Chapter 45~ I'm not crazy

I looked around the forest seeing the sun rising. I couldn't move... I couldn't speak...

It was her...

My Mother. She was really there.

I hugged my legs sitting there leaning against the tree when I heard footsteps walking. "Luna?" I heard and looked up seeing one of the guards, he walked to me quickly putting his jacket around me "Are you alright? Are you hurt?" He asked and I shook my head.

"Yo Aarlik!" He called out sitting up "what?" I heard. "Come here!"

I hugged my legs tightly just thinking about Mason sitting on his knees talking to my own mother.

How is that even possible?

"Jordyn?" Aarlik said walking to us quickly "I just found her like this" the guard said looking at me, Aarlik bent down in front of me. "Jordyn?" He whispered trying to get me to look at him, "has she said anything?" He asked looking at the guard. He shook his head and Aarlik sighed, he bent down picking me up and I put my head on his shoulder as he walked through the forest quickly.

"Are you hurt?" He asked and I shook my head "no" I whispered. "What the hell are you doing out here alone?" He asked waking up the pathway to the house.

"She was there" I whispered making him frown, "who?" He asked. The door opened quickly and we looked seeing Mason, "where the hell was she?!" He said walking to us quickly, "we just found her in the forest" Aarlik said as Mason took me out of Aarlik's arms.

He held me tightly and I wrapped my arms around his neck, "what the hell were you thinking?" He growled holding me against his chest. "I...I... You..."

He walked inside the house holding me and I just looked at him, he spoke with my mother...

My dead mother...

"Where the hell was she?" Xavier said walking to us "back off" Mason growled at him. Xavier put his hands up in defense glaring at him as he walked away holding me.

We walked upstairs into our bedroom and he closed the door sitting me on the bed, "Kitten" he said cupping my face making me look at him. He checked my body for injuries "are you hurt?" He asked worriedly making me look at him. "I'm fine" I whispered looking down, "I've been going crazy. Where the hell have you been? Why were you in the damn forest by yourself?" He asked.

"I...I'm sorry" I whispered hugging myself, he put the blanket around me sitting on his knees in front of me. "Why did you go there? If you wanted to take a walk you should've asked me or someone else" he said with hard eyes.

"I...I followed you last night" I whispered looking down, "followed me? Where?" He frowned "into the forest... By the lake" I mumbled staring at him right in the eye hoping to get some sort of reaction...

But he only looked confused.

"I never went into the forest last night... I stood in the office" he said. "I saw you Mason. You went by the lake and..."

Mom...

My mother...

"And what?" He frowned

"My mom was there" I whispered. He sat up putting his hand on my forehead "are you okay?"

"I saw you! You were talking to her by the lake!" I said "Jordyn I never left the house last night! I don't know what you're talking about" he said shaking his head.

"I saw you" I whispered looking down, he looked at me worriedly and laid me down on the bed. "I'm going to call Dr. Reynolds" he said making me frown "for what?"

"Lay down. You're not well-"

"I'm fine! I know what I saw Mason-"

"Baby I never left the house last night. I promise you that" he said shaking his head. I laid there staring at him picturing him with my mom...

"My Mother..."

"She's dead Kitten... She's not coming back" he whispered moving my hair. "But she was there... You two were talking" I said, he sighed sitting there staring at me. "I'm going to get Dr-"

"I'm not crazy!"

"I never said you were. You've been out all night. I just want to make sure you're okay" he said stroking my hair. "Mason just tell me" I whispered

"There's nothing to tell... I never went out last night. I promise you that"

"Well then you must've been sleep waking or hypnotized because I saw you! I followed you out there!" I said standing up, "Kitten lay down-"

"No! Stop looking at me like I'm crazy. I know what I saw! Sarafina saw it" I said. There was a knock on the door and Mason walked to it opening it.

