(Katherine's POV)
I smiled at him as he smiled back.
It was true. Mum would be and is proud. I don't know ho I know but I just do. Maybe it's the fact that I'm an 'Empathine' or whatever.
Which reminds me, I still have to ask about the Empathine and the wolf inside me thing.
I know what I heard in the office but I want to hear it from him. That way, I'll actually believe it.
"Jason, can I ask you something?" I ask nervously.
"Um, sure" he asks with his eyebrows furrowed.
It's now or never right?
"What'sanEmpathine?" I rush out, stumpbling over my words, before giving him a sheepish grin.
He looks at me like I've grown two heads and has the 'what the f*ck?' face on his face.
"Come again?" he asks a little bewildered.
Come on Katherine. You can do this! You survived from being kidnapped and being stalked all your life so what going to happen after asking this question! As people say to guys, grow some b*lls! Or a v*gina in this case.
With that a take a deep breath before pronouncing each word slowly.
"What's an Empathine?" I finally manage to breath out.
At this Jason completely goes tense.
I immediately slouch and a breathy gasp is taken in.
"So it's true. Whatever you said in the office...it's true" I say, dazed.
At this, Jasons' posture goes back to normal and he sighs before releasing a light chuckle, shaking his head.
"I'm gussing you had a vision of the present, when you were unconscious, of what happened in the office?" he asks, an eyebrow raised and a small smile gracing his lips.
I nod stiffly.
"Okay, so why don't we do this. You tell me everything you heard in the office and anything you missed, I'll explain. Work for you?" he asks.
I nod stiffly, yet again.
I take in a small breath before letting it out.
"Becky explained that I was an Empathine. Someone who is born from true mates and has half werewolf blood and witch blood in them. She said that the Moon Goddess? made only a few mates that were a witch and werewolf and that if they had numerous children, she'd choose which child to be an Empathine. I remember she said that they had 'special powers' like seeing visions of the present, future and sometimes the past, being resistant to silver, habing a wolf imside of them and knowing when something bad will happen when they have an uneasy feeling. Becky said that the wolf was special because...because it wasn't like a normal wolf?" I said with my eyebrows furrowed, "She said that it speaks with 75% of logic and not 50% of logic and feelings. I think she said somthing about only a few being able to shift into a wolf and that Empathines can have 'mate'."
I closed my eyes, trying to concentrate and remember what else she had said.
"Oh, yeah. She said something about there can only be 10 at a time and if one dies then you'll have to wait 10 years before another replaces that one, and if two die then you'll have to wait 10 years before two others replace the two etc etc" I finish, my eyebrows still furrowed.
I look up at Jason, only realising now that I had been staring at my lap in concentration while speaking.
He looked at me, flabbergasted.
"You remembered all of that?" He asks, mouth gaping a little in sureprise.
I shrugged nonchalantly.
"Well yah. If it's important I remember it so technically I remember most things because you never know when something will be important. However, I can't remember everything. You'de have to have an phtographic or eidetic memory for that" I shrug, only to realise that I'd bern blabbering.
He just continued to look at me, completely astonished.
"Right, well. Is that all you can remember?" he asks getting out of his shock a little.
I look at him deep in thought before gasping and clapping my hands like a retarted seal amd snapping my fingers.
Let's not judge, okay? We've all done it.
It was almost there but I couldn't grab it.
"Oh wait. Wait! Um...it's almost there!" I say as I squeeze my eyes shut trying to remember.
"Yes! That's it! You're my protector! Becky said that with Empathines comes power, and with power comes danger so it's only natural that they have a protector" I chirp.
He looks at me, yet again, in astonishment.
He quikly shakes his head sanpling out of it.
"Right, okay! That's great! So you remember everything from the office. There's not much I can tell you then since Empathine's have evolved over the years and we don't really know anything new since we read from an old book written centuries ago. We'll just have to wait and see whether you have other powers I guess. As for the Protector thing... yes, I am your Protector which means that I'd do anything to protect you. " he explains.
"It's like I'm your bodyguard, let's say. My job is basically to protect you from anything bad. Protectors are most commonly a sibling so you'd have a close bond with them anyway and a closer bond with the fact that they're your Protector, making the feeling of protecting their Empathine stronger. If the Protector isn't a sibling, it just means the bond isn't as close but will slowly develop to being as close as a sibling and Protector bond over the years."
I nod my head in understanding.
"What if you're an Empathine and your Protector is someone else and you never meet them?" I ask.
"That won't happen. You see, even if they weren't your sinling and they were someone else on the other side of the Earth, you'd still meet them one way or another no mayter what. It's impossible to not meet your Protector."
"So you're saying that no matter what, you guys will meet?"
He nods.
"What if one of you die?"
"If the Empathine dies before meeting the Protector the Protector will still be a Protector but imstead to the person who will replace the Empathine that died. So, the Protector will have to wait another 10 years before meeting the Empathine they'd have to protect. Where as, if the Protector died before meeting the Empathine they were supposed to protect, another Protector will be asigned for them."
"What if the Protector's human? What then?"
"The Protector will never be human. It will alsways be a werewolf no matter what."
"Oh" I say, not really having anything else to ask about the Protector thing, so instead I direct my questions to something else.
"So you're a werewolf?" I ask, making myself more comfortable on the bed by lying down on it.
Jason crawls over to the other sode of me from his sitting position and also lays down on the bed beside me.
"Yes. I'm a werewolf" he deadpans as if telling me the weather.
"Care to explain?" I ask with an eyebrow raised.
"Nah, I'm good" he says closing his eyes with a small smile on his face.
I hit his chest but it doesn't effect him.
"Jason!" I whine like a child.
He chuckles at my childish behaviour.
"I'll explain later. Right now, I wanna sleep. I've been up all night worrying about you" he explains, eyes still closed.
As soon as he said those words my eyes automatically surveyed his face.
You could see that there are dark bags under his eyes and frown lines around his mouth, telling me he had been frowning a lot, and now that I think about it I remember seeing that Jason's (now closed eyes) were red and watery.
Guilt immediately envelopes me.
"Oh my gosh. I'm sorry! Sleep all you want!" I rush out.
"Don't apologise. It wasn't your fault" he chuckles.
"But-"
"Shhhhh" he says pulling up the blanket, using it to cover himself before covering me.
"Sleep."
And with that last word I close my eyes and drift off.
