Chapter 16: Lie's.
Tuesday morning around almost around 11:00am,Austin woke up,and as he did,he groaned,and stretched in bed when he slowly began to open his eye's.
Mmm,good morning,Dawn...Austin muttered softly when he soon began to yawn softly.
But,when the young man's eye's were fully opened,he blinked a few time's when he saw that his lover wasn't even in bed at all as he had shifted up into bed,wondering where she could have been.
Dawn? Dawn! Are you home?
Hearing to see if she would reply back,she didn't,and that he started sniffing the air as she wasn't even at home,either.
Where could she be?
Without thinking,he remembered what she had said last night,and he let out a sigh.
Of course...
With Dawn,the young woman was working at the public library,and that she was busy helping around as she was working her hardest.
Dawn,is it okay if you can help put the book's back onto the shelf for me? Ryan asked,looking at her.
Yes,sir. I can be able to do that for you.
Doe's uh..Austin know that your here?
Uhh,no. No,he doesn't know that i'm here and i-i tried to tell him,but he said that i shouldn't overwork myself too death. He just..need's to learn that i'm a young woman who's trying to do something nice for her man and beside's,i'm only doing this for a reason as i don't..wanna talk about it.
Well,alright,then,but my nephew will track your scent,and he's going to find out that your actually here. I will tell him that your here and i'll reason with him,trust me.
Thank you,Ryan. I do appreciate it so much.
The young woman smiled and started to push the cart of book's as she began to walk down to the book aisle into putting them back where they belong.
While that the young woman was busy,she began to hum softly as she didn't want to bother or disturb anyone inside of the library.
Before she put the book's back onto the shelf,she would sometime's read the book title,and that she wondered who or what would want to read a book like that as some of the book's were love,monster,and romance novel's.
Huh,i guess there someone out there who like's to read monster book's such as this one.
But,what the young woman didn't know was that somebody was watching her from afar,and that she didn't know about it when all of a sudden,she suddenly had stopped what she was doing.
Hmm?
Turning around from behind her,the young woman's eye's wided a bit when she saw that Sheldon was right behind her,and that the two were six feet away from each other.
Sheldon? Dawn tilted her head a little and she wasn't all surprised to see him here early this morning as she continued to look at him.
Good morning to you,too.
The mysterious young man continued to look back at her and that he was smiling at her as she didn't take her eye's off of him.
What are you doing here? Dawn asked,wanting to know.
I came to see if i could find a book about..werewolve's.
W-Werewolve's?
The young woman remembered what had happened back at the engagement party and that she thought about what had happened as well when she started to feel nervous,but she tried to hide it.
Why on earth would a half human,half vampire want a book about werewolve's? This guy obviously doesn't even look like he's into those kind's of book's,he look's like he could be into something else than wanting a monster book. Uhh,i think i might be able to help you with that. May i ask why you want to have a book such as that?
Oh,i just wanted to know just what werewolve's are really like. I know that some act like real dog's such as pet dogs and that werewolve's are nothing,but scary,and vicious monster's that people called back in the olden way's.
O-O-Oh,i-i see..
The young woman then turned away to not look at him and that she had the look of concern on her face as she didn't know if this guy knew about her secret just yet or not,but she could tell that he was hiding something,but she couldn't figure it out just yet.
Please,come this way..
She began to walk to where the book the young man had wanted and he reluctantly started to follow behind her.
While the two were walking,the young woman then let out an exclaim because the mysterious young man was right by her side,and he looked at her,wondering what was wrong.
Is something wrong? Sheldon asked,looking at her to make sure if she was okay or not.
You just..startled me is all..Why are you--?
I thought that walking beside you would be better since i don't like walking behind anyone,i hope that i didn't scare you or anything.
N-No,your fine. I was just..surprised is all..
The two made it to the monster aisle and while the young woman was looking through the shelve's,she caught a glimpse of looking at him,and that he too,was looking back at her as her eye's wided a bit.
Looking away very quickly,she had found the book that the man had wanted,and she handed him the book when he took the book right out of her hand's.
Thank you. Sheldon thanked her and he began to read through some of the page's as he let out a soft sigh.
