The soulmate gift

Chapter 2: Christopher

Christopher's POV

I practically ran out of that hospital room; I had already stayed in there for too long. I'm not even going to think about what the walking shit would've done, I've seen her life, he thinks that they are mates and he'll do anything to keep that the same.

I already know everything I need to know about her, she's a snarky 18-year-old, since today I guess, who doesn't take no for an answer and even if she knows she's wrong she argues about it anyways. As much as I adore watching her friends lose their shit because she won't give up and she loves watching them get mad, I know for a fact that I could never love anyone more than my Rosie.

Even if something deep inside me is screaming at me to look closer.

See what I'm not seeing.

But I continuously push it away.

Soulmates or not, what does this stupid gift even know about love, it should just leave me alone. I've been happy with Rosalind since we've been 16, nothing will change that.

Regardless of the fact that something else overtook me when it was an hour before the clock chimed 12. The gift practically forced me to find her.

Like something horrible would happen if not.

I was screaming for her subconsciously in my mind and I have no idea why, I never cared for her when she would appear in visions, except sometimes when she was with that Thanasis kid.

I remember going to the gym and working out until I couldn't feel my arms anymore. Rosie would question me, and I would just say I need to stay in shape. Sometimes, fire would legit erupt out of me.

But that was all cause of the gift. Nothing to do with my personal feelings.

The longing I felt in my heart had nothing to do with me. The need to grab her and never let her go had nothing to do with my feelings.

I just need to get out of this hospital-

Change

Ugh, another vision what's going on this time, I roll my eyes.

''That's impossible'' she blurts, she must be talking about her ability to manipulate fire, that's what I thought too, when I turned 18, and I got bombarded with the visions and fire exploded out of me. The only difference? Her mother had protected her with a water barrier, I was in a clearing made specifically for 18-year old's who wanted to find out what their gift was.

With Rosie in the corner, behind a tree, when flames exploded out of me. She ran away before I could hurt her.

Thank god for that. Her hair might be as red as flames, but that doesn't mean she's immune to them.

''What do you mean ''Impossible''?'' Says the dipshit, Jacob. Looking at her proudly and wickedly. Something's wrong I can feel it.

''I- I don't know'' Says the girl I've been avoiding for most of my adult life, I might be engaged to another but that doesn't mean I'll let an innocent girl have her memories manipulated.

Especially not her.

Before I could even register what, I'm doing, I feel my body running towards her room. I don't care what her parents will say. She's my mate whether they like it or not. I might not like her but nothing bad is going to happen to her under my watch.

What am I even doing? This isn't me. Shit the gift- or whatever slumbers deep inside me- is controlling me again.

Before I know it, I'm looking at myself through her eyes, this has never happened to me before. I had seen her in her mirror's reflection, I never saw myself.
