She's One Of The Rogues

Chapter 2: Encounter

Chapter 2: Encounter

Eliza’s POV

I woke up to my alarm clock blaring at me. Urrrrgh!  I thought to myself. I hated my alarm clock. Especially when it went off when I was sleeping happily. I slid the covers off of me and jumped out of bed. Today was the day my training started, and I could tell it wasn’t going to go great. I ran to my walk-in-wardrobe and grabbed my red sports bra, my extra red Nike tee, a clean pair of black sweats, black socks and my usual trainers. I ran to my bathroom and straight away got into the shower. Feeling the nice warm water running down my body was great. I was already waking up a little more. Once I was done, I grabbed my clothes and dressed quickly after tying my red and black hair up into a ponytail. Then I went over to my wardrobe to find some spare clothes to put into a bag. Since we were doing some training, I had a sneaking feeling I made need some spare clothing.  

Once I was ready, I slid down the banister to the living room and jumped off right near the end, doing a turn in the air and landing on the floor.

“Show-off much?” a voice said from the sofa. I jumped suddenly, falling to the floor with a loud and pretty hard thud. I rubbed my head and looked up to see Tolken’s hand being held out to me.

“Tolken!” I said taking his hand, allowing him to pull me up into a big hug. It had been a few years since I last saw him. 

“Hey Eliza. So I hear you’ll be challenging for Pack Warrior soon?” he asked, not breaking away from the hug. I missed his hugs. He was like a giant teddy bear. All warm and fuzzy………… “Eliza?” I suddenly realised he was still talking.

“Oh yeah. I am. Today is my first training day.” I said. I felt like pulling away from the hug, but he still had his arms around me tightly. Then someone suddenly cleared their throat behind us, making Tolken put me at arms length. I turned round and saw Rira, Tolken’s mate. Tolken gave her a glare and said,

“What Rira?” man, I never saw him so stern. Rira looked at him, tapping her foot. Then her gaze shot towards me and she stared me down. Then I realised, she was jealous that I was hugging Tolken. 

She’s jealous because I’m hugging you. I said to Tolken through mind link, without taking my eyes off of Rira. A good technique to use in a fight when you need backup, but can’t take your eyes off of your foe.

I know, he replied but she can’t keep controlling me. She told me yesterday, that I wasn’t allowed to come over today and tell you that I’m going to be helping train you. I suddenly grinned at that remark. She was totally jealous. Suddenly, she swung her gaze over to Tolken, realising we had been chatting in the mind link.

“Tolken. I told you not to come over here! Yet you totally disobeyed me completely. We’re supposed to be mates. Do you even want to be with me?” she snapped. She was obviously angry. Her usual hazel eyes had turned to a dark brown colour and her arms were down by her sides with her fists clenched. 

“Humph, I told you, I am helping Eliza train, and of course I want to be with you. You’re my mate. I love you and no-one else.” Tolken replied taking a step towards her. His voice was soft like silk. It made me want to melt like butter in his hands. If anyone was to use that tone with me, I would have done whatever they wanted. 

“Then why haven’t you marked me yet?!” Then I snapped out of it.

“You haven’t marked Rira yet?” I asked Tolken sternly. It is said that as soon as you found your mate, you were to mark them. Marking is where you bit into your mate’s neck with your canines. If you weren’t that persons mate, marking them would fail and cause the person pain, but if you were mates then the biting would cause a little pain, but be pleasant for the other person. Then the mate licks the blood away and a picture will form in that place, with the biter’s initials underneath. The only way to remove a mark is to cut it with a silver blade. 

“No I haven’t. I haven’t found the right time.” he replied. Rira growled softly. 

“We have mated many times, yet when I ask you to mark me you shake your head, and if I go to mark you, you push me away and walk off in a strop.” she said. I felt like I was intruding on their conversation, but then I realised I was in my house and I had stuff to prepare. I made my way to the door and opened it before stopping and saying,

“Well you two love-birds can get on with your conversation, I have to go and sort out my--” but I was stopped by someone bumping into me. I fell to the ground again with a thump and hit my head “WHAT IS IT WITH PEOPLE MAKING ME FALL OVER?!” I shouted to the person, but when I looked up I screamed, a piercing scream. 

Tolken’s POV

So me and Rira were arguing in front of Eliza, which personally, was quite awkward… Then she suddenly burst out saying,

“Well you two love-birds can get on with your conversation, I have to go and sort out my--” which made me smirk, but then there was a thud and I turned around to see her on the ground in front of a red haired woman. Then Eliza screamed the loudest and most piercing scream EVER. 

“Hello Eliza.” The woman said. Obviously Eliza was terrified of her. I growled a low growl and stepped over to Eliza, picking her up and putting her behind me. I heard Rira growl in jealousy that I was protective over my best friend. 

Shut it Rira! I said through our mind link. She growled back at me but I ignored her. I stared down this mystery woman.

Who is she….?
