---Miguel’s POV--- I felt so bad for Merida. She was still dealing with the fact that Nadia was keeping a secret and all the new information she got over the weekend. As well that Nadia blocked her when she was chatting with the king. I wish had be privy to that chat, but we needed to keep the information to a few people. The less who know what’s the plan, the more chance of success. Though to say she wasn’t happy wasn’t a good way of describing her this weekend. As she cried a lot. She couldn’t believe that someone was out using her as an excuse to hurt people and now someone died because of it. Then again, the fact that Nadia was keeping her in the dark or helping on some trap, really hurt her. I don’t think she and Nadia have kept secrets from each other, not that she could kept hers from Nadia. But she seemed to really trust Nadia. It really took all weekend to get her to calm down and understand we will get those responsible for it
I was crying. Reaching up or trying to I tried to touch my face, but it was hard. In fact, everything hurt. Plus, something was holding me in place.“Gab! Gab please say something!” turning my head I see a guy leaning over the top of my head as he spoke to someone. Looking up as much as I could I see a beautiful woman, well her face. Or some of it as the guy was holding her face in his hands as he cried in her red hair. Then looking around I see that she is holding me on her side and on her other side was a boy. Looking to him, I felt sorrow, a deep gut-wrenching sorrow. His eyes were open and staring at me. His gray eyes that I knew had a ring of green, they reminded me of mom’s eyes. At that thought I looked up and remembered that the beautiful woman was mom. Moving as best as I could, I reached up to touch my mom.My movement startled the guy and that’s when he looked down at me. We just stared at each other, his light gray eyes spoke of his sadness and misery as well as his shock.
Yes, never ever think a day can get better when it starts with one nightmare and then gives another in the middle only to end with Natasha as your lab partner in science. This day just could not stop throwing shit at me. After study hall, which was nice but boring given, I spent it writing notes from the pages Mr. Rouser assigned. And I was right Miguel had the same assignment and had already finished reading the pages. So, he helped or should I say corrected my notes. Which just annoyed me, but I also appreciated it for I really wasn’t grasping the information, not that it was complicated, I just felt like it was wrong. Another thing Miguel agreed with but how do you explain to your teacher that the book is wrong without sounding completely nutz. So, I got through that and at the bell we headed to our table outside the cafeteria where I found Lucy. My other best friend and the loudest friend that I have. Well, I was heading to the table while Miguel went to get our food. We both
After lunch Cathy and Miguel walked with me to the science hall, even though Miguel was in Intro to Physics and chemistry science, a high school class but it was offered, and he got in. It was in one of the newly refurbished classrooms, but it was still in the science hall but closer to the math hall which was not that far away. I knew Cathy was only with us because of Miguel but it helped to take my mind off the day I was experiencing until I walked into my classroom, sadly not one of the newly refurbished huge classrooms. Yep, she was in my class. Though the worst part was my regular lab partner was out sick, so she was put at my table and made my lab partner for today. I tried to ask the teacher to let me just do it myself and put her at another table, but no the teacher wanted us to ‘play nice’ and do the work. “You know you’re doing all the work, right!” Natasha stated as she pushed the paperwork and materials to my side of the table. “And don’t forget to put my name on it.” I
I didn’t get in trouble given none of the items were mine and that was easy to prove. The only lucky thing this entire day was that Mi had a locker in this hall, which is where my book-bag was. I had, smartly as I always tried to do, put my book-bag and stuff in his locker and only took my science book, notebook, and a pencil into class. Something Lucy, Mi and I did when one of our lockers happened to be nearby. It really helped with keeping down what we had to keep up with in class and carrying around. Plus, it kept people from messing with my stuff, something Natasha and Lousie loved to do. I also got good marks on my assignment given other teachers were asked to look it over. The principal was still dealing with a frantic Mrs. Blanchard and the mess that was our classroom. The janitorial staff were not too happy given what they had to clean up, but I could see them smirking as they heard what happened. “Ms. Cogswell is this your book and notebook?” Mr. Smith, the head janitor ask
