Altered Fate

A Break Would Be Nice (Chp. 14)

~Keri's POV~

I'll walk with you, Luke said. No. I'm perfectly fine walking on my own. Thanks for your consideration, I said. Luke put on puppy eyes in his wolf-form the most adorable way possible. Damn it, why do I have to be so attracted to him? This is so confusing. One moment I'm thinking about Niall, the next I'm looking into Luke's eyes. A werewolf mate and a vampire mate. Ugh, fine you can come along, I gave in. He jumped around barking and all. We started walking, waving goodbye to the boys in a wolfish manner as we did. A few minutes passed and we were in silence. Can we walk in human form? I asked. He nodded and shifted into a human and I followed after. I felt a wave of dizziness; the same one that had put me unconscious earlier. This time it wasn't so bad though. Is it coming from being with Luke? I felt perfectly fine with him as a werewolf. I guess my vampire side doesn't really appreciate his werewolf presence. Whatever I was feeling, it wasn't very good.

"Are you ok?" Luke said with a worried expression on his face.

"I'm fine," I lied.

"You know we are mates, and I can tell you're lying. You can trust me. Come on, tell me what's wrong?" God dammit. I sighed and gave in. Again.

"I'm just feeling a little...weak I guess," I said.

"Do you need some rest?" he asked with concern.

"A break would be nice," I said with a smile.

He nodded and we started walking back to the werewolf place. Soon, my legs were gaining off balance and my eyes were drooping slightly. My head was aching and I felt like fainting, but I wasn't. I couldn't. Suddenly, I tripped over my own feet.

"Keri?" Luke said as he caught me. "I think it's best if I carry you. You don't mind, right?"

I shook my head with the strength I had left. He picked me up bridal style and I cuddled into his chest, hearing each beat of his heart as I drifted into unconsciousness yet again.

I just don't know anymore. I can't love Niall nor Luke. I mean, to be honest, we haven't known each other for a long time. All I know is that they are my mates and I can only have one, but I don't feel like choosing. I don't have the strength to pick one side from the other. My vampire side is pulling me towards Niall, but my werewolf is pulling towards Luke. My mother doesn't want me to marry a vampire, but I can't help having feelings towards Niall. Gosh, I feel so sick inside right now. My brain feels likes it's going to explode, like there's a war going on and I'm the host. Pain. Pain in my heart, my mind, my soul. Every corner. But that's the thing about pain. It demands to be felt. I blinked a couple of times before opening my eyes and adjusting to the light.

"Hello love, how are you feeling?" Luke asked placing a astray strand of hair behind my ear.

"Better than everything that has happened I guess," I said trying to smile, but I only managed a small grin.

Close enough. 'If everything is bothering you, change yourself for the greater good,' my self-conscious whispered. Maybe I should. And once I find myself, I'll be able to focus on everything else. Maybe the drama will die down. Sure, life wasn't made to be simple, but it wasn't made to devour the human soul either. This is my chance to make things right. I smiled a average smile. A real smile this time.

Niall's POV

I reached out my hand to grab another bottle, but it was taken away from me before I could. Facing right, I saw a worried/angry looking Zayn, the bottle he stole from me in his hand. Oh great, he got in the room.

"Come on, give it back," I said tiredly.

"I think you and Louis have had enough alcohol for one god damn hour."

"Give it back," I said a bit more harshly, standing up from the couch and taking a chance to steal the bottle back. Zayn dodged it and spoke again.

"I still don't understand why you two are wasting your time being drunkened arseholes. If you are so fucking sorrow over Keri and Eleanor then make a plan and go rescue them," he said frustrated.

I was standing dumbstruck and feeling very, very stupid. Why haven't Louis and I thought of that? God I'm an idiot.

"Were you trying to tell us that the entire time yesterday?" Louis said. I could tell he was feeling dumb too.

"Yes, I was," Zayn replied grumpily. "If you weren't being so stubborn and hadn't blocked the door with all that shit, I would've told you sooner."

"Sorry," Louis said sheepishly.

"Fuck. Shit. Fuck. Shit..." I kept muttering while running a hand through my hair.

"What now Niall?" Louis asked.

"What now?" I said, "What if it's too late now? What if we'll never see Keri again? What if I'll never truly be with my mate? What if Keri loses faith in me -or even worse- loses her interest in me? What if- "

"What if's are dangerous," Zayn stated. Of course he would say that, being the wisest and all. "Just calm down."

"Calm down? How can I calm down knowing someone very special to me is gone? How do you think I feel?" I started ranting, but stopped when I saw Louis looking furious.

"Oh stop being so self-centered Niall!!! You're not the only one who's lost a mate, who's lost someone very special to them, so don't act like you are!!!" Louis yelled at me.

"I'm sorry," I apologized, calming down a bit. I realized I'm not alone in this situation. Louis has someone gone as well, I was just too selfish on being with my mate that I forgot how important Eleanor is to him.

"It's fine," he said.

"Now that that's settled, I have a plan that is bound to work," Zayn said.

~Eleanor's POV~

I woke up to the sound of footsteps. I looked at my surroundings. I was in a cell of a dark chamber. I couldn't see who was coming and that scares me. I tried walking backwards towards the back wall, as far away as possible away from the creepy person, but I ended up tugging on my hand cuffs with caused a clinging sound to echo. The footsteps stopped into a kind of turn and knew it was looking at me. It turned to face me. It noticed me. Dammit. And now I'm scared and worried about what it wants. Most of all I'm scared for Louis, Keri, and everyone I care about.

"Please don't hurt me," I whispered.

"Oh sweetie, that won't be a problem seeing that you're already broken and hurt. All I'm here for is revenge and a revolution. And love is the bait for my success."

A man stepped out of the shadows.

Yes I, julescool, have finally updated. Please vote and comment! I'd love to hear your opinion or view of my story. This chapter is a bit different because now I'm showing more than one point of view. Should I continue doing that? Or should I just leave it in Keri's POV?
