The Guardians

Chapter 21

Thirteen lean, round towers tower above all, they were linked with small bridges and were connected by lower, solid walls made of dark green stone. The only reason as to why the stone was a dark green was because of all of the moss, due to the fact that it seemed to be abandoned quite awhile ago. Refined windows were scattered thinly across the walls in a seemingly random pattern, along with small holes for archers and artillery. It was beautiful, but I found it awfully strange how it was abandoned. I walked through the gate and felt a strange feeling, like I was pushing against a force to get past. It was only light, but it did feel weird. Slowly, I walked upon the pathway, and strolled past the smaller towers, heading towards the entrance that happened to be open. Someone was inside? Carefully, I jumped over the rubble and walked through the huge entrance. I heard something from further inside as I made my way through nothing but darkness. Ever heard the saying "curiousity killed the cat"? Well I was starting to become weary of this.

I dragged my feet through the darkness and ended up seeing a bright light, and I couldn't see what it was coming from. Suddenly, I felt something push me to the ground. Whatever it was, it was strong; And I was in trouble. Big trouble! I didn't know what to do, so I followed my gut instinct and ran towards the light. I heard a loud growl from behind me, and I looked behind me to see a huge red coloured wolf that was snarling at me, I didn't know what to do. I screamed as loud as I could and then I felt another type of force within me. My fingers turned pale blue and I could feel the room getting colder and colder. Astonished and in a trance, I noticed the wolf start to struggle as it came closer, until it was stuck, frozen an inch away from my face. I felt so sick, did the king of demons summon this? Did he know where I was? I stood up, and looked down at my hands, they were changing to my usual skin colour. Although, I felt that my eyes did not change colour, I knew they would change however when I used the powers. Looking around the whole room, I noticed the light coming from a huge window on the ceiling. It was stained glass, and had werewolves howling at a moon on it. I was probably in a place I shouldn't be, so I headed out of the castle quickly, I could feel myself getting ready to throw up because of the shock and using so much power. I never knew there was a limit. I ran out of there as soon as I could, and left the wolf and the frozen wolf. I don't know why I went in. Curiosity almost killed me. My sight became blurry eventually and I heaved over to throw up. I did, however it wasn't normal puke, it was like bright blue water. As I was facing the floor, I recognized a big cut on my leg, and then it started to hurt. I didn't even know how I had done it, but I ended up wincing in pain as my brain had started to tell me I was injured. Then, my thoughts ran over to Alex, part of me wanted to go back to him and apologize for everything, running away and all. That was all I am good at.

I had decided that I needed to go back to him and explain everything. I need to tell him how I feel about this whole thing and ask him to forgive me. If he didn't then I wouldn't know what to do; He had helped me escape from that horrific demon realm, he saved my life. I should repay him, not run away from him like he is some monster. My heart fluttered as I thought of him, the fact that he and I are... Mates. Me and him were meant to be together, but maybe it didn't mean in a love way, maybe a friend way. I am just not ready to be in a relationship with someone, and love them. Look where that got me, well no, it wasn't love that got me here, it was the fact that my "mother" ended up lying to me about myself. It was definitely a shock to the system when I had discovered this, I thought it was some joke, like on all of the tv shows where they do silly things like this. Running as fast as I could through the forest, I went back to where he was, and if he wasn't there then I would have to go to the wolf territory and I am pretty sure they would not want me there. I couldn't care less anymore, he saved my life in a horrible place that could have got him killed for helping me, so I could at least find him and tell him how I truly feel. And part of me did love him, but I somehow still felt that I couldn't trust anyone anymore.
