CURSE OF THE MYSTICAL DOUBLE

CHAPTER FOUR

 
      After all the well wishes and cutting of cake,I was exhausted and very happy. Actually, I think my excitement made me tired. During the party, I wondered why Derrick was no where to be seen. I later found out from Lothana that Derrick was behind everything planned for my birthday party. It looks like everyone kept it so well from me. Lothana said Derrick didn't attend because he couldn't bring himself to watch me leave but I wanted to thank him so I called him instead. I have never had a surprise birthday party and plus the mapping ceremony it was lo too overwhelming.

     Now It's dark out and we who are going to Silver Moon pack,about five of us are settled in a luxury bus sent by the pack. My eyes must be puffy and red from crying. I couldn't tear myself away from Naomi. Eventually she had to run to catch her bus. I feel like a part of me has been torn away by her absence.

     I had to carry an extra box because of lo the goodies I was gifted. What can I say? My pack loves me.

     The journey was uneventful for me because throughout, while the other girls were chatting I fell into a restless sleep. Every now and then a little noise would startled me awake and I'll fall back into a snooze. I think I must have slept for close to ten hours until I was jolted awake by one of the girls.

     "Princess Deraya. Please wake up and eat." Princess was a title given to daughters of an Alpha in my pack. Different packs have different ways of referring to them.

      My weary eyes fluttered open and I took in the science around me. The girls, a four of them were all staring at me worriedly. They should be worried. It's unusual for me to have slept for that long.

      "Are you okay?" One of them asked. I gave a small smile and sat up. I don't feel okay. My body felt really heavy. I was tired before we began the journey but this exhaustion is on a whole new level entirely. I mean I have slept for then hours. I should be we'll rested right? Besides, werewolves don't get tired easily. 

       I watched as a girl placed a plate of food on a table at my front. I know they feel as omegas, they need to serve me but I didn't like it one bit. The girl was trembling and I looked at her with concern. She was the small girl who I saw at the ceremony. 

     "Vanessa!!" One of the other girls screamed just as the glass cup the little girl was about to place on the table slipped from her hands and shattered into a tiny thousand pieces. She apologized and was about to pick them up with her bare hands when I stopped her.

     "Don't! You will only hurt yourself." I said. She stepped back still trembling.

     "Why are you..." I started to say when Caleb our guide for the journey came into our compartment with an alarm to look. 

    " Was anyone hurt?" he asked ,approaching me.
" No"we all answered.

He looked my way and I think I saw something close to relief pass over his face .

"Princess Deraya" he started ."Your attention will be needed at the call center once you're done eating" he said and bowed.

     "Okay ?"I said more of a question than an answer because I was confused I noticed the other girl's also sat a bit farther away from me.

     "What's wrong?" I asked them trying to move closer and taking my plate of food with me.

     "Y...your skin" one of them said .I look down at my skin and found nothing wrong with it.

      "It's glowing" the little girl said .I just frowned  and pursed my lips .I don't understand what they mean by that statement. My wolf gave out a loud growl which startled them.+
