My Turn, Mate

Chapter 6 ~ Bring Me To Life

"Sam? Sam? Can you hear me?" A voice asked. It sounded familiar but I couldn't tell who it was. Everything sounded a bit hazy

"SAMMI! WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T WALK INTO THE LIGHT!" Someone shouted at me. Okay, I could tell who that was

I couldn't open my eyes. My whole body felt heavy and I just felt so sleepy

All of a sudden, I couldn't breathe. My lungs constricted and I sat up sharply gasping for air

"Sammi! You're ok!" Kate shouted, flinging herself at me. I chuckled. My laugh sounded throaty for some reason

"Water" I managed to croak out. Kate was still holding on tightly to me, saying how I should never do anything like that again. I drink my water quickly then start patting her back comfortingly.

"I'm okay Katie. Everything's all right"

"Don't you EVER do that again, you hear me?!" She shouted. I laughed

"Sure, Katie. I'll choose when I faint next time. Happy?" I asked. She nodded and got off of me. I glanced around the room and saw that, along with Kate, Matt, Nicola, Kendall, Javier and Katsa were all in the room too. I don't know why but it hurt a little when I realized Jason wasn't there.

"He's, er, in his study" Matt says, rubbing his neck, awkwardly. Huh?

"You might want to put a wall up" He whispered to me. What was he talking about? I suddenly realised that I hadn't shielded my thoughts so the whole pack could see what I was thinking.

I quickly blocked my mind and told myself that I didn't care whether Jason was here or not. He meant nothing to me.

Of course he means something to us, he's our mate! Yuki said to me

I don't care. He doesn't deserve to be our mate after what he did to us. I told her glumly

He could have changed by now. He might be different

Yuki, the only reason he wants us now is because we're powerful! I shouted at her. She didn't reply and I realised I had upset her

I'm sorry. Still no reply

I sighed and got up from my bed, ignoring the shouts and protests coming from the people around me. I hobbled over to the dresser where a pile of clothes was waiting for me. Everyone seemed to get the message as they filed out of the room as they left me to get changed.

Alone with my thoughts, I pondered over what Yuki had said. Is it possible that Jason had changed? No, he couldn't have. He treated me like shit once and I'll be damned if I ever let him do something like that again.

Content with my decision, I left the room to have a nose around and see what had changed since I'd last been here. A few of the Red Wood pack stuck their heads out of the door as I walked by, curious at my scent. They couldn't have guessed it was me though. After a werewolf shifts, their scent changes completely, so they had no way of knowing who I was except for the fact that I had a distingushed air of being an Alpha surrounding me.

Granted, I was a bit unorthodox for being an Alpha seeing as how I had beta blood in me but Lewis had seemed to think that I was worthy of the title and, besides, most beta's daughters became Alpha Females anyway.

I headed for the stairs down to the basement to see what they had done to it after I had left. I was shocked to see everything was in the same place except for one thing. My brother was sitting on the bed, knees pulled to his chest with his arms wrapped around them and his head on his knees. There was a bunch of my favourite flowers next to him on the matress, and he was sobbing, quietly, and muttering something. I stayed at the top of the stairs so as to not alert him of my presence and to try and hear what he was mumbling. I leaned in a bit so that I could hear better

"...so sorry Samantha....Never wanted you to.....Wish I could take it all back..."

That last part took me by surprise. He did? He regretted how he treated me?

My head felt like it was gonna explode. I pushed past everyone in the living room before I reached the doors, shoving them open like there was no tomorrow. I could hear voices collecting behind me but, at this point in time, i really didn't care if anyone was watching.

I ran out to the woods surrounding the house, my anger growing as I did. What right did they have to decide they were sorry now and not while they treated me like Shit!

"Sam!" I heard someone shout from behind me, but, I didn't stop. My fury took hold of me and, as soon as I was hidden in the trees, I shifted. There was an old path that ran along here to the sea, a few miles away that I used to go to when I was upset or depressed. I shook myself and then headed in the direction of my safe haven from when I was young.

***********

I didn't cry. Although the fates were being cruel to me, I could't find it in me to cry and, besides, I had promised myself I wouldn't after I became who I am now.

I sat on the rocks by the sea, throwing pebbles out and skimming them. The waves beat at my feet gently as I drifted along the sea line and I heard a voice call out from behind me.

"Are you alright?" Asked a girl around my age. I smelt werewolf on her but she wasn't in my pack so she must be in the Red Wood packand new, too. I hadn't seen her around before I ran away.

"No" I said bluntly before turning back to the sea. I expected her to walk away after I had spoken to her but she did the opposite and came to sit next to me instead. 

We sat there in silence for a while, the wind whipping our hair around us. 

"Why did you come back?" The girl asked. I looked at her confused so she explained

"I know who you are and I've heard the stories about you. After how they treated you, why did you come back?"

I thought about it for a minute then answered in a quiet voice 

"As much as I hate this pack, I don't want them to die. I wouldn't wish that on anyone"

 We sat in silence for a while until I heardMatt calling my name.

I stood up, brushing the sand off of my jeans. At the same time, the girl stood too and held out her hand to me

"I'm Layna, by the way" she said

I took her hand and gave it a firm shake like Lewis had taught me too.

"Sam"

I smiled at her then walked off towards the voice of my beta

A/N 

Well hello all you small people over there! Yes you! The one with the rainbow unicorn!

Ehehe sorry, I've had too much sugar today. Speaking of which, I should probably stop eating chocolate....

Sorry this chapter is a little bit short (meh) but, as I have told people before, my folks are redecorating and now, my dad's set up this stupid computer block that stops me from coming on here. It aslo stops certain videos on youtube that are COMPLETELY appropriate so sorry but you'll have to settle for the lyrics version instead of the actual video. I'm not sure what this song even has to do with this chapter. I just like it.....

Luckily for me and you, I managed to hack the password (I say hack, he left it on a post-it note in his study) and it's all good to go. 

That's all for now. See ya at the next chapter! Bye!

*teleports to the future cause I'm too lazy to walk*
