Chapter 4 Day One'

I felt a little groggy the next morning, the weather totally matching my mood. Bright lights flashed in the sky as lightning took out its anger getting close to nearby trees. I slowly crawled out of bed unsure on what was to come, after yesterday everything was changing in my life.

After a nice warm shower I dressed and headed to my mom's always delicious breakfast. She was standing by the sink putting plates together for the three of us.

"Hey mom smells good, any hot chocolate with that?" I always love a cup of hot coco on a rainy day.

" Ya Ya I knew you would when I looked out the window this morning. But your ride gets here in about two hours so don't fill up too much.

Right…My rides coming soon to take me where ever the hell Peter lives, I still don't understand much of this yet but I am suppose to meet another Guardian. So I guess that might be interesting, so much for a small quiet town that I moved into.

As I finished my second cup of hot chocolate, a knock on the door made my mom's somewhat calm face, turn sad. I was really going to miss our morning breakfasts and all night girl talk while dad was away.

I heard my dad talking to someone as they walked in, a male voice echoing with laugher. I guess he knows my dad then. My father stepped in first followed by a beautiful tall man with shaggy brown hair and brown eyes that smiled at me.

"Cassia, this is Jacob he works with me and some other guardians around here and will be taking you to Peter's. He'll be training with you until Lara gets back from her mission." Thinking of training with Jacob made me nervous for many reasons, not only because he was gorgeous but also because picturing myself training with a guy is going to be tough.

"Nice to meet you Jacob, I hope you won't kick my butt too much in training." His laugh filled the room and he walked over to me. He patted my shoulder and gave me big smile.

"Cass I can already tell you're going to be fun to work with, just like your mom and dad. I just hope you don't kick mine either darling." I already liked this guy; his personality pretty close to mine would make us either clash or have too much fun. "Are you ready to go, it's not a long drive from here but Peter said he wanted you settled before he gets back from business."

My father as always said he usual "got get em sweetie" as my mom did her I am not crying hug. Jacob and I headed for his car and my nerves started up again as we pulled away from my home for five days. We drove in silent for a bit until Jacob plugged in his IPod up with Linkin Park playing, oh were we so going to get along.



"So Cass you ready to learn what you were born for? I can't wait for Lara to figure out your ability that's always my favorite part." He seemed like a little kid getting candy for the first time. "But no need to be worried you're going to love her, she's a bunch of fun and sarcasm.

"Yay, I just have never been much of an athlete or anything, I do run a lot but only at my pace and all, so I hope I don't die the first day." His laugh echoed again making me giggle this time. I love a guy who can laugh like this.

"Don't worry darling you're going to do just fine, you are your parents daughter, you'll be a natural. Besides Peter will work with you too, he's your mate and all so I am sure he wants you to know every way to protect yourself. "Peter he was a story in himself, I still don't know much about him only that he is a vampire of royal blood. Also he's my mate and every time I am around him I melt.

We were pretty high up in the mountain until we reached two huge black gates that opened as we approached. The long path was surrounded by enormous trees and a huge so called house near the end of the road.

It was beautifully hidden by the forest; the house had vines growing up the sides with purple flowers growing in a random but amazing order up to the roof. Jacob lead me through the huge entry way up the spiral stair case, the halls we walked seemed never ending until we reached what I supposed was my room.

"Alright gorgeous this is your room, that closet there has hangers and the drawer by the window is empty, so unpack and I'll let you know when Peter gets back…Unless you want me to stay." He whispered that last bit into me ear and it made me jump a little. His laugh filled me again and then his arms surrounded me in a hug. "Just joking sweets; Peter would cut off pieces of me if I ever tired anything towards you. I am very fond of my arms and legs so I'll leave you." He left me and I stared at the door for what seemed like hours. I slowly unpacked my bags and placed my favorite books on the desk next to my bed. A picture of my parents and I lay next to them, so I feel they are here with me. I grabbed my favorite book the China Garden and started to read it, my eyes slowly getting heavier as I reach the third chapter, then I was out.

