The Hybrid Mate

Chapter 2

After a few minutes I find my way into the guest room I normally stay in all ready for me with a door that connects to Mia's in the next room. In case of emergencies we need adjoining rooms which had to be specially made for us. I throw my bag onto the queen sized bed with a dark gray throw cover. I fall face first into the bed tired from all the excitement today. Nothing is ever as easy as it seems.

I hear a knock on Mia's door. I breath loudly into the bed meaning she can enter. She seems to have gotten my weird message because she comes into my room. She comes and sits next to me. "Did you hear what your mom said about someone asking for you to come?"

I sigh before raising my head to look at her. I grab a pillow to lay on before turning over to lay on my back. "Ya I heard that too. I was deep into my anger that I couldn't think to ask who asked for me to come."

Mia looks worried. "You you don't think that she would have you come here for some reason, right?" She starts to pick at her nails, a bad habit she picked up for when she is nervous because her nails will go back to being perfect within the next hour.

I give her a mocking laugh. "She knows better than to try to mess with my family like that. If she even thinks about it she knows the consequences that will happen." Mia lightly chuckles with me.

"Alrighty, I just wanted to make sure. We already have enough drama with her and we don't need anymore."

I poke her in the stomach. "I'm not the one that loves drama and jokes about bringing around a thing of popcorn so your ready to watch the drama unfold." Mia gives me a real laugh. "Well it's true. I hate when the drama plays out right in front of me and I'm not ready to properly watch it." Mia flips her hair back like the diva she is. She looks at me and we both start laughing. 

Mia gets up and walks to the door. "I can feel a big event is coming, I know you can too. We must be prepared." She warns me looking into her room to avoid looking at me. Her mistake is that I can feel her fear through the bond we have. She doesn't want me to worry about her though so I won't mention it. 

I sigh before sitting up. "Yes I can feel the change happening already but we have always been ready for when it comes, just like we will be this time too." I tell her in a comforting tone.

Mia nods her head. "Get some sleep." She closes the door to give each of us privacy. 

I stare at the door feeling lost. Normally Mia and I can talk about what is bothering us but Mia is trying to hide from me instead which makes me feel that the big change we both feel coming with center around me but will affect us both. I sigh again before standing to get ready for bed. I mean after all tomorrow will be a busy day.

Dreams. Oh peaceful dreams I was having until I heard my door squeak. Now my body is alert and ready for which of the other Johnson children are going to try to do to me. If it is Toby, I'll be jumped on or pushed off the bed. If it is Claire, she will most likely try to prank me, which will fail. And if it is Timmy, he will come cuddle with me. In the very extreme case that it is my mother she will be banging pots and pans together like a mad women. There is a reason she never wakes us up. 

I listen closely to the sounds in my room while keeping my eyes closed and my breathing normal to as if I was sleeping. A squeak on the floor board tells me exactly who is in the room. I jump up and grab a beam that runs across the ceiling to avoid the tackle Toby had meant for me. 

Toby tries to rise from the pile of blankets on my bed but gets his foot tangled and falls to the floor with a loud bang. Mother comes running into the room after hearing the sound to find her two oldest children involved in a circus. Me hanging from a beam and Toby on the ground in a sea of blankets.
