Reunion

Vivian read the email on the screen in front of her with her heart pounding heavily in her chest hardly believing her eyes,

and then she read it again just to be sure, and then she grabbed the mouse and hit Print,

the printer next to the computer became active and the email printed out

she took it out of the tray reading it again her entire body was shaking with excitement so strong she felt as if she would explode

she needed to show this to the others as soon as possible

She ran down the hall to her twin sisters' room

Bang! Bang! Bang! "Vanessa! Nessa! open up" she cried knocking on her bedroom door with the

2NE1 Poster on it her voice was shaking

"what is it, Vivi?" Vanessa asked opening the door she held up the printed email in front of her face

Vanessa read it and dropped into a stoop as her knees gave out

"oh my god is this for real?" she asked holding her sister around the waist and hugging her for

support hardly able to believe it herself,

she pushed her black hair back the long tresses had fallen like a veil over her face as she gazed up at her

Vivian pointed to the official company logo that had been included in the email as well as the signature on the bottom of the letter

"they also sent additional information, they are gonna be providing us with accommodation,

meals, as well as studio practices room and getting famous dance coaches and choreographers

to work with the teams to help prepare for competition"

Vivian explained

"Oh my god we have to tell Yuqi and Anna!" she cried

"tell me what? Yuqi asked curiously sticking her head out of the doorway of her room across the hall from Vanessa's,

her door was decorated with a VIXX poster and an additional black and white

Monsta X logo towel hung above the door like a banner

The two excited girls were shaking as they showed her the letter reading it she too began screaming and jumping up the down

"Oh my god on my god we made it in I can't believe it !!!aaaaaahhhh!!!" she cried

"I'm dieing happy right now" Vanessa screamed

"not before we win the dance competition" Vivian added making them burst into gales of laughter and more screams and squeals

as the girls all hugged each other with pounding hearts filled with happiness

"We have to call Anna right away," Vivian said

"She's gonna blow yah lets record her reaction to the news for our next YouTube video it'll be lit yah"

yuqi suggested her Asian accent was coming out strong in her excitement

with a grin splitting her face, her green eyes were shining beneath

her messy curly red hair that had come tumbling down around her shoulders

out of the loosely tied bandanna she usually wore around it at home

"I agree" Vanessa responded, "hurry!"

The three girls grabbed hands and ran down to the hall

passing other bedroom doors all decorated in the various taste of their owners who all lived in the celestial youth home

They thumped down the stairs and spilled into the rec room where the other kids were hanging out

They ignored the curious glances they were getting and rushed to the front desk to use the phone

Vivian dialing annas number

"Please pick up!" yuqi breathed anxiously

Anna was just returning her textbooks to the school library since next week was the last week of the semester,

she sighed a little melancholy as she stood in line behind some other students, also returning their books,

every year the process was a tedious one, she recalled the number of times she had stood inline

with the yuqi and the twins joking around and gossiping while they waited together but now they were graduating

Those tedious times before were blissful and happy even the other times she was stressed out about various exams

and endless cramming with the girls she chuckled softly

Her phone rang getting it out of her pocket while trying to juggle the books in her hand without dropping them, made her sigh in annoyance, but managing to get it successfully

then the books went flying in the next few minutes when she heard the news from her girls

She tried to stifle her own happy screams of joy

"Shhh" someone shushed her while she scrambled to retrieve the books

while receiving annoyed comments from the other disturbed students also waiting inline

She was gasping trying not to choke herself at the same time bursting into tears

with the effort, she ended up leaving the line altogether

The shrieks of her sisters coming down the line accompanying her as she quickly exited the library

"Yaaah! how can you give that kind of news in the library??"

She wailed she was crying noisily on the phone "oh my god I love-hate you guys so much,!"