“So, my house today!” Lucy simply announced after hearing everything that happened in my class. “Ok who is all coming?” “Coming!” Chad and Steve scream at the same time, which started another round of roughhousing from them. They are always horsing around or jumping at each other when they see each other, yet they do everything together. I just giggled at their silliness and wondered how I have such great friends. “Peter has practice, so he’ll probably not be coming today.” Miguel says as he looks in his planner. “I have a couple hours before I must be home. So yeah, I'll come.” “Is it ok if I come?” Cathy asks. “Yeah, no problem, Cathy. Come over as well.” Larry answered before Lucy could say anything. Larry is Lucy’s twin brother and so laid back that sometimes you forget he’s there. “Come here Mery let’s get going.” He says while reaching for my hand. I just shrugged as I took his hand and followed him down the street leading from the school. “Hey, wait up you two!” Terry yell
--- Miguel’s POV ---“Is she ok?” I asked as soon I was close; I almost fell onto Ericson as I fell to my knees next to him. It really irked me that he was still holding her. Yeah, I know he got to her first and was with her as she passed out, but doesn’t he know you shouldn’t move a person. Especially with how high she fell from though I knew she didn’t hit her head but for everyone else it might have looked like she had.“She’s ok for the moment but we need to get her to hospital to be sure.” Ericson tells me while still looking her over without moving her or upsetting Crispin. Like his feelings better. I mean yes, he was the first in the whole schemes of things, but he wasn’t the most important person in her life.“Miguel is she ok?” Miguel?” Looking up I see Lucy fighting against both Adam and Larry, who are trying to keep her back.“For the moment she is but she needs a hospital. Lucy, go get your mom. We need a ride to the hospital.” I scream at her. She just nods her head befor
--- Miguel’s POV ---I seriously needed to thank the girl. Due to her interference with the officers, we were able to follow the ambulance all the way to the First Dynasty Hospital. Though because it was heading to the ambulance bay, Lucy’s mom, whom we call Mama Ang, headed to the parking lot. Lucy and I didn’t even hesitate to jump out as she slowed down for another car that was pulling out of a spot.“Wo, you two wait!” Mama Ang yelled at us, but we didn’t slow down or look back. Yes, we would pay for the disrespect, though I was hoping for some understanding since it was an emergency.Just as we got to the door, it was opened by none other than that girl. Lucy shoved past her, while apologizing but not stopping to thank her and even ask why she was here.At first, I was wondering why she was here till she looked to me. That’s when I see the similarities to Crispin, except for her hair. Her blonde streak ran from her left ear to the middle of her head and her hair was long, lower b
---Miguel’s POV--- I felt so bad for Merida. She was still dealing with the fact that Nadia was keeping a secret and all the new information she got over the weekend.

---Merida’s POV--- You would have thought I had been living in this house in this manner all my life. I get up, take a hot shower and then use the nicest towels ever and then spend a good amount of time going through the closet. I just can’t decide what to wear. Nadia and I argue over the name brand stuff, while I scour through the more understated stuff for something I might like. Then Sarah, Lucy, or Jenn or all of them came in and get me dress. Then we go downstairs for breakfast and gossip. The guys sometimes join us, but really, it’s just us and RJ. My dad though had to leave Saturday night, he flew back to his castle as something came up and he needed to deal with it in person. Plus, he wanted to talk to our sponsor as well. He promised to be back by my court appearance on Wednesday. Something I am not looking forward to but hey I promised, and everyone has been so supportive. *How can I back out now.* *Girl no one will demand or s
---Zander’s POV--- Smiling at Nathan as I put the last of my dishes in the window, I turn and see James platting up his last. He scowls at me seeing me wiping down my half of the worktable. I just shrug my shoulders at him and turn back to the stove. Placing lids on everything as I turn the heat off, so nothing burns as everyone tastes our dishes. “Hey, you guys! Are you done yet? I’m hungry!” Ma yells as she strolls into the kitchen. Turning around I see James placing his last plate in the window. “I just have to put the rest in the oven but yeah, I think we’re done. Right boy?” James answers as he looks at me and winks. I get a kick out of him. He always tries to get under my skin like this, not t
---Nadia’s POV--- So, he wants to face me, then Papi I’ll see how far you want to take this. I know my girl is worried about all the people who got hurt and are still recovering but none of this is her fault. Nor can they demand her to pay or step forward. For the real person they want is me or the version of me they remember. Everyone always thinks that I’m all about causing pain and chaos. Though yes, I do like doing that but on my terms not on someone else’s. Plus, I have strict rules about who gets hurt and how much. Everything that has been going on is just plain rude. They are causing unnecessary harm and pain with no real goal in sight. For what right do they have to demand my presence or that of my Girl. She just got out of that hell hole and now she is about to face her first obstacle of this life. That scumbag! Tim deserves to rot in a hole with bugs crawling all over him. I really wish I could get 5 minutes with him. I really would show him true pain
