The Blood Forest

"Shit!......Mate!!" two words left my mouth in a breathy tone before I teleported myself directly to my room.

With long strides I went in my washroom, splashed some water on my face then came back & sat on my bed. 'What the heck was that!?' I asked myself brushing my wet front bangs backwards .

Heavy breaths left my nostrils with heart beating as fast as a horse, I kept thinking about whatever happened minutes ago.
while doing so , one thing crossed my mind. If I want, I can ignore her. No one will know if I don't tell anyone what happened today . That girl didn't see me, neither did I, we don't know each other. It'll be easier to ignore her. It's not like she can come near me without my permission. Even if she finds out, I can act as if I don't feel anything for her & prove that I'm not her mate.

It's easier & simple this way. 
" Yes , It's the only way. "

It's already midnight.  But no matter how much I tried, I couldn't concentrate. A lot of feelings were running in me making me restless. Besides that, there was another thing building up inside me. Curiosity. I was curious to know..... about her. What does she look like or what's her name !? What are her powers !? How is she like? Etc.

Though I never wanted a mate, something in me wanted to know how does it feels to have one.

I shook my head in order to clear my thoughts but no use . I looked out of the window, " maybe some fresh air can help." I murmured as I walked towards the belcony & jumped down. It was easier to go out that way. If I exit by the main door not only it'll take time but also it'll catch someone's attention. I don't want my brothers to doubt about anything yet.

Unintentionally or intentionally , I don't know but my feet dragged me to the lake. I walked towards the sitting area where I found her smell  for the 1st time. I sighed & sat on one of the stones. It's somehow peaceful here. I sat there while the gentle breeze kept playing with my hair.

I don't know how much time has passed by but it felt good here. As I moved my right foot a bit I felt something under it. I ducked down & saw it was a pencil. I picked it up to have a closer look. " Who would use a pencil here? " I asked myself. But soon my eyes widen remembering who was the last person here instead of me.
I brought the pencil near my nostrils & yp. Vanilla & perline . It's hers. 

As I started at the pencil, "Mate" the word escaped my mouth.

" My mate. " It really feels weird to say it like that .

I take a last look at the pencil before putting it In my chest pocket walking back home.
