" Even the moon has a dark side, a side no one knows about "
Eleanor's POV
After I completed the training, I started heading towards the forest path, not walking for a bit. I felt something walking beside me and I didn't pay any attention to it.
" why you do not speak with me ?"
“Because I have nothing to say,” I answered
"But we are friends of Elinor, so how much do we know each other?"
“8 years ago,” I replied
"Time has gone really fast."
“Yes, it is, and until now I still don’t even know your name or what you really are.” I answered her to stand up and look at her. She was a little older than me, with black hair and about the same height as me.
"You can call me anything you want, I've already said that."
"Yes, I called you a name and you didn't like it and..."
"Eleanor, who are you talking to?" A voice interrupted my conversation to see the owner of the voice
“Uncle Andrew, how are you?” I said to him and he smiled, looking at me suspiciously
"Good, I thought you were talking to someone."
“No, I talk to myself sometimes. I like to set up a conversation between myself and myself. It really is a good thing to try.” I said trying to explain.
"No, thanks, I don't think of doing that. Others will think the Red Moon Flock Betta has gone crazy," he said to me, starting to laugh.
"So where is Max?" I asked him about his son
"Don't you know him? Now he's in the training room and he doesn't come out of it. Alison's bad training habit has gained a lot and also since he's the next beta he must want to increase his strength."
"He's only seventeen, there's still time."
"You're talking like a very old person."
"I've turned 19 already, and now I'm approaching my twenties, I've grown up."
" Yeah, I'm really old. Let's go."
" to where ??"
"My house, Adele, wants to talk to you."
"She could only risk me."
“But I found you first, so come on,” he said, taking my arm and pulling me behind him
We walked into the house and I sat next to Aunt Adele. I saw her smile at me excitedly. I don't know what kind of conversation made her so excited.
"Eleanor, I want to tell you something. In fact, there is someone we want to introduce you to."
"A person? Anyone"
“He is the son of a house, the herd of resistance,” she answered me
It's Uncle Kristen's herd. He's close to my dad, but I've never seen a member of his herd without Uncle Kristen.
" Why ? "
“He once saw you here when he came for work and he talked to Andrew and he told him that his girlfriend had died of some disease and somehow he was able to live and go on with his life,” she said and I began to feel uncomfortable because I knew what was next they were trying to introduce me to him Let's be friends that will never happen
"So how about you meet him tomorrow, he's coming here."
"Aunt Adele is Andrew's uncle, I know you two are thinking of me but let me tell you one last time and in all seriousness I will never get into a relationship with someone who is not my soulmate, yes I know my soulmate is dead and that means I'll be alone and that's more than good. Thank you both really but I refuse."
“We get it, Eleanor, we apologize if we upset you, we are just worried about you.” Uncle Andrew apologized
"It's okay, I know you two are, thank you. I'm going now" I told them as I stood up to get out
I went in front of the river and sat down. It was my father and mother's favorite place, which in turn became my favorite place
“I want to know the reason for your refusal. Didn’t you say that your comrade died then why are you refusing?” The voice of that girl sitting next to me again echoed in my ear.
"Because he's not my boyfriend," I replied
He is not my companion and no one else will ever be my companion.
Kayden is the name that whenever I mention it in my mind I feel my heart rate increasing and I feel nostalgic because it is the name of my companion
When I was five years old, I was in severe pain, and I remember that day very clearly as if it hadn't been 14 years already
I saw my mum and dad standing next to me trying to help me but to no avail until the therapist came to tell them that I was completely fine physically but after that, the pain passed and I felt calm until I heard them say that Kayden had died I didn't know why or why he died at that time
But after I grew up, they told me that Kayden was killed by an animal and his dead and mutilated body was found within the borders of the Black Stone herd.
And so that night everyone understood that the pain I went through was the pain of the death of a comrade, even though I was young, and although our wolves were not with us at that time, our bond was more alive than any other werewolf.
The fact that Kayden found me while I was still in my mother's womb is something rare and like a miracle.
"I don't understand you," she said to me
“No one does,” I replied
Nobody understands, or rather knows.
Everyone thinks that Kayden is dead and does not exist, but I am the only person in this world who knows very well that he is still alive and still lives somewhere
It is the truth that no one knows but me, although I felt that pain, but I did not feel it.
I remembered when I was 9 years old I felt a pain in my heart again I didn't tell anyone and I tolerated it was a sharp pain I don't know the cause but I'm sure it has something to do with my companion.
"You're weird," she told me
"Really? Who is strange here? Me or you, ghost?"
"I am not a ghost. I told you that the word ghost is said to evil and dead spirits that refuse to go to their place and wander around everyone, but I am a spirit."
"Soul? So shouldn't the soul be dead, but I don't think you're dead, you're getting old" I told her
"With you, really, I'm still alive and my soul leaves my body sometimes."
" Why ? "
"Because I have to stay by your side."
“Why do you have to stay by my side?”
"Because you are an important person to us."
"You? Lives?"
“No, we are in the kingdom.”
"A kingdom? Which kingdom?" I asked her to look at me in horror as if she had said something she shouldn't say
"Don't ask me more, you shouldn't know that, and you shouldn't know it from me either, or he'll kill me if I tell you."
"Who will kill you?"
"Strong person... don't talk to me, you weren't like that before. Why are you suddenly talking to me so much?"
"Because in the early years I considered you non-existent, I thought you were only a fantasy that my mind woven, but then I began to feel that you really exist, but I'm the only one who can see you and now I'm trying to discover your mystery" I told her
"Good, the time must be approaching, and there is a solution to this really, although we haven't found it yet."
“What are you talking about? What time?”
"It's time for you to go"
