Tyler

2~ Nightly visit

-Veronica-

As I walked up to the Morris residence I felt like I was being watched. I looked up into one of the windows and Mr. Morris was standing there. 'We need to talk' I mouthed to him and he nodded before disappearing out of the window. I turned to looked at the night sky before I heard the door open. I turned around just in time to see Mrs. Morris being the first one out of the door.

She ran to me and gave me one of her motherly hugs. I couldn't help myself from throwing my arms around her for a hug too. She is now the closest thing I have to a mother and for Mr. Morris he is the closest thing to a father I have. He came up beside us and pulled both, Mrs. Morris, who is now slightly sobbing, and I into a hug. I sighed remembering why I was here.

I slowly pulled away from the hug and looked at the both of them with a small smile. The last they knew I wasn't talking, but I was about to surprise them, even though my voice is weak and quiet from not talking for so long. "Hi Mr. and Mrs. Morris, I have come with good news I hope" they looked at me shocked I was talking but encouraged me to continue. "I'm staying here for a long while and the next thing has to do with Tyler" I looked at their frowning faces "what has something to do with Tyler, sweetheart?" I looked down at the ground as my cheeks turned pink "I found Tyler today leaving the school late and... um...".

I looked up at them and said "Tyler is my mate" they both looked at me surprised. "Honey, that's great" Mrs. Morris said excitedly but I hung my head down. "No it's not" I said in my still weak voice "why not?" Mr. Morris said this time. I looked up at him "I love Tyler and you guys, but I'm a monster and I can't let him live with that for the rest of his life, he would hate me if I made him one of me, and I am beyond dangerous..." I paused "but I could never bring myself to reject him." I looked down and whispered "I'm just a monster" tears started to weld up in my eyes.

Mr. Morris spoke gently "sweetheart, your not a monster, your a warrior, a protector, I know you blame yourself for your family's death, and that leaving Tyler behind was not your choice, but your always welcome to come talk to us and maybe, just maybe give Tyler a chance." I looked up at him as the first tear slid down my cheek "I could never subject him to this life, not when he could lose me easily like those hunters took my parents life" I looked down at my feet and whispered "I'm sorry and Tyler's waking up I should go." They looked towards the house and I ran. To the human eye I was just a blur and in no time I was back at the pack house. By the time I got to my room I was crying.

I took another shower, put my pajamas back on, and cried to myself only thinking of him. His memory is painful. I love him and yet I could never have him. In a way he needs someone better than me, but we were made for each other. Some would call me scared or cowardly and some would call me courageous and brave but I am scared, for Tyler, I am cowardly, to keep him from being in danger, I am courageous and brave, for keeping a distance from my mate, of course it will be difficult and could kill me, literally, but it would be worth it to see him live on and not be in danger for the rest of his life. As I thought about it more, the more I cried. I thought of everything we did when we were little and I started silently screaming.

'I could never have you' I thought and my wolf whimpered and I felt like someone was stabbing my heart. I let out the most painful, sorrowful, loudest, scream I could. Just then I blacked out. I would stay silent no matter how bad it hurt. I would avoid him like the plague. I knew what I needed to do, but it's not the right thing to do right now.

'I'm sorry' I whispered through the cold, dark, empty link I had for my family. I could hear a faint howl of my mother, father, and my three brothers wolves. 'Hang in there little sister, I promise it will be worth the wait' Jimmy told me. I shot up in bed, Jimmy is dead, it couldn't have been him, I refuse to believe it. With that I started crying again, until I fell asleep.
