"Her grandma?" I asked, grudgingly trying to understand this new information.
"Yes, Andrew says he met her once when he was with my grandfather." He said looking down at his feet again.
"I'm not sure I understand this." I said, getting up and pacing around.
"Doesn't that mean Andrea was a witch? How did she become a werewolf?" I asked, I saw Eric put his elbows on his knees and then use his hands to prop his head up.
"Andrew says her mom was attacked by a rogue and changed by force when she was trying to study how werewolves shift." He said, sighing at the end.
How could this be possible? Wouldn't Andrea know she was part witch? How stupid could those people get? 'Studying' werewolves, let alone a rogue!
"What happened after the strength spell was casted on you?" Eric asked watching me walk back and forth.
"She said I was welcome to stay with her until she was ready to cast the spell. I stayed, wandered around looking for something to do while she slept. I walked into her room and saw her sleeping, and was about to leave when I saw this shiny green powder on a shelf above her head. I tried to get a better look but instead I knocked it down and spilled it all over Jane. When I got closer to the package I read the label and it said sleeping powder."
"Claire, how big was the bag you spilt on her?" Eric asked
"About three or four inches big." I said
"Was the bag full?"
"No, half full."
"Ok that means she should have woken up sometime recently." Eric said, standing up.
"What do we do now? Go and try and find her?"
"Yes but first you have to talk with Andrew." Eric said and then his eyes changed to all yellow telling me Andrew was out.
"Andrew, what do you want talk to me about?" I asked but already knew
"Why you killed me maybe? Or why I should trust you?" he said with a bitter bite to his words
"I didn't kill you, Andrea did,"
"Why didn't you stop her?" he said, anger rising in his voice.
"Because I couldn't! She was in total control at the time! She suppressed me! Andrew, why would I ever want to hurt you let alone kill you? I love you." My voice became softer as I said this. His eyes shined with understanding and guilt.
"I'm sorry for doubting you love." He said opening his arms for me, I gladly ran into them and held him as tightly as I could. This was one of the first times I have ever truly touched him without Eric or Allie or anyone else being there.
"I love you Claire." He whispered in my ear.
I kissed his neck and said" I love you too." And then kissed his lips. It felt so nice to finally have OUR first kiss after so many years. It felt like my heart was being pulled together again.
"Our first kiss." He said after we broke apart. All I could do was nod, and hold him tighter. I now have my mate forever; nothing will take me from him.
"I think it's time to go." He said his voice was rougher and a little deeper than Eric's.
"Ok, let Eric back out so we can talk." I said letting go of him completely. He nodded and I watched his eyes change back to their normal deep brown.
"The towns this way." I said turning in the direction.
"We need to search it and question people around, if you find anything tell Me." he said, I nodded and started running as fast as I could which I knew was much faster than Allie or Eric, because the darkness within curse gave you certain abilities like becoming invisible and going super fast (even for a werewolf) it made us way stronger than an average werewolf. I didn't have time to experiment so I don't know all of the perks and all of the disadvantages yet.