I'm glad that i was happy to have found what you were looking for,i should go,and head back--
Her word's were trailed off because the mysterious young man had her up against the wall and that he was onto her,and hovering over her.
U-Um-- Dawn had started to say,looking up at him. What are you doing?
The mysterious young man was looking down at her and that the young woman was short,and that he was taller than her as she looked around to see if anybody was looking,but there was no one around to help her.
Sheldon? What are you--?
How come you never told me that you were half human,half wolf?
Gasping softly,the young woman looked at him,and she thought that how did he found out about that as she thought about Don.
Who-Who told you that?
Don,he told me about it,and i couldn't believe it myself. He explained and told me everything what had happened at the engagement party. My friend's even told me that you were even being mean to them all as well as..i'm quite shocked to see that an innocent,kind hearted young woman such as you would even say those word's to my dear friend's.
What are you talking about? Your dear friend's were the one's who pulled me out of the dancefloor and grabbed me so sudden!
Which is why i understand why you said all of those thing's to them and i don't blame you.
Huh?
The young woman looked at the mysterious young man by surprise and that she was a bit confused.
I'm so sorry that had to happen to you,my friend's can be a bit..overprotective and worried about me since i am their master to them,and that they all know what has happened to me before..
Before what?
Before i lost the one that i love...
Wh-Who?
Johanna,Johanna Perez...She remind's me so much of you...You have her eye's,her hair,and even her kindness to other's...
H-Huh?
This made the young woman feel awkward and embarrassed all at the same time,and that the mysterious young man reached over,and touched,and rub her strand of hair.
Dark as the night and light as the day...Sheldon whispered softly,leaning over toward's her ear. Beauty that no man or anyone can ever have...
Sh-Sheldon,what are you--? Mmph!
Closing her eye's,she began to shake because she felt him blow into her ear gently,while she had her eye's closed.
I bet you taste like her,too...
Then,she opened her eye's because she remembered what Sheldon had said to her out onto the dancefloor back at the engagement party.
Do you remember what i told you out onto the dancefloor back at the engagement party? Sheldon asked,his fang's starting to come out,while narrowing his eye's. I told you that i was craving,but not your blood...
The young woman tried to say something,but her word's felt like they weren't coming out of her mouth.
I'm craving you,but a more..intercourse,sexual way...Sheldon said softly,looking into her eye's.
Y-You-You can't! I-I'm already in a relationship with someone and you know that.
I know that,but i alway's get what i want.
Ah!
Slamming his hand onto the book shelf,he then leaned over closer to her face,and that his lip's were almost close to her's.
Are you willing to do that? Giving me your body?
I dare you to say something else,you arrogant bastard...
The two heard the familiar voice and to their surprise,it was Austin as the young man was staring back at the two.
Austin! Dawn exclaimed his name,blushing lightly.
Get off of my girl and leave her alone.
Doing as he was told,the mysterious young man got off of her,and that Dawn was about to say something else as her lover grabbed her wrist a little too hard.
Ah,ow! Austin,that hurt's! What are you doing?
What am i doing? What are You doing? You knew that you had an appointment to see your psychiatrist's today.
The young woman then looked the other way,while having the look of concern on her face.
Just as i thought,an excuse you had to make. Austin said,rolling his eye's. Did you drive up here or did someone bring you here.
I-I asked your uncle to drive me up here and that i told him that i would be--
Well,once your appointment is done,and over with,i will be giving a call to my uncle as soon as possible. Come on,we need to go now or else we'll be late.
The young man was still holding onto his lover's wrist and he was pulling her,making her follow him,which she did as she turned to look back at Sheldon.
When she looked back at him,he watched her,and that the two had left the public library.
Was that Austin and Dawn leaving? Ryan asked,walking up to Sheldon,having a curious look on his face.
Yeah,it was..
Austin was driving his lover to Latitude Mental Health office so that Dawn could be able to go see her psychiatrist's today.
The young woman was quiet and that she didn't say anything as the young man could tell that something was up with her.
Dawn,i thought i told you not to work yourself too death. I don't want you to--
I know you don't want me to,i understand that,but i can do what i wanna do. I mean,i'm not a kid anymore,and i should be able to do whatever the hell i want. Sheesh,your treating me as if i'm a child or something.
