Alec slowly opened his eyes when he heard noises coming from his room. "I don't know, but she seems oddly familliar to me, I don't know why, but she...she just seems so familiar," When Alec looked to his side, he saw Keira and Derek talking. And yes, Derek is slowly becoming a part of their pack because he would always come here to visit Keira. "I don't get what you mean, she's beautiful I give you that, but I don't really find her familiar at all,x"That's because you're stupid!""Hey, that's mean," Derek pouted, but Keira was too stubborn to admit she was wrong and just huffed.When she looked at Alec's direction and saw him awake, she instantly went to his side, with a trail of excessive energy visible by her actions. "Hey, what happened to you?" She asked him in a scolding manner, narrowing her eyes down at him.Instead of answering her question, Alec got up and looked at both of them weirdly, "What were you two talking about?" he asked, massaging his temples at the same time.
🌹ELLA'S POV🌹~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Ella, are you up already?" Mom nagged from downstairs. "I'm up!" I shouted a reply to her as I wore my school uniform, and I heard her ranting continuously of how much of a slowpoke I am and that I was going to be late for school. "Mom stop yelling already," I told her, going down the stairs and saw her feeding my baby brother Blake. I was so tired last night from helping that guy that I overslept on my first day of school. "There you are," mom sighed, shaking her head, looking at me with a tired gaze."Eat quick, I need you to drive your brother to school," she said."Why me?""My work is killing me Ella, I have to go buy groceries, so please just drive your brother to school honey, just this once," she said, going back and forth grom the kitchen island and the fridge."Fine," I raised my hands up in defeat, looking at Blake who was eating his cereal quietly.My brother's going to start his third year in primary school and
"Let's go?" Lee called me and I prepared my stuff so we could have our lunch, but before we could even leave, Alec called me."Excuse me Miss Ella, can I have a word with you." He said, and I looked at Lee telling her that she can go first."What do you think he wants to talk to you about?" She asked."Problem my tardiness earlier, you can go first, I'll follow shortly after I promise," I told her and she nodded her head, glancing at Alec before taking her leave. I sensed that he was already staring at me, so I spun my heels around, and now...there was just the two of us. None of us were talking, so it was pretty quiet, aside from the bustling noise from outside."Sir, do you need anything?""Oh...right," he stuttered, coughing as he composed himself, seemingly lost in his own thoughts."Thank you by the way for helping me last night,""Oh that, you don't have to thank me," I said."No-no, I think I do. And since you helped me, why don't I treat you for lunch today, what do you say?
"I'll just prepare a few things, you can sit in the living room while I cook us food, make yourself at home," he said, and this time, I was really weirded out, he was really too nice to me. I once saw a movie "Jeffrey Dahmer" and this is exactly what he was like. He was so kind to the people who he let inside his house, but a moment later, he goes wacko-wacko and stabs his guest to death.I stared at Alec as he disappeared into the kitchen, while I on the other hand sat silently in the living room Half an hour probably passed and I was starting to get bored. I got up and walked around the living room looking at everything on display. Somehow, I ended up in the staircase and looked at the frames hanged in the wall on the way up. "Is this his family?" I whispered, looking at one particular frame. There were four of them, and I could discern that the older people were his parents, but m beside Alec, there was a younger guy who looked similar to him. "Is this perhaps his brother?" I
"Sooo...""So what?" I asked, annoyed at Lee who was wiggling her brows at me."What happened between you and our oh so notorious cold professor?" she asked, and I pursed my lips, dreading the images that transpired that night."Nothing happened okay? He just treated me for a dinner as a thank you for helping him get home when he was drunk. That's all. No strings attached." I made it clear with her, not wanting her to think of something funny. "Ok then. Good," she said, crossing her arms. "And speak of the devil," she suddenly uttered and I followed her line of sight to see Alec walking in on class, his hair slightly disheveled, and there was dark circles under his eyes.I guess he also didn't sleep well."Class, today we're going to discuss the philosophy of life," he started, and all my classmates sat back on their chairs, ready to listen to his discussion. "So can anyone of you define the meaning of life?" he asked, and I could see some of my classmates shrinking in their seats,
"Where are you going again?" I grumbled upon seeing Lee wearing her fur coat again. We were supposed to stay tonight here at the cafe since tomorrow is saturday. But this girl for some reason has made plans for the night without telling me. "It's really just gonna be quick this time El, I promise I won't take long," she said, waving her hands in the air before leaving me all alone again. Sigh, I swear one day I'm gonna pull the same stunts as her and take my revenge. I looked iver the window and saw the snow slowly falling from the sky. So it's one of those days huh?I never really like the snow, I prefer a sunny day than a cold one. In fact I may actually hate the snow, and as far as a stretch that may be I have my own good reasons. ...I looked at the clock and seeing that it's almost ten, I breathed heavily, cursing in my heart since I know that Lee already bailed on me. [Ting! Ting!] The bells on the door jingled."Sorry, but we're about to close...." I stopped talking midwa
Alec has been keeping me locked in this room for three days, every time he comes here, he's eyes always light up, as if expecting something. But every time I give him a piece of my mind his mood turns sour and dejected. "I really don't understand what he wants from me," I flopped back into the bed, looking at the ceiling with a bored look. I get clothes, my room is big, and the food here is delicious, this is a life most people would trade for in a heartbeat, but there's just one huge problem, I didn't have any freedom. If he had given me a little freedom I wouldn't be so against staying here, but sadly he wouldn't listen to reason, always thinking that I would escape here, which is true nonetheless, cause what is he expecting from me? That I would stay here and be willing to become his prisoner?"It is so boring!!!" I shouted. But then I heard chirping noises outside which piqued my interest since it's been days since I heard other sounds other than the humming of the heater here
"You should have told me you were already here. Now look what you've done, you scared her too much!" "How dare you use than tone with me. Even if I look young I'm a hundred times older than you, so you better fix that attitude of yours because if not then I will cut your head off you mortal dog!" A clash of voices pierced my ears. I groggily opened my eyes and looked in front if me with great difficulty to see that it was Alec, and the strange woman I saw earlier. But now, she didn't have any wings that was burning. Sigh, just as I thought it was all just a dream. "What are you two talking about?" I asked, getting up. "Hey, don't get up yet if you're not feeling well," Alec said sitting beside me.He was about to reach my hand but I moved away, not wanting to be near him. "Don't come closer to me," I said, and for a moment his face looked dejected, but it soon disappeared and his face once again showed an expression of excitement. "Freya, do it,""What?""Summon Skye's soul," A