"Is everything alright?" Dr. Reynolds asked and I groaned running my fingers through my hair. "She was out in the forest all night. She claims that she saw me talking to her dead mother" Mason said quietly.

"I know what I saw Mason!" I snapped glaring at him, "Luna let me take a look at you-"

"No! I'm not crazy"

"We never said you were. We just want to look at you. You might have hit your head or-"

"Fuck this" I muttered going to the bathroom "Jordyn!" Mason said but I slammed the door hard locking it. I sat on the floor holding my hair in my fists closing my eyes....

I know what I saw...

****

"You think she hit her head?" A voice said

"Something had to happen in that forest" another voice spoke

"But what exactly? She's not hurt... Could it be a witch?"

"I don't know... She claims that she saw me talking to your wife"

"My wife? She's dead"

"Exactly... She's really set on it too. She said I snuck out the house last night and met up with her by the lake... I never left the house"

"Hmm"

I sighed turning to my side hugging my pillow, "she doesn't have any marks on her head" a third voice said.

"I can have my wife check for any poisons or spells"

"Did anything happen yesterday?"

"No. She was perfectly fine"

"I wonder what's going on"

I moaned softly feeling fingers run through my hair, I snuggled closed to the warmth and opened my eyes seeing Daddy, Mason and Dr. Reynolds all around me looking at me worriedly. I frowned as I was in bed tucked in, "Mason broke down the door when you fell asleep" Dad said stroking my hair and I sighed.

I sat up running my fingers through my hair "Mason told me you said you saw your mother" Dad said making me look at Mason. "he was talking to her" I said making him sigh shaking his head. "I saw you! Just tell me the truth and stop making me look like I'm crazy!"

"I told you the truth Jordyn! I never left the freaking house last night!" Mason snapped making me growl angrily. "Luna-"

"Can I be left alone? I want to be alone" I muttered hugging myself. "Jordyn-"

"Now!" I snapped, Dad sighed kissing my head and stood up. Dr. Reynolds nodded walking out taking his bag and they walked out, I put the covers over myself and looked up seeing Mason still standing there staring at me.

"Can you-"

"No" he muttered walking around the bed, he sat down next to me sighing and I looked at him. "You really don't remember?"

"There's nothing to remember... I fell asleep in the office and I woke up in the office. I never went out" he said laying down next to me, I shook my head laying there and he went to grab me.

I turned over with my back to him making him sigh, "Kitten don't turn your back to me... Please" he whispered. I closed my eyes putting my face in the pillow...

I'm not crazy...

****

"Hey..." I heard a soft voice say shaking me, I moaned hugging my pillow and felt someone move my hair. "Kitten"

I opened my eyes slowly seeing Mason sitting there looking at me, "hmm?"

"I got you some food. You need to eat" he said stroking my hair softly, "I'm not hungry" I sighed closing my eyes. I groaned as he sat me up, "Mason. I'm not hungry-"

"You haven't eaten. You're not going to die of starvation again" he muttered making me frown. I sighed looking down thinking about what he told me...

'They made me watch you die so many times'...

"Please... Eat" he muttered sitting in front of me, "just a few bite at least" he said looking down. "Fine" I sighed sitting up straight holding the blanket on me, he put the plate in my lap and I looked down at the soup.

"Your Dad made it for you" he said quietly making me smile softly. I grabbed the spoon and looked at him seeing he was watching my every move closely. I bit my lip eating the soup slowly feeling his eyes on me, "how are you feeling?" He asked.

"I'm fine"

"You got us worried" he said rubbing my ankle softly making me look at him. I licked my lips looking out the window seeing the sun was setting.

How long have I been asleep?

"All day. You were really exhausted" he said making me look at him. "I'm fine"

"You don't look fine-"

"Well you try acting normal after you see your mate talking to your dead mother" I muttered making him sigh. "Jordyn-"

"I'm not hungry anymore" I said picturing my mothers face making my appetite go away. I just couldn't eat at all anymore...

