Rejected For My Secrets

Chapter 22

I seriously apologize for not updating lately, but I had some things to sort out. I’m really sorry.

Chapter 22

“So you two are mates?”

“Yes.”

“And you got a message sent from the murderer, which happens to be a wizard?”

“Yes.”

“Wow. Where was I when all this happened?”Exclaimed Sarah and I shrugged.

I was having lunch with my family, Alex’s family, Lance, and Casey, and they were all wearing shocked expressions on their faces; all except Carson. He had that look on his face that said ‘I don’t give a shit’.

“So...” drawled my dad, but no onebothered continuing. The rest of the meal was silent except for the occasional clinks of the cutlery and the cups.

When we were all finished eating, Alex and I excused ourselves from the table. As we were going up to my room, my father called my name. I looked back at him and he teasingly said, “No funny business in your room.” The whole table cracked up and I mock-glared at him while my cheeks blazed. He was just joking; we all knew it. It was normal for werewolves to keep ‘mating’. I ascended the stairs and went up to my room with Alex. I wasn’t planning on doing any ‘funny business’ anyways.

“Do you still have the Speakophone?” asked Alex.

“Of course,” I answered and went over to my vanity set and held the Speakophone. Unfortunately, I forgot how heavy it was, and dropped it. It fell to the floor with a thud, but it surprisingly didn’t shatter. Instead, the squeaky woman’s voice that delivered the message came back as I held it.

“Oi! Be careful and handle the well! Who knows when my boss will want to deliver another message to you? You aren’t getting another Speakophone, you know. They’re valuable and expensive!”

“Wait! You can hear us?” yelled Alex.

“Yes! You think this I’m not enchanted? Ha! Trick ya, didn’t I?” came the irritating voice again.

“So… You heard everything we said?”

“Yes! The best of your plans are revealed to my boss. Consider changing them. They weren’t a match to hers, anyways.”

My fists clenched on the Speakophone and I raised them in an attempt to throw it on the floor, but Alex took it from me, muttering, “It may come in handy. Just make sure to lock it up.”

I nodded and placed it in my closet under a heap of clothes.

“That should keep it from hearing our conversations,” I muttered as I locked the closet.

“What will we do? This Speakophone thingy clearly knows all we know about wizardry,” I complained.

“We have to trick it,” he said, a smile forming on his lips.

“How?” I asked. He turned to me and started explaining…

*****

We decided to carry out the plan as soon as possible. I opened the closet door and removed the pile of clothes from over the Speakophone, leaving it exposed to catch our every word.

“So, now that the Speakophone is out of the way and can’t hear us, we need to change plans,” said Alex loudly.

“I personally believe that we shouldn’t do anything. What chance do these wizards stand against us werewolves? They can do nothing to us,” I told him, raising my voice as equally as his.

“You know what? You are definitely right. They can’t hurt us with the sparkles that shoot from their wands. Let that murderer do whatever she wants. We’ll only attack when she does.” After Alex said his last few words, I placed the clothes over the Speakophone once again and shut the closet slowly.

Our plan was to trick the Speakophone into thinking that we don’t know that it can hear us. We had to make it think that hiding and waiting was our actual plan so that it delivered that to its ‘boss’.  

“Plan succeeded,” I said as soon as the Speakophone was successfully locked in the closet with no way of hearing us.

“Good,” grinned Alex, and then he added, “Do you remember what day is it in two days?”

I racked my brain hard. Today was March 10th, and in two days, it would be…

“My birthday!” I exclaimed. I couldn’t believe that I actually forgot my birthday that was in just two days. I guess all the mayhem really got into my mind.

“Yes, and I have an early something for you,” he said, taking out a tall box. When he opened it, I gasped. There was a silver necklace with a diamond pendant. The diamond wasn’t small but it wasn’t big either, and it was shining really brightly.

“This isn’t a regular diamond. It is supposed to have powers that I think will help you protect yourself if the murderer somehow got her claws on you. I still have no idea how to make it work, though, so try to figure it out,” he explained, but my eyes were still transfixed on its glorious beauty. He took it out of the box and moved my hair to the side, his fingers grazing gently over my back sending a shiver down my spine. He out it around my neck and clasped it.

“Thank you so much,” I whispered.

*****

I was resting on my bed while my hand was absentmindedly playing with the necklace. That was when it dawned on me, making me sit up. YouTube!

I haven’t posted a video for a really long time! I felt really horrible knowing that I neglected my six million subscribers for over a month. I used to post a new video for them every week! I opened YouTube and noticed that the number of subscribers raised so much; it almost reached six million and five hundred thousand! Wow.

I opened my drawer, took out my camera (the one my dad bought me for my last birthday), and set it on its tripod which was placed in front of my piano. I sat on the stool behind the piano and tried learning Rihanna’s “Stay” by ear. I always learned songs by ear because I never really understood the notes. After almost an hour, the song was done and I knew how to play it perfectly. I went to the camera, turned it on, and then sat on the stool once again.
“Hey, guys! I’m going to be singing ‘Stay’ by Rihanna. I’m really sorry that I haven’t posted a video for a really long time, but I had some problems to fix. They still aren’t solved yet, but I thought I’d make time for a video,” I said and then place my hands on the keyboard.

The words flowed out of my mouth as I read the lyrics from my iphone, and my fingers played the song’s melody on the piano. I missed that feeling I got whenever I listened to or played music. It was a feeling of safety, love, and happiness.

So sorry that the chapter is so small but I have no idea what else to fit in! I can honesty tell you that the reason to why I haven’t been updating is not because I don’t feel like writing, but because I keep getting stuck on dead-ends! I really enjoy writing, but I just have no idea what to write, and I can’t think of something.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed it! There will be some ACTION in the next chapter. And the murderer will be revealed either in the next chapter or the one after it. MUAHAHAHA! :D
