4:15 read the clock on the wall as Alex stared into the mirror. "Do I really have to wear this?" She whined pulling on the dress. "Yes! You look amazing!" I told her, and she really did. We found her a maroon dress that fell to her knees and hugged all the right curves. The neckline was high covering her to her neck but it left the whole back open. "Plus even Septer likes it," I laughed as the black snake climbed up Alex and made his way under her dress. "Septer! You perv get out!" Alex scolded her familiar, he hissed in response. "No you cannot come to the party. no snakes allowed," Alex puts her hands on her hips and glares at the snake.
Septer climbs down Alex and curls up on the floor.
Flames rise from the snake growing bigger and bigger. A deep husky voice comes from the flames, "then I won't be a snake. Lookie here problem solved my feisty one." Alex rolls her eyes and waits for the flames to burn out. The flames grow up about 6ft tall before burning out and leaving smoke where they once stood. Standing within the smoke where the snake once curled up is a man. Over 6ft tall, his hair was charcoal black, his eyes a burning red. He wore a black dress shirt with top buttons open and showed his muscular chest the shirt was tucked into nice black dress pants topped with snake skin shoes. This was Septers "human" form as Alex calls it. All familiar have two forms one to help them hide and travel easier with there master and the other is to help them in battle hold stronger power then the other form. Most familiars transform into larger versions of them selves. Septer is unique but it's all due to Alex's great power. "And how am I to explain a 6ft3 man at a high school party full of teenagers?" Alex looks up into his eyes as he towers over her. "You look like your 25 not 16! Now back to snake form and go we leaving right now anyway we are late." With a puff of smoke the man is gone and the snake returns hissing angrily Alex as he exits the door. I turned to look at her "will he be okay?" I ask. She shrugs her shoulders, "he'll get over it. come on, let's get going! we got to get to Blake's." She grabs my hand and pulls me to the door.
We decide to walk to Blake's since he didn't live to far from the forest and Alex's house. As we get to the right apartment Alex just opens the door and walks in, "We're here!" She calls out to the room. We walk in to see Jake and Blake standing near a shattered sliding glass door. The looks on their face was full of concern and worry. "What's going on?" I asked them. Jake let out a sigh and shook his head Blake spoke up, "uuuu it was an accident we're just trying to figure out how to fix it." I could tell there was more to it and i knew Alex could to, but we didn't press the issue. "Well simple just a time back spell and it be as good as new!" Alex flicks her wrist to the door. A gold clock outline appears. As the hand spitting backwards quickly, the glass begins to float up and put back into place. Almost as if what happened ran backwards by the time the clock disappeared the glass was once again whole. "There see all fixed," Alex says like all she did was flick her wrist. Spells like these hardly effect Alex and her energy, she been practicing so long it's second nature to her. Jake looks at Alex with horror in his eyes, "yyyou're a witch?" "Well yeah I thought you knew," Alex looks at him. Confusion fills her face, she's unsure of why he's looking at her with such horror. He shakes his head and quickly walks away, we both look at Blake hoping for an explanation. Blake looks at where Jake walked off to sadness filling his eyes. He then looks at us, "he not a fan of witches..... Witches played a hand in our packs death..." His eyes grew watery and look as if any second would start gushing water. Alex and I quickly rush over to him and wrap him in a group hug. We had no idea. Alex starts to pet Blake's hair, "don't cry if I ever find those witch's, I'll burn them alive!" Blake starts to laugh, "Good to know your on our side Alex," he smiles at her. His words felt like they had a different meaning. We stood there hugging for another minute tell Jake came back in the room, "come on, we need get this place party ready." We let go of each other and get to work with in no time the apartment is party ready.
