Chapter 11

Laurina's POV

''So your eyes are like mood rings.'' Luke said. I sighed. After a couple minute of them staring at my eyes while I tried furiously to communicate to them I was okay we all finally got changed we didn't say a word until half way to the hotel. They asked why my eyes were green and I explained my theory. We were now siting in the hotel room. After re-explaining it at leasy four times.

''I'm not sure if that's true or not. But that's pretty much what I'm thinking.'' They stared at me shocked. I slid my gaze down wondering if they wouldn't except me anymore. Kat sighed before saying

''That's pretty cool.'' I shot my head up no looks of disgust just curious and wonder. I smiled.

Logan's POV

Wow so that dream was about her... Well that's a good thing...

Right?

Her eyes had gone icy blue in the car. I had been shocked liking the bright green better then the light almost colourless blue. She'd been so happy in the clearing bright eyes glowing. Until we'd stopped to stare. Her eyes had stayed a bright green slowly going back to blue until when we got in the car they were back to normal.

I almost smiled. I'll know when she's happy or not that's Rina to them. Dad had to stay for his class.

I zipped up the full bags and hefted them out of my room to the front door. I then grabbed my mom's and sisters bags from there rooms and brought them there too.

They hadn't actually needed to pack so they left with Rina so that she could pack her things. They had jumped at the chance to leave so had Clay so I'm here waiting at the hotel alone and bored but also very excited to get home. Savannah had came and talked to us and was oddly... well she was just being odd that's all. She and Kat kept glancing at me or Rina and occasionally Rina would glare at Savannah.

It was all very confusing.

Anyway I'm real nervous... and excited and a hole bunch of other things... I'm actually not all that sure how I feel but it's all very weird. The onslaught of emotions was really getting to my head, I was even wondering how she'd like Stonehaven, what room she would have and a hole bunch of other things like that.

I shook my head trying to get rid of all my confusing thoughts. Now I would do...

Ooh crap I cannot believe I forgot!

Homework!

I jumped for my back pack pulling all my homework stuff out then started on it.

Okay so I'm a nerd so what? I want to do well in school so that I can get into a University nearby instead of one elsewhere.

I did very well in school and the teachers liked me a little bit but not enough to let me off the hook for homework and now I would be going home early an they would expect me to have it all done event though the amount of work was meant to be completed over a much longer period of time...

Damn teachers.

Not that I would say that to there face's or in anyone else presence in-fact I would have called anyone who said something like that about a person or group of persons because it's rude but it still felt nice to say that once in a while.

Yeah it's kind of hypocritical...

Actual it's the best example of hypocrisy I can come up with but still...

I worked on my homework and almost completed all of it before the girls arrived. We were taking the 4 o-clock flight from Toronto to Syracuse then we'd drive from Syracuse to Stonehaven all in all it should take about three hours once we where on the plane.

It was 2 o-clock now.

We brought our bags down to the car and Savannah dropped us off at the airport we went thru security and Rina gave them a fake passport and used a little magic to make them believe it was the real thing.

It was amazing to watch.

She repeated this several times threw out the check in and again when we boarded the plane. I picked up my plane ticket and checked for the seat number.

7b.

Ahh yeah I'm probably stuck between two old people. Or worse a business guy whose trying to be cool and the old woman who shows you the pictures of her children, and there children too, her brothers and sisters children and there children as well...

Yes I've had to sit thru that before it's a miracle I didn't end up exploding.

Looking up I slung my back pack on and walked down the aisle to my seat.

I almost started dancing when I noticed it was empty. I sat and Rina came and sat down beside me. I smiled at her, her green eyes where glowing with happiness.

''Would you like the window seat? I'm fine with sitting in the middle.'' I nodded and moved over as she took my spot.

''Do you know where my mom and Kat are sitting?'' She nodded and said

''there in row 2.'' I smiled Kat wont be bothering me on this flight! Last time she was throwing stuff at me the entire flight... Rina's voice brought me away from my memory.

