Becoming Kelly

Instant Ramen soup

Ok so, I was originally hoping to stretch out the time between Kelly and Ethan meeting and kissing. But unfortuately, Im half way through the book! Which is good really. Now let the drama begin. MUHAHAHAHA!

Super short chapter by the way. Kinda wanted this bit of the story out of the way though.

Kelly POV

I stare at Ethan. Why the fuck would he remember I'm his soulmate?

He stares back at me and scrunches up his eyebrows.

I am so afraid of saying anything. I don't want Ethan changing. I don't want Ethan rebelling. I don't want Ethan to hate his Faerie side. Most of all, I don't want Ethan as a partner now.

Sure, I just hatched off 10,000 years of having to look for a soulmate. But it wasnt suppose to be this easy. I'm suppose to pass through some sort of trouble to find him.

But maybe thats just it.

I'm not going to have trouble finding him. He's the one who's going to give me trouble. I can see it now, he won't accept me as a soulmate.

I already love him though. At the same time I'm not ready for a soulmate.

I hear a splash and I snap out of my thoughts. I look around and dont see Ethan. Only to see his body float up in a wierd angle. I grab him only to see that his eyes are closed. He must of passed out. Even better honestly. Maybe he really won't remember what just happened.

I drag his body to the sand, away from the now-chilly lake water.

I run my hand down the sides of his face. He is so handsome. I can't believe the gods have chosen him for me. I can't help but wonder if he is a half human Faerie. His parents aren't faeries so someone from the last generations has to be. I remember that I haven't met Ethan's father. His father may be faerie. Then again, Delia never mentioned Ethan's father being a Faerie.

I lay down next to Ethan on the sand. He hasn't woken up yet. I close my eyes and find myself lulled by the sounds of the water...

"Pst...

heyy...

pst.....

wake up."

"Hmmm." I mumble.

"Seriously, wake up."

"mmmghnnn." I mumble some more.

"...Dude, its going to take us forever to get to camp. I had my phone in my pocket when we went to the water. So its totally shit- HEY! KELLY! are you awake?"

"Yes Ethan. I'm awake. I can hear you just fine. I ran straight here and ended up about 40 feet from the deck. We will just walk straight back." I say rolling my eyes. I get up and walk back toward the deck and then straight to camp with Ethan right behind me.

I really cant believe Ethan has some Faerie in him. To seriously not get any powers for so many years is bizarre. Powers come in before your a teenager. Then again, I dont know the age that demi-Faerie children change. What if they dont ever change. I wonder how long they live...

Maybe he isnt a half Faerie though. What if he is adopted? What if the Grant family raised him as their own. But what Faerie couple would just drop a Faerie child on earth?

Ok no. Ethan actually looks like Mrs.Grant so he can't be adopted. So maybe I should be looking more into Mr and Mrs Grant. Or even Ethan's grandparents. I need to look at the whole fimily tr-

"Hey are you alright?" Ethan asks me. I havent spoken to him since we got up and left the lake. My mind has been consumed by the idea of his Faerie.

"Yes Ethan I am okay." I sigh.

"Okay is good. Are you still mad at me?" Ethan asks rather insecuredly.

"No Ethan."

When we get to our campgrounds I begin to worry. I begin to worry because I don't know what lineage Ethan is. What if the reason his Faerie hasnt appeared is because someone is trying to suppress it? Am I being paranoid? I turn and look Ethan in the eyes. He looks exhausted and annoyed.

I turn and walk back towards him completely mesmerized. I place a hand on his chest and he freezes as if he were paralyzed by my touch. His body language screams uncertainty and complete submission while his eyes say he is aware of our attraction.

The attraction that was barely noticeable before is like a live wire now. I've never felt such energy.

"Hey." I say lamely.

He smirks at me and I cock an eyebrow. Ethan shakes his head and laughs. "Stop being so cute Kelly. I might end up trying to get you to fall for me and you don't want a guy like me. I'm damaged goods and I don't understand whatever this is. Your just confusing me." He puts his hand over mine and squeezes it. He moves my hand off his chest and walks into the trailer.

My heart beats like crazy for this kid. I've seen centuries, I've seen disasters of the natural and the emotional. Ive seen evolutions of all kinds too. But I've never been this terrifed of the unknown.

This love for Ethan can blow up in my face. This love for Ethan can be my destruction.  The destruction of everything. Something so pure as love will intoxicate and destroy the balance in the Isle. Because when I rule the Isle, this kid will be right my side. I truly wouldnt have it any other way.
