Chapter 14
A Complicted Relationship: 14
There was a stifling silence that seemed to consume the room. No one made a move, just stared at eachother. It was so quiet I could hear the constant ticking from the clock hanging over the mantel. I think you would be able to hear a needle drop on the carpet. Claire still had that murderous look as she eyed us with hatred. How the hell did she know what we are? But there was something about her that told me to watch my back. I heard a low growl sound from seth. I quickly turned towards him. I saw his mouth pulled back in a snarl and his fangs were begining to extend.
"SETH" he snapped out of it. Looking over at me. 'who is she' I heard him say throught the link. I shook my head. I focused back on her. She took a challenging step forward causing my wolf to growl with anger. 'How dare she challange me' he growled. I held him at bay as I gave her a warning glare.
She gave us an amused chuckle
"what are you two pups doing in my granchildrens home?" She hissed. This woman needs to calm down or this isn't going to end well. Andrew finally seemed to come to as he put his hand on her shoulder.
"Grams whats going on? What do you mean by werewolves?" He asked giving us uneasy glances once in awhile.
"Drew these animals are not safe to be around why are they in the house? where is angie?" She asked him never once taking her eyes off of us. This caused me to release a dangerous growl. How dare she assume I would hurt my precious angel, I would never. Andrew sent me a weird look.
"Did he just-"
"WHERE IS SHE!!!" Apparently her patient was wearing thin. Andrew quickly pointed in the direction of her room.
"u-up stairs, her room" he stuttered.
Claire started to move over to the stairs but I rushed over blocking her way.
"stay away from her" I growled. Her eyes grew wide as her face turned red in anger.
"YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TELLING ME TO STAY AWAY FROM MY OWN GRANDUGHTER!!!" I don't know how but I some how ended up on the other side of the room crashing into a glass table. It only took me a few seconds to pull myself from my daze, then the realization hit me. I shot up and again maintained my post at the bottom of the stairs.
"WHAT THE HELL!" I barley even noticed andrews frantic voice as I crouched before her ready to attach at any time, glaring daggers.
"I understand now" I said. She narrowed her eyes at me and stood in a stance ready for anything.
"What do you think you know dog" she snapped.
This was the first time I met one but I remember my dad warning me about them. How they were our mortal enemies, how its life of death between us. 'if you come across them know that they will kill you, so you must beat them to it. Do not hesitate!' I could still heard my dad lecturing me about it. The problem was I couldn't kill her, because shes my mates grandmother. She would hate me if I hurt her, I was already on thin ice with angie anyways. My jaw clenched in frustration. Damnit!
"whats wrong mutt, Cat got your tounge?" Man she was really pushing it with the names.
"Shut up"
"what do you think your doing anyways? Trying to protect angelina from me? How sweet, go home mutt." She commanded.
"make me gradma"
"Whats going on?"
I think we all froze as we heard her. I turned to look at her as she sleepily desended the stairs, rubbing the back of her hand against her eyes.
"I heard a crash" I turned back to claire. She had her eyes narrowed at me 'say a single word to her and I will personaly take it upon myself to kill you' she threatened me mentaly. I growled for only her to hear.
'I don't take lightly to threats' I hissed. Who did this woman think she was. She had no idea how hard I was trying to restrain myself from ripping her head off. Just the thought of her threat almost made me lose control but I stopped when I felt angie place a small hand on my shoulder. "eli? Grams?" I watched her take in the room, the shattered glass, andrews' scared face and mine, claires and seths angry expressions. "whats going on?" She asked her face etched in worry. Nobody spoke.
"How are you dear?" Claire said sweetly causing me to roll my eyes. She could act sweet all she wanted but I knew she was no angel. More like the devil. 'Watch it' she said. With a raised brow I smirked. 'Oh so you don't like names?' I shrugged 'to bad'.
"hun can you come here" my smirk vanished as angie walked over to her. I watched as claire engulfed her into a big hug. I wanted to yank her back, hold her in my arms and protect her from this dangerous threat. Wait, if claire was what I thought she was wouldn't that mean angie was the same.
Angie's Pov:
The sound of something breaking woke me. I shot up from my bed and sleepily made my way out. I could see light causing my eyes to burn as the adjusted. Once I was at the stairs I saw the back of eli at the bottom of the stairs.
"whats going on?" I asked as I made my way down. "I heard a crash." Once I was at the bottom I noticed the tension in the air, it was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Everone had the same expression except drew who looked totally freaked. Besides him it was all angry and tense faces. Seth, eli and grams. Wait grams? When did she get here? Eli and grams were in a serious glare session. I also noticed our glass table was in peices. I touched eli's shoulder to get his attention. "Eli? Grams?" I kept my gaze wandering from the table to each face "whats going on?"
I was met by silence which caused my worry to spike. What is going on?
"how are you dear" my grams sweet voice caught my attention. I was about to answer when she gave eli a death stare. I acually shivered from the intensity of it. What did he do?