It is now 7:00 and the party is in full swing. As soon as people started to show Jake has keep his distance from Alex. Not that it bothered her. She was having too much fun making Ruston go crazy. The moment he walked in she been hanging on, Blake whispering in his ear, and dancing with him. I watch Ruston face his eyes never leave Alex. Then I see it. "Oh MY Goddess!" I yell at him. He looks at my like I've lost my mind, "What what?" I pull him away from everyone into the quite of the hall. "Spill now," I look at him with my hands on my hips and a knowing smile. "Spill what? What are you going on about Serina?" He's acting confused but I see right threw it. "Don't give me that! I saw the way you looking at Alex!" I narrow my eyes at him challenging him to tell me I'm wrong. "Ya she looks hots and I was checking her out so what?" He trucks his shoulder avoiding looking at me in the eyes. "No you're looking at her like dad looks at mom," I call him out. He lets out a sigh and runs his hand through his hair, "okay, yes she my true mate... But she's not a wolf so the pull isn't the same for her as it is for me." He looks down sad, "so if she into Blake nothing I can do to stop it.." "Blake gay, Ruston!" The words came out before I could stop them. Ruston eyes widen and rushes back inside. "Oops" I say as I follow him back inside. When I get inside Ruston is already standing next to Alex talking into her ear. Her eyes are dancing with amusement. Next thing I know, Rustons pulling her out onto the dance floor. I laugh at them as I walk over to Blake, "guess he stole your date huh?" Blake looks at me, "I wish he stole me instead!" We both start laughing. "Come on Blake, show me those amazing dance moves," I pull him onto the dance floor with me.
We are all dancing having a great time. Ruston follows Alex like a lost puppy all night, Konrad and Solon found some cheerleaders from their class to dance with. As I'm looking around that's when I notice no one from Bloodrose pack is here. Maybe that's this party is so fun and lively. I start to feel hot and the load music was making my head pound. I'm dancing with Blake and Alex. I stop and point to the slider door, "I'm gonna get some air!" I yell over the music Alex and Blake just nod and keep dancing away. I wiggle my way threw the crowd to the patio. As soon as I step out I'm hit with cigarette smoke. I cough and wall to the far end of the patio to try and get away. I look out to the forest, thinking of that howl again wondering if he's still out there. As I look out to the forest, I feel a pull to go run. My wolf begs to go into the forest. A quick run wouldn't hurt I think to my self.
I go back into the apartment and quickly as I can wiggle threw the people. I go the long away to avoid my friends and brothers knowing they would stop me. I didn't want to be stoped or worry them. I just had to get out into the forest. I press the button for the elevator and wait. Finally it reaches the floor and doors open. I'm in such a hurry I'm not paying attention and run straight into someone. "Oh I'm so sorry," I start to apologize then I notice it's Jake, "Jake, what are you doing here, I thought you where in the party?" "I was but Jax needed something from me so had to run it down to him. What you doing out here? Your not leaving yet are you?" Jake seemed nervous about something then disappointment filling his eyes, he thought I was leaving. "No I was just going for fresh air. Patio full of smokers so..." I trail off. "Oh okay. I'll see you when you come back up." His voice danced with excitement as he walked back to the party. I quickly jump on the elevator and press the 1st floor. It feels as if it's taking forever for the elevator to reach the bottom. As soon as it does and the doors open, I run out. I run threw the front doors to the forest. At the forest edge I stop, my wolf going crazy in my head. I look at the forest infront of me, it's calling me. I hear the music from the party behind me reminding me of why I'm really here. I shake my head and I'm about to turn to leave when I hear something. My eyes snap to where the sound came from, my whole body coming alive waiting for what made the noise. Then I see him. My mate! The one Alex's spell showed me. He was huge! His snow white fur stood out from the trees. Then their was his eyes, so blue and locked on me. I couldn't move, I took a breath and that's when his scent hit me. He smelled like fresh rain after a huge storm. The wolf took a step forward, scenting the air. Then he shifted, I watched him go from wolf to human. Pulling on the shorts that where hidden next to him, he looked me. I couldn't pull my eyes away. I slowly draged my eyes up from his well defined chest. His piercing blue eyes locked on me, I fidgeted under his heated look. His hair dark black that was longer on top shorter on the side. We both stood there looking at one another not saying a thing. In the distance a flock of birds take of disrupting the trance we both seem to be under. We both speak at the same time, saying the one word that will change everything.... "Mate!"
