Chapter 5

"I can't believe that you just lied to my face" I repeated, not believing the words myself . "I-" Lilah was about to say something but I need to warn her first. "The next words to leave your mouth better be the truth." "I-I um" she stuttered. Wow, this must be something big because this girl hardly ever stutters.

"Spit. It. Out" I ordered one last time, slowly losing my patients. "I'm..we're.." she stuttered again. "For fuck sake we're Supernatural creatures" Bella blurted out. I laughed and said "Yeah good one now tell me why did he call him 'Warlock'". "She is telling the truth" Alex whispers.

I look between them. "Are you serious?" I asked really wanting to know if they are joking. "Look in our eyes" Lilah instructed. When I did they told my that it was true. "When you say 'Supernatural' do you mean werewolves and vampires?" I asked. " Yes but there are different and mixed species that aren’t very known of. " Bella explained.

Is that why you two are constantly fighting and why Alex is scared of Bella" I concluded, gasping at as realisation hits. "And why you said that he would heal in a couple hours " I said pointing at them as I pieced everything together.

"So I'm guessing Bella is a vampire and Lilah, you're a werewolf because you two hate each other " I said slapping my hand on my forehead.

The growling and hissing makes sense now. Then I realised something. "Wait, wait, wait, if you're a Warlock why haven't you used your magic on the guys that bullied you?" I asked looking at Alex with a confused face."I locked them away," he whispered. "Can I asked why you did that?" I asked tilting my head."I h-hurt people and my magic is useless," he said looking down.

I didn't want to open a wound so I just said "Ok so you need to learn how to control them". "What do you mean?" he asked, playing with his fingers."I mean you need someone to train you on how to use your powers and not hurt people". I explained. " But there is no one to teach me" he stated.

"Well that's not totally true" Bella whispered. "Can you explain what you mean by that" Alex asked looking at Bella. " I know of a girl said to be a were-witch hybrid who could teach you." Bella explained further.

" Who is she and where can we find her? " I asked. " She's in your pack Delilah" Bella informed, looking towards said girl. "She is?" Lilah asked stuffing her face with pizza. "Yes but I heard that she thinks she shouldn't exist because of what she is. So to cope she stays to herself " Bella said sighing as she got up from the couch to take a slice of Pepperoni pizza. " So she could help me?"Alex asked hopefully. " She would if Nate asked her" she said while chewing. "Why me?" I asked. "Because it's really hard to tell you no" she said shrugging.

"And why is that? " I asked raising an eyebrow at her. " We don't know other than the fact that you have a powerful aura around that would make an Alpha Wolf or an Elder Vampire fall to their knees in submission to you" Lilah said. "Which is why we feel so honoured to be even in the same room as you" Bella said. "It is also the reason why we feel ashamed or guilty when we do something to upset you" Alexander joined in.

"So what am I?" I asked genuinely wanting to know the answer. " We don't know but you must be something powerful because of your aura" Lilah said in a 'duh' tone. " Mmm, ok then" I said making sense of what she said. " Is that everything " I interrogated. "Yeah, some maybe most people in our school are Supernatural beings" Alexander said in a small voice. "That was expected, I guess " I said.

"Well that's about it" Bella said. "Can we go back to the show now?" Lilah asked pointing to the paused TV. "Sure" I said unpausing it."I'm guessing you feel better, Alex" I asked. "Yes, I'm fine" he says softly, cuddling a cushion tightly. "Lilah, did you plan on keeping this from me forever?" I asked. "No, just until I found out how to tell you" she said. "Fair enough" I reply, taking a bite into my pizza.

Delilah’s POV

I thought he would be pissed at me for keeping this from him. He didn't even need me to shift to prove it because he could tell from my eyes.

I don't know what he is. That scares me but for some reason, I would jump off a building if he told me to. I know he wouldn't tell me to do that but if he I would do it. The question is...

Why? Why would I do that for him.

Bella is a vampire. I should hate her, we're natural enemies and yet even though I would NEVER tell her this. I actually don't hate her company.

She's funny and nice. A really good person to argue with. I didn't think I could tolerate being near her at first but when we were riding here she told me that she doesn't hurt people, she feeds on humans who are giving blood willingly. That's when I started accepting that she isn't a horrible blood sucker.

I got a new friend thanks to Nate.

