Chapter Nine
'Unwanted confessions '
Sky's POV
Don't go too far I thought to her as I raced through the forest at such a speed, but the young white wolf still ran ahead of me. My wolf threw back her head as I howled, feeling the sense of freedom like I always got when I'm in my wolf form. The moon was shining between breaks in the canopy of the thick dark trees, creating a mystic glow to the forest floor. I heard the near paw falls of Klaus beside me, as we ran together. Watching as our little girl ran further and further away from us. Why can't I run any faster? I need to be closer to her, why was I slowing down? I looked towards Klaus only to see he was no longer at my side. Instead, it was the sight of some all too familiar forms. But this wasn't the same. They were closer to me this time, not my parents. They were too close, far too close. I looked around for my little white wolf. She was still running with not a care in the world. Run my little girl I thought to try to catch up with her, but my paws were tangled beneath me in a twisted mess as I collapsed on the floor. The wolves pounced on me, biting every inch of my body, my back, my legs, my face, my... neck.
"Sky! Sky Angel, wake up for me please" I heard Klaus faintly in the back of my head, but I couldn't open my eyes, I didn't want to see my attackers, I couldn't, I wouldn't!
"Damn, Sky wake up!" wait where did Wesley come from? Is he getting attacked too? NO! I screamed, only to be cut off short, when a hand landed on the side of my cheek, I knew it was Klaus due to the way, sparks ran through my body. He was here? It was one thing them killing me, but it was a whole other thing when they attack my mate! With that, I shot my eyes open ready to try and fight off my attackers so I could help him, but my eyes hit a white wall of nothing. It was so bright it hurt my eyes.
"Angel, baby your ok, I'm here you're going to be ok" Klaus's voice ran through me, filling me with a happiness that I couldn't imagine. He was ok, he was alright! That was all that mattered, but he called me Angel, does that mean I was dead? Does that mean that bright light in front of my eyes was heaven?
I opened my eyes again to come face to face with the bright light and had to blink a few times. Wasn't heaven supposed to be perfect? Well, I would have thought, the first thing they'd have changed would have been this damned bright light! Which to any human, especially a sharp-sighted werewolf was defiantly much too bright to possibly do any good. But as I looked around, I realized I was not in fact in Heaven or even dead at all, I was buried deep in white linen, my eyes, drowsy from my terrible nightmare was following a twisted red line until it disappeared into the white linen. Only after staring at it for what seemed like ages, the realization hit me to what it was.
"EWWW! Get this wire out of me" I screamed as I felt the IV sticking into my vein. My shaking hand quickly went to rip it out - something that small shouldn't be in me! aww no, no, no. Just before my hand made contact with the horrible device a hand clamped itself over mine.
"Klaus, p... please take it out of me" I cried, tearing my eyes away from the torture devise to his Warm grey eyes.
"I'm sorry, I can't, you lost a lot of blood" he whispered sadly.
"Please" I cried again, watching as his face blurred as the next set of tears began to escape.
"I... I can't do that honey" he murmured, as his hand loosened its grip on mine, only to take it again, but this time placing it gently in his. At that moment I forgot all about the IV because my mind, body, and soul were focused on one thing and one thing only. Klaus, and the way his gentle touch sent tiny electric shocks through me, which seemed to hit each and every part of my body. I stared into his hard eyes as he stared intently back into mine, with an emotion I still didn't understand, though I was pretty sure that the same emotion was in my eyes now as I looked back at him.
Wesley cleared his throat and immediately I tore my hand away from Klaus, what was happing to me? I didn't like him remember! He slept with Wesley's girlfriend. He was the official enemy number 1! What would Wesley do when he found out he was... I quickly put up my guard, maybe he already knew that Klaus was my mate, but then again he was pretty wound up last night...
LAST NIGHT! Memories of last night flooded back to me as I looked between the two of there staring faces.
"care to explain to me what happened last night?" I asked, directing the question mainly at Wesley, though I guess I should be asking Klaus the same thing, then again, I had a lot I needed to talk to him about, and that conversation was not one I wanted to have in the hearing distance of his brother.
