One shots for what reason? I don't know.

3 | Mysterious mate

A cut on my upper thigh, a few on my lower arms and two on the inside of my right ankle. All these cuts are from different times, held a memory, told a silent story.

The one on my thigh was the first one, it was when I first "lost control" of my emotions when I finally couldn't handle all the bullying from school and my foster parents abusive nature from my ninth foster home at the time. At the time I had only one friend and she left me for the popular group and I couldn't handle the heart break, but it wasn't enough to push me over the edge. The two in the inside of my ankle just above the the bone was when I was in another foster home and there son found a few on my lower arm he made me promise not to do it anymore. Considering he was the only person who cared for me but like all others he left me with a broken heart of losing the closest thing I had to family. Those where all times that I just wanted to get rid of the emotional pain so I turned it into physical pain, but then there is the the cuts on my wrists that happened about three months ago. It is still fresh in my memories like it just happened yesterday. . .

The day started out like any other. I had woken up an hour before anyone as normal to prepare breakfast and then I rushed out the door as I heard the alarm of my foster parents go off. In all honesty they were only nice when Alice come around even though her brother forbid it but she didn't listen. As per usual I went straight to school before most the teachers and sat in the class just staring out of the window till the bell went until the students came in.

The rest of the day went by in a blur with more classes but went lunch came around everything went to shit. I had sat down by myself in my usual spot since Alice had detention for yelling at a teacher when Mike and his girlfriend Tiffany the king and queen of school came up to me and started calling me all sort of names but then Tiffany sad something I will never forget.

"Yeah start crying just like you do in everything. No wonder our parents are dead, they probably killed themselves to get away from you." I don't know what took over my body but I lost all control and yelled at her.

"You have no fucking clue what your talking about, the died saving un great full people like you! And you can talk about me as much as you want but if you ever bring up my parents again I will skin you alive." I saw fear evident in her face before I stormed out of the school and to my house.

There was so much emotion that I just went numb and it was to the point I lost it completely and just wanted to end it welcoming the darkness as an old friend, but as fate would have it Alice found me and called the ambulance. According to her she hadn't been so afraid in her life, apparently when she found me I was on the bathroom floor lying in a pool of my own my blood with my eyes open and emotionless. . .

After that day when I came to school again after a week everyone acted as if that day hadn't happened but Mike and Tiffany stayed clear of any mention of my parents when bullying me, Alice understood me and could read me like an open book.

The class room door burst open snapping me out of my thoughts and the smell of the forest after rainfall and wood engulfed my senses. Slowly looking up my green eyes meet those of electric blue with a ring of gold around the iris, I noticed an image of a black wolf with the same eyes. Breaking eye contact I looked him up and down taking in his wet charcoal black hair slightly over his eyes to his buldging muscles in a tight white V-neck with black skinny jeans, combat boots and a leather jacket slung over his shoulder. Suddenly I realised that this was none other than Alexander Night and my mate. I hadn't noticed that his friends Antonio and Mark was with him completing the whole group of bad boys that where really the popular kids at school that all girls wanted and boys envied.

Thanking god that they didn't know I wasn't human before I looked away from them going back to reading pride and prejudice blocking out everything. I suddenly felt his presence next to me causing me to tense slightly hoping he didn't notice but since I could looking at me I guess not. Refusing to look at him I just continued reading throughout the lesson rushing out of the class leaving the school texting Alice that I needed to let my wings free as she was the only one who knew what I truly was. Quickly as possible I used my enhanced speed and ran to the forest until I was in the middle of it, far from the town and pack house were all the werewolves stay at. As soon as I came to a stop I let my self go.

Black wings sprouted from my back so large they would drag behind me slightly if I walked. A green light emitted from me as my body was engulfed in it with my vibrant red hair floating up in the air like fire and my already green eyes were probably now more vibrant with light green spiraling in them. Slowly droped down from there out spread position and my wavy hair cascaded down my back in the middle of my wings as my eyes went to their original colour while the green light disappeared. Looking down I notice that my outfit has changed to a floor length dress with a slight train at the bottom, it was off the shoulder in a straight line with full length sleeves to match the flow of the dress and it slowly flowed from black to white at the bottom. While admiring the dress I noticed it was backless showing of most of my back so my wings felt more free.

Spreading my wings I take off flying into the clouds feeling stronger than usual but I chose to ignore it as I fly over the clouds enjoying the felling of freedom without worrying about being spotted by a human. I fly across the sky a few hours before noticing that the sky is now orange as the sun is setting as I slowly fly down to where I first landed. As I slowly fly down into the I hear a noise coming not to far away I land on a branch high enough that no one could see me. With my advanced hearing I listen into the conversation noticing the voice of my mate and two others that are most likely his friends.

"I don't know Alex her sent dries out exactly in this spot into the air, and unless she grew wings she wouldn't be able to fly into the air." One of them tries reasoning with him.

"No I know she's here I can feel her." Oh shit.

Quickly I fly to the floor far enough that they can't see me retracting my wings and hiding my powers causing the green in my eyes to fade back into a darker emerald green before picking up the front of my dress and walking quickly. Hearing them walking in my direction I walk a little quicker but come to a stop realizing it's pointless so I just carry on walking in a slow pace dropping my dress watching as it cascades down to the floor as I walk. Suddenly I can feel him behind me but only five steps away.

"Hello Celest." I hear him speak as I slowly turn around to face him in confusion.

"How do you know my name?" I question my voice ever so slightly emotionless as I look any where but at his eyes.

This time he responds seemingly more confident. "Your friend Alice came into the class when you rushed out of the class and left without your stuff saying you had something you were late for."

Thank god for Alice. "Okay then well I have to no before I get in trouble at home." Just I was about to leave he spoke again.

"Why are you so far into the woods and in such a formal dress." I could see the lust swarm in his eyes as he looked over me stopping at the part of my neck he would mark if he accepts me.

"I could ask you the same thing and for the dress I had something important to attend to. Now I really must be going, good bye." I quickly walk off in the direction of the house I am currently staying at not letting them stop me.

My body tense all over as I walk away feeling their gaze on my back slightly afraid knowing that nothing good will come from him being mated to a phoenix. . .

I am most likely going to add more to this but if not don't be surprised. Also like all the others posted so far this has not been edited as I don't have the time and since it's mainly from getting out of "writers block". Thankyou for your time.
