In Love with a Shapeshifter (part 10)

As we enter the library, there is no one in it except us. We all wall over to an area with computers and books to research with.

We sit down at a table.

"So how are we going to do this?" I ask. I look at Crystal and she's staring at Evan. I slam my fist on the table and it snaps her out of it.

"Focus will ya." I ask.

"Yeah, yeah whatever, what do we need to do?" She asked.

"OK will do it like this, Me and Evan work on why they are used for good causes and Seth and you work on why there bad. Is that good?"

"Yeah, I'm fine with it, I guess." Says Seth.

"But I want to be with Evan." Says Crystal.

" Well, I'm sorry me and him are working together already. Deal with it." I stand up and grab Evans hand and walk over to the computers.

"Are you okay." He asked.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me. She was just making me so mad." I look at our hands still attached together. This time I don't let go, I hold on for some reason.

His hand is warm and tightly griping mine. It makes me feel safe.

"Can I ask you a werid question?" I ask.

"Yeah, what is it." He says looking at me.

"Do you know what happed to my grandmother? And why something was after me?"

He looked surprised and confused.

"I'm sorry,' I say letting go of his hand," it just came to mind, I'm sorry. It was just when I was holding g your hand, I felt safe from whatever was after me that night." I look at him to see if he look creeped out but, he wasn't.

"I do." He said.

"Wait what?! You do?!" I was surprised.

"Sit down and l'll tell you," We both sat down,"Well, I was the thing that was after you that night."

"What?! You were?"

"Yeah, I was. I was trying to take you back to my clan. But your grandmother heard me. That's why she was crying. She didn't want me taking you."

"But why?"

"Because she was afraid of us. She thought we killed your mother, and she didn't want to lose you. That's why she set the house on fire with me in it, to kill me."

"So it was your fault my grandmother died!?" I stood up and yelled.

"Yeah, you can say that." He said looking down.

"YOU MURDERER!!!", the tears were coming," you killed them, YOU KILLED THEM!!!" I start backing away. Then I turn around and run out of the library.

"Karla!! Karla!!" Yelled Evan after me.

I ran all the way to the front of the school. I burst open the doors and I was outside. I walk over to the nearest tree and and sit down.

The tears start coming. There coming down like a waterfall. Why would he do that? Kill my grandmother and mother. They were only the true family I had. Now there gone because of him.

I cried and cried behind that tree.

"Karla!!! Please let me explain!!!" Yelled a voice . I knew it was Evan. I curled myself tighter behind the tree so he would not know I'm here.

But he knew where I was. He came in front of me and sat down. He pulled he to him and hugged me. I let him because I felt cold inside and I needed the warmth.

"Your grandmother died because she wanted to save you. I tried to stop her but she would not let me get near her. Then she let the house on fire. I did not kill your mother ether. She died from someone else not me. Are you OK?" He said all of that into my ear softly.

All I do is nod.

I look up at him.

"Please don't be sad, when your sad it makes me sad." He wiped one of my tears away with his thumb.

"I'm sorry." I said.

"Its fine, I won't make you sad again."

I smile," That's nice to know."

He smiles.

"Can we go home?" I ask.

"Yeah, we can." He stood up and helped me get up. Then we lefted with telling anyone where we were going.
