Chapter 5 - You just need to be you!

"So you don't believe in dreams anymore!!??" Elijah said those words while reclining on a door.

"Elijah what are you doing here?" Camille by turning her face towards him, asked if she wasn't expecting him.

A handsome man wearing a hoodie, tall and a warm smile, and a rare friend impossible to find. Camille had a bestfriend that she never wanted to replace and his name was Elijah.

"Someone told me that you were upset so I got here as soon as possible" Elijah replied her.

"Etalia!!!!" Camille looked at her with exhaustion.

"What? I thought you needed your best friend, so I called him" Etalia by giving her explanation, left Camille with Elijah.. "Ok love! John is waiting for me, I have to go, don't forget to eat and Elijah make sure, she gets home safely".

"Ok but why does she act like our mom?" Camille asked. Instead of saying anything, Elijah looked at her with a warm gaze and asked her "How are you?".

Camille while watching him answered his question"I am fineee.…Did you find her?" she asked.

"Who?" he asked.

"Ofcourse your mate!!! You dumb" Camille replied with a confused face.

Elijah smiled for an instant and looked directly into her eyes"I am not the one who will find her" as soon as he answered, he asked Camille another question"Don't tell me you're upset because you're the only werewolf girl left in our pack who hasn't found her mate".

Camille smiled and told him that" its not something thats on my mind these days but I guess a part of me wants this to happen".

As they were walking down the street together at night, Camille asked Elijah as if there is anyone in our pack with a hetrochromia and Elijah stopped for a minute and started looking towards her in a stunned way. "Why do you ask?" as Elijah while standing there asked her. Camille came close to him and told him that she had a dream about a guy with a hetrochromia.

"Idiot I know there is no one in the pack with a hetrochromia…haha just look at your face. it seems you've seen a ghost" Camille punched him and was laughing while making fun of him.

"Then why did you ask" he asked her with a grinning face.

"I wanted to tell you that I'm going to find him, a guy with a hetrochromia" Camille turned towards him and told him in a sober manner.

"Then I will be wishing you best of luck " as they both reached. Elijah with a warm smile on his face, told her "here's your home, so I should be taking a leave now".

Camille gets inside, while Elijah standing there and looking at the door of her apartment, and after sometime, he started walking towards his own place.

As Camille got inside, the memories of her childhood were all on her mind. She was thinking about Elijah. They way he lead his life when he was a kid.

"Kick his ass, this weakling..this weirdo… a disappiontment for his own pack" the school bullies while beating Elijah. Camille whlie taking half of the class with her, to protect her best friend from the bullies was running to beat them up. "You lil shits, come fight us all, if you have the guts" while standing in front of Elijah, she was provoking them.

"He is not able to protect himself from any trouble. He's just a weakling" the bullies.

"Say another word and I'll make you regret it" Camille told them while holding a branch of a tree.

".Are you trying to be his mom?…Oh I forgot his mom ran away with another pack's alpha…Elijah you don't have a mommy hahaha" one of the bullies were crossing the line in a shameful way.

By hearing those words, Camille started to beat them up while everyone was there, watching her. At the end those bullies ran for their lives.

Camille sat with Elijah for a moment and told him that" if you won't fight back, they'll keep doing this with everyone, they'll find weak. So you have to get up, not for yourself, but for them". Camille hold his hand and gave him a warm hug while saying "You are not weak, you're just you".

As Elijah was lying on his bed, he started smiling because those words were wandering in his head, which Camille said at that time.
