CHAPTER 52

SIA
I have spent a few days here with Carter. He has been very wonderful and good to me. He has helped me a lot including overcoming my fears and troubles. He does have a strong healing power thay has helped me for the past few days I came here. I opened the lid of the wooden out he's using to cook outside the cabin.
The cabin is not big, he made a sheds in front of the house where he cooks with woods and fore. This is a an old stuff that I haven't seen before, I thought they only used this at military camps. Also, considering our nature and the kind of place he is living the. It is understandable that he's using that.
"This smells good." He said coming towards me. In his hands on another deer which I don't know there he got from. I mean he's do good at hunting that he always comes back home with something at least.
I never learnt to hunt well. My dad stopped training me in anything the moment I shifted. He used to teach me a few things and promised to train me when I finally shift. Well, sadly it was the worst day of my life. Everything changed drastically for me.
"Yeah. It is, there's not much flavor but this is so simple we would be having a great meal." I replied with a smile.
"It's good to have a companion like you. Things have been so easy for me the moment you can't into my life. Thanks a lot." He said.
I scoffed, "You are being too melodramatic you know. You sound like my boyfriend."
He chuckled, "Would you like me to be your boyfriend?"
"Eeew, no! Thanks for the offer but I have reject it." I moved away.
I heard him laugh, I ended up with a smile too. He always knows how to make a joke from something. I wonder how long he has been living here all alone. He didn't even bother to get our of this place even if he has the ability to leave here. I wonder if he's ever had a girlfriend before too, has he found his mate yet?
"Carter, why haven't you gone out of here to search for your mate? Do you plan to live alone for the rest of your life?" I asked him.
His mate would probably be alone now waiting for him to discover her, or probably she's going out with the wrong person. Just like Kevin has done before, that's the mistake he has committed that has caused all this trouble.
"I don't have one." He shrugged unconcerned.
I frowned, "What do you mean you don't have one? Everyone has one, even humans. Vampires, werewolves, witches all have their life partners. Yours is probably doing the wrong thing now, don't you think?"
"Whoever that is, should move on with her life. I am not interested in things like that, I told you I want to be away from everyone." He replied bluntly, then he went into the cabin to avoid talking about it.
I wonder what had made him change his mind about everyone. I thought he only hated humans, guess he hates people in general. But then, I want to know his back story. I also want to know where all his family went, why a powerful person like him is scared to face the world. I'll stop talking about this for now, I'll ask him when he's in a good mood. He has been good to me, I think I'm the first person he would allow to stay with him.
My mind drifted to Kevin, he must be searching the entire world for me. He must be turning everywhere upside down to find me, perhaps he would also go to my father's place. I miss him, I have to do this to protect our baby. I don't know if the spell I cast on the doctor would wear off and he would tell them everything. I touched my belly as if I can see the baby, knowing I am going to have one gives me so much joy. I never thought I would have a baby this early, now I have a lot of responsibilities to shoulder.
When I got into the cabin, Carter was sitting close to window looking outside. I feel guilty, maybe what I asked is the reason why he's like this.
"Carter?" I called, but got no response.
I slowly walked towards him, "Carter." I touched his shoulder and turned him around.
I moved back in terror, his eyes are red and his fangs are out. I moved away from him immediately, he stood up and started coming towards me. I tried to get the door but it's stuck, I stood against the door closing my eyes. I don't want to attack him, yet it seems I'm going to die if I don't do something. What has come over him? It seems he doesn't have control over himself.
"Carter... Can you please snap out of it?" I said to his deaf ears.
I waited for the first attack from him but got nothing. I slowly opened my eyes only to meet his icy blue eyes staring down at me, with his lips curved in a smile. What? He almost gave me a heart attack and he's smiling?
"I scared you right?" He asked.
My eyes are glued to his, why is he so good looking? My eyes moved to his plump pink lips, I closed my eyes to snap out of it. When did I start drooling over Carter? Kevin is still waiting for you, remember? I pushed him off, I moved away with a fake cough.
"Of course not, you don't scare me one bit." I scoffed proudly.
He folded his arms, "Are you sure of that?"
I nodded, "Yes. I am not scared of..." His eyes turned red again, "Stop it Carter!" I yelled at the top of my voice. My voice echoed through the trees making the birds fly away.
His eyes turned normal and he began to laugh. I wanted to punch him in the face.
"Stop laughing!" I yelled embarrassed.
