The Dead Mate

Chapter 11

Justin's POV

I quickly opened my eyes but immediately regretted when the sun glared into my eyes. I closed my eyes trying to relax. The sun had hurt my eyes and I had a major headache, relaxation didn't seem to be happening today. I whimpered, my last memory of Nikki will be of her fearing me and my head getting hit by a car door. I opened my eyes slowly. Looking around I noticed I was on Nikki's front porch swing. I wondered if she was ok. If I should go check up on her to make sure she was safe. I could track her down, or maybe I could have one of my pack's professional trackers do that.

Nikki's POV

Derek kept on glancing at me with worry clear in his eyes. Ever since that...dream/vision/memory thing, I haven't been smiling like I used to. Derek has noticed, at first he thought I was homesick but since I quickly agreed with that excuse, I think he knows I'm lying. The other day he said we could go home but since I was afraid to see Kevin and the others that I immediately said that we've already gone so far that it would be ridiculous to go back now. I had another...vision thingy yesterday.

Flashback

Justin kept walking closer to me with Arianna and Stacy watching from behind him. Arianna and Stacy snickered as I pleaded for Justin to leave me alone. He just smirked at me and fastened his pace. "You know, you're a disgrace to the pack, to my pack! I should kick you out of my pack. You deserve to be a rogue. Your family doesn't love you, you have no friends...no one cares about you Nicole. I wish you would die already, maybe then my pack could be stronger. After all a pack is only as strong as our weakest link. You're the weakest, you're the most pathetic wolf I've ever seen." Justin sneered. I felt tears run down my face, falling in between my lips, making me taste the salty liquid. Arianna smiled at my tears and started walking towards me. "You're not even pretty. So not only does no one care for you, you also don't have any good looks. I feel bad for your mate, he'll probably reject you. If he doesn't then I could just imagine the disgust he feels as he takes your virginity. He'll know you're an inexperienced wolf. He'll know that no one even liked you enough to at least try to date you or befriend you. He'll know that no one wants to see your ugly naked body. I'll make sure he knows all of that, if he doesn't already figure that out. Not even the nerds would want you!" She smirked at me once she was done taking, knowing that talking about your mate not wanting you would make your heart crumble into pieces at the thought. Stacy then started to walk over. Now they had me caged in. My back touching the lockers. Arianna blocking any escape to my left, Stacy blocking the path to my right and Justin blocking the path in front of me. "Oh my gosh. Like you have the worst face ever. And like no on wants you here anyways so you should like kill yourself. I know you think I'm being like mean to you but I'm just like telling you that everyone and like probably even you want you dead. Like it'll be much easier for our pack and like you don't have to feel the guilt for like ruining our pack status." Stacy said. 'Like maybe you should just like stop talking and like stop saying like' I thought. Even though she said pretty mean things, I saw the guilt and sadness in her eyes. I saw through her fake personality. That wasn't the only time I saw her fake acting. Suddenly a force pushed my head back, making a loud banging noise as my head connected with the lockers. Out of the corner of my eyes I saw Stacy grimace and flinch a bit every time Justin and Arianna kicked or hit me. "Come on Stace, just punch her!" Arianna pressured Stacy as I laid on the hallway floor. Stacy bent down to my level. She pulled her arm back and quickly brought her fist to my stomach. She made it seem like she punched me hard but at the very last second she slowed down the blow so I barely felt it. I acted like I did though, and Stacy looked at me with pity and gratitude. Pity for how I was treated and gratitude for making her punch look believable so Arainna and Justin didn't hate her.

End of flashback

The visions thingy seemed so real. But I don't think Kevin or Justin would ever do that to me. When they first saw me they were so happy! For gosh sake, Justin kissed me!...Like he knew me before. Like they knew me before, they opened their arms and acted as if I knew them before. They looked at me with caring in their eyes as they talked about Nicole. The same name Justin had called me in the vision thingy. And every time I had vision thingy I always felt like that wasn't even the worst part. Like I'll get a vision thingy a lot worse than an emotional beating or a beating Justin and Arianna gave me. And for done reason during the vision thingy I would somehow know a person's name or think something about them from another time. Each time I had a vision thingy I would feel less happy. I just don't understand why I keep having these vision things. I hate the negative energy I get from the thing and I hate the pain I get in the head before I get a vision thing. I'm a bit glad I won't see Kevin, Sarah, James, and Justin anymore.
