It was dark.
I could feel myself being lifted, but I didn't know who it was. I feel heavy.
I tried opening my eyes but they won't. My body has shut down and I don't know why.
I could see a wolf, my wolf to be exact. She was sitting down, looking at me. I come near her and she nuzzles her head under my arm.
I stroke her fur, looking at her eyes. She was even more beautiful now that I've seen her in person- or in wolf rather haha.
I could hear noises, someone whining and hospital smell.
What am I doing in a hospital? I can't be cured in a hospital.
Lapis knows that, were not humans.
Lapis.. I wonder what she's doing... She's beautiful too..
I can't think like that, I shake my head internally. I have a mate that's waiting for me..
If I fall for someone, I'd just get hurt... Lapis would be hurt too, assuming that she likes me that way. She also has a beloved and I can't keep her away from him...
I have a mate and responsibilities.. I wish there was some other way..
A bright light surrounds me.. And next thing I know...
I woke up.
"Peridot?" A voice next to me says.
My throat hurts, like I haven't drank anything for the past few days.
Lapis hands me a glass of water and I gulped it down immediately. I wipe my mouth with my hand.
"Lapis, Where are we? Are we on human territory? You know I can't be cured by human medications." I said, frowning..
"No, we aren't. We're at the academy's private Hospital.
I saw that friend of yours, Jasper was it? With her mate. I asked her to carry you all the way here." She said, looking down at her lap.
I smiled at her.
"Thanks, if it weren't for you, I'd surely be roadkill." She smiled at that. We laughed together.
"So, feeling better now? The doctor told me that I should call him ones you wake up." She said, standing up to leave.
"I'm fine, thanks for asking. A little dizzy, but other than that I'm fine." I said.
She smiled and left to call the doctor. I think there were many kinds of doctors here in this hospital. Since we are different species, the founder wanted all of us to have our own doctors that are same with our kind.
Moments later, Lapis returned with a man following her in a white coat.
"So Peri. I assume that you are fine after what happened?" He said, looking at me.
I nodded, my head slightly spinning from the act.
"The way your wolf acted, I'd say that it doesn't like the way others treat your friends, it got protective all of a sudden and took over.
What I don't understand is why would it do that for a person you just met. I am referring to miss Lazuli over here." He says, pointing his thumb in Lapis' direction.
I shrugged, "Maybe I'm just really protective of my friends." I stated.
He looked at me then to Lapis, then back to me.
He smiled, his smile was unsettling, it was like he knows something.
"Well, you are free to go Miss Greene, just make sure your wolf won't go haywire next time." He says, grinning at us.
My eyebrows creased, my wolf growling at him.
"Okay..?" I left the room with Lapis on tow.
"So, are you sure that you feel fine? I can get you anything you need. Just tell me and I'll get it for you." Lapis told me, obvious worry in her voice.
"I told you, I'm fine. This is just like last time. Don't worry." I said while smiling at her. She murmured an 'okay' before we left for our room.
As we entered, I saw my laptop was still there, except that it was plugged in the charger.
"I plugged it in, I saw that you dad messaged you. I didn't want the laptop to shut down so I charged it for you." She said, plopping down the soft mattress.
"Thanks, anyways, sorry about earlier, we didn't get to eat the donuts..." I said, feeling sorry.
I shoved her earlier and the donuts fell to the floor.
"Psh nahh, its fine. We could just go out again." She says smiling.
I opened my laptop and saw my Dad's message.
4:53pm
EzekielGreene: "Peridot? What happened to you? I got a call from the academy saying that you blacked out. Good thing that Jasper was there. Message me back by the time you read this"
I rolled my eyes at the message, Dad is very protective of me sometimes.
Me being the only daughter and Heiress made him that way.
5:18pm
PeridotGreene: " I'm fine dad. And yeah, good thing Jasper was there. Don't worry, the doctor said that my wolf just went haywire over something. I'll be fine. Love you guys."
After sending, I shut the computer down and sighed.
I looked at the calendar. Only a few days till my birthday, and Lapis' too. I kinda like her, but she'll meet her beloved soon, so I won't be too clingy with her.
Only a day left till I meet my mate, how great.
I wish he wasn't like those mates that reject you the second he meets you.
That'll hurt. Bad.
But I want to feel loved, not like the family/friend type of love, but the love that makes you smile everyday just because you see them. I want someone that could possible help me get through life.
I was day dreaming, I didn't notice someone's snapping their fingeres in front of me.
"Huh? Oh uh I mean, hey what's up?" I spoke like I was eating the words I was saying.
"You were staring at the wall for a while and I thought you got brain-dead" Lapis said, chuckling to herself.
I raised one of ny eyebrows and she stopped laughing.
"So uh, what do you plan on doing when you see your mate?" She suddenly says.
I was shocked. All this time, I was wishing that my mate was good and I didn't even know what I'm going to say to the person.
"I dunno, it still feels weird but I guess I'll find out what I'll do when I meet him I guess." I said, shrugging.
She looked sad, nodding her head and laying down her bed.
I was confused, why was she asking this all of a sudden.
Then I remembered, her birthday was tomorrow, June 18th.
I face-palmed.
I gotta buy her a gift. Something she could remember me by the time she moves in with her beloved.
When we have mates in the school, the Dean requires us go switch room mates so that the mates/beloved would be together..
Unless you are a werewolf or a vampire, no switching and you and your lover stay in different rooms.
"Hey uhh, I gotta go somewhere. No need to come with me, just stay there okay?"I said, getting my wallet and going out the door.
I know what I have to get for her. It was so easy to find out.
I just hope that she would like it...
I couldn't help but feel.. Sad that Lapis could possibly leaving me so soon, it was fun with her around.
The exact thought of Lapis with a male made my blood boil.
I don't want others stealing my friend.
I guess I'll just have to resist the feeling to rip the guy's throat out for taking Lapis.
If I do that then Lapis will hate me for killing the one she could possibly be with forever.
And I can't have her mad at me for such a long time...
I just have to accept that Lapis would be away from me for such a long period of time.
As I went to human territory, my senses sharpened, you never know what would happen to you in the human territory.
As I bounded up the Jewelry shop, an old woman was selling some roses of different colors.
I bought a single blue rose and payed the woman.
I smiled at her and left a tip. I went to the Jewelry shop next to order something made.
"Excuse me, do you guys make some custom made necklaces here?" I asked a man wearing some kind of an apron.
"Yes we do miss, but that would take you like uh, hundred dollars for that." He looked worried, like telling me not to spend money on such expensive jewelry.
"Nah, its fine, here. I need you to make a tear drop shaped Lapis Lazuli necklace. Please make it extra special. I'd give you a tip if you'd make it shiny and special." I said while giving him a look that said 'PLEEAASSE'.
The man chuckled and agreed. He said it'll take a few hours to make, so he thinks he'll be finished by 8pm or so.
I nodded and gave him the first half of the money and went back to our dorm.
I sneaked around possible thugs and robbers so I wpuld be able to pay the guy when I returned later.
When I went inside our room, Lapis was in the bathroom. Maybe bathing.
Okay...
So far so good.
