I See You

Apart

I couldn't get Remedy Kenetic away from my Kaitlyn at all.

The stupid fucking picnic went on for hours.

Hours filled with Kaitlyn basically ignoring me while hanging all over Venus, and Kenetic seemed more concerned with how Kaitlyn is taking Venus and I acting "weird" rather than the fact that our mates are dating!

My soulmate is dating my best friend, and she hates me! What is this strange reality?

Hours of hurtful snipes from Kaitlyn, when she wasn't ignoring me, of which she seemed surprised when I had not made a comeback she expected. Hours of Kenetic, who look almost exactly like my Kaitlyn (especially side by side), glaring at Venus and I for not completely knowing what 'playing along' means.

I don't want to play along!
I want my mate to not be all over my best friend.
I want my mate to be in my arms.
I want to know what exactly this place is and who the hell this girl really is.

Where the hell has that weird girl taken us? This is not how things are!

"Mystic, don't look now, but I think a buddy of yours is coming over here!" Kaitlyn yells, grabbing my attention.

I don't like the malice or the way she emphasizes the word 'buddy'. What kind of image do I have in this world?

"Hey, baby!" A sickeningly sweet, over the top voice squeals behind me.

I disregard it, as it's obviously not talking to me.

"Babe? Babe!" The voice questions, then demands angrily. "Hey, Mystic!"

I turn around and there I find myself wrapped in the grasp of Vines Falcone, someone who I used after I turned and found out I was hollow. And found out Kaitlyn was...I shut down that train of thought as it's not the issue at hand. And, well, yes I used her, but it was mutual. Her mate rejected her for his human lover, and in result, he was killed in a car accident three days later.

(You don't fuck with Bast's decisions.)

Well to make the anomaly situation short, like I mentioned, he died, and sadly I have no idea where she went when she disappeared last year. Ksoylk told me she left to get away, but my sister tries to protect me as best as she possibly can while preparing me to take over the Streak, so who really knows? Hopefully she found someone new and better.

Which brings us back to here.

As soon as I registered her arms around me, I threw my own in the air in surrender. What the hell is she doing latching onto me in whatever this reality is?

"So, you left last Saturday before I woke up," Vines tells me, her face pouting. Maybe it'd be cute, if I found any pout cuter than my Kaitlyn's. Thus I'm unaffected.

Unwittingly, as some random girl power walks towards us, I question, "I was at your house on Saturday?"

The power walking girl gasps, steps around Vines, and slaps me straight in the face.

Seriously? The face again?

Vines shoves the girl, screeching at her. "Bitch, get off her! What's your problem?"

The other girl, who I'll admit is sort of pretty (but is nowhere near the beauty of Kaitlyn), yells back, "She was with me Saturday evening!"

Before I know what's happening, my head snaps the opposite way than before, leaving me with two flaming cheeks.

Both girls storm off, leaving the four of us in a moment of deep silence.

Suddenly Kaitlyn becomes my unlikely hero. "What are you all looking at? Go away!"
