Howls And Hiding
A few minutes later Jenna starts putting plates in front of us. As soon as she puts down my plate we all hear wolves, howling wolves.”Dawar take Dusk to the safe room” Jenna says and I look confused.
“Safe room? We have a safe room for howling wolves? You’re joking they are just wolves” I say and Dawar grabs my wrist, not hard but enough to make me get up and follow him over to the living room we head over to the stairs and he taps the side of the staircase very lightly in three spots. Soon it starts moving.
I pull my wrist away “What the heck is this Dawar?”
“I will explain later just get in please Dusk,” Dawar says and I nod. I walk inside the now fully open hallway and walk through it to get to a room. It looks like it’s encased in metal, definitely not silver but it’s certainly a type of metal.
I see the doorway start to close and Dawar turns around and walks away. He’s not gonna leave me here right!? Please don’t let him leave me here. By this time the entranceway is completely closed off.
I walk around the room and see it’s made for the person inside to be comfortable for a long time. It has bean bag chairs, rocking chairs, gaming consoles, batteries, and a lot of other things. It also has multiple months worth of food, water, and even sweets.
My thoughts stopped when I heard the entrance start to open. My hope was quickly demolished when I saw a dozen wolves start walking into the safe room. I was as still as I possibly could have been. The panic started to rise when they started surrounding me. They all growled and bit at me. They didn’t injure me but one lunged at me, I screamed. Suddenly before the wolf got to me it felt like all the energy I had left me.
They all hit the ground… dead. I fell to my knees as I saw that Dawar, Jenna, and Aaron were watching. Dawar walked in and I looked up at him through my hair “stop, please. I… I don’t want to hurt you too.” I started to cry when he sat down and hugged me quietly telling me everything was alright. He picked me up and brought me to our room. He put me on my bed and leaned me up against the wall as he sat at the other end of my bed. The room was a wreck. It looked like there was a tornado that came in.
“Dusk you’re not normal none of us are.” He says and sighs he puts his hand out and lays it flat he mumbles something and a letter appears in his hand. “Your mom wanted to give this to you but she died before she could. Your dad, he died because his mate died, because your mom died”
I look at him confused “What do you mean how could someone else die and you die because that other person died?”
He sighs again and tries to explain “It starts as a feeling of sorrow then it feels like you’re being turned inside out and you mentally can’t handle it so your mind stops everything that’s keeping you alive and you die” he hands me the letter “this will explain everything”
I grab the letter and open it, it’s blank. I get the urge to put my hand over the paper and that’s exactly what I do. Writing starts to appear. I can tell it’s my mother’s handwriting.
It says;
If you’re reading this, I’m dead or too much of a wimp to tell you and “accidentally” put this under your bed for you to find. If it’s the first one I love you so much if it’s the second well... I’m sorry. Dusk, you’re not normal. Though if I’m dead you probably know that by now. You are a werewolf you know the thing you really loved to read about. But you’re a special werewolf you’re one of the first werewolf children’s, children meaning you’re a lycan. But you also have your great grandmother’s sorcery so you’re even more powerful. You are going to go to a school for supernaturals and you will supposedly meet your mate and at first, you will hate him but you will come to love him. You have read about everything you need to know and from here on out you will start regaining your memories of learning your powers but they will only come out if you allow them. Dusk, you need to be careful you also have a brother I was going to wipe his memories but he ran. His name is Draco. He’s really nice and he is also supposedly going to the school you are. Bring this note with you and tell him to put his hand over it and it will explain everything. I know this all because of a prophecy it’s not very much to go on. It says ‘A pair of lycon’s will have two children they will both be lycon but one will have something else inside of them. They will be separated but meet at the school of supernaturals they will both meet their mate but it will all come at a price their lives will be taken at that school’ if you die at that school I’m so sorry, but all prophecies can be changed, you can forge your own destiny.
I look at Dawar “What happens now?” I ask.
“We send you to school tomorrow everything is there for you and you shouldn’t overwhelm yourself you should also get your grandmothers spell book tomorrow”
I nod knowing I really have no choice. This will be the worst start of my sophomore year. I hate school so a magic school is gonna suck. “What happens if I don’t go to this school?”
“Then people will come and get you. That’s why I left so suddenly, why I wasn’t able to say bye to you” He says putting his hand on the back of his neck. My stomach growls and he smiles “but it seems you’re still the bottomless pit I left” we both laugh at that.
A few minutes more of talking before Jenna comes in with chow mein noodles and beef and broccoli. I mumble a thank you as she hands it to us. She smiles and leaves “Do you think they are afraid of me?” I ask Dawar and he instantly shakes his head.
“No I just think it took them by shock you used very powerful magic and you’re not dead. But you are bruising, I can sense it.” He lightly pushes at my right shoulder and I pull it away from him feeling the pain of needles pushing into my skin. “I can heal it for you if you want” I shake my head.
“I know by healing it you’re just getting rid of the mark and the pain transfers to you” he smiles.
“You read too much but yes you’re right” he starts to eat his beef and broccoli. “Be careful tomorrow please?” he says and I nod.
“Of course I will” we stayed up for most of the night talking, laughing, singing, and laughing more because we are horrible singers. We both fell asleep as soon as we saw the sunrise. We knew it was the last day we would see each other for a while and we wanted to make the most of it and we did.
