Once I opened my eyes the shadow moved back and I got to see that it was just the lady.Uhm, Sarah. Yes, Sarah.The sun was shining brightly as she was looking down on me on the bench making her appear like a shadow.I was just getting paranoid now.+I sat up.She was sitting beside me, humming a soft song to herself."Oh you're awake." She smiled at me.And you're out of jail, how?But I didn't say that out loud, obviously.But I couldn't hide the surprise on my face at the apparent fact that she was out here, free."What are you doing here?"She chuckled lightly."I'm sorry if I gave you a fright, I was let out this morning, I assume my interrogation is over. I just really wanted to see you before I leave. So when I found you here I was so glad, but you were asleep, so I decided to wait. It's not like I'm in a hurry or anything."She finished that off with another chuckle.She likes laughing.Says the girl who has known her for about two minutes.I'm good at deducing characters.Sur
What?I thought I hadn't heard him properly.I have been known to have selective hearing once a while but this, this wasn't selective hearing.He said it.And he even repeated it."I told her before we left the pack house that she can stay, there." I pulled back to look at him.Was he being serious? He spoke to her? He told her she can stay? Just within the three seconds I took the lead to the patio?It doesn't really take an hour to say, 'You can stay' you know.Shut up."For-, for how long?" My voice was quiet."For as long as you want her to."It was dark out now and even though we were close to the house, it was still dark around us since all the lights in the house were still off.The moon had come out already and was giving off a little light, but that light was blocked out by the roof of the trees on top of us.So where we stood was pretty dark.But he still kept his eyes directly on mine."Really?" For as long as I want?He was giving me that choice?He stood there in silence
I smiled as I looked at the kids having fun, but when I turned to Sarah, all I saw was bitterness. For a moment I almost didn't recognize her. It quickly cleared up though and I saw that she was indeed bitter, bitter with pain.She misses her son. Matt.After a while of silence as she watched the children she spoke up."The night of the attack," she started and immediately my heart sunk. I knew whatever was coming wasn't going to be pleasant."I didn't escape alone. My mate wasn't at home with me, but my son was. So I run and escaped with my little boy, Matt." His name brought a small sad smile to her face.They escaped together?"Those of us that could get to the opneing on time used the tunnels to get out of the pack unseen. But d o much was going on that night, everyone was frantic and panicking. And in the midst of all that chaos, Matt got injured." She paused and looked down."It was my fault, I should have never let go of his hand. But he was so small, his hand just slipped out
I shut the front door and leaned against it.+After spending a good three or so hours in the backyard trying to clear my unclearable mind, I decided to get in.Also because the weather was beginning to get chilly. I was suddenly extra cold.I had a lot to think about. About Sarah's feelings and her point of view. And then I tried to see it from as many people's point of view as I could.I tried to think about how people who aren't in love with Damon felt about all he did and all its caused.I've been directly affected, yes. But I've learned to let it go. But there are people who haven't. People who've lost so much and haven't been able to start healing.I sighed. Something needs to be done.1Damon was sitting on one of the couches in the living room working on his laptop but the look in his eyes seemed distant. He wasn't actually doing anything, he just sat there with the laptop. Doing nothing really.He turned to look at me.He studied me for a moment before he shut his laptop and si
I woke up in the middle of the night unable to fall asleep again.Great.+I was just thinking as usual.I couldn't help but feel that Sarah was a bit mad at me, mad at me for letting go. All this time with her and I never realised what a grudge she still held against Damon.I must be very unobservant.Hm.But then again, maybe our emotions were just all over the place yesterday.And the fact that she's literally still mourning her son. I had to try and understand where she was coming from. And I hoped she would try and see things from my point of view as well. I wasn't just gonna up and leave.I-, we, were going to try and make things right. As much as we can.By this time, my train of thought had already led me to the kitchen looking for something to eat.Well I can't sleep, might as well make myself busy.I took pretzel from the fridge and warmed it up shortly in the microwave while I considered either drinking tea or coffee. I wanted hot chocolate but we were out... since I drank i
"What?" I asked simply because it felt like the command came out of nowhere.I shift often now, on my own, so the actual shifting isn't a problem anymore unlike before. It just caught me by surprise.+"I said shift." He repeated looking me straight in the eye. He'd seen my wolf form many times before, but he said he couldn't get enough looks at her. She was so 'absolutely stunning', in his words.As if that didn't inflate her already large head, he just couldn't keep his eyes off her,well, us, and his wolf was another matter all together.I could almost feel his excitement from within Damon. Actually, it was my own wolf that I couldn't really feel today, and she was being quite silent.Hm, who knew that one day she'd actually listen to me and shut up?He stood up from where we had been sitting and was already removing his shirt and stepping out of his pants.I turned away just in time before he removed his boxers. Yes I'd seen him naked before but that didn't stop me from getting flus
As soon as we got home Damon left again almost immediately.He left without saying a word, he just escorted me back and took his keys and left.I assumed he was going on a run again because he didn't even bother to change his shorts, but then again, he did go with his car...+Maybe he's going far?I sat at the kitchen counter, eating virtually all the fruits I could find. At the back of my mind I had decided that I should start eating healthy for some reason.Call me paranoid but I didn't feel like taking my chances this time.I wanted to make better choices.So I was in the middle of my second pack of chocolate covered strawberries when the door opened.-Me saying I want to make better choices, doesn't mean that I'm actually good at making them-Mavis walked in with Sarah closely behind her and they had their hands full with shopping bags that were crying to be recycled.No, honestly, the bags literally had 'Recycle me' written on them in green.They had obviously gone grocery shoppi
The sun was literally at its peak in the sky, tormenting us with it's harsh rays.+ Damon decided to drive us instead of walking to the pack house. The car he brought I had not seen before, he just pulled up out of nowhere. I remember going into the garage one day with him to see his small collection of cars. I'd seen them all, and this one wasn't part. It was an underground garage with an opening for the cars at the back of the house near the garden shed. We entered through the far end of the foyer, a door that had a couple of steps leading downstairs, but not as far down as where the underground cells are located. I guess that's what contributed to the lack of stuffy dungeon air in this place. That and the fact that this place was actually nice and almost cosy looking. These stairs even had a rail guiding them down. He flicked a light on at the end of the staircase and I watched as small blue and white balls of light lit up one by one along the edges of the room. As they came o
