Chapter 6
Cole stirred in his sleep before opening his eyes. He notice two things: how he felt so free in his Soul…and the beauty sleeping in his arms. The sunlight that was coming in was making her skin glow, making her look like a dream…that has come into his life.Chapter 6
He kissed her forehead and said softly, “Wake up…my Love.”
She stirred before she opened her eyes to look at him. “Hey,” she said as she hugged him, “It’s nice to see you in the morning.”
“Same here,” he replied as he brushed her hair back, “How do you feel this morning?”
“A little sore in places…after last night,” she said before giving him a quick kiss, “but it was worth it to feel your Love for me.”
“After waiting 3,000 years in the darkness, being able to Feel the Light in my Soul is the greatest Gift I got from you,” he said with a smile, “As much as I want to prove that…again, we better get up.”
She knew what he meant when she Sensed two people coming towards the tent. “But my clothes…” she said as she saw her clothes around them.
“Don’t worry,” Cole said as he put on his boxers, “There’s an outfit in the night bag.”
*********
By the time Alyssa finished getting dressed, she realized the type of clothes she was wearing now. With a light pink shirt that shaped her chest and a black skirt that was mid-thigh, yet the hidden shorts made her feel less awkward about wearing the skirt; made her feel Stronger and more sure of herself and the other Hunters.AN: In case you want to know…I‘m talking about skorts…skirts with hidden shorts underneath. Hey, if you think about it for a sec, how do you think Alyssa (actress Jessica Rey) was able to fight in a skirt? ;)
She looked towards Cole as he got her Gem from her jean pocket. “I wish I had my Pendant back,” she said as she fingered the chain, “I miss feeling the Pendant around my neck.”
“You can,” he said as he gave her the Gem, “Think about the Pendant and use your Powers.”
So she closed her eyes and thought about her Pendant as her Gem glowed. Then the Light flew from her hand to her chain and turned into her Pendant. “I did it,” she said after opening her eyes and feeling her Pendant.
“I knew you would,” he said before he kissed her lips.
She was returning the kiss when they heard Celine say, “Could you two save it for later. Someone wants to meet Alyssa.”
They looked at Celine as she stood at the tent entrance. “Who is it?” Cole asked as he kept Alyssa close.
“You have to go out and see,” she replied, “and Cole…loosen up a bit. You’re starting to act like our Cousins.” With that, Celine left the tent.
“Cousins?” Alyssa asked.
“Ever read the Dark books by a Mrs. Feehan?” Cole said.
“Yea, but what does…you mean the stories of the Carpathians are true?” she replied in surprise. She has, up to date, all of the Dark Carpathians books and has a few of them memorized by heart.
To find out that they could be real was a shock.
“Mostly,” he said with a smile.
Deciding right then…not to question the topic more, she took his hand and followed him outside. Yet, she made a note to talk to Celine about it…in another time.
*********
Once out of the tent, Cole was surprised to see Taylor with Celine. “Taylor,” he said, “When did you get back?”“A few hours ago,” Taylor replied with a smile, “I can see that you were…too busy to notice.”
“For good reasons,” he replied as he put an arm around Alyssa, “Taylor, this is my Lifemate Alyssa Enrilé. Alyssa, this is Taylor Earhardt the Wild Eagle Hunter and Wild Sorceress.”
Alyssa gave Celine a look that held a question.
“Female Hunters are also Wild Sorceresses,” Celine said, “Taylor will train you in using you Sorceress Powers.”
“Sure,” Alyssa said, not minding working with Taylor, “When can we start?”
Celine notice the change in Alyssa…which was a good thing. Also, she was being more Trusting to others. “After breakfast,” she said with a smile, “and…after you use this.”
At that second Celine tossed something at Alyssa and she caught it. Alyssa saw that it was a Gold Cellphone that looked like her Tiger.
“It’s your Growl Phone,” Cole said, “Beside using it as a Cellphone; it becomes your Crystal Saber when needed. I believe you have a call to make.”
“I sure do,” Alyssa replied as she flip the phone open and dialed a number.
“Hello,” she heard Ebony say on the other end a minute later.
“Ebony, it’s me,” Alyssa said as she walked away from the others.
“Alyssa, thank god you called. I was so worried when you didn’t come home yesterday,” Ebony said, “Rick came by the house last night looking for you. When I told him you weren’t there, he got so mad that he almost broke in. If Tia didn’t show up then, he would have gotten in.”
“I’m sorry about that,” Alyssa replied as she felt Cole standing behind her, “Its just that I ended up staying at Cole’s…after a bad encounter with Rick.”
“At least Rick doesn’t know where Cole lives. Anyway…you sound different. Did you and Cole…do it?”
“Well…” she replied as she looked at Cole, “Let’s just say that I’m now out of the dating game…for good.”
“I’m so happy for you. From what you told me, Cole is a good guy for you. Well, I better tell Tia you’re ok.”
“Also tell her that I’ll be by to pay for the rent…and to pack my things,” Alyssa said, “I’m moving out.”
“Alyssa! You don’t have to do that.”
“I have to,” she cut in, “I don’t want anything to happen to you. You’re the Best Friend I’ve ever had since I came to Turtle Cove. Let’s just say I don’t want to be the cause of…a déjà vu moment to you.”
Ebony was quiet for a while before saying, “I feel the same way. Just…don’t forget to come by and visit once in a while. Ok?”
“You know I won’t even think it,” Alyssa said, “I’ll be there soon.”
Cole notice Alyssa’s mood as she closed her phone. “What’s wrong?” he asked.
“Rick,” she said, “He went looking for me…and scared my Best Friend. I think what happened might have brought up some old…and painful memories for her.”
