Chapter 9 - Greyson

Great.

Of Course she didn't let me just walk away, somehow and I wouldn't want to explain…. She got me to shift and walk with her and the little boy. Forently I have clothes hidden close by, at least I still had my dignity. The boy, whose name was Shane, was asleep. So me at this mystery woman had all the time to talk. Not that I wanted to have small talk with her.

Still not knowing her name, I scanned over her features. She looked around in her mid thirties, around five-foot six with raven black hair and pale almost vampierish skin. Not seeing any bold eye colors she probably wasn't a vampire. With dark brown doe-like eyes, her eyes reflected their surroundings making them look black as the night sky.

Her hair was shiny and styled, not looking like a sister or a nun. Looking around her mid-thirties. Maybe it was a part-time job? Probably not, people who serve the church usually stay for life. A cover maybe.

The woman was walking to the point I was showing her, apparently where 'the twins' are.

I continued my curious stare, examining her trying to figure her out.

"You're staring." She hissed, shooting me an annoyed glare.

I scoffed. "You're accusing me, I think my staring is allowed" Allowing a hiss of my own to slip in.

We continued to walk to the point where these so-called twins blacked out. The walk was not long but for some reason we slowed our pace. My mouth tastes vile like something crawled in and died, a migraine slowly showing its signs.

We weren't just walking slowly, she was doing something. She wasn't human after all, but I still couldn't wrap my head around it. Then it stopped, the vile taste, the migraine, literally everything. It's just gone.

"We're here." Was all she said.

*Jasmine*

The darkness slowly turned grey as smoke, I opened my eyes engulfing myself in this world full of smoke. Almost like the sea, I was flouting, swaying my arms and legs just to stay in one spot.

Then I heard something…then again, then again! Though I wasn't scared, I was calm almost even. Slowly identifying the sound, it was banging, no its like stomping through leaves as well as snow in a pattern that isn't too docile nor slow.

Soon I started to drift, the sound like a gentle song put my mind at ease.

Then..I fell.

*Avaline*

The twins were fine…but not fine at the same time. Physically

There, just in a sleep-like form, their subconscious was the problem. It was awaking, at first I was happy and proud. Then dread dawned on me that this may make them have a harder life. Either way they were going through this, if they wanted it to happen or not.

That still left me with the elephant in the room, or should I say wolf.

"Well greyson, do you know what this means?" I mused.

He thought and looked towards his feet, "This is all my fault?" he responded, still staring at his feet.

I sighed, "Yes and No."

He looked up, he grew taller so looking at me he still had to move his head.

"Let me explain." was simply all I said
