My eyes opened in a flash. I struggled for breath as I looked around. Thank gods I'm the moon goddess and used to the night.

My eyes scanned the thing I was in. A casket. A shiver ran through my spine and I started to calculate everything. By the pressure and what has happened to me in the past, 7 feet underground. What happened to the 6?

Now's not the time to joke around. If I kick the casket top the dirt would come towering down. Pounding was coming from outside the casket as my breathing became heavier.

Oh god now I was gonna fucking suffocate to death after I just fucking woke up from death?! Suddenly the casket top was lifted off and the moonlight seeped through my vision. My instinct kicked in and I gasped for air. I shot up and looked around to see a child's face. She looked about 14. Emily.

Her red hair flashes through my mind as I was embraced in her warm hug. I hugged back and tears actually started spilling from my eyes.

"I'm here Emmy. Don't worry I'm here." I whispered in her ear as we both stood there hugging each other.

"I missed you. Don't leave ever again please." She cried back. I nodded and made my promise. I didn't want to leave. I looked around.

"Where is everyone?" I asked after we stopped hugging.

"Asleep." Emily stared into me, her eyes relieved and bright.

"Then why does it smell like Connors blood?" Panic started to rise in me. Wait, I was still connected to this mate shit?!

"Because he was the one to activate the spell. If it was a mate that awoken you then you would be healed." Emily mentioned while pointing at my chest.

"Aw! I liked this band shirt too!" I whined as I looked at my bloodied I The Mighty band shirt that I wore the day I died.

"You have like millions of them though." Emily brushed it off like no big deal. Did she know who I was?!?!

"No big deal?! It's a band shirt!!! IT'S A BIG DEAL!!" I yelled. She put a hand on my mouth and told me to shush. I nodded and tore her hand away from my mouth.

"Sorry. When are they gonna find out?" I asked while helping Emily put the dirt back in it's place.

"Oh. I didn't think that far." She shrugged. I groaned and slapped my face lightly.

"So what, I'm just gonna waltz in and say, 'oh hey I'm back from the dead! Surprise!'" I sarcastically whispered.

"..no...just...I will take you in the morning. Their going to have breakfast together in your honor." She informed and patted on the dirt that we finished putting back in place.
"Ok. I'm gonna sleep out here." I said as I started to pick out a comfy tree.

"No! You have to put something else on. I don't think they want to see you looking like that!" Emily exclaimed while pointing at me.

"I don't care what i look like. I just fucking resurrected and if I go inside they're gonna smell me." I stated. She groaned in defeat and nodded slowly.
"Fine. Whatever. I'm heading to bed. Night. Oh, and don't get into any trouble!" Emily instructed and slipped into the dark pack house.

I climbed the tree and got comfy on a sturdy branch. Memories of my past flashes through my mind. The times that I have run away and slept in trees with my rogue pack. Until the day we robbed 4 powerful packs and got a shitload of money.

My heart filled with emptiness as I touched my stomach.

The baby couldn't come back here with me. I sat up on the branch and ran a hand through my hair.

I put my head inside my hands and sighed heavily. This was going to be a fun reunion. I looked through the other branches to see my moon. I stood up and fell out of the tree softly.

I shook out my wings and started to flap them, lifting myself off the ground. I flew up into the sky and did a small loop while still flying. I thought, hey, why not go for a little flight? Then I thought about swimming and I felt tingles spread through my fingers and feet at the thought.

I flew to the nearest beach and landed in the damp sand. Why is it still damp from a couple days ago?

I looked into the ocean, smiling and I ran into the water. When I got deep enough bubbles and swirls danced around me. My purple hair started to play around my head and my dark blue tail cut through the water.

I started swimming, my energy gaining. I haven't been in the ocean for weeks and this was an amazing feeling. I giggled and spun sideways while floating to the surface.

I waved with the waves as I floated on top of the water on my back. I swished my hands and tail around. This is what life was supposed to be like.

To feel free.

I dove back under and swam to the bottom. Coral was filled with life and color as small creatures swam all around.

I sighed and smiled as some fishes said hello. What would happen when I get in the house tomorrow morning? How would Connor react? Wait, why was I even caring about a guy?

Must be this shitty mate crap.

I don't need a guy. I'm independent. No need for a guy who could hold me down.

But then again, he wasn't just any guy. My wolf started to howl with excitement at the thought of me and Connor being together.

I scowled and decided to swim back. After all, morning was coming soon. I just want everything to get better.

I don't know why I even care. I shouldn't. But I just can't help but feel close to them.

It's because they all made a tiny part of my heart opened to love.
