Skylar POV

I was being shook. My eyes snapped open as I shot upwards and crouched down next to me was Natalie.. my adopted mom. She looked petrified as her hands were still placed on my shoulders. I felt tears falling from my chin and down my neck. 

"Sky" She moved a hand and put it up against my forehead. Her hand was freezing and I reeled backwards, hitting my back on the pillows of the sofa. Had I fallen asleep after Zane left? "It's okay, Sky. I'm here." She sat next to me and hugged me, rocking us back and forth as she stroked my hair. Like she used to when I dreamt of my mothers death. I ended up bawling my eyes out as she sat with me, whispering comforting words into my ear, reminding me that my mother was still with me, in a sense. 

I'm so sorry .. mother.

Natalie POV

I had come home and saw Sky asleep on the sofa. I sighed and smiled at her sleeping form. She was too big to carry up to her bed, like I used to do. It was late, and I didn't want to wake her. I took the small blanket off the back and lay upon her to make sure she wouldn't get cold. I then went upstairs to my own bed, ready to drop down and sleep all night.. 

I was wrong. 

I woke with a start as I heard a scream coming from downstairs. I was up like a bolt, and at Skylars side in a second. She was thrashing back and forth, with tears falling from her face. I had to do something. I shook her gently, and gradually got more hard to make sure she would wake up. When she did she said nothing, but looked at me with panic in her eyes. 

"Sky" I moved my hand to her forehead, and she was boiling hot. She moved away from my hand, probably fazed from the sudden coolness. 

"It's okay Sky. I'm here"

I sat next to her and hugged her, rocking us back and forth as I stroked her hair. She ended up bawling my eyes out as I sat there, whispering comforting words into her ear, reminding her that her mother was still with her, in a sense. 

I had stopped when her breathing had evened out, and she had fallen asleep again. I smiled at her and lay her down again and put a cushion on the floor and lied down next to the sofa, curling up on the fluffy carpet and falling asleep. 

I was woken up by the phone ringing and the golden rays of sun streaming through the slightly parted curtains. That's when realization hit me. I scurried up and ran to the counter in the kitchen and picked up the phone. 

"Hello?"

"Natalie, why are you late? By half an hour?" My boss said down the phone, trying to keep the annoyance out of her voice. 

"I'm so sorry, Skylar had a bad night and I overselpt." 

"The dreams?" She said sincerely. 

"I'm afraid so." I walked up the stairs to go get dressed, still on the phone. 

"Okay, well, just try to make it here soon, I need you here" And with that she hung up. I looked over at the clock and it was half past ten. Hay wouldn't be going into school today anyway. I looked in the mirror and brushed my hair out, not bothering to put it up. I was wearing loose black suit trousers and a black blouse. I slipped my flats on and grabbed my handbag and opened the door, to see a tall young man with deep purple/black hair. 

"Can I help you?" I asked, fishing around in my bag for the keys to my car.

"I'm a friend of Skylar's, when she wasn't in English this morning I was worried and came over as soon as it finished."

"Oh, well, who are you exactly?"

"My name is Zane, Zane Eveans. Mate of Skylar. Only, she doesn't seem to quite get it yet." He smirked as he held out his hand. 

I smiled. "She'll work it out eventually. Okay, I trust you won't do anything rash. She had a rough night, so just be, tasteful. Oh and I'm Natalie. Nice to meet you." I shook his hand gently and then walked around him to the car, then getting in and driving away. 

Zane POV

So that's Natalie, her adopted mom. She was good looking, looked a little like Sky but not quite. Which would explain the fact that she really was her auntie. I opened the front door and went in, closing it behind me gently and saw Skylar asleep on the sofa, where I left her yesterday. I wondered what had happened after I left .. 

I came up to her and my wolf sensed something was up. I placed my hand on her head, feeling the burning hot skin. I looked around and saw a flannel that was on the small coffee table next to her that I was guessing Natalie put there for her. It was still cold. Good. I sat on the sofa next to her and gently dabbed at her skin. She moved a little, groaning quietly as she turned on her side. I sat behind her and pulled her up a little, making her head rest on my chest as I sat her on my lap. This way I could make sure she was okay and I could keep her cool. I ended up turning on her tv, keeping it quiet so I didn't wake her. 

My wolf pleaded for me to be closer, and was questioning why I hadn't told her who I was yet. I didn't want that. I wanted to actually know her before I did anything. If she wanted it, she'd have to get it.

I was so distracted by my thoughts that I didn't notice her move until she waved a hand in my face. 

"Morning, beautiful" I smiled. 

"M-morning..? W-what are you doing here?" She yawned, stretching one of her arms up. It was then that I noticed that she was still wearing the same clothes as she was yesterday. 

"Your mom let me in. She had to go to work and didn't want to leave you alone after last night.. By the way, what happened last night?" I asked, watching her face fall. 

"Oh, that. N-nothing, just bad dreams really." She looked down at her hands that were now in her lap, not looking at me. 

"Please, tell me Sky" I took her hands in mine and she looked up at me, her eyes watering. 

She sighed. "Well.."

Okay, I thought I'd stop there, so I didn't have to recap the dream again. ;~; I am updating really frequently, like 3 times this week alone, and it's hard with school and stuff so I'm really sorry if I end up slowing it down. I need to figure out the plot to each chapter and then edit it to be more detailed and stuff.. But thankyou for your pachence I really appresiate it. Read, comment, vote, do what you guys do c:
