It makes my heart happy! :) Yay, you guys we finally get to discover Adam's story and I am so incredibly happy with it; I hope you love it. I seriously appreciate all your support more than I could ever express so thank y'all for that. Hope you're all enjoying your day! -Carrie xo
"I'll give you two some time then."
"Thank you sir. Pleasure meeting you."
"Same here Adam."
With that Dad closed the door and went back to his usual routine. Adam turned towards me and before I had a second to protest him being there he covered my mouth with his incredibly firm hand.
"Please B, let me talk okay? And whatever you do, don't scream! Promise?"
I just shook my head up and down unable to muster any words. He released his grip and I jerked my head away quickly. Adam sat down on the edge of my bed as I watched him the entire time.
"So, how are you feeling? Your dad said you were sick today."
"Oh, I'm doing alright. I think it's just a bug going around."
"Don't pull that crap with me Belle. We both know why you didn't go to school today and it definitely wasn't cause of a bug. You're scared of me, aren't you?"
I never heard Adam sound so stern before. It was surprisingly incredibly attractive and what am I even saying, the boy's not even human.
"Adam, you have to know how sorry i am about running off. It's just I didn't know what else to do." I whispered this next part fearing my Dad might hear. "You turned into some kind of werewolf thing right before my eyes. Did you really expect me to stay?"
"Well no, I didn't. But I did hope you would."
"You have to look at this from my point of view. Your friend turning into some sort of animal right before your eyes; it's incredibly frightening."
"You're right Belle. I didn't think of it like that. I'm sorry. But now it's extremely important you listen to me. I have to tell you about me; the real me."
"O...okay. I'm ready." I managed to stutter.
"Wow, okay. I can't believe I'm actually telling someone this. You should know you're the first person, outside my family, to know this. Feel honored." Adam joked.
Even in the most serious of times this kid could crack a joke like nothing was wrong. What had I gotten myself into?
"This is an incredible honor and I will treasure it always." I sarcastically replied.
"Good. So basically when I was born a witch placed a curse on me that on the eve of my tenth birthday I would transform into a beast when the sun went down. I'm sure you're a tad confused about the witch thing. I'm not from here. Like a normal town like this. I'm from somewhere called Enchansonia. It's a land of fairytale creatures; those things, they really do exist. Anyways, after my tenth birthday I would transform to this beast like being every night. I was never a danger to anyone. Well that was until this wolf hunter Grosman came to town looking for his next kill. That was a few weeks before we relocated here. My parents figured he wouldn't find us if we settled in a normal place like this. Fairytale beings rarely leave home except for extreme circumstances like this. We thought he wouldn't follow us, but he did. He was, he was...the man I killed. He was trying to kill me that night. I was only trying to protect myself and I guess I got a little carried away. I didn't want to kill him, only scare him enough for him to go home and leave me and my family alone. I was only trying to protect them. I'm so sorry I didn't tell you the truth when we met Belle. I wanted to, I really did. I had to made sure I could trust you first though. Now I know I can so that's why I told you all this. Belle?"
Thoughts swirled through my mind at a hundred miles an hour and before I could manage to get even one of them out my body took over and I collapsed into Adam's lap.
