“We will soon be there.” Emma glared at her friend, Annabel, before she could stop herself. ‘We will soon be there’ has been repeated more times than she could count since they had started this journey. It’s been two weeks, and there has been no change. Every time, at every last turn, Annabel would mention that she was changing tracks, that they had to go through longer routes, because that’s what her guts instructed her to do, and that she would never disobey the ‘guts.’Emma swore that if they took another route that would take them another week, she would abandon her friend. As a matter of fact, she wouldn’t have continued on this wild goosechase, if she wasn’t supporting her sister, Amelia. When her sister’s master had launched an attack on the latter for blocking her mind path, Amelia had turned hostile, and was beginning to shift to her Jaguar form—when she had been on the call with Freya. Emma had to knock her sister out, so as to continue the call. From then on, Prescott h
Emma inhaled deeply, looking at the spot which she thought would be the best for the act she was about to commit now. She looked at her outstretched hands, turned them over and looked at her whitish palms. She wasn't sure what to do, but just like she had traced the mage out of a whim, so she would do this. There was no other choice. She had to find the person that had been trailing them all this while. She wouldn’t be able to survive otherwise, didn’t think her sister or Prescott would either.Letting out a breath of ‘let’s do this', she slowly sat down on the grassy path, an undertone made from Prescott's magic, when he had made a shade for them. Emma was still amazed at the sheer size of the tree at the realness of it. She pondered, as she tried to center herself, if the tree would hold when they left, or disappear into the nothingness it had come from. Deep breath in and out. She commanded her nostrils, crossing her legs on each other, and palming her hands together before her f
"Bloodugering Hell!" Emma screamed, moving back ten steps away from the dusty cupboard she had tried to clean, while staring apprehensively at the lone cockroach that had made its way out of the cupboard in response to her simulative clean up process. The cockroach negligent of her scaredy face, scurried back into the dusty cupboard, leaving no trace behind. Skimming her slender fingers through her deep red hair, while staring at the little opening where the cockroach had passed through, Emma heaved a sign of relief. She tossed the now dusty brown rag on the floor which she had used earlier to clean out the kitchen table that stood near the morphy sink, and trudged tiredly to the window which stood at the far end of the kitchen, overlooking the thick dark forest. Emma watched keenly from the slightly broken window, at a rab
Sharp knocks, in quick succession, bustling against the wooden front door woke Emma up. And for a tiny second, she thought she was still in Florida getting cozy on her queen size bed, until her eyes caught two cockroaches playing around on the floor and her back protested in pain at her for lying it against the kitchen table. She winced, and rubbed her head dejectedly, noting that she had fallen asleep,while thinking about her life, and how she would go about the arrangements that would make sure she gets to the county's university next week. The thoughts now rushing back like a river overflowing its bank still assailed her. Now thinking on it again, Emma knew that she had to get a work or something that she could do to support herself financially. But for the life of her, She couldn't think of any work sh
Emma was appalled, and for a minute she couldn't move or say anything. The words which Derek had spoken hung heavily on her, it numbed her actually for a minute. Of all the things the stupid jerk could attribute to her; a mistress? And the way he looked at her, like she was some piece of trash. "Hey, are you dumb too??" He asked with a gibe, unfolding his hands from each other. Then removing an imaginary tint from his hair, he looked at her in disgust, from her hair which she knew was cripsy with dust, to her feet which were not faring better either in those tight white tennis shoe. He hissed after the eye travel, and put his hands into the front pockets of his denim jeans, still staring d
"Where's Derek?" Emma asked Clem. She had turned back to see Clem and the other two guys walk into the house after her, but not Derek. She refused to think on why she was searching him out. 'What's there, if not to trouble him the more'She thought, smiling to herself as she remembered the look on his face when she double tripped him. "He might be outside" Clem replied, staring at the ceilings of the living room. 'Outside?'Emma thought. She could feel herself boiling up again. She concluded that Derek was a real piece of work. "What's he doing outside?, can't you see we need more hands her
Shane watched the duo in front of him spring apart at his voice, and smiled. He remembered they were holding hands when he walked into the kitchen and concluded that this would be the beginning of an interesting affair, which he would be delighted to watch. He couldn't wait to see his soon to be alpha smitten over a human girl, although he couldn't help but wonder whether she was his mate or he was just attracted to her. Whichever one, he hasn't ever looked at a girl twice, so this drama would be too sweet to miss, Shane concluded. He had watched her trip Derek, and the look on Derek's face when Clem touched her. And one thing he was so sure about was that, the girl intrigued Derek. Damn! She intrigued him too. She had looked so hot when she performed that acrobatics on Derek. So hot. Looking at them now, both scratching their necks
Emma met Clem surveying the master bedroom, with his two hands in the back pockets of his denim jeans, as she walked in. His back was towards her, and she had to admit; he was really a fine specimen, with a nice ass. She knew that Clem liked her already. His eyes had looked dreamy when he had brushed the dirt off her face. Emma thought she liked him too, she felt comfortable around him; unlike someone with the deepest blue eyes she had ever seen. Derek made her insides tingle. She feels so nervous whenever she's around him, her body temperature running up each time. Time had stopped for her, when she had jumped on him while running away from those damn cockroaches.
