Sorry for leaving you with a crappy chapter yesterday. ENJOY!
Cam's POV
Everyone came rushing into the room. Sophie, Biana, Dex, Keefe, and Fitz crowded around the bed.
"Are you okay?" Biana asks. Her teal eyes were filled with concern. I nod. Her and Sophie sat with me on the bed. Fitz, Dex, and Keefe perched on the edge of it. Elwin was talking to Grady and Edaline, while Alden was trying to contact The Council.
"Uh, Cam, the others and I have to tell you something," Sophie suddenly says. I look at her and gesture for her to continue. "Uh..I know you probably think that you don't belong here but, we figured out that you actually are an elf. A special one at that too."
"And how do you figure that?" I ask. I play along to see what she has to say. I know I don't belong here. I'm a human. A fangirl. I don't belong in the elven world. But Sophie and the others somehow think that I do belong. It's sweet how they want me here though. I never had friends.
"Well, we think you're a Project, like me. But, you aren't The Black Swan's. I think you're the Neverseen's." The whole room suddenly silenced. I felt myself pale and I grabbed hold on the nearest thing, which turned out to be Keefe's arm. I lean against him and peer at Sophie's face.
"Tell me you're wrong," I whisper. I can tell she wishes it weren't true, but she shakes her head anyway. I'm not an elf. I don't want to leave my family like Sophie did. And I especially don't want to be an evil group's creation. I feel Keefe grab my hand and squeeze it. I should have been embarrassed by the gesture, happy even. I didn't feel any of that. I came to the conclusion that I needed to get out. Out of this room, this house. I needed fresh air. I slip my hand out of Keefe's and get up. The others ask me where I was going but I don't answer. I run out of the house, down one of the many paths. My mind couldn't decide which emotion for my body to feel. So I felt every one of the negative ones. Anger, confusion, fear, sadness.
I wasn't paying attention to where I was going, but now I find myself by a lake. All of a sudden I had the urge to cry. Tears came to my eyes and flowed down my face. I crumpled to the sand and sobbed. I don't want to be someone's puppet. All I wanted to be is a normal teenage girl who read about elves and not actually be one. I snap out of my thoughts when I hear footsteps. I look up through tear-filled eyes and wet lenses to find Keefe walking towards me. I don't want him to see me like this but I didn't have the strength to stop the tears. He came and sat down next to me.
"I know how you feel," He says quietly. "When I found out my mom was part of the Neverseen I went home and cried in the shower."
I don't answer him. Instead I sniffle and wipe the tears on my face, but they were quickly replaced with new ones.
"I'm sorry," I whisper. "I don't usually cry."
Without answering Keefe wraps his arms around me and I bawl into his chest. His arms tighten and I feel his head rest on mine.
"It's going to be alright," he murmurs into my hair."Trust me. You're going to be okay."
Neither of us realize Sophie and the others watching us through the window. And none of us realize one of the shadows in the woods smile evilly.
Ok I know this is kind of short and I apologize for that. I might post the first chapter of a new story later on. TILL NEXT CHAPTER!
