Chapter 7

Oh my god! Guys I'm so sorry it took me forever to update! My country is in the middle of a war... I live in Israel and the Arabs keep sending rockets at us all the time so I didn't really have the time or the will to write... Any way, this is the chapter that you've been waiting for... Finding out what Austin is... Haha hope you'll like it! Please review!

Austin POV

I looked at her. She looked at me. I was ready to tell her. But was she ready? What if she will be running off screaming? I couldn't live with myself. I know I have to tell her. There is no other way. I took a deep breath and started telling her everything.

"For generations, our family had always been connected with the moon. They had an entire research about it. Then when one of my great grand parents was about to die and she was only a baby, her father asked the moon spirit to bring her back to life. The moon spirit agreed because she knew how much my family believed in her. When she healed the baby she was different. She had the ability to read other people's minds like me. She also was marked. She had a moon symbol in her right eye. Since that day my entire family from generation to generation got those powers. So did I." Ally looked at me. Her face was unreadable. She must think I'm insane.

"I know it sounds completely insane but in the past people were much more connected to the natural world and the spirits. But today there are technology and electricity so people aren't really aware of the surroundings. I'm not making this up. I know it sounds totally unbelievable but... It's true. I've never told this to anyone before..."
I looked down. She didn't badge. I started to get really nervous and anxious. I shouldn't have said anything. Now she will be running off telling people that I'm insane.

Ally blinked once. Twice. And didn't move again. "Amm... Ally? Are you ok?" I asked nervously. Ally looked at me like she was only now realizing that I was there. She blinked again. Cleared her throat and said:"Amm... I don't.. I don't know." In this moment in time I was so frustrated that I didn't know what she was thinking. I mean, I know it's a lot to digest. I've just told her that I can read minds...

"Did you ever... Did you ever read mine?" She asked looking away from me. I smiled and said:"Well, that's the problem. I can't read yours." She looked at me then, with a questioning look. "And I don't read minds. I feel people. I can only know what they're thinking of me. But with you it's like completely blank. Nothing. Zilch." I chuckled. She looked more relived. But still a bit confused and scared. What do I do?

Ally stared at the ground. I shifted in discomfort. "Ally, if you have anything you would like to ask me, please do. I can give you an answer to anything you would like to know. "
Ally nodded and took a deep breath. "Why can't you?" She asked. I didn't quite understand her. "What?" I asked. She inhaled again and said:"What can't you read my mind?" I looked at her. She was avoiding my eyes. "Honestly, I don't know. I have no idea. This is the first time my abilities aren't working..." I said half smiling. Ally didn't say anything. She kept staring at the ground. "Is there something wrong with me?" She asked. She looked like she was in deep thoughts and I think I saw a tear in her eyes. God! I made her cry. Shit. "Hey, Ally don't cry! Please! There's nothing wrong with you. I'm the one with strange abilities. " I said and I wanted to wipe her tears but when I was about to touch her face she pushed my hand away. "Don't. Just... Don't" she said her voice breaking.

I looked at her. My heart was sinking. What am I gonna do? The only person I've ever told about this pushing me away. I looked away from her. "Ally, I'm not gonna hurt you. I may have some unusual abilities but that doesn't mean I'm a bad person!" I gotta make her understand. "I saw you." She said finally looking at me. She seemed angry. "I saw you that day in the woods. Here. You were standing in a circle of light. You looked at the moon and smiled. This is just insane. You didn't tell me about this. You didn't tell me anything and you ignored each and every request I asked. I'm sorry but I don't think I can do this anymore. Take me home." I looked at her shocked. She saw me. I thought I was alone.

I stood up and said:"As you wish. Let's go. " Ally got up and we both went silently to the car. We drove to her house non of us saying a word. There was a big tenseness in the air. We got to her house and I pulled at her driveway. We both sat in the car. No one is saying a word. I didn't know what to say. "I really thought you would understand. You're the only person I've ever told this. And I told you that because I wanted you to know. I wanted you to in that part of my life too. You're important to me and I don't wanna lose you. I don't want to keep lying to you anymore. I know it's a lot to take. I get that. But you should try at least to understand me." Tears were starting to form in my eyes. "Damn it" I cussed under my breath. Ally looked at me for a second then looked away and then she got out of the car and started running to her house. I sighed and pulled away from her drive way and drove home.

Ally's POV

I crushed on my bed. Holy shit. So Austin has some kind of supernatural powers? And they don't work on me. Ok. Good. I don't know what to think I seriously don't know what to think. Well, I'm mad. So so mad. But.. He confessed to me and it was probably hard on him. He told me something he's never told anyone before... Agh! I don't know what to do. I'm angry and touched at the same time! How can that be possible?

I decided to get a good night sleep and think about it in the morning... I got ready for bed and laid down. I stared at the ceiling, closed my eyes and drifted away to sleep.

