My sister Wants My Mate!

[11] An Ill Isabel, An Evil Emily and A Trusting Ryder.

AN: Votes make my day!

The earth seemed to stand still as I rose from the ground, a warm sensation slowly spreading around my entire body. A jolt went through me, and as I stepped forward I heard a voice call out in a language I recognised to be one of the five ancient ones.

Suddenly, my body was lifted into the air, arms apart, dress billowing from the wandering wind; I felt completely calm.

A warm, melodic voice called out to my very essence, bellowing:

"For you, I bestow the gift of love!'

Stepping forward, I reached out as if to embrace the air before falling gracefully onto the soft meadow where the world seemed so very sweet. I lifted my hand into the air and-

And woke up.

I felt my forehead which seemed to be very very hot with hair plastered to my face. Standing up, I stumbled a little pulling on light, airy, comfortable clothes.

I half fell down the stairs which seemed like a hard obstacle to me this morning as I rested my head on the cool banister.

I reached out into the kitchen to fill up my glass that was still on the side from me grabbing a drink last night.

Vaguely, my mind registered the small fact that I could not mind link, but I did not know if this was because I was ill. I decided to find out more later, before I chucked some paracetamol down my throat with the strange tasting water. I again decided to ignore it and walk into the front room, where I promptly fainted.

What seemed like five minutes later, I awoke.

"Sleeping beauty awakes 9 hours later!" I heard Rosie's familiar voice call out, as I tried to arrange my face into a smile. Sitting up, I felt my head spinning a little before Rosie pushed my pillows into a sitting position. I grabbed the bottle of water next to me before swallowing some more paracetamol that Rosie had given to me.

Already, my mind felt much better. I tried swinging my legs out of bed but to no avail as Rosie pushed them back inside the cocoon of blankets on top of me.

"Ryder" I murmured weakly, trying to get out of bed once more, yet Rosie would have non of it.

"He's coming I promise" I let out my first grin of the day before happily settling back into my blankets. We chatted for a while about girly things; I had missed being able to talk to someone with such ease.

I heard the door rattle before Ryder's footsteps could be heard lightly on the stairs. Chucking open the door, he panted for a while.

"I was running from the border line" he explained, addressing my quizzical expression. I nodded slightly, before yanking his top with such force that he fell on top of me. Giggling, I waited until he made himself more comfortable, before placing my head on his warm and comforting chest.

"I love you" I said clearly.

"I love you" he responded.

I then seemed to drift off into a fantastic days sleep.

THIRD PERSON POV.

A knock was heard before Emily's head popped around the cumbersome door. Ryder was not taken by surprise, as it seemed that more and more often Emily seemed to be in the place that he either was in, or going too. If fact, it seemed precariously planned. With those thoughts in mind, he did not hear Emily ask him a question.

"I'm sorry, can you repeat that please?"

Emily huffed, she did not like repeating herself as she felt that everyone should be eagerly listening to her awaiting words all of the time. He would know this if he had studied her as much as she studied him!

Ryder took a mental note of what could set Emily off, before arising from the bed, in a non obvious stance to protect his mate.

"I said, would you like to come out to grab a drink with me while this one sleeps?"

Ryder took a mental note of how Isabel's sister did not ask about her well doing. It was quite a selfish trait and once again he was glad that he had Isabel as his life long partner.

Emily saw the furrowing look Ryder was wearing, and answered his unspoken question.

"I want to talk about everything with you, so that it will make sense. Please. I promise Isabel will be ok. It may even benefit her."

Agreeing with the words Emily had spoken, he nodded his head, picked up his jacket and slid it on.

"Yes, we will go get something to eat. Pizza, I think"

Emily nodded her head before gesturing towards the en suite.

"Please will you go get the car started? I just need to relieve myself"

Ryder nodded, kissed Isabel's forehead tenderly before exiting the room. Emily waited until she heard the front door close behind him before an evil smirk appeared on her face.

With some luck, Ryder had forgotten to take his phone with him. Unlocking it quickly, she set an alarm for 7:00 pm, before sending Isabel's phone a message telling her to come to him as it was urgent.

She laughed manically before smirking. If she had her way, which she frequently did, this would be a successful night. Sighing with happiness, she ran down the wooden stairs before hopping in the car.

"You forgot your phone" she told Ryder, who took it from her without a question. He was trying to trust Emily more, for he wanted to be able to sort everything through with her now. Perhaps he chose the wrong time to trust her, for Emily was already preparing the lies that she would feed him.

"Shall we get going then?"
