Chapter 12
I'm almost at 5000 reads! Like OMG WTF! I hope I make it to 5000 just before this story has it's first birthday. So before august 18.
SOOO a few chapters ago, I challenged you guys to come up with some characters. And I said I would pick one. And I did. I needed a necro and Jakesgirl101 gave me one. Sarah is going to be introduced this chapter in Simon's POV!
At the end of the chapter I will post another challenge! Ready? Leggo!
Derek's POV
After the conversation with my dad, I got back to my room to get Chloe. She isn't the same. She made an 180. Dependent and needy before I left, but creating distance when I get back. I took her hand to take her downstairs, but she pulled her hand back and folded her arms in front of her chest, followed by staring at the ground. When I asked her what was wrong, she told me she was completely fine. Which she definitely isn't. Eventually we went downstairs. She sits down beside Simon, Liz on the other couch looks quickly at Brady and right after she comes running my way.
"What happened with Chloe?" She asks me, whispering, almost blaming me. Or just blaming me.
"I don't know, one second she is all happy, the other she is down, and I don't know okay," I whisper back. I look over to Chloe. Simon is trying to talk to her, but she doesn't really respond.
"I get a bad feeling from her, something is wrong. And I mean really wrong," I look back at Liz to see her staring at Chloe. "I'm scared for her, and Brady feels the same," I brought Chloe on this trip because I thought it would make her feel a little better. But she looks more down than this morning.
Simon's POV
There was a lot of tension in the room. Derek was looking intensely at Chloe. Chloe was ignoring everyone. Liz and Brady were whispering and stealing glances at Chloe and Derek. I didn't like the tension and I figured no one would know if I would be gone for a few minutes. I walk outside the house and around the corner to walk straight into someone. And that someone is little shorter than I am, and also a little less stable. The person almost falls but I quickly grab the forearms, before the person falls on the butt.
"Thank you," I hear as soft voice say and when I look down I see a small girl. Maybe 2 to 3 inches taller than Chloe. She looks around our age though.
"No problem," I say to her. She actually kind of pretty with her black hair and dark eyes. Even though she is standing on her own, I still hold her arms.
"I'm Sarah," she says. I tell her my name before letting go of her arms. I offer to walk her home before she stumbles again and she agrees. And before I know it we are in front of my dad's house.
"You live here? My dad lives here.." I say confused.
"I'm so smart, I mean I know the son of Mr. Bae is called Simon, and you guys look so alike, that I didn't guess is beyond me!" We laugh it off a little. We walk into the living room, and nothing changed since I left.
"Guys, this is Sarah and apparently she lives here," for the first time in I think hours, Chloe looks up. And yells and Sarah also yells and then they run to each other and hug each other. I think I missed something.
Chloe's POV
I can't believe Sarah is here! How is this even possible?! I haven't seen her in years. We were sat for dinner and about an hour ago Mr. Bae, or Kit, explained me what this house is. This house is sort of a save house for supernatural's. So maybe you are in danger, if a pack of werewolves is changing you because you are a vampire for instance. Or maybe your parents died or put you up for adoption, they don't want you to go into the foster system. Because the foster system sucks and you will never find someone who can help you figure out your powers. So yeah that means Sarah is a supernatural. She told me she is a necromancer. Which means she can see the dead, and more stuff. Why she got here, she won't tell. I also met the other people who stay here, and let me tell you, there are a lot of people here.
I'm excited Sarah is here, she was my best friend, years ago. But after I moved, again, we lost contact. As I said; I'm excited, but I'm still sad. Yeah maybe you think I'm dramatic, but think about it; the only guy you will ever love, doesn't love you. Believe me, it hurts.
The food Mr. Bae made smells delicious, but I keep shoving it around the plate. I'm just not hungry. The others eat happily and talk a lot, happy about my change. Yeah I'm a little less depressed and talk a lot to Sarah. They think I'm feeling better, and I do, just not completely fine. But I think they know that to. After dinner it's time for us to go, and I'm actually really sad to leave Sarah.
"I'm going to miss you, again," I tell Sarah while I hug her close to me.
"Oh Chloe, you won't have to miss her for too long," Mr. Bae tells me. I look at him questionably. "After a lot of research our team decided it's save for her to go back to the outside world. There is a but, we want her save, so she need to be watched. So she will be attending your school, so Derek and Simon can watch out for her," both me and Sarah scream in excitement. "And Chloe, I wanted to give you this. Read it, it might help you," he gives me a huge book. I think about 600 pages at least. It says 'Werewolves' on the front. I turn around to read the backside.
"Werewolves can be complicated, but for everything they do, they have a reason. This books explains everything about where werewolves come from, how their body works, but most importantly; what is going on in their brains," I read out loud. This is what I need! This book can explain what is happening to me, it also can explain the whole mate thing better. "Thank you Mr. Bae,"
"Chloe, I've told you many times, call me Kit," I nod quickly, looking away ashamed. I mean he told me like 10 times, it's just hard to change it in my mind. "Now kids, it's time for you to go. You have to drive for an hour, and you also have school tomorrow, and you guys had a rough night last night," we all hug Kit and then go to the car.
