Vampire Diaries something Unfamiliar

Ch. 21 "The Truth"

                                                                Riley POV

The past few days have got me thinking, and on edge, I've been pushing Kol and his siblings away, 

Mainly because I'm afraid, I don't want to admit it but I am afraid, 

I guess I should explain, my family the one's that kicked me on the streets, the one's that abandoned me, they have been hunting me, 

Because of what I am a Coyote an in-balance in nature, a abomination, 

Anyway we are getting off topic here, so I've been pushing them away so it wouldn't hurt so bad when I do leave, 

I have to leave before they find me, before they try to kill me and everyone I care about everyone I've come in contact with, 

I am currently sitting in the living room reading a book, I'm sitting indian style, 

But I haven't been reading, my thoughts were spiraling, 

"You know darling I'm not one for reading, but I know you are not reading that book at all," Kol said 

I looked up at him to see him leaning against the door way, 

"Why do you say that?" I asked blankly 

"Well because you've been on the same page for the last five minutes," He said 

I just rolled my eyes, 

He sat down next to me, 

I stiffened, 

"So tell me darling, why have you been pushing all of us away?" Kol said 

Nope, nu uh, not getting into this, I thought 

I stood up but felt his hand around my wrist, 

"Riley what the hell is your problem?!" He yelled 

"Nothing..." I mumbled feeling hurt that I'm doing this to him, 

He had me backed up to the wall, 

"Riley what has you so terrified, I can see it in your eyes," He said with his forehead pressed against mine, 

"You wouldn't understand," I said below a whisper, 

"What wouldn't I understand? trust me I've been through my fair share, Riley... please talk to me," Kol said 

"I... I'm being hunted, that's why I have to leave," I said 

"By those hunters? you took-" He said 

But I interrupted him, 

I shook my head no, 

"No, by... my family..." I said looking down, 

"Darling look at me," He said 

I just couldn't, 

I felt his fingers hook under my chin, making me look at him, 

"Why are they after you Riley?" He said concerned 

"Because of what I am," I said feeling my emotion build up, 

"That's why I can't be here with you! or anyone don't you understand!?" I said feeling a tear for the first time in a long time fall down my cheek, 

"Darling calm down nothing is going to happen," He said 

I shook my head no, 

"Don't you see everyone I come in contact with is in danger of them, that is why I can't stay here with you," I said 

I felt him cup my cheeks, 

"Don't talk like that you are staying here and we will figure this out I promise," He said 

"You can't stop them no one can," I said continuing to cry, 

"We will and we can," He said bringing me into a hug, 

"I promise..." He mumbled