Well,why are you working,then? Is there a reason why?
But,the young woman didn't say anything,and that she had her arm's crossed over her chest as she didn't reply or say anything back to him when he let out a soft sigh.
After about a few minute's,the two made it to their stop,and that he parked the car as he got out,but she didn't when he looked at her.
Honey,come on. We need to go in.
I-I don't want to go in..Can't you just call and reschedule my appointment?
No,i can't. Glen called me yesterday and he confirmed that you would see your psychiatrist's today as i promised him that you would see them both.
Sighing,the young woman was looking down,while having the look of concern on her face as he shut his door,and came over to her side of the car,wondering what was wrong with her.
Dawn,it's going to be okay. I'll be there for you no matter what,i promise.
How do you know that for sure that i'm going to be okay? What if they ask me question's? I mean,look what happened last time. I..talked about my past and i felt..a little uncomfortable about it..
I know that,but it wasn't that bad. I was there for you and i'm still going to be here for you until the very end.
The two then began to look at each other and as they did,he saw that she was starting to shake a little,and that she let out a deep sigh as she got out of the car.
She closed the door behind her and that she had a confident look on her face when the wind began to blow her hair a little.
Okay,let's do this,then...Dawn replied softly.
The two had entered the building and as they walked into the office,the two were quite surprised that nobody else was there,but just as they were already in the office,the two saw their psychiatrist's when the two were standing by the door.
We're so glad that you two made it in time. Glen said to the two,while smiling. It's been a while since we haven't seen each other.
Dawn's hand began to shake and as it did,her lover reached his hand out to her's,and held her hand when she too,held his hand back in return.
How come..there aren't any other people around?
Oh,we decided to let everyone have a day off so that way,Dawn could feel at ease. Nancy said to Austin when he asked her that question. We would appreciate it very much if you were there with her for this.
Ohh,okay. I don't plan to leave her alone,anyway. I told her that i would be right there beside her no matter what. Something's not right,i have a suspicious feeling that these two are hiding something from me,i just don't know what it is just yet. There's no one around and that's suspicious,indeed.
The four reached into the room and as they did,the lovey dovey couple were both sitting right next to each other,while the two psychiatrist's were sitting across from the two as everyone looked at each other.
Dawn,do you know why your here today? Glen asked the young woman all of a sudden,holding onto his clipboard,and continuing to look at her.
Hmm,i thought that i was here today to have a talk if that's what i'm thinking.
Well,you could say that,but this is all about you,and you alone. Just..pretend that Austin isn't here?
Huh,pretend that he isn't here? What the hell doe's he mean by that,exactly?
Looking at the young man right in front of her,Dawn had a confused look on her face,and she agreed,while nodding at him in agreement.
When Dawn looked at the Nancy,she saw that she had a concerned look on her face and she wondered why was she making a face like that.
What did..you wanted to talk about? Dawn asked all of a sudden,turning to look back at Glen.
I was hoping that maybe we can talk about you,has anything happened apparently or frequently? Anything at all?
When Glen had asked her this,the young woman's eye's wided a bit when she thought about seeing Kendrick,what had happened at the engagement party,and of course,about Austin as she didn't know what to say when she faked a smile on her face.
Uhh,why do you..need to know about that? I-I don't think..anything new has happened to me and if it did,why would it? Ohh,i hate lying so much. I don't like talking about thing's since i don't want to hurt the one's that i know,and love,especially to Austin...I have been seeing Kendrick,something did happen to me back at the engagement party,and maybe..i might be..scared that Austin will dislike me...
The young woman was about to say something,but she had stopped herself when all of a sudden,her eye's wided a bit in fear,and that she saw Kendrick was standing right in the middle of Glen,and Nancy.
Ah!
This made the young woman exclaim in surprise and that she got out of her seat when Austin,Glen,and Nancy all looked at Dawn,trying to see what she was seeing or what was going on.
Dawn,are you okay? Glen asked her,still looking at her. What's wrong? You look like you've seen a..ghost.
Gasping softly,the young woman looked at Glen,and that she brushed it off by pretending to laugh as she sat down back in her seat.