''I just hope we aren't having anyone else in this row.'' I shot my head around to look at her smiling quizzicaly. ''No no no that's sooo not what I meant, I meant that, you know they're kind of anoying to-'' I cut her off with a smirk

''Yeah I know what you mean.'' she smiled gratefully then paused and turned to me again.

''I haven't been to school in a while. And I don't know if I'll be able to be in your grade...'' Her green eyes churned worry clear in her eyes. I sighed and pulled her into a hug. She froze for a moment before melting into the hug.

''Don't worry your much smarter then them anyway and Kat and me we'll help you with all your work. I could feel her smile against my chest and she pulled away,

''Thanks'' she said with a warm happy smile I returned and looked up and down the aisle.

The last of the people boarding where on and the flight attendants went up and down the aisle making sure the compartments were closed the bags where under the seat in front of us and that everyone had there seat belts on.

Soon we where in the air.

Laurina's POV

As time went by on the plane I got more and more nervous. I started fidgeting half way thru the flight.

Logan noticed and tried to calm my nerve's by telling me about how awesome Jeremy, Nick, Antonio, Jaime, Karl, Hope, Reese and Chris are. I made sure to commit those name's and his description of each to memory. It might have helped any other person in my situation to know who they where going to face and that would help with there nervousness but for me...

I made my nervous fideget's worse.

Jeremy is the pack alpha. Alpha's are generally big men with tiny IQ's and lot's of muscles. They tended to have only one or two followers which could be persuaded to leave his side for very little in return. The American pack wasn't like that. Jeremy was brilliant not extremely strong but had followers that would lay down there life for him.

Yeah I was getting nervous.

Antonio was Jeremy's consultant per say. Now HE was the extremely strong one though he was shorter then most pack members, but according to Logan he was funny and kind.

He had a son named Nick he was supposedly a blast who has always been a close friend to Clay and Elena. Nothing more really to add to that.

Jaime was Jeremy's mate. She used to be one of those people who 'talked' to ghosts to make the people in the crowd feel better. Now she actually could talk to ghost since she is a necromancer but she can't just pull them out of the air so she conned her way thru it.

I wasn't exactly sure how I felt about her.

Karl is a reluctant member of the pack. I'll meet him today. I've heard of him the thief who usually returns what he has stolen. More of a thrill seeker then anything else.

He's an odd one to have in there pack.

Hope is a half demon, she's Karl's mate and she's been encouraging him ever since he joined the pack to become more involved in there activities.

Hugh I'm thinking that he's a lost cause but what ever floats her boat I guess...

Then there is Reese. He's a member of the pack that Elena and Clayton saved. He's also missing apart of a finger cause he didn't listen to Elena.

This motivated me to listen to Elena's advice. I like where all my body parts are thank you very much.

And then there is Chris. He's a kid who got turned and got accepted into the pack. He was fiercely loyal to Nick. Nick was the one to find him he had been on the ground fighting the change in the middle of town. He'd packed him into his car and brought him to Jeremy who accepted him into the pack.

He was like a son to Nick.

Logan also explained to me that Elena was being introduced to being the pack alpha but still fell back to Jeremy for advice. And that Clayton was the supposed beta in the pack.

This made me nervous.

I was a nobody in this pack. I had no status, I'm at the bottom of the hierarchy. There is no one bellow me. Now Logan didn't say anything about his status but I knew where he was at.

The very fucking (excuse my word choice it just works well in the context) top he's up there with his sister.

Now the odds were that after Elena let go of her title that Logan or Kat would take it. Now if you do farther Kat is to restless and was one of those people in the pack who was more accustomed to taking orders then giving them. Sooo...

I was sitting beside the future pack alpha.

Ugh...

I glanced over at Logan. HE would be a formidable leader. He was patient and protective. A combination of Elena and Clay.

I shook my head and looked back at the tv screen that showed our progress and almost shrieked nervously.

