Chapter 44: Awake from coma.

There was silence in the room as everyone kept quiet, not wanting to answer her. Should I say afraid to?. I was confused by this, and wondered who she was that has that very effect on people. Why were they afraid of her?.

Madame Maggret quietly walked out of the room, ignoring her question..

I looked down on my mate and slowly picked up his hand. It was starting to get warmer and I sighed. "Ma'am. Madame sent for you, go on while I clean this up." I raise my head to look at the maid who had just spoken. I stood up, looked at my mate and walked out through the door.

My very instinct screamed that she might ask us to leave, considering the fact that Ethan was her son. And why would Stefan try to harm Ethan?, what has he done to him?.

Just when I was about to open the door, I heard the girl's voice shout at Madame Maggret. Her voice was very loud and mean,who does she think she is?.

"You comfortably allowed Stefan Brown into this house for almost two weeks, why?." She asked, I could feel her anger through her voice. It was clear that everyone knew Stefan and what he is capable of. He was mostly feared around the clan and the witches were getting intimidated by his presence.

I turned the door knob and walked in. I stood by the doorway, staring at the girl who should be around her twenties. Her short cool toned brown bob got some blonde to match, making it a perfect sandy color, giving way to her perfectly curved brown eyes, she was gorgeous.

Her air, her statue, her movements practically overflowed with a type of strength and endless capability. And above all, she was human. A human with so much authority and power over the most powerful clan/race in the supreme world, Interesting.

"Naomi, can you excuse us please?." Madame Maggret, who had been sitting quietly, asked in a very calm voice. She looked at me coldly and turned to the old woman, bowed and walked away.

It was me and Mrs Maggret alone in the study. I waited patiently to hear her next word,"Pack your things and leave the town." But none of those words left her lips, instead she stood up with a very worried look and beckoned me to come closer.

I stepped forward and stopped in front of her. My eyes looked directly into her eyes.

"Sorry about Naomi. I hope you do not mind her outburst earlier." She said lowly. I didn't reply to this but she continued anyway.

"The powers the hunter boy had…" She stopped for a moment and thought for a while. "Forget it. I'll get back to you. Meanwhile, do not mind about Ethan, he'll be fine." I nodded to this. I waited to hear any more words, seeing that no words were forthcoming, I turned my back and started walking toward the door.

"Elena." She called and I stopped and turned, "While you're here, avoid Naomi."

I sat beside Stefan, sleeping peacefully. For the fact that a maid assured me that what she gave him was a midazolam injection.

The door burst open and worried Ava ran in. She closed the door and ran to me. She surprised me with a hug. "I'm sorry, I know how you must be feeling now." She told me, I could now remember she wasn't seen doing the commotion. She disengaged from the hug.

"Are you alright?'' Is he okay?." I shake my head positively. "Poor girl. I hope she wasn't that hard on you."

"Who?." I asked, "Naomi ofcourse. She didn't mean to, she hates everyone that has to do with hunters left alone the hunter himself. When I came back, and a maid told me that she was back and further narrated all that went on today, I got really afraid for you." She sighs, "What about him?. How long has he been like this?." She asked, looking towards a sleeping Stefan.

"I don't really know. Who's this Naomi to everyone?. Why does she look important to everyone?."

"Naomi. Naomi is someone my mom saved when she was a child from death. They killed her younger sister and took her away. Since then, she has been looking for who killed her family. Who these people were?, and why they killed her family?,"

"So why was she angry that we were here?." I asked, knowing that her story does not have anything to do with hunters.

"She suspects that the hunters had a hand in the death of her family. She doesn't like the hunters naturally, especially Stefan Brown."

We heard a moan from Stefan and looked at him. Stefan's eyes opened and my heart leaped, and quickly hugged him and kissed his forehead. "Thank God you're okay. Do you need water or anything?." I asked, happy that he looked fine to me.

"I'm fine. What happened?. Why do you look pale?." He asked, looking from Ava to me. I look pale because I was fucking worried about him.

"You don't remember?." I questioned. He shakes negatively.

"You almost killed Ethan. Why?." Ava asked. Confusion crossed his face, and he thought for a moment. "You mean Ethan?." He asked, "Yes, Ethan." I replied to him.

"Who's Ethan?." He asked again. I look at Ava, not knowing what to answer him. He sure doesn't know Ethan, so why did he fight him?.

"My brother. He is my brother." Ava answered him.

"The guy that was flirting with you?. That ba*stard." He made to get up and we quickly held him back to the bed. "That scumbag flirted with my mate. He dared mess with you. I'll kill him, I promise." He spatted and turned away from us. I looked at Ava as we stood up and left the room.

We were standing outside the door and I drew closer and whispered to her. "Did you tell Stefan about Ethan?." I questioned. "That's what I wanted to ask you. I did not say a word to him yesterday. What is wrong with him?."

"I do not know. He's been acting strange. I'm beginning to get afraid of him. The way he fought with Ethan today, his eyes turned dark, evil. I was very afraid of him today."

"I think something's wrong with him. Well, why don't you come down for dinner?."
