Chapter 10: Let The Games Begin...

Chapter 10: Let The Games Being...

I need to get to the crystal. And the only way to the crystal is through Harry. I am not on best terms with him right now as I slapped him a few moments ago, but I know he likes me, this mate-pull crap won’t let him stay mad at me for a long time. I don’t even know half things about this mate shit but I do know werewolves are really very horny around their mate. Maybe I can use that as an advantage. I know I will break his heart by doing so, but I have no other choice. I don’t want to die. I need to take this slow. Like really very slow. I can start off with just talking to him and asking him to be friends with me. yeah right, a friend with a knife up their sleeve. My subconscious mind scolds me. I feel guilty for a minute but I push the weird feeling back.

Focus, Jennifer. You need to do this, to hell with Harry and his pack and that shitty crystal. You need to find it, give it to Noah and get the fuck out of here.

Okay, so what should I do first? Friendship. Yes, I’ll apologise and ask him to be my friend. I’ll try to remove as much as information about the crystal as I can. Tiny steps towards success.

I turn around and unlock the door. I see Harry standing there leaning against the wall with his head in his hands. He knows what he did was wrong and I can see he regrets it, not that I care of.

“Hey” I say patting his shoulder. His head shoots up and his eyes land on me. He quickly grabs me by my waist and pulls me into a hug. “I am so sorry!” he says squeezing me tight in his arms. It’s not uncomfortable kind of tight, it’s kind of calming and comforting. I take in his scent, he smells like coco powder if that makes sense.

“Um, Harry, you’re chocking me.” I lie. I just could stand here all day in his arms. I mean, I’d love to but I need to focus on winning this, it’s either the crystal or death.

Wow, this sound like The Hunger Games to me, I am just waiting for President Snow to come out from somewhere and say ‘Let the 74th annual Hunger Games begin! May the odd be ever in your favour.’

“Oh, sorry. Again, I mean, sorry for the thing that happened with Alec and um, for trying to choke you. Uh, I didn’t mean to though. I mean, I wanted to know if you really dating Noah because, I am kind of possessive but I knew you were lying and you wouldn’t tell the truth and you know you just walked off so I got pissed. I mean, uh, I’m sorry? Uh, for everything I guess..” he starts blabbling and doesn’t stop.

“Harry, I get it. I know you’re sorry. I’m sorry too, I shouldn’t have lied.” I say and laugh at his shocked expression.

“Oh, so we’re cool right?” he says with a grin.

“Yeah, we are.” I say and hold out my hand for him to shake. He grabs it and shakes it flashing a wide smile.  “So, we’re friends now?” I say and he nods enthusiastically. “That’s great.” I mumble.

“So, now that we’re friends, don’t you think we should get to know each other better?” he asks arching an eyebrow at me, smirking.

“Sure.” I say he leads me into the bedroom. Ugh. This ‘friendship’ is annoying me and it has just started. I will have to stick to his ass if I want to get a hold of that crystal. What did I ever do to deserve this!?

“Tell me something about you... you know like what do you look for in a boy? Like, what’s your type? How do you imagine a perfect date to be.... etc.” He asks taking a seat on the bed. I arch an eyebrow at him, “Getting a little personal, are we?”

“Maybe.” He shrugs, “Come on, we’re friends now, remember?” he says wiggling his eyebrows. I chuckle at him. He looks super cute doing that. Wait what? I shake all the disturbing thoughts from my mind and answer him, “ I don’t exactly look for anything in a boy, because I have never thought about dating one, so I guess, he should have a caring nature? I don’t really think I have a type. I don’t know anything about dates so I don’t really know, maybe star watching? I don’t know.” I answer all his questions. “My turn.” I say and sit up straight to bombard him with his questions.

“So, I have many questions, be ready.” I say and we both chuckle. “Okay.” He says biting his bottom lip.

“Okay, so what happens to a werewolf if his/her mate goes away from him? or dies?” I ask wanting to know the consequences that will take place after I leave this hell of a place.

He looks at me for a moment then clears his throat. “Um, if the mate leaves, the werewolf become sad or depressed at times and uh, if the mate dies, the other half dies in a few days.” Oh. So he is not going to die after I leave. Cool.

“Uh, so how are the RedWoods alive? I mean mostly all of their mates are dead!”

“That’s because they don’t mark their mates. Once a werewolf marks his mate they become two bodies, one soul. None of the RedWoods have ever marked their mates which is very bad. Marking is a sort of way to say that the female mate is taken, just like, uh, a wedding ring? Yeah, like that.”

“Oh, okay. So, uh, if I die, you will just be sad? You know because you have not marked me.” I say and Harry jumps up from where he was sitting and grabs me by my shoulders. “I will never let anything happen to you! Never.” He growls and his eyes go red. Shit, his eyes are red!

“H-Harry! Your e-eyes!” I say trying to push him back. He quickly closes his eyes and takes deep breaths. What was that? I have never seen red eyes. This is so creepy! Oh god!

“Uh, sorry.” He says and removes his hands from my shoulders. “I just. Shit.” He cruses under his breath.

“It’s, uh, okay? I guess?” I tell him and we sit down again.

“Okay, my turn” he says smiling weakly. “Do you, uh, do you think we could be together in the future?”

“Uh, I really don’t think so Harry, but, you never know.. maybe.” I say hesitantly. I know I am lying to him, because I can never like him and even if I do, I will never let myself fall for him.

“Okay.” He sighs. “I think I should go, you need rest.” He says and walks away. When he reaches the door he turns around and gives me a smile, “I will make you like me.” and then he leaves. Damn it! I need to speed this up a bit. I need to get to the crystal as soon as possible. I need to get out from here before I fall for him for real.