We would be landing in 5 minutes

Logan's POV

I glanced over at Rina. She was shuffling nervously.

I guess my spiel about the pack hadn't helped.

Her long brown hair loose. It swung around her as she moved nervously. I wrapped an arm around her waist to comfort her.

Or that's what I'm telling myself anyway.

She leaned into me. We where waiting for our luggage while mom and Kat called Jeremy.

''I'm at the bottom.'' Rina whispered brokenly. What?

''what do you mean by that?'' She glanced up at me, eyes wide and said.

''Nothing I didn't say anything.'' I frowned and turned her around to face me.

''You said 'I'm at the bottom'. You can come to me for anything you know I'm here to help'' She shook her head and mumbled something that sounded a lot like 'no your here to lead' I shook my head and sighed frustrated.

The bag dispenser thing started moving and bags started spitting out.

It took us only about 5minutes to get our bags. One each for Elena, Kat and I, then 2 for Rina since she was taking all of her stuff.

We met up with Elena and Kat not far from the parking lot. Apparently Jeremy had had Nick and Antonio drive up a car which mom had a key for.

I didn't ask I really don't want to know how they have everything planed. It's kind of creepy...

We arrived to a light blue FJ cruiser. After piling all our stuff in the back mom sat at the front with Kat I sat in the back with an even more nervous Rina. She fidgeted tapped her feet on the floor of the car, tapped the window with her fingers all done with wide nervous eyes that swung around trying to catch every detail of the drive.

I was about to tell her to calm down when she froze. I felt the car roll to a stop in front of Stonehaven. Her eyes widened even more then before as she stared at the house and the woods surrounding it. I heard her gasp a breath and whisper.

''It's HUGE.'' I gave her a smile and said

''There's nothing to worry about they'll like you.''

Laurina's POV

''There's nothing to worry about they'll like you.'' Logan said kindly. I pushed open the door and restored myself to the old me and said

''Of course there's nothing to worry about I can kick all of there ass's anyway'' He laughed and opened his door and walked out we closed our doors and walked to the back of the car and got out our bags. We rolled them up the drive way. Kat was happily dancing and signing twirling up the drive way dragging her suitcase behind her. Elena was shacking her head as she followed her daughter to the door her bags being dragged behind her. Me and Logan where on her heals I chatted about nothing important just to keep my thoughts off what awaited me inside. I jerked to a stop Logan whirled around and I whispered low enough for him to hear but not loud enough for the others to hear.

''don't get in there way when I mean if they attack I need to prove that I can bear my own weight around here.'' I started walking again he looked like he was about to argue but the look on my face made him nod.

Well one thing accomplished let's see what awaits me inside.

Kat was disappearing inside there was a chorus of hello's and happy screech's from Kat and lot's of loud laughs. The same reaction when Logan and his mother walked in. I took in a quiet deep breath and left my stuff on the wide shadowed porch I pulled my shoulders back stood confidently and walked into a brightly lit family room the silence was instant.

There were eight strangers in the room along with Kat, Logan, Elena and I. Two other women and six men.

I immediately figured out there status by how close they stood to the alpha, and the alpha was easy to spot.

Jeremy was standing more to the back with his arm around the waist of a beautiful women who I assumed to be Jaime. Now that sounds really stripper like but they looked to be the same age and they held one another like a couple in love.

Next I spotted Reese.

He was at the farther end of the group but I'd noticed he lacked a finger when he pulled his hand thru his hair ginger coloured hair.

Next I spotted Karl he stood protectively over a gorgeous women whom I assumed to be Hope.

After this it was easy to figure out who Antonio, Nick and Chris were. Antonio and Nick could have been twins except for the age difference. And Chris appeared to be about my age.

I calculated all this in seconds.

Most of the guys glared but Jeremy stepped forward everyone took a step with him. He ignored them and shook my hand saying.

''Welcome to the pack Laurina.''
