The Fae's Chance

Chapter 16

Tomas POV ♤

It took me 20 minutes of saying "please" to get the soup. It wasn't even that good of soup, it was canned soup. Clam chowder is NEVER good from a can.

Both of my mates looked very pleased with themselves. Mike's hair even turned blonde from his carefree success. It was something I had never seen before. So many things change about them everyday, from their hair to the way they act around me. They are like mirrors.

"The soup t-tastes like dirt."  I told Axel while Michael was trying to spoon feed me.  I was still sitting in his lap, sulking.

"It was cold."  Axel shrugged it off, like it wasn't his fault it was cold.

"You sh-sh-should have given it to me sooner."  I grumbled thinking about all the time I wasted saying please.

Axel looked like he was about to argue with me about it when Mike cut in.  "Axel we have to go soon."

Nodding, Axel took my bowl and left the room. Mike gave me a quick kiss on the head and followed after, like a duckling going for it's mother.

Since they were gone I decided to head to my favorite place.

It took me 10 minutes to get there, but soon I was sitting on the porch. I looked around the yard that had been my home for the past 3 months. The trees look dead from the winter season. Their long limbs reaching up into cloudy sky. I hope it doesn't snow again, Mike and Axel will force me to go inside, again.

If I must go inside I should probably try and meet some people. In the three months I've been here I haven't even tried to talk to the other residents. Just yesterday I found out that there are other humans living here, and I've been pondering if I should try and talk to them or not.

Perhaps I will.

Wandering  through the twisting hallways I searched for my mates. They could be literally  anywhere, I have never had to search them out before. Most of my time is spent ignoring them, so how do I find them?

Scratching my head I continued walking. The hallways were painted a soft tan, with dark purple, almost balck, carpet. There was a door every 20 feet, and then turn every 60. 

Stupid mansion.

I decided to head back to my room, since they always end up there anyway. Why is it that the one time I actually need them, they are nowhere to be found? Assholes.

When I got back to my room I decided to read. I had to steal a book from Mike when he dragged me into his room. It was '20,000 leagues under the sea', and even though I've read it like 5 times I still love it. It's probably been my favorite book since 6th grade.

Now all I have to do is play the waiting game.

Michael's POV ◇

"We need to take attraction, they ar-"

God, meetings are boring. At this point I would rather stab my eyes out then hear about the hunters. It's been the same thing for a year. 'Their going to kill us', 'Their getting stronger, 'I'm afraid' It's just a never ending cycle of fear and worry.

At this point I would be a lot more worried if the  hunters started planting flowers for all the Fae they killed.

I looked around the announcement room. It was set up like an auditorium, except the stage could only fit like 5 people at a time before it got cramped. The seats were designex with red leather, with mahogany would backs that had carving of branches in them. In all the room had one hundred seats, ten seats across.

I wonder what Tommy is doing right now?

Knowing him he's probably sitting outside. No matter how often Axel and I warn him about getting a cold if he sits out their too long, he just ignores us. Personally I think it's his way of rebelling.

He always looks so cute with his fluffy black hair that is styled to the side, and his big brown eyes. I wish I knew how to make those  eyes smile at me more. All he ever does is glare.

I turned my attention back at the meeting. People's appearances were flickering violently, all the colors of the rainbow. It was funny to watch the slim turn into bodybuilders, and tall turn short.

At least they aren't throwing fiery  hot knives like last time.

I wonder when I'll get to show my true self to my mate? No, if I start thinking about it then I'll want to do it. 

I look over to Axel, who looks just as bored as I am. My competitor who will probably take Tommy from me the first chance he gets. I won't let him, I'll sell him to the hunters if I have too.

I'd betray everything I've ever known for my Tommy.

Tomas POV ♤

After a bajillion hours of waiting I finally heard a knock on my door. I'm so excited I skip to greet my guest. 

I SKIPPED! For my Guest! This mate thing is messing with my head.

At the door stood Axel with his arms crossed sassily. He was dressed in a white t-shirt and very small jeans. I hate to say it but he looked hot, like normal. 

He looked at me and chuckled. Then pulled me into a warm but somewhat awkward hug. Well, it was awkward for me. 

"What's got you in such a good mood?" He asked.

"I've been w-waiting for you for like a m-million hours." I whine.

"Well this is a first. Why were you waiting for me?" He moved his head so he could look me in the eyes. I have never seen him this happy. Time to ruin it.

"Cause I'm s-s-sick of talking with idiots, and want to be in-introduced to people." I said innocently. "You can get double points in my book if you let me see my p-parents."

"I would love to introduce you to my friends." He completely ignored my comment about my parents. His smile widened more than  I thought possible. It looked painful.

"That's not w-what I mea-"

"I've been waiting to show you off for a long time. You'll meet them at dinner. This is so exciting." He cut me off with his girly ramblings. It was kinda cute, in an annoying sort of way.

I've been spending way too much time with them.

"Whatever you say." I wanted to meet the other  humans stuck here, not his Faerie friends.

He kissed my forehead and left me again. I wonder if building the wall against their advances  was the best choice. They literally leave me alone of 89% of the day.

Perhaps I should lower the wall just a tad bit. Then I wouldn't be so lonely. I don't even talk to them when they are here. 

I miss Grace and my parents. The people who've taken care of me for 7 years. What I want more than  anything is to see them again. For my life to go back to normal.

It won't. I know it won't. I'll be stuck here, and forced to choose which of my mates I want the most. I don't want either of them, but someday I'm going to have to choose.

I waited on my bed for the next few hours, waiting for dinner.  Waiting for the knock that would tell me to go socialize again. Maybe I would meet people then.
