you are now,” he said stopping in front of me.
“I don’t know if I can. I feel different; I guess I look freaky with my eyes, fangs and claws. But I am just not sure if I can go back to how I was. I liked the little circle I had, I had come to like my life. Now there is all of this,” I waved my hand out around us.
“This is not permanent; it is just a place for you to stay while the heat cools off. It can also be a place you want to come back to, a home of sorts. Alternatively, I can build you a home somewhere else. It doesn’t matter where. People care about you, I care about you. We just want you safe,” he said placing his big warm hand on my shoulder.
I turned and looked at it. I had that touch once, I had embraced it when I was scared and confused. It had comforted me and made me feel safe. I tried to let it have that same effect.
“I understand, but I also want to have a normal life or at least some kind of normal. I want to go to college,” I replied simply.
“And you can; you have a few weeks before courses start. It should be long enough for Nikkee to have a handle on things. Sky is doing quite well, like yourself. There are things you can do. You just have to be careful.”
“Will you be there?” I asked.
“I won’t be far away,” was all he replied.
Chapter Thirteen
I waited outside until Nikkee came back. Garth and I were sitting on the ground in the short grass. We didn’t talk about much while we waited. I mainly wanted to sit there and enjoy the peace and quiet. Not that it was quiet. I could hear the grass moving and swaying slightly in the breeze, hear small animals and bugs flying around. The barn creaked and croaked with the cool night air. After calming myself, my nails slowly retracted back under my fingers. It wasn’t as painful as when they were coming out, but it still slightly stung as they made their way back under my skin. I didn’t know why it hurt so much that time compared to my other changes. Was it because of the sudden attack from the moon or the fight between vamp and wolf? I could still feel the sharp points of my teeth touching the bottom of my lip. I was actually quite surprised that I could talk normally with them, but it almost felt like they had been there my whole life. I only wish my nails felt the same way. The sudden change had hurt and yet other times I didn’t even know I had changed. Could it be my temper blocking it out?
I was still confused with the whole monster vs. monster saga. Steven had been fine talking to me, but the mention of me being with Jason made him seem angry about it. I knew it was because Jason was a werewolf. Did Steven think that I should be with a vampire instead? I thought back to Sky asking about my vampire side. I tried to think putting aside what I was feeling. I wondered if I could feel separate things between the two halves. Would I be able to pick one at a time or did I have to be all three regardless? And what would happen if I let the vampire side take over my wolf side? Will my feelings for Jason change?
A pain started in my chest at the thought of not being with him. Did my wolf and vampire side overrule my heart; was that still at least my own? If they wanted to fight with each other, what was I going to be able to do to tame both beasts? When Jason wasn’t near me it felt like I was leaving my heart open and exposed. Everything was so new especially with Jason. I felt like a freak and my heart was telling me that Jason deserved better, someone that didn’t think they were like a ticking time bomb. I felt like I was going to explode.
Nikkee and Lachlan finally made it back just before sunrise. She looked radiant with the new spring in her step she came running over to me and engulfed me in a hug.
“Oh my gawd, Trin, that was AMAZING!” she gushed, and then added, “I feel so alive. Every inch of my body feels like I am being zapped. I just can’t seem to sit still. I just ran and ran. It kind of