"Look Sky, I'm so sorry! I didn't know it was you, I wasn't thinking, I was stupid and... and" Wesley rambled, stepping closer to me and placed his hand on my arm. Of course, this little gesture didn't go unnoticed by Klaus, and I cringed away from both of them as Klaus let out a low growl.
"What?" Wesley glared at Klaus.
"I said don't touch her!" Klaus snarled harshly.
"Klaus" I whispered, he may be my mate, but he doesn't have the right to decided who does and doesn't touch me. He didn't reply as I turned back to Wesley who even with his cocky attitude, had indeed stepped away from me.
"can we talk?" Wesley asked staring at the wall behind me with a weird expression on his face, embarrassment? Anticipation? But whatever it is, he can't look at me while he asks.
"Go ahead" Klaus, answered, earning himself a glare from me.
"she can answer herself, and what makes you think you can answer for her? she's not even in your pack" Wesley retorted smugly. Um, maybe he doesn't know that Klaus is my mate... Which I must say was a relief. The little other people know for a while, the better. It should hopefully give me a little more time to adjust to the fact that Klaus is my mate.
"oh she will be" Klaus whispered as he went to take my hand again, and then stopped as I gave him a warning look. I wonder what his reactions going to be like when I reject him as my mate? well, actually I doubt he'll mind, seeing as he seems to be Mr resident player. I guess he'll just carry on with every other girl in the world who is willing...
"Ok, let's talk" I pulled on a fake smile, trying not to let the image of Klaus being with anyone else ruin my self-control. "Klaus" I urged nodding my head gently to the door and giving a look which I hope said, I'll-talk-to-you-later. I watched as he hesitated, and then nodded, before leaning into me and giving me a quick kiss on my forehead. I closed my eyes tight shut as I tried my very best to ignore the sparks which radiated through my body, much more powerful than before, so much more that for a couple of seconds I wanted nothing more than to pull his head down so that I could kiss his perfectly shaped lips, and pull his ripped body to mine just so I could feel him close to me.... Snap out of it Sky, this is Klaus your thinking about remember, the idea should utterly repulse you! Urg, now I'm talking to myself, he's making me go mad... FOCUS! I scolded myself opening my eyes again, to see that Klaus was no longer in the room and Wesley sat in his seat.
"soo..." I mumbled, looking at him as he continued to look anywhere but me. This isn't awkward at all...
"Look, Sky I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you, you just came out of nowhere... I wasn't expecting you to come in between us like that... I mean, why where you there in the first place?"
"i...I" I stuttered, now being the one who couldn't look at him. Why did I come in between them like that? Thinking about it now I was beyond stupid.
"do you... Like him?" he frowned at me when I eventually looked back at him.
"I... uh... I don't know... I mean, he stopped you from biting me, so I guess I owe him gratitude...."
"your still not answering my question" he frowned. Urg what am I going to say! I didn't want to tell him the truth, because who would meet a guy you've heard so much shit about and then like him? It just doesn't sound right... It isn't right, but there's nothing I can do about it. Wait! Do I like him? urg! I don't know! But then again, I couldn't say I didn't like him... er I'm quite literally having a crisis!
"is this what you wanted to talk to me about? Klaus" yeh, if you can't answer something, ask something back, and hope that they won't catch you out, for maneuvering yourself out of answering the original question!
"no, I guess not" he muttered
"then what did you want to talk to me about?" I asked, knowing that something was on his mind. He wouldn't be acting all defensive if he didn't.
"Well, the thing is Sky... I... I've been thinking about something and i..." he mumbled looking to the floor.
"Wes, spit it out"
"Well, the thing is, I think I kind of like you" he sighed, In a rush, as he finally met my eyes.
"Um, well were friends so of course" I smiled, confused. I knew he liked me... he didn't need to say...
"no I mean, I have feelings for you Sky, I have done since you first came here" he squared his shoulders as he looked at me, with a look of anticipation, slash relief, slash determination. Er, here you go Sky you knew something like this was going to ruin everything!I immediately growled at my own stupidity as I realized just what a mess I was now in.
What to do, what to do... I thought to myself, as I lay everything out on the table of my brain.
