Jeremy giggled for a few seconds before he got a grip of himself. He stared into Lena's eyes which told him words she didn't know of, it showed him wonders that he was scared to explore, it revealed to him the darkness he had installed in her soul, the tears that had run down her cheek daily because of him. Jeremy could no longer take it. He reached out to her, held her soft tender hands and then he let his heart out.
"Lena, I realized my actions were wrong. I should have never judged you, no one is perfect…"
"What are you talking about???" Lena asked. Lena wasn't sure if Jeremy was talking to her though he was staring at her but the words he spoke were strange to her.
"I know you don't understand now but you will soon" Jeremy reassured Lena. "You need to rest," Jeremy concluded the discussion. He helped Lane lay on her back.
When he turned around Mason was no were to be found. He assumed he went to get Lenas mum or something related.
It was already 6pm and school was over. Mason left Lena with Jeremy and left without them noticing, he drove to Ella's house he was sure she was the one behind what happened to Lena and he was willing to put an end to it.
"Ella!!!. Hey Maddie!Have you seen Ella??" Mason asked. Mason was furious.
"You can't barge into my parents house and shoot like an insane person" Ella screamed. "Mason??,hi darling I didn't know it was you" Immediately Ellas ' voices changed from harsh to sweet when she saw Mason.
"Ella, I never knew you were a snake!!" Mason shouted.
"What are you talking about???"
"Don't play dumb,what exactly did Lena do to you!!!"
"You think I was the one responsible for whatever happened to Lena??" Ella asked. She continued "I know I don't like her doesn't mean I would do that,I'm not a bad person Mason '' Ella cried. Tears rushed down her cheek like a waterfall. Ella sat on the couch with her hands over her face shielding Mason from seeing her while she sobbed.
"Ella are you okay???" Mason asked. He began to doubt himself. His head began to think back and forth 'what if she's saying the truth.she's even crying I don't think she did it I hope she can forgive me' Mason said in his head.
"I have never done such a thing before. Why would I now" Ella lied. She cried even harder.
"I'm sorry I wonder why I doubted my own girlfriend," Mason pleaded. Mason sat beside her,he tapped her back trying to calm her down but instead the tears increased. Mason begged her to raise her head but she kept on proving stubborn.
Mason pleaded with her for hours before she finally forgave him. Mason made sure before he left she already forgave him.
"Are we okay now???. I hope you're no longer mad at me??!" Mason asked in a subtle tone. His eyes down at his feet and his face sad for accusing his girlfriend for something she didn't do.
"Yes we're good. I already forgave you" Ella told Mason. She kissed him and persuaded him to go home and check on Lena since it was late.
"Okay babe bye I love you so much Ella!!" Mason replied. Mason took his leave and got into his car, sat for a while wondering who could have bitten Lena up. Then he drove home on the way he called Jeremy.
"Jeremy, are you guys still at your place??" Mason asked. Mason's eyes were fixed on the road and the cars in front of him as he spoke on the phone with Jeremy.
"No we aren't, I am taking her back home" Jeremy answered. Jeremy turned to look at Lena then he placed his arm over her tiny body. He drew her closer and covered her exposed body with his black larg coat.
Jeremy wasn't concerned with the driving; all he was concerned with was Lena and her health. The Uber driver used the map for directions.
They finally arrived. Jeremy came down from the car with Lena in his arms,he kicked the door closed and the driver drove away at his command. Lenas mum was seated outside looking worried.
"Hi dear madam" Jeremy greeted. He slightly bent his body in a sigh of gesture and respect then he immediately rose up so he didn't drop his precious mate which was laid in his arms with her eyes closed tight.
"Lena??!! What did you do to her?!!!" Lena's mother asked, flying up from her seat and lunching at Jeremy.
"I wouldn't dare hurt her, '' Jeremy replied. He went on to explain "she was bitten up by a set of no good miscreants at school though those responsible haven't yet been found more or less persecuted". Once more he bent.
Lenas mum offered him in, in a hurry she was eager to see how well her daughter was fairing. Jeremy walked into the house. He was shown her bedroom where he laid her on her bed. He stared at her for a minute or two before turning around to meet the eyes of her worried mother. She stared at Jeremy with fear and curiosity in her eyes but she didn't speak a word neither did Jeremy. He made a gesture and left the house. He met Mason outside waiting for him.
Early the next morning Lena was up and she struggled out of bed trying as much as possible not to make a sound but her cuts bit her. In the process she stunged her foot she was already in pain and this was an additional problem, Lena held the shits tears ran down her cheek, her lips twisted. She sat for a while then she got up to her feet despite the pain.
"Ahh!!!" Jeremy screamed he felt an excruciating pain on his left foot. He tried to wiggle it but it got worse. He stood up but couldn't walk on it then all of a sudden it was gone as quick as it came.
Jeremy knew something wasn't right if not with him then with his mate. He got off his bed in a hurry he rushed out of the house.faced the forest leading to Lena's house and ran towards it, he had a twenty seconds run before he transformed into a werewolf with pure silver fur, he was 2 times bigger than a regular dog and a wolf combined, his fangs were sharp so as his claws and his dark eyes.
