A Touch of Death

Silly Cat (19)

I stepped into the cabin, it was very nice. It had small cozy lounge with a fireplace and a nice kitchen. Down the hall was a master bedroom and a bathroom suite. It was very sweet and romantic.

"Do your parents know we're here?" I asked, "Nope," He shook his head as he took me into his arms and gave me a short kiss.

He led me into the kitchen and into a seat, "Hungry?" He asked.

"You cook?" I asked, surprised.

"Yes I do. Does that surprise you?" He asked, "Yes it does actually," I lauhed.

"Why, Because most of our generation is hopeless in the kitchen?" He asked, I nodded.

He cooked some scrambled eggs for the both of us and we went into the lounge to eat. Adrian put on a movie and we settled next to eachother as we ate. He took our plates into the kitchen and he came back and enceloped me in his arms.

"I love you," He murmured into my ear.

I smiled, that was the first time he's said that to me. I turned look at him, "I love you too," I replied and leaned up to kiss him.

The kiss deepened and Adrian stood up and led me to the bedroom, he paused and looked at me, "Are you sure?" He asked.

I nodded, "I love you Adrian. Your my soul mate," I reminded and he smashed his lips onto mine in a passion filled lips as we made our way to the bed.

I felt fingers tracing my back softly, I opened my eyes to see Adrian resting his head in his hand propped up and tracing patterns on my back. His eyes snapped to mine and he smiled, "Goodmorning," He greeted me with a soft kiss.

"Morning," I replied.

He looked at my back, "Your back is covered with tattoos," He noted.

"I got them when I came into power, it represents my lineage. The stronger the lineage, the bigger the markings," I explained.

"Not to alarm you or anything, but you have my name on your back with a wolf," He told me.

I sat up and looked at him confused, "Wait you don't mean..." I drifted off.

"What?" He asked, I looked at him, "Don't you know about the soul mates mark?" I asked.

It was then realisation came across his face, "Of course. My parents have them," He told me.

"Your parents ar soul mates?" I asked curiously, he nodded, "Yeah, they're both shifters," He answered.

I nodded thoughtfully, "Turn around," I demanded.

He did as I was told and on the right of his shoulder was an Oak Tree with it's branches brushing around the font of my name delicately. I smiled, "You got it too," I mumbled.

"Duh," He teased as he turned around to give me a small kiss on my lips.

The rest of the weekend was spent just spending time with each other, and every now and then he would kiss my shoulder where his name was. All too soon it was time to go home.

He dropped me off at home and gave me a lingering kiss. I smiled and got out of the car and went inside. I was walking upstairs, "What is that on your back young lady?!" I heard my mum shriek.

I cursed when I remembered I was wearing a tank top and Adrian's name was clear as day. I turned to see my mum looking furious, "Uh... My witch markings, What else?" I repilied.

"Don't try and be smart. Did you get Adrians name tattooed on your back?" She asked.

"I cant, I'm underage," I muttered, "Then how did Adrians name get onto your back?" She asked.

I looked down and bit my lip nervously, "It's the soul mates mark," I mumbled.

"You mean Adrian's..." She suddenly squealed like a teenage girl and I cringed.

She clapped her hands like a little kid, "Were you safe?" She asked.

"Mum!" I complained, blushing furiously, "I'm all for being a grandmother but personally I your too young to be a mother" She rambled.

I just want to dig a hole, crawl into it and die. Ebony was standing behind mum and stifling her laugh, I glared at her. Mum hugged me tight, "My little girl's all grown up!" She gushed.

"I love you and everything but I really need to do some homework," I lied.

she nodded furiously, "Of course!" And walked off into the kitchen.

It was then Ebony burst out laughing, "Oh my god! Remind me not to make it obvious that I had sex," She laughed.

"Yeah, yeah, keep laughing" I muttered.

"How did she know?" She asked, "Soulmates mark," I answred, showing her my shoulder.

Her eyes widened, "You guys are soul mates?" She asked, I nodded.

"Yep. IT's why he's immune to my power. I met a guy in Africa who helped me control my ability, his name's jack and his power was similar to mine but he could turn things into gold," I explained, "That's where you got the butterfly from!" Ebony cut in, I nodded.

"He had a wife who was immune to his power as well and although the council doesn't confirm it, soul mates to witches are immune to that witches power," I told her.

Ebony nodded, "Well, you can't really be immune to my power," She frowned.

"It's actually not as common as it sounds. Seeing as there's not many witches around anymore its only around five every generation," I told her.

Ebony nodded. Absorbing the information I was telling her, suddenly Kylene rushed past us with Ariel hot on her heels. Ebony and I stepped aside as they both ran outside, we looked at eachother and I had an idea of what happened. Ebony on the other hand, had no clue.

I smiled as I entered the room, ebony had been called by mum to help her do something. So I walked over to the my closet and brought out a box. I sighed as I slowly lifted the lid of the box and glanced inside.

I reached inside and brought out a photograph, it was a photo of Andrew and I at the park. I was on the swing and Andrew was bending down so his face was next to mine. I plced it carefully on the ground and brought out other photo's of Andrew and I.

I brought out a loveheart locket and smiled as I opened it. One side had a small message engraved, 'Delaney, Happy Valentines Day, Love Andrew xo' There was a photo of Andrew and I at our formal.

I snapped the locket shut and tears fell on the locket and I wiped them away. This time they weren't tears of guilt and loneliness everytime I had brought out the box. I think Andrew would've been happy for me when I started to be with Adrian.

There was a small meow beside me and I looked over to see Jagter looking at me curiously. I smiled and scratched her behind the ears, "Hey Jagter. I think I should introduce Adrian to Andrew, don't you think?" I asked her and she just looked at me blankly.

I laughed, "You're just hungry aren't you?" I asked her and she purred in reply.

Silly cat.
