Buried trust

Chapter 21

(Songs; I made a playlist, It is called Buried Trust playlist.)

I sit in Niall's car and say nothing about what just happened. I'm still processing everything. Apparently is Jenny some kind of royalty in her pack. She is only eighteen and alpha to her pack. I doubt whether I would tell Luke. I trust him but maybe it isn't so good if they know about her alpha status. "You're awful quiet after the talk with the werewolves." Niall begins the conversation I hoped to never have. "Yeah," I respond. "Maddie, what did they do?" "Nothing, well. Okay, I learned something today." "That you shouldn't trust werewolves." Niall laughs. "No that's not it. I trust Jenny. She told me about everything. You guys didn't." "Oh, I'm sorry we tried to protect our friends." "Well, almost every one of our friend group is supernatural." "Well, we are the strongest and the oldest." "I don't care about that." "Well, you should." I turn my head to the side and ignore Niall his comment. "Guess you will never know what I found out today." Niall doesn't respond.

We are back at the cabin and I walk inside and search for Luke. He is not downstairs or upstairs. I open a door and find a stash of weapons. Silver but also wood. The door slams closed before I can step inside. "You're not supposed to see that." Niall walks away but locks the door first. Why is he such a dickhead? "By the way, he is by the lake," Niall says. It is warm outside so I change my jeans for some shorts and then walk downstairs. I see Luke sitting at the side of the lake. I walk to him and put my hands on his shoulders. He grabs my hands. He keeps staring at the lake. "What are you doing?" I decided to ask him. "Just reliving the moments when I was human. Here together with our family." I sit next to him on the grass with my feet in the lake. "I think I would have liked you when you were human. I would have loved to meet your parents." "And they would have loved you." I smile. "You know that Niall and I went to his funeral but with another name. They would have recognized us." "That's harsh. You couldn't even speak at your dad's funeral." "It's okay. Niall and I went to college and at that moment we said goodbye. We left him with a bunch of money so he lived a great life further." I hug him and stare at the lake.

"So, are you two lovebirds done?" Niall walks towards us with a grim on his face. "In the car, our lovely traitor told me she learned something." I glare at Niall. "I'm not going to tell you anything. You are saying I'm a traitor, well I'm going to act like one." I say. "To please do tell us. I will not say anything about you being a traitor." Niall sarcasm is too obvious. "Well, I learned that Jenny is the alpha of the pack, and I made sure they are letting you live." "Wait some eighteen-year-old girl is the alpha of the Maryville pack?" Luke asks and looks at me. "Yes, she said something about royalty." "No way she is a Lamia." "What is Lamia?" "Lamia is the main family of the Maryville pack. The Lamia pack was the first name but many other wolves joined so they changed the name." "You didn't know her last name was Lamia?" "We didn't, but let me guess you did?" Niall again talks ver sarcastic. I nod and stand up. "Can anyone tell me why Lamia is so important then?" "Well, the Lamia's were known for there revenge on vampires. They killed every last of them in Maryville and then left and lived in the forest for a long time." "But now their back and we have to be careful because Maddie here told her about us." Niall interrupts and walks away. "Luke you have to believe me. She said you are protecting me so they aren't going to hurt you guys." "I believe you, but when they do we are going away for our safety." I nod and look at my phone. Alex sent me a message.

'Hey, Mads I know you're sick but Natalie is back and maybe we can grab a drink?'

Natalie. I still have to talk to her. I can't do that when Alex is around. I send Natalie a text. 'Nat, can we talk. Without Alex. I want to talk about you and me.' Natalie responds fast. 'Of course. I was waiting for your text. Let's have that drink with Alex later.' I'm glad that I can finally talk with Natalie about this. I send Alex back that I have something to do but maybe tomorrow. Natalie sends me an address and says I can't bring Luke or Niall. I recognize the address. It is By her grandmother. I grab some car keys and walk to the car. I hope no one saw me leave. I left a note saying I took the car and that I'm back before the evening. I'm glad my dad gave me til Friday to search for Olivia. We already found her but I needed to talk to many people before I went home. I drive to the address and see an old home. It is not big but also not small. In front is a big garden with a lot of plants. I park the car and walk to the front door. Natalie opens the door and hugs me. "Mads I haven't seen you in a while. Glad to see you." I smile and walk inside with her.

In the living room is a big round table with some white lines drawn on it. "Well take place, we have a lot to talk about." I grab a chair and sit. In the house, a lot of gemstones are laying on shelves. Also, a lot of herbs and other stuff are laying everywhere. I can't but notice a big pot outside. Just like fairytales. "Yeah don't mind that I was working on a potion. Tell me why you wanted to talk?" "Well, I wanted to talk about you and your witchcraft. You seem quite open about it." Natalie laughs. "Not to everyone. You are special. You know what you are right?" "Yeah I just found out four days ago but I know." "I wish they told you earlier. But I can explain what I am." "Please do, I am still trying to understand everything." "Okay well, as you know I'm a witch. I help those who are in need. Especially humans. Just like you." "I don't know much about myself but I read that." "Yeah well. My powers are channeled by gemstones. I can get more powers out of them. I can use my magic without the sone but with them, I have more power." "Is that why you have a gem in your necklace?" "Yes, and also every coven has its own stone. There are some with the same but most of them have a different." "What is yours then?" "Well our coven isn't big but it has some witches from around Maryville. So we earned our own stone. It is the one I have on my neck. Turquoise." "It is a beautiful stone." "It also has a purifying and protective effect." "And the herbs then?" "That are binding agents for spells and we use them for positions." "This is even more beautiful than fairytales." "No, don't mistake it. There are dangers for being a preditor of even a witch. We can protect ourselves but we have to be careful." "Why does everything I say comes back as a warning?" "Because you're new. You need to learn." Natalie stands up and grabs a ring. "This is for you. It is one with turquoise in it. It works the same for you as for the witches. Only you can't do spells you can train your powers and have more specific visions if you want to." "How do you know so much about me?" "Because you are a Moreau predictor and I am a Henot witch." "Luke told me something about that. But what does it mean?" "My grandmother took care of yours when she was saving this town." "Your grandmother knew mine?" "Yes but after she went crazy mine left yours. Then she left and went to Paris." "So it is true, my grandmother is crazy." "I'm sorry but yes. Now take this damn ring and let it protect you." I take the ring and put it on. I don't feel anything. Maybe it is for later. I look at the clock and see it is almost eight o'clock. "Sorry, Nat but I have to go." She smiles and says, "It's okay, it was nice seeing you." She hugs me and I walk out of the house to the car.

I park the car at the cabin and Luke and Niall are walking outside to the car. "How the hell are we supposed to protect you if you are just leaving?" Luke says. Niall says nothing buts looks at me with an angry look. "I was just talking with Natalie, nothing to worry about." "So you don't remember New York then," Niall says. "Okay, I'm sorry. I won't do it again." I walk past them and go inside. I smell some delicious spaghetti. I walk to the living room and see that the boys had set the table and tried organizing the cabin. They are just so sweet. I go an sit at the table and take my own hand and look at my ring. It's beautiful. "So Natalie gave you a ring?" Luke his voice scares me. "Yes, with the stone of the Maryville in it." "So you are in their coven?" "No, it's to keep me protected and it makes me stronger." "Well let's eat and then go to sleep. It was a crazy day for you." "Yeah, it was." I smile at him and Niall walks in with the spaghetti.
