Dreams Do Come True

Chapter Nine

The walk back to my dorm felt long and tiresome. The whole time I kept on praying and hoping that this was all just a bad dream. I could not possibly be Micah's 'mate', whatever that meant. I mean isn't that against the werewolf code or something. They can't mate with a witch. I sighed. Let's just hope things go back to normal tomorrow.

Once I reached my door, I just stood there. I extended my senses to see if Liza was awake, and she was. There was also another presence in the room. I took a breath and reached for the door knob, when it burst open and someone jumped on me.

"Henrietta! Where have you been? You've been gone for like a whole day, and we didn't know where you where, we were so worried-" I held up a hand.

"I just went for a walk okay, and can you please not shout. I have a head-ache." She looked hurt, but she settled down. When I looked over her shoulder I saw Ray. I walked in and prepared for the lecture. I stood there waiting. He opened his mouth and said "You look cold."

That's not what I expected.

He grabbed a blanket of the couch and wrapped it around me. Then he looked to Liza and said "I think I've got this, why don't you go to bed."

"No I want to stay with her-"

"I said go to bed." His voiced sounded like a melody. Then it hit me, he had used his magic to compel Liza. Once she was out the room, he motioned me to follow him. He took us into my room and closed the door.

"So where were you really tonight?" I looked at him like a deer in headlights.

"I told you before. I took a walk."

"For a whole day. That's bullshit and you know it. Don't take me for a fool Henrietta, but since I know you're not gonna say anything tonight, I won't ask again." I wrapped the blanket closer. Why is he being so persistent?

"Well thanks for bringing me in here. You look tired so you should probably go back to your dorm." I said trying to hurry him out. He looked like he wanted to refuse, but then changed his mind.

He ran his hands through his hair.

"You're probably right." He got up and gave me a swift kiss on my forehead. I thought he would leave after that, but he loomed over me for a good minute. I looked up at him and like a bat out of hell he smashed his lips to mine. It was so quick and intimate I didn't have the time to push him off, I just sat there like a fool.

When we separated, he gave me another kiss on the cheek.

"Night Henrietta." With that he left.

I sat there looking at the spot where he was just standing. What the hell was that! I barely know the guy and he basically steals my first kiss, well second counting Micah. I brushed my fingers over my lips.

It was selfish of me but I still couldn't help but feel special. I mean any girl would. Two of the hottest guys mans ever seen kissed me, all in one day. It's a girl's fantasy but sooner or later I know I'm going to come crashing back to reality.

The next morning I woke up sweating. How is it that I still have nightmares? Ever since I was a kid I had these terrible dreams. My therapist told me that things like that usually disappear when you get older. Well I'm older, so why haven't they disappeared.

After Liza and I got our clothes on we headed out to the fields. It's a beautiful Sunday for a picnic. Liza said I should dress to impress because all the boys were going to be out. I didn't though, because to be honest I really didn't care.

Well that's a lie, I most definitely care what boys think about me but I know I'm not that interesting so really, what's the point. She got dressed up all fancy smancy. She looked good. Liza always had a nice glow to her but she never really showed it.
