Chapter Nine

Skylar's P.O.V.

The night progressed on like nothing had ever happened. Though I still had some questions to ask Matt and Sam about the whole dream vision thing. It just didn't make sense to me.

"Hey can I talk to you guys in the den?" I ask wanting to hear more about what it was like to have visions and such. "Sure." Matt says getting up and Sam following him as we head into the den.

The den is a place where my Dad had put in so we could hide from the hunters when they found us. It was a safe room, the walls were bullet proof metal and the only way you could get in was by your eye color. You had to have the wolf eye color to get in, that is something that the hunters did not have.

"What did you want to talk about?" Matt asks running a hand through his thick brown hair. I sit down on the leather couch my Father would always sit on. "I just want to hear more about the vision thing. It doesn't quite make sense to me. Plus I want to know if my Dad really is coming back." When I ask this question I look at Sam.

My Dad and him were best friends. They ruled the pack together and he left Sam in charge when he left.

"Skylar as you already know about your father that he doesn't always keep his promise, but he is coming back this time. It may not be for a couple weeks and it may be tomorrow, I just don't want you to get your hopes up and then let them, fall." Sam's words comfort me and I feel a little bit better about my Father.

I nod and know that he will be here soon. "Do you think he found my Mother?" I ask selfishly. I know my Mother put herself in an insane asylum. She couldn't take the pressure of a pack so she admitted herself. "I wouldn't hold my breath on that one." Matt mutters.

"Okay, so the whole vision thing. How does it work, how do I know I'm not having one right now?" I ask so confused. I just want answers. I don't know who to run to because then it might be a dream.

"Well like you told us earlier about when you passed out at the party that was one sign of a vision. We wolves don't usually pass out no matter if its with alcohol or not. Second you don' t just get bitten like that, you have to know your with someone. That connection doesn't happen like what you described. Its different, its hard to explain but you know it when it happens." Matt says and I start to understand.

"I just don't want ot have any more of those things because it just messes up everything." I tell them feeling the tears behind my eye want to seep up to the surface.

"Its okay to cry." Matt says nodding not sure what to do. I see Sam change his position, he sets his elbows on his knees and lays his head in his hands. "Skylar! There is someone here to see you!" I hear Bella scream down the steps and  run up the stairs having the feeling that its Dad.

I reach the top of the steps of the den and Bella stands not smiling at me. "Who is it?" I ask not sure what ot think of her expression. "I don't know, I've never seen him before." She tells me and I move pass her. I walk down the hall way and enter the kitchen where the stranger stands. "Excuse me?" I ask and he turns around and its Jake.

What is he doing here?

"Skylar?" He asks and I have the feeling about something bad. "Yes." I mutter and make my way closer to him. "Can I talk to you, alone." He whispers staring at Bella behind me. I look around the room to find my whole pack staring at me. I look back at him confused yet again.

"Yes." I mutter and we both walk out the front door.

We make our way down the sidewalk and then he speaks. "I had the weirdest dream about you. I'm not even sure I have met you before. I asked my sister about you and she said that you too are friends?" He asks and I stutter for words and all that comes out is laughter.

Jake's face tells me to stop. "Sorry, your sister and I? We hate each other." I scoff surprised by her words. "Well I had this dream about you and me. We were suppose to be together, I just wanted to make sure you were actually real and what not." He nods and then stops before we can go any further to the house.

"Oh. Well I'm real." I tell him smiling. But he frowns. Is he crying? I see tears pour out of his eyes. "Are you okay?" I ask wondering what I had done to make him cry.

"Yeah, I just. You have company." He points behind me and I look and see my Father smiling on the steps of his house. "Dad!" I scream running toward him and his face lightens up and I jump in his arms and hug him tight. I take in his scent and I let his scruffed up beard scratch me.

"Dad your here!" I smile adn kiss him on teh cheek. He's actually here and i"m not dreaming this!

He sets me down, "I have so much to tell you." Dad whispers in my ear. He leads me up the stairs but then I forget about Jake, my company. I turn around but he's gone. All thats left is the trees that were behind him.

"I have someone you should meet." Dad says and I smile.

"His name is Caleb." He tells me.

Jake's P.O.V.

ONE DAY AGO:

I hear a knock at the door and trot down the stairs to catch it before Ashley or Tate could .

Today has been amazing. That walk with Skylar, I really think we are meant to be together. I mean I do believe in the whole bonding thing. And I had accidentaly bitten her, but its different, I actually feel something for her.

I open the door to find a tall bulky man standing in front of me.

"Jake." He mutters and I nod not sure where I have seen him before.

"I'm Caleb. Skylar's mate." He mutters and I become frozen. Has he come here to fight me for her?

"I just want to talk about Skylar." He says and I let him in. I lead him toward the couches and we take a seat as far apart from each other as we can. "I want to talk about her safety." Caleb's husky voice is so strong. I wonder what my voice sounds like to him. "I will be her mate, and you can't be in her life. Its dangerous, she is being hunted and she doesn't even know it yet. I need to keep her safe and she can't be running around with you when the moon first comes up." His words confuse me.

"Being hunted?" I ask not sure what this means. I have heard of hunters but they don't come to California. Do they?

"Its not your concern. But we are going to convince her that all this whole mess is just a dream and you need to come to her with a strong face and tell her that you had the same dream. That you don't want any confusion. That you don't love her." He says and I nod not sure why. If this is the best for her, I don't want her to be hurt but I also want to keep her safe.

"How do you convince her that she isn't in love with me?" I ask him not sure if he has been in love. "I'm suppose to be with her Jake. Thats all that matters." He says in his stern voice and I become frozen. "So you have seen this?" I ask being sarcastic. "Matter of fact I have. We wolves have visions and well we see things the way they are suppose to be." He tells me and it sounds like utter bull shit.

"So I'm just suppose to pretend that I don't love her?" I ask catching up.

"You don't love her." He says and it breaks me to even think of being without her.

I hope this makes sense, if you have any questions please ask!(:
