Times Have Changed

Chapter 13: Attacked

Katrina Reed

------------------

After we went for a run, we came back to the pack house, and went our seperate ways. We decided we both needed a little time to think alone for a while. It been almost a week since I've seen him.

I was still in shock about everything. This all was to fast, and it didn't make sense to me. Everything was just crazy, it didn't seem real. Why did the moon goddess choose me of all people? I wish my mom was still alive to help guide me. I know what she would say.

Let fate guide you. If its meant to happen, it will.

I knew that if this was meant to be, then I was chosen for a reason. The moon goddess knew what she was doing and had faith in me.

I looked over at the clock on my bedside table, and saw that I had been sitting in my room for 6 hours now thinking. Suddenly, I felt a weird feeling come over me, and the clock started floating up. I screamed, and the clock fell abruptly to the floor. Jax came running into my room, ready to fight. He looked all over the room for any sign of danger. As he realized it was clear, he looked over at me.

"What happened?" He asked concerned.

Shawn and Emma then were standing at the door, looking worried.

I concentrated the clock again, and I felt an energy rush through me. The clock then lifted again. I couldn't hold it for long, so I dropped it after a few seconds.

Everyone stood with their mouths open, looking at what I had just done. I'm even a little stunned by what I just did. And I thought turning into a skin-walker was crazy enough.

"D-did you do that?" Jax stuttered, looking at the clock.

"I think so."

"How?" Jax said.

"I just focused on it, and it started floating!" I exclaimed.

Jax's face calmed some, and he sat on the bed beside me. Shawn and Emma were still standing, trying to figure out what just happened. After a few minutes of sitting in silence, Shawn and Emma finally left, leaving Jax and I. I laid my head on his shoulder, and sighed.

"This is all too crazy for me." I said.

Jax rested his head on top of mine, and said, "I know."

This was more of a friendly jester, than anything else. We both knew what each other were going through and understood.

I realized that we knew practically nothing about each other, and looked up at Jax.

"You know, I know nothing about you." I said, looking up at him.

"Well, lets get to know each other then."

"Ok, whats your favorite color?" I ask. It was a cheesy question, but it was the only one that came to mind.

"Red. What's your favroite food?"

"I don't really have one. I like all food!" I said, laughing,"How long have you and Shawn been friends?"

"Shawn has been my best friend since the diaper days. He was the one to keep me sane through everything."He paused, and said." But that's all in the past now."

I sat in silence, trying to figure everything out, when Jax looked deep in though. He was probably mind linking someone. He then shot up and started running out the door.

I got up, and sprinted to catch up to him and asked, "What's going on?"

"We are under attack!" He yelled.
