Chapter 13: Please Not them
The next day I was up before every one else. It was still dark out and I checked my cell. I had over hundred texts from Asil and about fifty miss call from Asil. I read the texts and deleted them. The texts were saying mostly the same things:
I'm sorry txt or call me plz.
I didn't know what I was saying,
I'm sorry.
I need to talk to you.
It was like that will all of them. I didn't txt or call him back.

Sitting at the kitchen table with my cell cleared and waiting for every one to wake up. Mercy was the first one to get up. She turned on the light and jumped when she saw me staring at her.
"Damn it Tega you scared the shit out of me. Why are you sitting in the dark for?"
I looked down I felt bad for scaring her.
"Sorry Mercy I didn't mean to scare you. I was just waiting for everyone to get up." Besides the light hurts my eyes some times. She got her self some coffee and sat across from me.
"You do have Samuels eyes."
I could feel my face get a lil hot.
"I know that's all I have from him. . . .well that and my wolf form."
She looked at me confused.
"When I change I look just like Da but a lil bit bigger then him."
She smiled and nodded.
"So why are you here for?"
I looked at her.
"Oh sorry I didn't mean for that to come out like it did. I wasn't trying to sound mean."
I smiled at her.
"Its ok. I didn't take it like that. Will there are two reasons why I'm here. Bran ask me to come cause he said Da was in trouble and the other one. . ."
I didn't finish I really didn't want anyone right now to know why I came.
"Samuels in trouble?"
I could hear the worry in her voice.
"That is what Bran said but he knows if Da's in trouble I would come here to help him. But you know Bran he say anything to get someone he waits to go some were he needs them."
She nodded. Mercy knew the Marrok and how he worked.
"So has there been any trouble?"
I asked Mercy after a while of silences. She looked up at me.
"There have been a few deaths but we cant find out who is killing them."
I nodded. "Who has been killed?"
I asked. She lowered her voice.
"Three Fae, one rogue wolf and six humans."
I sat back and started to think.
Who would kill three Fae, one rogue wolf and six humans? What did that want? Or was it that they just like killing? Is there more then one who is killing? Or are the killing them cause they are being told to?
A lot of question were racing through my mind. It was a while before I saw that Mercy was calling my name.
"Sorry Mercy I was thinking."
She gave a small smile. I could see that she was scared.
"What do you think is killing them?"
I closed my eyes.
"I don't know there are a lot of things that can kill them. But I need to go to were they were killed and sniff around."
I let a smile creep across my face. Sniff around ha. Damn I need a better nights sleep. When I opened my eyes Mercy had this weird look on her face.
"Sorry when I have a bad night sleep I think the stupid's things make me laugh. I don't know why but they do. So why are you up so early?"
She nodded then said.
"I have to go to work soon."
I didn't like the idea of her going to work with out a guard. Then Adam came down the stairs.
"She wont stay home so I'm sending Honey with her to work."
I smiled at him.
"Good. But I need to go to were the victims were found."
Adam looked at me like I want find something after they been there. Then I added
"Please sir."
He smiled a lil.
"Ok I call Ben and tell him to come over and pick you up."
I nodded but Mercy looked at him.
"Couldn't anyone else take her?"
I don't see why she was saying this.
"No and Ben wont do anything to Samuels daughter."
I didn't like the way he same "daughter".

A hour later Ben showed up. I was waiting for him out side the house. When he parked I walked over to his truck and jumped in. He didn't like this anymore then I did. Ben has been hurt in his life and he didn't trust a lot of people. I couldn't blame him. But when he talked he had a British accent.
"So are you really Samuels daughter?"
I was looking out of my window. I relaxed so he would know I wasn't a threat. "Yes I am."
He looked my way as I turned to look at him. His eyes got huge when he say my eyes but he looked away.
"You don't look like him but you do have his eyes."
I smiled a lil.
"I know. Back in the day the ones who knew my mother said I look just like her but not the eyes."
I could remember them throwing stones at me. Cause I was a child of the moon and a child of a monster. I could feel my hatred starting to come out. I had to pull it back so Ben wouldn't smell it. But it didn't work.
"What's got you all piss off?"
I smiled as I looked at him. Most wolfs don't cuss in front of a girl.
"Just thinking about the old days."
He gave me a look.
"When was the "old days"."
I smiled he thought I was a young wolf.
"Back in the days when the Marrok was just a new pup."
I couldn't help my self but to giggle at the look on his face.
"You got to be fucking with me. Your not that old. . . Are you?"
I nodded.
"I don't seem my age I guess that's from my mothers side of the family."
He turned down a dirt road.
"What was your mothers family? Witch? Fae?"
I looked out of the window again.
"Avatar's or you might know them better as Walkers. Like what Mercy is but not coyote."
I could smell the shock coming off him.
"So your part Walker and part werewolf?"
I nodded.
"So how old were you when you turned?"
I pulled my knees up to my chest.
"I was born a werewolf."
I said softly. We both looked at each other for a lil bit.
"But who could that happen?"
I laughed softly.
"Will they had sex then nine mouths later I was born."
He looked at him.
"Ok smart ass. But that wasn't what I was asking."
I put my chin on my knees.
"A Avatar and a werewolf can have pups you know. If Mercy and Adam have any kids one of them might be a werewolf, coyote or even human. That's why Da wanted to marry Mercy. So he could have kids that would live."
Da told me about how he thought that Mercy could give him kids that would live. Poor Da.

