Long Run

~ 20 ~

The book is full of excitement. Full of stories of supernatural beings.

I enjoyed the chapter on Lycans. Lycans believed they were superior to all supernatural creatures. They lived by no rules. They took whatever they pleased, they killed whomever they wanted. The Lycan King was hungry for power. He wanted to rule the whole supernal world. Their numbers were small but they were smart and resourceful. Their ability to mind link made them ahead of their enemies.

They believed in pure blood, mating only with their own. Never a werewolf. I get a little offended by that. They wanted dominance, they were not afraid to travel, explore other parts of the worlds.

After reading the Lycan chapter I flipped through the chapters and then I holted at the title of one of the chapters. I get goosebumps on my skin. The chapter title is Dragon Keepers. I immediately start reading.

He traveled to Germany in the depts of the mountains to a hidden velley where he found a population of witches and wizards. Moon Goddess created them to protect the dragons. A dragon in the hands of a wrong person can bring massive destruction.

The witches had unique white hair with crystal blue eyes as a symbol of service to the Moon Goddess. Moon Goddess wanted them to keep peace. Their ablites to create potions for good and help humanity. They were able to cure many diseases and illnesses.

They trained their dragons. They flew them over areas where there was no civilization, over the sea. I stop and think that cannot be done now with all the technology. Anyone can see anything now, with a click of a mouse on Google Earth. Google satellites are able to pick up anything. There has been sighting of 70 feet megalodon, dragons will be out of the question.

I close the book and think. The author was right about Lycans, us werewolves, this story matches with Iris's grandfather story. In the book the author mentioned something that I can not get off my mind. The witches gave birth to one set of twins in their life time a boy and a girl. Iris and Oak are twins. Is Balthazar a twin? I should ask when I get back.

My mind keeps repeating the word that was said by the French genetic doctor at the airport cafe.

I recall her words in my head. "Your hair is a genetic mutation. Your hair is very rare. This gene is dominant and always passed down to the twins. Is your brother traveling with you I would love to meet him."

She thought I was a twin. I feel Devon stirring inside me. She is having the same uneasy feeling as me, but doesn't say anything. I need to research this. I bought Wi-Fi on this flight so I google white hair. A lot of information on grey hair, blonde hair, dyeing, bleaching, and albino. Their is nothing on all natural white hair. Infants are born with streaks of white hair but never all white.

I am getting a uncertain feeling. Devon is standing up in my mind. She is on full alert and say to me. "All of this is not a coincidence. We thought our hair was rare but by the looks of it it's close to non-existent. I think Iris's family is not telling us something."

I listen to Devon. I am happy she is talking to me again. There are too much coincidences. My ability to manifest, I always thought it was related to me being a werewolf.

"Ivy..." Devon say in a soft voice. "I need to tell you something... Remember on your birthday I manifested something... That night when I exhausted all of our energy and passed put? .... I mindlinked Benji, told him we are his mate and to wait for us."

Oh man, I am so mad, "How can you make a decision like that all by yourself!" I tell her.

"The same way you made a solo decision to keep me away from my mate." Devon fires back.

Okay, fair enough.

"Wait... what??? We can mindlink?"

"No, we cannot mindlink! I had to manifest it and I used up all the energy to do so. Remember?" Devon tells me sarcastically. "Also... I think I did it wrong..."

"What do you mean, you did it wrong? Who else did you mindlink? Were they in our pack? Devon tell me Now." I am pissed now, I need to calm down because the person sitting next to me will think I am bipolar, schizophrenic, or have double personality disorder. Whichever is the one where people talk to themselves?

"I felt my mindlink went to someone else too, actually to couple more, I don't know who they are. I felt them... they where very powerful, more powerful then Benji. One of them inparticular." Devon tells me.

I am grateful she finally told me, that she is finally speaking to me again.

"Devon, thank you for telling me. Please don't leave me alone. I need you." I tell her.

I sit and think about everything, I clearly need answers. Who was my Mom? Why she never told anything about her family to my Dad? Can my Mom be a witch of the white hair people? Did my Mom have a twin? I never thought about my Mom's side of the family. I might have grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins.

Tomorrow I will call Oak and take him up on the offer to come over to the restaurant. I should also talk to Balthazar, maybe he knows anyone else with white hair like mine in the city. Maybe I can locate my Mom's family.
