Chapter 27

Mitch woke up in a cold sweat, his breaths comming raggedly, he blinked a few times, still seeing the after image of Milissa's bloody neck and after effect. He just sat there collecting himself and as he did he studied his surroundings.

Still in Rebeca's mansion, in the guest room he has had for the last few days, he thought of his parents. Wondering how they were? When they would call him? Were they going to call or had they abandoned him? Disgusted with him, of what he had become?

Mitch saw himself in the bathroom mirror, he didn't even register getting up and walking to the bathroom that ajoined his room. He couldn't blame them really... His skin that corpse-pale and his eyes a bright emerald green, a far cry from the dark green he was born with. He must have looked like a freak to a normal person... and maybe not even their son to his parents...

A freak... that seemed weird to even think it, but it was an adapt word enough. Mitch clenched his teeth and his fist, knuckles popping and turning even whiter than his already pasty coloring Your not a freak. Mitch heard in his ear and he nearly jumped out of his skin in surprise. It had been awhile since anyone could sneak up on him. Mitch looked around but couldn't see anyone.
You are just changed Mitch looked back to the mirror and finally recognized the voice. It was his own.
You are strong, tough and smart. You are an alpha predator, do you know what that means? Mitch did of course.
An alpha predator hunts other predators, even other alphas. You might not accept it yet but you will see. Mitch unclenched his fist and teeth. He had thought about smashing the mirror with his hand. But the voice convinced him not to, in it's own way.

A knock came from Mitch's door and he walked over and opened it to Rebeca standing there in her PJs looking lovely as ever but with a concerned look on her pretty face.
"Are you ok Mitch?" She asked, her sing-song voice making Mitch smile. He took a long pause and steped out of the way as an invintation to enter and she did. Mitch closed the door softly and turned to Rebeca who took a seat at the edge of Mitch's bed.
"Am I a freak?" He asked her. She frowned, got up and gave him a big hug.
"Of course not. You look different but you are still the person I fell in love with 3 years ago." She said looking up at him. Mitch smiled remembering the first time they had met, before all this crazyness had started.
"Do you remember when we first met?" Mitch asked her, still hugging Rebeca and pulled away a little and looked down at her. She wrinkled her nose in distaste.
"Yes... I don't know what I saw in him..." She trailed.

She was talking about Johnny, her ex, well... Are they still an ex if you were only with them for a couple weeks? Mitch remembered vividly the day he met Rebeca. Mitch was a new student to school, his parents moving in from the middle of nowhere to New Falls.

It was Mitch's fist day at school but school had been in session for two weeks and he was in the commons right after school had ended, studying. The other students were going to the parking lot and loading circle where the buses picked up the kids who didn't have a ride from parents or their own cars. Mitch had his own car and was going to stay at school for an hour or so every day until he caught up, and was studying intently, when suddenly his book slammed shut in the middle of his reading, when Mitch looked up he saw a skinny, long brown haired student in a brown coat and blue jeans.
"Can I help you Johnny?" Mitch asked, eyes narrowed in suspicion. Mitch had known Johnny from a couple classes they had together. He was kinda a frige kind of person. Not a loner but definately not one of the crowd. He also had a reputation as a trouble maker and hothead.
"Yeah, sure. You can give me a good run for my money," He said, popping his knuckle, looking down at Mitch. Who raised his eyebrows.
"You want me to fight you? Are you stupid, in school...?" Before Mitch could continue Johnny grabed him by the collar of his shirt and pulled Mitch out of his chair and tried to toss Mitch to the floor but Mitch kept his footing.
"I'll show you who's stupid!" Johnny yelled running at Mitch.

Mitch's heart was pounding as Johnny came at him and slammed his fist into Mitch's face and sent him sprawling to the floor, Johnny made to kick Mitch but he grabbed Johnny's leg and forced him off balanced and pushed johnny to the floor and they both scrambled to stand, both making it to their feet at roughly the same time.

A small group of students gathered in a circle around Mitch and Johnny's fight, they were cheering and jeering which seemed to embolden Johnny who came at Mitch again but this time, Mitch ducked under Johnny's fist and rammed his own into Johnny's stomach who doubled over and threw himself at Mitch. Tackling him and they both wrestled on the ground for a few seconds until a group of teachers and the security guard came by, broke up the crowd and Mitch and Johnny's fight, as they both were marched to the office. A woman with light brown hair, streight and down, same age as Mitch and Johnny, about 5 ft 4 inches tall in a green shirt and blue jeans. She walked up to Johnny and slapped him across the face.
"We are done." And she walked away.

The next day Mitch was in the commons continued to study when he felt someone approach his table. It was the woman who had slapped johnny after our fight. She walked up to Mitch with her backpack.
"I'm really sorry for what Johnny started yesterday. I think he wanted to try and impress me by starting a fight and beating you up. Again, I'm sorry for his idocy." She was pretty and she wasn't even trying, which not many girls could pull off. She was wearing a purple shirt with a black jacket and blue jeans.
"Thank you," Mitch said, not sure what else to say.
"Um... your new right? Lots of catch up work to do?" She asked uncertian.
"Yeah, why?"
"Would it be ok if we studied together? I could use the help, I was thinking you might also like some help and maybe some company?"
"Sure," Mitch said smiling.
"What's your name?" Mitch asked as the woman took a seat.
"Rebeca Bruno. Your's?"
"Mitch Teir,"

After two weeks they caught on fire and Mitch asked Rebeca out. She agreed.

"Yeah... I don't know what you saw in him either," Mitch said, smiling at Rebeca. Who was also smiling, her dimples showing. She had chamged a great deal since they first got together. She still had light brown hair, she didn't like dying it, but it was in a short pixie cut. She had also aged slightly but she it made her even prettier.
