Our Future

Chapter 14

Although I was quite tired from the day we had today, I ended up waking up at almost half past two in the morning because I heard footsteps in the kitchen and decided to see who it was. I grabbed the first thing I found in the room, which happened to be my hairbrush, and carefully left the room. After going downstairs, I entered the kitchen and found Scott literally looking at the kitchen table.

- Jesus, you scared me.- I said sitting on a chair beside him.

- And you were going to defend yourself with a hairbrush? Mel, imagine it was a hunter or a werewolf that wanted to attack us, do you really think a hairbrush would have any effect?

- It was the first thing that appeared to me.- I said smiling, making Scott show a smile.- Now are you going to tell me what you're doing here at this hour?

- I couldn't sleep, so I came to drink a glass of water.

- You're still thinking about what happened this afternoon, aren't you? With the Anuk-Ite!

- Not only... There are many things at the same time, it's Anuk-Ite, the hunters, Monroe and 

Gerard.

- Scott, I understand and as a very good friend told me not long ago, we're going to turn things around, as we always do. This is just another obstacle!- I exclaimed and Scott came over and gave me a hug.

- I know I wanted you and Isaac to finally live the typical teenage life, but I'm really glad you're here with us.

- You know you can always count on us, for everything. And he and I will have plenty of time to live a typical teenage life, we're just taking a little detour.

- Let's go rest, because tomorrow will be another one of those long and tiring days.- Scott said and we both went to our rooms.

As soon as I lay down on the bed again, I quickly fell asleep in Isaac's arms. It was half past eight when I woke up and a few seconds later I saw that Isaac was moving, which meant that he had just woken up. I quickly turned to him and gave him a short good morning kiss on the lips.

- Good morning my love.- Said Isaac smiling.

- Good morning, prince.- I said looking into his eyes.- Ready for another day full of emotions?

"No, but we don't have a choice," said Isaac, rubbing his eyes.

As we had a long day ahead of us, Isaac and I got out of bed, went about our morning routine, got dressed and went downstairs to the kitchen, where Scott was already having breakfast .

- Good morning guys.

"So what's on the agenda for today?" asked Isaac, picking up two glasses and placing one in front of me. Then I took the milk and cereal from the table and poured them into my bowl.

- Liam, Theo and Mason go to school, because they still have classes and I don't want them to miss too much subject. The three of us and Malia are going to meet Deucalion. If anyone can help us right now, it's him.

3rd Person POV:

Scott, Melanie, Isaac and Malia join Deucalion in the center of a large lot full of metal shipping containers. The former Alpha Pack leader stands atop one of the containers and points out that echolocation is hard. He says they can't learn in one day what took him years to master. He, then points out that an orientation and mobility specialist must train blindfolded with a white cane for 120 hours before becoming certified. He also says that he can't teach them to walk and fight in less than 24 hours.
