Chapter 26: Part 1
Scott's P.O.V
8:30 pm
Light seeped through the window as a warm breeze blew in. I watched her as her eyes lightly fluttered open and goosebumps began to appear on her arms and legs.
I stood up and walked closer towards her bed and leaned closer to comfort her.
Distress and confusion was clearly evident as she looked around the room before her hazel green eyes landed back on me.
The whole room was silent as we let her collect her thoughts.
Xavier was pacing back and forth looking at Chloe, then at the floor before looking at Chloe again.
Corey stood by the window giving his sister space as he was also trying to come to terms with what we discovered less than 11 hours ago
And Sandra, well we thought it would be best if she waited outside.
Chloe looked at me with wide eyes as she said in a croaky voice "did that all actually happen...? How is that possible ?!.."

11 hours ago
10:29 am
"We've been driving around for the past 3 and a half hours! Where are we? Do you even know where you're going?! Can I drive! I'm hungry. I hate your driving! Oh McDonalds! Scott it's been 3 hours and 45 minutes! Are we lost?"
Corey's annoying voice filled the silence in the car as I stopped bothering to reply to him 3 hours and 35 minutes ago.
He was bored of the long journey and I was to lazy and tired to punch him in the face.
For almost 4 hours I've been driving, trying to find an old friend of my father who might be able to help us locate a certain bastard.
Jebadiah stone, who happened to owe my dad a huge favor, knew everything about everyone that there is to know.
The wise man was in his late 60's and I was told he still lived in the small town 3 to 4 hours west from where my pack territory was located. Jebadiah's house shouldn't be too far now.
After waking up early this morning to get some roadtrip supplies, Corey and I were on the road by 7:30. By 7:35 Corey decided that complaining about everything will amuse him for the remainder of the trip but really it just tired us both out.
"Okay seriously though.. my grandma drives faster than you! And she's dead!"
That's it. Stepping hard on the brakes, I watched in amusement as Corey's whole body flew forward before being jolted back by the seatbelt.
"DUDE WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!?!?" Corey's face flushed red as he shot me a murderous look.
My earlier rage and annoyance was suddenly forgotten.
I couldn't help it, I bursted out laughing. That image of Corey shooting forward before slamming back into his seat with a look of shock painted on his face will forever be etched in my mind.
"Damn" I said while wiping a tear, " I wish you could see your face right now! So not attractive" I said as I mimicked his facial expression.
"Not funny man! Seriously I could've broken my face" he said with a straight face.
" What? You mean your face wasn't already broken? I thought that's why you couldn't shut your mouth!?" I replied just as serious.
"Ha. Ha. Now where does this old guy live anyway? On the moon? Why is it taking forever to get there?!" Before Corey could start running his mouth again I quickly explained to him that the guy lived a block away.
After a few seconds Corey got curious, "tell me, does this guy like, see the future or something?"
Replying honestly I told him " I don't really know, I never actually meet him before"
Corey turned in his seat to give me a disbelieving look.
"What the hell! Then how can you be so sure this guy can help us? Do you even know what he looks like?"
Sighing, I pulled the car over onto the side of the road and finally faced Corey.
"Look, years ago my dad saved the life of a guy named Jebadiah stone, I don't exactly know what happened, they don't like to talk about it, but my dad told me that after he saved Jebadiah's life, if he ever needed help with anything, Jebadiah promised he would help him.
My dad hasn't used the favor yet but I asked him, and he said I could us it. I don't know what this guy is but he is pretty powerful, most people are scared shitless when you mention his name. So just trust me. I think he could help us"
I gave him a look that basically said 'let me do my thing' before turning in my seat to face the front of the car and turned the key.
The car wouldn't start up. Shit.
I tried again but it wouldn't even make a sound.
"What's wrong with your car?"
" I don't know, it was fine a few seconds ago"
"Maybe it needs fuel?" Corey suggested "did you forget to fill up petrol?" he then asked
"No I didn't forget! I filled up not that long ago! What the hell? Why won't it start!?" Slamming my hands on the steering wheel in frustration, I took the keys out and opened the door.
"Where are you going?" Corey called out as he also took off his seatbelt and followed me outside.
"We are walking." Was my reply
" really!? No way!" Rolling his eyes he jogged to catch up to me, when he reached me, he turned to face me with a ' are you crazy' look " so we're just going to walk the rest of the way?"