"congratulations we are going to Japan for the summer!!!!" she screamed she was even more thrilled

her heart was flying away she was ready to go home and pack her bags

"I know right? it's going to be so awesome, they are pretty much providing us everything all we have to do is get there" yuqi said

"Don't worry girls, we are definitely getting there, all our hard work won't be wasted,"

"Yeah but the competition though that won't be easy there are 20 thousand dollars

and a sponsorship contract at stake," Vanessa said

"yah We can't mess around if we really want to win either" yuqi tossed in

Anna nodded "I just want us to get the opportunity to at least stand on stage and show what we can do,

even if we don't win at least we had the experience and got work with other great dancers and choreographers,

we could learn a lot from them, and improve our own skills I don't want you guys to pressure yourselves just thinking about winning

I vote we call a clan meeting to discuss this Anna suggested

agreed yuqi Vivian and Vanessa responded on the line our usual spot in the woods

then ill see you guys right after I return these textbooks anna replied see you guys shortly

She hung up the call and went back to the library this time with purpose in mind,

she needed to begin wrapping up her high school life,

she decided to empty her locker while she was at it instead of waiting for graduation day

like they had initially planned and then took it on herself to clean out the girl's lockers as well

the less loose ends they had to worry about the better

she cleaned the four lockers knowing her girls well carefully un-taping photos and other decorations of their favorite idol groups

off the inside of their lockers and packing their things into a plastic storage container

"Hi Anastacia cleaning your locker out I see?" one of their teachers said in passing

"Yea I am" Mr. Hunt

anna replied smiling pleasantly greeting the forty-something ish teacher

he was one of the friendlier teachers in a green pullover sweater over a buttoned shirt and pair of jeans and black leather shoes

"you guys will be graduating soon," he remarked smiling his blue eyes

held a wisened look over his gold-rimmed spectacles that sat across his freckled nose bridge

"I still remember when you guys first came here like it was yesterday

, this years class was one of the good ones, hope you all have good luck with your college applications,

it's not easy out there, these days celebrities are paying to get their kids in the backdoor"

he shook his head and sighed

"When I see hardworking students like you all have been

it makes me really disappointed

things like that are causing you guys to have a harder time getting into the colleges you want to,

well good luck, have great graduation"

"I will thank you sir" she replied he left her and continued down the hall

she was greeted by a few other schoolmates before she finished everyone wishing each other well

She finally finished cleaning and got the cover on the storage container and was able to leave

lifting it in her arms, she lugged it out of the school she started down the front steps,

the first three steps carefully navigated as she manages to carry the container,

the fourth step down however it seemed someone had spilled

drink or water on the steps because her sneakers unexpectedly splashed into a puddle there and her foot slipped right off,

the container she was holding began to fall as she struggled to regain her balance but she was beginning to fall as well

"Oh shit!" she cried

Her only option was to let go of the container and save herself

"Woah easy there" someone cried a pair of hands grabbed her in time from behind

She gasped in shock catching her breath as she looked over her shoulder straight into a pair of familiar hazel amber-colored eyes

he had matured and become even more impossibly handsome in the last six years, he had gotten even taller by a few feet

the previous softness of his youth had been shed away

for harshly defined sculpted cheekbones his nose was even more arrogant

looking and that jawline of his was even sharper and commanding

he reached right around her and grabbed the box from her hands

now finding her body encircled by his long arms sandwiched between him and the container

she had just enough room to turn around to face him

his wolf eyes sparkled warmly as he gazed down her sexy and confidence under his perfect arched black eyebrows,

his hair was longer, wavier almost curly as it fell in a shining mane around his face and shoulders

drawing contrast to his darker honeyed skin tone that begged to be touched

"Hello Anastasia looks like we are fated to keep meeting because of accidents!" he said with a crooked smile

his voice was huskier and deeper than before too, she felt like she could melt into a puddle at his feet

as her heart tripped over itself and the wonderful burst of tingles that sensitized her skin and senses

"It looks like you're fated to be the one to save me from those accidents" she replied softly with wide eyes

He dropped his head and his nose brushed affectionately against her cheek

warm golden flames bust to life between them at the skin on skin contact

six years ago she had no idea what those celestial flames meant,

but now she was older and she had since learned more about their kind, she understood she knew now

Justin's seeking lips brushed her forehead then the tip of her nose as he kissed her gently letting his head rest against hers

