The MoonWolf

Ch.14

Kurio led me outside my room into the adjacent one. It was unlocked and we went in. I held his hand and we walked further and I sat on the couch. He was worried but managed a crooked smile. I took his hand in mine and looked at him with Concern. I hadn't told him the plan yet I plan to now, Reanon was waiting outside in the cafeteria. Kurio sat silently,he played with a string connected to his blue hoodie. Im not sure why telling him was so hard. It was likely because I was afraid he would be upset that I asked Reanon for help. Those two hadn't been getting along.

I saw it, the fight. Faith had brought me to my room because Kurio had wanted to 'talk' with Reanon. I knew it wasnt with good reason. I said nothing, went up to my room like a good girl. Faith had been making a mixture with her potions to cure Snow at the time, oblivious to anything. I wandered to my window and looked out at Kurio and Reanon. I saw Kurio punch first, Reanon fell back but stood again. He hooked Kurio in the gut. The worst thing was, I couldn't feel Kurio's pain like I used to. I had bitten my tongue, I didn't love him. I couldn't feel Reanon's pain either. I looked over at Faith and told her. She listened attentively and rubbed my back.

"Don't feel guilty," she had said.

I still hung out with Kurio but we never did hold hands much, I was distant. I was going to tell him I didn't like him the way he wanted at our picnic. I'd have to put it off, again.

"What's up?" Kurio asked, he didn't look at me, "if it's about us I know you don't like me like I would like."

My head shot up, alarmed, "how, how do you know?"

"Faith isn't great with secrets."

"Oh."

Awkward silence.

"There is also something else Kurio," I twiddled my thumbs," I heard about you getting chosen for the wolf tournaments and I wanted to give you your best shot so..."

"So?"

"I asked Reanon to teach you some magic to help you tip the odds your way, more," I sighed.

"When?"

"When you didn't show up at the picnic," I paused," where were you?"

"I, uh, I, was actually hanging out with Faith,"he stuttered.

"What?!"

"We weren't going anywhere and Faith is pretty cool, we just talked, that's it!" He said as I left.

"Reanon will meet you tomorrow, talk to him for where, I forget," I walked out leaving the door ajar.

I pushed past Reanon in the cafeteria and sent myself spinning around, bumping into everybody. I was an uncontrollable pin ball in a pin ball game. I landed atop of Snow causing her peas and grilled cheese to go soaring and landing on students nearby. I dashed outside mumbling apologies. I wasn't thinking straight. I had wanted to tell Kurio the truth, and I did. It didn't hurt him, I shouldn't be hurt he felt the same way. I walked into the backyard of the school. This school had a swing set with six swings on it. I sat down on one and took deep breaths. I pinched my skin hard. I saw Reanon walking my way. He paused and I could see he was unsure what to do.

"We can still be friends right?" I asked him," me and Kurio?"

"Yeah, I would hate to see you guys just," he flapped his hands,"you know?"

"Yeah," I sighed, rubbing my face,"yeah."

"Well I need to eat, you should eat," he sighed," let's be friends and have supper."

"Sure," I said standing up," and Reanon...thanks."

I didn't feel anything for Kurio anymore, like I had before. I saw somebody staring at me through a window. She was an adult, I asked Reanon who she was and he told me it was the headmaster. The woman laughed wickedly and opened the window.

"Magic can ruin the best of things," she cackled at me.

Fury boiled inside of me, "what did you do?!"

"Dear I believe you know!"

Reanon grabbed my elbow and shot me a concerned look. The woman turned on her heels and left the window open.

"What did she do?" I asked

"A sorceror that powerful...how?..you can't split up two mate's easily," Reanon turned on his heels then clicked his tongue, "no offense Atraya but what is so special about you?"

"I'm a moon wolf," I told him," you knew when you had been controlled, don't you remember?"

He shook his head, "no."
