The Rouge and the Reject

Somewhere I Belong

Outside of Bismarck, North Dakota
Arya.

I stared at the soft pink colored tiles that lined the wall in the women's restroom. We had already been in here for ten minutes, it was only a matter of time before the boys became suspicious. I stared down at Melody as she rested her head on the toilet seat.

"I'm so sorry." She managed to get out before spewing up the rest of her breakfast into the toilet bowl. I continued to hold her hair up and rub her back.

"Shhh don't even worry about it." I reassured her with a soft smile.

There was a small knock on the door before it opened and June walked in quickly shutting my and locking the door behind her.

"How is she?" She asked me as she placed her backpack on the counter pulling out Melody's tooth brush and a bottle of mouth wash.

"She's fine just a little morning sickness." I replied as I pulled some toilet paper off the roll next to me and handed it to Melody to wipe her mouth with.

"I'm fine guys really, don't worry about me." Melody lifted her head from the toilet and forced herself to smile.

"Your scent is starting to change, the guys are figure it out soon." June retorted with a frown.

"Well I guess it's a good thing that we'll be in Colorado by tomorrow and this whole thing will be solved once Arya kicks some serious ass." Melody spoke as she slowly stood up and made her way to the sink to brush her teeth. June looked over to me with concerned eyes.

"And what about after? We just pretend we didn't know you were pregnant or are we like 'Hey surprise guys! We lied!'" Melody giggled a little spitting a wad of toothpaste out of her mouth as she laughed.

"They'll be so excited that we won that me telling them would just be icing on the cake no ones gonna give a fuck. June you let your anxiety get the best of you girl. Relax! Go smoke a blunt!" Melody playfully pushed June's shoulder then continued to brush her teeth. I couldn't help but admire her strength, she was such an incredible woman. Everything my brother needed to help him find his way.

At that moment I realized that absolutely everything about my life had changed since Daniel walked up the stairs of that dusty old attic. None of this would have happened if he hadn't decided to come to our territory and stay there. I would have never left home. Connor would have never run off looking for me and met Melody. I wouldn't have become best friends with Jeremy and Peter. I knew that this right here was my true fate, Mason wasn't my chosen mate. The Moon Goddess had weaved an extraordinary destiny for me in the stars. I smiled inwardly as I thought about how everything would be different now, I had the family I had always dreamed of having and even more.

"What are you smiling about?" June giggled as she pulled me out of my thoughts. I looked at the two girls who stood in front of me smiling

"I just love you guys." I couldn't help but grin even more and pull them both into a group hug.

"We love you too girl! Let's go before the guys complain that were taking too long." We all laughed as we made our way out of the women's restroom of the truck stop.

The guys were already sitting by the trucks waiting for us to come outside. My eyes met Daniel's as we crossed to parking lot and headed their way.

"Finally!" Mark yelled out dramatically "What did you fall into the toilet and find Narnia? What took you guys so long?!" He joked I couldn't help but laugh.

"Yeah we found Narnia and defeated that evil bitch queen that's why it took so long. Sorry guys but when you have the opportunity to save another dimension from an evil icy tyrant you just have to accept the offer." I spoke so seriously. The girls and I began to laugh.

"See I told you dude, everything cool happens in the ladies room! They fucking found Narnia!" Mark spoke to Jeremy who simply rolled his eyes and laughed.

"Yeah I guess you were right dude. Okay well let's switch up for the rest of the ride, Melody and Conner I want you to take the van and lead the way back to Colorado from here." Jeremy said turning his attention to my brother.

"Alright dude, it's pretty much a straight shot down 94 to 90 and we'll be there. Should only take a few hours, if we limit our stops." Connor replied wrapping his arms around Melody as he spoke.

"Cool, June Peter and Mark will take the Bronco behind them and we'll follow behind in the Jeep. Now the closer we get the more likely it's is that we'll run into one of Mason's minions. We gotta be prepared to stop if we need to and fight. This means we have to stay close we can't lose each other on the highway. Remember guys were strongest together. We stick together, we fight together, we survive together." Jeremy spoke passionately as everyone hung onto his every word. I glanced around our little family circle and smiled to myself, this was exactly where I'm supposed to be.

"Alright well go until the van hits a quarter tank of gas. Connor you make the call to Peter when we're about to stop and he'll send he message along." Daniel piped up and he wrapped his arm around my waist and began pulling me to the Jeep.

"You got it chief" Connor saluted Daniel as he turned to head towards the van.

"Time to go raise some fucking hell!" Peter yelled as he jumped into his Bronco and started it up revving the engine a little. I couldn't help but laugh at him. Even though he was entirely right. It was time to raise some fucking hell and time to destroy a monster.
