Chapter 15 - *** the past***

 *** My parents met in the most cliche ways, they had bumped into theirselves in the halls, while at college, from there they went out on their first date and soon things moved on to them getting married and having me , I grew up at cork In Ireland,my parents were traders and mainly sold scented quality candles , we weren't either rich nor poor, everything went well until my father got sick, and my mother practically took over the bussiness,and things became tough for us, my mother was a beautiful woman, but mainly kept to her self, she never spoke about my grandma nor her family, I practically knew nothing about her , my father said he was an only child and his parents had passed away early.

 *** One day my mom received an alarming phone call, and almost fainted that day, I could vividly remember overhearing her hushed conversation with my father, talking about how we had been found out, she rushed out of the room that day and held my hand shakily, Emily ! , my sweet child, she said over and over again without actually finishing the sentence, what's wrong mother I said holding her hand, you must be careful, never let anyone know about your real background, I knew my mom changed her name in the past, which I think was from a fall out with her family, she never spoke about any of them, no matter how I pleaded, I could remember her telling me , never to tell anyone about her no matter who asked, she had burned all our family pictures and portrait except the one I had sneakily hided , she had made me swear and promise her that I would never touch a certain leaf , she called it mugwort, I had researched the leaf out of curiosity, but the results were all shady and confusing things, she had later on left with my dad that same night, and in the next few hours the news of their death reached me, it was the most painful and heartbreaking day of my life, I cried until I could no longer shed any more tears, they had left me in such a way that left a void behind, soon my father's uncle, helped with the burial arrangements,none of them wanted me to stay with them cause they had their one responsibilities to take care of.

 *** Soon a letter arrived saying I was to continue my studies here at oveil high, and that was how I got here, I never really had any friends in the past , since my mother was always wary of people, and to make things worse a had a good record of attracting trouble, even when I stayed still, my mom said I would understand when the right time comes,she always made sure I never really left the house for a long time, I had live a blemish life in the past but at least I had them with me, my father on the other hand was a simple man, always happy and playful, made my childhood memories pure, I said down the portrait back on the table and laid down on the bed with my eyes on the ceiling, I wasn't too sure if I was already use to life over here on oveil high, everything was new to me , friends , foes and of course Dante, he was the first guy I had ever gotten close to, everything he showed, gave and did to me were all my firsts, did he really like me or not, guess I would find out with time, I thought about everything till I slept off.

 *** Class went by the usual way the next morning, it felt like I was back to being a normal student, aside bella my other classmates were beginning to also warm up to me , except the girl that played that prank on me, she rather seemed to the avoiding me lately, as Dante had said , he was no one to be found during class, and kluas too wasn't around, what really were their identities for them to be able to skip class as they wished.

 *** I had finished class and was walking down the hall, when a student came to inform me that the principal wanted to see me, I was worried at first?, hope I hadn't done anything wrong, I walked to her office nervously and knocked, and was soon ushered in, good evening principal Ann, you asked for me,yes miss Emily please sit, I sat down looking nervously around her office, how are you liking your stay ?, it has been wonderful principal Ann, heard you and Dante are getting close? she asked, staring directly at me, not really principal Ann, his just a friend , there's no need to be tense miss Emily, I just wanted to see you in person, I would give you a friendly advice miss Emily , Dante is not an easy person am surprised his opening up to you, I know it sounds weird but since you are already involved with him, I ask that you please try as much as possible to understand him, his been through alot so I sincerely would want him to be happy, and I hope soon he would open up to you on other things.

 ** I have been thinking about what principal Ann said to me but still can't understand why she would permit the relationship between the both of us, she should have been angry and asking me to concentrate on my studies than any romantic relationship at the moment, so many things about Dante was weird already, what's really his deal, I went to the the dinner hall for dinner, I haven't seen bella the whole day, even during classes, she never missed classes, I decided to head to her dorm room once I was done with dinner,I almost had no appetite since I was still on my period, which made me picky when it came to food, I ate as little as I could and headed down to bella's dorm.

 *** Their dorm house was a bit different from ours the girls here all looked at me the second I stepped in, I saw silver walking up to me with the usual sickly smile that irked me, hi Emily did you come to see me, she asked sounding excited like I was so bossom friend or something, no I came for bella I said immediately not wanting her to think we had any friendship going on, touche! , that not a problem I would escort you to her room, she walked with me walking so close to me, we walked to bella's room, it was open and I walked immediately to see her lying down looking tired and pale, what's wrong bella I held her, she opened her eyes smiling weakly, you came to see me?, you didn't come to class today?, why? , just a fever I would be fine, are you sure you don't want to tell her bella, silver chipped in looking between the two of us, stay out of this silver, humph you are indeed a hopeless wolf, I turned to bella not listening to the nonsense silver was spouting, let me take you to the school clinic, no there's no need for that , I would be fine by tomorrow, go back to your down it's almost curfew time.,but I would be worried about you I said , and you are my friend, this is what friends do for each other, I know Emily but you have to go back, I promise you I would be as healthy as hare by tomorrow. seeing how stubborn she really was about it I went back as she requested.

 *** You really are a good friend, silver said to me sarcastically immediately Emily left , Dante punished you because of her and you still care about her, what's so special about that bitch, something you obviously don't have I said to silver and as expected she frowned, you are so lucky I can't touch you now if not I would shred your wolf bones to fine powder and use it as to make potion, she walked up to where I lay down smiling erily, don't forget am way older than you are, I won't mind ruining the plan to teach you a lesson, you already treat her like she's his mate, but am sure he hasn't marked her , stop dreaming silver, he would never belong to you, was not in the past , still would not be even in the future, and what makes you so sure about that , you think I don't know you were the one who leaked the news about the scroll I said to silver what's that suppose to mean? and I watched as her facade cracked in fear, are you scared I would tell everyone don't bother, Dante knows it was you already, and the reason you still have your head to your neck is because of your mother, so think carefully before you touch me or her, I failed my duty to protect her and I gladly accept the punishment, because these are not longer ancient times doesn't mean the rules no longer exist , remember there's always some one watching you, and I watched her leave looking nervous and worried .
