Chapter 10: No One Likes an Incomplete Puzzle
I felt Zavier wrap his arms around me and pull me close. His embrace immediately calmed me and made me feel safe and loved. It temporarily chilled the burning feelings of pain, anger, and hatred that was boiling inside of me.
"Shhhh, it's ok, we'll be fine. I won't let anyone hurt you," he said, a feeling of protectiveness rolled off his voice in waves. He put my cheek in his hand and used his thumb to wipe my tears.
Tears? I hadn't even known I was crying. I guess even after all this I'm just a scared little girl.
Slowly I peeled Zavier's arms off of me and made my way to Conner. I extended my arms and held the arrow out to him, pleading with my eyes for him not to say anything right now. I don't want to worry Zavier anymore than I already have, and I have a feeling that someone threating would worry him a bit. Thankfully Conner seemed to acknowledge my silent plea. But I have a feeling I would be seeing him later.
After that I simply walked towards the elevator saying nothing, and pushed the button to the correct floor. No one dared to follow me. I really just wanted to have some time to tall to Aria. This is all so confusing, how could she not know? And what was she saying about Zavier?
The elevator dinged signaling the end of my ride. I made my way to my room, and automatically locked my door.
"Aria, how could you not know?" I inquired, laying down on my plush forest green comforter. I ran my finger over the embroidered flowers and leaves.
"This might make sense but it's because when everyone stopped believing my soul wasn't just taken there. It left me in small pieces. My thoughts, memories, and dreams have essentially been locked away from me in different parts of the wolf world. That's probably why till now I've, well we've, never felt whole. Even after meeting Zavier you can't tell me you've felt whole. Sure you may have felt a little bit better than before but not completely and utterly whole. But after hearing all of that I feel like I'm making progress in finding all those missing pieces," she answered, grief slowly wove itself into her voice. I sat up a little bit and leaned against my pillows.
"So basically you're just like me, you're also hearing all of this for the first time," I said, summarizing what she told me.
"Exactly."
"And what were you saying about Zavier?"
"I'm sorry I never mentioned this before, but I'm sure we've met him a long time ago and several times at that."
"I'm sure I can ask Zavier to clarify that for me, even if he can't answer me now, he'll remember eventually. Right?"
"I hope he can."
"My god this is so confusing."
"What?" she questioned.
"Life in general!" I replied, thankful I have someone to voice my thoughts too. I was exaspered, everytime I finally thought I understood something new information would be discovered. "It's like a spiderweb. It's so fragile and complex. It takes so long to create, but no matter how you spin it, it could all come crashing down on you eventually."
"It's like we're trying to complete a puzzle but we're missing pieces," Aria said sighing.
"Well no one likes an incomplete puzzle. Time to hunt for those missing pieces, well in our case answers," I replied, a grin plastered onto my face. I want answers and I'm going to get them. No matter what I have to do.
