Chapter 2 - 2: Starting the Adventure

Kelsey's P.O.V.

As I slept, I had a dream that was very vivid and seemed like it wasn't a dream at all.

DREAM (obviously..)

I was with this guy that I have never seen or met before, wandering around what looked like New York, why am I dreaming about NY? This dude looked at me with so much love and affection it was crazy. Am I even me right now cause.. I'm already taken thanks. Despite knowing that I could feel my heart racing a mile a minute when he looked at me. I saw us get to my old school and talk to one of my old teachers and was incredibly confused, well... more confused than before.

".. we used to have a student named um.. Kelsey Rose." the teacher told us. .... What the hell, why— hold up a minute... Is someone looking for me? Why the crap is this stranger and whoever I apparently am looking for ME? I don't even know who they are, what the hell. The next thing I saw was us in a hotel room talking, me feeling really pissed for some reason.

The guy gave me an amused smile and told me, "It's okay Quetzal, we'll find her. Now lets go to sleep and start again in the morning." What the fuck does Quetzal mean? I ended up going into the bathroom, presumably to get ready for bed, and saw my reflection in the mirror. Except who I saw, was in fact not me. I was a girl that looked similar to me, she was about my height and wore all black and looked like a supreme badass. She had hip length, reddish brown hair like I used to have before I dyed it purple, and she had vibrant green eyes. I thought Drake's were beautiful but.. hers are so mesmerizingly gorgeous green they make his look dull. The girl looked almost exactly like me except for the green eyes and looking like a badass, also obviously the hair but that doesn't entirely count since mines dyed and almost always straightened. Least that explains why that guy was constantly looking at me like he loves me to death, whoever these people are they are clearly made for each other just from one look at him and how this chic's heart exploded because of it. But.. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE AND WHY ARE THEY TRYNA FIND ME?

~end of dream~

I awoke and sat up in bed glaring at the wall across from me, waking Drake up in the process.

"What's wrong Kel?" My mate asked tiredly, not opening his eyes and only rolled over.

"I just had the most vivid dream of my life about this chic that looks almost exactly like me and some guy that's destined to be romantically with her forever." I answered, still glaring at the wall.

"And what were they doing in this super vivid dream?" He sleepily questioned.

"They were at my old school talking to one of my old teachers asking if I went to that school and it sounded like they're trying to find me. Then they were in a hotel room and she was all frustrated or something and the guy told her it's fine and called her Quetzal whatever the fricken shit that is and told her they'll find me and they should go to sleep to start again in the morning." Drake didn't answer for a minute so I glanced over.

He took a huge breath and replied, "That was a lot of words." I sighed in annoyance at my mate and crossed my arms.

"Did you even listen to any of it?" I asked, frustrated.

He finally opened his eyes and looked at me, then answered, "Of course I listened. It's just that it was only a dream and it's four in the morning so I'm tired. Probably just a weird figment of your imagination, nothing to worry about."

"But—"

"Did it look or sound like they're going to kidnap and/or kill you?" He interrupted my but.

I growled, "No. But—"

"Then it's nothing to worry about now is it?" I huffed in anger and grumpily agreed. I angrily laid back down, glaring up at the ceiling. "Go back to sleep beautiful, we can talk about it more in the morning after more sleep okay?" Drake said, wrapping his arms around me and cuddling up to me. I sighed and cuddled back and slowly fell asleep once more.

When I woke up again, the sun was blinding me. I grumbled and tried pulling the blanket over my face, sadly it didn't work cause Drake was laying on too much of it for me to be able to pull it over my head. I whined at him and tiredly tried pulling some more but of course it still didn't work.

"MMmmm you fat ass.... Get off the fuckin blanket..." I sleepily growled at my mate who wouldn't fuckin wake up. After maybe two minutes I gave up and just lay there, slowly waking up from being blinded. I sighed which seemed to finally wake him up, not that it matters now.

"Mmm... You awake already Kelsey?" Drake asked sleepily with his eyes still closed.

I huffed and answered, "Only cause your fat ass is hogging the blanket by laying on it making me unable to shield my poor tired eyeballs from the burning bright sun shining through your damn window."

"Too many words again, I'm going back to sleep." Drake responded, making himself more comfortable.

