Elemental: The Luna Legend

13. When Past Comes Knocking

I passed out after that.

And woke up in the bed I slept in.

It was still weird to call it my bed. Because it wasn't. My bed had a slight dip in the middle because my butt left a good imprint on it. My bedroom smelt like roses because they were my favourite. When I laid in bed, I could see little glow in the dark stars I had put up on the ceiling.

My bed was a single one because my room was small. I had posters of One Direction. When I looked left, I could see the skies through my tiny window. On the right was a tiny desk that had all my books and right above it was a gigantic frame that had polaroids of me and my friends. A picture frame of my family sat on my bedside cabinet.

I missed my room. This place was nice but it wasn't home.

Liam was right. I held on to my life back on earth because it was important. As the realisation hit me, my eyes started stinging.

Before I knew it, I was sobbing hard and tears started to fall.

I just wanted to have a normal life. I wanted to graduate from high school and become a doctor. Or a teacher. I loved helping people. Whether it was taking care of them or teaching, I knew that it was my calling. Heck, I was happy to be a stay at home mum because they did both of those.

I wanted to get married, have kids and live out the rest of my days like that.

But now...

"It's not fair," I said to myself as memories came flooding of me and my best friends. My sobs grew louder and uglier.

I was just thrust into this world and expected to fit in. To be who I used to be in Alaktasia. To be the princess and the water mage. To be a chosen elemental.

The expectations and responsibilities were too much. I picked up my uniform jacket and searched for my phone.

With all the rush yesterday, I forgot all about it. Which is saying something because I get anxiety when I think I've misplaced it.

I checked it and there was no signal. I roll my eyes as it hits me.

Of course there's no signal. There's no showers here so obviously something as advanced as a cellphone tower would definitely not exist here.

But there's two messages. From our group chat. Must've come through last night as we were leaving.

JBear: u doing ok Kia? Hw did ur rents react to the bruises?

She knew how protective of me they were.

MissE: KiKi, u ok? (10 minutes later)

I wish I could text them back. I am that person that replies instantly. I hate seeing unread notifications.

I put on some music so I could think it over. I pressed shuffle and heard the intro of Stockholm Syndrome by One Direction blare out.

I had to go back. I wanted to say goodbye to them properly. I knew that family was everything to me and that I am needed here. But they were my sisters. Our bonds makes us family. I had to see them one last time. Maybe it will give me the closure I need to finally accept this life.

I needed to go back now!

I didn't tell anyone about my vision in the woods. I hunted down the doe and had it for lunch before heading back to the pack.

I didn't even tell my Beta. After her death, I was devastated. I nearly killed my self a few times. He helped me through it. I shut myself off from the world and wallowed in my sorrows.
