Innocent Words

No lies bind me down

Samuel had just left after I had asked him to drop me off at the hotel.

As I walked up to the shiny automatic doors I couldn't help but pause to examine my reflection in the mirror.

My normally cool to the touch face, looked flushed and my hair looked untouched, sort of like it had a shine to it. My dimples had resembled a hole in the ground for after smiling so much tonight I wouldn't be surprised if they stayed like that for another day. My normally squinted eyes had opened into huge Lopez jewels as they shone brightly, almost outdoing the diamonds that decorated the outside

Of the hotel.

I resembled a girl in love. I stumbled back, away from my reflection. Could I really be in love with Samuel. At

The moment It hadn't occurred to me to ask Samuel what exactly 'we' were. Were we just friends, maybe he liked me as his sister. I shook my head, not after the kiss we shared. He had to like me more than that.

I sighed and raked my fingers through my hair, I was insanely tired. As I trudged over to the elevator I couldn't help but shiver when I stepped inside, the doors closing behind me. I backed up, leaning against the cold bar railing. What more could my life have to offer. It was bad enough getting all of these twists and turns. Hadn't I been through enough.

The doors dinged open, to soon for my liking. I mean seriously, it was annoying enough to have to get on and off the elevator just to switch floors. Perhaps I should take the stairs from now on. I slid my room key out of my pocket and with a swipe, popped open the door to my room with my good

Hand. Today had been an eventful day. First the meeting with Samuel, his story about his mate. When I thought of that I couldn't help but compare my situation to his. His seemed much worse in a way, well worse than my mates issues. I honestly had no idea what was going on between me and Allan. I mean the kiss we shared that day at the alpha house, we were suppose to have felt fireworks, sparks, not tears and pain. I knew then that I wasn't in love with Allen, even if he was my mate, the connection seemed lost. Although we had the slight pull from time to time to be with each other, I couldn't imagine myself taking pleasure from being the mate of the alpha, a once cruel, dark hearted guy who took pleasure in making me hurt. I don't think I ever would. Infact Sam, himself seemed to cause a little trouble within me. It was as if my heart was searching for an answer but my mind had hung up a 'be back in ten minutes' sign. Leaving me to be left in the cold. And as I waited those ten minutes it never came back, leaving me feeling as lonely as I once was.

With these last thoughts I felt myself slowly drifting off as I lay, sprawled out onto the king sized bed.

I yawned, stretching my arms. As I sat up I couldn't help but notice my eyelids still drooping like over sized shirts. Forcing myself to peel them open , I listened for the sound of my grandmother but there was nothing stirring. I glanced around the room unsure of my surroundings for a second . A shadow flew from my left and I let out a small scream of surprise.

"hello", I called out in shaky voice. My stomach shook with uneasiness. I had to breath slowly as the air turned thicker and thicker. A flash of black caught my eye causing me to scramble toward my headboard. It was as if I was expecting something to pop out of the dark.

"honey", a soft voice called out. I let out a breath of relief and pushed myself off of the bed. "grandma you scared me to death", I sighed, wiping my moist face. She appeared from the shadows with a timid look on her face. I took in her tired appearance and frowned. She looked absolutely worn out yet her eyes were wide open as if she saw something frightening.

"what's wrong", I asked worriedly , licking my chapped lips that had dried with the intensity of the look on her face. One of fear.

She came to sit on the bedside. In the light of the lamp her face lit with a dim pale glow.

"we have to go to the alphas house", she whispered quietly. With a confused look I sat beside her. What on earth was so bad about that.

She seemed to have Read my mind.

"you don't understand, these are the people who hate us, they casted us out on the territory line, they wanted to KILL you", she cried, her hands trembling.

I paused, why am I not scared. For some reason I just couldn't think of those people like that. Well, of Allan, like that.

"Allan.. He isn't like that, he said that he... He didn't want to think I am a murderer. Besides it was his father who saved me, remember , you told me that", I reassured her. Only this time I think I was also saying those things for myself.

She nodded, wiping her leaking eyes. "yes, I remember, let's go, the meeting starts soon, and while your grandpa is leaving the hospital we still have time to get this over with".

I nodded and with that we made our way out of the hotel room and toward the elevators, again. I was starting not to enjoy the elevators, they turned creepy, almost heavy and dim. The atmosphere was not comforting.

"uh grandma, you mind if I take the stairs and meet you down", I asked sheepishly. She smiled and laughed, "elevator sick", she joked.

"something like that", I laughed and with her approval I headed for the stair case, free from the suffocating elevator . My sandals clacked as I jogged effortlessly down the stairs. I got lost in the gold lining on the cement stairs, shocked to say the least.

Who the heck lines cement stairs with gold trim.

Oh that's right, a million dollar hotel.

"ow", I hissed as I ran into a solid form. I looked up , ready to apologize when I met familiar grey eyes. I gasped in shock, stumbling back.

"y-you", I stuttered, not being able to look away from his shining orbs of silver.

"actually my name is sebastian, and I'm glad I made a lasting impression", he smirked . I was about to retort when I realized no one was holding me, I was caught on the tip of my heels as if held by invisible hands. He melodically laughed and with a snap of his fingers the force let me go , sending me toppling back . I've steady me with an outstretched hand before dropping it limply at his sides.

We stood there in silence for awhile, him standing with a michevious grin, and myself looking utterly shocked and dumbfounded.

"wasn't there something you wanted to ask me", he questioned, playing with the tip of his nails. I gasped. That was impossible, how on earth could he know that I had to ask him something.

"don't look to surprised, my job is to keep an eye on you", he said with a cocked eyebrow. I stood in utter shock, my mouth hanging open.

"well..", he snapped, all of the sudden looking serious. I straightened up, although my insides were slowly crumbling. I was frightened. Frightened that the answer to my question would not be one I like.

"I-uh- ..", when I finally gained enough courage to speak I only got a few sllyables outs , "who is it that is fond of me?"