There's-There's nothing wrong,everything is okay!
Austin looked at his lover and as he did,he knew for sure that she was lying,and that Glen didn't dare to take his eye's off of her.
But,everything is not okay to you,is it now? Glen mistaken her and that he cleared his throat. Dawn,who did you see just now? Is someone else in the room with you beside's us?
No,there's nobody else in the room with us at all.
Austin and Nancy both stayed quiet as the two were both hearing Dawn,and Glen's conversation.
Who did you see? You looked as if..you had the look of fear in your eye's when you saw someone who was in the middle with us.
The young woman didn't say anything and that she kept quiet when he said that to her.
I don't know what your talking about,i thought that i saw a bug or something.
You know you can't ignore you easily just like that...Kendrick whispered into Dawn's ear,while smiling.
Ahh!
The young woman got up off of the chair real quickly and as she did,she looked around the room,and that she saw Kendrick,smiling at her.
Dawn,are you okay? Austin asked,looking at her,with concern.
Letting out gasp's,the young woman was starting to breath hard,and that she could feel her heart pounding right out of her chest.
You saw him,didn't you? Glen asked,studying Dawn's behavior. You saw Kendrick,didn't you?
N-No,i didn't. It-It felt like..something brushed up against my ear,that's all.
Dawn,It's okay. We just want to help you and i'm here to help you no matter what,you can trust me.
Trying to breath normally,the young woman backed away from the wall,and that her back had hit the wall when she glared right back at him.
Help me? How are you suppose to help me? Your help is doing,but nothing!
Dawn...Austin replied her name softly,having a concerned look on his face when he saw that she had her back up against the wall. Honey,i-it's okay. They're really trying their best to help you and it's okay,i'm here for you.
Looking down at the ground,the young woman began to shake,and as she did,the three heard some rattling noise's when that the young woman had stopped shaking,the noise's had stopped.
What's in your pocket,Dawn? Glen asked,wanting to know what was in her pocket when he got out of his seat,standing a few feet away from each other.
Reaching into her pocket and holding it up,everyone couldn't believe what they were all seeing as it was Dawn's bottle of Anxiety medication.
Is that--? Nancy started to ask,looking at the medication bottle.
You haven't been taking your medicine,haven't you? Asked Glen,starting to walk over toward's her. Why is that?
St-Stay back!
Shaking a little,Austin couldn't believe that his girlfriend was lying to him,saying that she was taking her medication,which she wasn't as he glared at her.
Dawn,why? Why did you lie to me?
The lovey dovey couple both looked at each other and as they did,tear's were starting to form into her eye's when she was trying to hold back the tear's.
I-I'm sorry,th-they weren't working for me...I-It-It just made thing's even worse!! Dawn shouted loudly,throwing the pill bottle hard,which made all the pill's scatter all over the floor as Glen had stopped in his track's. They weren't helping me at all,they just weren't! I-I can't stop seeing Kendrick and i'm s-so scared...!
Hugging herself and shaking uncontrollably,the young woman slid down to the ground,still hugging herself,and shaking.
Please,make it go away...I-I just want it all to go away...I just want to live a normal life and forget all about that...
Then,all of a sudden,Dawn's ear's,and tail came out along with her fang's as she began to whimper softly.
Nancy couldn't believe what she was hearing and seeing as she then looked at her husband,who was standing there all quiet,and shock all at the same time.
What's happening to her? Nancy thought to herself,still not taking her eye's off of the young woman right in front of her.
A lot has happened to me,yes...I've been seeing Kendrick before we started seeing you two,and he-he tell's me thing's that i don't want to hear...There was a lot that's happened to me at the engagement party and Austin?
Looking at him,she had a worried look on her face when he let out a soft gasp.
D-Dawn--! Austin started to protest,still looking at her,with concern,and worry on his face growing upon his face as he didn't even dare take his eye's off of her. I'm here for you,please remember that!
I'm sorry if i ever lied to you and the reason why i didn't take my medication was that..i didn't want to end up being a pill popper,just like my family was...I-I-- Ah...
Then,the young woman let out a soft gasp,and as she did,she had fainted onto her side onto the floor when she had her eye's closed.
