Chapter 7 - 7: Found her!

Skye

After awhile we had left the ice cream place and headed out to continue looking for my sister who's in danger. A week after starting our sister search, we ended up in Yorba Linda. One of the weirdest names I've ever heard, I'm just saying. We wandered around aimlessly trying to find a school or maybe a popular teen hangout place, an hour or so later we went into this chill looking restaurant. It was seat yourself so we sat down at the bar type seats, you know the ones that are just one long counter with a bunch of tall chairs on one side. I ended up having to sit next to this guy in black ripped jeans and black t-shirt, he looked our age and nice/my vibe of person just judging from his attire. Not talkin to him though, that'd be weird. I don't start conversations with strangers unless I have to for my job.

A lady came up and asked what we would like to drink, Dylan and I answered, "coke please," unfortunately at the same time.

She chuckled and said, "what a cute couple," as she started walking away. My cheeks ended up puffing up in anger as I crossed my arms and huffed at her comment, Dylan of course chuckled at me. I rolled my eyes then decided to look at the.... plastic covered paper thing and choose something to eat.

"FUCK YEAH CHICKEN WINGS!" (had accidentally hit o instead of I on that... so this was originally "FUCK YEAH CHICKEN WONGS!" please tell me I'm not the only one who laughed my ass of at that =/ ...) I exclaimed probably a tad bit too loud. A few people turned to look at who was so excited about chicken wings but, the master actress I am pretended it wasn't me and made everyone confused. The guy beside me knew it was me however and continued giving me weird looks.

I ignored him and said to Dylan, "I know what I'm having."

Dylan smiled and replied teasingly sarcastic and amused, "Oh really? Couldn't tell."

I playfully glared at him and lightly smacked his arm and fake growled, "Shut up." He just laughed in response, causing me to start laughing a little as well. The lady came back with our drinks and took our orders, Dylan got a good sounding pizza. I shall steal a bite. Or whole slice... Depends. While we waited I started remembering that dream from a week ago and heaved a huge sigh.

Dylan was watching one of the T.V. screens but looked at me and asked, "what's wrong Quetzal?" I sighed again and face-planted the counter top in front of me.

I started repeatedly hitting my head against it and said frustrated, "We need*bang*. To find*bang*. Kelsey. *Bang*"

"Don't worry Quetzal, we'll find her. How many times do I have to remind you." Dylan comforted, adding some amusement. I gently sighed again and kept my face on the table.

"I'm really sorry, I don't mean to eavesdrop but um... who are you looking for..?" guy beside me asked.

I lifted my head and slightly glared suspiciously but answered, "Kelsey Rose. Why?"

His eyes widened in surprise and he said, "That's my friend since like first grade. Why are you looking for her if I may ask?"

"That's classified. But I can promise we want and need to help her. Do you know where she is?" I responded in my professional spy voice.

"I do know where she is, can't really take you there though." The guy answered simply, taking a sip of his drink.

I glared and demanded, "Why not?"

He chuckled a bit, put his glass back down and replied, "Because one; not sure if you know of the place or not, two; how do I know you're not secretly planning to kill her and three; I don't know how to get there, they've never invited me or brought me along."

I sighed exasperated and threw my head back at the same time and retorted, "I'd love to tell you the full reason of why we're trying to find her but it's something I need to tell her first alright? So tell us where she is."

He raised an eyebrow and said, "I'll tell you, after you're done eating." I furrowed my brows then saw the waitress coming with our food from the corner of my eye.

I huffed and muttered, "Fine. I'm Skye by the way."

"And I'm her boyfriend Dylan."

I whipped around and scoffed, "Okay honestly, I don't know how much more that I can take. You gotta tell fucking everyone that? If all anyone does is assume we're a couple anyway then why's that fuckin matter? I don't get it. You fuckin guys and your possessive ball hormones. Jesus." I then rolled my eyes.

"The hell voice was that?" Dylan laughed. I had said the first sentence in a slightly weird voice because of the song I got it from.

"Uh, a voice that perfectly mimics the one singing the song I quoted. Duh." I retorted, rolling my eyes again. 

The guy beside me chuckled with Dylan and said, "You guys do look like a really good couple. Oh, my name's Jason, and don't worry man I ain't gonna try to steal your girl or anything. I've got my own ma—girlfriend, plus stealing is just plain wrong..."

We both squinted suspiciously at Jason and Dylan asked, "You were going to say mate weren't you?"

Jason looked extremely surprised but answered, "Yes... I was... After what happened with Kelsey I wasn't sure if I should say something about you smelling like a shapeshifter."

We gave quizzical looks then I asked, "What do you mean, after what happened with Kelsey?"

"Oh, her mom never told her what she was so she didn't know till she met her mate Drake and almost got killed by a demon. Thought you wouldn't know since you were away from your mom your whole life." Now it was my turn to have pure surprise on my face.

"Wha.... How'd you fucking know who my mother might be?" I started confused then growled a little defensively.

"Easy. You look exactly like Kelsey did before she dyed her hair purple, actually before.... nevermind. You guys look the exact same. I may not have seen her look like that for a few years but I still remember what my best friend looks like. Aside from the eye color... That's the only difference appearance wise." I was completely baffled.

