“John we can’t leave him here, they’ll find him and kill him, or worse they will train him as one of them!” A womans voice screamed.
“I know love but he can’t come with us, it’s too dangerous for him. We will have to find somewhere to hide him from them.” A male answered his wife's plea. The couple looked down at the bundle in their arms, they looked down...on me!
I cooed up at them and they smiled sweetly down at me before charging out the door. I looked over the woman's shoulder and saw a fire spark inside the house. We climbed into a car and out the back window I could see that we were in a forested area with a bunch of huge houses and everything was on fire. I could hear the screams of people as they were burned alive and the cries of horror of the few that survived only to watch all of their loved ones were unable to be rescued. My eyes closed as i tried to block out the sounds...
I sat up screaming and sweaty. My door was thrown open and Rufus hurried to my side to try and calm me down but I couldn't focus on anything. The screaming was still in my head, I felt like I was the one on fire, my body was burning, my head was spinning and so was the room. Next to me Rufus tried to touch me but yelped and pulling his hand away I saw it was steaming. He then noticed the room, my powers were on a rampage, wind was tossing things around in the room. The dresser was thrown into the air only to be caught in a mid air whirlpool, except no water was their.
Rufus looked at me as I continued to scream and thrash around on the sheets. Slowly raising a hand he summoned water to his palm then his whole body. He pulled me into his now covered arms, as water met burning skin steam and mist surrounded us. He rocked me from side to side, “Hey, hey I’m here. There's nothing to be afraid of it was just a bad dream-”
“No.” I gasped, “Fire, there's fire everywhere. Someone, someone help my pack! Not a dream, not a dream, not a dream.” My eyes frantically flicked around the room for something to hold onto as an anchor as I started to have a panic attack. They landed on Rufuses calm eyes deep and dark as the night sky. He smiled down at me and as I felt hot tears spring from my eyes I curled into his embrace, my head tucked neatly under his chin.
I felt his throat start to vibrate as he started to hum a tune and rock me in his arms. Slowly my tears dried up, my breaths deepened and my heart slowed to its regular tempo. My hand clenched into a fist around some of his shirt as I took a couple breaths then sat up. I kept my eyes lowered as I pushed away from hi and sat up against the headboard of the bed. Crossing my legs I laced my hands together, resting them in my lap.
It was silent in the room as I kept my head hung, my hair covering my face like a veil. Then I felt a hand on the top of my head and glancing up I saw Rufus smiling at me with love in his eyes. My eyes started watering again as I move to the side a little allowing him to come and sit next to me. I laid my head on his shoulder and he wrapped his arm around my shoulders, playing with the strands of my hair.
After a few more minutes of silence he spoke, “Are you alright?”
“It was just really realistic dream and I could feel all of the people's pain just like with real pack mates.” I said shakaly, “I’m so confused Rufus, first my eyes, then my abilities grow stronger an-”
"Your ability is stronger?"
"Yeah, I’m not only able to see pieces but their whole life from the point at where the universe decided what Type they were going to be."
"That's...very strange and you're sure you've only ever been able to see parts of their life?"
“I’m sure and thats not all.”
“What else happened?”
“My dad...I believe that I am adopted or at least only one of my dads is my actual dad.”
“What? How?”
“Well two people realized that they didn’t want their child an-”
“Okay, I get how it happens but why would you think that?”
“Well my senses have been enhancing lately to the point that I can hear something across the room and then there's the fact that i am a kit and both Nicholas and Angleo are claws.”
“Evan so your family loves you and you should be proud if you are adopted for you have found a very loving parents and siblings.”
I sigh and sit back up Rufus’ arm still around me, “True but I still want to know the truth.”
“Why don’t you trust your parents to tell you when their ready, if there is something like that going on.” He said still playing with my hair.
“I guess…”
“Good. now better get ready, your school started half an hour ago.” he leaned over kissing my forehead.
“What!” I jumped up scrambling to the dresser which had a change of clothes in it. Rufus chuckled and walked to the door, “I have breakfast ready down stairs.”
“Thanks,” I smile at his back as he walked out of the room closing the door behind him. Turning back to the dresser I got undressed and slipped on the dark blue, V-neck t-shirt and black and red leather pants. I reattached my chains around my neck and loosely pull up my hair.
Then going downstairs i saw Rufus waiting by the counter with a plate of pancakes. Grinning I walk over, grabing my jacket and backpack on the way, and sit down. “Thank you for making this.”
“No problem,” He said watching me eat, “Once your done go to school I’ll clean up and prepare for tonight.”
“Don’t you have school?”
“Well mine is on a bit of a different time management then yours.”
I raised an eyebrow, “Huh?”
“My school is on the weekends so that I can work during the week.” He said as he came up behind me and began to finger comb my hair. I hummed as he mothered me and finished up my pancakes. When I was done I looked at Rufus and smiled, “Thank you for everything you did today.”
