Chapter Sixteen – Kass

Sitting on his overly large bed, I jiggled the sleeping boy and said, “Gabriel. Gabriel. Wake up.” I continued to shake him for the next minute, and he showed no signs of waking. Well, that was a first. Gabriel’s never been in that deep of a sleep before.

I sighed, giving up. I wasn’t about to waste the rest of my night by trying to wake his sorry ass up just to tell him that Claire and Steven were Morphers, no matter how awesome it was.

My legs took me to my room and I welcomed the soft cushion to my aching back. Thank God Steven and Claire showed up, otherwise I…I didn’t want to think about it. They probably saved my life, and for that, I owed them so much more than I could ever repay.

Though…Crixis didn’t seem like the giving-up type, so he was undoubtedly coming up with another way to find and kill me.

I always was one to look on the bright side of things.

Footsteps rushed into my room as Gabriel loudly whispered, “Kass. You’re okay.”

Propping myself up, I was seconds away from saying something when he pulled me to him and wrapped me in a giant bear huge that I could not escape for the life of me.

“I had the strangest feeling,” he whispered into my ear, “and also the weirdest dream.”

I chuckled. “I bet it’s not as interesting as my story.”

Gabriel was instantly doubtful, saying, “No, I don’t think…wait a damn second.” He held me at arm’s length. “What happened to you?”

“Long story.”

“Tell me.”

“Fine,” I gave in, “fine. I went to the graveyard, and before you ask, I don’t know why. It was like someone was forcing me to go there. Crixis just happened to be there, we got in a fight, you know, the usual. Oh, and Steven, Claire’s uncle, is the white wolf.”

Gabriel blinked, clearly not quite understanding what I meant by that.

“The white wolf,” I said, taking my hands to his shoulders and shaking them. “Steven and Claire are Morphers. They can morph into animals.”

“I knew there was something off about them…I felt it at her dad’s funeral Saturday. I knew it,” he repeated again and again. Gabriel loved to be right, and when he was, he tended to rub it in your face.

“Yeah. Uh-huh. Sure you did.” I didn’t believe him. If I had no idea, why would he know? I knew these people more than he did.

“Oh,” he paused, meeting eyes, “you don’t believe me? You are so mean, sometimes I wonder why I’m even nice to you.”

I laughed. “Nice? Gabriel, you’re hardly nice to me. Ever. You’re the mean one here.”

He smiled broadly, because he knew it was true. He was a jerk to me and he wasn’t ashamed of it. How endearing. Not. “Awe,” Gabriel pinched my cheek like he was some grandmother who did that normally, saying, “grow up. I’m not mean to you; I just tease you. There’s a difference, believe me.”

His hands pushed me down and I laid back, enjoying the softness of my fluffy pillow.
