Tessla's Comeback.

We walked through a bunch of turns and bends in this place. Taking a lot of lefts and rights. I was starting to wonder whether or not this guy was actually taking us to Tessla or trying to stall some time until he came up with some plan to get rid of us. It is funny how some little human could think such a thing. Supernaturals are by far stronger and faster than any human dead or alive.

I kept replaying all the fighting scenes in my head. It all went quickly but slowly at the same time. I tried imagining watching Zak fighting in his wolf form. I looked down at him as he pawed his way through the halls next to me.

Is this how my whole life will be like? Always fighting, always running. Why am I even fighting and running in the first place? Why would people be awarded for killing me? Why is it so dangerous for me to be with my Mother? I just don't understand any of this. My life is one complicated mess and I brought Zak into this.

Zak, the guy I have been crushing on for forever. The guy I always dreamt of marrying and kissing and doing a lot of things with. I always imagined myself with him. But him and Tessla always fill my mind everytime I look at him. He isn't the guy I fell in love with. The guy I fell in love with was my imagination. Zak isn't exactly like that, anymore atleast. He might of been at one point, but that point has left us here all alone. I still love him, but I don't know what kind of love is being involved at the moment. Because when I see myself in the future, it isn't just with him.

It is with Fallon, as well. Which absolutely sucks because Fallon betrayed me. He kept what I was to himself. He also had a secret relationship with Tessla. However, he did one thing Zak didn't do. He stayed at my side when I was hurt. He was the one who followed me when I ran and the one who saved me all those times. He was the one to take care of Autumn when she had her innocent mind. Not that she didn't have an innocent mind to start with... she was just more of an innocent child than an innocent teenager.

But when it comes down to it, they both stink because they both have secrets and they both betrayed me with Tessla. Wow, talk about destructive thinking, Silver.

"Where are we going?" I demanded him, trying to distract myself from the feelings I had. I needed to focus on what is a head.

"To Tessla."

"How long is this going to take?" I muttered, wincing at Zaks whimper next to me.

"Not long." He said, stopping infront of a door. The door looked like it had to be opened like a puzzle. There were seven circles that you had to move to make a pattern, or map or some picture that was meant to be made. Then surrounding that, there was bolts surrounding it that you could push into the door or pull it out. "Here." He motioned for us to figure it out.

"Uhhh, do it." I motioned towards the door.

"I can't." His voice sounded mechanically.

"Yes, you can." I looked him in his eyes and tried to push him to do.

"No, I can't." He said harshly. Shit, he is compelled to not being able to do it.

"Fine. But if we figure this out, what happens?"

"You walk through. You get there, then you find Tessla." It was like he was telling a script he memorized.

"Okay...?" Zak said, shifting forms. The guy bowed and turned to leave.

"Where do you think you are going?" I growled. He kept walking as if he didn't hear me. I reached forward and grabbed the nap of his neck. He just kept trying to walk as if nothing phased him. My anger was burning inside me and my nails grew and pierced threw his neck.

He started whistling a tune through his lips in a higher pitch than normal. I started to get tunnel vision that ended my sight of being there and instead, I saw Tessla sitting in her office. "Oh, how you think this will stop him. You must have a lot to learn about me. Find me through this puzzle and you might be able to save your best friend." I looked in the corner and saw Autumn being held at the neck by Fallon. Her back was held against his chest and his eyes looked straight at mine. They were glassed over and I knew he wasn't aware of what was happening. I knew Tessla did something with him. I growled at her and let my fangs snap shut. I lunged at her but hit an invisible wall, knocking me to the ground.
