NovelUpdateChapter 0124 Raven.
After Sadie left my room, I got up, showered and got dressed. I usually take a few minutes in the morning to just meditate. It helpschannel and anchor my powers. This is something that my mother taughtsince I was a little girl. Once I was done with that, I checked on Aspen. She was still asleep, with Martha curled up on the sofa opposite the bed.
Today I didn't plan on much except visit my mother's grave. It's been so long, and I miss her so much. Before Sadie and I fled, I used to go and visit her at least once a week. It helpedfeel closer to her even though she was no longer around. "Morning," a cook says when I walk into the kitchen. "What can I get you for breakfast?" I stare at her. A smile was plastered on her face as she looked atexpectantly. She seems so warm and inviting. It's been the swith the few pack members I've cacross since we arrived yesterday.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI look at them, and it makeswonder how such seemingly warm people can have such a dark side to them. The pain Sadie endured is embedded deep inside me. Her screams are still etched in my memories. I dreamed about her. About what she went through... But it all felt real. Like I was the one going through the torture. It's like I had switched bodies with her.
"Miss?" her voice calls me.
I shudder as cold shivers rake through my body at those memories. Not wanting to think about them anymore, I push them to the recess of my mind. Shutting them in a place where they can't haunt me. "Just toast, eggs and coffee," I mumble, trying to hide my irritation and disgust.
She servesmy breakfast in minutes. I dig in, not really wanting to be here longer than I need to. I feel angry and bitter that they went on with their perfect little lives after they ruined Sadie's.
She tries to hide it most of the time. Tries to pretend that she's fine, but I see it. I know her... And I know that she's still struggling with what they did to her. She's struggling with putting the pieces of her shattered heart back together.
Once I am done. I leave without even a thank-you. Back at our pack, I would have thanked our cook and probably given her a hug, but I just can't master the energy to be kind to these people.
I leave the pack house and head straight for the woods. When she was alive, my mother and I didn't live all that far from Alec's pack.
We never ventured near the borders though. My mother always warnedto stay far away from this pack. Werewolves and witches have relatively good relationships, and even though I was drawn to this pack for sreason, I never once disobeyed my mother.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt's only after I met Sadie that I realized that she might be the reason why I was so drawn. It wasn't the pack I was drawn to like I'd thought. It was Sadie.
It takesabout forty minutes to get to her grave. When I do, I drop on my knees, my tears falling down my face as I lay eyes on her headstone for the first tin three years.
"Hi mom," I begin, my voice clogged with emotions. "I miss you so much." I'll never forget the day she died.
Just like always, we spent the day with her teachinghow to use my m powers. When my lessons were Ο done, she sentto go pick sherbs that would cin handy in making potions.
take I did get the herbs, but I decided to swim. It wasn't unusual forto do so. My mother knew that liked to take adip in the creek. She was okay with it, as long as I got back hwith whatever it was she'd sentto get.
I didn't know my father, and my mom refused to talk about him. For as long Eora's as I can jemember, it was just her, Πand our small cottage.