Smiling back he pulled me into a hug, “Of course, I told you before, ‘I’ll always be here for you, whether it’s to patch you up or support your mind, I will always be here for you.’”
I Hugged him back then letting go I walked out the door to my car waiting for me. Tossing my backpack and jacket into the passenger seat I start up the car. Rufus comes out and leans in the open window, “Are you working tonight as well or…”
“I think I’ll leave it to you tonight, I’ll spend the evening with my family.”
“Got it,” He said then stepping away he waved goodbye and I pulled away from the curb, towards my school. It was a short ride there and as soon as I parked and locked my car I ran to the front desk for a late pass. Once I got it, I made my way to my class and knocking on the door, I waited for the teacher to welcome me in.
It didn’t take long till the teacher opened the door and handing her my pass I went back to my desk. I sat down, setting my bag beside me and hanging my jacket on the back of my chair. Next to me Adian Leaned over whispering, “You good?”
I gave a silent nod and with that the school day passed without a hitch till I walked out into the parking lot with Aiden by my side to see Lee and Han by my car. Raising an eyebrow I ask, “What are you two doing here?”
“Well we were worried about you. You weren’t doin’ so well yesterday so we decided to check up on you.” Lee said stepping forward.
I put on a smile, “I’m fine, thank you for checking up on me.”
I walk past them to my car, “Are you sure because Rufus called us and asked if we had ever experienced anything weird around you, besides you know the usual stuff.”
“He did?” I ask turning around. They both nodded, “Yes so what's really going on?”
“Nothing,” I saw turning back my car and reach to open my car door, “I’m fine.” I pulled the handle of the door, there was a loud bang and the next thing I know I am holding the door of my car in my hands.
“Fine you say?” Han and Lee ask at the same time while Aiden whistled.
“Shut up.” I growl as I try to reattach the door to the car but no matter what I tried it refused to cooperate. Sighing in defeat I toss it in the passenger seat and turn back to my friends. Aiden tried to hide a smile while Han and Lee stared at me for an explanation.
Running a hand through my hair I said, “I think that I am a hybrid.”
“What?” They all yelled causing a few students to look over in curiosity. I put a finger to my lips, “Shhhhh!”
They quieted instantly and Lee asked, “What do you mean? Does this have something to do with your dizzyness last night?”
“Yes it does, My ability to read souls is stronger than ever and so are all of my senses.”
Aiden stepped forward looking deep in thought, “If you think about it, it does make sense. Both of his dads are claws and it is literally impossible for two claws to give birth to a kit but then that would mean that one of your dads cheated on the other, but how did the other not know?”
"There's also the fact that I was born two years before my parents were married.”
“You were?” Han asked raising an eyebrow, “Then why not bring it up with uncle Nick?”
“I tried too,” I sigh, “But he just dodged around the subject and father isn’t home enough to ask him so I’m just leaving it alone.”
“Hey don't worry,” Aiden said coming to my side, “They’ll probably tell you when they're ready.” I smiled down at him.
“Yeah,” Lee said putting an arm around my shoulders, “I mean there may not be anything to say anyway. You could be the one exception to all the pureblood couples having pureblood children.”
“Thanks guys,” I say wrapping my arms around them all as Han looked on smiling. “Get in here Han.” Smiling wider he stepped forward completing the group hug.
Then separating I smile at all of them, “Thank you, guys.”
“Anytime,” Han said, “Remember you are our beloved Fra and we would do anything for you.”
I reached my hand behind his neck and he mirrored my moves, closing our eyes we touched foreheads. The letting go I get in my car, “Alright I have to get home to make dinner, where are you guys heading?”
“I have to do a few errands before I head home,” Aiden said.
“Lee and I are heading to a movie then over to your bar, you really need to give it a name, to work. Are you working tonight?”
“Na I have to stay home tonight with the family, at least what there is of it.” I whispered the last part. “So I guess I’ll see you all tomorrow.”
“See ya,” Lee and Han said waving, then turning they walked out of the school parking lot and back on the sidewalk. Aiden grinned and waved as well before heading to his car. Smiling at the backs of my supportive friends I think to myself, I wonder if I should have told them about the dream? No, I don’t even know what it means and I don’t want to drag them into something that I shouldn’t.
Shaking my head I start my car and pull out onto the road, heading toward my house. Once there I pull up the driveway to a huge white stone mansion with a huge yard and a garden on the left side filled with many different flowers. Parking in front of the huge wooden doors with watery engravings, waves and many swirls. Walking up the front stairs I open the door to a few servants who bowed saying, “Welcome home young master.”
“Yes.” a deep voice said and looking up the main stairway I saw a man in a black suit and tie holding a folder in his left hand, “Welcome home son.”
“Hello, father.”
