Waiting for my mate...

Chapter 10

Layla's point of view

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

I walked back to my room following Aron. He opened the door and then I saw my best friend.

'KATY!' I yelled and hugged her. She smiled, but it looked so fake. She hugged me as I pushed her to the bed. She was happy to see me, but looked so worried.

'You're thin.' were her first words. I nodded and sat straight up, I heard the door lock.

'You staying, too?' I asked hoping for a yes... She shook her head and was still so quiet. I knew nobody was in. She was here for a reason.

'Why're you here?' I asked a bit frightened.

'Just,... girl talk... thought I would stop by.' she said with the same fake smile. I frowned.

'Girl talk?' I asked.

'How are you and Aron?' she asked. I slicked. I got it chilly.

'Can I tell you something?' I whispered. She was curious and nodded.

'The people in this place are crazy, it is really crazy, you have to believe me.' I whispered. Her eyes got big and she smiled. Real time. She was happy I trusted her.

'It's like,.. Aron... Aron is... vampire.' I said... I had to believe it... Fiction became too damn real. Her smile disappeared. She believed me! I hugged her.

'I'm scared.' I said. She petted me. I wanted to cry, but I knew I shouldn't. So I didn't.

'I know.' She whispered. I looked up. SHE KNEW!?!

'What? HOW LONG?!' I asked. She slicked at my command.

'You're.... different.' she said holding her breath. I looked her deep in her eyes.

'You know about your mom?' she asked. Then it hit me. If everything that Aron said was true, then they killed her... my boyfriend... well ex-boyfriend killed her. I nodded. She nodded in reply.

'Layla, I need to ask you something, before Eric loses his mind and gets killed.' Katy said urgent. I nodded trying to understand the situation.

'What's with Eric?' I asked. Katy's mind was distracted for a minute. I studied her face for a second when I realized something. On the right side of her neck was a scar... a big one... I looked at it and stared at her... The Twilight theorie... She was a vampire.

'Katy...' I said. She noticed where I was looking at. She shook her head.

'No, it's not what you think.' she said. I got off the bed.

'Layla, I'm not a blood sucking vampire.' she said reaching for me. I couldn't believe she was one of them... One of the ones who killed my father.

'What is it then?' I asked trying to be strong.

'It's a bite.' she explained. I nodded and looked away with a sarcasic nod.

'It's not a vampire bite. I'm  marked.' she said. I nodded again... Good for YOU! THAT makes sense! Of course... marked... wait... didn't Aron say something about marking or being marked? Something with werewolves...

'You're a werewolf.' I said. She sighed and nodded. Oh my God... I couldn't believe this was happening.

'Layla just listen to me. I sense Eric's anger.' she said. I nodded and then shook my head.. yeah... no... well... why? what? Eric?

'Layla he is my mate, you have to tell me about every guy you liked so far... you know you think look Hot with capital H.' she said. WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT AT A MOMENT LIKE THIS????