Lena cried in agony. She didn't make a sound, the only thing she wanted was not to wake her mother or get her more worried than she already was.
Lena struggled to her feet she walked slowly but yet speedy her arms in front of her to grab the window frame and just then she fell.
Lenas eyes tightened as she embraced the ground but it never happened as she was cut by Jeremy.
"You know you could have hurt yourself!!''Jeremy said with a smirk revealing his fangs.
"Jeremy?!!"
"Can I atleast get a thank you!!" Jeremy asked with Lena still in his arms.
"Emm thank you!. How did you ?!,emm" Lena stammered.
"It's my duty as your mate," Jeremy told her.
Lena still didn't understand what this 'Mate' of a thing meant but that was the list of her worries. All she wanted right now was to see the sunrise like she did every day except for the last two days but she couldn't tell Jeremy or move. Jeremy moved her closer to the window right in time for her to see the Sunrise. She looked down to see Mason seated at her front yard staring at the sky.
Lena leaned on Jeremy who felt a chill as her skin collided with his.
"Are you strong enough to attend school today?!" Jeremy asked.
"Yes I am," Lena answered. She pulled herself from him and walked over to her bed and sat down she touched her feet for a while then she got up, went into her closet, pulled out an outfit and kept it on her bed she asked Jeremy to excuse her which he did without altering a word he simply left the room with his hands folded behind his back and his head held up.
Lena had a thirty minute bath, she got out of the bathroom after drying her body but her hair dripped water as she walked out. She wore a baggy brown hoodie and a jean trouser. Lena hardly wore makeup but today her face was a mess and it required it. She applied makeup,wore her shoes. She was about grabbing her bag to leave when she looked at the mirror and saw a huge mess. Her long wavy brown hair was like a jungle.
"This is gonna hurt", Lena inhaled. She picked up her Combe and worked on the tangles.once she was done she met Jeremy outside and the both headed to school together.
The day went back so quickly it was already the last class for the day. Ella and Mason just walked into the class.
"Good afternoon class" Mr Mathew greeted. He looked around the class and then he asked "where's Lena?!!"
"She's over here sir!!!" Jeremy answered.
The lecturer specially greeted Lena and started teaching.
All through the class Ella kept her head low,she tried to avoid Lena and Jeremy's gaze once the bell rang she rushed out of the class, Mason followed her and so did Lena and Jeremy.
"Ella what's wrong!??" Mason asked as he tagged on behind her.
Before Ella could reply Lena attacked her " why don't you tell him I bet he would love to know Ella!!"
"You should be at the hospital Lena!!" Ellas yalled walking faster.
"Well you didn't do a good job if that's what you were aiming for, maybe you would have punched harder and as well kicked me more!!"
"Bitch I didn't do anything to you!!!" Ella added walking out of their sight.
"Dem it!!,you're not gonna get away that easily" Lena ran toward where Ella headed. Behind her followed Confused Mason and Jeremy who was considered about his Mate.
Lena was out of their sight, Jeremy was starting to hate the feeling he had about this.
"Because you have Jeremy on your side you think you can talk rubbish about me ??!!" Ella said with rage in her voice.
Lena was alone with Ella once more; she was weak and couldn't fight back. She was beginning to regret her actions Lena felt she should have kept short and avoided Ella but she was in too deep to back down now she had no other option than to try her best to fight back. Lena was a mere human against a supreme being; she was surely never going to be able to win in such a fight.
Ella launched the first punch, Lena stargared and fell with her face in the ground Ella laughed.
"Ella??" Gasped Mason.
Ella was speechless. She froze up and she couldn't say a word to defend herself. Jeremy's eyes went dark again this time it burnt his mate Lena was laying in front of him in pain. Jeremy moved as fast as the speed of light he picked Ella up and nailed her on the wall. His hands held her neck with intensity she couldn't breath.
"Jeremy let go!!!" Lena cried. Lena tried to get up but she couldn't.
Jeremy left Ella immediately he heard Lena's voice. Ella fell to the ground. Jeremy held Lena and he cleaned the blood off the side of her mouth.
Jeremy moved Lena to his car in a matter of seconds he drove off to a hospital where Lena was admitted and treated immediately.
"How could you!!" Mason asked Ella.
"I am sorry!!.."Ella cried.
Mason was deeply irritated by her actions, he thought to himself how badly bitten his best friend was all because of his girlfriend. Ella held his foot begging him for his forgiveness. Mason moved his leg and looked at Ella with love, hate and disgusted eyes.
"I am so sorry Ella, that it had to end like this" wept Mason. Tears ran down his cheek, he immediately wiped them off Mason didn't believe a man was to cry in public.
"Mason please I hope it's not what I am thinking!!!?" Ella asked.
The bell rang , school was dismissed,students were relieved that the day was over,the hallway was crowded and many stopped to stare at Ella and Mason. As Ella saw them she got up and stood beside Mason she acted as though nothing was going on,but Mason wasn't ready for drama.
"It's over between us," Mason said. He walked out of her and out of school he got into his car and slammed the door. Mason drove back home. Then he called Jeremy but he was unavailable.
