Once In A Lifetime Love

Chapter Eight

Sam had gone inside to get something for me to wear after I phase back. Jay being the Beta was left to talk me through the phase. The process hurt. But not as much as it had the first time. Putting on the shorts and shirt that Sam had brought out for me, I step back inside of Emily's.

Sam motioned for me to sit down at the table as both he and Jay pull up a chair. As I sit down, Emily places a plate of food before me, filled with pasta. I smile gratefully at her. Looking at Sam, I ask, What the Fuck? What just happened to me? And why? Sam takes a deep breath as he scrubbed a hand over his face. Between both Sam and Jay, they give me a crash course in our tribes history. From the time of our ancestor Taha Aki to the present.

As I process all of this information, I put two and two together. Looking Sam dead in his eyes, I whisper, A vampire killed my Dad. Sam nods his head, saying," Yeah". "And we believe that he's stalking both you and your Mom".

With those words, my mind reflects back on my dreams and the red eyes that I would see when I woke up. The vampire had been in my own bedroom as I had slept. He had watched me. Talked to me, causing me to believe that I was dreaming. He had promised me a better life. One where I wasn't ridiculed and made fun of.

The trembling starts in my fingers as the dreams begins to play back in my mind. The memories are too much. Shoving back my chair, I barely make it outside before I phase for the second time. The dreams are still playing in my mind as I begin to run. I have no clue as to where I am going. I just want to get away. I need time to think. To be alone.

As I am running, I hear the boys voices filling my head. They can't believe the images that they are witnessing in my thoughts. Feeling a snap in my mind, I suddenly can not hear their thoughts. Sighing in relief, I slow down. Stopping at the cliffs. Laying down on the rocky cliff, I stare out at the churning waters. My mind trying to process everything.
