Chapter 14
After waiting for a few seconds that dwindle, I laugh. This is the first time in almost three days that I've been totally alone. And the fact is, a day ago I begged and pleaded for a moment like this.
But now, true loneliness is entering my chest. I guess I've gotten used to his stalker attitude, his quirky laugh, his extremely attractive appearance. As much as I hate to say it, Xavier has grown on me.
Looking around, I smile as I spot a stream a few feet away. The water almost clear and not surrounded by sharp rocks, this will suit my purposes well. With a determined look, I grab a long, thick stick and use it as a walking stick. The beautiful oasis of slightly heated miracle water winks at me as I reach it, stumbling with my stick. Scanning the area once more, I become convinced that no one is watching. Not that anyone wants to look anyway.
I take off my sturdy jeans that are too big for me, pulling my shirt over my he

Heading to my locker, I turn the knob to retrieve my stuff, and after a bit of thought, I open Xavier's as well so his fans don't block my locker by trying to flirt with him. I look for him, this blue haired guy with perfectly tamed hair that I would recognize anywhere...There he is!I join his group, trying to make my way through the planets in order to reach the blinding sun. Xavier spots me, and smiles. "Move over," he asks and the girls part like the Red Sea, leaving a royal path for the man himself. "You liked it better when I didn't go to your school, didn't you?" he questions knowingly. I laugh, as if it were the dumbest question I've ever heard, smiling at him. I admit... Maybe I did it to annoy the girls."I didn't really know you until you decided to come to my school," I whisper, leaning in close to her ear so they couldn't hear the snap of my remark. All they probably notice, though, is how close I am to him

"This is your room," Xavier leads me to a narrow door and opens it for me. I stare in wonder at the curved ceilings, the magnificent bed that is three times as big as me...I squint at him, wary. "You don't sleep in this room too, do you?"Yi happens to hear my statement in passing and smiles. "No," he answers for the blushing blue-haired idiot next to me, "but it's right next door." I turn to him, smiling at the blush now spreading across his features."There's another room available," Xavier explains simply, "but it's connected to Wes' room.""It might not be the best idea to take that other room," Yi laughs, "you might wake up to find your innocence stolen.""Yi!" Xavier elbows him and Yi starts to laugh even harder. Once I looked at him, I realized that he really did look the youngest of all. I wonder if it has something to do with his underdeveloped talent.

My eyes widen as shouts and screams erupt elsewhere. Slipping to my feet, I walk to the door, trying to find the source of all this noise. However, another thought comes to my attention before I leave my new room.The floor scratches my toes as I retreat in search of clothes not wrinkled by sleep. I have no suitcase, my old clothes too pitiful for the guys to kidnap with me. Rummaging through the drawers, I find nothing but dust and old screws. "Where are they?" I mutter after opening the last drawer, "those omniscient werewolves must have put shirts somewhere."A horrific gust of wind blasts the window, the glass banging against the stone walls. Gale-swept leaves soon follow, flying into my room by the dozens. Running to the problem, I close it, the sound echoing through the mansion.I stare at the horizon through the transparent surface, amazed at the commotion before my eyes. The wind swirls, framed by a barrage of da

"Legend?" I question."It's more like a prophecy," he quickly corrects."What does it say?""Well," Jake cuts in, his voice like a knife, "it talks about a pack, led by a Spier who has the abilities of both a werewolf and a Spier. With these supernatural powers combined, the Spier has a super talent that will allow his pack to defeat the red-eyed wolf and destroy the red rock. After that, the Shifters will cease, as will the werewolves. Basically, werewolves exist to fight the Shifters.""We have a copy in the library. I recommend you read it for a better understanding than what Jake just gave you," Ray says coldly, then turns away and walks down the hall."Wow," jokes Yi, "sounds like someone is cranky.""Well, my explanation was pretty awful," Jake says."Don't worry, I'll read it," I quickly reassure him. What Jake said makes almost no

"Get up!" I throw my pillow over the ever-irritating mop of blue hair. If I could, I'd punch his face, but he has that and the rest of his body buried under a mountain of blankets.A groan emerges from the lifeless bundle, then silence."Don't make me say it twice," I squint, crossing myself to his side. I stare at the shimmering blue that always manages to distract me, blinking annoyingly as it nearly blinds me with its light.He turns slightly, and I can now see his forehead and unnaturally long eyelashes. Jealousy burns through me as I look at the revealed part of his face. Isn't the girl supposed to be the pretty one?On a whim, I reach out to him and slap the package as hard as I can. There are miserable moans as the man emerges like a butterfly from a cocoon, holding his arm in indignation."You could have just used a pillow," he scoffs, though still under the spell of slee

"Oh, you're back," I smile as Wes leads the way to the kitchen, followed by a pack of werewolves. Yi is bed-headed, his disheveled black hair standing straight up. His eyes are bloodshot, as if he just had a bad night's sleep."Are you better now?" asks Wes with concern."Yes." I gesture toward the dining room just off the kitchen. "Just go sit in there and I'll bring the food in soon.""You're amazing, Mona," Wes laughs, walking over and wrapping an arm around my waist. I stiffen a little, amazed at how completely different it feels when Xavier touches me. Xavier tends to send sparks of flame through my body, while Wes freezes me like an ice cube. With another carefree smile, he sneaks up and kisses me on the cheek.I pat him on the arm, slightly angry but still playful. "What are you thinking, trying to steal a kiss from me?" I ask in a teasing tone. But inwardly, I wonder why, exactly, I don't fee

"You don't understand," Wes begins, "having us for a week is the ultimate trophy. Our wives get to brag the whole time they have us. Our appearance is above the ordinary, especially Xavier's crazy hair, and we are famous among Moonlight viewers. We are like what you would call "trophy wives," but we are temporary and also men, of course. ""Trophy men..." I chuckle softly."I don't know what we're going to do without Xavier... it'll be a scandal among the women," Jake shakes his head ruefully, "let's hope none of us mate too."I scan the area for any hint of Ray, then slowly lean in. "Why do women even bid on Ray? He's practically a monster, and so rude to boot!" I whisper, my voice lingering on the wind before it reaches their ears. Wes bursts out laughing, Xavier soon joining in. Jake is the only one who manages to stay calm, answering my question softly."You haven't seen him among the ladies...and he's practically a mirror image of Xavier, minus the hair and a few other details.

Wandering through the corridors, I suddenly discover the faint figure of a man lingering against the stone wall. He turns, as if waiting for someone, slumping until he is sitting on the floor. There are a few moments of complete and utter stillness, then he rises regally to his feet. The lights suddenly go out, dying against the crushing darkness, as he flips a switch. He stops, then starts walking. Not sure why, I follow him, almost hypnotized by the footsteps echoing in my head.At the end of the corridors, a faint light lingers, intensifying with each fear-filled step. My heart seems to beat even more erratically as we walk, my steps mirroring his. As the light shines on the man, the outline begins to illuminate and I instantly know who it is. He enters the room, deliberately leaving the door wide open, and I enter."Ray," I say softly as the man stands before me."This is the library. Sorry about the lights, by the w