"I missed you so much!" he breathed with his eyes closed

she could get drunk off his scent she thought happily drinking him in

the earthy scent of oak woods damp after a summer rain sweet honeysuckle and a faintly smoky tang

her hands hesitantly captured his face

her fingers tracing over his beautiful features hardly able to believe he was really here

and holding her like this she felt like she was dreaming

"I missed you too" she replied breathlessly as golden flames danced where ever her fingers traveled,

as he opened his eyes his wolf gazed back

eyes filled with so much love and adoration she was unable to help herself as she kissed him

tentative and brief she felt shy and embarrassed as her lack of experience showed

six years ago she hadn't felt like this,

he had felt more like a close friend who matched her well,

they shared many commonalities that had seemed like coincidence back then,

they were both celestials pretending to be human

they bonded over the shared experience and kept each other's secrets

familiarity, and warmth, sprung up quickly the more they spent time together

as they got to know each other more, they shared a natural affection and had a mutual unspoken understanding,

in a short time, she had gotten to spend with Justin back then for just three weeks,

yet she experienced so many feelings she had never felt with anyone else,

being with him felt natural, even though they had barely just met, it felt

like they were always close and had known each other for years,

"It was only during these years of separation she had gotten to learn why, and exactly what it meant

when golden flames appeared when a pair of celestials touched skin to skin

he smiled into her eyes with his warm gaze and her heart flew to him like an arrow shot from a bow

her hands gripped unto his coat lapels as her pounding heart felt like it wanted to explode inside her chest

"I've come for you! Anna," he said "I know it's probably really unexpected, me showing up all of a sudden but I'm here to claim you as my true-mate properly,

back then I didn't know what the golden flames meant, we were true-mates and were supposed to be together, we were both ways too young to even think about anything like that,

and I let you go without realizing it, but this time I promise you,

I absolutely won't let you go again, I love you Anastacia Weyland, and will love only you, always as a true-mate should,

I wanted to do this the right way so I convinced my dad and granddad to agree I've done everything to get ready for you will you come away with me?"

she stood there staring at him speechless

"what is it?" he asked "please answer me, Anna," he was desperate

she grabbed his coat and gave him a little shake

"I was about to come to you, that's what," she blurted out

"that's why I'm cleaning out our lockers right now,

and I have a clan meeting with the girls about it, we were planning to come to Japan for the summer, for the dance competition at your family's hotel!"

she was unloading on him Justin realized she was like this six years ago always held everything inside

and when they met it's like she would explode and spill everything in relief of having someone to share her troubles with

"We decided to audition for it", she continued

I and my sisters are in deep shit because, in a few months, we are gonna hit maturity and change

and gain our tails, so we can't stay here anymore, we have to extract from our adopted human parents somehow

so we needed a really good reason to persuade our parents to lets us leave,

and your dance competition was our only hope

I thought once we got to Japan, I would find you and get help, and we just got invited

to compete, we made it past the preliminary auditions,

and I only got the news that we made it, about an hour ago,

I'm pretty much on the verge of preparing to run away from home if we have to

and you're here, your timing is really impeccable

please don't hate me I'm so so sorry to be

in so much trouble right now and making things so complicated" she finished finally in a rush of words, barely taking a breath in between,

but Justin hadn't missed a single word of it

he smiled at her "how can I hate you? I adore you, don't you know I came all the way

here from japan to steal you away for myself? and I'm not letting anyone stop me from claiming you, not even your human parents, its time for me to bring you home", he leaned down and kissed her

thoroughly because if he didn't he was going to lose it

her arms found their place around his neck completing their embrace

she moaned at the delicious taste of him her hands entangling themselves in his glorious hair

finding the tresses soft, against her hands, the waves of hair flowed through her fingers like silk and

it seemed to be alive she realized as his hair began to coil around her hands welcoming her touch,

their bodies warmed against each other Anna could feel so much of his muscular body against her own

he was still doing martial arts and his body had matured along with his features he was now

way more muscular than he had been back then,

now he was at peak form as a male celestial

he was immensely more powerful than he actually appeared to be

now sculpted and stacked this was something that excited the fox spirit within her

she reveled in the fact that her mate was so strong and he had such a great body

he was handsome, sexy, hot and beautiful and all hers

she clung onto him kissing him back greedy for the addictive flavor of him

sweet, dark, spicy, and molten as he sucked and licked on her lips like they were the most delicious thing he had ever tasted

he was melting her what was air again? She didn't need it to live anymore she just needed him to not stop ever

Justin broke it off dragging the air into his lungs

they were both breathing hard his forehead leaned against hers his eyes were sparkling

he looked so happy at this moment the pair unable to help the happy laughter that spilled from them both

he kissed her again briefly before resting his cheek on top of her hair

she hugged him warmly like that the two rocked slightly as she listened to their matching heartbeats calming down again.