I obnoxiously laughed and said, "Oh no you're not. You made me be awake you're fuckin staying awake with me now."

"And how do you plan on keeping me awake?" My mate teasingly retorted.

I smirked and answered, "Easy. I'll jump on you, roll on you, bounce all over the place, tickle you and scream in your face till you are too awake to go back to sleep."

He slowly blinked his eyes open then said, "Jesus christ.... Do that and you'll wake the entire fricken country." I gave an innocent smile. He sat up since he knows I will go through with what I said if he tried going back to sleep.

"Smart choice." I smirked at him, earning a tired playful glare in return. I sat up as well then got out of bed and got dressed. "Come OOOOOONNNN already! I wanna start our adventure!! Hurry uuuuuup and get ready to leave!" I nagged my mate who was still sitting, waking up. He chuckled at me and slowly got out of bed as well and got dressed. We headed down to the dining hall for breakfast. After eating—for myself I mean wolfing the food down in like five seconds—we left and shifted into wolves. I've figured out how to change the size of mine so that I'm not always a giant wolf. Cause... as great as I was at hiding it, that crap seriously HURT. We ran to my house and shifted back once we got there. I opened the front door and walked in, Drake right behind me. I sniffed around for where my mom was and her scent was strongest in the direction of the kitchen.

"Hey mom." I greeted as I stepped into the room.

"Hi Kelsey. What are you doing home so early, and on a no school day?" She answered, teasing a little.

"Mom, I need to go to your old kingdom." I ended up blurting, probably due to being sick and tired of her roundabout answers from her not wanting me to go there for whatever reason.

She looked a little taken aback but quickly recovered and replied, "Probably should have seen that coming these past few months I suppose.. *Sigh* You'll be wanting to go to Trealle, I know a couple and their two kids have taken over the thrown in our absence but you are still the rightful heir. They're quite rude too... so the people will be pleased that they're getting replaced at some point." 

"That's perfect, at my kingdom we're having a big Christmas ball. We can stay there, and obviously go. You're welcome to come too Jane." Drake piped up.

She smiled and nodded, replying, "I'd love to!"

I smiled and said, "Okay, thank you mom. We'll be back to pick you up on Christmas Eve. Love you." I gave my mom a long hug, knowing she's going to worry about me the entire time even if I defeated the most powerful, evil werewolf ever known.

"I love you too sweetie, be safe out there okay?" She worriedly said, sounding completely like a mom. I gave her a reassuring smile, as did Drake, and we said our byes then went to my room to pack a few things.

I mainly just packed a couple outfits and my brush, well... until my mate pointed out to me, "We're going to the like medieval world," I gave him a puzzled look because I don't have brain cells apparently, so he added, "which means we're going to be wearing medieval type clothes, so packing your own clothes is a little pointless." Drake chuckled at the end, and laughed when I sighed and stared dejectedly at my packed clothes. I unpacked all but one outfit and a pair of pj's, just in case since you never know till you live through it.

"Okay lets go. ...wherever we're even going." I said, still unsure of how to get to this 'medieval world'.

Drake seemed to sense that and said in amusement, "There's a portal not far from here, that's how we get there." I made the 'Ahhh" face and threw my backpack over my shoulder and went onto my balcony.

"Lead the way." I dramatically said to my mate. He chuckled and ran in my direction then jumped off the balcony shifting before landing, pf show off. I playfully rolled my eyes down at him and threw my bag as high as I could and ran, jumped off, did a somersault, shifted into a hawk despite the pain and grabbed my bag midair. I flew down to land on the ground beside my mate who was giving me the same look I had given him, but fifty times more playfully annoyed than me. I just shook my feathers at him, went back up to my balcony to close the doors, came down and shifted into my wolf, grabbing my bag in my mouth. We then set off towards this portal I never knew about. After about five minutes of running we reached it and shifted back to human form.

I swung my bag back over my shoulder as Drake explained, "This will take us to my castle in Liakith. There we can get some proper clothes. It's also going to temporarily change your hair to what it naturally is, just cause this place won't have the fancy, snazzy hair dye we have here." Well now I was dreading going through here, I haven't had my natural hair since like grade eight or nine. This is kind of stressful. Nevertheless Drake somehow opened the hidden portal and took my hand. We jumped through together, my stress still very much there.