I woke up in the morning. I was late for school. Well, it's not like I was planning on going anyway... I got up and ate breakfast. I wasn't really hungry. My thoughts are running in my mind. What to do? Austin told me his secrets and I didn't respond very well and I was the one that told him to tell me. His words flashed through my mind 'You can walk away any time..' He said. Then I heard my reply 'I'm not gonna'. I'm such an idiot! What have I done?!

I went to my room and pulled my phone out. I texted Austin. 'Hey, where are you?' After a few seconds he replied. 'At school.. Ur not here. U k?' I sighed and texted back. 'We need to talk. Can u come?' 'On my way' he texted right away. I laid down and breathed in and out. In and out. After a few minutes I heard a car pulling in the driveway. I got up and went down stairs. When I was at the door Austin was about to knock. I opened it for him. He stood there looking at me. His beautiful eyes that make me melt. His messed up hair looking good as ever. His black T-shirt with a lather jacket, his black jeans pants and his black converse. I smiled at him. He is perfect for me.

He stared back at me, unsure. I took a step towards him. He immediately tensed, surprised, confused. I took another step. He kept staring at me. I was close to him by now. I launched my self at him and hugged him tightly. He was still very tense but after a second he put his arms around me. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." I said and after that he pulled me closer to him, pressing his body to mine. I felt tears in my eyes. He started moving, getting us into the house. He closed the door and pulled away from me, keeping his hands on my waists. He looked at me and smiled. He wiped away my tears. "I said I wouldn't walk away and I did. I'm sorry." I said looking down. He took my chin in his hand and pulled it up so I would have to look at him. "No Ally, I'm sorry." I looked at him and said:"You have nothing to be sorry about. You told me the truth and that takes a lot of courage." He grinned at me and said:"Ally Dawnson is giving me a complement? Well, that must be my lucky day." I giggled and shoved him playfully. He stared down at me smiling. I looked back. He leaned in and kissed me. And I was doomed. The fire was in my veins again, burning me. I kissed him back and pulled him closer to me. He kissed me passionately and I was hooked. We pulled away for air. "Why do you think it's happening?" I asked between breaths. I was talking about the fire. He knew that. He felt that too. "I don't know." He said panting.

He took my hand and intertwined our fingers. Then he pulled me after him towards my bedroom. We sat down on my bed and he said:"Ally, there is something different about you. You make me feel alive. You're extraordinary. I know you would like to know why my powers don't work on you but.. I can't give you an answer.. However, There is someone you could ask so if you want to know we can go ask him." He looked at me sincerely. I looked at him and nodded. He smiled. "Ok then. We will go tomorrow. But today, I want to spent my entire day with you." He said and kissed me again. I smiled to the kiss and put my hands around his neck. He put his hands on my hips and pushed me down on my bed. He was hovering above me. He made his way between my legs and I growled. He started kissing my neck and then started sucking probably leaving a mark. I moaned quietly and I felt him smirking against my skin. I rolled my eyes and smiled. I grabbed his jacket and pulled it off. His hands got under my shirt and grabbing my bare waist. I was about to take off his T-shirt when suddenly I heard a car pulling in the driveway. I froze. That must be my dad. He doesn't know I skipped school. Austin stop kissing me and looked at me confused. "Shit." I said. "My dad's here." Austin's eyes grew big in realization. He got off me and said:"Put your shoes on. We are going out." I looked at him confused but did as he said. He put his jacket on and opened my window. I stood next to him and then he turned and smiled devilishly at me. "Climb." He said pointing on his back. "What?!" I asked in complete shock. "I'm gonna jump, so climb up." He said with all seriousness. I snored at him. He looked at me and narrowed his eyes for a second and then smiled devilishly again. Then he pulled me towards him kissing me hard. I felt dizzy and then I felt him pulling away and with one quick move I was on his back. Before I can respond he jumped and I wanted to scream but I knew my dad would hear me. Then we were on the ground. Safe and sound. I was still shocked. Austin noticed that and didn't put me down. He started walking towards his car which now, I realized, was parted near the sidewalk so my dad probably thought it belongs to the neighbors. Smart move, Austin. We got to his car and that's when he put me down. I looked at him and started to get mad. He chuckled and said:"Yeah, sorry about that. But I needed you to be dizzy for a moment." He winked at me. Fucking winked. My legs started to get weak. Damn him.

He opened the door for me and I sat down. He walked to his side quickly. When he got in I asked:"Where are we going?" He smirked at me and said:"That's a surprise." I rolled my eyes at him and he chuckled. He started the car and drove off.

So... What do you guys think? I hoped you liked it. I'm really really sorry it took me so long to update but when you're in a war you don't really have the will to sit down and write.. So you guys please review! It would make me feel much better and it will give me the will to continue!
