The Wall We Built

Chapter 11

I pushed my self up off the ground, stumbled back words watching what was going on for a few more seconds trying to process what I just witnessed... Then the word came to mind: werewolf .  I turned and ran back the way we came.  I can't believe that this whole time I thought that I had a guardian angle... No... Not that at all... Far from it...

I kept running I didn't look back... I got back to the house and there he was... How did he get back so fast... I left before him?!?! I turned to run down the road... He ran after me calling "LYDIA WAIT LET ME EXPLAIN... please!"  He said please in such a way that seemed like if he lost me he would have lost his whole world.  I know this is probably a stupid decision... But I stopped and turned around slowly. 

"Okay you have ten minutes to explain what the hell just happened."  As I walked by him all he did was stare.  "Come on wolf boy I don't have all day and neither do you." He quickly snapped back into reality and followed me to the house. 

We got in the house and I followed him through all the twisting hallways till we got to a back room that was really old and creepy looking.  "Okay first things first you can't tell anyone about anything that happened... Second don't touch anything... all of this that I'm showing you... Which yes will explain everything... all of this back here is my parents.  There used to be a thing that my parents were in they never told me what it was called.  But anyway this all explains probably most of any questions that I bet you will ask." 

"Okay... Got it don't tell anyone and don't touch anything." I said trying not to laugh because he was being so serious. 

We walked in the tiny room and he explained everything... and he was right all of what he showed me did answer all my questions.  The room and all of what I was learning actually kind of freaked me out.  He told me there was a huge battle between to packs that were fighting for something called the Bijou... Which means jewel in Japanese.  He also told me the jewel is fought for because they are one of the most powerful wolves and only show up to one of the packs once every 100 years.  "Its been almost 100 years and we are still waiting for the Bijou... Sometimes he or she shows up early but you never know."

"Wait is it a human or a wolf like you?"

"They usually show up as a mortals...  So yes they show up as humans." He replied.  "For all we know it could be you."

"I doubt it I am not skilled on anyway other than cartwheels... I kind heart... and quiet."

"Okay well lets see... Since you moved here has there been a shadowy figure that follows you around... Have you felt as though you had the strength to take on a pack of wolves on your own as a human and not get hurt?"  He asked.

I thought about it for a second and as I noticed I felt that way all the time I must have mad a face that proved all this... He crossed his arms and smiled at me as if he knew exactly what my reaction would be.  "Are you just messing with me or is that the truth because that's friken weird.  The shadow part the rest... I have seen that thing five times... I thought I was just seeing things!"

"I was just kidding about the strength but the shadowy figure is really there... Its called a guardian... It keeps peace among humans and only the Bijou can see it."

I looked at him as if my life had just turned a completely different direction.  "Are there more than one like that or am I the only one?"  I hoped he was just messing with me but at the same time I wanted it be true... To be something more than I think I am.

"No I'm just kidding... You aren't the Bijou... You don't see any of that... You are just seeing things hahaha." He began to laugh and he really pissed me off.  I was done with whatever trick he was trying to pull.  I pushed my way past him and found my way to the front door.  He followed me trying to pull me back so that I would stop and talk to him and just as we got to the end of the hallway... He managed to get ahold of my arm, turned me to where we were face to face... I turned my head so that I didn't have to look him in the eyes... He lightly grabbed my chin and turned my head so that I had to look at him.

"I'm sorry... I didn't know I would have made you that angry." He leaned in and lightly kissed me on the lips.