1, Wesley likes me, in that way. - I didn't like Wesley in that way, though he was my best friend and he was sweet and kind, and defiantly perfect boyfriend material...
But then there was Klaus, I wasn't sure if he liked me, I mean well of course he must, seeing as I'm his mate, but it might mean something different to him, would he just expect me to be like every one of his other sluts, which he's grown used to? In which case I'm not going to want him in that way. Even if he does make the butterflies wake up every time I thought of his touch, his eyes, his voice...
oh, I don't know...
"Sky?" Wesley prompted, and I remembered he was still waiting for me to say something, anything.
"oh" yep and that was the only... well it wasn't even a word, was it? More like a sound - which I could conjure up in my state of mind.
I can't deal with this right now, was the only thing running through my head as I closed my eyes once again, wishing that Wesley had never said anything.
That's alright love I'll wait for you he thought back, sounding more like his old self again as he bent down and pressed his lips to my forehead, though unlike when Klaus kissed me. I felt nothing, there were no sparks, and there was no emotion, which filled me like it had when Klaus had kissed me. I couldn't help but feel annoyed, I wished I could accept what Wesley told me and say I like him back because I knew that Wesley would be a perfect boyfriend, he'd be sweet, charming, romantic, and if Klaus wasn't in the picture and my mate was still at large. Then I maybe would have said yes to Wes, I would have accepted that he liked me, and I would have probably been with him for a while because I'm sure in time I would grow to have feelings for him too... But I couldn't help but realize, that as I thought of being with Wesley, pictures of being with Klaus swelled within me, scaring me more than anything, because, in these pictures, I was happy with him. I actually wanted to be with him, wrapped in his arms and nestled into his hard chest.
"I'll come back and see you tomorrow, and I think June's coming to see you later" he smiled reassuringly as he took my hand, and then left me as he walked out of the door.
Klaus's POV
I waited outside her room, as Wesley declared his love for my fucking mate! It took all of my self-control and more to just sit here, and not walk in there and beat him up. So bad that he would be sleeping in one of these hospital beds tonight. My wolf was growling out of control as I waited for her to respond after he said he 'liked' her, I mean grow some balls brother! If you're going to say you have feelings for someone, you don't just say you like them!
"Um, well were friends so of course" I smiled at that, either she was trying to stall answering or she really didn't have a clue, that Wesley was trying to tell her that he had undying feelings for her.
"no I mean, I have feelings for you Sky. I have done, since you first came here" I didn't think I even consciously told myself to get up, before I was standing in front of the door, watching through the small gap between the door and the wall. God, I feel like a stalker. But that thought wouldn't stop me from watching her reaction.
Her eyes were closed and she looked like she was thinking hard, urg! How I so wanted to hear her mind. What was running through that cute little head of hers? And what if she likes him back? what if she felt the same way? I could feel my chest ache, as I waited for her response. I wanted to feel confused at the fact, that right now my heart was beating fast in anticipation and the images of the two of them together seemed to crush me. But I knew why I felt like this. The reason being was that she was my mate, and heck I fucking wanted her!
"Oh" oh?! Is that the only thing she can say? Didn't she know she was killing me here? It's a yes or no response! What the heck can I make of oh!
She didn't say any more, she and Wesley probably used the mind reading connection. FUCK! I struggled to keep control of my wolf as Wesley bent down and kissed her on the forehead, she liked him too. Rage was trying to overcome my brain, I wanted to be pissed, I wanted to storm into that room and tear his head off and demand her to like me, but I couldn't. Heck, I felt like I couldn't do anything but turn away from the room and leave. I couldn't kill him, because I knew it would hurt her, and even though right now I couldn't have her, I wanted her to be happy, and if being with that prick makes her happy then... then I'll just have to bare it.
God, I need a distraction from my fucked up life!
Just then it felt like the world had answered me, as I looked at my vibrating phone
Hey, babe, I missed you soo much :L
Come over to mine so we can catch up ;)
Vick xoxo
I must admit I didn't really feel in the mood to 'catch up' but then again, I'm sure Vicky could make me forget. I mean she's not the best in the world, but certainly towards the top end of the lists when it comes down to a 'no strings attached' fuck.
K, come to mine
