His Mate

Just Drive

We drove until dusk until he found a secluded little town and parked on the outskirts.

We were quiet for the rest of the time. The flashes circling the car never once stopping. Never once shutting up.

They told me many things. Things I didn't know if I should believe were true or not.

Not after everything he's told me. The monsters that go bump in the night were real, of course I knew that for a couple days now. But they wanted me and some weird connection between Blake and I that made him want to protect me.

Connection. I might admit that he is handsome, but that's all I see in him.

I suppose.

My mind was raceing with a million questions. Some already answered but others lingering in the back waiting for the time to ask.

"Are you hungry?" His voice was deep and rough as his eyes slide over to me and off the lights of the little town. My head shook against the window and my eyes closed.

It was getting dark fast and as the darkness approached the flashes got brighter. Lighting up what was out there.

Who was out there.

I didn't want to see them anymore. I wont ever admit it to Tim but I kinda missed those pills. They dulled my senses. They made the voices stop, the lights disappear.

They made me feel... Normal.

I knew I was different. Everybody told me so, and not just them I felt different also. I could hear things besides the voices, I could see better then all the kids, I was faster and stronger then most the males my age.

I hated to admit it but I missed being normal.

'No' My hands instinctively went to my ears. My eyes stayed glued shut.

"There not real." I sighed and moved my hands. He wouldn't understand.

Nobody ever does.

He shut the car off and pulled a blanket out from the back and threw it over my legs. "I'll find us a place in the morning, right now i just need some rest."

I nodded my head in understanding and watched his eyes droop slightly before he leaned his head back and his eyes fluttered shut. He tightened his jacket around his frame and sighed. "If you get cold in the middle of the night just wake me up ill start the car."

Cold? It was currently raining snow and almost midnight. The cold seemed to seep into the car as he was talking.

I didn't want to complain though. He looked tired. I was tired.

No that's not right he looked exhausted. Heavy bags lined under his eyes his skin ghostly pale and cheeks hollowed out. His to big od jacket hung closely to his frame but even I could see his slight shakes. "Are you okay, Blake?"

His eyes cracked open for a mere second and glanced at me before shutting again. "Im fine, get some sleep only a couple hours before sunrise."

I stayed quiet and relaxed. The stars glowed brightly with a crescent moon high in the sky tonight. I watched them as the flashes continued to swirl around the car. They'd stop from time to time and stare at me or at Blake. There stares deepened when he moved slightly closer.

  I took the blanket in my hands and moved closer to Blake our shoulders touching slightly and shared the blanket with him to. They stayed and watched before shaking there head and running of again.

He was right only a couple hours went by before the sunrise light the side of the car.  And still i got no sleep.

You know that time when you were younger and ran scenarios through your head about what would happen and what your reactions would be?

Yeah?

Well, there all wrong. Well at least mine were. I've always hated those pills and now look. I'd practically begged just to get one more. I've almost died twice. And I've been kidnapped and my world turned upside down in a matter of a month and all I've down is cry, sleep and get angry.

Yea i might have tried to run away once, but i chicken out. I've seen people, no things,  die right in front of me by the person sitting next to me and yet im still sharing a blanket with him.

My mind is constantly in a mess, voices constantly telling me what i should or shouldn't do and yet i just sit here and take it not doing anything. The wound on my neck had healed fast. A lot faster then if i would be taking the pills, but it still left a nasty scare along with the ones on my wrist.

And even then as i look at them and my fingers run slightly over them, i dont care.

I haven't cared in so long i almost forgot what it felt like and now as i look at Blake, theres this feeling in my heart. A feeling thats so foreign and yet so familiar.

I dont know whats real, whats right, i dont even know why im so angry all the time.

All i know is that we drive. We eat, stop for a couple days, sleep and then drive.

Driving to where though?