"Eat more-"

"I can't eat-"

"Jordyn" he growled tightening his grip on my ankle, I put the bowl on the night table and laid down putting the blanket over my head.

"Jordyn you need to eat-"

"No! I just want to sleep!" I snapped feeing tears forming in my eyes.

Why am I crying?

"Hey... No.. Don't cry kitten. Please" he whimpered laying next to me wrapping his arms around me pulling me to him. I sniffled turning to him putting my face in his neck, "I'm sorry" he whispered kissing my head rubbing my back making me close my eyes letting the tears fall...

***

I opened my eyes hearing the floor creak, I looked up seeing Mason standing by the bed staring at me.

Oh not again.

I blinked looking around and sat up slowly, "Mason" I mumbled sleepily. He turned around walking to the door and walked out, I frowned standing up quickly.

I walked out following him as he walked down the stairs, he is sleep walking... Right?

'He looks like he is... But he's awake' Sarafina frowned staring as him as he walked out the house. I bit my lip following him out and he stopped in front of the forest.

I hugged myself standing behind him as he just stared off into the forest with a blank expression. "Mason?" I whispered standing there, I stood in front of him looking up at him.

"I'm sorry" he whispered making me frown.

"For what?" I asked, he looked behind me and I followed his gaze seeing a shadow. I tensed standing closer to him grabbing his hand nervously.

I watched the shadow walk closer and my breath completely disappeared seeing my mother standing there.

"Mom?" I whispered

She started at me and smiled softly walking back into the forest. I let go of Mason's hand following her quickly into the forest, "Mom!" I yelled running after her.

She ran faster not looking back at me making me frown, "Mom!" I called out again. She finally slowed down stopping by the lake making me sigh in relief.

She turned around looking at me as I stopped behind her, "Mama?" I whispered and she smiled.

"Hi baby girl" she said smiling

"H-how is this possible?" I asked walking closer "it isn't..."

"B-but your here!" I said wide eyed going to grab her, I gasped as my hand went straight through her making my heart sink.

I looked at her with tears in my eyes making her sigh, "I'm sorry" she whispered walking closer. "I thought... I thought that you were-"

"I know. Trust me I wish I were. I wish I can be here for you... Especially in a time like this" she said making me sigh.

"How can I see you? Why can't Mason remember that he's seen you?"

"He never has" she chuckled softly making me frown, "I used him to lure you out here-"

"They think I'm crazy now. Why would you do that?"

"You need to listen to me. Bad people are coming-"

"Who? Hopkins?"

"You don't understand what he'll do to you... The things they did to me. I can't let that happen to you-"

"What should I do then?" I mumbled looking at her beautiful face. "Run away... Leave. Tomorrow night... Alone-"

"Wait what? I can't leave everybody. If Hopkins comes, he'll hurt the pack. Mason would go crazy" I said shaking my head.

"He'll kill them if you were there anyway. It's better this way. It gives them a chance to fight back and be safe from you"

"From me?-"

"Do you want people getting hurt because of you?" She asked moving closer and I shook my head. "So you need to leave" she said sadly, "where would I go?" I whispered

"Anywhere. As far as you can go-"

"What about Mason?"

"I'm sorry" she whispered making my chest tighten "I can't leave my own mate" I said shaking my head. "You have to if you want to live-"

"Well I can't live without him... I just can't" I said shaking my head quickly backing away. "Jordyn you need to do this. You can't get hurt. You can't let anyone get hurt-"

"I know that but I don't want to leave Mason-"

"Your going to have to... I'm sorry" she said moving closer to me making me back up. "Mom-"

"Leave. Just leave" she said in a more demanding tone. "You'll learn to survive on your own okay? I don't want you to end up like me" she standing right in front of me.

"Mama I-"

"I'm sorry" she whispered again making me frown, all of a sudden I was being pulled into the lake by my ankle. I gasped falling in...