“That’s why you wanted to move,” he said, understanding what she wasn’t saying, “to Protect her. I think I would like to meet her in person, she sounds like a caring person…like you my Love.”
“Good…cause I need the help moving my things,” she said before starting to run towards the house.
“How did she do that?” he asked as Taylor and Celine joined him.
“It’s a female trait,” Taylor said with a smile.
“Don’t worry,” Celine added, “You’ll have centuries to find out.”
Taylor and Celine walked towards the Temple as Cole smiled at the thought of centuries with Alyssa.
After using his Powers to pack up the tent, he started heading for the house.
********* *********
“I’ll tell you one thing about Cole…he’s very handy when its comes to moving,” Ebony said as she and Alyssa carried the suitcases down the stairs.“That and more,” Alyssa replied as they walked outside.
It didn’t take long for Cole to warm up to Tia and Ebony and be invited to the house anytime. For Ebony, Trusting Cole was a big step to believing in guys again. The way he was gentle around Ebony made Alyssa more in Love with her other half.
“Maybe one of these days, you could meet his Friends,” Alyssa added as they stopped at the red SUV.
“Maybe…if they’re like Cole,” Ebony said as she looked behind Alyssa, “Oh no…trouble coming this way.”
Seeing the look on Ebony’s face told Alyssa who was coming. She turned to see Rick coming their way with a dozen roses.
“Hello Alyssa,” he said as he stopped…and noticed the suitcase, “What’s going on?”
“I’m moving,” Alyssa said, “and no, I’m not telling you my new address. I’m tired of you trying to get someone who doesn’t want you. Plus, you scared my Best Friend and that’s something I won’t forget easily.”
“Ok. I may have been a bit angry yesterday,” he said, “but it doesn’t mean you have to act so cold to me.”
“You so deserve it…and more,” Alyssa replied, “I don’t want someone who mistreats other people like they’re worthless.”
“In short, back off,” Cole said as he stood behind Alyssa, “Alyssa has chosen who she wants in her life…and it’s not you. If I find you near Alyssa again, you’ll find out what I’m really like.”
The dangerous look on Cole’s face was more than enough for Rick to take a few steps back. “At least let me give her the roses I got for her,” he said.
Alyssa had a look on her face as she went to Rick, took the roses…and threw them in his face. “I would never accept anything from you,” she said.
She turned to go into the car, telling Cole on the way, “Let’s go.”
“Right,” he said as he gave Rick a last cold look before putting the suitcases in the trunk and closing it.
After a quick hug from Ebony, Alyssa closed the car door as Cole got into the driver seat.
Rick has a look on his face as the SUV backed out of the driveway and went down the street until it turns at the corner.
Before Ebony could go inside, he grabbed her arm and said, “What in the world is Cole up to?”
“Nothing you should know,” she replied as she tried to loosen his hold, “Cole’s a better man for Alyssa than you. Now let me go.”
“Not until you tell me about that guy,” he said as he tightened his hold.
Just as Ebony thought she was trapped, someone yelled, “Hey, leave her alone!”
Without warning, Rick was pulled away from Ebony and tossed to the ground. He quickly got to his feet and ran down the street.
Ebony didn’t notice Rick, as she was face to face with a guy…she only dreamed about.
While wearing a white and black shirt, jeans and boots, the guy looked strong. Yet while wearing glasses, he showed gentleness in his eyes…that made her not fear him. “Are you ok?” he asked as he led her to the porch stairs, “Did he hurt you?”
“A little bit,” she said shyly as they sat down, “but you got here before…it got worse. He only hurt my arm.”
“Good thing I came when I did,” he said as she gentle rubbed her arm, “Anyway, I’m Danny Delgado and you must be Ebony. Alyssa told me a lot about you.”
“Really?” she asked, “She’s really shy around guys…except for her Friend Cole.”
“Don’t worry, Cole’s my Best Friend. That’s how I met her,” Danny replied, “I was hoping to catch them before they left, but looks like I missed them.”
“They finished packing Alyssa’s things and left a few minutes ago,” she said, feeling more relax with Danny…and how his massage made her arm less painful.
“In that case, I better get going,” he said as he let go of her arm and stood up, “but…I hope to see you again.”
“When you’re in the area, just…drop by,” she said with a smile.
He returned the smile before heading for his black bike.
‘I’ve must have been scared to not hear Danny’s bike,’ she thought as she watched him put his helmet on and start the bike.
As she watches him dive off, she wondered how he knew she needed help. In the end, she thought, ‘Talk about being at the right place at the right time.’
She stood up and started to enter the house when she notices that the arm that Rick was holding didn’t hurt anymore. She touched the spot Danny was rubbing…and smiled warmly before entering the house.
********* *********
Rick was walking down an alleyway, still mad at what Alyssa did and said. “I’ve known her longer than that Cole,” he said, “and she picked him over me. One day, she’ll regret her choose.”“I can help you there,” a deep voice said from the shadows, “if you help me in return.”
Rick stopped and looked towards the shadows to see a figure there with red eyes. “What do I have to do?” he asked as he walked towards the shadow, liking the idea of revenge against Cole.
“Come into the darkness and I will tell you,” the voice said.
With an evil look in his eyes, Rick walked into the shadow…and blended into the darkness.
*********
When he came out a few minutes later, he had a dark look on his face as he said, “Soon Alyssa and Cole…you’ll find out how angry I can get.” His eyes flashed red for a second before he left the alley.‘While you do that, you will be the cause of master org’s downfall,’ Toxica thought as she walked out of the shadow, ‘Giving that human the spirit of an org maybe the path to removing those who are in my way.’
With one last look at Rick, she quickly disappeared from the area.
