Where I Belong

CHAPTER SEVEN

*Why are you a werewolf?*

*Same reason you are. We were born this way Santana.*

*But I never knew until yesterday Damon! And why are you here?!*

He didn’t know what to say. Thinking about how he met her…

   Damon rushed to get his ticket. The bus was about to leave. Rushing out of the building he yelled for the driver to wait. He ran into the bus. It was all full, but one beside a pretty little blonde. Her skin creamy white, eyes gold, and lips full; so unique looking. She reminded him of someone. Who?

   Walking over he smiled, not removing his eyes from hers. She looked excited over him. He knew she was as all the girls loved him. He groaned inwardly. Sitting down roughly, he stared at her. His heart skipped a beat as he noticed her blush. She was so adorable, like a little puppy. Her scent was sweet, like strawberries and…wolf? He laughed to himself. She couldn’t be a werewolf like him. His wolf jumped around suddenly. *Mate,* he yelled at him.

He rolled his eyes.

   Trying to start a conversation he asked her name. “Santana,” she replied, smiling. Wow. Her smile is so…cute. She must be young. “Like Carlos Santana?” he replied.

His wolf answered to that *Wow. Nice conversation you’re having here. Nice way to pick up babes.* *Shut it Embry.*

“I’m Damon,” he replied after she asked what his name was. When she referred to him as Damon Salvatore, he laughed. “Yea like the hot sexy vampire.” After seeing her blush again he blurted out “Haha you’re cute Santana.” When she said he was as well, it tore at him. She was so attractive. He wanted to press his lips to hers gently and make her his forever. Trying to control himself, he patted her on the head like a puppy. Her light blonde hair felt silky smooth. He felt like he had known her all his life. He told her about his family, music tastes…

After what seemed like an hour of talking a woman tapped him on the shoulder for him and his girlfriend to keep it down. He almost started laughing. I’d love for her to be mine. Something tugged on his heartstrings.

 *Hey Embry. I swear I’ve seen her somewhere before. I just don’t know. She looks so much like someone?* *I feel it too.*

   She looked over at him. He could tell she was embarrassed so he nudged her in the ribs. When she pulled out her Ipod, her sweet smell wafted towards him. So lovely! He accepted when she offered a headphone to listen with.

   Her head fell on his shoulder as she fell asleep. Her skin touching him was like an electric shock. His primitive instincts started to rise. He wanted to make her his mate. Complete bondage to her and her only forever. Embry howled loudly. *She is perfect. I want her wolf!* His lips quivered. It was getting harder and harder to control himself. His wolf wanted to come out and do his thing. Take what he wanted.

   When she woke up, their eyes met. Damon loved her eyes. The color so strange, yet so familiar! Did he meet her before? He saw the goose bumps form on her neck. “Are you cold?” He had a hoodie Nova gave him before he left. He didn’t wear it yet so he offered it. She accepted.

   He desperately wanted to know her age. When she answered eighteen, it wasn’t as young as he thought. Teasing her, he said she was such a cutie pie; referring that she was a little girl. She got all high and mighty saying she wasn’t that young. She was so fun to tease. Her eyes turned a darker gold when she was mad.

   When the driver announced that Kamloops was near, his heart beat frantically. He felt like he was going to lose his soul and spirit. It looked like she felt the same way. He held her little hand, dreading the end.

   After exchanging numbers with her, the bus stopped.

*I have a bad feeling about this Damon.*

*Me too.*

“I guess this is it.”

   His heart ached. He lost control. Grabbing her hard, he hugged her. He patted her on the back, feeling her lovely warmth. Breathing in her sweet smell, he almost cried.

The tears were forming; he didn’t want her to see so he said goodbye and left.

He saw Casey’s black truck and walked over to it. She was there waiting for him.

As he got in the front seat, she saw his expression. *What’s wrong bro?”

*I think I just met my mate, and we just said goodbye. My heart is really hurting right now.*

*Who is she Damon?! Finally someone you want to mate with!*

*She’s another werewolf, that’s for sure. I could smell wolf all over her and Embry went crazy when he saw her.*

*I did not, jackass!*

*Never mind Embry.*

*But Casey, I swear I’ve met her before!*

*You have? But why have these feelings now and not before?*

*I don’t know Casey.*

He looked out the window, thinking about it.

*What was her name? I might have met her too.*

*She didn’t say her last name, but it was Santana. She has the strangest gold eyes and very light blonde hair. But where did I meet her?!*

Casey thought for a moment when all three of them yelled in unison:

*I know who she is!*

Casey drove back to the bus station in a rush. It couldn’t be? No way! After sixteen years? That girl would be dead! Driving into the lot they both got out quickly.

*Do you see her?*

   He looked around. She was gone. Taking out his cell phone he bit his lower lip. He had to. Dialling the number, he called Chloe. This is the worst day of my life. I meet a mate, and it just so happens to be the Luna’s missing daughter. Could she really be the one? I hope not. Chloe and Troy would never let it happen. She already belonged to someone; already someone’s future mate. His heart ached. Why her?!

“Damon?”

“Hi Chole. I have some…news for you.”

“What’s wrong? Your voice sounds strange. Are you okay?”

“Yes, I’m fine.”

“Do you want to talk to Troy or your father?*

“No. I think you should sit down before I tell you this.”

“What?”

“I think I’ve found Santana.”

The phone line went dead.
