Chapter 24- Proper Introductions

Blinking my eyes several times, i couldn't believe i was seeing her, dad had searched the school record and sent his scouts to search the surrounding area and they had turned up nothing.  I felt like it was a mirage from the locker smacking me, then i remembered the drawing and how dizzy i felt then she disappeared. How am i going to get her to talk with me without making her feel threatened. 

Her light brown hair, porcelain complexion and dark brown eyes made for a fascinating appearance. The blouse she wore ruffled in the salty air breeze and i couldn't help but stare.

When she noticed me staring she smiled at me, here's my chance i thought, so i stood up and moved swiftly around a few bodies to meet at her side. She was facing the fire and watched me the whole time as i  was making my way over, as if she was sizing me up. I'm sure she was in fight or flight mode as i got closer i could hear her fast beating heart and smell her earthy scent.

 "Hello, im Sarah" i held my hand out to her. She scrunched her eyebrows and looked down at my hand, "Hey im Gezara, i guess you remember me huh?" i nodded my head and let my hand fall back to my side when she continued to just stare at me.

 "So, i take it your from the Shadows Pack then?" i tried to initiate the conversation and keep things light even though i wanted to know the most obvious questions of why she had drawn pictures of me and why the hell she almost made me pass out to get away. 

"yes, i am. I um...well im not exactly....i" 

Before she could finish her sentence she was cut off by Raegan "hey Mix-breed, why are you bothering the princess? Go find something to clean or food to serve, you shouldn't be here without it." 

He snarled at her then crossed his arms smirking like he just did the world a service. Gezara bowed her head to him nodded then turned to leave .She walked  a little ways away when i turned to Raegan he took a step back from me.

 I'm sure my eyes were showing rage when i spoke"Raegan 'i'm going to tell you this once so listen good, if you ever talk to someone like that again in front of me again,  i will knock the common sense of decency back into you with so much force that the next four generations of your pups will remember it".

 i turned on my heal and sprinted to catch up to her not caring that i just embarrassed and threatened a prince publicly. I knew our relationship was already strained and he didn't like a she-wolf to be so bold, somehow i could careless. I was not going to hide who i was to impress someone, after all they were supposed to be winning my affections. 

"Hey Gezara wait up!" i called after her as i sprinted to catch up to her. The tears were streaming down her face as she kept her head down and turned away from me. She jumped when i touched her hand " i'm sorry i didn't mean to startle you, i also am sorry that the jerk of a prince said those things to you." 

She sniffled and wiped at her cheeks as she replied "it's fine, im used to that sort of thing around here. I've been called a mix breed since i was old enough to understand words." Her statement had me reeling, i mean i knew people could be bullies but that was just horrible. It also had me wondering what they meant by mix breed. I nodded at her words and she looked out at the ocean, the moon was low almost looking as though it was kissing the waves as they moved. 

"Hey", i spoke softly as i patted her shoulder, "Would you like to come my room and have a girls night? Prince Rogan promised me smores, which hes not here to give, so i can order room service and maybe light the fireplace?"

Her head jerked to look at me and her mouth dropped open. "You want me" as she pointed to herself and i "to come to the palace and eat smores in your room?, Like as in i make them for you or we are friends?" she asked the last part in almost a whisper.
