Changes

Chapter 11- The Search

"Lilly get off the ground!" I heard the laugh in Lauren's voice as she shouted at me. I groaned. I was so tired I felt like I couldn't even walk, so I sprawled myself out on the grass as soon as Lauren said she thought I had enough for the day. I started training around 10am and it was now 4:15pm. Exhausted didn't even begin to describe how I felt.

"You should get up and go find Matt to take you home, you have school tomorrow" Big sister mode much? Coming to think about it though, I haven't seen Matt for the day after he left. I wonder where he went. I sat up immediately after just one thought.

"Do you think I could see where someone is?" I asked Lauren nonchalantly.

She shrugged "You could probably try" well that wasn't a no. I closed my eyes and thought about Matt and within five seconds I saw him sleeping soundly on a bed in a rather huge room. I grinned as I opened my eyes.

"I take it that it worked?" Lauren asked with a smile.

"It did" I beamed at her for some reason.

"Your power is amazing" she complimented longingly. I just laughed as a reply and then saw Stephen coming, obviously to get Lauren. I started to get myself up from the ground.

"So, how was it?" Stephen asked wrapping an arm around his mate

"Oh it was great!" Lauren exclaimed "She's such a fast learner and a good student" She continued gushing. Stephen just chuckled at her enthusiasm and I just smiled.

"I think you should be fine for the week. So how about next Sunday? Maybe we could get you to come to the coven!" Lauren said again enthusiastically. She told me a lot about the coven in our session, it would be fun to visit. After all it's where I'm actually from. Where I belonged, apparently.

"Sounds like fun! I am so in for that!" I exclaimed happily.

"Okay I'll talk to Matt about bringing you. If anything happens during the week don't hesitate to call. Take care of yourself." She said all at once while hugging me goodbye. It didn't feel awkward like first. Now it felt nice. I felt safe. The way you'll feel in a mother's embrace. I guess it's because she's my big sister right? And with all the supernatural stuff going around, bonds are apparently even stronger than a normal human one.

"Byeeee" I waved to them both as they walked to their car. Now I was alone. I needed to find Matt. I knew he was in a room somewhere sleeping, but which room? I was definitely going to cause trouble trying to find him. I sighed and walked to the front entrance. All I knew in this place was the conference room. Oh, I knew there by heart now, the amount of times I was in there.

As I entered the glass doors into the white room I immediately met with a hard surface. Oh fuck where did that come from? I stepped back quickly mumbling a sorry because I didn't think I wanted to piss off a werewolf, then realizing it was Nathan, Matt's older brother. I hadn't seen him in a while.

"OhmyGod Nathan I'm so sorry." I said again after realizing it was him. He looked so far-away though. His eyes wild. He looked like he just got the latest gossip and was quick to run to all his old lady friends at the corner house of the road to spread the news.

"You wanna share the news?" I asked with a chuckle when he didn't even accept my apology.

"Oh! Uh, sorry. You good? I'm kind of in a hurry right now. I'll see you around." He strung his words together so quickly and bolted through the door I didn't think I heard half of what he said. He definitely had the latest gossip, I joked to myself then returning to my situation at hand. Finding Matt. There wasn't even anybody here that I knew.
