Blood Lust And Love

Chapter 22

DarkBeauty357

It was late at night and Leah had just got a knock on the door. When she opened it a cool breeze swept past her and into her house. There was a slight drizzling of rain outside that made everything eerie and haunting. The way the wind wiped against the trees sounded like little children whispering and singing.

A female pack member, who Leah knew by the name of Linda Lee, stood outside her porch with a smile on her face and a vase of flowers in her hands. A very wide smile showed on her face and Leah felt a warm sensation in her heart when she looked at Linda. "Hey, Luna! I just wanted to give you these flowers. And thank you for congratulating me." Linda said. She had given birth a few days ago. Alec and Leah both sent out a card and gift to welcome all new pack members.

"No problem. How is little Jack?" Leah asked as Linda handed her the flower vase.

"All he does is cry and cry and cry. All night. But it's definitely worth it."

"Well, I hope he settles too. I remember those nights pretty well." Leah replied.

"Right. Well, I better get going, my mate misses me already." Linda said as she could feel him being upset through their bond.

"Okay, have a nice night. I hope you get some sleep tonight!" Leah smiled and waved.

Linda laughed as the bags under her eyes became more prominent, "I hope so too."

Linda left and Leah smiled down at the flowers. Everyone in the pack knew she had a thing with gardening, so flowers were an awesome gift for Leah. With being a Witch and all, nature was very important. It was important to wolves as well, feeling the energy and life that radiated from the flowers was a gift from the heavens.

Quietly whistling to herself, Leah walked upstairs to her room. The door creaked open and Leah walked in her room. She sat the flower vase down on her nightstand and admired the flowers while sitting on her side of the bed. Then she stood up and grabbed the glass of water taking a few sips. She wanted to check up on all of her kids before she went to bed.

"Leah?" A confused voice echoed behind her.

Leah turned around and she dropped the glass which broke into a million little pieces. Her blood ran cold and shivers racked through her body. Leah felt light-headed and nauseous all at once. She cupped her mouth to prevent her from screaming as tears silently fell down her face. Leah's body shock as silent sobs racked through her body.

"No...." Leah shook her head as she looked at Rem.

Rem was still in his torn clothes with blood staining his body. The bullet hole was still visible in his forehead and the torture done to his body was still visible. That was proof that he hadn't even crossed over in the afterlife. For some reason, his soul was still lingering on earth. It wasn't the same case as Charlie because Charlie was able to cross over between both life and death, but only Leah was able to see him.

They both stared at each other as Leah was in so much shock. Leah's eyes traced over all the blood, marks, and torture done to his body. "How? Are you even here..." Leah trembled.

Rem smiled brightly, "I died." Even in death, he was still his happy and relaxed self.

Leah just gawked at Rem so he decided to elaborate, "Everything went black, then all of a sudden this ghost boy, Charlie, I think is his name, popped up and scared the shit out of me. Anywho, he was all like come with me so I came. And then boom here I am. He apparently gave me a temporary ability to visit you in his place. Do you talk to little boys? That's a weird hobby, Leah. You should probably go get that checked out."
