Chapter 11

Willow

It’s been a long day.

After Emmett had snapped at me, I had gone back to school and stayed to myself.

When I got home, I locked myself in my bedroom and turned on Netflix. I just wanted to be alone and not have to talk with anyone.

I was still lying in bed, scrolling for movies, when I heard a tap on my bedroom window. At first, I ignored the sound. But when a louder thump was heard, I sat up. It was dark out and from my second-story window, I couldn’t see anything outside.

“Willow.”

I heard my name from outside and this time I jumped and ran over to the window. Opening the latch, I almost stumble backward when I see Emmett perched on my windowsill.

“What are you doing here?” I ask, trying to keep my voice low so that my parents don’t hear me.

“Can I come in?” he asks.

I nod, and then quickly run to my bedroom door and lock it.

Emmett quietly walks into my room and he looks so unsure and uncomfortable. He appears so out of place with his dark features and darker clothing standing in contrast to my purple walls and white bed frame.

“I didn’t think you wanted to see me,” I say.

“I told you I would explain everything to you, but now things have changed,” Emmett says.

He seems tense and I feel for him. I make a move toward him and gently pat his hand.

“You can talk to me,” I urge.

I have a chair by my bookshelf and I motion for him to sit there. I place myself on the edge of my bed facing him. Emmett sits and opens his mouth, but he closes it quickly.

“What’s going on?” I ask again.

“I need to know that you trust me. That what I tell you, you will believe me,” Emmett says.

I almost laugh at this. What could he possibly tell me that I wouldn’t believe? I saw first-hand with my own eyes that there are supernatural creatures that fly. How could he think I wouldn’t believe anything he had to tell me?

“You mean, like believing that guys can fly?” I smirk.

“Yeah, something like that,” Emmett nods.

He scoots to the edge of the chair and I see his jaw tense and his legs shake. He’s nervous and that makes me nervous.

“Ok, I am listening.”

“Supernatural creatures have existed in Shady Oaks for centuries. Your grandmother had this thing about her-- maybe it’s a power, I don’t know. But your grandmother protected those of us just coming into our powers in Shady Oaks. I knew about you and your family, but we were asked to stay away. Now, I can’t anymore.”

“Why not?” I ask. This time, I scoot to the edge of the bed and lean toward him.

“Well, now that your grandmother is gone, I have this urge to be near you. I have to know you to be with you,” he says and my body shivers with his words. “And, you might be in danger,” he finishes.

My stomach drops at the mention of my being in danger.