We didn't talk after that. Cause he didn't know but then he pulled up to a old looking house.
"Who was killed here?"
I ask as we got out of the truck.
"The family of six."
I nodded and walked around the house. Taking in the everything, to the scents to the blood on the back porch. I could smell magic but not from witch or fae. I walked into the house and walked from room to room sniffing and looking for anything that might help me. Then as I was coming out of the houses front door.
I ask a symbol burned into the wood of the railing. It was a feather with skulls. But it couldn't be or could it? Then I looked around the yard and found a long black feather. I took a whiff, this didn't come from a bird. Ben was behind me.
"What is that?"
I turned around and walked over to him.
"Take a whiff and tell me what do you smell?"
He bent his head down and to a few sniffs.
"Its from a bird. Why?"
I shook my head. You had to be trained to find the small is of magic that's on there wings. But if you ran your hand over the feather it would slice your hand open. That's one of the ways to spot if the feather is from a bird or something more deadly.

Ben took me to the other place and I found the symbol there to and a long black feather. But at the last place he took me. The sent was less concealed then the others. This is were the rogue wolf as killed. I still wasn't sure if it was them.
I really hope it wasn't. I don't pray at all but this one time I did. I didn't wont to face one of them again. The last time I almost died.
As Ben drove me back to Adam's house (I had all the feathers in my back-pack). I kept telling my self:
Some one is just trying to make it look like its them.
They lose there feather a lot so someone might have picked them up. But no matter how hard I try to make my self believe that. It didn't work, I said my thinks to Ben for taking me and walked into the house.
Adam and Mercy were in the kitchen cooking and Jesse was at the table doing her homework.
"You look awful baby girl."
Da just come down the stairs. I looked up at him.
"Hey Da. Why are you here?"
I said in a tired voice.
"I just come by to see you. Where have you been?"
I looked at Adam but he looked back at what he was doing.
"Ben took me to the place were the victims were killed."
I could see the anger in his eyes.
"What did he do?"
I didn't know why he was so mad.
"Just took me to the place followed me around and brought me back. That's all." He didn't look like he believed me.
"Dad you know if I was lying to you. What's so bad about Ben that makes you so damn mad?"
He didn't say anything.
"I forbid you to go any where with him."
I growled at him and I didn't hold back my wolf. My eyes turned sky blue.
"I'm not a pup anymore Da. And you have no right in telling me what to do. I just as old as you."
Adam moved in front of Mercy and Jesse got up and moved to where her father was.
"I can tell you want the hell you can and cant do. I'm still you father!"
He was growling and was having a hard time holding back his wolf. Before I could stop my self I screamed.
"YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW I WAS EVEN BORN! YOU WHERENT THERE FOR ME AFTER MOM DIED. YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HER OR THAT SHE WAS PREGNANT WITH ME! I DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU!"
I had tears rolling down my face as I turned on my heel and ran out of the house. I jumped into a tree and stayed there for a few hours crying. I was so pissed off that I didn't hear Adam walk out to my tree.
"Tega can you please come down so we could talk?"
I looked at him and jumped down next to him. He wiped away a tear form my cheek.
"You shouldn't have said that. Samuel feels so awful that he locked him self in the bathroom."
I looked away.
"I know I shouldn't have said that but I was so mad. I never had a father in my life. So I don't know what to do or say."
Adam looked at me.
"Its hard to be a father but you are Samuels first girl and its different to be there for them. I'm still learning what to do with Jesse. I know he wasn't there for you but you have to give him some time."
I sat down on the ground. I couldn't stand anymore.
"I never asked to be born. I never asked for this. If I could I would go back in time and stop them from meeting."
Adam sat next to me in shock.
"You would really go back and stop your own birth?"
I closed my eyes.
"I should have never been born."
There were some other reasons why I would stop it.
"Why do you say that?"
Adam said slowly.
"I might be a werewolf but I'm a very different kind of wolf. One of a kind and it sucks. Charles and me might have been born a wolf but he is more like you then me."
I took a deep breath.
"I just wish I was born to a family but not even the most powerful being could do that."
Adam didn't say anything.
"Will we better go in and you have to make up with him. Then we can eat."
I nodded and got up. I followed Adam back to the house and made up with Da.

But as I got into bed that night they popped into my head and I stayed up late thinking about them. . . .
