Chapter 3

*Shane*

I felt bad for leaving Cat, she looked like she wanted the company, but I was getting too close to her. You are not supposed to get close with your assignments, but how would they know? I hate being different, not being able to have a close relationship with anyone, but the thing is, before I was assigned to watch after Cat, I had dreams about her. The dreams lasted for about a week maybe, before the assignment, I thought she was just a figure of my imagination, but I should never think that. My imagination is always true. My powers allow me to see the present, I can also heal living things, and unfortunately, anyone will fall in love with me with one touch, not like true love, that is only if I get too close to them. That is why I had to leave Cat, I could hurt her incredibly bad, not figuratively break her heart, literally, but I also want to stay with her, every second of every day.

A problem with the "assignments", is that no one can share their abilities. Each one of us Royales were born with different ones, I , being one of the unfortunate was born with three, and one aspect was extremely dangerous. Of course, it also hurt me, but none of my kind seem to understand my feelings, I can never know of someone actually loves me, not even my kind can resist my ability. There are not many " supernatural" species out there, there are the Royales, the Vamps, the Wolves, and the Fairies. My father was a Royale, but my mother was a Fairy. See my father had the ability to heal and see the present, but my mother, more kind than anyone that I have ever met, had the ability to make people love her. This led to the death of my father, my mother ran away from the Fairies so she could be with my father, but when they took her away, my father's heart would break more everyday, he could have healed himself and I would still have a parent, but when he died my mother committed suicide. I grew up with my uncle, he taught me the ways of the Royales, and how to use my abilities, but I would never let him touch me. Cat was the first person to touch me, since my mother. Only Fairies are immune to my horrible ability, so that would include Stephen, which is why I was assigned to Cat, to protect her.

I don't like lying to people, but it had to be done. I use that story about my parents and my " sister " that does not exist, for most of my assignments. I like Cat though. I wish that I would've worn gloves or not let myself around her, but somehow I was drawn to her, an ordinary human. I knew that after I had shown myself, I had to play it off by going back that night. I regret it now though. She is so innocent, so amazing, but somehow she managed to get entangled with a fairy. My question is how and why. I need to do some research, so I set off for Stephen's house.

    Fairies also have a great talent of lying, so don't start things with them because they can lie and persuade all the time. As I stood looking into Stephen's window I realized that he is alone, no parents whatsoever, but what he did have was another victim. See was working his magic charm on her, I felt worthless because I couldn't help, if I tried I would blow my cover, but I am just standing there watching a girl be set up for death with the wrong move. As the girl turned around, I knew she looked familiar. It was Sarah no doubt. He must still be using her to get to Cat. What I don't understand, is how Cat is okay, I know that Stephen must have touched her, yet she doesn't feel any pain sending him away. The more I stand here the more I wonder if Cat is really a normal human after all. I was snapped back to reality when Sarah started to come towards the window, and I quickly went away. I had to report back to headquarters, but by doing so would cause them to raise suspicions about Cat, which I didn't want. Her life would be taken from her, her brothers' too. They would always work for the Cayoles, never being able to love, to learn, and never to speak to anyone from their previous life, I couldn't do that, not to her.

    I have to admit, it felt weird staying around her house at night without her knowing, especially since I have the urge to go climb to her window and come through, like I did before. Getting her that necklace wasn't part of the act, I was going to give it to her anyway, without her noticing me though.
