The Impression That I Get

Chapter 5

CHAPTER 5

I scrunched my eyes up really hard and opened them again. Maybe it was just a shadow of tree? Nope. 

There was definitely someone outside standing on my balcony. Oh god. 

The first thought that came to mind was to scream. I tried, I really did but nothing came out, the most I could manage was a tiny squeak. The doors from my balcony began to open slowly, I jumped out of my bed in a heartbeat. "Whoever you are, you better not take another step!" I said. "I have two strong step brothers who would happily kick your ass!" I added as a last resort.

I began to feel ominously warm. Is it strange that once this guy came into my room I felt a strange warmth come over me? Yes, Sarah that is strange you should feel threatened and scared to the bone, balling your eyes out in the corner of your room, all of the above! I thought to myself. "Whoa, whoa, Sarah" he put his hands up as if to defend himself. "Let's not turn to this situation into a violent one," the voiced said jokingly. "I just wanted to talk. I didn't get to explain myself and I know this must be confusing and I just wanted you to understand what's going on." He pleaded. "Jason?" I took a small step forward to get a better look at the dark figures face that stood in front of me. "Yeah it's me, why? Were you expecting someone else to crawl through your window tonight?" He answered. "You don't need to explain yourself, I already know what happened! You’re just some horny guy that can't keep his hands to himself." I semi-yelled, I didn't want to alert John and Lucas just yet. "No, you've got it all wrong! Please, give me 3 minutes of your time and I'll explain everything!" He said.

The moon was shining just right on his face and I could see was the pleading look in his eyes. I must be crazy I thought to myself, I must be a masochist! "Your time starts now" I finally gave in. "Okay, so first question do you believe in the supernatural?" Jason said. I quirked one eyebrow and gave him a confused look. "Look I need you to trust me and just answer the question...." "Fine, sure I guess I believe there are other things out there besides humans. What's this got to do with you attacking me today?" I replied, maybe too aggressively. Suddenly he started to blurt out words as fast as he could. "Well you see, I'm a werewolf and with each werewolf they are gifted with a mate. Someone that will always be there for them, someone to hold them when they need comforting, and someone that will love them unconditionally and that mate will be loved in returned. And well, you’re see your my mate," he ended with a sheepish grin. In my amazement I was actually able to hear everything he was saying and understood it, Even though he was talking at a speed that would have given gossip girls a run for their money. "Okay, is something you do to the new kid? Where is the camera? Are there people hiding in my closet?" I started to look around. "I'm not joking Sarah, I know this is a lot to take in and there is probably a better way of telling you this. But as soon as I saw you I knew you were mine and my inner wolf took over, I honestly thought I had better control of him but I can't say that I was resisting all that hard either I just wanted to have you in my arms. I never thought he would go so far though. When I found out you were human it all clicked, why you didn't feel the pull as much as I did and the way you reacted. I knew I had to explain myself but I was always one step behind you and I wasn't able to talk to you alone. I waited till you were alone in your room and now here we are." He smiled.

I semi melted a little at his smile and then pulled myself back to reality. "This has to be the craziest story I've ever heard! You honestly think I'm going to believe that?!" I finally said. "Look I’m not lying! I would show you proof if I thought you wouldn't pass out from the shock.." "Prove it." "Sarah I don't think you’re ready," He said, with a concerned look on his face. "Prove it!" I was running out of patience. "Fine, turn around!" I gave him a questioning look and then reluctantly turned around and waited for him. I can't believe this is the story he is going for! There are much less elaborate and much more believable ways to con a girl into a date! I waited and waited until I heard a whimper. "Jason?" I questioned into the darkness. I slowly turned around and there sitting at the end of my bed was the biggest grey wolf I had ever seen. It was beautiful I couldn't tear my eyes away from the beast.  My jaw dropped. I couldn't believe it, this was just unreal. "You’re beautiful," I whispered to him. I kept pinching myself. Nope this was definitely not a dream. But the weirdest part was that I hadn't gone screaming out of my room like a mad man or done what Jason said and passed out from shock. I had so many questions. How did this happen? Are there others? Can you do other supernatural things? WAIT! The ice! Maybe I wasn't going crazy after all maybe that was part of him being a wolf? He nudged with his head and licked my arm. I couldn't help but giggle. He was so adorable as wolf, much more easier to deal with as well in that form, as wolves don’t have opposable thumbs and all. I gave him a scratch behind the ear which he seemed to enjoy. "Could you change back? I've got a million questions going through my head and I feel like I'm going to burst." I asked. He nodded and I turned around.  I could hear him getting back into his clothes and knew he was done when I felt two large arms go around me and boy did it feel good. "I can't believe you’re okay with this. Ask as many questions as you want." He said happily. "I'm not sure I'm fully okay with this, I mean it's still a big shock and this still feels like a dream but I might feel a bit better if I knew more." "Fire away" he grinned. "Okay so this afternoon when we shared our first encounter." He shyly looked away. I could tell he wasn't happy with himself for what happened. I snuggled into him a little more to let him know that I understand. "I imagined there was ice over my feet. Was that me tripping out was that some wolfy voodoo?" "Well, I can honestly say I've never heard anyone call it ‘wolfy’ voodoo but you weren't imagining anything. You see, I have power over water. I can manipulate it into anything I want it to do including freezing it." "Wow, is that normal for werewolves?" "Yes, each werewolf is gifted with one element I'm gifted with water my mother as well and my father has control over earth. You see Werewolves were created from the moon goddess and we were gifted with the elements from the earth goddess. She has control over all 4 elements." "Woah, Are there many others? Like you and your family I mean?" I asked eagerly. "Yes there are around 400 other werewolves in my pack but there about 14 other packs in the country, some with more werewolves in them." "In 'your' pack as in you’re their leader?" "Uh, well it's my father’s pack at the moment but when I turn 21 it automatically becomes mine. With my mate at my side," He said the last part softly. He lightly kissed my jaw. It was pure bliss a simple peck like that had left tingles all along my jaw. I had to clear my throat or I would come out sounding all husky. 

"So I would be helping you lead this pack of about 400 werewolves with you?" I said, my voice slowly shaking from the nervousness of his last comment. I could barely look after a goldfish I had a few years back, what would I be like leading over 400 werewolves?! I started to have mini panic attack. "It's okay Sarah, you will be a great leader I know you will." He said with a confident smile. Okay I think reached my limit tonight. "I can't wait to tell the guys I've finally found my mate." He said, excited. "Jason wait, can we possibly slow this down a bit I mean I met you less than 24 hours ago and this is all going so fast. Could we keep this to ourselves for a while?" He didn't seem to like what I said. His grip on my arms became slightly tighter and he jaw was clenched. "How long is a while?" He asked through clenched teeth. "I don't know, I need to digest everything and to be honest Jason, I don't know if I can handle this new world I've been thrown into. Can't it just be on the down low for a few days? Just until I know what to do?" I explained, "Please understand." "Is 7 days long enough?" He asked a little more nicely. "7 days would be great. Thank you Jason." "I can understand why you would want to do this, I just want to show my mate off and make sure other guys know that you belong to me." He said, with a slight hint of disappointment in his voice. I was beginning to think Jason was a little bit possessive. Not sure if I'm going to like that or not, I thought to myself. I nodded. He gave me a kiss on the cheek and headed towards my balcony. Before he dropped to the ground he said, "I'll see you tomorrow, my love." And with that he was gone. I sat in my bed for a few moments trying to soak up everything that just happened. I locked my balcony doors and tried to snuggle as best I could into my bed. I knew I was not going to get much sleep tonight and all that I could think was... Tomorrow is going to be interesting.
