Forever My Savior

Chapter Eight: Zombie Walking

Flashback

--------------

'What's the new information, Jazlynn?' Kaden's voice asked me, as I lay, not moving, against the tree.

"I have found my mate." I replied shortly, not bothering to move, or look at them.

I faintly heard bones popping back into place, and I knew they were shifting. After the rustle of clothes were done, they came towards me, and I felt each one of them sit by my legs. Keeping touch as if I was going to fade away.

"Who's your mate?" Leo's soft voice carried to me in the wind, and he leaned beside me on the tree.

"You." I sighed, and I heard six gasps, following with a stopping of breath.

After a few seconds I realized that it was Leo who wasn't beathing. I sighed.

"Breath, Leo. I won't have a mate anymore

if you kill yourself." I whispered, reassuringly.

"We're mates? How in God's creation am I your mate?" Leo yelled, and without looking at him I knew he was throwing around his hands.

Suddenly a cold hand gripped my heart, and ripped it out.

I was rejected...

By my mate...

I was just rejected by my mate...

Tears started flowing, and soon sobs were racking my body like they were earlier. I put my head in my hands, and I heard everyone gasp as they realized what Leo just did.

"LEONARDO RYKER KNIGHT!!!!!! YOU JUST REJECTED HER!!! YOU'RE KILLING YOUR MATE!!" Parker screamed at him, coming to comfort me.

I didn't like the fact that someone else besides my mate was comforting me, so I pushed him away. I guess he knew what I was thinking because he didn't get offended.

I could smell his dispair, his confusion.

I could sense him beside me, craving to comfort me.

'Jazlynn, my baby, you're okay. You're gonna be okay. Calm down. If you don't your powers will be out of your control.' Tanaya gently cooed.

'What about you, Tanaya? You lost your mate, too. Are you going to be okay?' I asked concerned about her, and my control on my powers

'In time. It's my job to protect you like your my own. I consider you my daughter, and I'm more concerned about you than myself.' She selflessly replied. It made me smile, thinking that somebody loved me.

After about five minutes I was slowing down my tears, avoiding everyone's touch, even Leo's.

I was hurt. I didn't want the person who hurt me to touch me.

Once I was done crying, I still had my head on my knees, with my arms around them.

'Tanaya? Change me.' I quietly demanded, and she obliged.

Once second, I was human...

The next, I was an angel...

Even though they had seen it before, they still gasped at the sight of me. I slowly lifted my head, finding Leo right beside me, with tears flowing down his face. I shook my head, and got up, careful to have my wings against my back. They stood up, too, but I told them not to follow me.

I got in a space big enough for my wings, and spread them. I took one look behind me, memorizing all their faces, especially Leo's. I sighed, turned around, and closed my eyes to ease the pain.

I was leaving, and until I have to, I wasn't coming back...

I wouldn't see their faces every morning at school, and they wouldn't light up my day amymore...

But they would always be my boys. 

"Goodbye." I muttered, taking flight, heading to my pack house.

I looked down at their faces, tears were falling, as they watched me leave, and heard my goodbye.

I would miss them, but I have to do it...

I have to disappear...

-----------------

Two weeks later...

It's been two weeks since that horrid day, and I've been better. The gang, meaning Damon, Kelsey, and Lj, have been peppering me with questions about what happened

What happened to you?

Why are you crying?

Where's Kota?

Are you okay?

There all the same questions, everyday.

I ignore them, and walk away most of the time, but lately I've just been breaking down and crying. I can't stand the fact my mate is a mile away, and I can't go to him.

Because he rejected me...

I've showered, and brushed my hair, but that's the only thing I've really done. I mean I've brushed my teeth, but I haven't really been doing anything. I just lounge around the house, not leaving, not talking, and definitely not training.

I probably should though...

I still need to protect my pack...

No. It's not my pack. It's his pack...

"Jazy? Are you there? Hello?" Damon's voice startled me out of my thoughts, and I ended up on the floor. I looked at the couch, which has been my home for these weeks, then to Damon. He was laughing at me, but he stopped immediately when he saw the look on my face. I glared at him, and he visibly gulped, backing up slowly.

"Rule Number One in Protecting; never show any fear.

Rule Number Two; never back down from your opponent." I quietly commanded, standing up in a fighting position.

"I know. But I had to do something to make you talk again. I mean listen to your voice, it all hoarse, because you haven't talked in two weeks. You look like a zombie walking around, and you haven't even told us why." He quietly responded, averting his eyes to the ground. I stood still, gaping at him, when I realized he was right. I haven't told them what happened, all I told them was to stay away from the boys.

I sighed, and dropped down on my couch, wrapping myself up in my blanket. I turned around so my back was to the room, and closed my eyes.

"When the others get home, wake me up, and I'll tell you what happened. But you do not call them right now for them to come home." I used my alpha voice, to make sure he doesn't do it.

"Yes, ma'am." He replied quietly, probably doing a mock salute too.

I shook my head, and relaxed.

Soon, I was fast asleep.

What's up??

The sky. Gas prices.

Shut up. You know what I mean.

Sorry. I just had an argument with myself...

I didn't want to end the chapter here, but I had to. The ninth chapter is almost done. I promise.
