I hugged the cute pillows beside me as I leaned my back on the soft material. 'huh.... where is Conall?'
"Psst- Isabelle where is Conall??"
|•••|
She shrugged and continued to drift off to sleep. I started to feel uneasy. Even though there was a gentle breeze trying to calm me down I still felt the urge of touching the grass with my bare feet.
I told Jack I was going to take a walk and I jumped to ground using the rope landing on fluffy bed of fresh green grass.
I started walking on the narrow paths that led me to the sea. Unlike a few hours ago the sea was tranquil and peaceful. I followed my instincts and moved towards the water body. I walked in until the water hit my waist. I dived in the water flapping my legs rapidly motioning deeper into the sea.
I opened my eyes to a marvellous view of sea creatures. I then noticed a bright green light shining in a distance. I quickly float up and take a quick breath before I went back in and swam to the source.
When I finally came out of the water I was in a cave! and on one of the rocks was Conall!
"Conall? What are you doing here?"
"I just missed this place... Don't you? I mean you and Jack always came here!"
'That's it..... are you shitting me right now! Does everybody know what's going on except for me!?' Well that's what I wanted to ask but-
"What do you mean?" I chuckled, almost crying.
That's what I wanted to do! I wanted to cry!
"They- never mind... They didn't tell you yet..." He sighed loudly and the echoes were heard in the compact space.
He patted on the space beside him. I got out of the water as all my clothes were now stuck to my body. Not the most comfortable-
He moved the stone in his hand making the reflection of the pool everywhere. It was shining a bright green light.
Although the crystal-y little cave was very attractive... My mind was wandering about in thousand places.
For once, I thought I would never be able to go back home.
"This is your home Li..." Conall said.
It was just a creepy coincidence-
No he wasn't reading my mind!
Or was he-
I was out of words... My home?
He took my hands in his and kissed it gently sighing again...
"Let me tell you what happened..."
I nodded patiently though on the inside I was panicking, Although I wanted to know the truth now I am scared... 'What if I don't like it?'
"Lia Amble... You were born here. You were a natural born werewolf... Then something-" He paused
"Something what?"
"Something happened and Father took away your hide and you were sent on to the earth with fake parents to live like a normal earthling..."
There were so many questions in my head! Getting answer to one questions just opened up another chest filled with questions. I couldn't speak at the moment. I just froze.
Conall gently caressed my cheek and let my head rest on his shoulder. He just sat there splashing the water with his legs and playing with the crystal like a kid. I felt weirdly comforted hand in hand with a "stranger" with my head on his shoulder.
All the peace was broken as a panicked voice was heard from the pool. It was dark already! I was terrified I hid my face with Conall's muscular hand.
"LIA THERE YOU ARE! I WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU! YOU COULD GET LOST IN THE WOODS OR DROWN IN THE SEA!-"
"Calm down Jack she is alright" Conall hissed
"Woah-" I didn't even complete my sentence I was interrupted by the intense stare I was getting by him. To be more clear he was glaring at the hand that was clutched tightly with Conall's.
I weirdly felt... Guilty?
Jack grabbed my hand pulling me into the water and we swam back to the shore. I sat on the sand for a little while staring at the moon. Jack just walked away...
Was he mad.....?