I don't know how long it was until I felt cool hands stroking my hair and down my back. I open my eyes but didn't move away from the hands, I looked into forest green eyes…Peter.

"Hello love, have a good rest? I didn't mean to wake you, but just seeing you here in my home makes me so happy. I have wanted you here for so long, you have no idea." His hand moved to my face as he leaned in, I still didn't move, I didn't want to. His lips cool to the touch as he kissed me, slight warmth from my face started to take over. He deepened the kiss a bit until I pulled back a little unsure.

"Sorry my love, I guess I am in too big of a hurry to have you huh?" His laugh made me smile, but my face I could tell was red with embarrassment. "Why don't you join me for dinner in a while in my room, don't worry I have a table and fire place, I like eating in my room so I have a dining room table there. I won't try anything…promise." A smirk grew as he rose with his graceful movement.



"Uh sure, I uh guess, umm I don't really know where it is though this place is huge." I felt a little uneasy talking with him after that kiss.

"Don't worry you'll find it, you will always be able to find me no matter how far I am." And with that he left my room. What the hell did he mean by that? Is it our somewhat bond that we have because I am his …mate?

About a half hour later I was a little more put together. I headed out of my room into the big hallway I can through. Since I came from the left I decided to go right, no other choice really so what the heck. As I went down the hall I noticed pictures all along each side, all of people, probably some of the royal blood line Peter talked to me about. I noticed one with a group standing by a log cabin; my mom and dad were in it smiling with the others. They must be guardians, they looked like a big family but I have never even met any of them. I continued down the hallway and had the feeling as I reach near the end that I was being pulled, a rush had hit me as I walked faster without even knowing it. I then reach for an entry way with two double doors and stopped. Whoa…my body didn't even feel like I was controlling it.

The smell of food engulfed me as I opened the doors to a huge table with a fireplace cracking right beside it. A tall lean body that I would love to wrap my arms around stood outlined next to the huge flames.

"I knew you'd fine me love, have a seat." My stomach grumbled reminding me how hungry I was. I sat at the seat he pointed to near him instead of sitting at the far end where I was going to. The food was amazing, though we ate in an awkward silence, I just couldn't say anything. After we finished I sat once again in silence in my chair as he rose over to sit by is window.

"Cassia, come over to me please." His voice held so much warmth and care it pulled me to him as I sat there next to window as well. " All these years I have wondered who would be the person I would spend my eternity with, will she be strong, will she like my home here, my family, will she accept who I am? I hope that you can let me show you what I can be for you and how much you mean to me. Yes you're a guardian and have a strong future as that, but I hope you can have one with me as well." I wasn't sure if I was supposed to say anything, but those words went down to my soul and I felt like I was going to cry. Boy...was I not a girl who cried for anything, I swear the last time I did it was because my mother wouldn't let me wear black to a wedding.

"I—I hope that as we get to—umm—know each other that maybe one day I can—well be someone good for you." His smile was just as beautiful as the rest of him and his arms wrapped around me as he pulled me too his stone cold chest. I melted there in the coldness of his body and felt too much emotion in how he held me. Then he brought up my chin as he took my mouth in his, our kiss was not like last time. It was with more passion, more care and he defiantly kissed me harder. As our kiss went on my emotions sky rocketed and I felt as though I was in another world, not only that but I swear I saw something moving in the corner of my eye. I regretfully pulled from the kiss of all kisses and watched as the dining room table, some chairs and a couple of pictures crashed to the floor as if they had been floating. Peter didn't even react, just watched as his belongings fell to the ground.



"Oh my god, what—what happened?" Still he said nothing just pulled me again closer to him.

"My love I just think we witnessed a bit of your abilities." I could feel his smile, thought I wasn't looking at him.

"WHAT?!"
