Meeting death

chapter 30- Shadows and ghosts and Lycans oh my!

When I wake up, I'm groggy and it is dark outside. I slowly sit up and feel a slight pounding sensation in my head.

Be carefull little one. Don't sit up to fast.

I look down and see Severus looking up at me with a blank face.

"how long was I out for?" He shruggs his wolfy shoulders and rests his head on his paws. I take Severus's advice and sit up slowly. I stretch and plant my feet on the ground. I get up slowly and look around the room I'm in. im in Kaelibs room. 

"why am I in Kaelibs bed?" I hear faint laughter coming from below the deck. I wander out and look down on a bondfire they are having. Gathered around, laughing and chuckling.

"Remember that time we met? you thought I was human and tried to feed off of me" Ness says to Rath. Rath chuckles darkly and smiles with his teeth, making him look like a shark.

'Oh I remember alright* he says as he winks at Ness makng her blush.

"Do you remember how we met Kat? that old fashion show in paris, 1832* I hear Carlisle chuckle. I see Kat hide her face behinde her hands, ducking away. I giggle, and everyone looks up. The first persons eyes I meet are Kaelibs. they seem to stare.

"hey sweety! come on down" Carlisle yells up. I'm still staring at Kaelib and I swear I see anger flicker across his face at the word 'sweety'

Kaelibs P.O.V

I feel anger coarse through my veins when I hear Carlisle call MY mate 'sweety' she was mine! I'm still staring at her as she jumps over the two storey balconey and lands lightly on the dirt ground. She straightens up and smiles brightly, making my stomach do a backflip and my Heart ache for longing. She looks over at me then hesitates, and goes to sit next to Carlisle. I feel my shadow self want to appear and tear Carliles throat out, but I take deep breathes to try and calm myself. I look up and everyone is staring at me.

"what? " I spit out. I hear my mate speak.

"You growled" I clench my teeth together.

"I'm going for a walk" I say through gritted teeth and get up without another word.

Shadows P.O.V

I frown confused by Kaelibs behaviour. I shrugg it off and go back to talking with Carlisle and Rath.

"So shadow, how come we only just found you?" Rath asks. I shrugg.

"I don't know. I only remember waking up in an alley with Sev and that's about it" Rath nods thoughtfully. Kat throws her hands in the air.

"Does anybody remember the century when that lycan was milling about? that was an exciting time" I frown.

"Lycan? as in werewolf?" she nods like a bobble head.

"yuhp the very ones. there was only one at the time, but I'm guessing there were more. Would've sucked for the vampires. such a shame* she says shaking her head. I look at her smiling.

"vampires are pesky things. I really do hope that there are more lycans. That one lycan was....interesting." Rath says.

"did you ever meet the lycan?" Eddy chuckles.

"oh god no! he would have ripped us apart" I frown slightly confused.

"Why though" Lena claps her hands together, taking over the story.

"well! there were stories about this witch. A witch so powerful she could do anything. she spoke for the light and the earth, whereas our fathers spoke for the darkness and its horrors. This witch, keeping the balance of the light and dark, had a child. She was to take the place of her mother, but was brutally killed by a man. The witch was so mad, she cast a spell on the man and his family to come. This was her way of giving her powers to someone else since she had no heir. That spell, was lycanthrope. It was also a curse. A curse of the moon, and the generations to come." Lena pauses and looks around at everyone staring at her. She carries on.

"The man never triggerd the lycan gene. It was only activated when somene died by the person hand, and since he hadn't killed anyone after the witches daughter, it lay dormant. But. He had a child. The child accidently activated the gene when he accidentally drowned one of his childhood friends. He was ten at the time. And then it began. On the first full moon, the little boy shifted into the monster of balance between light and dark, yet also a dark creature himself. He found us once, But he was old, and shifting would have killed him, so he made sure he had plenty sons to hunt us down. We haven't seen one since." I frown.

"What was the lycans name?" Lena looks into the fire as she whispers a name.

"Lucas" And everything goes black again.

Flash back

I sit on the dirt in my what was once a white dress, waiting for my friend. I look back, and see the man I saw before I fell asleep in the alley, sitting in a rocking chair on the deck of a small old tavern looking shack. He smiles at me and I somehow smile back, feeling a connection with him. I look back down, rubbing my hands in the dirt, but they aren't my hands. they are small lean fingers. 10 year old hands. I hear a laugh and look up to see a boy ten years of age, with the deepest green eyes, and curly black locks I had ever seen walking towards me. I seem to smile at him, feeling comfortable in his presence, and he smiles back, plonking himself down in front of me. We don't say anything to eachother. I see behinde him a man come out of a shack that looked identical to the one behinde me, and he watches the boy in front of me. I'm guessing its his father. I turn around and see the man on the deck narrowing his eyes as he watches the father of the boy infront of me. I frown at he boy, as he looks back at his father. He turns around and gives me a fearful expression before getting up and slowly walking towards his father. I feel my eyes tear up as I try to tell him not to go, but my voice isn't working. I cry in frustration, and feintly hear someone calling my name. My eyes snap open, and one name is on my tongue.

Kaelibs p.o.v

She is sleeping peacefully, then next minute, she is thrashng around, tears spilling out of her eyes. I grip her arms holding them down and call out her name.

"Shadow? Shadow" Her eyes snap open and her eyes are distant before they focus and she whispers one name.

"Lucas" I feel like my Heart had been stabbed a thousand times and had been broken in half then stomped on. I know it was showing on my face, because my mates eyes look at me with sadness.

"kaelib i-" I let go of her and walk out the room, catching Lena on the way out.

"watch over her" I say through clenched Teeth. Lena looks at me weirdly before nodding and heading into room.

Shadows p.o.v

I feel my Heart slightly ache as I see the pain in his eyes. I don't know why but I felt a connection with him. And that connection was the one that was making me feel the stabbing pain in my Heart for making him sad. Lena enters the room and sees my face, worried instantly.

"sweety, are you ok? what's wrong?" I shake my head wiping away a tear, trying to dull the pain by not paying attention to it.

"its nothing I'm fine." she knows I'm lying, but she sighs and sits in the chair next to my bed.

"so why do you keeping blacking out on us?" images of Lucas pop up in my head.

"That lycan you were talking about...." I trail off.

"lucas?" she says wearily. I nod. She frowns. "yes, what about him?" I look out the window of Kaelibs room.

"When I was a child, I had a friend. He had deep green eyes, with black curly hair. We were the best of friends....until I was taken away. He then continued to live his life...until one day he accidentally drowned his friend while they were rowwing. the boat tipped, and he tried searching for his friend... but his friend had hit his head on the boat when it tipped and he drowned while he was unconcious. Later that week...it was a full moon." Lenas eyes widened, with one name on her lips.

"Lucas"
