Kimiya POV
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once class was over, I went back to my locker to put my things and get ready for home. I heard a 'ding' on my phone. I took it out and it was my sister.
'Hey, you back home yet?'
'Not yet. I'm putting out my stuff then I'm heading straight home.'
'Alright be safe and make sure no one is following you'
'Okay'
I close my locker and turn to find the girl previously, jump in front of my face which startled me.
"Oops sorry haha, didn't mean to startle you. I'm Helena, Colson's sister" she put out her hand for me to shake. I look at it for a moment, hesitant to reach but I slowly did anyway. Makes sense that she looks like Colson, they both have the same eyes, and her face feature looks somewhat familiar. Helena looks at me like she's waiting for something.
"Ummm, normally people say their name back after someone introduces themselves soo..." She moves her body side by side. I grip my stuff tightly as I didn't want to have this conversation any further. She looks at me with her curious eyes and-
"You can talk....right?"
I look at her again, thinking whether I should even though I know I am not supposed to. She's friendly but...then looks can be deceiving. I just put up an act showing that I am embarrassed about not being able to talk. And I think she bought it the moment she gasps.
"Omg, I am so sorry. I didn't mean to be rude! I-"
I cut her off by shaking my head and hold her arm as an assurance that I take no offense..which I am not, at all...She had that guilty look on so bad it made me chuckle.
"It's not funny!! Oh, how am I gonna tell him...?" After the part she said funny, her words became a whisper after that. I gave her the 'huh' look and she just went nothing. I just wrote on the piece of paper 'I'm Kimiya but I got to go. Nice meeting you.' After I pass her the note, I just bolt from there before she could even stop me.
I walk home with my earphones on but with no music. I head into the forest to get home quickly before anyone decided to stop me for a damn introduction. I focus on my hearing and I can hear someone is running past through the forest, not far from here, or should I say 'something'...I look at the forest area with my night vision (my eyes tend to glow when I do so), and true enough, I see shadows of something running fast, real fast....in wolf form. Looks like they came in packs. I realized a couple of them halt the moment I stop awhile to 'tie my shoes' which cleared my suspicion. They are following me.
So I keep on walking until I see a corner that's away from the forest view. The moment I turn, I look back to make sure they're not behind me and I ran behind a huge tree, out of sight from them, and teleport to the top of the building nearby. I duck down to make sure they don't see me up here. True enough, a couple of buff guys show up at the corner.
"Where the hell did she go?"
"She can't just disappear out of thin air!"
"Let's just find her before the Alpha loses his shxt!"
"You go there while we search here! Go!"
And they went their separate ways. I see the coast is clear and I jump down from the building, landed softly on both feet. I go back in the same direction I came from and head on home. I could just teleport home-like duhhh but it depends on the distance as well. It's a 20-minute walk so to teleport from here to there, it's gonna drain me for good. Besides, a quiet walk is what I need from today's activity. Ugh. I reach home and take off my earphone and close the doors behind me. I can hear the kitchen making some noise and head there to see my sister is preparing dinner for me. She places a line of *GASP* SUSHIIIIII!!!! I clap my hand with excitement and start digging in with the chopstick my sister pass. I moan in satisfaction. It's been a long time since I ate sushi. Masako chuckled upon my reaction.
"So how was school? Got any spilled tea?" She wiggled her eyebrow, like jeez. Which reminds me....the mate...I stop eating and place my chopstick down. I don't know what to say to her. How do I start? If she finds out, will we move again? Do I have to reject him for the sake of us? So many questions.....Until there's a finger-snapping on my face
"Helloooooooooooo, Kimiya to Earth, what's going on?" She places her left hand on her waist and her right arm on the counter to support her body. I look at her, gaping like a fish, trying to get the words out.
"Lady, speak!"
"I found my mate!!" I shut my eyes as I blurt out the words.
I open one of my eyes to see her reaction and she went FROZE.
"Masako?....Masako-chan? Sis!!" And she shook herself awake.
"Huh...uh...yeah. Um..." She tries to find the words to assess the situation.
"I just can't believe it...I didn't expect that you'll find a mate so soon. I mean...."
I hold her hand. "I know, so do I. We expected this to come but....there is one more..."
She looks at me in fear, thinking of what else could be more.
"He's an Alpha of the pack....here..."
Masako stood up so quickly that it even startled me.
"NO NO! NO! YOU BETTER REJECT HIM!!!" I got shocked that she asked me to reject my one and only mate!
"Reject him?! Masako, he's my mate! I can't reject him!" What am I saying now...???
"Then what are you gonna do huh? Accept the bond? Kim, it's not just the bond that worries me! It's them finding out who we really are! Do you think they would accept someone who is a totally different kind from them? Not to mention, kitsune and wolf don't get along together! They'll rip us apart when they have the chance!"
I shut my eyes in frustration. I know my sister is right...If he ever knew about who we really are, for sure he'll send the entire pack to shred us. Sigh...
"Masako, I know the danger but I can't simply just reject him. You know it'll hurt me and him as well..."
She looks at me, thinking about what we should do with the situation. She let out a big sigh.
"Even if they accept us wholeheartedly, you know very well the danger we bring along...and if we do..."
I knew what she is trying to say...More deaths...Masako let out another sigh.
"It's only day one we moved here and these shxt comes along..."
I went around the counter and hug her from behind.
"I know...I know. Just trust me on this alright? I'll handle this while I -"
"Handle this how? You and I both know the bond will pull you two closer even if you try to deny it"
Sigh..
"You gotta trust me on this, Masako...please" I didn't want to talk about this any further. I have plenty on my plate already and I don't want this matter to be a concern. I know I can't be with him. The risk is too much. I just have to avoid him as much as I can until we figure out what to do next.
"Fine...just...don't get attached to him YET. We need to make sure that they don't pose a threat to us. I don't know how else I can say it anymore." Masako rubs her forehead. She looks tired as it is. She busts her ass off just to make sure we're well hidden so no one knows who and where we are...
"I'm heading to bed. Just make sure you get some rest"
Masako nods compliantly. "Oyasuminasai, imoto" (Good night, sister)
I gave her a smile and wave at her. I head to my room and plump myself into bed. I stare at my shadowy ceiling. My sister took care of me since I was just a baby. I couldn't remember what happened to us...my parent. Masako refused to tell me the whole story but only to trust her. So I did...I get upset from time to time for hiding it from me. But she said I was too young to understand and when I'm ready only she'll tell. But that's not the case. To me, I think she just doesn't want me to feel the burden, the more I think about it. It upsets me to bit that she has to carry it all on her own. So I decided that I have to avoid Colson. Masako is all I have and she sacrifices for me all that she has just to protect us...me...I mean, who the hell chooses a stranger over a family jeez...
I grab one of my pillows and cuddle it till I sleep. I think about what I'm going to do tomorrow and my last thought was what am I going to do with that mesmerizing blue eyes before sleep took over me.