"Hun can you come here?" She asked. She was holding her arms out ready for a hug. I rushed over to her and basked in the security and warmth of her presence. The smell of her perfume hit me and memories of me playing and being happy with her came to me. Gawd I miss her.
"oh honey I've missed you so much" my grandmother said tightening her hold in me.
"you to grandma" I said. I pulled back to look up into her similar eyes. "what are you doing here?" I asked.
"what you don't want me here?" She said placing her hand over her heart playing as if I had hurt her feelings.
"no I mean what possesed you to come over in the middle of the night?"
"your brother called, saying you hadn't come home and that you were in trouble. So I rushed right over ready to go looking for you but it seems your fine."
"yeah, eli and seth found me and brought me home" I responded as I stepped back from our embrace.
I watched her face change from gentle to hard in not even a second flat. Her hard eyes glared behind me where eli stood. Why is she looking at him like that? Shouldn't she be thanking him? I looked behind me to see the same expression. Now that I think about it they were doing that when I first came in. what happened?
"Grams are you alright?" Her gaze landed back to me.
"Yes hun, why do you ask" shrugging I answered.
"you look tense that all" giving me a gentle smile she took my hand and lead me in the living room and we took a seat. Everyone followed but in a causious manner. Why is everone acting so weird, even andrew. Once everyone or more like drew was seated; eli and seth chose to stand against the wall with grim faces. I saw grams frown at them.
"I think its time for you to go home were having a family discussion " she said through gritted teeth. Eli took a step forward but seth put his arm out in front of his chest preventing him from moving. I peered up at him confused before turned my attention back on grams.
"they can stay" she didn't appear to like that very much
"I prefure they didn't"
"were not going anywhere" eli snapped he sounded determined. I could tell nothing would be able to move him. Grams pursed her lips in annoyance.
"Grams, really its ok" she relaxed as she peered back at me.
"fine. Hun, I have to tell you something" she pause so I nodded for her to continue.
"but first, what happened to you earlier? Do you remember?" she asked in a serious tone.
I frowned at her question. "why?"
"I need to know everything" I looked down to our still clasped hands.
"yes" my voice sounded small and weak as I recalled the dreaded memories. I felt grams squeeze my hand to encourage me. I took a deep breath and summoned all I had to put on a brave face as I looked up at grams pacient face.
"well, I was just getting off work and started walking home."
"Why didn't you call me, you know how I feel about you walking alone from work. I mean you could have asked someone for a ride too" andrew cut in. I looked over at him
"Im sorry, I didn't want be a nuisance to anyone." It was the truth, like I said I hate to ask for things. I heard drew scoff.
"Nuisance!" His voice rose making me jump a little. "Ang you could never be an nuisance, especially to me" he looked hurt. I caused me pain to see him like this.
"I know drew"
"angelina" I heard grams pressing for me to continue.
"right...um, well I was almost home when I got this weird feeling like I was being followed or watched but I just thought I was being paranoid. But the feeling kept getting stronger so I tried to rush and get home. I was about to open the door when... When someone came up behind me." I forced out.
The thought of that man re-newed the terror I had felt ealier. I started to shiver and my breathing began to quicken. I didn't want to go on but grams nodded for me to continue. I looked around the room, and everyone was anxiously waiting too.
"what did he do?" She asked so I took another deep breath
"well he put his hand over my mouth so I started to struggle then he told me to be a good little girl and cooperate. Like that was going to happen so I struggled more then my body went numb, I don't know how but I couldn't move." Grams lips were in a grim line.
"Do you know what he looked like?" She asked but I shook my shook my head.
"No, I never got a good look at him. The last thing I remember was how helpless and scared I was before he knocked me out" I heard a growl which caused my heart to jump. My head snapped towards eli. I saw his jaw tightened, he looked ready to strangle someone. I don't know why but that made me inwardly smile that he cared about my saftey to the point were it angered him. I still was ify about what he was and wanted some questions answered but he did save me, that meant something right?
Grams squeezed my hand to get my attention.
"Angelina, I'm going to tell you something that your parents and I have been trying to keep from you till the right time. I wasn't going to be the one to tell you, your father was but I have to." I stared at her scared of what she was going to tell me. But the mention if my father caused my heart to tighten in grief. I instantly wanted to know what he was planning to tell me.
"Okay" there was a pressing silence making me shift with anxiety.
"angelina...your a witch." I barley heard The gasps that filled the room. I just stared at her like she had lost it. I waited for her to laugh and say 'I got you' like some bad joke or something but it never came, her face was completely serious. I mean how fo you respond to that? Well let me tell you its hard to take it seriously.
"A witch?" I said when I found my voice. "like pointy hat, ugly clothes, bubbly cauldrons, long nose with warts type witch?" I asked. She looked confused with my discription.
"N-No, those are made up creatures for the humans amusement"
"your kidding me right?" She just shook her head.
"Grams I think you might need some rest. You had a long drive here it was probably tyring for you" Andrew said getting to his feet to help her up. Grams shot up from the couch giving him a disapproving look.
"I am not a loon this is true. I heard from the witchs society that carter is planning something, Something very bad and their after angelina to do!"