Bella’s POV

I didn't think he could be so calm about this. I expected him to be so angry that Elder Victor would cower away in fear but he wasn't, he didn't even yell at us.

I don't know what type of Supernatural he is. That scares me. I've lived a couple hundred years and I've never seen anyone like him.

He makes me feel like, I've been blessed or something to just to me in the same room as him. When he accepted me as a friend, I felt like I was going to be the next leader of the Vampire coven times a hundred. He is something very powerful and I've seen him angry once. 'Note to self never piss him off EVER" I note to myself.

I know Delilah hates me but if she tolerates me, that's enough. I know she wasn't joking when she said that she doesn't trust me with her life but I understand why.

People tend to think that I'm a cold, blood thirsty and monstrous murderer. The thing is, I'm not. The thought of feeding on someone who isn't willing makes me feel sick. I feed from blood donors. Even then I don't drain them or make it painful. My old 'friends' used to say that they're all gonna die one day so being nice doesn't matter. I hated it.

I have friends who won't force me to hurt others. Thanks to Nate.

Alexander’s POV

Nate, the guy who saved me. How can someone be so calm and angry at the same time? He should be throwing a fit but he's not. He's handling it really well.

Even though I can't stay angry, I would definitely not be calm about this. In fact, I would be absolutely terrified. Being in a room full of people that could kill him and yet still he is so calm about this.

What is he? When I lied to him about how long those guys have been bullying me, I felt like the weight of the world was set on my shoulders but when I told him the truth I felt free. Lying's not usually difficult.

I don't know why he hangs around with the vampire. She's an abomination. Her kind killed my parents. She should not be trusted. She could hurt us at any moment. 'She doesn't look dangerous' I thought. 'That's what she wants you to think' I argued with the side of me that had any faith in her being harmless.

'She said she would find someone to help you with your magic' my conscience said. 'I guess so but I still don't trust her' I said to myself. 'Nate trusts her' I thought. Nate wouldn't let her hurt me. He promised.

Thank you Nate, for giving me hope.

Nathaniel’s POV

"Are you guys going or do you want to stay over?" I asked. They all turned to me."But where would we sleep" Bella asked while finishing her meat pizza. "There are 9 bedrooms in this mansion, not including mine or my mom's room" I stated.

"We don't have any possessions here either." Lilah said. "There is a room made for clothing for both genders in any size or style" I explained. "But what about our familys?" Bella asked. From the corner of my eye I swear I saw Alex frown. "You can just tell them that you stayed with a friend" I suggested. Alex's eyes started watering up.

"Alexander, are you ok?" I asked. "Yes, I'm fine" he said sniffing. "Are you hurt?" I asked moving closer beside him."It's nothing,I'm fine" he insisted looking away. "You just lied to me twice. You don't have to tell me what it is, I just want to know if you're in pain or not" I told him."I'm not hurt or in pain" he answered wiping his face.

"Okay" I didn't push further because something told me it was a sore subject. "So do you want to stay or go home? It's a bit late so I just want to give you options" I explained while pointing to the clock. "Nate it's only 6:39" Lilah said raising an eyebrow.

"Fine, then go home, I'm sure your brother would love to annoy you to death" I said sighing dramatically. "I still have cake in the fridge" she whined. "There is a full chocolate cake in the refrigerator" I said wiggling my eyebrows at her. "Sold" she said jumping of the couch sprinting to the kitchen.

"My coven wouldn't like me staying out with without permission" Bella frowned."I'm sure they can let it go. It's just a sleepover, what will we do huh? SMOTHER YOU WITH A FLUFFY SOFT PILLOW IN YOUR SLEEP?" I asked in a creepy voice at the end, tapping my fingers against each other in an villainous manner. "I guess not" she said laughing.

"What about you Alex?" I asked. "My family won't mind" he mumbled. "Alex, come here" I said tapping the seat right next to me. He move over to me, not looking at me once." What happened to your family" I asked. "They abandoned me," he stared crying. That wasn't the whole story but that was enough for me. "So where are you staying?" I asked. "My aunts place" he said with hidden fear in his voice.

