"you're not nauseous?", Noa asked me as she circled the forest around the lake.
" no", I answered his telepathy, he could not speak in the form of the wolf.
"we lost track of that vampire",
" were there no other wolves standing guard here?"
"there's a jack, but if there's anything he'll call me".
" you're right", though",
Noa turned around, she took me back to camp.
"be careful, I'll stay here to take care of you" said noa as I got off her back, leaving her bag.
" do you not need sleep?"
"of course I need to sleep, but things in alaska are not okay, you'll hear the news from the anchorage area tomorrow.There's a suspected case of vampire".
I was stunned, feeling more and more guilty because of this worsening state of affairs. Really, if from the beginning I knew who I really was, I would take another path that would not harm anyone else.
"go away, your friend must be looking for you",
I nodded, then turned around and ran towards the camp.
Sure enough, my friends were looking for me near the toilet. Luckily aunt Lily wasn't among them. She would have been very worried if she knew I had disappeared from the camp.
" there!" screeched grace
"hi guys", I waved while running towards them.
" jeez, ra, where have you been?" olivia looked angry and worried at the same time. "we've been looking for you for almost half an hour".
" i'm sorry", I bowed, looking for a good reason to say.
"already, let's go in. The air's getting frozen out here" Conner suggests.
we all agreed to go back to the tent. Megan keeps checking if I'm okay.Olivia still looks upset, while Grace prepares hot chocolate for me.
" what do you think Ra?" grace asked calmly, I sipped the hot chocolate she gave me.
"nothing, I'm just upset", I replied as long as it's better to be crazy than to tell you the real reason.
" you're so crazy" Megan patted me on the back.
"what do you think we're here for?, don't you think we're your best friends anymore? to the point that you have to run to the forest to calm down".
" i'm sorry", that's all that came out of my mouth.
"you know, we were freaking out when you hadn't come back, bill caught up with you to check, but he heard you screaming from the woods".
" what?" I was surprised, I didn't scream at all.
"we are here to comfort you, Ra, don't forget that you have a friend to complain about". Conner said sincerely.
I was moved to think how much my friends cared about me, but who screamed in the woods after I left with noa.
"can we sleep now?" I'm innocent, I yawned from sleepiness.
"of course, you rest, we'll stand guard outside your tent" bill said manly.
" thanks bill", I punched his arm.he smiled warmly.
I chose to sleep in the middle, because my friends insisted I should not be alone anymore, even though I was asleep. But then my phone rang .
"hello?", I answered the phone from an unknown number.
" arabel?", the voice of a familiar man in my ears echoed in shock.
"yes, it's me.who are you?",
" we will meet soon, one of your threats is dead.But be careful.The Vatican is nothing to Aphrodite's appeal ".
I was confused, what was he talking about exactly? he seemed to know everything.When I was about to ask again, the connection had been severed.
Still astonished, my friends also asked, but I just answered it was the wrong person. finally we slept . the beginning of my plan will contact isobel or christian but apparently my eyes are already very heavy. I'll decide to call them tomorrow.
"ra, wake up ra", man",
I blinked my heavy eyes. "what?" I don't want to wake up.
"isshhh woke up first" Megan kept shaking my body. I had to wake up while yawning.
"what's up meg? are we having a bad time for a canoe?" I asked silly, a laugh I recognized was on the doorstep of our tent.
"Christian?" I asked megan.
"yes, that's christian. I forbid him to come in because you're still sleeping. he can't see you snoring like that".
I laughed cynically, megan did not know that we had slept together even though we were just hugging, so I was not afraid of looking ugly or snoring when christian was near me.
"okay, I'll catch up with the others for our breakfast, what do you want to leave?"
"nothing, just like your menu", I yawned again while combing my hair with my fingers.
after Megan came out, christian went into our tent
" hello my dear", christian sat opposite me who was half-covered.
"still sleepy?" I just nodded lazily then lay down again on the soft wind bed.
christian laughed a little while stroking my head, he seemed to be happy.I glared at him suspiciously.
"i brought orange juice" he said later, which got me excited waking up. Drinking orange juice in the cool morning greatly refreshed my tired brain.
" what happened to me here?",
" i've missed you",
"emmm. It's still morning, and I haven't had breakfast.I could have vomited hearing your chatter",
christian chuckles, "we have good news",
I looked into his eyes seriously, "what news?", I remember last night Noa didn't tell me good news, only criminal news in anchorage.
" dysis is dead" said christian with bright sparkling eyes.In the instant my face sumringah, the tightness of my chest slightly reduced.
"yeay! thank goodness christian!" spontaneously I hug christian, he scented so much that he made me want to kiss his neck.
christian laughed with me, he also hugged me tightly. then he pushed me in disdain
"you stink so dear, what did you do last night ? hmm?" the look in his eyes probed ,
I'm downcast embarrassed, though,
"uh, didn't noa tell you?" I turned back, christian is still serious
"no" he answered briefly.
"anu, last night I went up to his back when he was a wolf", I half whispered, because I saw a shadow of a man eavesdropping outside the tent.
christian closed his eyes, he let out a long sigh.I felt bad for him.
" are you mad at me?"I'm nervous, I'm actually confused, why am I afraid he's angry? didn't we have no special relationship?. I guess I started to put my heart on Christian.
christian opened his eyes, "are you afraid I'm angry?",
I looked down again, unable to answer that question.
" look baby, even if you reject me for hundreds of years, I'll keep you, love you. I'm jealous, but it's no more important than your happiness".
christian's words made me cry, all this time I've been suffering with my miserable life.
"hey, why are you crying? did I hurt you?" christian held my face with his cold hands, I just shook my head.
"i'm just moved," I replied innocently. christian smiled warmly. His sincere eyes made my heart melt. I never really thought about who I would love, she said, christian gave me so much love.
"excuse me christian, I won't be near Noa anymore",
" don't promise me anything baby, you deserve to be close to anyone, don't make me the reason you're locked up in a cage".
"on the other hand, our situation is not completely safe, sandra has not been found, although we found traces of alan, which is why we still need the wolf pack" Christian added.
"you're right, we need a lot of help right now"
"yes, and it's not fair if we just need their help without actually making friends".
I nodded my head in understanding, very true Christian's words, I would also feel guilty if I stayed away from Noa because I kept feeling christian.
" do you still want to continue your recreation?"
"actually I want to know the details of Dysis's death, but my friends are here for me".
christian nodded, then took me out of the tent.
apparently there's been a gathering of my friends who joined the youth from conservation. Also the costel family, even aunt Lily and charlie joined in. I squeezed the hand of christian who was holding me tight, feeling happy with the beautiful scenery.
"thank you christian", I muttered happily.
" anything for your happiness my dear".
That day, we spent recreation time together.christian was really unselfish.even though he wanted all the time with me, but he still let me be with my girlfriend.
Aunt and Charlie had already blatantly shown their relationship was serious. I teased her, though,
"i'll be getting a new uncle soon", charlie chuckled at that. It seems Charlie was a good man.I could see love in his eyes every time he saw aunty.
Noa can not come, also ken and gabe. they seem to get a task together.megan remains cheerful, because in addition to noa, there is jack the omega who is no less handsome and stocky. We were all dissolved in recreational bliss on a normal day. At least I'm surrounded by people who care about me.
