Next day

June 13, 2017, Tuesday

"Jacqueline, I need to tell you something." As I spoke those words she turned towards me and waited for me to speak.

"Do you have an open mind?"

"what do you mean? do I have an open mind? " Jacqueline said

"If I were to tell you that it's not just us in the world, and not just animals. Would you have an open mind too what I have to say?" She looks like she wants to hear me out, but at the same time, it looks like She's doubting me.

"So what you're telling me is that you think there's more out there than just us humans and animals."

All I could do was nod

she laughed at me

"What makes you think that there's something else out there besides us."

I looked her straight in the face. ready to tell her everything I know. ready to see her reactions.

"Do you know where we first met? It was on the plane and you said who was I running away from I told you I will tell you someday that day is today. "

"But why today. why of all days." she looks so confused. It's going to break me telling her this reason. why, because I don't know if I'll lose her. I don't know if she'll think I'm crazy or not but let's find out.

" The reason why I'm telling you this today is because I can't keep it a secret anymore and you're my best friend and the reason why I was running away is because my boyfriend killed me..."

"what!!!!. he killed you and you didn't even tell me." I didn't even get to finish what I said but at least I know she cares but I had to stop her before she kept ranting.

"Can you let me finish?"

"Oh, my bad, go ahead finish."

I sighed and waited till she sat down

"so he almost killed me but the reason was because I wasn't the right one. It was on his birthday I had everything planned a week before and as we were talking about it he said he didn't wanna do nothing he just wanted to spend time with me. we argued until that day but we did what he wanted on that day."

"Are you telling me that you planned his birthday and you told him? you argued, he wasn't even considerate about it. And you're telling me that he almost killed you on his birthday he's an asshole? What else aren't you telling me because I've seen the scars on your body? what about those."

I didn't know that she would notice those but now I have to tell her.

I have to tell her the full-blown truth.

"You really wanna know the truth."

"Yes."

I fetched my woman balls and I finally decided to tell somebody the truth.

"well you know how I was telling you about having an open mind ,but when me and him we're walking home from the movie theater me and him were talking, and all I know is that I was just talking by myself ,and all I heard next was him screaming ,and then I turned around I didn't see him all I saw was the black wolf. a giant black wolf. I screamed his name like so many times, but he was nowhere so I finally turn towards the wolf.

I didn't feel scared, didn't look like it wanted to hurt me, I walk towards it in a very slow pace but when I was near it, it pounced on me and I was laying on the ground, and the Wolf is on top of me."

"all of that happen but wait how did you almost die. how did you get your scars? how did you come back to life? "

she asked the most dreadful questions I never wanted to answer.

"My boyfriend, he turned into a werewolf. So when he turned back to a human he found out that I was his mate and he was unhappy with that. After finding out that information He told me I was weak and why did the moon goddess give me a human and that we were over and he left me crying in the rain."

She had a serious face, so I didn't know what to say next, but I asked her the question anyways.

"So what do you think of my story?"

"You still didn't tell me what I want to know. like how you got your scars. like how you died. How you came back. tell me about that."

I had to tell her to sit again because she said those words as she was pacing back-and-forth but I knew she cared about me so I had to tell her.

"After he left me I went back home and took a shower and I went to my friend's club. I told her everything but as I told her everything I knew something was wrong and I asked her and she told me that he was here and as soon as she said that I walked out the room that we were in but she stopped me. she told me that his uncle is in town. I knew that if I went into the room I probably wouldn't even be seen anymore. His uncle can make people disappear and I don't even know why his uncle was in town or why he was seeing him. so I went back into the room and I waited almost 2 hours and that's when I got agitated so I went to the bar and got me a beer but I didn't even get to drink my beer because as soon as I was about to take a sip he came out with four bottles of alcohol two vodka two tequila. "

I didn't even wanna finish the story because if I continued probably all the memories would come back.

"hey if you don't want to finish it you don't have to."

Jacqueline was so sincere, but I had to tell somebody.

"no, I'm finishing it. he went outside the door I followed him but I was too late he was already close to his car. so I went to my car and I followed him. he was going to our favorite spot."

I took a drink water to calm my nerves down before I speak the words I never wanted to speak of.

"as I arrived at the place I saw him at the edge of the cliff with three empty bottles and 1/2 bottle. I called out his name but he never answered. I Musta called his name like five times. I don't remember but I guess he finally got annoyed and finally answered me. should've seen his face. he hated my guts."

My eyes started to water and my words started to sound different. I had to get a hold of myself.

"hey, we can stop and you can tell me another day."

She was so nice but I had to get it off my chest.

"no! what did I say?! I said no?"

"OK go ahead and tell me then."

She gave me a worried look but I didn't care I was already used to it.

"like I said he hates my guts. You should have seen his face and reaction. "

"What do you mean face and reaction?" Really you're not even going to let me finish what I have to say

"Maybe if you let me finish then I can explain it. what I mean is when I arrived there it's like he didn't even want to see me. like I was a problem or something. I don't know if it was the alcohol or something but he told me to answer some questions and I answered them, but when he didn't give me an answer to what I asked I replied even longer to the questions and that's when he became like a child like I don't know how to say it. he wanted to act crazy. Even though I answered his questions he came at me angry said the same things when he rejected me. that I was weak why did the moon goddess give me to him? I'm human and then out of nowhere he put his hand around my neck with his claws coming out in one hand and one on my hip with his claws coming out. it's surprised me What he did I knew he was angry at me but I didn't know that he would do anything physical to me."

I had to take a deep breath before saying the next words. Jacqueline just looks at me with pity. just like the doctor did when I woke up

"I tried to get out of his grip, but every time I did he would squeeze harder around my neck. he told me that if I try to escape, his claws will go in deeper. even though I didn't move I tried to breathe for air. but he would block my circulation Even though I didn't move. as he squeezed harder and harder I couldn't breathe anymore. blood started clogging my airway and I started seeing black dots and that's when somebody tore him off of me and his claws ripped through my skin and all over my body. I didn't notice that his hand went up my shirt and I guess someone came to help and pulled him off and when they did they pulled his claws as well."

As I looked up Jacqueline was crying towards my words so I just continue my story.

"so after that, I woke up in the hospital and the doctor told me that I was three months pregnant and that I was in a coma for three months, oh and you want to know what else everybody thinks I'm dead. yeah everybody thinks I'm dead. they had a funeral and everything. nobody came see to me just one person came to check up on me to make sure what's living inside me is healthy and still alive. The thing is I don't know what his purpose was to keep me alive but whatever it was he failed at it."

After I finished that, I broke down. I cried and Jacqueline came and hugged me. I don't know if she believes me or I don't know if she just feels pity for me.

"I hope you know I believe you right."

"Why is that?"

"The real reason because you're in Pennsylvania/Gettysburg did you not look it up where you're going."

Jacqueline made no sense right now and I probably had a confused face

"Gettysburg/Pennsylvania is based off of mythical creatures. we have to have an open mind and believe it or not I'm a witch if you want me to prove it this you're looking at this is a disguise."

"OK fine. go ahead and change I won't judge."

(Elven style / witch ) Jacqueline

"You're beautiful.why would you ever be normal .why would you ever hide." she smiled when I said this I made her happy. after what I told her today

"Thank you. nobody's ever said that about me I'm the odd one in the coven."

"Is that why you left."

"what do you mean? "

"do you remember when we were on the plane and you talked about how your family treated you wrong. you're running away from them aren't you?"
