Jess:

"Hello?" I yell out again. My mind is a vast place is it seems. Filled with memories, and snapshots in time. People I wish I could see again, Places I hope to go, all the places I've been. I have no idea how long I've been trapped in my own mind, but replaying some of my favorite moments over and over again hasn't been too bad.

There's only one place I haven't explored yet. It's a dark spot in my mind. Some foreign place that almost looks empty, yet, pulsing with life. I can't tell what it is, but there's no way I'm lurking around in there.

Save it for another time Jess.

I can tell I'm dreaming, or in some sort of dreamlike state but I can't seem to figure out how to wake up.

Feeling bored and nervous again, I begin to sift through the memories of when I first met Eli.

Seriously? How could a werewolf be so clumsy all the time?

I chuckle to myself. He's really got the most beautiful hair, and eyes. I can't seem to get enough.

Not to mention the sex appeal.

Mind out of the gutter Jess.

Mate.

I let out an exasperated sigh. Ignoring that 'M' word.

How much longer until my body decides to wake up?

I replay my first meeting with Ember. I've truly, never seen a more beautiful creature. He's so gorgeous. His fur so soft. I wonder if I could brush it. Do they need to have their fur maintained? I don't remember reading anything about that in the textbooks.

Is that a weird thing to ask Eli?

Probably.

Mate.

That word seems to pop up in my mind every time I think about Eli or Ember.

Mate. Mate? Really though? Is that why I feel this pull towards him? Why I always miss him so much?

I try to ignore the memories running through my mind of the rogue attack. Feeling what I felt. Hearing all those voices.

I've replayed those memories from the rouge attack numerous times. I can't quite figure out how or why I was able to do what I did. I almost felt as if it wasn't me in charge. I felt as if I was a vessel for someone or something way more powerful than I.

"HELLO!" I scream out again. "CAN YOU HELP ME?! Secret magical being that held all that burning energy inside me!" I try to listen closely for a moment.

I felt a small shiver run down my spine. My whole body went stiff for a moment as I saw a small light flicker in that dark part of my mind.

Oh yeah. Not scary at all.

I sigh. Defeated. What am I supposed to do? Walk into that completely foreign part of my mind and hope for the best?!

I start to feel some small sparks on my knuckles.

Eli!

ELI IS HERE!

I felt it a while ago, on my forehead too. It was quick and then I felt it fade out quickly. I knew he must not be near me anymore.

Mate.

OK OK I get it! I yell back at myself.

"ELI!" I scream out.