"Can she leave please," he said glancing at Bella, attempting to wipe his tears with eye back of his hand."But I didn't d-“ Bella was about to say 'But I didn't do anything wrong' but I didn't want him to feel uncomfortable. "Please go into the kitchen with Lilah," I said politely. "But-" I cut her off again. "It wasn't a question Bella, go." I commanded. She sped out of the room as fast as lightning.

"My aunt is an addict. Sometimes she comes home with strange guys who stare at me in weird ways. She told me that if I want to survive I have to do things that I'm not comfortable with, things I won't enjoy." he explains, looking around as if they would pop up out of air. 'What she introducing him to?' I asked myself. "Do you still want to live with her" I asked concerned for his safety. "I have no where else to go," he cried, hugging his knees to his chest.

My heart ached for him. "You can stay here" I offered. "I couldn't ask you to do that for me" he whispered softly while playing with his fingers. Cute. "Funny, you didn't ask, I offered" I stated. "What if your parents don't want me here?" He asked wiping his tears that were still flowing." My mom would never turn her back on someone who needs help...in fact she might just adopt you" I chuckled at the fact that she probably would.

"Okay" he said. He would make a perfect brother."Thank you" he said looking into my eyes. I could see how grateful he is."You're going to be seeing a lot more of me so just tell me if you need anything" I said smiling slightly at him. "Can I...hug you?" He asked. A blush creeped unto his face. I smile, staring at him. "I'm so sorry, forget I said anything" he said shying away. I smiled more at how cute he is. "Come here," I said pulling him into a bear hug. He sighed and relaxed into my arms.

"Aww" I heard Lilah's annoying voice."I SHIP" Lilah screeched."No he's almost like family to me and I literally only met him today, let's not go there." I said still hugging him."Yeah, he's not like that. Please don’t say that." Alex agreed with a blush of embarrassment sitting on his face."Aww ship sunken" Bella teased Lilah pretending to be sad, trailing a finger down her cheek, like a tear drop.

"Shut it mosquito" Lilah growled. "No thanks, flea bag" Bella hissed playfully. "Ok so you wanna play?" Lilah asked stalking towards Bella in a predatory way. "What are you-" Bella was cut off by Lilah tackling her to the ground and started tickling her."Stop, I'm... gonna... die." Bella said between laughs."Too bad you're already dead" Lilah said continuing to tickling her.

"I can feel the tension coming of you two" I said rocking Alex in my arms. "I ship them." Alex said. "WHAT?" They yelled in unison. "Doesn't feel too good does it?" I asked smirking at them. "The position you're in is not helping your case" I said pointing out the pose they are in. Bella is on her back, pushing Lilah's shoulders and Delilah is straddling her hips with her hands on Bella's waist. They both looked down at the position and stood up blushing.

"Aww" I teased. "Fuck you." Lilah growled. "No thanks, you're missing an important part of the male body I'm interested in" I said smiling at her frustration. "Shut up" she pouted. "Fine, I'm done" I said laughing. "Thank you" she sighed. "Guy there are 5 bathrooms, so you can go have a shower if you like" I suggested. "Do you have a hot tub?" Bella asked.

"Yes there is a tub" I said. "So where is the bathrooms?" Bella asked. "Come with me" I said unwrapping my arms from around Alex and I held his hand. I started walking up the stairs with them behind me.

"The first bathroom is the one behind the blue door which is also a guest room but I will come back to that when I show you all of the bathrooms which don't include mine or my mother's, obviously" I explained. "The other one is behind the grey door which is just a guest room without a bathroom attached, then there's the white door which leads to the clothing room" I said pointing each door out.

"Clothing room?" Alex asked tilting his head slightly. "The one I mentioned earlier. It's a room with any clothes, jewellery or shoes you need. Think of it like a shopping centre but free" I said holding Alexander's hand with our fingers interlocked."Ohh" he said nodding slowly. "Would you guys like to see it?" I asked. Lilah and Bella squealed."Yes!" They screamed bouncing in their spot.

"Then let's go inside" I said walking towards the stairs. "Wait why are we going up the stairs" Lilah asked. "There are two entrances because the room is really big" I explained. "Fair enough" Lilah replied. As we walked up the stairs Bella gasped at our surroundings. "Nate this place is huge! If I ever get lost, please don't find me" Bella says. I laugh at her statement."This is the third biggest room in the mansion" I said opening the door.

"Woah…" they said together, their mouths gaping like fishes.
