The Queen of the Rouges

Chapter 5 Welcome To The Family (Re-written)

****Analyia's P.O.V.****

     I was happy, I guess, to know that my life wasn't as dysfunctional as I believed it to be. But all in all, the information that I had learned about the Dark family was a lot to take in at once and actually comprehend. I turned my head towards Jeremy and he gave me the wry grin that I was beginning to expect from him. I wonder how much he can really hear going through my head. Jeremy looked at me once more and laughed. Bianca seemed to come out of her trance at the sound of Jeremy's laughter and Darren's surprised look was back, I guess that Jeremy hadn't laughed in quite some time.

     "I can't hear everything from everyone. It's just that sometimes people project some thoughts especially loud and so mostly, I can only hear thoughts that you truly wanted to speak but didn't, which is why they are projected louder than others." Jeremy explained. I smiled at him, a part of Darren's story was that Jeremy didn't share much information about his gifts and I was almost proud to be one of the few people who knew of them. Bianca pulled me out of my thoughts of Jeremy when she suddenly began running and giggling.

     I turned towards Darren confused on the sudden change in her mannerisms, I don't enjoy being confused. "Darren why is Bianca in some sort trance one minute then suddenly fine the next?" I questioned, interested in knowing more. I couldn't even begin to comprehend the drastic changes, it was as if a switch was being shut on and off in her mind.

     "Well my new-found friend, that's something I'm not completely sure of yet, I have ideas and Jeremy knows but any time I ask him he just shakes his head and says I'll know when the time is right what ever that means."Darren answered, shrugging his shoulders near the end of his statement. I frowned and looked at Jeremy, he seemed to know a whole lot about everything and it appeared so far that he didn't care to share much. Despite this, the fact that he shared anything with me was confusing in its self.

     Darren stood up and stretched, "You know Analyia you still haven't told us why you're here alone in this cabin." he said as Jeremy and I got up and did the same. We had been sitting on the floor for longer than I had thought.  I stared at my feet, tears welling up in my eyes as I thought of my family, the Bloodmoon Pack and most of all...Austin. I willed the tears back and glanced up at the Dark brothers attempting some kind of response but the look on Jeremy's face said it all.

     He knew what a terrible person and wolf I was, what a waste of space like me gets from people like them, especially in the Bloodmoon pack, which was well known for its strength. Jeremy grabbed Darren's arm and ran out of the cabin leaving me with an energetic Bianca. I'm sure he had plans to fill Darren in on all that he had learned about me but I couldn't  be bothered to care, after all that I had been through. I don't know what it was about these three siblings, but I actually think I found some people who could possibly learn to tolerate a monster like me. I guess  in a way I was glad that they knew what had occurred in my past and happened to me recently so I didn't have to ever tell them myself.  Although, despite my content feeling regarding this fact, I was sure that I wanted to take steps to learn about not projecting my thoughts.

    The boys quickly ran back into the cabin and Darren scooped Bianca up into his arms, she frowned at first but then sighed and rested her head against her oldest brother and nuzzled into his neck. I could still remember the times when Johnny and I interacted like that, and even now, I can genuinely say that I missed it. Darren glanced at Jeremy who nodded before he began speaking, "Analyia we wanted to invite you to be a part of our family, we may be rouges as of now but we always stick together and take care of one another no matter what. We would truly love for you to stay with us." Darren said semi-nervously, his hands fidgeting.

     It was a moment of utter bliss for me though. Someone had taken the time to not only address me by my name but actually wanted me for something that didn't necessarily benefit them. I just nodded in amazement, way to shocked to be able to speak or effectively communicate my thoughts or feelings. They both smiled at me and grabbed me into a group hug, Bianca snoring lightly in the comfort of Darren's arms. "Welcome to the family Analyia Dark!" Darren and Jeremy chorused together in a sing-songy tone. I shook my head with a small smile, I actually had a family that wanted me.

     "Okay first order of family business is getting out of this cabin and finding somewhere else to stay. Any suggestions team?" Darren said looking at Jeremy and I. I just shrugged and Jeremy shook his head with a smile on his face. "Guys, I got it! We're headed to California for awhile." Jeremy said. I frowned we were currently in upstate New York and going across the country to a place I've never been was quite scary, not to mention dangerous as we had no idea what was happening with the packs in that area. Darren, didn't seem to share my fear however as he smirked and nodded at his little brother. "Okay then it's settled. Off we go!" Darren said ushering the two of us out of the door, Bianca in his arms all the while. I turned back to the cabin once more, reminiscing on my old "family".

       I turned to follow the boys, when out of thin air, another boy appeared in front of me, it was once again ,the boy from the library. "Everything is going according to fate Lia." he whispered and then vanished. Rolling my eyes at the unknown and seemingly impossible circumstances that surrounded the boy, I ran to catch up with the rest of the Dark Family, shaking my head I could only hope that I wasn't going crazy.

****Meanwhile Unknown's P.O.V.****

I watched the Kasper boy and his newly chosen "mate"  cuddle in their sinful bed, actively ignoring the will of the Moon Goddess. The boy believed that his plan for capturing the other Vanderbuilt girl was all his own. I just chuckled to myself.  Austin Kasper was just another pawn in my brilliant chess game of life. He would soon learn, whether he liked it or not, that sometimes pawns have to be sacrificed.