" pretty much!" I said nodding my head and for the remainder of the trip Corey stayed silent, Probably lost in thought wondering what we might discover while we're out here.
We don't know what we're about to walk into. We don't even know what this guy is.
Not much scares me but the thought of not knowing what to expect sends shivers down my back.
Coming to a stop in front of a worn out yellow house, Corey and I looked at each other, indicating the other should knock on the door.
"Go on, knock" I told Corey nodding towards to front door.
"No. You knock" he said, giving me a suspicious look.
Shaking my head, I walked up the cracked wooden steps, skipping the third step as there wasn't one.
Pushing the door open with caution, the whole place looked abandoned and slightly creepy.
Sniffing the air I tried to get a scent if this place was actually abandoned, but the smell of flowers and rotting wood, took over my senses.
Just as I was about to announce my presences, I saw movement out of the corner of my eye. I tried to sniff again but I couldn't smell anything or anyone...
Taking a cautious step back I almost bumped into Corey, completely forgetting he was right behind me.
"What's wrOAAAHHHH!!" Corey's sudden shriek made me jump in my skin. Instantly turning to face him, I threw my hands up into fists, ready to punch the first thing I saw.
"Don't even think that you stand a chance against me!" Are the words that came out of the women standing before me, holding Corey in a tight headlock, with a smirk on her pretty face.
There was no doubt that the women standing before me was beautifully breathtaking.
She is obviously not my mate or anything, But damn she was hot though.
Long brunette hair that shaped her pale face, eye's as green as moss, sparkled with humor, a small button nose and soft looking lips, currently displaying a smirk as she said " you can put your hands down now" and as an afterthought she added "you can keep starring though, I don't mind" she shot me a wink.
I instantly dropped my hands by my side and tried to fight the blush that was beginning to appear.
Corey, with a slightly hesitant look on his face, asked " ah can you please let go of me now?"
As if suddenly remembering she had Corey in a headlock, she tightened her hold on him.
" not until you tell me who you are and what you're doing here!"
"Who are you?" I asked. What I really wanted to ask was what was she because honestly I was freaking out on the inside. This crazy (but really hot) person came out of nowhere and suddenly attacked Corey and I didn't even smell her coming... what was wrong with me?!
"I asked you first. What are you? what business do you have here?" She took a step back while still holding Corey in a threatening hold.
Sighing, I told her "listen, we're just here looking for an old friend. He used to live here. His name is jebadiah stone, do you know where we can find him?"
At the sound of jeb's name, her grip on Corey instantly loosened and he was able to break free of her hold.
"Jeb?" She told a staggering step back But the threatening look didn't leave her face.
"What the hell do you want with Jebadiah!?"
Holding my hands up in defence, I replied " we need his help, do you know where we can find him?" I practically begged her, I can't lose this lead, I need him.
She crossed her arms and shifted her legs, she didn't look like she was going to rip our heads off but she doesn't seem like she was going to be easily cooperative "why should I help you?"
"Because he owes me a favour" I explained.
"And because we're desperate" Corey informed her.
*****************
After reassuring her that we aren't a danger to anyone, she finally led us to the back of the house and on a dirt path that led us deep into the forest.
As we made our way through the forest she walked slightly ahead of us while still keeping an eye on us, she finally introduced herself. And I say finally because she's been giving us silent death glares the whole time.
"I hope I didn't scare you guys too much" she started with a sly smile "I'm Loriann by the way, what are your names? And what supernatural predator are you supposed to be?"
"My name is Scott and this is my cousin, Corey. We're both werewolves"
"Ahh so you're shifters, I thought I smelled dog"
Corey gave me a look, as if to say 'dude! What the hell are you doing?! You can't just give out all our information to the enemy ! We can't trust her!'
I returned his look with a one of my own, telling him to shut up!
"Can I ask you something?" I didn't wait for her permission and continued asking my question.
"Why is it, when we were back at the house, I couldn't smell you coming? What are you? Why couldn't I hear or smell you?"
"Relax, there isn't anything wrong with your senses nor does it have anything to do with what I am. The house is enchanted. All your supernatural senses don't work there and neither do my powers"
Corey looked up at her shocked. "Wait. Your a witch?!"
"Ugh! Hardly." She said offended
"Then what are you?" I asked curiously.
She stopped in her tracks and watched both Corey and I.
I'm not sure what she expected to see but she must think we passed whatever assessment she just did of us, because suddenly she told us,
"I'm an enchantress"
