I rush to my bedroom, open the door looking around, itching to see him. It takes not even a second. "Elijah!" I shout and run at him, catching him off guard He smashes against the wall and I wrap my arms around his neck pulling his face down to mine. He didn't even have time to gasp before I crash my lips to his with sudden urgency and need. He held onto me, responding slowly, which I'm guessing is because he was confused. I pulled away and hoped off of him. He was breathing heavy, running his hand through his 'just had sex' hair. I smiled. "Sorry... It's just." I tell him about what Rebekah had done, and she was right. He wanted to kill her. I told him it was okay, leaving out the part about my gift until now. "I want to show you something." I told him excited. He nodded. I extended my hand, palm facing the ceiling, placed between the both of us. I swirled my fingers around in a circles in it, cupping and curling my fingers, urging what I wanted to happen, and praying that it would and that I wouldn't embarrass myself. And the it appeared.

It was a wolf. Mist and fog swarming around the little ice statue that looked as if it was howling at the moon. He jumped back surprised and snapped his eyes to mine. "How?" He asked a smile tugging at his lips. "It came to me in a dream. Your parents, suggested I try practicing. That's what I was doing this s'morning. That's what Rebekah was helping me with, why she said what she did. It was too get me mad enough so it would break free. We had an idea of what it was, so the hard part was already acomplish. Your mother said... she said I'm a 'Winter munipulator', or something. She just made up the name." I shrug and laugh with glee under my breath. "It's mainly element munipulation, but only winter-y things. Snow, frost, fog, mist, the cold." I rant to him all in a long breath. He picks me up slightly, pulling my right against his chest, the icy wolf shatters to the ground, but I ignore it. "You never cease to amaze me, Katerina." He tells me as my feet touch the ground again.

I laugh un-easy. "I'm glad." He winks at me. "I have to go talk to Tamara, somethings come up. I'll tell you all about it later. I just wanted... to make sure you were still here." I tell him and peck his lips. "I'm always going to be here." He tells me. I nod quickly and smile kissing him again before walking out of the room and down the hall to Joel's. I knock and step back, waiting for Tamara to answer. She opens the door with red rimmed eyes and a tight smile. She ushers me in, I step in and slowly she closes the door behind me. I look around her room and she makes her way to the bed. I decide to take a seat on the bed beside her. We sit in silence for a while. "So...." I mumble awkwardly. "So." She mimics her voice flat. "How're you holding up?" I asked her, not wanting to get to the point too quickly but desperately wanting the silence to end. "I'm okay, I guess. I mean, it's not like Joel was my mate, but I did like him." She tells me, her eyebrows furrowing. I nod slowly and I hear her sigh. "The sudden realization didn't help." But she meets my eyes quickly before turning her head away. It's like she didn't mean to say it.

"How did you know? I ask her, needing to know. She meets my eyes again and gets up, crossing her arms against her chest and pulling them in tight, pacing a bit at the end of the bed. "Well, I have a gift. Just like you and Rebekah have one." She says in a low voice. My curiosity is spiked further." One touch and I can know everything about a person, everything they've seen through their eyes since the day they were born. When I touched Bekah, I knew." She takes a seat again. "I seen how the relationship I had with Joel hurt her, why she had hated me. I couldn't do that to her any further. I had to let go of Joel, push him away." She says and I see her blink over and over, I can tell she's blinking away tears. "I refuse to stand in the way of what is and it wasn't me who Joel is meant to be with." She finishes in such a sad voice I find my throat tight. She meets my gaze for a second before turning away again. I try to take a different route to give her time to breathe.
"What's with everyone having gift's in this pack? Its kinda eeky..." I mutter honestly. She laughs at me and I smile a bit. "I guess that's three huh? Does seem kinda strange." I nod at her, agreeing. It's quite again and I fill it with the truth. "You did the right thing, you know. I'm sorry it caused you this pain, but you're a good person." And I reach for her hand, squeezing it tightly before she takes a sudden breath, followed by a deep breath. She's letting my best friend be happy.

"Looks like things aren't exactly okay right now for them." She comments. I glance at her, realizing she knows it all now. One touch. "I never wanted that to happen. She was supposed to tell him and they would fall happily into eachothers arms." She states like it's a realistic scenario. I look at her with my eyebrow raised. "Since when when are fairytales real?" I ask her. She laughs with an off tone. "Well werewolves are real, are they not?" She shrugs. "Okay, you got me there. But still." I reply, and she half smiles. "Do you think you're going to be okay?" I ask her. She contemplates, her eyebrows furrowing above her nose. "I'm sure I'll be okay at some point." She replies calmly, like she's using this sentence as her beginning to remaining calm. "Congratulations by the way." She winks at me and my eyes widen. "Thank you." I laugh awkwardly and clear my throat. "You should forgive Ace." She says suddenly and my fists tightens.

I stare at her with no idea of what to say. "Despite what he said, it's a lot worse. He bumped into me earlier today. If pain had a definition... it would be your brother, Kat." She tells me and I find my fists loosening. "I want to forgive him, I do. But I needed him. For him to support me, save me until my mate came along to take over." I say softly, my throat being what's tight now. She stays quiet. "He did nothing but contribute to it. And then my mate rejects me and again my brother does nothing." I tell her, my breath shallow. "I get it.. I do. I mean, I don't have sibilings, but I know how hard it can be to battle with yourself over multiple things." She admits with her own sad voice. I nod slightly. "On one hand, I love my brother but can let him back in my life? He's hurt me, really hurt me. He was never there, and I feel like I hate him for it. And yet, on the other hand, I love my brother and I want to forgive him." I take a deep, exaggerated breath. "I need time, like they say in all the movies." I roll my eyes, annoyed that it feels like life right now is some stupid story. "It hasn't been long since he's back in my life, I need to see if I can handle having him close again." I tell her... or maybe I was telling myself. I sigh rubbing my forehead.

"Give yourself time. Even if it takes weeks, just make sure you try your absolute best to forgive him. At least listen to him if he tries to talk. I know nothing would make him happier. And I know how much he deserve's it." She tells me. I into the bathroom of her's and Joel's room, or what used to be there's.
I couldn't help but believe her words. She's practically seen everything he ever went through, it must have been horrible for her too with the way she's describing him. She wasn't even his mate, Renee was, which meant she had no reason to feel this want for his happiness  on purpose. It must mean she's being honest. I feel my stomach clench. Did I hurt my brother as bad as he hurt me? I didn't understand. I was so confused, how messed up was everyone when I left? It can't be as bad as it seems to be lining up. I mean, Kol doesn't give a shit about me or anyone but Melonie and maybe his parents. Ace though... I seen it in his eyes that time. The way they lit up when he seen me.

How loving he had been, the bags under those eyes, how strained and scaryily sick he looked. He still looks that way too. I wiped some stray tears from my eyes. I didn't know what to do anymore. I missed him, maybe more than my mate. No, diffinately more than my mate. My brother was the only family I had left, despite everything I couldn't help but still love him. No matter what, I still loved him, I always would. I just needed time. Sighing I put my head in my hands. I also needed food. I used way too much energy last night, and Bekah had me woken up at 7:00 am in the fudgin morning. I blushed at last night's memories. Breakfast, breakfast sounds amazing, I thought shaking out my previous ones. I grinned and rushed out of the room and back to mine to get Elijah so fast I don't think I was even visible.
