Succumbing To The Darkness Within (Previously The Gift)

Chapter 12

~Mara's P.O.V~

The doctor told me I could leave and I should take it easy. He said what ever happened took a lot out of me.

So now I'm in Dylan's car going to his house. I am bored so I take out my phone and headsets. I turned down the volume, so it does cause an headache and drift off into a peaceful nap.

~*~*~*~

I woke up from my nap, I got out the car and enter the house.

"Riley?"

"Hey my twin is back!" She squeals and traps me in a tight hug. I was shocked at first, but I hugged her back.

"What's with the nickname?" I pull away from the hug and raise an eyebrow.

"It what Jason calls you so I'm just rolling with it."

"Where is Jason?" Chloe asks from behind me.

"He had Alpha work to do, but he sent you his best wishes and apologizes for not being here himself." She directs the last part to me.

"Oh okay, I'm going upstairs. I'm so tired." I yawn.

"Okay scream if you need any thing." Chloe says while I'm going upstairs.

"Oh ha ha! Very funny, I almost forgot to laugh." I say finally reaching my door, I'm pretty sure she heard. I enter and hop right into bed. I wasn't joking when I say I'm sleepy. Let's just hope this time I'm not woken up by growling. I'm too exhausted.

My eyes begin to feel and I let the darkness take me over.

~1 hour later~

I felt the sides of my bed sink down, as people came on it and I know exactly who they were.

"You guys couldn't just let me sleep in peace?"

"Aww you know you love us." I hear from Chloe who is on my left.

"Plus you looked so peaceful we couldn't resist." Dylan says from my right. Chloe wraps her arms around me and sighs. I open my eyes to see Dylan looking at the ceiling.

Before long the both of them fall asleep and I wrapped my arms around Dylan and snuggle into his back. With Chloe's arms around me I fall into a deep sleep.

~*~*~*~

I looked at the clock and saw it 4:30a.m. What's the point of going back to sleep. I unwrap my arms from around Dylan and did the same with Chloe's. I did that slowly so I don't wake them.

I come out of bed and head downstairs. I ran my fingers through my hair in a attempt to straighten it. While doing so I enter the kitchen and almost had an heart attack! I didn't expect anyone to be up yet, Robin was lucky that I realized it was him because he was about to get a beat down.

"Robin you scared me." I said holding my heart dramatically.

"Oh I'm sorry." He mumbles looking at me.

"So why are you up so early?" I ask.

"Guess Chloe's rubbing off on me." He shrugged.

I walk pass him and took down a box of Lucky Charms. Best cereal ever! I take out the milk out of the fridge and take a bowl and a spoon.

I slide into the seat beside Robin but he was just staring at me and it was creeping me out. I make my cereal and he was still staring at me like I grew another head.

I groan and slam my fist on the counter.

"What is it? Your staring at me like I'm an alien." I ask getting frustrated. I don't like when people stare at me.
