After Night

"Are you crazy...."

Picture on the side is of Stark.

My headache was the first thing i felt when i regained consciousness. Then i felt something warm wrapped around me which i could only guess was a blanket. I peeled my eyes open slowly to find that i was in absolute darkness. Something on the back of my right hand felt weird. My chest hurt as i sat up in bed. Suddenly the lights turned on and my eyes landed on the iv on my hand. What had happened? As i tried to remember, everything hit me like a load of bricks. The vampire. He did this to me and.. Cara! Where is Cara?! "Cara! Where are you?!" I yelled worried. I look around to find her but my eyes found brown ones. "Who the hell are you?" I confronted him. "My name is Stark and you should be thanking me for guarding you not yelling at me." He said in a bored tone. Guarding me? Why did he need to guard me. "Where am i?" I asked in a politer voice. I couldn't just judge him, could i? "You're safe." He said simply and was advancing towards the door. "Wait! where is Cara?" I asked with pleading eyes that i learned from her. "Who?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. "My friend, she was with me when that thing attacked." I said and he seem to have zoned out before looking at me a few minutes later. "Follow me." He said and headed to leave the room. I hurriedly got off the bed and took the Iv off. I saw a bandage on the nightstand and put it on.

His pace was fast but strong as he strode towards the only door on the end of the huge hall. He stopped in front of it. I saw his features go tense as he twisted the door knob and opened the door wide. My friend was sitting in a chair with her head between her hands. She looked up and her gaze went from me to Stark and she froze. Stark whispered something i couldn't catch but from the looks of it, Cara understood and she threw herself on him.

Was i missing something here? I coughed awkwardly and stared at them. I cleared my throat a little loud which seemed to have snapped them back to reality. "Oh um, Hi Elle?" She said looking nervous. She looked to Stark with.. was that love? What. "Am i missing something?" I said. Cara looked at me nervously. "This is my Ma-" Before Stark could finish, Cara was kissing him full on. "Are you crazy?" I asked Cara. I felt awkward just standing there so i turned to walk out. They both were busy in their session that they didn't notice me leave.

I wandered around in halls. Man this place was big. I caught the smell of pancakes and i followed it to a very nice and modern kitchen. A woman in her 30's was cooking the good smelling pancakes. I went inside and her head snapped up. She smiled. "Need some pancakes, sweetie?" She asked and i grinned, nodding. Could i say no to pancakes? "I'm Mia, Seth's mom." She told me. Seth. Where did i hear that name? "How old is your son?" I asked her. "25." She answered, making me choke on air and cough violently. She came over and started patting my back and gave me water. I drank it and felt better. "You have a 25 year old son?" I croaked out. She looked too young to have a son of that age. "Yes, didn't Seth tell you? We don't age quick!" She said laughing. What did she mean by that? and who was Seth?

"Mother." A very stern but hot voice spoke, making my body shiver. His mom immediately said a small 'oopsie' before returning to her pancakes. She gave me a plate of them and a bottle of syrup before putting a plate next to mine. "Eat up young man!" She said to her son. I felt a presence next to me but i kept my gaze on my pancakes. If his voice was that hot, how did he look? "Look at me, Elle." My name sounded so great coming from him. It made some sort of fire ignite in me. I slowly turned to him on my stool. I looked up and met with the blue eyes that had captivated mine so much. He had left me after kissing me in that club and now he's here. Why?

"Why did you leave that night? Why am i here now?" I asked, my voice coming out weak and tiny. His mom suddenly disappeared from the kitchen, leaving us alone. "You wont understand." He said. I felt myself get angry. I glared at him which made him wince slightly. "Then make me understand! You don't just kiss a girl without asking and then fucking disappear like a magician!" I yelled at his face. Was this his game or something? "Elle. I had to leave. It was the only way to keep you safe, but i guess you aren't really safe without me around. What were you even thinking? Facing a damn vampire!" He said, anger clear on his features. How did he know it was a vampire? "Why the fuck am i not safe?" I asked getting angry. He sighed and ran a hand through his perfect dark blonde hair. His form looked tired. My eyes drank in his looks. He had a 6 pack, showing through his tight grey shirt. His hair were messy and his face looked handsome. "People want you because you're mine!" He said, slamming his fist on the counter which made a huge dent with small cuts in it. I winced and backed up a little. His eyes softened at my reaction. "I'm sorry." He said. "You don't own me so what do you mean i'm yours?" I said with a strong voice. I want to keep my cool and calm.

"I'm a werewolf and you're my soulmate, Elle." He said, making my whole body freeze.

I was a werewolf's soulmate?