---Ericson’s POV--- Sighing in relief as I crossed the threshold of the house, I paused as I sensed where everyone was. The guards and staff were mostly in their places but acting weird. Even my son was acting weird. As he was pacing outside the study where everyone else was. I’m not sure what they are discussing but I could feel the tense all the way here. Though I really wanted to just get a drink and forget this day I needed to talk with the King. For that alpha of the Moonlight River pack is going to be a problem. I really can’t believe everything he said to me or even requested. He really acted like the rogues are targeting his pack and aiming to kill off all his members. The Cresent Luna has had more fatalities, and their members had to leave their daily lives behind and hide in emergency housing for the past month. We are just lucky that most of them work for shifters businesses and that all the warriors are willing to assist in getting all t
Swallowing down the saliva that suddenly spawned in my mouth, I cleared my throat before explaining myself, “I have been practicing how to put up a block for the past month, but the nightmares have been going on for the past year or so…” “Ever since I left!” Jenn added as she moved to the sit next to me. Grabbing my hand, she squeezed it. I can see she wants to apologize, but it’s not her fault and plus I needed to learn how to deal with them. Mi sits back down but across from me and reaches across the table to add his hand to ours. His touch gives me strength so I can continue talking. “Jenn, I don’t remember what it was like before you came into my life, but I don’t wake up in a fit or screaming or crying. I just slept through them and woke up the next day wondering about them. I know they aren’t all the same, but they really don’t scare me. It’s like they are a film I am remembering but not completely getting.” I said as I squeezed her hand back
---Merida’s POV--- Sitting there I just watched as Mi bounced his head on the table, I just worked on Jenn’s words. It was more than I thought. I had learned that shifters tend to run in packs as a way to strengthen themselves and protect their loved ones. Though if a trouble shifter causes issues in the pack, then they are kicked out and left to wander alone. Thus, making them rogues and any person that follows them. So, a promise of a new pack, where they are forgiven is too much to turn down, even a condition like causing panic in another. But then again would they go so far as to kill shifters just to join a new pack that hasn’t been established. *Wait has the pack even been formed?* “Jenn where is this pack set to be established?” I asked, causing everyone to halt in their movement and stare at me. “I’m sorry but no new pack has been recognized in this area and with my dad here. Won’t the leader or alpha have to approach my dad to b
---Miguel’s POV--- I would say life has calmed down these past two days, but I would need a base line to compare to our everyday life. But I can say we got into a routine that worked better than before. I know Mr. Bell has a lot of knowledge and experience when assisting someone with understanding their powers or teaching others of our world but Meri is not like anyone. I can’t explain but Meri does understand everything she learns but she still questions as if the knowledge she has is different than what she learned. Not that she remembers what she knows. But I am happy that I can openly help Meri now and not sneak behind everyone’s back. As Mr. Bell didn’t want to overwhelm her and thought one on one would be good for her. As well as judge what abilities she had and see about getting them under control. I wasn’t sure if any had surfaced but then again Nadia was present in her head. And we didn’t want her to get control or act out any more than she
~(;P)~ Nixie’s memories ~(d:)~ “… are you ok?” came his soothing voice which had me swooning in awe. How could someone be exactly my dream angel. Helping me to a sitting position, my sister falls into my lap as she cries onto my shoulder. Oh, shit she saw uncle hitting me, I have been hiding that for years. I don’t want her to lose all connections to our parents like I have. “Anneliesa I’m ok! Remember your sister is strong.” I smiled at her as she looked to me. “Now dry those tears and say hello to our guest.” I say as I waved at my dream angel and introduced myself. “I’m Nixie Klein and this is Anneliesa Klein. Sorry about all this but welcome to our adobe.” I said, getting to my feet and looking around. Stepping back as I took in the disarray, I was astonished to see the magistrate, my uncle as well as Mr. Boem and his son being restrained. I don’t recognize the soldiers or even remember them from before I arrived. *Where did all thes
