Secrets Of River Valley

Chapter 28

Dear journal
I'm losing my mind, we've established that. I can't believe I met my father. But what I don't understand is the fact everyone knew who he was, and some of them even seemed scared of him. Klaus however wasn't happy when he saw him. His blood red eyes scared me the most when he glared at my father. I don't understand why people feared him. But I guess I'll give out soon.

            Laying back on the grass, gazing up at the clear night sky. It's been a few days since the scene at the football field. I wasn't sure what to make of it. I've been spending a lot of time with my father as he taught me a few tricks.

          Since then I've been distancing myself from everyone. I haven't spoken to Mist nor Pam. They've tried calling me, but I wasn't in the mood. I needed time to think. Everyone knew about my powers now. Including Klaus. I wanted to be the one to tell him. I didn't want him to find out like that.

         My mother and her husband Harlem left for Tennessee right after the game.

          "It's beautiful out here" Naya smiled, sitting by me. Naya of course stayed back. Just like me, she wanted to know our father and get closer to him. Our mother put up a fight with her decision, but eventually give up. Everyone knows you can't separate twins for too long, it's bad voodoo.

           "It is" I sighed, I'm not sure how I found this place. But it was magnificent. There was a small lake reflecting the rippling moon light as waterfall flowed down into the lake that was surrounded by small decritive rocks. The water was so clear you could see the pebbles at the bottom of the lake.

         "What is it like. You know, the power, having friends, must be great" she asked, laying on her tummy beside me. Releasing a breath, i closed my eyes. Short flashbacks of my friends and I together, laughing and joking around and just having fun, filled my thoughts. They were all so good to me. They understood me, even though they aren't normal they're still people with feelings and emotions.

          "I can't say much about my powers, since I can barely control it. But I can tell you that my friends are amazing. When I first met them I was scared of what they'd think of me, scared they wouldn't like me. I was even scared I wouldn't make friends. But they've made my stay here amazing, Mist might be loud and blunt but she's funny, sweet and very friendly. Pam doesn't talk much. But when she does, she's completely honest and also blunt. Corey's funny and loves to eat. Elijahs just Elijah, you'd understand him if you get to know him" I explained, knowing I was leaving out one of the most important person. The one that made me feel unspeakable things. The one makes sparks fly whenever he kissed me.

           I really missed him over the past few days. But I needed this. I needed the piece of mind. But I think I needed him more.

           "And that guy" she asked, referring to Klaus. The one name I haven't called. The one whom I wish was by me. What was I doing here anyways, I missed him. As much as I didn't want to. I did.

         "His name is Klaus, and he isn't just my friend. He's my...umm... boyfriend. He's also the first person I met when I got here, my first friend. He was extremely sweet and so nice to me. It was hard to believe that he wasn't human. He made me feel like i could get through anything. Like I'm special, and I enjoy his company, just being around him is enough"  I smiled, the images of when we first met flashed through my thoughts. My eyes watering at the thought of him not wanting to see me again. I wasn't worthy of his attention, his time, nor him.

          My heart felt as if it was about to explode due to the ache flowing through my body at the mere thought of losing him. Why though. I only met him a two weeks ago and yet I'm so attached to him. Why was I so attracted to him.

        Other than the fact that he's drop dead gorgeous, with odd golden eyes and a very intoxicating scent that pulls me closer to him every time.

         "He sounds amazing" she said softly, gazing down at the grass beneath her. I sighed, pushing myself off the grass, now standing over her outstretching my hand to help her up.

        "Let's head home, it's getting late" I told her realising another sigh, rolling onto her back grabbing my hand as I pulled her up. On our way back to the car, I couldn't help but think off all the bad scenario that could take place in the woods this time of the night.

          But my mind was playing tricks on me when I saw strange glowing eyes in the distance ahead of us. Anaya stopped in her tracks, clinging to my arm for protection.

        "Zaya, what's that" she said shakily close to ears so I was the only one hearing her. That's when my suspicion and crazy mind cleared. It wasn't a trick, there was actually something there. It's eyes were glowing bright red as the shadowy figure approached us, and like any idiot, I grabbed my sister by the hand an ran back in the direction of the lake.

       My heart was pounding out of my chest, my pulse was raising, my pacing getting faster by the minute, as I pulled my struggling sister along. I didn't know if we were being followed so I took no chances. Once we were close to the lake a wall magical appeared before me, of course I wasn't fast enough to stop and I collided into the brick wall falling on my butt beside my sister who was now kneeing beside me.

         "Are you okay" she asked, but before I could answer, she was pulled away from me by the brick wall. "Let me go" she struggled, reaching out for me.

        "Let her go please" I begged, standing to my feet. The brick wall stepped out into a the reflecting moon light. I instantly recognized who it was.

          "Miss me" he said with a smirk, a smirk I wanted to smack  right off his freckled face. What was he even doing here.

        My sister's pleading face was the last thing I saw before I knocked unconscious.