"The fuck..?" I said, not really to anyone, surprised I was actually right about my drawing before. I then shook my head, continued to pretend I never drew something to do with the word mate years ago and asked, "What the shit is a mate? I've heard that term several times what the hell does it mean?"

Jason furrowed his brows and questioned, "You don't know what mate means?"

"If you were Australian it'd make sense, but since you're not no I don't know what it means." I replied, crossing my arms.

"Geez... How do you know you're a shapeshifter and not know what a mate is? Werewolves, like me, can only be mates with either another werewolf or a shapeshifter. In my case another werewolf, but it's pretty much the same for shapeshifters, you can only be mates with either a fellow shifter or a werewolf. Like Kelsey, she's a shifter and has a werewolf mate. Do you kinda get it now?" he finally explained.

"Kinda..? Not really. You're terrible at explaining things Jason." I replied, turning forward and started eating my wings (almost said wongs again god damn).

Jason chuckled and responded, "Now you sound like Kelsey too."

"Is that what that fuckin smell is though? Been wondering why I smell dog, glad to know it's your fault apparently." I ended up blurting.

Dylan laughed, "you sure it isn't Roxie? The actual dog here?"

Jason just slightly gawked at me before responding, "Uh... wolf, would be.. the accurate name for the... smell... but yeah sure, that's me I guess." I snorted and turned to my food. We all sat and ate, was quite friggin delicious food I have to say, though one thing was a little off about his explanation there.

Once we were finished and were waiting for our checks I looked over at Jason and said, "Alright. We're done eating, now tell us where Kelsey is."

"Alright, ever hear of a place called Trealle?" 

My heart dropped slightly, out of both shock and anger which made me slightly growl, "Duh, it's where my parents raised me then threw me into this world. Why? Is that where she is?"

"Well... I know that's where she was going but her mates kingdom is uh... Liakith, n—"

"Next door I know. Lived beside it for five years dude. Geez. So is that where I'd most likely find her or do I need to pay my stupid parents yet another visit?" I interrupted, anxious to finally find my sister after all these years.

"Yeah, it probably is the more likely place you'll find her, but you need a portal or something to get there and I have no idea where one is. They all fucking ditched me... again..." Jason replied then muttered to himself.

I looked to Dylan and then back at Jason and said, "Follow us. Well.. You know after we pay for our food..." The waitress finally came back over and we paid for our meals and headed out. Dylan and I found a fairly hidden place and turned around to face Jason who still looked lost and confused.

"What are we doing here? Is there a portal here or something?" he asked, very puzzled. Dylan and I shared a smirk as I pulled out my device thing, geez you'd think being such a smart person I'd have a name for it by now, and made a portal to directly in front of Liakith castle. We looked back at Jason who's mouth dropped open in awe.

"Now there is." Dylan answered his previously asked question.

"Come on Roxie!" I called to my puppy dog as I ran through the portal I made, Jason following with Dylan right behind him. Just like I wanted, we landed right in front of the castle.

I turned and after Dylan was through I closed the portal and asked Jason, "Alright. Where to now info man?"

He chuckled slightly and replied, "Sounding even more like Kelsey. Uh, maybe this way? I don't know, I've never been here before remember?"

I then remembered, "Oh yeah we should change our clothes so we don't stick the fuck out."

Jason gave me a puzzled expression again and started asking, "How are we g—" I stopped him by pulling out clothes from my magic bag and handing them to him, then I handed Dylan his set and pulled out my own.

"You guys go change over there and wait." I ordered them, Dylan pretended to bow just to bug me. When he looked back up at me his eyes glowed with amusement, it made my heart feel weird again but I gave a tiny smile and playfully glared at him then turned around and found my own secluded place to change. Once I finished and had my shoes stuffed into my bag with my old clothes, I went to the spot I told them to go and found them waiting for me. They handed me their old clothes and I put them in my bag, Jason looked like his mind was gonna explode. I just shook my head and walked inside the castle, apparently werewolf kings don't need guards. Pf. I found the throne room and saw a guy sitting on the throne flipping through stuff.

"Hey Mr. S! Glad to finally see your castle man. Pretty fancy." Jason called to the guy, making his head snap up to look at us.

"Jason? How did you...? Oh nevermind, who are your new friends?" The man asked with a deepish voice. Since I already told our new buddy Jason that Trealle is mine I didn't bother playing peasant and only dipped my head slightly to the guy.

"Hello sir, I'm Skye. This is Dylan and we've been searching for Kelsey, could you please tell us where she is?" I politely said/asked.

He squinted unsure at first but answered, "Up those stairs, fourth door on your left." I dipped my head again and we turned and followed his directions. I gave myself a tracking dogs sense of smell and picked up on what I'm guessing is my sisters scent, was slightly difficult to track though because of Dylan's scent (again) but whatever. Her scent kept getting stronger as we followed where we were told and reached a door that looked like a prince's kind of door. I started having a mini heart attack, what if she hates me? What if she doesn't want me in her life at all? Ugh stop being stupid Skye and just knock on the damn door. Cue Olaf questioning why Anna isn't knocking. I knocked and the three of us waited for the door to be opened. Soon enough it did and we were greeted by some guy and—big shocker!—my sister Kelsey.
