Chapter 4 CHAPTER 04
RAVENS POV
We watched television for a while, but I was getting bored with it. So, I picked up one of the mystery novels, it looked interesting. I started to read. Hawkins and Clare were watching another show that did not interest me.
"Raven, you're so quiet, are you ok?" Hawkins asked me.
"Yah, I'm just reading. Do you think this Joe is going to be an ok guy?" I asked
"Yes, you need not worry about him. He has helped people for years. All through the States and Canada. He is known for saving a lot of teens." He told me.
"You're not going to leave us, right?" I finally asked.
"Is that what has been bothering you? Raven, you think I'm just going to dump you there and leave?". Hawkins asked. Clare looked at me too scared.
"No, I'm not leaving you," I said, looking at Clair, then looked at Raven.
"Either of you." I noticed suddenly how Hawkins said that .But I shrugged it off. Clare seemed more scared than I did. She clung to Hawkins more. Spirit said it was more than that, but I said she was wrong.
"You have some big changes coming, Raven. we are special," Spirit told me.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
" Go look in the mirror, Raven. I will show you something." She said. I excused myself and went into the corner where the toilet sink and mirror were.
"Don't get scarred. Look into the mirror." She said. I looked up into the mirror, and my eye went from blue to violet glowing at me. Then back to blue. I covered my mouth so I would not scream.
"What the hell was that?" Spirit. I asked.
"That is us, Raven. You are not an ordinary werewolf. You come from a long line of blood wolves. You will discover over time that we have many abilities." Spirit told me.
"Are you trying to scare me?" Because you're doing a good job of it!" I told her.
'
"It is time you started learning who you are, Raven. You will have to learn to control and use the powers given to you in the right manner." Spirit tried to explain to me.
"Raven? Are you ok in there?" Hawkins asked.
"Yes, just fine, I was looking at my hair." I said, going back to sit with them
"Your hair is changing to a brighter red." Clair said.
"Yah, that's what I thought too." I told her.
There was no way I was going to mention my eyes to either of them. I went back to reading while they watched some cop show on the television. Soon, my eyes grew heavy, and I fell asleep.
When I woke up the next morning, both Clare and Hawkins were already up.
"Good morning, Raven." Hawkins said as he got up and came over to the bed and sat down. Clare was eating and talking to some stranger at the table.
"Raven, are you ok?" Hawkins asked.
"Yes, why?" I asked.
"You were very restless in your sleep last night. Yelling something about your eyes." He said.
"Oh, weird, probably just a bad dream or something. I feel great. Sorry if I disturbed you, and Clare." I said.
"You did not disturb anyone, Raven. You know you mean as much to me as Clare does, " he said. I did not mean for it to come out that way. I had noticed them getting closer, and my mom always told me about the mate bond even at 8 years old. When I asked her about how her and Daddy had met. I thought they were mates, but they did not know it yet. I didn't say anything because maybe I could be wrong.
"Where is your head, Raven?" He asked.
"It is nothing. I'm just anxious about the trip, I guess." I lied to him. But he bought it.
"Come meet Joe. He is a really nice werebear." Hawkins said. Ok, now I was freaked out werebears killed my grandparents before I was born. There is no such thing as a nice werebear.
"I will stay here. Do we have to go with him?"
I asked, trembling.
"Raven, what is it? As soon as I mention werebear, you started shaking." Hawkins asked.
"I don't want to go with him. He is going to kill us." I said and started to cry.
"Raven, he is not going to kill us. Where did you get that idea? He asked
"Dad told me that before I was born, werebears killed my grandparents." I said through my tears. I guess Joe heard me because he came over to where we are sitting on the bed. I went behind Hawkins, shaking.
"You know a friend of mine showed me how to make you not afraid of me. Do you want to meet my bear and see he will not hurt you." Joe said. Clare came over with us.
"I will meet your bear, Joe," she said. Joe went behind the screen of the bathroom. I could hear the breaking of his bones. When he came out, he was a huge Black grizzly bear. That stood almost as tall as I was. Clare waved him over. Joes bear walked over and flopped down to get a belly rub. Clare laughed. Then dragged me off the bed. She had to drag me. I was shaking. Hawkins took my hand to give me the courage. I stood very still when the bear licked me.
"Gross, bear slobber," I said. He rolled back over to his back for a belly rub again. I had to laugh. I gave him a belly rub. Finally, he got up and went back behind the screen shifted and dressed coming out from behind the screen he was smiling.
"Raven, those who killed your parents were not they same werebear as my friend and I are. We live in a community like you do a pack. It is good to be cautious, but only rouge bears would kill wolves for no reason." Joe told me I nodded my head.
"Come on, let's finish breakfast while it is still warm." Hawkins said. But like the day before, I ate just a small amount. Maybe when I knew we were safe, my nerves would settle down, and I could eat better. Hawkins noticed I did not eat much but never commented. I'm sure I will hear about it.
"I assume you all left without cells?" Joe asked. I looked at Hawkins.
"The truth is, Joe, I left mine so I could not be tracked. The girls were never allowed to have them. Alpha law no servant could have any possessions." He told him.
"That is awful." Joe said.
"We will talk more later." Hawkins told him.
"Well, the girls are in for a treat then because I have phones for all three of you." Joe said, grabbing three cell phones out of his bag and passing us each one. I could not believe I was holding my own cell phone, and no one would take it away from me.