"You said you're not scared, but you almost pulled down the forest." He mocked.
"Whatever, I'm going to do this to you again." I threatened him. He only chuckled and sat down, I also sat down beside him.
"Why did you suddenly turn like that? You could have given me a heart attack, I am..."
"Pregnant? I know." He cut me off.
I rolled my eyes, "Of course you know everything about me."
"I used to be unable to control my powers but now I can. I only wanted to scare you, I become like that whenever I get sad." He admitted.
"You're sad? Is it what I said earlier?" I asked him, already feeling guilty.
Just great Sia, can you not cause trouble wherever you go!
"I don't blame you for that. I know it is your curiosity, I already read your thoughts before you said it out. I don't have a family anymore, I lost them to the cruel hands of the werewolf packs." He said.
"Werewolf packs?"
"Yes. My family was different. We had witches, werewolves and Vampires. They aren't discriminating and could be with any species. I am the only one who had the powers of everyone all together. That's the only reason I survived the attack. It's all because of me. The greedy pack Leaders all wanted me, because of my abilities for their own selfish interest..."
"My family refused to give me away. So they took it upon themselves to attack my family and take me away. They set them ablaze, my parents already hid me when they had gut feelings. They told me never to come back if they don't come back for me by dawn. I never saw them again, they also told me to hide myself from the world and do everything to survive. I lived with wild animals all my life, I am lucky not to be dead by now."
Oh wow. This is worse than my experience. I feel so sorry for him, it must have been very traumatic for him.
"I don't know what to say. I'm sorry for making you say this, you must have been trying to hold it in all these years." I said touching his shoulder.
"It's fine. I feel at ease knowing I can finally talk to someone. I have been alone for too long." He replied with a smile.
Why does he always have to find a way to smile in every situation? I feel like he's too pure for this world, the pack leaders have been terrible to him. My mind drifted to Kevin, could it be that he or his father have anything to do with it? Why hasn't Carter ever taken revenge on them? Is he not thinking of avenging his family or does he not have the heart to do it?
Perhaps he is afraid he would get caught and they'll have their way with him.
"Your mate's not one of them, neither is his father. As for revenge, I have no interest taking revenge. They're all dead after all, those people involved already met with karma." He said after reading my mind.
"Quit reading my thoughts you jerk!" I snapped at him.
He laughed, I feel a bit better that he's laughing. He has been through worse things than me yet he never gave up. I suddenly perceived the smell of something.
"What's that smell?" I asked him.
"I don't know. Could it be the food?"
My eyes widened, "The food!"
I ran out of the cabin to check on the food. It's half cooked and half burnt. I tried bringing the pot down, but it burnt my hand.
"Carter!" I yelled loudly.
He came out of the cabin in a flash, he saw my scalded hand. He kicked the pot away making all the content of the pot pour on the floor.
"What! Why did you do that?"
"I thought you called for help, I just helped you." He shrugged.
Helped! He just wasted my efforts!
"I spent all day making that food. All you had to do is kick all my hard work away!" I growled at him.
"Whoa, calm down. I can fix that." He swirled his fingers, the pot went back to it's old position with the food still intact. Great! He reversed his actions with magic, it's annoying but impressive.
"What a show off." I rolled my eyes.
•••••
"KEVIN!!!" I screamed loudly jerking from the bed. I just had a terrible nightmare about Kevin. Robin! He has to beware of Robin!
Carter rushed to me, "Relax, it's just a dream..."
"Nightmare!" I snapped at him.
"Sorry, nightmare. But then, it is an actual revelation of what would happen in future." He told me.
I squeezed my face, "What?! That can't happen. I can not let Robin kill him. I have to do something, I have to warn him."
He sighed, "Going out now would only put you in more danger. Not just you, but the entire WhiteMoon pack. You should be careful."
He's right. Kevin may not believe me, then Robin would have his way. He would harm me, Kevin and everyone else. Why is that man always evil from the day he was born I can't believe he is related to Kevin who has a good heart.
"Can you help me?" I asked him the most difficult question ever.
He stared at me blankly, I know I have said the wrong thing. Sometimes I should just keep my stupid mouth shut.
"Sorry I mentioned that. Just forget I..."
"Yes. I'll go for you, it's getting close enough and he doesn't have time. He needs to get a hint of what is about to happen to him. I will do that and come back." He said surprising me.
I hugged him happily, "Thank you so much Carter! You're one in a million. Thank you."
