass doors more near her bedroom door for some reason, I didn't object or move but I felt bad she doens't have a bed. Yes I've watched her sleep before but now seeing how little energy she has and how uncomfortable she looks I am getting so close to bringing her my matress to sleep on or at least make her stay the Sam's and Emily's house. At least there she won't have to worry about punishments from talking to other people.
"Embry aren't you coming back."
I turn and spot Seth jogging over. "Did you follow me?" I growled.
"Sam told me to. he told me to remind you of your patroling shift at 8 a.m.,so you need sleep." Seth replied.
"I'm not going to sleep, I have a feeling I just caused bad luck for Mesi." I replied.
Seth shook his head. "Sam expected you not to listen so he also said that: he let you take the past few days and nights shifts for you to be able to spend time with Mesi."
"gah! Fine." then without wanting to I left, luck not sticking with me.