Sarah wasn't coming with us, because she still needed to be registered in school. Kit gave Simon the car Simon got for his 16th birthday. Simon had to bring it back to his dad because he had made some trouble at school. It works out well, because otherwise Kit had to bring us back.
We are with five, we have two cars. Three in one car, two in the other, right? And apparently Brady, Simon and Liz are ganging up to me, because they quickly went to Simon's car, leaving me with Derek. The last person I wanted to be with.
You know that phase, where you are all sad or whatever and you just don't know anymore? Yeah that phase is over. All I feel now, is anger. Even though anger doesn't sound strong enough for what I'm feeling. I'm angry at myself, I'm angry at Derek, I'm angry at everyone. I'm angry at myself, because apparently, I'm not good enough. I'm angry at Derek, because why wouldn't I be his mate, what is the reason I can't be his mate? At least I will love him for real and forever. I will never hurt him, I will always protect him, I will always love him. And still he chooses someone else. Someone tell me; why am I not good enough? I'm angry at everyone, because no one can help me. They will never know how much it hurts. I will never mean as much to him, as he means to me. And that hurts, and no one will understand. I will always love him and he will never love me. It's in the book. Yeah I'm next to Derek, while he drives and yes I read the mate part, and only the mate part. You know what is also in the book? That I will suffer. I will get in a depression and eventually I will end up killing myself. And to be honest, it doesn't even sound that bad. If this is just a small part of the pain I'm going to feel, I don't know if I will be able to handle that much. But well they, the book, say I won't be able to handle it. They literally say; you will end up killing yourself. And it confuses me! How could I hate this guy just a week ago, and right now wanting to kill myself, just because Mr. Popular doesn't feel the same? Of course it's a little more complicate then just that, with the mate thing and all. Ugh, why am I even a werewolf, to start with? If I wouldn't be a werewolf, I wouldn't feel this is the first place. That has me asking; why did Liam change me? What did I do to him that made him hate me enough to do this to me? I saw him for the first time last Monday.. I never said a word to him. He is here just a week now. What could I have done in a week that he hate me so much? That reminds me, he was using me to sort of tease or bully Derek. It was about Derek. What happened between Liam and Derek that made Liam this mad? Mad enough to stab me, bite me and knock me out? What is it between those two and why did Liam use me? I'm not important to Derek, I mean we are friends and stuff, but that is also just a week. Or has it something to do with werewolves? Do they feel the need to protect everyone? Is it an instinct?
I look at the boy beside me, he looks in lost in his thoughts. "Derek?" He makes a sound indicating he is listening to me. "Why did Liam use me?" He slams the break almost killing us. I hear horns behind us and Derek quickly pulls over to the side of the road.
"What do you mean?" he asks me, now looking at me.
"He obviously wanted to get to you, but why my, why not someone else?" He looks away, mumbling that he doesn't know. And I hear his heartbeat go faster than before. "Don't lie to me Derek, tell me," he looks at me like he is some sweet puppy that is just received a few blows. But I'm not falling for it. I just narrow my eyes at him.
"Okay, okay, I surrender," I look at him expectantly. "You know werewolves, just like normal wolves, form a pack. With their family and friends. They don't have to be werewolves, but they are in the pack. Family and friends of the other werewolves in your pack are also part of the pack. And let just say, you are one of my friend, so you are in my pack. Werewolves protect everyone in their pack, so I had to protect you," I nod understandingly. Derek looks at me for a second before he continues driving.
Derek doesn't have a mate yet, so Liam used a random someone from his pack. How I know Derek doesn't have a mate yet? If he did have a mate, he wouldn't have kissed me back. A werewolf is able to have some play toys, before he finds his mate. When he finds his mate, he won't be able to have another play toy, he also doesn't want any. That Derek kissed me back means I'm his play toy, so he doesn't have a mate. Now I need to decide, do I want his play toy or not. I could be his play toy and be happy, till his mate comes along, if she comes along. Then he would let me fall, and that would hurt. Or I could choose to not give him the chance to let me fall and I give him up now, and just have pain. I could also ask myself; do I want to kill myself now, or later when it hurts more. It is going to happen anyways, it is in the book. It will hurt more for me if I do it later, because I get to attached to Derek. Derek may see me as a better friend with time and would care for me, and me going would hurt, even if it's a little. And Brady, Liz, Sarah and Simon, the longer I stay with them, the more I will hurt them. I need to say goodbye to them now. Well… Not now, but tonight, because right now I'm still with Derek in the car. Tonight I will give up the thing that never will be mine; Derek. The only difference between now and later is more pain, so I made a decision. Tonight I'm going to end this. I'm going to end my misery. I'm going to end my suffering. I'm going to end my life. Tonight everything will be over.
Soo the next challenge: I have a name for a vampire that is comming somewhere soon. But I don't really like the name. So I want a name, I want something classic, like Katerina or something.. So tell me which names you came up with!
Kisses!
Liz
